Chapter 1767
Chapter 1767 Soon after, Gerald and the others returned to the chamber once more…
However, once inside, they were suddenly greeted by odd knocking sounds…
Now feeling vigilant, Ray couldn’t help but look at Gerald as he asked, “…Do you hear that, brotherGerald?”
Nodding, Gerald then replied, “I do.”
With that, all five of them immediately began looking for the exact source of the sound… untileventually, Gerald realized that it was coming from the very center of the round platform in thechamber…
“…The sound is coming from over there!” said Gerald as he pointed at the platform.
Hearing that, everyone quickly gathered around the platform before pressing their ears onto it… Trueenough, now that their ears were directly on the platform, the constant knocking became even clearer!Upon closer inspection, the knocking sounded almost rhythmic as well.novelbin
“…Do… you think someone could be trapped inside, Gerald…?” asked Ray.
“…Judging from the rhythmic knocking, that may just be the case!” replied Gerald, feeling that only aliving thing would be capable of making such varied knocking.
After a slight pause, Gerald then instructed, “…Investigate the platform, Ray! We may be able to openit up!”
Hearing that, Ray instantly did as he was told. After a while, he noticed something odd.
Pointing at an obscure pull ring on the round platform, Ray then said, “Gerald, I think I’ve foundsomething!”
Walking over to have a look, Gerald could see that a chain was attached to the pull ring. In otherwords, it could definitely be pulled.
“…All of you, stand back! I’m pulling the ring! The second you feel that something’s wrong, I want youto leave this place immediately!” ordered Gerald as he looked at the rest of his party members.
Once they were quite a distance away from him, Gerald then began tugging the pull ring…
As Gerald closed his eyes tight—since he needed quite a bit of force to even tug the pull ring—theothers held their breaths as they kept their eyes glued on the round platform, ready to bolt if anythingbad happened.
Regardless, the clanking of chains soon began echoing across the chamber…
After a little while, Gerald couldn’t be bothered tugging slowly anymore and simply yanked the chain—that was several meters in length—till it could no longer be tugged.
Now that the chain couldn’t be tugged any further, the round platform slowly split in two, revealing anopening in the middle of it!
Seeing that, Ray and the others didn’t dare to move an inch, simply remaining vigilant as they waited tosee what would happen next…
Gerald—being the fearless person he was—on the other hand, simply tossed the chain onto theground before walking toward the now open platform…
Staring into the hole, Gerald couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows…
