Chapter 0608 With a swift motion, Alexander's hand hovered and then snatched the chest from its resting place, shaking off years of dust with a single flick of his wrist.

The ancient artwork, once obscured, then lay bare before him. The simple yet masterful strokes depicted a scene of ancient warfare, perhaps the tomb master's most glorious battle.

However, time had worn away any hope of uncovering the warrior's identity.

"The name of the one who rests here doesn't matter. What matters is... the jade amulet." With a steadying breath, Alexander gently lifted the lid of the chest.

There it was—the jade amulet! Tucked inside the wooden box was a jade amulet, its green hue as deep as the heart of the forest, nearly identical to the two others he had already found. The intricate patterns

within played a game of hide and seek, matching perfectly with the ones on its siblings. The only twist was a slight shift in the pattern's flow, the exact meaning of which remained elusive. Caleb's clues pointed to one thing: gather all eight jade amulets to unlock their deepest mystery.

"The energy's barely there." The initial thrill faded as Alexander ran his fingers over the refreshing surface of the new jade, a silent sigh in his thoughts. For some reason, that jade's life force paled in comparison to the one from Coconut Wind Island. If that one was a vast lake of energy, this was nothing more than a puddle, useless for his quest to reach the Lord of War realm.

"No energy, no problem. The main thing is, it's mine now." With a grin breaking through, Alexander pocketed all three jade amulets, gave a respectful nod to the silent guardians of the tomb, and ignored the scattered treasures as he made his way back to daylight.
