Chapter 409 The Stairway to Enlightenment

When Caspian and the others arrived at the forest, they discovered a lot of rare gems. There were various valuable medicinal herbs here that were not sold anywhere.

After Sylvia and the others picked a lot of Cranesbill and saffron, they quickly left the area.

Since there were many people who had followed them into the tomb, they needed to pick up their pace.

The sky gradually darkened.

The forest was going to become more dangerous.

In a quagmire not far from Caspian’s troop, screams sounded one after another.

It was frightening to hear.

“Mr. Xenos, we’ve killed the giant crocodiles. Unfortunately, we lost two men!” Horace reported with a glum expression.

They managed to discover a type of century–old shining Cranesbill,

Since it was a rare treasure, the men from the TMAA and Shadow Gate began fighting each other over the herb.

And as they were fighting, dozens of giant crocodiles suddenly appeared.

In situations like this, even an expert martial artist would not be able to win with their fists.

This made Nixon feel worried.

He had brought five thousand men with him, but more and more of them had died.

He could not be sure how many men would have survived by the time they returned.

Nevertheless, they had fortunately managed to get their hands on the shining Cranesbill.

Once again, both Nixon and Gilbert gave their order to chase after Caspian.

They must not let Caspian be the one to take away the Eldorian Scroll fragment.

It was at that moment when several sparks suddenly appeared in the forest.

A group of people sat around a campfire.

Various fresh meat from wild beasts were being roasted.

“How much farther do we have to go, Mr. Stewart Senior?” Caspian asked Xandros as he looked around.

“There’s no need to rush. Once we get through this forest, we’ll arrive at the grave,” Xandros said calmly.

Inferring from Xandros‘ words, it seemed like they would have to continue walking until dawn.
