Chapter 112
Eye Sculpture was completely gone, and even the indentation on the stone wall was nowhere to be found.
Oliver searched carefully, and everyone else stared at the entrance, wondering why they couldn’t see the mechanism that was clearly present when they entered the tunnel.
Unnoticed by everyone, Louis and Yoseph, who were at the back, took the opportunity and intentionally stayed behind. They hid in the corner, with Yoseph standing against the stone wall and allowing Louis to climb onto his shoulders.
Standing on Yoseph’s shoulders, Louis reached out and touched the top of the passage. He took out a dagger from the sheath on his leg and used the tip of the dagger to pry out the luminous pearl.
The two of them had already planned it well. They would follow Oliver out of Enchanting Tunnel, deliberately fall behind at the exit, and then collect a few luminous pearls to take back.
As long as they exited Enchanting Tunnel, they were no longer afraid that Oliver would leave them behind.
Louis carefully pried out one luminous pearl and put it in his pocket.
Yoseph stood below, turning his hea
and watching Louis pry the luminous pearl. Yoseph was both excited and thrilled, urging Louis in a low voice, “Louis, quickly… Pry faster and get more of them…”
The two of them were both thinking about how much each luminous pearl was worth. In reality, they had no idea, but Gabriel had told them that these luminous pearls were the highest quality and worth
millions of dollars each. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Louis moved quickly and skillfully, prying out five pearls in no time. These luminous pearls were/about 5.5 feet apart. After prying out five of them, they were almost 33 feet away from the entrance.
Louis and Yoseph were so engrossed in prying the luminous pearls that they didn’t realize they had gone deep into the tunnel.
Suddenly, the tunnel rumbled. Louis turned his head and saw that the entrance of the tunnel was collapsing, with rocks falling and sealing off the passage completely.
Louis was stunned, and Yoseph’s expression changed as well. They were shocked for a moment before Yoseph pushed Louis away and rushed over to try to move the boulders blocking the passage.
However, the boulders weighed thousands upon thousands of pounds, and human strength wasn’t enough to move them.
Moreover, the collapsed rocks blocking the passage were not just one or two but countless. The passage was completely sealed off for more than 30 feet.
The two of them were so shocked that their faces turned pale. They began pulling and pushing the rocks while shouting. desperately, “Mr. Eastwood… Mr. Eastwood…”
The voices from outside couldn’t be heard. There were only the echoes from the passage reverberating inward. “Mr. Eastwood… Wood… Wood… Wood…”
Yoseph was on the verge of tears. “Louis, it’s all your fault… If you hadn’t been so greedy and had just taken a few, this wouldn’t have happened…”
Louis immediately got angry and retorted, “Bullshit! I was stepping on your shoulders. If you hadn’t moved me inside, how could I have pried any of the luminous pearls? You only care about the good
things, but when something goes wrong, you
blame it on me?”
Yoseph’s face turned mournful, and after a moment of desolation, he quickly took off his backpack and said, “Let’s use explosives. We have explosives!”
But after checking the backpack, they couldn’t find any explosives. Louis’ backpack was already placed at the exit of the tunnel.
Outside the tunnel, Oliver and the others were shocked by the violent collapse. When the dust settled, they looked at the tunnel entrance and realized that it was completely sealed off. There was no way to go back in.
Oliver took a while to recover and then asked Wayne, “What about the explosives? Do we have any?”
Although Louis and Yoseph were the ones trapped in the cave, he didn’t plan to give up. He had to try to rescue them.
Wayne spread his hands and said, “Mr. Eastwood, the explosives are in Louis’ backpack, and they are trapped inside the
tunnel!”
Oliver’s mind went blank, and he turned to look at Gabriel.
Gabriel was also at a loss and shrugged, saying, “Their own greed caused this. They brought it upon themselves!” Hailey was still unconscious, and Oliver was very worried. Wayne checked her and said, “Mr. Eastwood, don’t worry too much. Ms. Fox doesn’t have any major health problems. Her condition is mainly due to overwhelming grief.”
Oliver felt slightly relieved and looked up to see Sienna gazing at the sky in a daze. Suddenly, he wondered what she would
think of his expression of concern for Hailey.
Wayne and Simon had been checking the tunnel entrance to see if there was any way to rescue Louis and Yoseph, but after inspecting it, they shook their heads.
There was nothing they could do. Even if they had the explosives in hand, in this situation, there was no way to blast through. It would only make the collapse worse.
Oliver forced a wry smile and shook his head. Then he quietly walked behind Sienna and sat down beside her after thinking for
a moment.
Without turning her head, Sienna asked, “How is she?”
Oliver honestly replied, “She’s unconscious, but there’s nothing serious. It’s just that she’s too heartbroken.”
Sienna sighed and said, “How can she not be heartbroken? She has lost her parents and loved ones. Oliver… please comfort and take care of her. I hope she can get through this.”
Oliver nodded, feeling deeply moved. Although Sienna was stubborn and domineering, she was actually kind-hearted.
“Hailey is indeed pitiful. However…”
Oliver suddenly realized that Sienna was even more pitiful. She didn’t have much time left, and she had come here to find a solution for herself. But now, in this situation, what hope did she have?
The thought of it made Oliver’s heart ache. He couldn’t help but open the collar of Sienna’s shoulder and examine the eye imprint.
The eye imprint on Sienna’s shoulder was even more distinct and horrifying now. Oliver endured the pain in his heart and gently touched it with his hand.
If he could transfer her Blood Malediction to himself through touch, he would do it without hesitation.
However, what Oliver didn’t expect was that his touch actually “sucked” the eye imprint on Sienna’s shoulder!
The eye imprint on Sienna’s back suddenly seemed to come alive, wriggling its way into Oliver’s fingertips.
Oliver was stunned and suddenly became excited!
“If I could absorb Blood Malediction, would that remove the threat to Sienna’s life?” he wondered.
Once Oliver discovered this, he immediately focused his attention on “sucking” Blood Malediction.
In fact, he didn’t need to intentionally have this idea. The “energy” in his body automatically absorbed Blood Malediction.
Oliver also discovered that the “energy” in his body seemed particularly interested in Blood Malediction. Once it entered his fingers and body, it was like a starving person encountering a table full of delicious food. It eagerly devoured Blood Malediction.
After being absorbed into Oliver’s body, Blood Malediction turned into nourishment, instantly enhancing that “energy.”
The “energy” derived from Book of Immortality had clearly grown significantly.
Oliver was both astonished and delighted. He carefully examined Sienna’s shoulder, and the skin there was smooth and delicate, with no trace of the previously terrifying eye imprint.
It actually worked!
Oliver was ecstatic. The problem he had been yearning to solve had initially plunged him into profound disappointment. Who would have thought that a miracle would occur and the “energy” in his body had saved Sienna?
With Sienna out of danger, Oliver suddenly remembered himself. “Could the eye imprint on his back be removed?” he
wondered.
