A breathtaking underground pcey before Andrew and Chantelle''s eyes. This pce, which could


    definitely be confirmed as the burial ce of the Fallen Crimson Dynasty''s royalty, was almost asrge as the


    za above ground.


    In other words, this underground pce was the size of two football fields. The pce''syout strictly followed


    the most orthodox central axis design of ancient royalty. It was aplete replica of an ancient emperor''s


    pce.


    However, this underground pce also contained many fantastical murals. For instance, skies with lightning


    and thunder, and ssic Torasesy scenes of immortals riding the wind were all vividly and realistically painted


    on the pce''s dome.


    On the ground level, the Tree of Eternal Life was cast in gold, towering over ten meters high. A single nce


    was enough to strike the soul with its overwhelming majesty—a treasure beyond mortal measure.


    On both sides of the central axis stood life-sized warrior statues and scaled-down versions of royal pces. At


    the very center was an underground artificialke. Even Andrew found thiske to be a work of divine


    craftsmanship.


    Actual water was flowing within it—It was as if the gods themselves created it.


    After a moment''s thought, Andrew realized this must be sulfur hot springs bubbling up from underground


    rivers. In the center of theke stood a magnificent pavilion.


    Inside the pavilion, on a stone tform, sat a white marble table. On the table was a safe secured with golden


    sps. Yes, it was indeed a safe, but one crafted from precious golden teak.


    From Andrew''s angle, he could even see the intricate mortise-and-tenon joints along its edges.


    Chantelle quickly said, "During the Fallen Crimson Dynasty, foreign safes, firearms, and cannons had already


    been introduced to our country."


    Andrew nodded, his gaze sweeping across theke to the very front of the pce''s central axis. Step by step,


    white marble stairs with jade railings led upward to a golden dragon throne with five fire-breathing dragons as


    its backdrop. On the throne sat a lifelike figure.


    Andrew''s first impression was that it was alive—a living person. However, after careful observation, he


    realized it was a mannequin with facial features painted on. You could tell from its sitting posture, which was


    somewhat stiff.


    Even so, this mannequin gave Andrew a very unusual feeling. To be precise, it made him very ufortable.


    He felt that the eye sockets seemed to contain eyeballs that could actually move.


    At this moment, they were staring in one direction with a malicious, hateful gaze. The direction it was looking


    toward was the other extreme of the central axis.


    At the main entrance to the underground pce, a group of people were gathered, conducting another round


    of explosives on the pce doors.


    Andrew immediately spotted the obsessively fanatical foreigner Stanley. He also saw Rafael, whose eyes


    revealed endless greed, along with Mosby and others.


    Of course, Kevin was also present, his eyes like a wolf''s. He stared at the various rare treasures within the


    pce, his whole body already eager and impatient.


    Chantelle gasped, "Mr. Lloyd, look—they have been captured!"


    Andrew''s face turned ice-cold as he had already seen that Tiana, Natasha, and Jerry had been captured.


    They were all bound with their hands behind their backs and forced to kneel to one side.


    Andrew frowned as he did not see Logan and the rest.


    A bad feeling shed through his mind—could something have happened to Logan?


    Nheless, it was not the time to think about such things.


    Leading Chantelle, the two quietly made their way down from the secret passage to the pce floor.


    From ground level, the entire


    underground pce felt even more


    imposing. Without anyone needing


    to exin, Andrew could sense that


    only the ancient imperial families


    could have built and created this.


    Chantelle said regretfully, "If this


    underground pce could be fully


    revealed to the world, then the Eight


    Wonders of the World would


    be Nine Wonders; at the top of


    these wonders would be the Fallen


    Crimson Dynasty''s underground


    pce!"


    Andrew said calmly, "Actually, being


    hidden underground isn''t necessarily


    a bad thing. At least during those


    war-torn years when the nation was


    unstable, it wouldn''t have been


    ravaged andpletely looted by


    foreign powers."
