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 vignt, Ray couldn’t help but look at Gerald as he asked, “…Do you hear that, brother


    Gerald?”


    Nodding, Gerald then replied, “I do.”


    With that, all five of them immediately began looking for the exact source of the sound… until


    eventually, Gerald realized that it wasing from the very center of the round tform in the


    chamber…


    “…The sound ising from over there!” said Gerald as he pointed at the tform.


    Hearing that, everyone quickly gathered around the tform before pressing their ears onto it… True


    enough, now that their ears were directly on the tform, the constant knocking became even clearer!


    Upon closer inspection, the knocking sounded almost rhythmic as well.


    “…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 a


    living thing would be capable of making such varied knocking.


    After a slight pause, Gerald then instructed, “…Investigate the tform, Ray! We may be able to open


    it 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 tform, Ray then said, “Gerald, I think I’ve found


    something!”


    Walking over to have a look, Gerald could see that a chain was attached to the pull ring. In other


    words, 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 you


    to leave this ce 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—the


    others held their breaths as they kept their eyes glued on the round tform, ready to bolt if anything


    bad happened.

    Regardless, the nking 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 tform slowly split in two, revealing an


    opening in the middle of it!


    Seeing that, Ray and the others didn’t dare to move an inch, simply remaining vignt as they waited to


    see what would happen next…


    Gerald—being the fearless person he was—on the other hand, simply tossed the chain onto the


    ground before walking toward the now open tform…


    Staring into the hole, Gerald couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows…
