    Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2372


    Noticing what Gerald was looking at, Walter was prompted to say in a slightly worried tone, “ Countless


    cultivators have tried to enter Fyre Cave in the past thousand years. Unfortunately, even the most


    powerful among them ended up sumbing to this maze -like cave… Only a few extraordinarily


    intelligent people were ever able to reach the Red River, the final checkpoint to Fyre Cave! Regardless,


    these skeletons you see all over the ce? They’re actually the luckier individuals. After all, this means


    that they died naturally. The other cultivators most likely died from getting devoured or falling into the


    river…”


    “…I see… I’m guessing we’ve only bumped into a few monsters along the way since the others have


    already been killed off by other cultivators,” replied Gerald with a nod.


    “Indeed. With that in mind, we’re currently  walking on a path paved with the flesh and blood of our


    seniors. If we’re lucky enough to get out alive, we definitely need to bring these skeletons out for a


    proper burial,” muttered Walter with a sigh as he stared at a few other skeletonsying around.


    Naturally, Gerald nodded in agreement.


    After walking a little longer, Gerald was prompted to ask, “Speaking of which, you mentioned a Red


    River earlier, right? Why weren’t the previous cultivators able to cross it? Weren’t they capable enough


    since they managed to get there in the first ce…? Also, I recall hearing a legend about a red river


    capable of dissolving humans whole… Could this be…?”


    “This is the one, yes. Also, is that all you’ve heard about the river? The truth is, the river has already


    existed for billions of years. We know since an ancient civilization has made records about it.


    Regardless, ording to those records, the Red River was the cause of a massive flood that led to a


    mass extinction event! While the earth ended up being mostly submerged underwater after that, once


    the water finally subsided, newnds were formed on the earth’s surface. That wasn’t the first time it


    happened either. The process has actually repeated quite a few times! Whatever the case is, I think


    you should know that thend we’re currently standing on is part of the earth’s original surface!”


    exined Walter.


    “…I see… So, the Red River ended up getting buried underground together with the civilization back


    then…” said Gerald.


    “Exactly. Anyway, after the owner of the saintly ruins eventually discovered the Red River, he used his


    supreme heavenly techniques to transform it into a formation! With that in mind, you can see the river


    as an extremely powerful magic artifact. An almost imprable tomb-guarding magic artifact, to be


    exact… Either way, after thousands of lives were lost across the span of several generations, my


    ancestors were finally able to gain some insight into the tomb-guarding  magic artifact. The knowledge


    itself was obtained in exchange for their blood, but putting that aside, the map they drew is the key to


    solving the Red River’s formation. Though we had the map, my ancestors also left instructions, stating


    that until someone could figure out the secret behind the solution, we weren’t permitted to head to Fyre


    Cave… ” replied Walter.


    “So that’s the full story… It all makes sense now!” said Gerald who was finally able to see the bigger


    picture.


    At that moment, one of the Zemans couldn’t help but exim, “My god… It’s getting so hot!”


    True enough, the further they went, the greater the zing heat felt. Knowing what this meant, Walter


    then began picking up the pace as he seriously said,


    “After passing through so many caverns, I believe that we’re exceedingly close to the innermost cave.


    With that said, since we’re getting closer to Fyre Cave, this much heat is to be expected! ”


    “Really? That was… an oddly smooth trip. There were certainly less dangers than I anticipated… Even


    so, it’s still sad that we ended up having to lose a few of our brothers… ” muttered one of the Zemans.


    “While I agree, we’ve alreadye this far, so let’s not think about that for the moment… Instead,


    focus on our uing challenge, the Red River!” replied Walter with a slight frown…

    Following that, the group made their way past aplex tunnel… and the second they stepped foot


    into a massive cavern, all of them found their jaws dropping. After all, despite clearly still being


    underground, clouds could be seen hovering around in the approximately three-meter-tall cavern!


    What more, the artificial sky seemed to light the ce up, even though there wasn’t any sunlight !


    As it turned out, all this was caused by an extremely wide river within the cavern. The ‘sunlight’ was


    basically the reflection of the river’s silverish water, and the steam clouds had been formed due to the


    area’s great humidity.


    It took Walter a moment to find his voice, but when he did, he immediately eximed, ” It’s… it’s the


    Red River…! ”
