The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 972

Blake, who was in the lead, quickly ordered the Henckles’ disciples to light up their pre-prepared torches.

However, just as he was about to light his torch, candles on both sides of the tunnel began to burn.

The entire tunnel was instantly awash in light, but the sudden appearance of the two rows of red pillar candles made everything seem all the more bizarre.

Naturally, that startled quite a few people. “There's no need to panic, Mr. Gordon,” Blake reassured. “Oxygen entered the tomb when we opened it, and it's merely the reaction with phosphorous in the air that ignited the candles.”

Warren nodded and turned to the group of people behind him. “Don't panic, everyone. Try to keep up. There are death traps everywhere, so please watch yourselves!”

After saying that, Warren continued to advance into the tomb with Blake. Now that there was light in the tunnel, they could all finally pick up the pace.

More than ten minutes had passed, but the group was still walking down the seemingly unending tunnel. Since there hadn't been any signs of danger for so long, everyone had gradually calmed their nerves and even started chatting among themselves.

Jared and Colin were at the back of the group, but surprisingly, Jared's expression was grim and not at all relaxed like the others.

“This ancient tomb sure is huge, Jared. We've already walked so much, yet we still haven't reached the burial chamber!” Colin remarked.

Jared furrowed his brows and pondered for a moment. “There's a chance this isn't an ancient tomb...” “It's not?” Colin exclaimed with shock. “Jared, didn't you say this is the Emperor's Mausoleum? What else could it be if not an ancient tomb?”

“I'm not sure either, but this place gives me a sense of impending danger. You'd better stay on your guard,” Jared warned.

For some reason, he couldn't shake off the ominous feeling of dread, to the point where he subconsciously activated Focus Technique and flooded himself with spiritual energy.
