My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 424

Chapter 424 

“I merely fed you tamarind wine!” Nash said to her. 

However, he felt a bit guilty. 

The person he had kicked earlier was Melody. 

Then, when he reached out, he unintentionally touched the wrong spot. 

Melody narrowed her eyes and asked, “Really?” 

Smiling, Nash replied, “Would you believe me if I said it wasn’t on purpose?” 

Then, he quickly changed the subject. “In the dream, which group were you with? The ones in the tunnel or those with me?” 

“I feel like I had two dreams. One with you and another in the golden tunnel!” 

Melody did not dwell on Nash’s actions but answered his question. 

Nash then looked at the others, “Is it the same for you all?” 

Everyone nodded in agreement. 

Xeno said with a wry smile, “Did I… get myself killed in that dream?” 

He, too, had experienced two dreams. 

It was as if his thoughts split into two roles. 

Nico sighed. “It’s so ridiculous… I actually killed Derek in my dream. His arm is thicker than my thigh. How could I even stand a chance against him?” 

The group 

chatted about their dream scenarios as they continued walking. 

They once again arrived at the entrance to the golden tunnel, but this time, they saw a passage 

carved into the wall. 

The height of this passage was only about a meter, forcing them to crouch as they walked. 

The passage stretched for over a hundred meters. 

Upon reaching the end of the passage, Nash was once again taken aback by the sight. 

The exit of the passage opened up on a cliff wall. 

Below was a massive cosmos diagram made up of countless undulating stone pillars. Each pillar had a character written on it. 

Above the cosmos diagram hung an enormous bronze coffin. 

Nash activated his Third Eye to examine the coffin but realized that his Third Eye could not see through it. 

The coffin was absurdly large. 

It was about five meters in length, two meters in width, and roughly three meters in height. Could such a massive coffin only contain one person, the King of Medicine? 

Nash looked at the pillars on the cosmos diagram and murmured, “These pillars must be some kind of trap, right?” 

Bradley approached and wondered aloud, “With such a large coffin, are all of the King of Medicine’s burial items inside it?” 

Nash pulled out a rope, attached a grappling hook, and threw it. 

The hook wrapped around the chain of the coffin. 

Meanwhile, Bradley hammered a black iron stake into the rock on the other side. 

“Wait here for me… I…” 

“Mr. Nash… There’s something behind you… 

Before Nash could finish his sentence, Finn’s trembling voice came from behind. 

Everyone turned to see a multitude of worm-like creatures, similar to leeches, with a red line on their backs. They emitted a faint glow. Their sheer number turned the entire passage red. 

Bradley’s face paled. “These are crimson-lined leeches. They’re extremely poisonous, almost like deathworms!” 

Nash shook the rope, releasing the grappling hook. He said, “Let’s get out of the passage first.” 

After saying this, he grabbed the rope and jumped down. 

The rest of the group threw down their backpacks and followed him down the rope. 

Bradley took out some explosives from his bag, set them at the entrance to the passage, fuse, and quickly slid down the rope.
