My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 437

Chapter 437 

Nash laughed. He was about to attack when he heard rustling. 

There were countless deathworms and crimson-lined leeches, packed tight and slithering on the stone walls around him. There were also several bizarre crustacean -like creatures packed in with them. Soon, the walls on all sides were covered with poisonous insects that resided in these tombs. His skin crawled with unease as he watched these deadly creatures blanket the walls. 

Meanwhile, Heidi had reached the innermost circles of tiles. The pressure was immense as she needed to choose the final tile. Her forehead was drenched in sweat. 

The tiles in the innermost circles were the most dangerous and the most powerful as per the design of the 18 Rings of Doom. Activating a mechanism here would not only prevent them from opening the main tomb chamber but also endanger Melody and Finn, who were behind her. 

Finn and Melody noticed the poisonous creatures crawling down the rock wall and felt shivers shoot down their spines. 

“Heidi, make your choice quickly. We’re running out of time,” Finn urged, his voice laced with desperation. 

At this moment, the Undead Corpse King had already sensed the presence of the people approaching his nesting area. 

He let out an angry roar and charged. 

Nash immediately pushed his speed to the limit to reach the cosmos diagram. He swung his sword fiercely at the Undead Corpse King, but the creature barely moved and just casually swatted Nash aside. 

Unable to stop the Undead Corpse King, Nash shouted urgently, “Hurry up, you guys!” 

Heidi had to risk her life. Eyes shut tight, she took a leap of faith and activated the final tile that was the size of a fingertip, selecting Leopole. 

The sound of gears turning echoed through the room, and the others tensed, fearing they had activated a trap. However, no mechanism was triggered, and the eight chains connected to the bronze coffin began to extend. 

The bronze coffin slowly descended, and the cosmos diagram tiles stopped moving. 

“Go into the coffin and get to the next level!” said Bradley. 

“We have no choice. We must hurry!” added Anders, his voice trembling. 

The coffin descended rapidly, and the group jumped inside when it reached the same level as the ground. Nash was still locked in a fierce battle with the Undead Corpse King. 

His strength had greatly diminished after he spewed blood from his mouth, but defeating him remained a formidable challenge. 

The Undead Corpse King knocked Nash back with a punch and immediately rushed toward the coffin. Nash took out a handful of talismans and threw them. He channeled his true energy, igniting the talismans. 

Dozens of them burned and unleashed lightning bolts and flames that were aimed at the Undead Corpse King. However, despite them being high-level talismans, they were ineffectual against the Undead Corpse King. 

However, they did manage to slow him down. The Undead Corpse King roared in anger, the insects moved even faster.
