Meanwhile, James had already arrived at the underground cavern.
He finally got on land, but because of the wetsuit, he could not walk properly, so he took it off.
“It’s over there, James.” A soldier pointed ahead of them.
“Alright.”
James nodded and said, “Lead the way.”
“Honey, I’m here. The cave is damp, and there’s a lot of moss. Watch your steps,” Thea supported James and reminded him.
James slowly advanced with the help of Thea in the direction of the soldiers.
The underground cavern extended in multiple directions. Fortunately, he had sent people to search the place in advance. Otherwise, it would have taken him a few days and nights.
“We’re here.”
The soldiers pointed to a location in front.
They shone their light ahead of them.
James saw the open space in front of him, and in the center was a stone boulder that was ten meters high. The light illuminated the place, revealing the dragon head statue in front of him.
The air in the underground cavern was probably humid all year round, causing the statue to be slightly unidentifiable. Still, after careful inspection, it could be recognized as a dragon head.
“T-This is it!” James exclaimed.
He recognized the place.
Back then, he had drifted into this cavern and found a medical book with the Crucifier within the crevices of the dragon head statue.
However, it was incredibly dark. He did not have enough time to look around the place and left in a hurry.
James instructed, “Check to see if there’s anything, especially around the statue.”
“Yes, sir.”
The soldiers took out their flashlights, walked close to the statue, and searched the surrounding areas.
Some of them even climbed onto the statue to search.
James quietly stood aside.
As time passed, the disappointment in his heart grew stronger.
He knew that finding what he needed was highly unlikely.
