Chapter 404 The Threatening Powers of the Traps
Gilbert, Nixon, and the others were thinking the same thing.
They knew better than to enter the tomb hastily.
They planned to observe before making a move.
After a few minutes had passed, the center of Mount Evercloud split into two and the tomb inside was completely exposed.
The structures inside were uneven and extremely grandiose.
“What a bunch of losers. What’s there to be afraid of? This Eldorian Scroll is mine!” an expert martial artist said as he rushed out.
Nothing happened when he reached the area outside the tomb.
He laughed. “What a bunch of cowards! This Eldorian Scroll fragment belongs to me now!” he said excitedly.
The other expert martial artists exchanged glances.
His words motivated them..
Several more people rushed out.
About a hundred people arrived outside the tomb.
Caspian remained unperturbed.
“Mr. Lynch, should we be making a move? What if someone else gets it before us?” Aster asked anxiously.
He did not covet the Eldorian Scroll fragment.
However, it was not because he did not want it but that he was too weak for it.
If Caspian was the one who obtained the Eldorian Scroll fragment, it would increase his powers greatly.
On that account, he could continue working under Caspian in an environment that suited him.
“No need to rush. Having them test the routes works in our favor. If you plan to join their suicide mission, be my guest,” Caspian said nonchalantly.
Aster became mute instantly.
The reason Caspian did not feel the need to rush was because Xandros had remained calm the
entire time.

He had not made any move yet because he knew the tomb best.
At that moment, there were hundreds of people outside the tomb.
“Are we going as well, Ms. Morrison?” Ginger asked curiously.
“No!” Jyn said dismissively.
Her gaze had never left Caspian.
If Caspian stayed put, she would do the same.
“Let’s push the door open!” someone said as hundreds of people united to force open the door
to the tomb.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang. Something had happened!
Countless arrows flew out of the tomb with lightning speed.
“Take cover! There are hidden arrows!”
All the expert martial artists were flabbergasted..
“Run!” someone from the crowd cried out.
Hundreds of expert martial artists began running for their lives..
But it was too late!
Blood–curdling screams could be heard as more and more expert martial artists were impaled. They died on the spot.
Those arrows were coated in poison.
There were hundreds of expert martial artists, and it only took two to three minutes for all of them to die.
The ones who planned to join them were all stunned.
Many who died were eternal grandmasters. Even with their powers, they were not able to avoid the surprise attack.
It was now clear that the tomb was filled with grave danger.
Nixon and Gilbert exchanged glances. Both of them felt unsettled.
With hundreds of expert martial artists dead, the entire Mount Evercloud felt ominous.
The scene they had just witnessed was truly terrifying. No one dared to approach the tomb
anymore.
“Let’s go, kiddo,” Xandros said to Caspian in a lowered voice.

“Wouldn’t that be a suicide mission?” Caspian said, momentarily stunned by what Xandros had just suggested.
The corpses had piled up like mountains and yet Xandros was planning to go ahead.
“Are you serious? The first trap has already been triggered. There’s absolutely no danger…” Xandros said irritably.
