The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 836

Daniel wasn’t joking; he was dead serious.

Standing at the entrance of this cave, he could feel it – there were a lot of ghosts inside.

In a place filled with ghosts, all electronic devices would fail, and every battery would short-circuit. If the batteries short-circuited, how could a flashlight work?

The more complicated the environment, the more useful the simpler things.

So, when it came to lighting this cave, torches would work best.

Because, here’s the thing: ghosts are scared of fire.

Jax, unsurprisingly, responded with his usual cold laugh.

“Ha!”

After his laugh, Jax scoffed and said, “Daniel, even though we haven't gone into the cave yet, we stood at the entrance for a while. Just standing there, I could feel how damp it is inside, with a lot of moisture in the air.

In such a humid cave, even if you light your torch, the wood will get drenched once we enter and the flame will go out. Plus, there's wind in the cave. Do you think your torch can stay lit in the wind?

So, when we go inside, only my high-powered flashlight will work. Let me tell you, my flashlight is custom-made, waterproof, moisture-proof. It works even 300 feet underwater.

The opposite side of the valley was at least 500-600 meters away, but his flashlight lit it up with ease.

“Daniel, look and see how powerful this flashlight is. I can light up the opposite side of the valley from 600 meters away! Can your torches do that? No, they can’t!”

Jax was proud, gleaming his flashlight across the valley.

“Jax, sure, your flashlight works great outside. But, once we’re inside the cave, it’ll become useless. And remember, we agreed you’d be the last to go in, to watch our backs.

So, I suggest you take a torch just in case. If your flashlight fails inside, you’ll be lost in the dark. Worst case, you might bump into a ghost and wet your pants. That wouldn’t be good, would it?”
