Chapter 220 Veronica’s Fainting Spell

He waved his hand once again to signal to Veronica not to step forward as he intended to face the danger by himself.

“Maybe… we should just give up looking. What if there’s something that could harm both of us?” Veronica hesitated for quite some time as she was concerned that curiosity would kill the cat. Well, we’re the cats in this case.

“We’re stuck in a chamber right now and if there are any dangers lurking around that we don’t know of, then that would be even more dangerous.”

They were still unable to exit the chamber even at this moment.

Inside the chamber, they had discovered more than a set of skeletal remains. Although it was quite likely that these people had died from starvation or dehydration due to the lack of food and water here, they could not exactly rule out the possibility that other external factors were involved too.

The water’s too clear and it doesn’t make sense at all. More importantly, there is nothing in the water, so what was it that made such a huge commotion earlier?”
