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.

 

If there was indeed some living creature in the jar that could potentially harm them, it would be better for them to know their enemies first before building a defense system.

The water was as clear as crystal with some sparking bits seen in the water under the candlelight. The patterns at the bottom of the bowl were evidently seen and without any impurities.

Veronica tilted her head and stared intently at the two bowls from a distance, but nothing happened at all. At that point, her brows were tightly knitted. “What the heck. This is so strange! 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?”
