Chapter 111
Oliver pondered momentarily before saying, “I don’t know if I found it. When I went inside, I only found
a piece of jade. It contained a scripture called Book of Immortality.”
Oliver didn’t intend to hide anything from Gunther, so he told the truth. But unexpectedly, as soon as he
spoke, his words transformed into something else. “I didn’t find anything. There’s nothing here…”
Oliver was taken aback. He tried hard to say “Book of Immortality,” but he couldn’t. Either he became
mute, or the words turned into something completely unrelated. Any mention of the Book of Immortality
would turn into something else.
“What is going on?” Oliver wondered.
Gunther immediately became disappointed, and his already dim eyes became even more lifeless.
Hailey, with teary eyes, called out, “Dad, Dad…”
Although her father was strict, to her, he

best person in the world.
Although this man had been extremely good to her, he had become someone
to leave this world, and the man she liked didn’t belong to her. Who could she rely
Oliver couldn’t bear it in his heart. He turned his head and grabbed Wayne’s backpack, finding a pen
and a small notebook inside. He opened it and started writing.
He intended to write down everything about his experience inside the stone door and show it to
Gunther, regardless of whether it would be helpful or not. He wanted to reveal the truth.
But shockingly, although Oliver was thinking about Book of Immortality, what he wrote with the pen had
nothing to do with it. The words “spiritual jade” and “Book of Immortality” just wouldn’t come out.
Oliver was trembling with surprise. He wondered, “What is happening? Could it be that the Book of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtImmortality was indeed a precious treasure?”
In some fantasy s, certain powers and techniques were confidential. Such was the power of
techniques in the realm of cultivation.
He wrote for a while, but the only words in the notebook were: [I didn’t find anything.]
Gunther’s eyes grew even dimmer and sadder. He coughed up blood. Then his trembling hand held
onto Hailey’s, reluctant to let go. He struggled to say, “Hailey, you must t-take care…”
After he spoke the words “take care,” his voice became inaudible, and the faint glimmer in his eyes
faded away.
Hailey, trembling and terrified, cried out, “Dad… Dad! Dad…”
There was no response from Gunther.
Gabriel came over and touched Gunther’s nose with his hand. After a while, he said mournfully, “Hailey,
your father… Your father is gone.”
Louis and Yoseph hurriedly came over to check, and after a few minutes, they looked desolate and told
Hailey, “Miss, Mr. Fox is…”
Hailey held onto her father, unable to believe what she was hearing. “I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it.
My dad is fine! I don’t believe it!”
Gabriel wiped his tearful eyes and said softly, “Human strength is ultimately no match for fate, and
immortality is but a fleeting legend…
Oliver watched Hailey, who seemed lost in despair. He felt an unexplained pain in his heart and wanted
to comfort her, but he couldn’t find the right words. No matter how he wished to console her, her father
was gone.
The pain of losing a loved one was something that nobody wanted to experience.
Suddenly, Hailey coughed up blood and collapsed.
Oliver quickly caught her and looked down. Hailey had fainted.
Gabriel checked her pulse and complexion. Relieved, he said, “Fortunately, Hailey is just overwhelmed
by grief.”
“I’ll carry her.” Without hesitation, Oliver lifted her onto his back and instructed Wayne, “Head in this
direction. We’re going down.”
Wayne and Simon complied immediately, but Louis and Yoseph frowned and said to Oliver, “Mr.
Eastwood, we came here to find treasure. Since we’ve come this far and invested so much effort,
shouldn’t we make one final push to find the precious
Oliver replied calmly, “There is no treasure. This is a trap.”
Since he couldn’t speak about the spiritual jade and Book of Immortality, he had no intention of
explaining further. Besides, he didn’t want to reveal any more information to Louis and Yoseph.
Louis clearly didn’t believe him and snorted, “Who goes to the treasury and returns empty-handed?
Let’s keep searching. We’ve taken such risks, and Mr. Fox even lost his life here. We should at least
bring back a few treasures to live a comfortable life.”
Ignoring them, Oliver coldly stated, “If you want to keep searching, go ahead. We won’t accompany
you. Wayne, Sim, let’s go!”
“Okay.”
Unlike Louis and Yoseph, Wayne and Simon would unquestioningly follow Oliver’s orders. They didn’t
hesitate or show any reluctance. They simply turned and walked away.
Oliver carried Hailey on his back and called out to Sienna.
Surprisingly, Sienna didn’t show any annoyance this time. She silently followed Oliver.
Gabriel glanced at Gunther one last time with a sorrowful expression on his face. He made a farewell
gesture with his hand and said, “Gunt, consider this place your tomb. I hope your dreams come true in
another world. Farewell!”
Gabriel had no intention of seeking treasure and getting rich. Without hesitation, he followed Oliver.
Louis and Yoseph stood dumbfounded, looking at the departing group who abandoned them without
hesitation. They exchanged glances and then reluctantly followed Oliver’s figure.
If it weren’t for Oliver, they probably wouldn’t be able to escape.
Not to mention that there was no sign of the treasure, even if it was right in front of them, Louis and
Yoseph wouldn’t dare to linger. They had spent enough time in this strange place and had already
experienced the despair of Enchanting Tunnel below. If it weren’t for Oliver finding them and leading
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthem out of the maze, they would have surely perished in that
passage.
They had no intention of attempting Enchanting Tunnel again. To leave, they would have to pass
through the same Enchanting Tunnel. Therefore, they had no choice but to follow Oliver closely.
Unfortunately, Oliver was a stubborn individual who didn’t conform to their desires. He wasn’t greedy,
either. Although he was the only one who truly understood and was familiar with this mysterious and
peculiar place, he showed no interest or desire.
As Louis and Yoseph followed behind, they lamented. Returning empty-handed from the treasury was
truly an unprofitable
venture!
Then, both of them glanced at the luminous pearls hanging above their heads, silently nodding in
agreement.
They didn’t dare to entertain thoughts of taking the luminous pearls halfway, but once they reached the
entrance at the bottom, they would dig out a few to take with them.
At the entrance, they wouldn’t have to worry about getting trapped. Once they left this passageway in
Mount Rockenan, they would be familiar with the route outside as they had passed through it with
Oliver before. They knew the exit of the Alpar River and weren’t concerned.
However, they still had to stick with Oliver’s group. Although they knew how to cross the Alpar River,
they had no way to navigate through Enchanting Fog beyond it.
Oliver carried Hailey all the way down, passing through Enchanting Tunnel and emerging from it.
Reaching the stone walls outside Mount Rockenan, he carefully placed Hailey on the ground,
Sienna squatted down to support Hailey and checked her pulse and complexion once more.
Oliver gestured to Wayne and Simon and instructed, “Rest for a while, then make a fire and cook. We’ll
set off after we’ve
eaten.”
Although they had exited Mount Rockenan’s passageway, it was still unsafe outside. The mutant
beasts that had nearly taken their lives were still present, but Eye Sculpture that could save them was
now gone.
Oliver glanced once more at the entrance of Mount Rockenan where Eye Sculpture was, but now there
was nothing there. If they encountered those life-threatening creatures without Eye Sculpture, how
would they cope?
