The Luckiest Dumb Doctor

Chapter 408: Chapter 408: Bronze Gate_1

Whoosh!

A golden Sword Qi whizzed by in front of Asher Green. If it weren’t for Julia Hall’s early warning and pulling him aside, his life might have been lost right there and then.

Asher Green was scared into a cold sweat; had he taken one more step forward just now, that Sword Qi would have likely slit his throat.

“That was close!”

Asher Green wiped off the cold sweat, still feeling the aftershock.

Julia Hall stammered, “Asher, should we still follow them?”

“No… let’s not follow them anymore, let’s just go back to the hotel and wait.”

“Okay, let’s hurry.”

Julia Hall couldn’t wait and started running back in the direction they came from.

Asher Green also hurried back, but he hadn’t gone far when he suddenly stopped in his tracks, exclaiming, “I remember now, I remember now!”

“Asher, what did you remember?”

“Barry Wolfe, he’s Barry Wolfe!”

Julia Hall looked confused, “I know he’s Barry Wolfe, didn’t he say so this morning?”

Asher Green’s face was filled with urgency as he shook his head, “No, it’s the Barry Wolfe I’m talking about, the Casanova Magician Barry Wolfe!”

Boom!

Julia Hall felt her head buzz, and she was instantly stunned, her mind going blank.

Both he and Asher Green were from Qin province, and they had heard plenty about the Casanova Magician lately. All the major families were warning their own children to run as far as possible upon encountering the Casanova Magician.

Even if they couldn’t escape, they should be extremely respectful and must never offend him.

He truly dares to kill!

He dares to kill even the people from Healington, let alone scions like them?

“Damn it, we need to go fast!”

Finally regaining his senses, Julia Hall urged, “Asher, we have to go quickly.”

“Let’s go, let’s go…”

At this point, Asher Green didn’t care about Samantha Adams anymore, and together with Julia Hall, they scrambled down the mountain.

Lauren Barnett watched Greg Jensen leave, daydreaming with a lovesick look on her face.

So he was the Casanova Magician!

He really was handsome!

Just like they said, he acted with authority and decisiveness.

Such a man was too charismatic.

“Lauren Barnett, are you still not leaving? We’ll go without you if you don’t.”

“Ah, yeah, let’s go, I’m coming…”

…

After separating from Asher Green and the others, Greg Jensen and Samantha Adams, led by Johnie Milton, continued walking into the mountain for about another hour until they arrived at a small valley.

The valley was filled with the sounds of birds and fragrant flowers, with a pleasant scenery and a small river flowing nearby.

They arrived at the depths of the valley, lifted the concealing weeds, and saw a downward passageway revealed.

“You go in first!”

“Okay… okay then.”

Ever since they were on the road, Johnie Milton had already consumed three Touching Gold Charms; he now had no choice but to obey, as any disobedience would lead him straight to a dead end.

The entrance to the passageway was narrow, only allowing one person to pass through sideways. After a few steps inside, it widened enough to accommodate two people walking side by side.

The three of them, using strong flashlights, slowly made their way inside.

After walking for an indeterminate amount of time, Greg Jensen suddenly kicked something hard. Looking down, he found it to be a leg bone.

He didn’t mind it, but Samantha Adams was startled and immediately clung to his arm.

“How… how could there be a dead body here?”

Greg Jensen felt the softness transferring from his arm, his mind wavering for a moment. After collecting himself, he pulled his arm away and said:

“`

“Tomb raiding, right? Didn’t also your Holmes family ancestors die inside?”

“Eh, how do you know?”

Greg Jensen said speechlessly, “Your ancestors died in front of the inner gate, if that’s not tomb raiding, then what is it? They surely didn’t come here to go shopping.”

“Oh, you’re so annoying.”

Samantha Adams’s mood had brightened considerably after his tease and she chuckled lightly, quickening her pace to walk beside him, asking, “Then what are you here for?”

“To find treasures, to find Magic Artifacts.”

“Ah, are there Magic Artifacts here?”

Greg Jensen explained, “Andrew Holmes had such a big reputation back then; a place that caught his interest must be a grand tomb. It would be really strange if there were no Magic Artifacts.”

“That makes sense,” Samantha Adams nodded.

Just then, Johnie Milton turned around and said, “Mr. Wolfe, we also found a few Magic Artifacts in the tomb corridor before, but those Magic Artifacts have lost their spirituality and can’t fetch a good price anymore.”

“Hmm, why didn’t you go inside the inner gate at that time?” Greg Jensen asked.

Upon hearing this, Johnie Milton’s face immediately showed a hint of fear and said, “They died, all died.

The boss and the second-in-command both died, all dead right at the entrance to the inner gate. If we had dared to continue pushing the door, not one of us would have lived.”

“Was there a mechanism?”

“Yeah, a very powerful one. I’ve been doing this for over a decade and it was the first time I saw such a formidable mechanism.”

Johnie Milton spoke with lingering fear, “As soon as you push the door, arrows will shoot out, followed by sulfuric acid poison liquid.”

“Didn’t you think of other ways? For instance, blocking the poison liquid and crossbow bolts?” Samantha Adams asked.

Johnie Milton shook his head with a bitter smile, “It’s no use. If those are blocked, the tomb gate will release poisonous smoke, and there are traps.

All the mechanisms in the corridor were already disabled, but the ones in front of the inner gate are endless and unpredictable.”

“So, there’s no problem as long as you don’t push the door?” Samantha Adams asked.

“Yeah.”

“Then this tomb owner seems quite kindhearted.”

An idea struck Greg Jensen, and after a long contemplation, he suddenly sensed something was off.

Generally, if the mechanism in a tomb is triggered, confirming that tomb raiders have entered, it would employ various means to kill the intruders.

In the end, it would even use mechanisms like flowing sand to seal off the tomb.

But unlike this tomb, aside from those lethal means, there is no intent to seal it at all, presenting a completely “come-and-go-as-you-please” attitude.

What was the reasoning behind this? Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Could it be that this wasn’t a tomb, but a cave dwelling instead?

Greg Jensen’s heart grew hot with excitement, and his steps quickened noticeably.

Before long, the three of them finally made their way through the corridor and arrived in a spacious hall.

Johnie Milton, familiar with the place, went to the side, took out the kerosene he had prepared in advance, poured it into lamp bowls on either side, then lit them.

The hall suddenly became illuminated.

Startled by the light, Samantha Adams let out a sharp scream, “Ah, there are dead people!”

Greg Jensen looked up and saw that directly in front of the great hall was a Bronze Gate, no more than three meters high and about four meters wide.

In front of the Bronze Gate were several skeletons.

The area next to it was spick and span, the belongings of the skeletons had already been taken by Johnie Milton on his last visit.

Johnie Milton pointed at a skeleton and said, “Aren’t you looking for your Holmes family ancestor? I guess this one is him, we found that Touching Gold Charm on him.”

Samantha Adams walked up in a daze, looked at the skeleton, respectfully kowtowed, and then took out a large leather bag to collect the skeleton’s bones.

Meanwhile, Greg Jensen, accompanied by Johnie Milton, approached the Bronze Gate and extended his hand to give it a push.

The Bronze Gate was not as heavy as he had imagined; it moved slightly with a light push, and it seemed like it could be easily opened with more force.

“Mr. Wolfe, don’t mess around…”

Johnie Milton was taken aback by his action and quickly retreated to a safe spot.

Greg Jensen paid no attention to him, instead, he began to ponder how to open the Bronze Gate without getting hurt.
