Instantly, blood started flowing from the Undead Corpse King’s seven orifices. He suddenly opened his


    eyes as his hair regrew rapidly at a pace visible to the naked eye.


    Nash was thoroughly shocked. “Quick, find a way to leave this ce!”


    He raised the Heavenly Sword and rushed toward the Undead Corpse King. While the main chamber


    of the King of Medicine’s tomb was within reach, their lives were more important than whatever


    resources could be inside it. In a situation like this where the power difference was too great, they had


    no choice but to abandon the treasure.

    At this moment, Heidi called out, “Nash, can you hold on for three minutes? I think I’ve figured out the


    puzzle behind the 18 Rings of Doom!”


    Nash responded firmly, “Two minutes! We must leave within two minutes!”


    The Undead Corpse King had alreadyunched an attack against Nash. He swung the Heavenly


    Sword while grabbing a piece of talisman paper to confront the creature.


    The Undead Corpse King was incredibly powerful, and his resistance to weapons was remarkable,


    making it difficult to harm him. Nash could only dodge while using the talisman paper to attack from a


    distance. The talisman paper burned and transformed into various attacks thatnded on the Undead


    Corpse King.


    Not wanting to waste any time, Heidi stepped onto the outermost tile, which had the character for


    ‘person’ on it.


    Based on her research with Anders, Bradley, and Nash, she discovered that Leopole had greatly


    admired a figureter known as the King of Medicine of the Teal Dynasty, Sris. That person had a


    famous 16-word maxim that roughly tranted to:


    “The value of a human life is immeasurable, worth more than a thousand pieces of gold. When one


    provides assistance, their virtue surpasses even this.”


    Each of the maxim’s 16 words appeared in sequence within the 180 ancient Somerese characters in


    each circle. Thest two characters were likely either characters equivalent to Leopole or something


    else.


    Melody and Finn stood beside Heidi, ready to assist her if any mechanism was needed to be activated


    to save someone.


    Heidi was nervous. With only two minutes remaining, time was precious. Nash was buying her… this


    time with his life. She could not afford any


    mistakes.


    The moment she stepped onto the tile, the previously uneven tiles slowly became level with the ground.


    The mechanisms were still intact. Heidi was delighted. She stepped off the tile and then took a step


    toward the second circle with the character for ‘life’ on it.


    Finn and Melody followed her closely, their nerves on edge as they observed the mechanisms on either


    side.


    Reaching the second file, Heidi took a deep breath. “If this doesn’t activate the mechanism, then it


    should be broken.”


    She stepped onto the tile, and it descended, leveling with the ground. Once again, none of the


    mechanisms were triggered. Heidi looked back at Melody and Finn with joy. “I did it.


    Η


    Melody smiled faintly and said, “Hurry up and open the main chamber. Nash is in great danger.


    ??


    Heidi nodded and continued stepping on the tiles following the order of the 16 characters.


    On the other side, Xeno and his group were watching Nash and his terrifying battle with the Undead


    Corpse King.


    Xeno said, “That creature’s strength is terrifying; even Mr. Nash is being chased by it instead of the


    other way round.”


    Nico gulped. “If it weren’t for him, we would all have met our end today.”


    “Derek, you thought that Mr. Law was just trying to scare us earlier. You should go and apologize to him


    later,” Xeno added with a meaningful look.


    Derek’s lips twitched slightly. The audacity of this man to use him of it. It was just a moment ago


    that he himself had pointed a gun at Anders. If anyone should be apologizing, it should be him.


    Of course, these were just Derek’s inner thoughts. He did not dare to say them out loud.


    “Alright, Mr. Hun,” Derek forced a smile and responded. He then went back to watching Nash, who had


    been knocked back by the Undead Corpse King.


    At this moment, Nash’s face was grim and dark. His garb had been torn apart by the Undead Corpse


    King. Each of the creature’s attacks was infused with tremendous force, and Nash had overestimated


    his own strength.


    With a resounding thud, the Undead Corpse King threw another punch. Nash managed to dodge in


    time, and the punch struck the hard rock wall, leaving a hole the size of a bowl.
