The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 753
Mount Dragon Treasure Mountain, Fortune River.
James sat on a rock with his phone in hand, analyzing what happened in the three months before the Cadens’ villa was set
ablaze ten years ago.
Quincy saw beside him and asked, “What are you looking at, James?”
Thea’s curiosity was also piqued.
Last night, she concluded that she did not want to lose James to Quincy. Therefore, she went to look for them and coincidentally
joined their trip. Until now, she still had no idea what James’ plan was.
James put his phone down and looked at the mountain across the river, explaining, “I’m looking at the weather reports back then.
I’m trying to deduce the river’s depth by analyzing if there was any heavy rain that year.” Quincy frowned and asked, “Why do
you need to know the water levels?” James explained, “Back then, 1 jumped into the river and held onto a log, floating along the
current. That’s how I survived. I didn’t sink to the bottom of the river, so I definitely drifted to the underground cavern along the
river’s current. Determining the water levels would allow me to have a rough gauge of the cavern’s location.”
Thea could not help but ask, “Honey, are you looking for an underground cavern? Why are you looking for it? You can ask me if
that’s what you’re trying to figure out. I used to play along the Fortune River frequently.”
James turned to Thea and asked doubtfully, “You’re familiar with such things?”
Thea fell into thought.
She racked her mind and said, “I remember there was a severe drought that year. It hadn’t rained for several months, and the
water levels were relatively shallow. I was catching crabs by the river with a few classmates.”
James asked, “Are you sure?”
“Yeah.” Thea nodded.
The memories from ten years ago tormented her for a long time, so much that it was impossible for her to forget.
James looked at the gushing river in front of him and fell into deep thought. After a while, he reached a conclusion,

If there was a severe drought ten years ago, the water levels then would be incredibly shallow, al about ten to twenty meters
deep.
He sat on the rock absent -inindedly. The virus carried by the Gu in his body had already affected his brain and nervous system.
It was difficult for him to think for an extended period. Otherwise, he would suffer from unbearable headaches,
Soon, the soldiers that had gone looking for residents returned. “We’ve obtained information about several underground caverns
under that mountain opposite from us. They extend in all directions and are interconnected.”
“A few villagers also mentioned another cavern on the opposite riverbank, but it had already been flooded with water.”
“Yeah. I heard about that one too. It’s around that area.” The soldiers reported the information they gathered one by one.
“Alright.”
James nodded after listening to them. He pointed to the mountain opposite them and instructed, “Head to that cliff and dive ten
to twenty meters underwater. After finding the underground cavern, go inside and check if there’s a statue.”
James remembered that the cavern where he found the medical book extended in various directions. He wandered for a very
long time and found a statue. Near the statue, he found the medical book
One of the soldiers asked, “What kind of statue?” James harked back to the past. When he entered the cavern, it was pitch
black, and he could not see his surroundings. The statue seemed to be of a human being or some sort of monster. Perhaps it
was not a statue at all but simply a boulder.
“I’m not sure if it’s a statue. It might’ve been a human, a monster, or just a boulder. In short, it’s about ten meters tall, and its
surroundings are completely flat. You’ll know it’s the right place once you find it.”
Daniel ordered, “Why are you all still here? Get moving!” “Yes, sir!” The soldiers nodded.
They quickly put on their wetsuits and jumped into the river.
The current was fast, and the waves were huge, making it difficult to swim in the river. However, they were soldiers trained in the
special forces, and it was not a big deal to them.
Most of the soldiers from the team jumped into the river, whereas a few stood nearby on guard.
The breeze near the river was cold, and a chill blew toward James, causing his whole body to shiver.

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling cold?” Quincy, who was beside him, asked with concern. James nodded, “Yeah, a little.” Quincy
suggested, “The autumn winds are chilly. Let’s head inside the tents to rest. I’ll ask them to pick up some dry wood and build a
fire.”
After saying that, she stood up to support James
