The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 761
Meanwhile, James had already arrived at the underground cavern.
He finally got on land, but because of the wetsuit, he could not walk properly, so he took it off.
“It’s over there, James.” A soldier pointed ahead of them.
“Alright.”
James nodded and said, “Lead the way.”
“Honey, I’m here. The cave is damp, and there’s a lot of moss. Watch your steps,” Thea supported James and reminded him.
James slowly advanced with the help of Thea in the direction of the soldiers.
The underground cavern extended in multiple directions. Fortunately, he had sent people to search the place in advance.
Otherwise, it would have taken him a few days and nights.
“We’re here.”
The soldiers pointed to a location in front.
They shone their light ahead of them.
James saw the open space in front of him, and in the center was a stone boulder that was ten meters high. The light illuminated
the place, revealing the dragon head statue in front of him.
The air in the underground cavern was probably humid all year round, causing the statue to be slightly unidentifiable. Still, after
careful inspection, it could be recognized as a dragon head.
“T-This is it!” James exclaimed.
He recognized the place.
Back then, he had drifted into this cavern and found a medical book with the Crucifier within the crevices of the dragon head
statue.

However, it was incredibly dark. He did not have enough time to look around the place and left in a hurry.
James instructed, “Check to see if there’s anything, especially around the statue.”
“Yes, sir.”
The soldiers took out their flashlights, walked close to the statue, and searched the surrounding areas.
Some of them even climbed onto the statue to search.
James quietly stood aside.
As time passed, the disappointment in his heart grew stronger.
He knew that finding what he needed was highly unlikely.
“James, we couldn’t find anything.”
A voice sounded and echoed throughout the cavern.
“We’ve checked everywhere.” Hearing their reports, James’ face was filled with disappointment. He walked over to the statue,
held up a flashlight, and shone it onto the dragon’s head to observe it. Suddenly, he knelt on the ground and bowed. This was
where he obtained the medical book that changed his fate over the past ten years. Although he returned with nothing to offer to
it, he wanted to express his gratitude.
After bowing, he stood up and said softly, “Let’s go. We should head back now.”
Since he could not find what he wanted here, he could only put his hopes on the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge.
He had to find a chance to return to the Cadens and retrieve the painting. Even if he could not get it back, it should be fine to
borrow it for a while to observe. Boom!
A loud noise broke out as soon as he turned around.
Immediately after, the ground began to shake as if an earthquake had struck. “What’s happening?” The soldiers were shocked
and quickly stepped back. James turned around and looked at the dragon head statue. Under his gaze, the massive statue
began to collapse into countless pieces of rocks to the ground. James frowned.

‘It was fine just moments ago. Why did it suddenly collapse?’ James thought. The sudden occurrence was incredibly abnormal.
He advocated science and was not superstitious, but he had countless unexplainable encounters with science, including the
Crucifier, which did not conform to modern science.
“What happened?”
“Why did it suddenly collapse?”
“That’s so strange. This place seems cursed. We should get out of here soon.”
