Thea was stunned.
James came to the cavern to find a way to detoxify the venom?
‘He’s doing this all for me?’
She suddenly felt that she did not understand James at all.
James had been doing so much for her and was even worrying about the venom in her body.
Meanwhile, she was only causing him trouble. “I…”
She parted her lips but was unable to utter a word. Quincy ignored her and walked back into the tent.
James’ eyes were shut, and he had already drifted into sleep. Even asleep, his face looked pale and
weak. Quincy felt helpless and sighed upon seeing the condition he was in. James slept for a very long
time and was woken up by pain. This time, it was not just a simple headache. Instead, he felt an
excruciating pain throughout his entire body.
It felt as if countless poisonous worms were biting on his flesh, drinking his blood, burrowing into his
bones, and trying to tear his body apart.
He was a soldier who had been through hundreds of battles and suffered all kinds of injuries, but the
pain was unbearable to him. He hugged his knees and rolled around, groaning in pain.
“Argh!!!”
James’ screams immediately caught the attention of the people outside.
Quincy and Thea quickly rushed into the tent. Seeing James painfully rolling on the ground in a fetal
position, both of them turned pale. Quincy squatted down quickly, held James’ hand, and called out to
him, “James, are you okay?”
Thea was stunned and did not know what to do.
Daniel followed them into the tent and was upset to see James in pain. He was a great hero that
served the country and its people. In the end, destiny was not kind to him. His downfall was a tragedy
for their nation.
Soon, the pain subsided.
A few minutes later, all the pain was gone.
With Quincy’s help, he weakly got up from the ground and sat up. Quincy wiped the sweat on his face
with her sleeve.
“I’m alright.” James smiled at Quincy. He stood up with all his strength but was overwhelmed with
dizziness. Quincy quickly stood up, supported him, and said, “Your body is weak. You should lie down
and rest.”
James uttered weakly, “It’s uncomfortable lying down for so long. I want to go out for a walk.”
Quincy reluctantly helped him out of the tent.
The soldiers had already started a fire.
Beside it was a few benches to sit on.
James sat on the bench near the fire. However, it was uncomfortable for him as there was nothing to
lean on. He turned to Quincy and requested, “Help me get the wheelchair from the car.”
“Alright.” Quincy nodded. Daniel promptly stopped her. “You should stay.” After saying that, he waved
his hand to a soldier patrolling nearby and shouted, “Go get the wheelchair from the car.”
Receiving the order, the soldier quickly headed to retrieve the wheelchair. Soon, the wheelchair was
brought to them.
James sat in the wheelchair and leaned back. Only then did he feel more comfortable.
He took his phone out and looked at it.
He had slept till noon. He turned to Daniel and asked, “Have the soldiers that dived into the water
returned?”
Daniel shook his head. “Not yet. They must’ve found the cave but have yet to spot the statue you
mentioned.”
James nodded gently. He did not have high hopes either. It was a coincidence that he stumbled upon
the cavern. Whether it had what he needed was also unknown.
However, as long as there was a chance, he had to at least try.
He already had a plan. If he could not find what he needed here, he would have to go back to the
Cadens and ask them for the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge and find a way to unravel the secrets
within the painting.
An Internal Martial Arts cultivation method must be hidden within it.
Feeling cold, he reached his hands out to the fire. Quincy asked, “Are you hungry, James? I’ll go and
get you something to eat.” “Yeah.” James nodded. He was indeed a little hungry. Quincy immediately
got up and went to the car to get some food.
She had prepared a lot of food prior to their departure.
After James finished eating, the soldiers that had headed out returned.
Daniel asked, “What’s the situation?” A soldier replied, “General, there was indeed an underground
cavern down there. It’s incredibly deep and extends in many directions. However, we couldn’t find the
statue James mentioned. Some of the other guys are still looking around in the cavern.
