The Almighty Dragon General Chapter 769

After James paid his respects to the soldiers that had fallen in battle, he returned to the military
hospital.

James was wracked with guilt over the dozens of lives that had sacrificed themselves for him. He was
determined to continue to live life to the fullest in honor of the men that had perished. After everything
had happened, it also further strengthened his resolve to devote his body to his homeland.

Inside the military hospital…

James took out the chest he found in the underground cavern from the cabinet.

The outer surface was black and had mysterious patterns carved on it.

The chest was sealed but it lacked a keyhole. Only under careful inspection would one notice. the
numerous tiny pinholes dotted all over it.

James had discovered it in the cavern but did not get a chance to take a closer look due to the
appearance of the mercenaries.

As he stared at the black chest, the Blithe King asked, “What’s this thing that you went through so
much trouble to find?”

James shook his head. “I’m not sure either. I’ll have to open it to find out.”

The Blithe King said, “When you were unconscious, I tried to inspect it but couldn’t get it to open.”

Suddenly, a wire slid out of James’ sleeve.

James held onto the wire, and it immediately fell apart into numerous tiny silver needles.



He picked up one of the needles and gently inserted it into one of the pinholes on the chest.

The size was just right and the needle fit completely into the hole.

James picked up the rest of the needles and slowly inserted them into the pinholes, one after another.

The Crucifier had the exact amount of needles needed to fill all the holes on the chest.

Finally, James inserted the last needle.

Click!

The chest popped open. Inside the chest was a thick book.

The Blithe King and Quincy could not hide their curiosity as they peered together at the book’s

contents.

It was a yellowed book, and its cover had several ancient words etched on it.

It was an ancient language from thousands of years ago. These words were indecipherable to anyone
who had not learned the language before.

Fortunately, James knew how to read it.

Medical Book Volume Two.

When he read the words on the cover, James’ heart began pounding in excitement.

“Medical Book Volume Two?” His voice trembled.

Back then, he acquired the medical book that recorded countless forgotten medical techniques that
were lost to time.



However, the first medical book mainly focused on the human body’s ability to heal itself. Never did he
expect there to be a second volume of the same medical book.

He picked up the book and quickly slipped to the first page. James carefully scanned the densely
packed words on the page.

Everything was written in ancient text. Although he learned the language from his grandfather when he
was a child, reading dense blocks filled with specialized medical terms was a whole new ball game. If
he had trouble reading it, then understanding it would be another monumental task.

The Blithe King glanced at it and found that he could not make heads or tails of it. Opting to conserve
his energy for things he could do, he sat aside. He would wait for James to finish going through it.

Quincy was also as curious.

“Is this an Internal Martial Arts cultivation method?”

After reading the whole page, James took a deep breath.

Quincy could not help but pry. “What is it, James? Is this what you were looking for?” James lightly
shook his head. “No.”

“Huh?”

Quincy jumped up and exclaimed loudly, “We went through so much trouble to get this stupid thing. So
many people died for it, but it isn’t what you were looking for?” A smile crept onto James’ face.
Something that had not been seen on his long, pale face in quite some time. “It’s better than what I
actually needed.”

“What?” Quincy was confused.



The Blithe King huffed in mild irritation, “Alright, stop beating around the bush. What exactly did you
find?”

Taking a deep breath, James slowly started to explain, “Ten years ago, I discovered that cavern by
chance and obtained the first volume of this medical book along with the Crucifer. The book was
instrumental to developing my medical skills.”

James closed the chest and placed it on the table.

The moment it shut, all the silver needles inserted in it immediately popped out.

Then, James picked a single needle up at random.

As soon as he raised it, the other silver needles flew toward it and connected to each other to form a
small wire.

“This is the Crucifier. I never knew the function of these silver needles and previously only used them
as a weapon to kill. As it turns out, I’ve actually not been utilizing its full potential.”
