Chapter 457 

Over ten years?exclaimed Marina

Marina’s expression flickered upon hearing this

Chapter 457 

She stared at the sealed entrance and spoke the words slowly

I initially wanted to contact my mom and ask if she knew anything about this. But she still doesn’t know which tomb she’s in, and there’s no signal out here.” 

It’s okay. Simon shook his head. “I think your mom probably doesn’t know it either. Otherwise, why wouldn’t she have mentioned it in the information she gave us before?” 

Marina furrowed her brows, thining over Simon’s words

And she decided Simon had a valid point

Her mother had already provided her with all the information about the key

It wouldn’t make sense for her to keep this one a secret

While that may be true, I still wonder if my mom didn’t directly tell my mom about it, but instead left some hidden clues. for her, Marina contemplated

She had already thought about the possibility mentioned by Simon

However, she had her own concerns

Alright.Simon agreed. You keep trying to reach her.” 

Now, what’s the plan? Should we continue going down?Gavin looked at the sealed entrance, seeking guidance from Simon and Marina 

For a tomb that has been sealed for many years, we don’t know what dangers may lurk inside. It would be reckless to venture further.” 

Marina replied, Let’s head back for now and prepare to return tomorrow morning.” 

Simon didn’t object

The group turned around and made their way back

The three of them didn’t return until the next day

To avoid causing panic among the locals, they had informed the village chief in advance

They even offered some funds, posing as an exploration team eager to see what lay inside

The villagers were friendly and accommodating, especially after Gavin slipped them some cash. The village chief happily. granted them permission

After making the necessary arrangements, the trio descended into the tomb

For the sake of safety, only Simon and Marina were allowed to enter

Gavin stayed upside to provide support

The passage was deep

And it was very narrow

Only one person could pass through at a time

Simon led the way, with both Marina and himself tethered by ropes to ensure they wouldn’t get separated in case of an emergency

They walked along the tomb passage for about ten minutes

Finally, the surroundings opened up

During the previous excavation, a research team had visited and surveyed the tombs

Some of the tomb clusters had been marked

However, no one had set foot here in years

And a thick layer of dust covered everything

The entire tomb wasn’t particularly large, and they could take in the sight at a glance

Inside the tomb, numerous pits were visible

Chapter 457 

It was very likely that they were the resting places of those buried here

However, for safety reasons, the tombs had been relocated elsewhere

Consequently, the tomb now stood empty and desolate

One could almost see it all at a glance

But Marina carefully inspected every nook and cranny, using her flashlight to illuminate each area

They spent over two hours inside

However,they found nothing of significance

In the end, due to the dwindling oxygen supply, they had no choice but to retreat. Gavin, who remained outside, pulled both Marina and Simon out of the tomb

Did you find anything?he asked

Marina shook her head

Could it be that the clue that Madam left did not refer to this place?Gavin asked curiously

I’m not too sure, but it’s very dark inside. We don’t have enough oxygen to continue probing there

I think we should come back here tomorrow. I have a feeling that the South Mountain Tomb mentioned on the handkerchief is here,Marina said based on her intuition

Alright, we’ll come again tomorrow.Simon had always been very inclined to listen to Marina’s suggestions in this aspect. Marina nodded her head and returned to her room

A while later, as Marina had just finished her shower and came out, the phone on the table rang

Marina glanced at the caller ID and found that it was her mother

She immediately went up to the street to answer the call

Mom, finally, there’s a signal on your end.Marina’s tone carried a hint of urgency. I just came up from the tomb,” she added

Why are you looking for me?Mary’s voice still sounded a little intermittent

It could be seen that the signal on her end was really bad

I want to know something about the South Mountain Tomb.Marina did not beat around the bush but asked straightforwardly

South Mountain Tomb? Why are you suddenly asking this?Mary’s voice was tinged with a flicker of confusion

It’s about the Akister TreasureMarina did not hide anything from her mother

She explained all about it to her mother

On the other end of the line, Mary stayed silent for a long time before speaking

Are you sure this clue was left by Simon’s mother?” 

I’m sure. She must have personally embroidered it for him, and such thing could only be left by his mother,” Marina replied in a confirming manner

Are you currently at the South Mountain Tomb?Mary asked. Yes,” Marina confirmed

I’ll come as soon as possible,Mary said before abruptly ending the call

Marina could even stop her from doing so

She could only helplessly stare at her phone, which had returned to the home screen

What’s wrong?Simon asked

My mom said she’s coming. Marina looked up

ComingSimon was surprised

Yes, and she sounded quite urgent, Marina couldn’t understand why

Well, if your mom says she’s coming, then we’ll wait,” Simon replied calmly

Okay.Marina agreed

Regardless of many doubts harboured by her, she could ask her mom directly when she arrived

Mary was very efficient in her task

Chapter 457 

She called Marina the next afternoon, saying she had arrived in the town of South Mountain

Marina and Simon immediately went to pick her up

Accompanying Mary was Marina’s father, Sam

Marina wasn’t surprised at all

After all, she knew her dad always stuck by her mom’s side, no matter where they went

Let’s go to the place where you’re staying first,” Mary suggested. As always, she appeared energetic and decisive

Sure!Marina didn’t hesitate and led them back to the guesthouse where they were currently staying

Although the environment there wasn’t as good as they expected, Sam and Mary didn’t mind at all

After all, they had slept in the wild during their field expeditions

Therefore, to them, having a roof over their heads was already satisfying enough

Tell me all the clues you currently have in detail, and did you bring the square handkerchief?Mary asked sternly as soon as they entered the room
