Chapter 160: Underground Lab

Chapter 160: Underground Lab

Grey stood at the end of the stairs for a while thinking if he should advance further or not. The truth was, after seeing multiple skeletons, he was starting to have second thoughts about going further.

He was curious about what killed them, and also what this place was. Not just that, there was also the treasure that brought him here in the first place. He thought about everything properly before deciding to continue heading deeper.

If he didn’t check it out, he might miss out on an opportunity of a lifetime, there was also the chance of his life being in danger because of this. But he knew if he didn’t dare to take risks, then there was no way he could stand at the top someday.

Had Constantine Gale not taken the risk of spearheading the rebellion, he wouldn’t have been adored by the millions of people in the Qilin empire today. Not just Constantine Gale, he was living proof of taking risks, supposing his dad did not take the risk of putting the pearl in his body, there was no way he would have inherited such an amazing legacy.

But he also knew that reward wasn’t the only thing that came with risk, there was also danger. In fact, if one decides to calculate the rate of rewards and dangers that came with risks, then, danger would take up at least sixty-five percent of that ratio.

“Huuu.”

Breathing heavily, he walked into the tunnel.

With the fire floating ahead of him, he didn’t have an issue with seeing, he would occasionally make more fires and send it forward to see what lies ahead.

After walking further down the tunnel, he started seeing claw marks on the walls of the tunnel, huge, deep claw marks. There was one in particular that caught his attention, it was over five inches deep and three meters long when most of the others were just over one inches deep and half a meter long.

Grey placed his hand on the claw mark, slowly feeling it as he continued walking further. He continued on his journey vigilantly. If he said he wasn’t nervous, he was lying.

He walked for about twenty minutes before he got to the end of the tunnel, normally it wouldn’t take him that long to walk here given the distance from the foot of the stairs to the end of the tunnel, but since he had to remain cautious, he couldn’t rush here.

The first thing he saw when he entered the place was a table, he increased the flame so he could see the place properly.

After creating a bigger fire, he was surprised by the sight he saw. There were other tables, chairs, a book stand, cages, and multiple platforms that had numerous chains on them.

“It’s like a lab.” Grey said after seeing the place.

This was the first time he was personally seeing a lab, but he had read and heard of people who have places like these that they use mainly for studying things, especially magical beast.

When he looked around, he estimated that the place was about three hundred meters wide, and he also noticed there were four doors in the place, two were on the left, and two were on the right .

The lab was disordered with books lying all over the floor, the tables weren’t arranged with some being upside down, and the place looked like a battle took place here.

Grey picked up the book closest to him, and quickly turned the pages, stopping three seconds or so on each page. It was surprisingly a book about lizards.

He held it in his hands and walked forward, picking another book in the process. This one, contained details of snakes.

Without knowing it, Grey had unknowingly spent almost thirty minutes here, and the only thing he did was pick up the books on the floor and flip through its contents.

“It’s all about reptiles.” Grey said.

He didn’t really read them in detail, but from the drawings as well as most of the topics, he could tell they were about reptiles, all kinds of reptiles. The one he focused more on was the book about dragons.

In the library at the Lunar Academy, no book really had much about dragons. Other than myths, there wasn’t any that mentioned the types of dragons. But in this one, Grey had seen at least three types of dragons, which were Wyverns, Basilisks, and the normal Dragons he had seen in their books.

He kept the books in his storage ring, but since they were much, he didn’t keep all of them and only kept the ones he felt were more important.

After keeping the books, he started studying the place once again. He still hadn’t seen anything here, so he was less hesitant now.

He walked towards the platform and picked up the eight inches thick metal chains there.

“Could it be that dragons were studied here?” Grey muttered while holding the chains.

The thought of this place housing dragons in the past shocked him to no end, there was a time a rumor of a reported sighting of a dragon spreading in the Qilin empire, but no one was able to confirm if it was true or not.

While thinking of the possibility of dragons being here in the past, another thought came to his mind.

‘What if it’s the one who killed all those people, and it’s still here?’ He thought and hastily looked around with a grave expression appearing on his face.

This thought frightened him, just as much as it excited him. What are the chances of seeing a dragon in this place?

Thinking about dragons, he remembered Brown. Just like Dragons, Griffins were also rare legendary magical beasts.

‘What if I tame it?’ Grey thought and a grin unconsciously appeared on his face.

Void looked at him weirdly, amazed by the multiple expressions he had on his face.

‘Are you okay?’ He asked.

One moment Grey was tense, the next, he was smiling like a moron.

Void’s question brought Grey out of his bewildered state.

“Huh! Yes, yes.” Grey nodded before dropping the chains.

Clang!

The sound of the metal chains landing on the ground echoed in the whole lab.

Somewhere deeper inside the lab.

Unknown to Grey, the metallic sound continued ringing deeper underground to a place he didn’t know existed here, and the closed eyes of a sleeping creature opened.

Growl…

A low growl escaped the creature’s mouth.
