Chapter 176: Chapter 175: It’s a Trap

Victor squinted his eyes and looked around carefully after entering the cold lake water. Although the darkness was surrounding everywhere around him, he could see dimly due to his powers as a player. This was not a good place to use a flashlight.

Looking up, he could see the water falling from above and hitting the lake, creating a strange mist that flowed with the wind...

He had to confess. This brothel had a very good location… He only entered it only once in his past life. To deliver some pizza… 

Now is not the time for memories, He dived underwater and began to head somewhere specific, toward the waterfall… behind it.

Any normal human would have been dead after withstanding the falling water’s pressure and debris, he would have been swept away and crashed on one of the rocks that rose from the lake's floor, like the teeth of some vicious monster… No real monster existed, he checked that thoroughly. It was just a natural phenomenon.

Swimming in a way that would render any Olympic swimmer speechless, Victor reached the bottom of the waterfall 15 minutes later. Looking up he could see a normal concave rockface…

He took a breath and began to climb upward using a climbing ax, his only light was a dim flashlight minted on his head… This place was too dark, even for him on this moonless night.

10 minutes later, he reached the place he was looking for, a small cave entrance. It was so small that no one could notice it from the ground… On top of that it was so small he would have to bend in an unnatural way to enter… He found it at last.

Taking a deep breath, and adjusting the dagger in his hand, then crawled inside. Hoping that it was not empty.

Victor didn’t know exactly what he was looking for, but his hunch was telling him this place had something.

Places with strange phenomena like this one always held an otherworldly secret… Like the Misty mountain in which he found the goblin dungeon.

In his past life, After becoming a full player, after the reckoning, he came here wanting to take revenge on his mother’s family… They were all dead. This place was ravaged after a dark dragon liked this place and decided to make it its nest.

The dragon was killed, but the land never recovered after that.

Back then, he was sitting atop the half-collapsed waterfall, when he noticed the strangeness in this place, having nothing better to do he decided to explore it, and that is when he found it. 

There was a cavern behind the waterfall… Behind it, was a cavern that had a unique shape, with a stone pedestal in the center… It was empty. As if someone, not only took the treasure but also crushed the room's walls and floor for some reason… Even the gateway was damaged. Victor only discovered it back then due to the destruction left by the dragon hunting team.

Crawling inside while trying hard not to break the gateway, he reached the chamber inside… It was different than he remembered, a lot different.

The floor was covered with dead animals' bones and some strange sparkly material…The walls had an amazing colorful sheen as if they were covered with glass, and in the center, a colorful pearl was placed… Victor knew exactly what it was. A treasure that Immortals would battle for.
