Chapter 756 Disappointment spread across James’ face. Quincy held his hand and comforted him. “Don’t worry.
We’ll find it.” “I hope so.” James nodded lightly. He knew the chances of finding it were slim. Even if they found it,
what he was looking for might not be inside.
He continued to wait patiently for updates.
Soon, it was evening. The soldiers that had stayed back to search the cavern returned.
They had scouted for an extended period but could not find any statue or boulder more than ten meters high.
The campfire continued to burn at the riverbank.
Daniel asked, “What should we do now, James?”
James fell into thought.
Even dozens of trained soldiers could not find the statue after a whole day’s search. It was unlikely for them to find
it at this point.
There were only two possibilities-the statue or stone had collapsed after ten years, or they were looking in the

James took out the map and analyzed it again.
He observed the map, looked at the river before him, and then gazed at the mountain. The mountain was massive,
and the river flowed downstream off the cliff.
After pondering for a while, James said, “Let’s rest for today. Tomorrow, get everyone to continue searching
downstream to see if there are other entrances to the cavern.”
James was not giving up just yet.
This was his only chance to survive. Moreover, Thea’s life was also on the line.
Giving up would mean waiting for death.
His condition would deteriorate daily until his whole body was paralyzed, rendering him bedridden.
It would be a tragedy for a War God to end in such a miserable way. He could not go down like this. Even if he were
to die, it had to be on the battlefield. Daniel instructed the soldiers, “Take turns to keep watch tonight. We’ll continue
the search tomorrow.” “Yes, sir!”
The soldiers answered in unison. As the sun went down, their surroundings gradually darkened, and the stars lit up
the sky. A few more campfires were started at the riverbank. Soldiers gathered around the fires and chatted
cheerfully.
Meanwhile, James sat in his wheelchair by a campfire.
He held onto a map and carefully analyzed it. “James, you’ve been looking at it for quite some time. Take a break,”
Quincy said, concerned. Thea walked over to them with some warm water. She opened the bottle and brought it to
James’ lips, saying softly, “Honey, have some warm water. It’ll keep you warm.”
James was thirsty, so he put the map down and took a sip.
Concurrently, in the Capital…
In the Emperor’s Mansion.
Sitting on the sofa was the Emperor.
In front of him stood a middle-aged man.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Commander, there’s been some news from Cansington. According to the reports, James took dozens of soldiers to
Mount Dragon Treasure in search of an underground cavern.” “An underground cavern?” The Emperor was stunned
and asked, “Why is he looking for it?”
The man explained, “A soldier accompanying him overheard James’ conversation with his companions. Apparently,
James jumped into a river ten years ago and drifted into an underground cavern. That’s where he got his medical
skills from. It seems he’s looking for something inside the cavern. As for what, we’ve yet to find out.”
James had borrowed dozens of people from the Blithe King.
However, these people did not sign a non-disclosure agreement.
Some of them overheard the conversation between James, Quincy, and Thea.
Therefore, it was not difficult for the Emperor’s men to find out James’ whereabouts.
After hearing the report, he waved his hand and said, “Alright, you’re dismissed.”
“Understood.”
The middle-aged man stepped back. The Emperor fell into thought.
“What is he looking for?” After thinking for a while, he took out his phone and made a call. “Stay still for now. Keep
following him and pay attention to his every move. Find out what he’s looking for and take it.”
“Understood.”
A hoarse voice sounded from the other side of the phone.
