The Almighty Dragon General Novel

Chapter 979 Mount White.

Blake had hidden his treasure in a location surrounded by steep mountains and dense forests.

There was no flat ground for helicopters to land.

Thus, the helicopters had to land slightly far away from the exact location.

The forest roads were difficult to traverse as they were covered in plants and tree roots.

While advancing, the team had to constantly cut and chop off whatever was in their way.

The journey was supposed to take five hours, but James and his party took eight to nine hours.

It was already dark when they reached the caverns vicinity.

Blake pointed at the caverns entrance and said, Its inside.Should we transport them tonight or rest for the night? Can we transport them all at once? James asked.

Blake looked at the hundred soldiers accompanying them and nodded.

Probably.

James thought about it for a while.

The mountain roads were challenging to span, especially at night.He did not want to exhaust the soldiers.

Hence, he said, Lets rest here for the night and transport them at dawn.

Daniel immediately instructed the soldiers, Were resting here tonight.

The soldiers started to settle down.

James looked at Blake and said, Lets go and take a look inside.

Alright.

Blake nodded.

James turned to Daniel and ordered, Stay here on guard, General Highsmith.

Okay.

Daniel nodded.

James picked up a flashlight and entered the cavern with Blake.

The entrance of the underground cavern was relatively small and was covered by the surrounding tree branches.

Upon entering the cavern, they found that it was large and extended in various directions.

As Blake was familiar with the route, he led James deeper into the cavern.

After about an hour, they reached deep inside the cavern.

They came to a stop at a stone wall.

Blake pointed at the wall and said, Back then, I hired a lot of people to help me build this secret underground room.With that being said, he walked over and pushed the wall.Dust began to fall, and the stone wall parted.The two fanned the dust away and walked inside.James took out his flashlight and illuminated the place.The space inside was not huge, but numerous wooden boxes covered in dust were stacked on the ground.James walked over and casually opened a box.

Inside were gold bars.

He picked up a piece and weighed it in his hand.

After feeling the heavy weight of the gold bar, James smiled.

Not bad.

Blake looked at the pile of boxes and sighed.

Ive covered my hands with too much blood.I wanted to keep these treasures buried underground forever and never intended to return.

Ill be using these to save lives.Take your giving it to me as an act of repentance.Maybe you wont end up in hell after death, James teased.

Thats enough.Stop joking.Lets head out first and come back tomorrow morning.

Alright.

James nodded.

Now that they had confirmed the existence of the treasures, they only had to transport them out at dawn.

James was thinking of exchanging them for money after bringing them back to Cansington.

The two walked out of the cavern.

They sped up on their way out and arrived at the entrance in about ten minutes.

When the two left the cavern, they saw that a few trees had already been cut down to free up an area for a few campfires.

James immediately warned the team, Please be careful.This is a primary forest.Itll be troublesome if a fire starts.

Daniel stood up and said with a smile, Dont worry, James.Were watching the fires.Nothing will go wrong.

Just be careful, James reminded.

The forest trees had thick leaves, and if a fire were to spark, it would spread rapidly through the forest and be hard to distinguish.

Daniel shouted to remind the soldiers, Dont slack, guys! Make sure the forest doesnt catch on fire! Yes, sir! The soldiers replied in unison.James also sat down in front of a campfire.
