The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 704

Logically, they should hear even the sound of breathing, if not of footsteps. Aaron Coleman hurriedly took a few steps forward, trying to reach out to pull Anna Coleman. However, he couldn’t even touch anything. There was no one there. “Mr. Whaley, what’s going on? Where is my sister? Where did she go?” Aaron couldn’t help but ask. Josiah Whaley also seemed confused. Sanctuary Shrine was not big at all. Where could Anna Coleman have gone? The two searched for a while, but they still couldn’t find anyone. All of a sudden, the two became nervous. “Could there be some trap door mechanism on the ground? Perhaps they fell down right after entering?” “If you fell, would you not make a single sound?” Aaron asked. Josiah shook his head. “At the very least, I would have made some noise to warn the rest.” “Exactly. They would have normally called out, but there were four of them and none of them called out. That’s not normal.” The two men continued to walk forward a great distance. Josiah stopped and reached out. “No, we just walked around Sanctuary Shrine. The circumference is at most five hundred meters. We have walked for over ten minutes. It makes no sense that we haven’t reached the end. Moreover, there aren’t any other structures around.” Aaron’s heart thudded. Now, he couldn’t be bothered about anything else. He quickly took out his phone and turned on the flashlight. Aaron then discovered that the light from his phone could only illuminate a five-meter range at most. Even so, he could see nothing but darkness in front of him. There wasn’t anything else! Regardless of which way they walked, it was the same. This place was like a huge and endless open space. They couldn’t get to the end no matter what. Ba-dump! Aaron plopped down on the ground. He was close to having a breakdown. “Elder Josiah, do you think we are dead?” “That’s impossible,” Josiah uttered. “Then how could this be? Why can’t we get to the end despite walking so much? I heard that this is What the road to hell is like. You have to walk for nine days and nine nights to get to the end,” Aaron said. “Don’t spew nonsense. I think we simply encountered an evil spell of some sort! They say Sanctuary Shrine is an evil place. This is probably what they meant. Let’s stop walking for now. We’ll have a rest and think of solutions after that” *** Alex and Waltz encountered the same problem. “Senior, this place really is a little evil. My left eyelid hasn’t stopped twitching. Will something bad happen?” Waltz asked while she pressed one hand against her left eye. Alex grabbed her hand. “Don’t think too much.” Waltz immediately spread her fingers and intertwined her fingers with Alex’s. Alex was stunned for a moment, but he did not resist. “If I’m not mistaken, there’s an Elemental Trap inside this Sanctuary Shrine. It might look like we have been moving forward, but we are in fact walking in place.” “Huh?” Waltz was surprised. “What do we do? Things like Elemental Trap are only known to masters of astrology and fortune tellers. Jarsurya might have a little of such knowledge, but I know nothing about it.” “It doesn’t matter. I know about it,” Alex said. Waltz was joyful. “Really? Senior, you really are my perfect boyfriend.” Alex rolled his eyes. He then stomped his foot, and a huge force transmitted through the ground. If it was an ordinary concrete floor, a large crater would have been formed. But the ground here was as solid as iron. Moreover, there were faint yellow lines lighting up on the ground. Alex observed those faint glimmers of light. After silently making calculations for the direction, he pulled Waltz along while he ran toward a certain direction. Suddenly, the scene in front of them changed. Instead of the pitch-black environment a while ago, they were now looking at lush greenery. There were strange green vines everywhere. The two of them suddenly heard the sound of a woman crying softly.
