My Substitute CEO Bride

Chapter 446
“Thank you so much...”
Old Herera gave Anders a grateful look.
Then, he grabbed the rope and began climbing.
He was carrying someone on his back, and the skin on his hands were already rubbed raw from gripping the rope.
When he wrapped his hands around the rope, pain shot through his hands.
“I think you should let them pull you up!”
Bradley took a harness from his backpack and wrapped it around Old Herera’s legs.
Then, he fastened the harness to the rope, making sure he knotted the ends together tightly. Melody grabbed the rope and
pulled it up.
After Old Herera was transported up, Anders gathered Hayes’ remains and made his way over
to them.
Given Anders’ current age, it was a difficult feat for him to climb up a hundred-feet cliff.
Hence, the others employed the same method they had used just now to pull him up.
Then, Bradley and Derek were pulled upward too.
It was much easier to get Nash up the cliff. All Melody had to do was hold on to the rope tightly while Nash leaped up and
clambered into the cave. He scuffed only the tops of his shoes as he did so.
Just then, the bronze casket plummeted downward from the dome.
The force was equivalent to having several dozen tons of weights suddenly placed upon you, and it was too much for the eight
metal chains, which were each as thick as an arm. The chains split open.

The bronze casket’s lid flew open and landed on the ground. A crack ran down the middle of the cosmos diagram, and the
sounds of gears turning incessantly could be heard.
The Undead Corpse King, whose hand had already been dismembered from the rest of his body, stood on top of the casket lid.
He used his scarlet-colored eyes to stare intently at the group of people standing at the
entrance.
Numerous cracks began appearing on the cave walls as the underground palace began shaking violently.
“Un... Undead Corpse King!”
Everyone’s faces immediately turned pale.
Bradley said immediately, “It’s going to collapse... Hurry, let’s go!”
Everybody immediately ran helter-skelter toward the exit.
Nash exchanged glances with the Undead Corpse King.
He noticed that the blood was slowly disappearing from the Undead Corpse King’s eyes, were turning translucent.
There also seemed to be a look of relief in those eyes.
With a bang, the dome began collapsing...
Nash turned and ran out.

The swamp had already dried out, and the now-hardened soil was covered in cracks. It looked like it had been through several
years of drought.
The entire underground castle was collapsing.
Everyone dedicated all their attention to escaping.
Half an hour later, the highest peak of the Seven Pinnacle Peaks sank into the ground.

Nash and the others had left the caves by then.
It was already late at night.
However, they did not dare pause. Instead, they continued fleeing the scene.
They only dared pause for a break after putting 500 feet between themselves and the scene.
Shock coursed through everyone’s bodies as they watched the peak slowly sink into the ground.
Almost the entire summit had been used in constructing the tomb of the King of Medicine.
It was difficult to imagine just how much manpower had been required to build the tomb of the King of Medicine in the first place.
Ten minutes later, the main peak vanished from their sight.
Only six of the seven pinnacle peaks remained.
Xeno collapsed to the ground in shock. His hands trembled as he took a cigarette out and lit it.
