My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 435

Instantly, blood started flowing from the Undead Corpse King's seven orifices. He suddenly opened his eyes as his hair regrew rapidly at a pace visible to the naked eye.

Nash was thoroughly shocked. "Quick, find a way to leave this place!"

He raised the Heavenly Sword and rushed toward the Undead Corpse King. While the main chamber of the King of Medicine's tomb was within reach, their lives were more important than whatever resources could be inside it. In a situation like this where the power difference was too great, they had no choice but to abandon the treasure.

At this moment, Heidi called out, "Nash, can you hold on for three minutes? I think I've figured out the puzzle behind the 18 Rings of Doom!"

Nash responded firmly, "Two minutes! We must leave within two minutes!"

The Undead Corpse King had already launched an attack against Nash. He swung the Heavenly Sword while grabbing a piece of talisman paper to confront the creature.

The Undead Corpse King was incredibly powerful, and his resistance to weapons was remarkable, making it difficult to harm him. Nash could only dodge while using the talisman paper to attack from a distance. The talisman paper burned and transformed into various attacks that landed on the Undead Corpse King.

Not wanting to waste any time, Heidi stepped onto the outermost tile, which had the character for 'person' on it.

Based on her research with Anders, Bradley, and Nash, she discovered that Leopole had greatly admired a figure later known as the King of Medicine of the Teal Dynasty, Solaris. That person had a famous 16-word maxim that roughly translated to:

"The value of a human life is immeasurable, worth more than a thousand pieces of gold. When one provides assistance, their virtue surpasses even this."

Each of the maxim's 16 words appeared in sequence within the 180 ancient Somerese characters in each circle. The last two characters were likely either characters equivalent to Leopole or something else.

Melody and Finn stood beside Heidi, ready to assist her if any mechanism was needed to be activated to save someone.

Heidi was nervous. With only two minutes remaining, time was precious. Nash was buying her this time with his life. She could not afford any mistakes.

The moment she stepped onto the tile, the previously uneven tiles slowly became level with the ground.

Nico gulped. "If it weren't for him, we would all have met our end today."

"Derek, you thought that Mr. Law was just trying to scare us earlier. You should go and apologize to him later," Xeno added with a meaningful look.

Derek's lips twitched slightly. The audacity of this man to accuse him of it. It was just a moment ago that he himself had pointed a gun at Anders. If anyone should be apologizing, it should be him.

Of course, these were just Derek's inner thoughts. He did not dare to say them out loud.

"Alright, Mr. Hun," Derek forced a smile and responded. He then went back to watching Nash, who had been knocked back by the Undead Corpse King.

At this moment, Nash's face was grim and dark. His garb had been torn apart by the Undead Corpse King. Each of the creature's attacks was infused with tremendous force, and Nash had overestimated his own strength.

With a resounding thud, the Undead Corpse King threw another punch. Nash managed to dodge in time, and the punch struck the hard rock wall, leaving a hole the size of a bowl.
