Chapter 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!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNash 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.
The mechanisms were still intact. Heidi was delighted. She stepped off the tile and then took a step toward the
second circle with the character for ‘life’ on it.

Finn and Melody followed her closely, their nerves on edge as they observed the mechanisms on either side.
Reaching the second file, Heidi took a deep breath. “If this doesn’t activate the mechanism, then it should be
broken.”
She stepped onto the tile, and it descended, leveling with the ground. Once again, none of the mechanisms were
triggered. Heidi looked back at Melody and Finn with joy. “I did it.
Η
Melody smiled faintly and said, “Hurry up and open the main chamber. Nash is in great danger.

Heidi nodded and continued stepping on the tiles following the order of the 16 characters.
