After resting for a moment, the three of them continued onward.
Not long after the trio's figures vanished.
The nine iron chains, which had long since fallen still, suddenly quivered ever so slightly.
But there was no one on them at all.
From the river, the tentacle slowly emerged from the water, "looking" toward the empty chains.
It seemed to sense something, yet it hesitated.
In the end, the tentacle appeared to conclude that it had been a hallucination and submerged itself once more into the viscous Blood River.
...
Eventually, Gu Song and the others arrived in a massive, circular stone chamber.
There, on a stone platform in the center of the chamber, sat three enormous Treasure Chests forged from Ten Thousand Year Cold Iron!
The Treasure Chests were jet-black, each carved with a different design on its lid.
One depicted an ancient longsword.
Another, an open scroll.
And the last was carved with an eye that seemed to peer into the very hearts of men.
