Rising from the Ashes Chapter 1542
These Deathbugs that appeared out of nowhere initially flew around chaotically in the passage. Gradually, they began to swarm together, buzzing loudly as they swept toward Andrew and his team like a dark cloud. "Run! Run for your lives!" Andrew's voice rang out urgently. "One bite from these Deathbugs could be fatal. Once they burrow into your body, not even God can save you—you'll become a zombie!" His grave warning echoed in everyone's ears as they fled. Bursting out of the passage, they found themselves in a massive underground cavern. Several team members had dropped their torches during the panic, leaving only Tiana and Andrew with flickering flames to illuminate a small area around them. Running at breakneck speed, Andrew could not afford to examine what lay ahead in detail. Still, he managed to glance around while sprinting, taking in their surroundings. This underground world, sealed away for countless years, stretched at least 100 feet high above them. The space

Then a tremendous force swept through, dragging Darius toward the coffin. "Help me, Mr. Keller, help me!" he screamed in terror, breaking down into tears. A dull thud echoed as a hunting knife flew in from the doorway. It grazed Darius' head and drove straight into the mummy's skull, nearly splitting the entire dried head apart. Andrew appeared at the chamber entrance with the others, his face cold as ice. Having narrowly escaped death, Darius broke free and stammered his thanks. "Thank you! Thank you, Mr. Lloyd, for saving my life." Andrew's expression remained stern as he ignored him completely. He stepped forward, pulled out the hunting knife, and turned to leave the chamber. Logan had already found Lenny, the other missing team member, and walked over to deliver two sharp slaps across Darius' face. "You damn fool, who the hell told you to go off on your own? You son of a bitch, don't you realize that your stupid stunts could get all of us killed?" Logan's fury w

The mummy just stared at Darius with that eerie smile, one bony hand still gripping his wrist. But soon, Darius started to realize something was off. He gave a quick tug, and just like that, his hand slipped free with no resistance at all. The corpse's hand stayed frozen midair, curled like it was still trying to grasp him. Even that creepy grin on its face now looked stiff and lifeless. Darius wiped the sweat off his forehead and let out a long breath. His blood, which had turned ice-cold just moments ago, started to warm up again. "False alarm…" he muttered, trying to laugh it off. It turned out that he had just scared himself silly. That mummy had been dead for centuries, and its muscles and bones were already rotting and collapsed in weird ways. So, that was probably why its face looked like it was smiling. After all, dead bodies could not possibly smile. "Motherf—" he growled, and then spat angrily at the corpse inside the coffin. "This whole place gives me the cree

The stone coffin was stacked with a dazzling layer of gold, silver, and gems. Even with just a sliver of torchlight, everything sparkled like a treasure chest straight out of a dream. That scorching wave of greed surged up and filled every inch of Darius' mind and body. "I'm rich… I'm filthy rich…" he muttered, practically shaking with excitement. Shoulder braced against the heavy lid, he threw his full weight into pushing it open even more. Finally, with a series of harsh, grinding screeches, the several-hundred-pound stone lid slid open by two-thirds. That gap was more than enough, and he could easily crawl inside and grab whatever he wanted. However, instead of diving in, Darius crept back to the doorway and peeked outside again. He had no idea if Lenny had caught wind of all the noise he had made just now. After a quick glance, he let out a relieved breath. He thought, 'Thank goodness! That greedy bastard is still too focused on looting, completely oblivious to what's g

"Holy crap, I've never seen a gold pendant this massive in my life! Look at it—it's carved with dragons and phoenixes. No doubt it's worth at least a few million!" The two men were panting hard, eyes bloodshot, completely overtaken by greed. After looting one side chamber, they immediately turned and rushed into the next, tearing through it like rabid dogs. Lenny, with his long horse-like face, grew impatient with how slow things were going. He said, "Darius, we should split up. It'll be faster that way." The short, stocky Darius chuckled awkwardly. "Fine by me, but let's be clear—whatever we find, it's finders keepers. No splitting." Lenny had no objections and nodded quickly. "Fair enough. Whatever you find is yours to keep." Without another word, the two men darted off in opposite directions, each chasing treasure on their own. Darius pretended to charge into one side chamber. A sinister smirk crept across his face when he glanced back and saw that Lenny was not paying

As the group continued deeper into the tunnel, more and more stone chambers appeared on either side. Each one had been carved out into a small room, no bigger than 45 square feet. Every one of them held a coffin inside. The sight of those caskets sent chills down Natasha and Chantelle's spines. They stayed close behind Andrew, finding comfort in his steady presence. Jerry, ever the professional, kept a firm position guarding Tiana's flank without missing a beat. Meanwhile, the two men Logan had brought along were not nearly as reliable. At first, they kept pace and followed the group without issue. However, as they moved farther in, they noticed gold wares, gemmed ornaments, and ancient oak chests in the chambers. The two started whispering, greed beginning to take root in their eyes. "Mr. Keller, aren't we here to find treasure? Some of these items would fetch a fortune if we took them out. Instead of stumbling around in the dark, why not scoop up a few things and make thi
