The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 704
Logically, they should hear even the sound of breathing, if not of footsteps. Aaron Coleman hurriedly
took a few steps forward, trying to reach out to pull Anna Coleman. However, he
couldn’t even touch anything. There was no one there. “Mr. Whaley, what’s going on? Where is my
sister? Where did she go?” Aaron couldn’t help but ask. Josiah Whaley also seemed confused.
Sanctuary Shrine was not big at all. Where could Anna Coleman have gone?
The two searched for a while, but they still couldn’t find anyone. All of a sudden, the two became
nervous. “Could there be some trap door mechanism on the ground? Perhaps
they fell down right after entering?”

“If you fell, would you not make a single sound?” Aaron asked. Josiah shook his head. “At the very
least, I would have made some noise to warn the rest.”
“Exactly. They would have normally called out, but there were four of them and none of them called out.
That’s not normal.” The two men continued to walk forward a great distance.
Josiah stopped and reached out.
“No, we just walked around Sanctuary Shrine. The circumference is at most
five hundred meters. We have walked for over ten minutes. It makes no sense that we haven’t reached
the end. Moreover, there aren’t any other structures around.”
Aaron’s heart thudded. Now, he couldn’t be bothered about anything else. He quickly took out his
phone and turned on the shlight. Aaron then discovered that the light from his phone could only
illuminate a five-meter range at most. Even so, he could see nothing but darkness in front of him. There
wasn’t anything else! Regardless of which way they walked, it was the same. This ce was like a
huge
and endless open space.
They couldn’t get to the end no matter what. Ba-dump!
Aaron plopped down on the ground. He was close to having a breakdown. “Elder Josiah, do you think
we are
dead?”
“That’s impossible,” Josiah uttered. “Then how could this be? Why can’t we get to the end despite
walking so much? I heard that this is What the
road to hell is like.
You have to walk for nine days and nine nights to get to the end,” Aaron said. “Don’t spew nonsense. I
think we simply encountered an evil spell of some sort! They say Sanctuary Shrine is
an evil ce. This is probably what they meant. Let’s stop walking for now. We’ll have a rest and think
of
solutions after that” ***
Alex and Waltz encountered the same problem.
“Senior, this ce really is a little evil. My left eyelid hasn’t stopped twitching. Will something bad
happen?” Waltz asked while she pressed one hand against her left eye. Alex grabbed her hand. “Don’t
think too much.” Waltz immediately spread her fingers and intertwined her fingers with Alex’s. Alex was
stunned for a moment, but he did not resist. “If I’m not mistaken, there’s an Elemental Trap inside this
Sanctuary Shrine.
It might look like we have been moving forward, but we are in fact walking in ce.”
“Huh?” Waltz was surprised. “What do we do? Things like Elemental Trap are only known to masters of
astrology and fortune tellers. Jarsurya might have a little of such knowledge, but I know nothing about
it.”
“It doesn’t matter.
I know about it,” Alex said. Waltz was joyful. “Really? Senior, you really are my perfect boyfriend.” Alex
rolled his eyes. He then stomped his foot, and a huge force transmitted through the ground. If it was an
ordinary concrete floor, arge crater would have been formed. But the ground here was as solid as
iron. Moreover, there were faint yellow lines lighting up on the ground. Alex observed those faint
glimmers of light.
After silently making calctions for the direction, he pulled
Waltz along while he ran toward a certain direction. Suddenly, the scene in front of them changed.
Instead of the pitch-ck environment a while ago, they were now looking at lush greenery. There were
strange green vines everywhere. The two of them suddenly heard the sound of a woman crying softly.
