The Bored Immortal Chapter 2 - Ruins Of A Lost Civilization?

Millions of years later...

*BOOM*

"Damn it, Rick! Why did you set off the charge like that? This is an ancient site! You can't detonate a damn bomb unless you want to destroy any precious treasure or compromise this whole structure. Even a random stone here would be worth millions of dollars."

"Oh, stop it, Brad. I know what I am doing. Don't teach how to do my job, hmph. I have been plundering treasure sites and tombs for a couple of years already. You should instead focus on your pregnant wife, heh. You sure have the guts to bring Dina along for such a dangerous job."

"Shut your trap, Rick. All these years, I have been plundering old underground caves like these with you people. Just because I got married and pregnant doesn't an I will stop what I love doing the best. Besides, I am only 1 month in and if Brad is risking his life, so will I. I don't want to raise a child without a father," Dina said with a frown, not liking how Rick was looking down on her just because she got married and was having a baby on the way.

"Dina, relax. Don't waste too much of your energy, and let's focus on what's before us," Brad said in a concerned tone. However, inwardly he was moved that Dina was very much worried about his life.

Although he had tried to persuade her countless tis to stay ho, her stubbornness won in the end.

Hearing her husband's words, Dina, a beauty herself, didn't say anything more before giving a glare at Rick.

However, for a mont, she felt creeped out by the look that flashed past Rick's eyes when he looked at her. She wondered if it was her imagination or sothing else.

A burly and tall man who was exploring the way ahead turned around and said in an aggravated tone, "Can you three shut up and focus? God knows the various kinds of traps in this place. We are already over 5000 ters beneath sea level, and who knows how many ters underground. This is the deepest ancient underground site we have ever co upon.

"After all, rember that we had to deep dive into the damn sea to reach this site. And it even further led us underground for quite a distance. According to our inforr, this whole place was subrged at least tens of millions of years ago. So, keep your eyes open for the bones of any ancient creatures or beasts. If we even get to bring back one of them, we would get enough riches to last us for at least a few lifetis."

"Alright, Coby. But can you co over here for a second?" Brad said while noticing the greed shining in Coby's eyes.

Coby rolled his eyes and ca close to Brad and asked, "What is it?"

Brad gestured with his eyes towards the six n walking ahead, dressed in armor and ard with rifles, shotguns and asked, "Why did you have to bring those group of rcenaries? Can we even trust them?"

Seeing the big guns the rcenaries were carrying, Brad was feeling uneasy about it.

Coby patted Brad's shoulders and said, "Chill, pal. They are a bunch we can at least trust to get the job done and also to take a bite in case shit goes down. Why do you think we are letting them walk ahead? Usually, ancient ruins like these can have unstable surfaces because of how old everything inside this cave is. And if the rumors about those legends are true, then we can even expect traps. I am just trying to be careful here. You can complain all you want. Heck, you can leave if you are that scared."

Brad pushed off Coby's shoulder and said, "Hah, you think too low of . Don't rember who saved your ass countless tis for all these years."

Coby shook his head with a chuckle and continued to walk without saying anything more.

Coby, Brad, Dina, Rick...these four were a group of raiders who plundered treasure troves and ancient ruins for a living. They have been doing this for quite a while.

But they had no idea that the ancient ruins they were inside now were one of a kind they had never seen before and how it was going to change all of their lives for the better or for, the worse.

The eight rcenaries with guns were walking ahead while looking around with sharp eyes though one would wonder if they were looking for treasures or for any dangerous things that could hurt their party.

Coby had hired them, and this was sothing he had never done before. This was why Brad wondered why Coby was doing this.

But when he rembered the rumors related to this mysterious ancient ruin and how the whole place's entrance was located under the bottom of an ocean, he felt that maybe hiring the rcenaries was a good thing.

Even though the rcenaries carried guns, he also had them, and of course, Dina had them too. So, he was not that worried about protecting himself and his wife.

The group of twelve had to use a deep sea exploration vehicle to go a few thousands of ters deep into the ocean to reach the entrance to this ancient ruin.

Never before had the group of four raiders ever embarked on such a dangerous adventure or one that was located so deep beneath the ocean.

But how could they resist when rumors said that this ancient ruin once belonged to an ancient civilization which sounded complete nonsense since these ruins dated back to at least millions of years ago.

However, the more they walked through these ruins, the more they felt that these ruins were indeed not ordinary or anything similar to what they had seen before; especially the mont they entered this underground cave since they ca upon a special chanism that drained out all water from the entrance they ca in, allowing them to walk inside the large cave as if they were walking on the ground.

But the more they walked deeper into the ruins, the less they felt that this was a cave but a large hall of sorts.

Their surroundings were completely dark and damp, because of which they had to make use of fire torches and flashlights.

After walking for a long ti, the group was surprised that they didn't co upon any treasure nor any dangers other than the long and dark passage they were walking through.

But finally, they ca to a stop when they ca upon a strange and mysterious-looking door for the first ti. They stood there with shocked and astonished expressions because this ant that these ruins were indeed part of an ancient civilization which should have been impossible to exist according to their history!
