Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 1317

"What's the matter?"

Nicole was curious. Samuel shook his head. He told her he didn't know either, and Emory had sent someone to check out.

At this time, Amelia said, "This is a formation. Nicole, do as I say."

"Alright."

In terms of formations, Nicole listened to Amelia.

Jarrod had worried that Amelia would not be able to stand it. Seeing that she was teaching Nicole how to open the formation, he was surprised and then smiled.

Amelia was not someone who would easily open her heart to others. But once she did, she would trust the person for the rest of her life. It seemed that Amelia had seen Nicole as her friend.

Before the result of paternity test came out, Jarrod liked such development. Even if the worst came to worst and he was Jayden's son, as long as Nicole was around, there might be hope between him and Amelia.

She was just a woman, but he couldn't let her go.

Nicole opened the formation according to Amelia's instructions, and a heavy dusty smell immediately wafted into their noses.

Samuel ran over almost immediately and threw himself at Nicole, shouting, "Get down! Hold your breath!"

The team was well-trained. After hearing Samuel's order, the people quickly prostrated and held their breath. Jarrod immediately pulled Amelia in his arms.

"What's going on?"

Nicole gazed at Samuel in confusion. She did not feel any danger.

Samuel whispered, "Once this long-sealed ore vein comes into contact with the air outside, it will release a poisonous gas. Although the toxicity is not great, it cannot be ignored."

Only then did Nicole understand.

She knew too little about mining.

The smell was too weird to describe. Some people held their breaths too late and got poisoned, rolling on the ground and howling.

Emory immediately had some of his men carry them out of there for treatment, and the expressions of the others became much more solemn.

They thought that it was just an ore vein, so they didn't need to take it too seriously. Until this moment, they realized that things were much more difficult than they had imagined.

Samuel felt that it was almost time, so he got up.

He pulled Nicole up and whispered, "Come forward when I need you, and stand beside Amelia at other times. Okay?"

"Okay."

Nicole also knew that it was dangerous, so she hurriedly nodded, but she was worried about Samuel, so she grabbed his arm and stared at him.

Although she didn't say anything, Samuel knew.

"I will be careful. Don't worry."

Nicole finally let go of Samuel.

He and Emory were the commanders of the two sides, so she could not and did not dare to ask him to stay.

Nicole went to Amelia.

Amelia said to her, "This is the first time I've seen such a vein. I've seen it in one of our family's books before. I thought it was just a legend. I didn't expect it to be true."

"What do you mean?"

Nicole didn't know anything about ore veins, so she was confused.

She leaned against Amelia. The latter said, "This kind of ore vein should have a history of over a thousand years."

"What?"

Nicole was rather surprised.

Over a thousand years?

What ancient ore vein that was.

Amelia nodded seriously and continued, "Modern ore veins can't be hidden by a formation. In modern society, formations have almost disappeared. I've read about this kind of formation in my family's books. This kind of way to open a formation was only used a thousand years ago."

"If someone discovered this ore vein a thousand years ago, why didn't they mine it? Why did they use a formation to conceal it?"

Nicole seemed to be talking to herself, but her mind raced.

No one would dislike money. Even a thousand years ago, such an ore vein was the treasure of a country. Any lord would have ordered people to mine it. However, the ore vein was concealed with a formation. Why?

An idea flashed through Nicole's mind. She shivered.

"Unless this ore vein cannot be mined by human beings!"

Nicole's eyes widened as she stared straight at Amelia, her heart in her mouth.

She had guessed right. Amelia nodded heavily.

"Since ancient times, formations have been created with dangers. The fact that such an ancient ore vein has been hidden for a thousand years is enough to prove that this ore vein is not simple. It is even beyond the control of human beings. The technology from a thousand years ago was backward, so they sealed it. Now that our technology is advanced, I wonder if we can complete the mining."

Amelia's eyes were filled with worry.

Unlike others, as the sole inheritor of a family of formations, she had an innate keen sense in this regard.

Nicole's expression became somewhat solemn.

She quickly informed Emory and Samuel of this news.

"Emory, it's not that we don't want to mine, but we have to take into account people's lives, right? Since we know that there is a problem with this mine, let's find the problem first. Wouldn't it be safer to solve the problem before we act?"

Nicole also persuaded Emory. She agreed with Amelia's suggestion.

While Emory was still hesitating, Samuel also joined the lobbying.

"Emory, this matter must be suspended. Many people have been poisoned and the poison attacked them at the same time. Besides, we didn't bring many people with us. Do you want them all to die here? They should die on the battlefield, not here."

Emory looked at the wailing soldiers and finally nodded.

"Alright, I'll go report to the higher-ups. You're in charge now."

He looked at Nicole and Amelia.

Amelia nodded and said, "I have taught you how to seal a formation. Just follow the spell."

Nicole knew that the matter was very important now. She wanted to run over, but Samuel grabbed her.

"Someone, find a gas mask."

Samuel had prepared the gas masks for emergency needs. There were only a few of them. He didn't expect that they would come in handy at this time.

Nicole looked at Samuel and smiled.

After putting on the gas mask, Nicole quickly walked over and began to seal the entrance of the ore vein according to the spell Amelia had taught her. However, she was a beginner after all. She tried several times without success.

Amelia got anxious, so she asked Jarrod to fetch her a gas mask, and she personally walked over.

She was still very weak, but now she gave people a noble impression. Perhaps this was the charm of the members of the formation clan.

Jarrod looked at her, his heart aching, his brows tightly knitted together.

He regretted bringing Amelia here. What if her body couldn't take it?

However, Amelia couldn't know what was on his mind at this moment and she didn't want to care about it for the time being.

When Nicole saw her coming over, she asked worriedly, "How are you holding up?"

"I have to do this. The longer this gas is emitted, the more people will be poisoned. If a gale rises blows the gas out of this range, I'm afraid more people will suffer."

Although she had stayed on Jayden's side for so many years, as a member of the formation clan, Amelia still had the most basic goodwill.

Nicole nodded and started to seal the entrance of the ore vein with Amelia.

The doctors were in the middle of rescuing the poisoned soldiers, but after all, there weren't enough doctors, and there were too many poisoned soldiers. The situation was chaotic.

Amelia and Nicole tried their best to seal the entrance, but one of them was exhausted after the miscarriage and the other was just a beginner. This was an arduous task for them, and they could barely hold on.

Everyone was trying their best to change the situation, but there seemed to be a huge beast hiding in the air, causing people to feel extremely uneasy.
