Chapter 48 - Jungle - E

"Trees, wild gigantic dangerous animals, and ruins. How many hours have I been running around this gigantic endless jungle?" Adam asked as he jumped over a large hole on the ground that was half-filled with water which was filled with colorful extremely long fishes that have a long sharp tooth coming out from its mouth and emits bright blue electricity around its body.

"You have been running around the second game stage for around four hours from when you found your first gem and you have found a total of twenty-three gems. You only need one more gem Lion." Alice explained through Adam's earpiece as he quickly slides down the ground under a large log and stopped at the other end of it.

"Oh, man! You scared the living out of me Alice! I forgot that you were there." Adam laughed as he slowly stands up and looked straight ahead towards the dense jungle that was filled with shouts of the wildlife.

"I just need one more and I can feel that the last ruin is just a couple of meters away from me," Adam said as he ran forwards with great speed.

Three minutes passed by and Adam noticed a large chunk of stone a couple of meters in front of him to his left side. He tilted his body towards his left and ran towards the large chunk of stone.

"Okay here we go the last ruin, it's smaller than the other ones and I hope it will be the same as the others empty with no one inside of it. I don't want to repeat what happened on the first ruin." Adam said as he stared towards a small ruin that was a couple of meters in front of him.

WHOOSH! Adam quickly ran inside the ruin and ran through a long tunnel while avoiding a couple of traps that were scattered throughout the tunnel. He saw a small stone double door at the end of the tunnel which was opened wide and ran through it.

"STOP RIGHT THERE! DON'T MOVE I HAVE A GUN WITH ME AND IM NOT AFRAID TO USE IT! DON'T TEST ME! I WILL SHOOT YOU!" A woman who was wearing a long yellow dress that has a couple of large blood marks around it and was wearing a lemur mask shouted to the top of her lungs while pointing a small silver handgun towards Adam which she was holding with both of her hands that was shaking.

"Calm down I'm not holding any of my weapons right now and I won't bring them out. I will hold both of my hands above my head and you can run out from here. I don't need your statue." Adam explained while holding both of his hands above his head.

The lemur masked woman quickly bend down and grabbed a golden pig statue which has small black gems as its eyes that was sitting beside her right leg with her right arm while still pointing the handgun toward Adam which she was holding with her right hand. With no hesitation, the woman quickly ran out from the room leaving Adam alone inside the room with both of his hands above him.

"That went better than what I have in mind, lucky me that lady wants to listen to me now time to get the last gem." Adam puts both of his hands down and walked towards the empty golden pedestal which was in the middle of the room.

Adam went towards the backside of the pedestal and found a small black button that was near the rim of the pedestal "This one has its button at the top of the rim just like the other ones they put it on weird places."

Adam pressed the button as the wall behind him sunk inside and slides down on its own. He turned around and walked towards the small hole in the wall that has a diamond-shaped black gem that was inside the wall "There we go the last gem time to go back to Bull and Bunny."

"Look Bunny he's back! Hey there Lion!" Bull shouted while waving towards Adam who was running towards him and Bunny who was standing right in front of the large stone door.

"Yes, finally I'm back! Give me a couple of minutes to rest I just ran for a couple of hours straight." Adam sat down right in front of Bull and Bunny on the ground and catches his breath while wiping the sweat on his face.

"So did you find all twenty-four gems?" Bunny asked as she walked towards Adam and gave him a large black metal bottle of water which she was holding with both of her hands. Adam quickly grabbed the water bottle and drank the entire bottle.

"Yes, I found all twenty-four gems plus I got a bonus." Adam closed the empty water bottle and gave it back to Bunny. He reached into his bag and took out a camel statue. He showed it to Bull and Bunny who quickly walked closer to him.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! Their watch rang and quickly flashed bright green while Adam holds the camel statue. They quickly looked towards their watch as it displayed a long line "Congratulations for finding the Crane's lost Camel Statue. Follow the GPS to the head ruin and return the statue to the master. Tap your watch three times to show the GPS."

"Look the same message as the one we saw a couple of hours ago Bunny." Bull turned his head around towards Bunny who quickly nodded as she looked towards Bull.

"You two got the same message like this a couple of hours ago?" Adam asked as he puts down the camel statue to his right side while looking towards Bull and Bunny who quickly nodded.

"Yeah we got this exact message a couple of hours ago, so that's when you find that statue then." Bunny nodded while crossing both of her hands right in front of her.

"Okay and here take this bag, all of the gems are inside this bag you two can try and put them in those holes." Adam took off his bag while putting the golden camel statue inside he bad and pointed towards the stone door behind Bull and Bunny.

"Okay take your time and rest we will take care of this." Bull smiled as he grabbed the bag from Adam's hands.

Ten minutes passed by and Adam slowly stands up. He looked towards Bull and Bunny who were slowly putting a couple of gems inside the holes on the door. Adam walked towards them and stopped right in the middle of both of them as Bull inserted a pink gem near the middle of the door while Bunny inserted a purple gem on the hole right in front of her "Wow this looks beautiful."

"I know right! I wish we can keep these gems they look amazing!" Bunny smiled while looking towards Adam.

"Hey Lion here's the last gem you can put this one." Bull looked towards Adam and gave him an orange gem. Adam smiled as he grabbed the gem and inserted the gem on the last empty hole which was right in the middle of the large double stone door.

TOOT! TOOT! TOOT! A loud and festive trumpet tune came from the back of the stone doors as it shook on its own for a couple of seconds. The door stopped shaking and slowly went downwards revealing a long and dark staircase behind the door.

"Looks like we can't keep the gems." Bunny sighed as the door fully sunk inside the floor.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! Their watches rang while flashing bright red light and the three of them looked towards their watches "Congratulations on finding all twenty-four of the sacred gems but be very careful of the Monkey Emperor!"

"Monkey Emperor? What does that mean?" Bunny asked as she looked towards Bull and Adam.

"I don't know what does that mean but the Monkey Emperor must be at the end of that staircase so we should go now." Adam looked towards Bull and Bunny who quickly nodded and the three of them walked down the staircase.
