Chapter 5569
At the same time, Debra realized the crack in the story too, and she eyed Scitalis warily.
'Rachelle's right. If the fog can make a person hallucinate and is lethal, why is he alright?'
Scitalis pondered and thought these two ladies were hard to fool. Nonetheless, with his
wits, he quickly thought of a reason.
"Maybe the mushroom on the wall has a detoxifying effect," he replied somberly. "After I
eat it, I'm no longer afraid of the fog."
Debra and Rachelle exchanged looks with each other and did not ask further, sighing
defeatedly.
With that being said, this was a dangerous place. It was not an easy task to leave
unscathed.
A thought then popped into Debra's head, and she shivered at the image. Looking toward
Rachelle, she stammered, "Are we...going to die since we inhaled the poisonous fog, too?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHer pretty face could not hide how panicked she was. There were many things she had not
yet done, and she had not reunited with Darryl. She refused to die in this place.
Rachelle looked sad too. 'That's right. I inhaled the fog too. Although the divine power
could protect me. I'm not immortal. Am I going to die here because of the poison?'
Scitalis mentally chuckled at the sight of Debra and Rachelle panicking.1 These two ladies
aren't too weak, but they're not the brightest of the bunch. It was a piece of cake to trick
them!’
In truth, the fog was nowhere lethal; all it could do was induce hallucinations.
"Don't worry, wifey," cooed Scitalis. Both of you won't die here. In the deep end of this
cave is an igneous rock jungle, and it has a spring. The spring water can neutralize the
poison."
While he was secretly admiring Debra and Rachelle's bodies, he continued, "You're both in
luck, because I've just discovered this spring."
Debra and Rachelle looked visibly joyful. It was too fantastic if it was real.
"Please lead the way, then," Rachelle said.
Scitalis responded and quickly headed toward the deep end of the cave. As he turned,
however, his smile turned devilish.
There was no poison-neutralizing spring water, even though there was an igneous rock
jungle in the deep end of the cave. Furthermore, the igneous rock jungle was not formed
by nature. It was a Trap Formation Scitalis specially formed. This came easy for him,
having served Emperor Hou Yi before and was the Commander-in-chief of the Royal City.
Frankly speaking, Scitalis was close to losing his restraints and jumped on Debra and
Rachelle upon seeing how beautiful they were. Nonetheless, he knew they were no
weaklings, and it would spell trouble for him if he revealed who he was immediately and
they attacked.
Worst-case scenario, Debra and Rachelle would be dead, and all his efforts would go down
the drain. The best solution was to attract them to enter the formation and wait for the
formation to consume their internal energy. By then, he could do whatever he wanted.

In contrast to Scitalis' internal party, Debra and Rachelle had no idea about Scitalis' plan.
They followed closely behind once Scitalis headed toward the inner of the cave.
After a few minutes, the space ahead of them suddenly opened up.
There was a weird igneous rock jungle up ahead the size of two basketball courts. There
were different heights of igneous rocks. Some were several meters in height and
connected to the top of the cave, while some were just a meter tall. The color of the entire
bodies of the igneous rocks was dark cyan. Their surfaces were glowing with hazy rays. It
shined the entire space and created a dreamy effect.
Debra and Rachelle exchanged looks when they saw the igneous rocks jungle. They were
very excited, believing that Scitalis did not lie after all when he said that there was an
igneous rock jungle.
Due to their excitement, Debra and Rachelle failed to notice that they had walked right
into Scitalis' trap, especially Debra.
She had deep knowledge and experience in the art of formation. Had she looked closely,
she would discover the igneous rocks jungle ahead of her was actually a massive Five
Elements Formation.
