Raphael asked Earl to distract the white tiger and Patrick to jump into the lake to get the glowing object
in the middle of the lake.
“Why didn’t you jump into the water yourself?”
Gary and the others were very dissatisfied with this, as Rafael took advantage of them along the way.
In terms of physical strength and skills, Raphael was a match for Patrick. The one jumped into the lake
would be in danger at any time as the lake would wash away the mucus of the fruit pulp on his body.
No matter how much they objected, the decision was still the same because Earl only listened to
Raphael’s orders.
“Be careful.”
Christina reminded him, “…I don’t know if it is my illusion. When I walked to the middle of the lake,
there seemed to be an invisible energy wave that shook and spread from the center of the lake to all
directions, ordering all beasts.”
Patrick nodded at her and moved quickly towards the lake. Gary and Alan had set weapons around
them and were ready to fight.
Patrick was a good swimmer. He jumped into the water easily and swam as fast as he could to the
middle of the lake. The glittering thing was standing majestically at the bottom of the lake.
The water was cold and crystal-clear as if there were no impurities, no seaweed, no small fish or
shrimp. Patrick dived into the lake and looked at the sparkling point. Then he felt an indescribable
peace in his mind.
But when Patrick reached out to get it, his hand suddenly withdrew back before he could touch it.
Patrick frowned. He was sure that this was the lost Scepter. Before his fingers could touch it, he felt the
extreme heat like the lava of over 1000 degrees celsius.
He looked around anxiously. Without suitable tools, he then came up with a plan. Patrick quickly took
off his shirt in the lake and wanted to use his shirt as a rope to tie the scepter and then pull it up.
Patrick was about to wrap his shirt around the scepter and tie a knot. But before he could approach it,
the scepter seemed to have its spirit, forming a wave of power at the bottom of the clear and
transparent lake. It bounced him away.
Although the power was not so enormous, Patrick was still very surprised. The scepter seemed to
refuse his approach.
Picking up a small stone at the bottom of the lake, Patrick tried to throw it at the majestic and upright
scepter.
Before the stone could touch it, the stone was suddenly rebounded by an invisible force.
At this moment, Gary and others who were waiting on the lake began to worry and shouted at the lake,
“Mr. Hopkins, is something wrong?”
Patrick was almost diving at the bottom of the lake for 20 minutes, which was close to his limit.
Christina also nervously approached the lake to watch. Soon, a few bubbles appeared on the surface Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
of the water in the middle of the lake. Suddenly, an invisible force rippled from the middle of the lake,
like a gust of wind rushing towards them. It pushed all of them down to the ground.
Before they could react, Patrick jumped up from the middle of the lake. His upper body was naked and
his face was pale. He frowned with pain.
“… How are you? Get ashore,” Christina shouted nervously at him.
Almost at the same time, an angry roar of a tiger came from the jungle behind them. A large group of
wild animals ran wildly and shook the ground.
“Come ashore, those animals are coming again.”
Charles took a long bamboo pole and handed it to the lake. He brought Patrick ashore with all his
strength. Patrick did not dare to delay and held the bamboo pole with his right hand and swam hard at
the same time. The jungle beasts behind them seemed to be summoned by something, and they were
running wildly, roaring, screaming.
As soon as Patrick climbed ashore, Charles saw that his left hand seemed to be badly burned and got
rotted. Just as he was about to ask, a huge snow-white figure swept him. With a roar of a tiger, Patrick
was pressed down by the white tiger that was pouncing on him and fell heavily back into the lake, even
before he could stand still.
The furious white tiger seemed to have lost its control and roared. It opened its mouth wide and bit
Patrick’s neck. At the critical moment, a small black shadow quickly jumped onto the white tiger’s back.
Earl’s sharp claws neatly scratched the white tiger’s charred butt. In an instant, a deep and long blood
mark was cut. The blood was
black.
Earl’s claws were extremely poisonous.
Because of this sudden attack, the white tiger howled in pain. It instinctively let go of Patrick and
immediately turned its head to chase after the enemy. But the white tiger could not see Earl crawling on
its back.
Not far away, Christina watched this dangerous scene and almost couldn’t breathe. Fortunately, she
caught Earl in advance and covered it with the magical jam that it didn’t like.
While the two big cats were chasing and fighting, Gary and Charles quickly pulled Patrick up from the
lake. Patrick choked on the lake water a few times, and there were no other injuries except that his left-
hand palm was badly scalded.
Behind them were a group of more than a dozen adult jackals, three leopards, and a group of foxes,
wild boars, buffaloes, and even over a dozen giant vultures hovering in the air. Listening to the sound of
the ground shaking in the distance, it seemed that more wild animals were driven here.
These wild animals that suddenly ran over surrounded them. Looking at these huge animals, Charles
couldn’t help swallowing. No matter how many bullets they had, they were not enough.
“Don’t move, don’t make a sound,” Raphael was also shocked by the scene.
He did not know what power it was that summoned all the beasts around them.
A large vulture hovered low on the lake, casting a huge shadow. The sound of its huge wings waving
also came. The strong wind blew Christina’s long hair flying. She pursed her lips and held her breath,
as she was afraid that these wild animals would notice.
After Patrick went ashore, they also applied the special juice from the lotus fruit on them in time. Seeing
that Patrick’s left palm was scalded and was rotted, Christina felt a little sad.
Surrounded by such a large number of ferocious beasts, they were like wooden people, not daring to
move. Not to mention getting weapons, they would probably be trampled to death before they could
touch the gun.
The animals here didn’t seem to like the smell of this special fruit pulp. The beasts looked very
agitated. They roared in the direction where they were standing and scratched the ground with their
front paws irritably.
Earl also didn’t like the smell. Its hair was covered with this thick and smelly fruit pulp. It felt very
uncomfortable, scratched the white tiger a few times, jumped up and down. It then ran to the back of a
wild boar to scratch it, as if it was venting its unhappiness. No matter how thick the boar’s skin was, it
could not withstand Earl’s sharp claws. The large herd of wild animals began to get disturbed. They
then hit each other and roared.
Raphael and the others took the opportunity to walk to the lake to avoid being hurt. At the same time,
they found that these beasts were unwilling to get close to the lake. They also notice the beasts did not
drink water in the lake.
