Chapter 1767 Eating Elephants

Upon hearing his words, the few of them burst out laughing.

“What a fine plan you’ve got there. Do you think that our antidote is free, or do you think that our poison is free? So you’re going to poison a random person then give them the antidote?”

“Exactly. There’s no antidote for Daemonic Mount’s poison!”

“There’s no antidote?”

“That’s right. There’s only one end for everyone who’s poisoned—death after torment!”

“That’s the only way people will stay away from this place. This is so that they’ll understand that the ones who barge into Daemonic Mount will die.”

D*mn it, Faye and Jeremy are doomed if there isn’t an antidote.

“Is there really no antidote?” he asked again.

“No. When this poison was made, it was meant to send those people straight to hell!”

Listening to how confident they sounded, Davin was convinced that they weren’t lying.

What now? If we can’t get the antidote, we can only rely on Nicole to counteract the poison.

“Hurry back to guard the mountain. We won’t give you the poison. Those who aren’t a part of Daemonic Mount don’t deserve to use it.”

Tsk. Whatever. It’s not like I actually want the poison.

Just as Davin took two steps away from the group of people, they suddenly stopped him again.

“Wait!”

Davin’s heart skipped a beat as he turned to them. “Something else you want to tell me?”

One of them then walked closer to him as he questioned, “Did you hear what we talked about earlier?”

Davin stiffened. He shook his head first, then he nodded.

“So did you hear us or not?”

Davin was silent for a second before replying, “I-I did. I heard that you said something like someone wanting to eat elephants. I thought there were elephants inside, so I didn’t dare to go inside.”

“That’s all you heard?” The person stared at Davin.

The latter nodded fervently. “Yes. I heard elephants when I came here, and something about chewing them? I don’t think elephants are good to chew on. Crabmeat, on the other hand, is so much better, and they taste good too—”

“All right, that’s enough. Leave now.”

The man then shot him an impatient look.

After Davin returned to their spot and found Levant, he told the latter what he heard.

A look of disbelief then crept upon Levant’s face.

“There isn’t an antidote?”

“That’s right. That’s what they said, and it doesn’t seem like they were lying.”

Levan furrowed his brows and stated, “So they really don’t have the antidote, or do they not have it with them at that moment? Maybe their higher-ups have it?”

That was something he had to look into.

A pause later, Davin said, “You’re right. I’ll tell Juan about this first.”

“What are you going to tell Juan? You haven’t even found the antidote yet.”

“I actually wanted to tell him about the treasure. The boy has always been really interested in treasures. I heard that Girin Blood is needed to open the treasure. However, there’s only one person in the world who has Girin Blood, and it’s almost impossible to find that person in this world. Also, I’d say we shouldn’t let him see the half piece of a treasure map that Kyle has given to us. We should convince them to go back immediately.”

Then, he added, “Why don’t I go back with them too? I wonder if Nicole will be able to do something to counteract my poison.”

With that said, Davin started walking out. However, he only managed to take a few steps before the world spun around him and all strength fled him. He stumbled, and he passed out.

When Levant saw him faint, he realized that it must be the poison in him acting up again. He was curious—he wondered what Lucas had poisoned Davin with.

Why is he fainting so often? Once I see Lucas, I’m going to let him have a taste of his own medicine.

In the meantime, Juan and the others were in the cabin, taking care of Jeremy as they waited for news from Davin and Levant.

Evan and Nicole had yet to return, and there had been no news from Davin’s side either. The sun was setting, and their patience was wearing thin.

“Mr. Juan, why don’t I look for Mr. Davin and Mr. Levant at night and find out whether or not they’ve gotten the antidote?”

“Damien, I’ll go with you,” Darius volunteered.
