Chapter 698

Chapter 698

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

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.
