Chapter 699

Rafael 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 didn’t drink the water in the

lake, either.

These big beasts’ fight with each other was a spectacular sight. If a few of them died, they could also

roast them for dinner.

Soon, the white tiger jumped to the center of the beasts. It roared majestically and the ground seemed

trembling.

The beasts gradually stopped fighting. This white tiger was the king here.

The white tiger had a long stalemate with these beasts. The sky gradually darkened, and the beasts

began to regain calm. They gradually left the lake and returned to the jungle.

Soon, the buzzing vultures flew away and all the beasts left, except for the white tiger.

It still squatted upright like a statue. Its green eyes looked straight at the lake as if it could sense

someone there.

“It’s still here.” Gary was shocked.

Christina noticed something else. She turned to look at Rafael and asked, “Earl’s claws are poisonous.

Why is this white tiger still fine?”

Under the big tree directly in front of them, the poor wild boar which was scratched by Earl had died

there.

[It has a duty to guard this lake. ]

The Barbarian Matriarch walked to the lake by himself and scooped up some water, washing the fruit

juice off her body bit by bit. She really didn’t like the smell.

The Matriarch’s voice was hoarse. Apart from Rafael, Christina, and Samba, the others could not

understand what she said.

But when they saw what the Matriarch was doing, they felt surprised and asked, “What is she doing?

Does she want to die?”

If it weren’t for the fruit juice, they would have been killed by that large group of beasts just now.

“As long as we don’t touch the thing in the middle of the lake, the beasts won’t gather.” Christina

guessed, “This white tiger won’t attack people randomly.”

Everyone watched the old Matriarch wash all the fruit juice off her body. The white tiger was quite

smart. It just looked at her calmly without a roar, as if it had already known what she was doing.

Earl had already jumped into the lake. The cat’s sense of smell was already very sensitive. Now, its fur

was sticky and had a strange smell. Thanks to Christina, it felt terrible.

The white tiger was a little childish. When Earl jumped into the lake, the white tiger saw a black shadow

and immediately rushed over. Then, it opened its mouth to bite Earl.

Earl was not afraid of the big tiger at all. It raised its paws and scratched the tiger’s nose.

“How did you hurt your hand?” Christina looked at the burn on Patrick’s left hand and asked.

Charles and Gary were also confused, but Rafael interrupted first, “Is the Scepter in the middle of the

lake?”

Patrick nodded and said, “Yes.”

Rafael immediately got excited and asked, “Is it the part of the Scepter that belongs to the third island?”

“Judging from the length, they should be the two parts of the Scepter that we lost before.”

They were found again.

But what about the part of the Scepter of the third island? They had already suffered so much, but they

still had no clue.

“They are in the middle of the lake. We can only let her go.”

“No!” Patrick immediately refused.

Rafael glanced at the severe burn on Patrick’s left hand and sneered, “Patrick, I didn’t expect you to be

so stupid. The temperature of the Scepter is the same as that of lava from a volcano. You can’t touch it.

Except for the Strozzi family’s blood relatives, no one else can touch it.”

No matter how unwilling Christina was, she had to get into the water.

Patrick did this stupid thing because he knew what would happen after Rafael came out of the lake, sonovelbin

he tried it with his left hand.

How stupid!

Before Rafael and Patrick discussed it, they deliberately led Christina and Samba to the other side. But

from afar, Christina saw Patrick and Rafael arguing. She was not stupid. She glanced at the middle of

the lake.

“Don’t waste time. I’ll go down.”

Christina walked towards them and looked into Patrick’s eyes. She said, “We have no choice.” They

could only move on.

If there were other options, Patrick would rather continue to waste time.

They had so many strong men here, but they had to let a girl do such a dangerous thing, so they all

looked a little ashamed.

“You go to the bottom of the lake and get the Scepter back. By the way, observe what’s unusual under

the lake.” Rafael said in a commanding tone.

COM

“The sun is almost setting. She’ll go tomorrow.”

“Yes, what if those beasts rush over again when she touches the Scepter? It will be a big trouble.”

Christina stood by the lake and hesitated. Rafael suddenly kicked her butt despicably. Christina

screamed in shock and jumped into the lake.

Patrick was furious. He grabbed Rafael’s front collar and punched him with his right fist.

Rafael felt it was worth it to be punched. He urged fiercely, “Christina, hurry up!”

Patrick couldn’t really beat Rafael to death. After all, Rafael was so shameless.

“Christina, be careful!” Patrick could only shout to the lake.

With the sky getting dark, the whole lake looked as dark as a cave, but the solemn Scepter in the

middle of the lake still emitted a golden light.

As soon as Christina fell into the lake, the white tiger roared like a madman.

It was as if Christina was breaking its rule.

Different from Patrick, Christina could easily grab the Scepter when she swam to the middle of the lake.

She held her breath and stepped on the bottom of the lake with all her strength, trying hard to pull the

Scepter out.

The Scepter seemed to be tightly embedded at the bottom of the lake. Christina couldn’t pull it out

easily. At the same time, she felt that an invisible force shook and rippled around the Scepter like

waves. If she hadn’t grabbed the Scepter tightly, she would have been bounced off.

Unlike Patrick, Christina did not learn how to dive before, so she could hold her breath for at most five

minutes under the water.

Christina gritted her teeth and exerted her last strength. The stones at bottom of the lake began to

loosen and the Scepter moved slowly…

Patrick was even more nervous than before when he went into the water in person. He shouted, “Don’t

force yourself. Come up!”

Just as Patrick finished speaking, the familiar sounds of beasts galloping and ground shaking came

from the distant jungle…

And there were ripples on the surface of the lake.

The lake was bubbling as if the water was boiled.

Everyone was frightened. Even Rafael shouted, “Come up!”

But in the middle of the lake, there was no sign of Christina, and the shining Scepter disappeared in an

instant.

At the same time, the sound of the waterfall became clearer and clearer, like a real illusion.

Patrick couldn’t think anymore. He jumped into the lake and swam swiftly towards the middle of the

lake…
