Chapter 926Chapter 926 Red Spider Lilies
novelbinAfter sailing for a while, the cruise ship quickly arrived at the small island.
Although everyone had disembarked, the cruise ship remained anchored, for they only had one day’s
time. Whoever was able to retrieve Luminous Pearl and return to the ship would be declared the
winner.
Upon landing, Jared and his companions realized that it was a small island with scenery that blew them
away. The size did make sense, for if the island was too big, they wouldn’t be able to complete their
goal in a single day.
“Mr. Chance, the air here is so fresh that it feels great just breathing it in,” Shane remarked as he took a
deep breath greedily.
Instead, Jared furrowed his brows after taking a gentle sniff.
“Captain Walsh, tell the men to hold their breath and recycle the air within their bodies as they
advance,” Jared ordered.
Shane was stunned by Jared’s puzzling orders. Why do we need to hold our breath amidst such
pleasant air?
Despite his doubts, he complied with Jared’s instructions and ordered his men to do the same.
Fortunately, no one was below the level of a Grandmaster. Therefore, they were capable of recycling
the air within their body while holding their breath for a period of time.
“Andrew, get your men to hold their breaths.” Jared advised.“Jared, what’s going on? Did you notice something?” Andrew asked inquisitively.
“I can feel that there’s something wrong with the air as if someone had tampered with it,” Jared
explained with a frown.
“Tampered?” Andrew was briefly startled before breaking into a smile, “Jared, you’re being overly
cautious. Given how big the island is, it’s impossible for the air to be tampered with.”
Andrew didn’t believe Jared at all.
No one is capable of meddling with the air on the entire island. How is this even possible?
Since Andrew didn’t believe him, Jared didn’t force the issue. Instead, he continued to vigilantly monitor
the air on the island.
Meanwhile, Ichiro and his men marched swiftly toward the center of the island the moment they
disembarked.
Now that Jared and his team had fallen behind, they seized the opportunity to advance.
At the same time, Andrew and his men stuck closely to Jared, with no intention of hiding the fact that
they were in an alliance with each other.
As they moved deeper into the forest on the island, Jared grew increasingly troubled. And yet, he was
unable to put his finger on what it was. Thus, the only thing he could do was increase his vigilance.
As for Ichiro, he had led his men into the hinterland of the island. Right at the center, a bunch of pink
flowers was laid on the empty ground. There were three masked men in black cloaks chanting
continuously amidst the flowers releasing a pink mist into the air.When they saw Ichiro arrive, the cloaked men got up immediately and approached him, “Mr.
Watanabe.”
“What is the progress? Have you released the red spider lilies’ pollen throughout the entire island?”
Ichiro asked the three masked men.
“Mr. Watanabe, we have indeed filled the island with the pollen. However, so as to not arouse their
suspicions, we have released a lower concentration of it at the edges of the island,” one of the cloaked
men answered.
“Very good. You’ll be well rewarded when we get back.” Ichiro nodded in satisfaction.
“Thank you, Mr. Watanabe.” The three cloaked men knelt happily on the ground.
As for the warriors Ichiro brought with him, they reacted awkwardly upon learning that Ichiro had
released the red spider lilies’ pollen across the island.
After all, the pollen was extremely poisonous. They were capable of causing hallucinations and driving
their victims to insanity.
Given that Ichiro didn’t inform them of his plan ahead of time, all of them had inadvertently breathed in
the pollen.
When he saw the faces of his subordinates, Ichiro grinned. “I have the antidote here. Hence, it doesn’t
matter how much of it you have taken in.”
Just as he spoke, Ichiro cast a bunch of white powder at his men. In the blink of an eye, all of it was
breathed into his warriors’ stomachs.
