However, all Debra could think of was entering the igneous rocks jungle as soon as possible to find the poison-neutralizing spring. She did not notice it was a formation.
At that time, Scitalis piped up, acting caringly and sincerely, "The spring is in the middle of the igneous rocks jungle. Hurry and go drink the spring water. I'll stand guard to keep an eye if any monsters are coming."
Debra and Rachelle naively nodded and entered, quickly searching for the spring but failing. Subsequently, their exquisite faces looked puzzled.
"Scitalis!" After searching for another round and failing, Rachelle yelled out at Scitalis, who was outside, "Where's the spring that you mentioned?"
"Hahaha…" It was then they saw Scitalis standing on a huge rock outside of the igneous rock jungle, his queer-looking face contorting hideously in self-gratification. "It wasn't easy to trick both of you into getting here.
"You can stop searching. There is no spring in there, and both of you aren't poisoned. I was just scaring both of you! Hehehehe!"
Excitement filled Scitalis' eyes. How could he not be excited to be in total control after the two beautiful women entered the formation?
What? With the sudden turn of events, Debra and Rachelle's expressions changed. Only then did they realize they were tricked. Their irritation flared.
Rachelle gripped her longsword tightly and stared angrily at Scitalis from within the igneous rock jungle. "How dare you lie to us?!"
'What a treacherous man! He acted all sincere when he was lying!' she seethed internally.
Concurrently, Debra also understood what happened. She shouted while looking at Scitalis, "You're not a member of the Hidden Hero Sect, are you?"
If Scitalis was, he would not think hard to trick her. She was, after all, the current Sect Master of the Hidden Hero Sect.
"You…" Rachelle's body trembled and looked at Debra suspiciously. "You know how to break the formation?"
Although they had fought Master Magaera together and fallen into this abyss together, they did not understand each other despite going through thick and thin. Rachelle was surprised to see Debra had a deep knowledge of the art of formation.
From where Rachelle came from, the Cryolet Continent had lost the knowledge of the art of the formation for a thousand years.
Debra smiled when she saw how shocked Rachelle looked. "Of course! Follow me."
Three steps to the front, five steps to the right, two steps to the southwest, and six steps to the northeast…
Debra murmured the formula to break the formation in her heart as she headed in the direction of the Gate of Life.
