Chapter 1396

Chapter 1396: Chapter 1396: Encountering the Green Organism Again_1 Chapter 1396: Chapter 1396: Encountering the Green Organism Again_1 Mr. Trivett's face changed slightly as he shook his head hurriedly, “It has nothing to do with her, absolutely nothing!”

But how could Mr. Trivett's emotional shift escape the eyes of the First Elder? He quickly realized that there was an inescapable connection between this matter and Simona.

“I advise you to tell me the truth,” the First Elder said coldly.

“Even if you don't speak, I can go to Gowinston City and arrest people immediately!”

Mr. Trivett didn't know what to do; he promised Ethan Smith not to involve Simona, but the current circumstances were beyond his control.

“Fine, you don't have to say anything, I'll investigate myself,” the First Elder said coldly.

“But let me tell you, once I find out, Simona will have to die! This is your last chance!”

After leaving these words, the First Elder turned and left.

“Wait!”

Finally, Mr. Trivett couldn't bear it anymore.

He gritted his teeth and said, “Then you have to swear that you will never harm her!”

Although Mr. Trivett had limited abilities, he also understood the importance of cultivators' realm.

The First Elder agreed without even thinking, “I swear, I will not harm her! Ethan Smith is my target, not her.”

Hearing this, Mr. Trivett was slightly relieved. He immediately recounted the events to the First Elder.

After listening, the First Elder slightly narrowed his eyes.

“He actually dared to come to Gowinston City…it seems he already knows the news,” the First Elder said coldly.

As a prominent figure in the Cloud Sect, the First Elder was extremely clear-headed and quickly inferred Ethan Smith's intentions.

Taking a deep breath, the First Elder said, “Alright, I understand. You can go now.”

Mr. Trivett, still worried, said, “Just don't go looking for Simona. I promised her!”

“Don't worry,” the First Elder waved his hand.

After sending Mr. Trivett away, a trace of anger appeared on the First Elder's face.

He said coldly, “Once I find out, none of you will escape!”

On the other side, Ethan Smith followed Wilbur deeper into the cave.

The deeper they walked, the more familiar the feeling Ethan Smith sensed.

“Is it that thing?”

At this moment, Drexel in his mind suddenly exclaimed.

Ethan Smith replied, “What do you mean?”

Drexel remained silent, ignoring Ethan Smith's inquiries.

As they got closer and closer to their destination, their surroundings began to blur.

This feeling of blurriness made people think it was fog, but it felt extremely dense when inhaled.

At this moment, Ethan Smith confirmed his guess.

This atmosphere was exactly the same as the one he encountered in the Sunilope City Mountain Range! It was the atmosphere the locals called demonic qi!

“Wilbur, is there anything guarding near the Water of Life?” Ethan Smith asked.

Wilbur grunted, “It should be the Guardian Beast.”

“What does it look like?” Ethan Smith inquired.

Wilbur spoke solemnly, “Its body is shrouded in fog, making it impossible to see clearly. All I know is that its body is huge, and it gives off immense pressure.”

Ethan Smith took a deep breath and whispered, “It really is that thing.”

“You know of it?” Wilbur looked at Ethan Smith in surprise.

Ethan Smith nodded, “Although I don't know its origin, I've seen it before.”

The atmosphere here was not as concentrated, indicating that the green organisms were not numerous here.

However, Ethan Smith couldn't figure out if these green creatures were born from this atmosphere or if this atmosphere is emitted from their bodies.

That cold, subconscious feeling made even Ethan Smith feel frightened.

“Could the Life Aura and this atmosphere be related?” Ethan Smith thought in his heart.

Water of Life accompanying green organisms in these caves and in Sunilope City must have some connection.

“Where does the Life Aura come from exactly…” Ethan Smith couldn't figure it out.

Not only Ethan Smith but also Drexel had no idea about it.

They only knew the effect of the Life Aura, not the origin of it.

Wilbur's pace slowed as they were getting closer.

The atmosphere around them grew thicker.

“You wait here for me,” Ethan Smith said to Wilbur.

Wilbur frowned, “That Guardian Beast is extremely powerful. I almost died in its hands. If I hadn't run fast, I might have already become a corpse now. You…”

“I know,” Ethan Smith interrupted Wilbur.

Taking a deep breath, he directly activated the Fifth Layer of the Character fighting formula.

Although there were no fluctuations in spiritual power within Ethan Smith's body, Wilbur could still feel the immense pressure emanating from him.

“Character fighting formula?” Drexel was even more surprised.

“Be careful using this secret technique, if someone notices it, it might cause chaos,” Drexel said.

Ethan Smith nodded, activated his desolate divine eye, and looked deep into the cave.

A giant figure quickly appeared in his field of vision.
