Chapter 535
In the boundless desert, one could only see yellow sand.
The castle appeared suddenly, and a lake was in front of them. The sparkling spring water looked cool and comfortable under the scorching sunlight.
The subordinates felt an itch in their hearts just by looking at it. They were tempted to jump in and bath to relieve the heat and heat in the desert.
Richard did not stop them.
A few of his subordinates rushed forward happily and plunged into the lake.
In the next second, the subordinates fell into the desert with their heads facing the yellow sand.
Sidney and Garry smiled unsurprisingly.
The unlucky subordinates crawled out on their own. Their faces were covered in dust, and they ate a lot of soil when they plunged in They looked pitiful and comical.
“What about the lake?”
They turned and saw that the lake was gone. So was the castle.
There was only yellow sand in front of them. It was still an endless desert.
There was no end in sight.
The subordinates were stunned for a moment. They patted the sand off their faces and surprisingly said, “This is… a mirage?”
“That’s right,” said Tiffany, raising his eyebrow.
A mirage is an illusion created by the refraction of a distant object.
The scene in front of them was fake but wasn’t completely fake.
At the very least, it meant the real ancient castle did exist. If they followed the path forward, they would always find traces of Felix.
“Keep going,” said Richard, waving his hand.
His men immediately got on the camels‘ backs.
Strings of footprints appeared in the desert and were gradually covered by the constant blowing of the sand. Back and forth, over and over again. Time here was long, and it was even easy to lose one’s direction.
Fortunately, Garry had a great sense of direction. He was so sharp that he did not need to rely on a compass.
With a thought, Tiffany finally understood why Richard wanted to bring Garry and Sidney along.
Richard could do anything with half the effort with such a special–ability person by his side.
The group headed in the direction Garry pointed.
It was not until more than an hour later that the camels, which had been walking well, suddenly stopped and refused to leave.

The camels were extremely survivable in the desert. Meanwhile they could immediately it if there was any hidden danger.
Now all the camels in the team had stopped and refused to leave, which meant danger was waiting for them ahead…
Tiffany was the first to jump off the camel’s back. Then, she walked to the front to check.
In the gentle sand not far ahead, something seemed to be squirming. A large ball was hidden in the yellow sand, arching into a thick piece, as if it was about to break out of the ground at any moment.
Tiffany turned around and shouted, “Look, what’s that?”
Richard walked over. He only glanced at it and frowned slightly. “Insects.”
It was rumored there was a kind of black and red Insect in the desert. Not only did it suck human blood, but it could also eat humans when there were many of them.
Legend had it that the kind of insect was extremely poisonous. If one was bitten, their whole body would be allergic, and in serious cases, they would be poisoned.
When Tiffany heard that, she raised her eyebrows slightly and said, “Insects? There are really insects here?”
When she first heard that, she thought Richard was deliberately lying to her. She did not expect there to be insects here. Looking at the bulging sandbag, God knew how many insects were hidden inside.
If there were more of them, the density would be terrifying enough.
Tiffany touched her arm and took an empty water bottle to fill it with sand. Then, she threw it at the bulging ball.
Her actions shocked Garry and Sidney.
“Don’t!” they shouted.
‘Why did she still provoke them since she knew those were poisonous insects? Just by looking at the height of the bulge, she/ knew there were a lot of insects. Didn’t her throwing cause trouble?‘ thought Garry and Sidney.
Garry and Sidney were so frightened that they immediately stopped Tiffany, but it was too late.
Tiffany’s bottle filled with sand had fallen.
It landed squarely on the bulging ball.
Garry and Sidney immediately retreated in fear. They did not forget to pull Richard and said, “Richard, leave quickly!”
Richard didn’t even move.
He stood quietly beside Tiffany and watched her actions. His posture was indulgent and doting. He had no intention of stopping Tiffany.
‘An incompetent ruler!‘ thought Garry and Sidney.
Garry and Sidney looked at each other. They gritted their teeth and could only stop retreating.
Then the bulge in the sand was broken by Tiffany’s bottle, revealing what was inside.
As expected, they were all black and red insects! They looked a little like scorpions with stingers and tentacles.
Its entire body was filled with poison.
What would happen if one was bitten?

The moment their heads came into contact with the sunlight, these insects opened their tentacles and seemed to sense the aura of a living creature. They followed the smell and rushed toward them.
They came in all directions.
The densely packed black, red insects alarmed all the subordinates.
“Be careful, protect Mr. Hampton and Mrs. Hampton.”
One of Richard’s subordinates shouted. Then, the others stepped forward and prepared to protect Richard and Tiffany as they retreated.

Tiffany was unusually calm from the beginning to the end. Upon seeing that, she calmly took a glass bottle from her pocket. Then, she slowly opened the seal and poured the liquid in the glass bottle onto the ground.
The yellow sand immediately absorbed the transparent liquid.
However, as it absorbed it, a faint green smoke floated out.
Richard moved his body, and a gust of wind sent the green smoke toward the insects.
When the insects came into contact with the smoke, all insects seemed to have encountered something terrifying and immediately retreated in the opposite directions. Some were slower and twitched twice before lying on the ground without moving.
In the blink of an eye, the insect infestation that was just in danger had now been repelled by a glass bottle potion from Tiffany.
Garry and Sidney looked at each other and bowed. “What is this? Tiffany, do you still have it? I want it…”
“I want it, too!”
If they had the potion, they would not have to be afraid no matter what disgusting insects they encountered later.
If it didn’t work out, it wouldn’t be bad to use it to keep the mosquitoes away.
Tiffany laughed and agreed readily. “When we return, I’ll give each of you a bottle.”
Miracle’s medicine was priceless.
Tiffany was generous.
Garry and Sidney nodded crazily and flattered her. “Thank you, Tiffany. You are generous!”
Tiffany laughed and shook her head. “Let’s go. Otherwise, it will be dark again.”
The group continued forward.
Without the attack of the poisonous ants just now, the rest of the journey was much smoother.
Garry determined the direction according to the location. The group rode on the camels for over an hour before they saw a real villa at the edge of the desert and the lake in front of them.
