Jay looked around the unfamiliar area. The place had steep elevations and verdant jungles. He would occasionally see a farmhouse or two, and the entire area had a very sparse population. The depressing part was that it was impossible to choose a faster transportation method on such rugged mountain roads.

On top of everything, Cole suddenly exclaimed, "My phone lost its signal."

Sir Ares and Zayne checked their phones immediately only to find that they had lost cell reception as well.

The Ghost members hurriedly inspected all their advanced communication equipment before coming to the same conclusion. "The compass has stopped working as well as all the other communication equipment."

Zayne placed his arms on his hips and lamented," What kind of f*cking deserted place is this?!"

Jay looked around, his handsome face looking extremely gloomy. He wanted to ask the locals for directions.

If no one could show them the way, there was a higher chance of them getting lost. It would only result in

them wasting a lot of time.

"Find someone to ask for directions," ordered Jay.

Zayne pointed toward a household halfway up the mountain. Strictly speaking, it was impossible to be sure if anyone was living up there but he could vaguely see a faint wisp of smoke. He said, "It looks like a house. But it seems so far away from us."

Jay immediately walked forward without saying another word.

The others quickly followed closely behind him.

Only Zayne was complaining. "Big Brother, I don't think that it's near. The mountain road is spiraling upward, so it's simply too far from us."

Zayne continued to display his chatterbox characteristics the whole way, and everyone was simply disinclined to pay any attention to him. The only person who would occasionally respond to him was Cole. "You have to believe that Sir Ares' IQ is definitely not lower than yours. Do you truly think he hasn't thought it all through?"

Zayne said, "Your words are very insulting right now, Yorks. What do you mean his IQ is not lower than mine?"

Everyone was quite taken aback by Zayne's brazen self-righteousness and turned around to look at him.

Zayne sighed and muttered, "Fine, he's smarter than m e. But everyone will still stumble sometimes, so aren't all of you afraid that he'll sometimes be muddleheaded?" Cole had the same viewpoint as Sir Ares and said," Finding someone to ask for directions is our only choice at the moment. Otherwise, there's nothing else for us to do." Sir Ares berated Zayne, "Can you shut your mouth? Save some of our water supply."

Zayne was dumbfounded.

"You're being too much. There's plenty of water in the mountains, so I won't steal any water from you anyway," Zayne continued capriciously, "I'll talk when

I want to talk, or it'll get boring."

Sir Ares said, "The only water resources here are natural ones that haven't been filtered. Do you dare to drink it?"

Zayne picked up a wet leaf and licked the water droplets on top of it, saying, "Why don't I?"

Sir Ares was at a loss and decided to ignore the guy.

Not long after, Zayne gradually became more silent.

The team had been quiet for quite some time. It was too quiet that Jay suddenly realized that something was wrong. Then, he immediately turned his head to look at Zayne. "Why are you suddenly so quiet?"

Zayne pointed his finger at his tongue and Sir Ares noticed that his tongue had turned green.

Zayne made eye contact without saying a word and frantically tried to use sign language.

'I've been poisoned. My tongue is numb. Please take a look at it.'

Jay furiously barked, "I don't understand you."

Then, he turned around and continued to walk ahead.

Zayne went forward to tug on him and Sir Ares retorted, "I asked you to talk less, yet you wouldn't listen. I said not to drink any random water, but you refused to listen again. Have you learned your lesson now? Why are you coming to me now that you're poisoned and have turned mute?"
