"Hm?"
Having successfully set foot in the Hanging Gardens, Fang Li turned his head and looked around.
A mist was slowly spreading through the air, filling the surroundings without warning.
This mist was neither white nor frost-colored, but a chilling blend of purple and green.
"Hiss..."
An unusual sound began to rise from all around.
It was the sound of the flowers and grass on the ground withering rapidly the instant they touched the poisonous gas, as though they had been burned away, before turning into drifting ash.
Seeing this, there was no need to guess what it was.
"Poison?"
After all, his opponent was the Oldest Poisoner. It was hardly strange for her to use poison.
Moreover, this poison was far beyond the mist used by Jack the Ripper, which merely eroded the human body and claimed the lives of ordinary people. A Magus could resist it somewhat, while a Servant would only suffer a one-rank decrease in Agility.
The poison wielded by this Empress, whose Mystery rivaled even Karna, one of the top one or two Heroic Spirits—unless one possessed poison resistance, it could probably kill even a Servant.
At this moment, perhaps the atmosphere throughout the entire Hanging Gardens had already been mixed with deadly poison.
As long as one tried to enter this place, being poisoned was simply unavoidable.
"Even Ophelia's poison probably can't compare to Semiramis's."
With that thought in mind, Fang Li calmly took out the highest-grade Antidote Magic Potion from the Fairy's Cloth Bag and poured it into his mouth.
