The true spring water

In the deathly silence, Lumian felt that the palm of his right hand was extremely hot, as if it was burned by fire.

He quickly took off his gloves, turned his palm, and found that the part eroded by Earthblood Ore had penetrated deep into his bones and flesh, and was bright red, sending waves of irritating and violent pain.

Other than that, there is nothing unusual at the moment.

In this situation, Lumian didn't bother to do a detailed inspection. He endured the coldness of his body and the "peace" of his thoughts, stepped back, and took stock of the situation of "Samaritan Woman Spring".

The blurry figures submerged in the water and the long black hair like Weeds have been sucked into the hole that even light cannot shine into. It is constantly shaking, and a fierce battle seems to be taking place inside.

Although the Corpse-like figure in white robes lingering around was not taken away by the Paleness spring water, it also disappeared, as if it had evaporated out of thin air.

This made Lumian suspect that he could meet That One's suspected high-ranking Witch somewhere else on the fourth floor, that is, a similar Change appeared in "Samaritan Woman Spring".

The scene in front of him suddenly gave Lumian a bold idea:

Since the terrifying figure was pulled back to the spring by a strange force, one struggled to resist, and the other tried his best to suppress it, and it seemed that there was no winner for a while, so it was better to remain vigilant, pause the escape, see if there was any way to make arrangements, and take some away while the Paleness spring water gushes out again.

There are neither "water ghosts" sinking at the bottom of the spring nor vague figures wandering around. It is the safest time!

The next second, Lumian saw "Hella" take out a small bottle made of gold. The bottle was engraved with many complex and mysterious symbols. They were very similar to those Lumian saw at the gate of "Highland Secret Potions" store Basement.

"Hella" did not wait for the spring water of Paleness to gush out again. He squatted down and pressed the mouth of the bottle to the soil at the edge.

The soil is dark. The closer you get to the dark holes, the more special it becomes, as if it contains countless colors. The further you go out, the more ordinary it becomes. When you reach the area where the spring water has not been immersed, it is completely close to the state of the slope itself.

At this time, because the Paleness spring water has shrunk into the dark hole, most of the dark soil surface has become dry, without any liquid, but the edge part is still a little wet, releasing some water droplets that are more solid than the Paleness spring water and closer to the color of the lake at night.

Seeing that "Hella" was targeting these liquids, Lumian asked in confusion, "You don't wait until 'Samaritan Woman Spring' comes out again?"

"Hella" shook his head:

"This is the real 'Samaritan Woman Spring' spring water. Those Paleness water flows are dangerous things that we cannot touch at all now. As long as you touch a little, you will die immediately and linger next to the spring water or sink near the spring eye forever. The containers we use are no exception."

So scary? Is "Samaritan Woman Spring" a derivative of the water flow of Paleness instead of the original body? Lumian also took out the Metal Vial he had prepared in advance and picked up the droplets of soil on the edge of the spring.

Just one drop, and his bottle showed signs of rust and corrosion caused by being soaked in water for a long time.

"Hella" said nothing, and took out another Golden Vial that was also engraved with a large number of complex symbols, and threw it to Lumian.

Lumian then successfully caught the dripping "Samaritan Woman Spring" spring water, and most of his attention was focused on the dark spring eye.

As soon as the Earthquake-like shaking stopped, he would immediately turn around and run wildly with the "Samaritan Woman Spring" spring water he had received!

One drop, two drops, three drops, the spring water entered Golden Vial in a state that was so slow that it seemed to stop at any time, and the one Lumian originally prepared became more and more rusty and broken.

Lumian Looking at the progress that cannot be accelerated, Paleness is worried that the spring water will gush out again.

He was affected by various negative factors and became manic in his heart.

So, he opened and closed his mouth and cursed all kinds of curse words silently to relieve the emotions in his heart.

Tick tock, tick tock, he only filled a third of the bottle of spring water when he saw "Hella" stop on its own initiative and screwed on the cap of Golden Vial.

Can't Greed...Lumian warned himself, and followed "Hella" to finish collecting the spring water from "Samaritan Woman Spring".

The two of them quickly ran to the top of the slope.

Not long after, the sound of rushing water came from behind them.

Paleness spring water gushes out of the dark hole again!

The two of them did not look back to see what was going on, and continued to run towards the outside of Grayish-White Fog, as if there was an invisible and terrifying Monster chasing after them.

In just a few seconds, the two finally came to the edge of the fog. Lumian grabbed "Hella"'s arm, stepped on it hard, and jumped out.

After leaving the area covered by Grayish-White Fog, Lumian finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the coldness in his body and the precipitation in his mind had improved a lot.

"Mental Piercing"!

Jenna's body emerged from the shadows, with two flashes of "electric light" in his eyes.

The man wearing Warlock robe heard the illusory cracking sound, and felt the strong Pain pouring out from Spirit Body Depths, occupying his brain.

He instinctively fell down and curled up, as if he wanted to relieve the pain in this way.

Franca didn't give him this chance and pointed the Mirror he took out just now at him.

As Commissioner dressed as Warlock was reflected in the mirror, black Flames ignited in Franca's palms and was wiped towards the glass surface.

Curse of Witch!

A stream of Black Flame suddenly emerged from the man's body, burning his still struggling Pain spirit to an extremely weak state.

Immediately afterwards, layers of crystal ice covered him, and the colorless Spider Silk circle after circle Entanglement revealed his form.

Franca intends to control the opponent, not kill him. After all, no one knows whether this guy is involved in any Corruption or high-level things. Reckless Spiritism can easily encounter accidents.

Seeing that the man had become very weak and was being heavily controlled, Franca was slightly surprised and whispered:

"That's it?"

She had no doubt that she and Jenna could defeat each other with a surprise attack, but she didn't expect it to be so easy and simple.

The next second, the man opened his mouth with difficulty under the triple control of black flames, ice and spider silk, and let out a weak voice:

"You are committing a crime!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Underground Depths seemed to be shaken violently. A stone from the top of Tunnel suddenly fell down and hit Jenna's head.

Jenna jumped forward and rolled to avoid, but was still hit twice by falling stones.

Franca is also in a similar situation. It feels like the entire Tunnel will collapse if it continues. Even if she has "Mirror Substitute", there is no guarantee that she can survive beyond this period of Tunnel.

She no longer hesitated, and shook her right hand, letting the remaining Black Flame in the Commissioner's body explode again.

Black Flame Burning Wearing Spirit Body, the man dressed as Warlock quickly lost his life.

The vibration of Tunnel then stopped, leaving only dust filling the air.

Franca breathed a sigh of relief, wasting no time, and quickly arranged Spiritism Ritual, Jenna rubbed his shoulders and back, and alerted the surroundings to prevent anyone from passing by.

After a while, Franca completed "Magic Mirror Spiritism", took the Mirror, looked at the blue-green and slightly arrogant face of Paleness and said, "How much do you know about the secret of Deep Valley Quarry?"

The man's spirit replied blankly, "Some people want to use machinery to extend life, and some people want to use machinery to gain life.

"Part of Deep Valley Monastery is slipping Abyss."

It's so vague, can't you be more detailed? Franca asked, "Which organization are you from, and why do you want to take advantage of Gatekeeper's disappearance?"

The man was about to answer when a layer of ever-changing fog suddenly filled the inside of the mirror.

Click!

Mirror in Franca's hand shattered instantly.

Bang!

The man's body wrapped in ice and "Spider Silk" exploded, and his flesh and blood turned into mist, covering the area.

Almost at the same time, Franca broke like Mirror, turning into pieces and falling to the ground.

Her figure was quickly outlined at the intersection of Tunnel and appeared next to Jenna.

"Sure enough, there is a problem." Franca looked solemnly at the shapeless blood mist, watching it gradually settle and merge into the earth.

At this time, the Corpse had turned into a puddle of flesh, and the items on it, except for those made of metal, were all reduced to debris.

Franca and Jenna searched briefly and found a Key made of brass and a Coins worth two to three hundred Felkine.

They didn't dare to stay any longer and left after cleaning up the traces.

About two or three minutes later, a pair of legs wearing knee-high brown boots appeared next to the pool of flesh and blood, holding a shrunken Golden kettle with a *picture*book wick in its hand.

The blazing Sunlight shone on Inferno Square's Catacombs entrance and on Lumian's body, making him feel as if he had returned from the kingdom of the dead to the world of the living, and the coldness in his body had been dissipated a lot.

He turned his head and looked at "Hella" whose face was still Paleness, with purple-red corpse spots and traces of decay that had not yet healed. He smiled and said, "Although there was no real battle, it was the closest I got to 'death'."

"Those who can retain their imprints in Paleness spring water for a long time are all great people in the past." "Hella" said simply.

Lumian walked towards the edge of Square and asked casually, "What is the use of 'Samaritan Woman Spring'? You can't really use it to forget Past and forget Pain, right?"

"Hella" shook his head:

"To me, it can be used to replace a Ritual, or in other words, become an important part of another Ritual."

Lumian didn't understand much and didn't ask further questions.

Soon, he discovered that the feeling of cold body and settled thoughts did not completely disappear just because he left Catacombs.

Most of them have been dispersed and they seem to have become part of themselves, slowly growing again at night.

"The abnormality in us is still there." Lumian reminded in a deep voice "Hella".

"Hella" nodded:

"I have a way to deal with it, and That One, who asked you to bring spring water, should also have a way."

Lumian said "Hmm", said goodbye to "Hella", and walked towards the Public Carriage site.

Rather than the slowly dying anomaly, he was more worried about the Earthblood Ore and the strange "rust" that had eroded into his palms.
