The entrance to the Holy Spring was in the central square of the city and was firmly locked by a large iron gate. Mousse took out the key and unlocked the chain wrapped around the iron gate. In front of him were ancient stone steps. Due to the perennial dampness, the stone steps were covered with moss and were very slippery. Obviously, no one often stepped on them.
Mousse turned on a switch, and the crystal inlaid at the top suddenly released light and heat, illuminating the depths of the passage.
"The God of the Holy Spring has always protected our city," Mousse said. "We are afraid that naughty children will disturb the God's rest, so we have locked up the Holy Spring. The people of the Glimmering Light Tribe can only go to the Holy Spring twice to take a bath and receive the God's blessing when they are born and when they die. You are our distinguished guests. During the time you live in the city, you can go to the Holy Spring freely."
Fo You frowned. "How does the spring protect you? Could it be that the spring can launch missiles or something? "
Mousse shook his head. "It's not the Holy Spring that protects us, but the God who lives in the Holy Spring protects us."
"You should have seen it when you came. Our city is crisscrossed by streams, and there is a six-meter-wide moat outside the city. Whenever an enemy invades, the God of the Holy Spring will move along the stream, go to the moat, and defeat the invading enemy."
"Since the establishment of our city, no invaders have been able to break into it. As long as we don't leave the city, we are very safe. As for outside the city, it is dark. The major tribes in the mezzanine area have become the territory of the fierce Lesser Dragons. Now, they and we are not interfering with each other because they know very well that invading the Holy Spring City will anger the God who lives under the spring."
Xia Fan nodded and sighed softly. "In other words, if there is no reconnaissance mission, the Glimmering Light Tribe can live a very long life because no external force can invade this city."
"It's like this," Mousse said.
"But when we entered the city, we were not attacked by the so-called God." Fo You was an atheist. He took out the spirit of getting to the bottom of the matter and continued to ask.
"I don't understand this either. Anyway, our God can easily distinguish between enemies and friends." Mousse smiled bitterly. "It's a pity that because of our strange appearance, we are regarded as heretics by the tribes in the mezzanine area, so we actually don't have many friends. If we want to talk about friends, the Demon Slayer Legion on the ground can barely be counted as one."
Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere was very awkward. Due to the existence of the absurd contract, no matter how they chatted, it was very easy for them to become speechless.
"Since it's a place where gods live, there should be some rules." Xia Fan broke the silence.
"There are a few, but all rules apply to people. Iron doors and chains can stop naughty children, but if the God of the Holy Spring wants to come out, no one can stop him."
"In reality, the God of the Holy Spring spends most of his time sleeping, but when he wakes up, he is like a naughty child, and he loves to play with other children. In short, nothing can be hidden from the God of the Holy Spring. He already knows that you are here, and if he decides to meet you, he will naturally appear. If he doesn't want to meet you, you will not be able to find him."
"Follow the stone steps all the way down, and you'll see the bathing pool. Here are some food and things you'll need for bathing. Please."
Mousse brought over a basket filled with food and water, as well as a few white bath towels, and then made a gesture of invitation.
Walking down the stone steps, Xia Fan soon saw the bathing pool. The pool was built with white marble, and the spring water was injected into the pool. There was another canal in the corner that led to deeper underground. The water after bathing would flow along the canal, and it would not pollute the water source.
The design was quite reasonable. There were small cubicles for changing clothes, overhead lights, changing racks for hanging bath towels, and everything else. Except for the fact that there were not many people, the huge pool seemed a little lonely.
Nicai found a small cubicle to change clothes, while Fu You and Xia Fan directly threw away their tattered combat suits, put on swimming trunks, and rushed into the pool.
Since every one of them had a Space Ring, it was not a problem for them to have a change of clothes and spare battle robes. It was just that they had been in a state of high tension the entire way, so they did not have much time to consider their appearance. As a result, they were dressed in dirty clothes.
* Splash *
Fu You slammed his butt into the pool, causing water to splash everywhere.
"So comfortable!" Fu You stood up, wiped his face, and said excitedly.
He and Xia Fan relaxed and floated in the pool with their faces facing the sky. The fatigue accumulated during the escape slowly disappeared, making them feel a little sleepy. They almost fell asleep in the smooth spring water.
At this time, perfect white slender thighs appeared in their sight. Her calves were slender, and her thighs were round. Her skin was whiter than snow, and her small feet were pink and delicate as if they were carved. They were as red as a baby's.
Xia Fan and Fu You, who were originally very relaxed, immediately became nervous. Humans were really strange creatures. They had always been known for their boldness and recklessness, and they had killed countless people. However, these two guys, who were almost outlaws, actually showed fear in front of Nicai, who was wearing a swimsuit. They really did not know how to explain it.
Perhaps things that were too perfect naturally had a sense of sacredness, and people could not bear to desecrate them.
Nicai's face also turned red. She quickly got into the pool, then curled up in the corner with her hands around her thighs. Only her nose and eyes were exposed, and the rest of her body was submerged in the water.
"Here, wipe your face." Xia Fan took out a tissue from nowhere and handed it to Fu You.
Fu You's face and neck were red, and he was sweating profusely. After taking the tissue, he wiped his forehead.
"I'm not wiping your sweat. I'm wiping your nose. It's bleeding," Xia Fan said.
Fu You was embarrassed and wanted to find a hole to hide in.
Little Buddha had seen all kinds of things in his life, but he couldn't help having a nosebleed in front of Nicai. It was so embarrassing, so embarrassing.
But how could he not be excited?
As a man with normal physiological functions, it would be abnormal for him to be indifferent when he saw a goddess like Nicai in a swimsuit, showing off her perfect, mural-like curves.
Fo You quickly wiped off the blood from his nose and began to swim in the pool. Although he was slightly plump, his body was strong like a nimble fat fish. He paddled the water continuously with both hands and reached the end of the pool in no time.
"It turns out that there is a canal here, and the pool inside is bigger. I'll go in and have a look," Fu You said.
Xia Fan knew that Fu You felt embarrassed and wanted to find an excuse to escape, so he ignored him and said to Nicai, "It seems that we have to stay here for a few days. After all, we are not made of iron, and we need to rest a little."
"In addition, the information about the Glimmer Clan is very valuable to us. It is necessary to investigate the tribes in the mezzanine area and see if they have contact with the demons, or if they have reached some kind of agreement in private."
"Do you remember that the Flaming Devil King, Stanley, once said that the reason why he appeared on the first floor was because he had to carry out a mission. He and the Flaming Soul left the demon palace after they woke up, leaving the second son of the Flaming Soul there alone. I suspect that Stanley has been to the mezzanine area."
"After all, the sudden collapse of the North Sea is strange no matter how you think about it. If there is a path leading to the mezzanine area under Stanley's demon palace, everything can be explained."
"Perhaps Stanley felt that blowing up the demon palace was too easy for us, so he used a more cruel method to destroy the supporting structure between the North Sea and the mezzanine area, causing the North Sea to sink. In this way, not only will we die, but Godea and the others who are left on the sea will also suffer a heavy blow."
"So far, these are only my speculations. We need to go deep into the major tribes here to understand the truth. Let's do it the day after tomorrow. Once we finish our rest, we will immediately investigate the mezzanine area. By then, your task may be more important than it is now."
"After all, Stanley has planted the seed of darkness in Fu You. Although I didn't say anything, I clearly saw that the injury on Fu You's shoulder is getting worse."
In the end, Xia Fan's voice became low, as if he was shrouded in some kind of sadness. Fu You was his best friend, and his best friend was slowly being swallowed by the darkness. Xia Fan must be feeling very bad.
Ni Cai stared at Xia Fan without blinking. Although this bare-chested man in front of her was thin, the lines of his muscles were extremely sharp, as if they were carved by a carving knife. She could imagine that he must have trained harder than anyone else since he was young.
Ni Cai admired his high-speed thinking and keen insight. In a casual manner, Xia Fan connected the information about the mezzanine area with his encounter in the North Sea. Although it was just speculation, his logic was impeccable. This kind of commander-level tactical accomplishment was usually not something a person of his age should have.
When talking about Fu You, Xia Fan couldn't help but reveal his true feelings. A truly powerful warrior not only needed to kill decisively, but also to be affectionate and loyal. If a warrior had no feelings, he would just be a killing machine.
Women were emotional creatures who liked to compare. Ni Cai couldn't help but compare Xia Fan with Dongfang He, Jia Yuntian, and even her father. The result of the comparison was that Xia Fan was not inferior in other aspects, except that he was not from the Demon Slayer family. Thinking of the time when she was alone, it was Xia Fan's voice that accompanied her all the time. His words were witty and his judgment was accurate. Ni Cai's eyes gradually burned.
"F * ck! How dare you talk back to me. See if I don't stab you to death! "
"Yo, you're quite strong. Don't run if you have the guts. I'm not done with you."
Fu You's voice came from afar. Xia Fan looked over and saw Fu You's body tensed up like a bull competing with strength. His shoulders were lowered, and his head was in front of him.
In this posture, Fo You was slowly pushed out of the canal by a force. It seemed that the other party's strength was greater than Fo You's. Fo You had already used all his strength, except for not using the War Buddha's Golden Light. His face and skin were flushed red.
Xia Fan remained vigilant and slowly stood up.
