"Underworld Blood Lake?" Ling Chen stared in surprise.
"Mm, it's only four words this time, and it should be the name of a place. Also, it sounds like a very scary place. " Seeing Ling Chen's reaction, Su 'Er asked, "Big brother Ling Tian, have you been there before?"
"No," Ling Chen shook his head, "However, I've heard of that place and roughly know where it is."
"Really? That's great, "Su 'Er said as she let out a small sigh of relief and smiled.
Even though he knew where the Underworld Blood Lake was, Ling Chen still frowned, unable to feel happy at all. Back then, when he had bought the Seven Leaf Grass, Psychic Flower, and Underworld God Mysterious Blood Iron from Qian Gungun, he had heard of the Underworld Blood Lake for the first time. Afterwards, Qi Yue had told him about the Underworld Blood Lake in detail because it was related to the Demon Hope Soul.
The Underworld Blood Lake was located in the depths of the Underworld, and it was one of the three forbidden areas of the Underworld. Unless one had the Underworld King's permission, no living creature could come near it. The Underworld Blood Lake had existed for even longer than the Underworld Realm had existed, and there were countless skeletons of dead creatures buried within it. After tens of thousands of years, even the Underworld King didn't know how many skeletons there were and how much power had been gathered within. From this, one could imagine how terrifying that place was.
"Then … big brother Ling Tian, are you going to leave to find the Underworld Blood Lake again?" Su 'Er asked as she looked up.
"Mm," Ling Chen said as he nodded.
"Then, will it take a long time again?" Su 'Er's voice became softer.
"I don't know. Maybe it'll be very soon, or maybe it'll be very long … however, I promise that I won't turn off my communication device this time, so you can call me at any time. Plus, I have a Spatial Orb, so when I get tired, I can come back at any time, "Ling Chen said as he smiled. However, he knew that it would be much more difficult to find the God Orb this time … because it was the Underworld, a place that even the 3 Goddesses of the Moon Deities did not dare to go near. Moreover, the Underworld Blood Lake was at the bottom of the Underworld, and it was a forbidden area. In order to go there, one would have to pass through the entire Underworld … this was much more difficult than climbing the Godchild Peak.
After finding out where the next Lunar Scourge Orb was, Ling Chen didn't want to waste any time. He didn't immediately tell everyone that he was about to leave. Instead, he went to the Elf Clan's residence and found the little elf Cai 'er.
"Cai 'Er, take me to the Fairy Realm." Ling Chen told Cai' Er about his goal. After the Fairy Clan had moved out of the Fairy Realm, in order to prevent other creatures from breaking through the Bewildering Formation and entering, Granny Witherwood had set up a new Fairy Barrier around the Fairy Realm. Only Fairies or Fairies could enter.
"I want to see Shui Ruo …" Granny Witherwood said in a daze.
"I want to see Shui Ruo …" Ling Chen said somewhat absent-mindedly. He had not seen Shui Ruo for a long time. He missed Shui Ruo's voice and smile. However, after sinking Shui Ruo into the Fairy Fountain, he had never gone to see her … it wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he didn't dare to. This was because there was a lifeless Shui Ruo in the Fairy Fountain. Every second that he looked at her was a second of heart-wrenching pain.
However, at this moment, he couldn't resist the longing. At the same time, he needed Shui Ruo to give him the motivation to pass through the dangerous Underworld.
After returning to the Fairy Forest and passing through the Bewildering Formation, Ling Chen followed Cai 'Er through the Fairy Barrier and returned to the Fairy Realm. As his heart beat wildly, he floated above the Fairy Fountain, and looked down with trembling eyes. He finally saw the figure that appeared in his dreams every day.
She didn't look like she had lost her life, but rather like she was in a deep sleep. Even in a deep sleep, she was still as beautiful as ever. She silently laid there. She was sleeping very peacefully, as if she was a princess of the sea who had been cursed, waiting for her prince to wake her up.
Ling Chen silently looked at her, and gradually became dazed. His eyes seemed to forget how to blink, and he just stared at her. Cai 'Er floated by his side, looking at him for a while, then looking at the girl sleeping in the Fairy Fountain. She obediently didn't make a sound. However, when she looked at Ling Chen, she couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow.
Hovering in the air above the Fairy Fountain, Ling Chen could no longer feel time pass. Only after a long time did he finally close his eyes, which had become misty …
Ruo Ruo, wait for me, I'll wake you up soon, very soon … wait for me …
The moment he closed his eyes and turned around, a teardrop that had been accumulating in his eyes for a long time was silently squeezed out and fell into the calm Fairy Fountain, creating a small splash.
"Cai 'Er, let's go."
Just as Ling Chen finished speaking, before Cai 'Er could reply, he suddenly felt a strange flow of air condense in front of him. Following this, a jade-green light suddenly shined out from the Fairy Fountain and shot into the sky.
"Ah!! What … What is this? Why is it suddenly glowing?! "The sudden appearance of this light gave Cai 'Er a big fright, and she cried out in shock.
If even Cai 'Er didn't know, then Ling Chen definitely wouldn't know what was happening. Under Ling Chen and Cai 'Er's shock, the originally calm Fairy Fountain suddenly began to ripple, and an abnormal sound came from the bottom of the Fairy Fountain, as if something was restlessly moving.
"Could there be something living under the Fairy Fountain?" Ling Chen exclaimed. The ripples in the Fairy Fountain became more and more intense, making it impossible for him to see what was happening under the water, nor could he see Shui Ruo's figure.
"No … No way, how could there be something under the Fairy Fountain … Ahhh! What's going on! "Cai 'Er was even more panicked than Ling Chen. After all, the Fairy Fountain was the most important and sacred thing to the Fairy Clan.
With a "pop", a jade-green sprout burst out of the water, appearing in front of Ling Chen and Cai 'Er, causing their mouths to drop.
"What is that!" Cai 'Er pointed at the sprout and yelled in shock.
How should I know! Ling Chen fiercely replied to her in his heart. He frowned as he looked at the abnormal Fairy Fountain, his gaze locked onto the sprout that had suddenly burst out of the water … and this wasn't all, it was only the beginning.
After the sprout burst out of the water, it quickly grew at an unbelievable rate. From a few centimeters, it quickly grew to a dozen centimeters, then half a meter, one meter, two meters … As it grew, it unfurled its branches, and tender leaves began to appear on the branches. As they grew, they became densely packed. Following this, the branches took shape, and as they grew, they became thicker and thicker. The beam of green light that shot up into the sky also became deeper and thicker as the green tree grew.
Ling Chen and Cai 'Er's jaws dropped as they watched the sprout grow higher and higher … it wasn't as if Ling Chen had never seen something like this before. However, that was a fantasy scene simulated in a sci-fi movie. At this time, it was happening in front of his eyes, less than five meters away from him. The visual impact was not the same at all.
Ling Tian City.
All of the Fairies simultaneously sensed something, and they all turned to look in the direction of the Fairy Realm. The younger Fairies all looked quite confused, while the older Fairies sensed a mysterious aura of Nature, and when they saw the jade-green light in the sky, their bodies trembled in excitement.
"This … This … This … Could it be …"
Granny Witherwood, who normally didn't show herself, stared in the direction of the Fairy Realm with tears in her eyes. Chief Greenwood rushed over and excitedly yelled, "Mother, this feeling … could it be …"
"Let's hurry back!!"
Granny Witherwood raised her walking stick, and a green light flashed as she and Greenwood teleported back to the Fairy Fountain.
When Granny Witherwood and Greenwood returned to the Fairy Fountain, the jade-green tree that had burst out of the water had stopped growing. The fully grown tree was more than a meter thick and ten meters tall. The dense foliage covered more than half of the Fairy Fountain, not allowing any light to pass through. The jade-green light also disappeared, but the tree trunk and leaves continued to flash with a dream-like jade-green light. From time to time, green stars would float up from the branches and leaves, surrounding the green trees and gently floating in the air above the Elven Fountain, creating a hazy and illusory scene.
Through the calm surface of the water, Shui Ruo was still peacefully sleeping, and her position had not changed at all. This caused Ling Chen to let out a sigh of relief, and he looked at the tree that had suddenly grown out of the Fairy Fountain in shock. Suddenly, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and he turned to look at Cai 'Er. He suddenly saw that her body was flashing with the same jade-green light as the tree. Cai 'Er's expression was also quite strange as she stared at the jade-green tree, her eyes filled with confusion.
"Fairy … Tree … It's really … the Fairy Tree!"
The walking stick in Granny Witherwood's hand fell to the ground, and Granny Witherwood excitedly cried out as she knelt to the ground with a 'putong' sound, tears streaming down her face. Beside her, Greenwood's fists were tightly clenched, and his entire body trembled as he stared at the jade-green tree. The excitement in his eyes made it seem as if he had seen a god of nature descend.
"A Fairy Tree?" Ling Chen looked at the tree again, feeling even more confused. From Greenwood and Granny Witherwood's reactions, this Fairy Tree was incredibly important to the Fairy Clan, and its status was no less than that of the Fairy Fountain. It seemed that the Fairies had been waiting for the Fairy Tree to appear … but why had it suddenly grown out now?
This … shouldn't have anything to do with him, right?
