"We have to thank Senior Peng for helping us this time. Without him, we wouldn't have been able to get the Life Spring. Thus, I suggest that Senior Peng take the water and leave first." Bloodsucker stopped them and said.
Indeed, the Life Spring was right in front of them, and the rising tide couldn't be delayed. Who didn't want to take the water and leave? Although the Yakshas were anxious, they knew they had to thank Ye Kong. Thus, they nodded in agreement.
However, to their surprise, Ye Kong waved his hand. "It's okay. You guys take it first. I'll be the last."
The Yakshas were touched. What a good man! He was so courteous at this time. He was definitely a good and pure man.
Since 'Senior Peng' had said so, the Yakshas scrambled to take their little bottles. Every time someone took five drops, the others immediately pushed him away. Then, the one who took the bottle carefully put it away and left the cave abode.
Ye Kong took the initiative to stay until the end. Bloodsucker and Dragon Seven were the most upset. Because Ye Kong had come with them, if Ye Kong didn't leave, they couldn't leave either.
The two exchanged looks. Finally, Soulseeker couldn't hold it anymore. He sent a voice transmission to Peng Yunshan. "Elder Peng, we are in a critical situation right now. The Spring of Life is so slow. If you use your power, you might not be able to return to the 9000th level!"
"Don't worry, I have my own plans." Ye Kong had an unhurried look on his face.
Bloodsucker thought, You're not worried, but we are!
Ye Kong seemed to know what Bloodsucker and Dragon Seven were thinking, so he said, "You guys take it first and leave. Later, I'll go up and meet you at the secret agents' level."
Seeing Ye Kong's attitude, Bloodthirsty Soul and Dragon Seven didn't say anything else. They hurried to take the Life Fountain, nodded to Ye Kong, and told him to take care. Then, they left together.
Actually, Ye Kong was well aware of what these two people were planning.
Since they were in a hurry to get back, it wasn't convenient for them to take more. But on the way back, they would have a different plan. If he killed a few of his own people and snatched the vial, wouldn't he get even more?
Moreover, there was an advantage to leaving first. He could find a place to set up an ambush.
When they first came down, there were more than a hundred people. When they finally reached this point, including Ye Kong, there were a total of twenty people. However, the number of people who could truly return to the 9000th floor and above was probably less than ten! This was the cruel world. You could either climb up by stepping on the bones of others, or become the bones under the feet of others!
Looking at those Yakshas hurriedly fetching water, Ye Kong's heart was filled with endless emotions. However, Ye Kong wouldn't remind them. After all, they weren't humans.
Five drops of water. Although it seemed like a small amount, the speed at which it seeped through the crack was too slow! Five drops was quite a waste of time.
By the time all the Yakshas had finished collecting the water, some time had passed.
"Senior Peng, please be careful." After the last Yaksha finished collecting the water, he bade farewell to Ye Kong and prepared to leave.
Ye Kong looked at this young yaksha. He was the weakest among them, and he was quite polite to him. He couldn't help but kindly remind her, "Be careful on the way back, there are people leaving ahead …"
Unexpectedly, that Yaksha was quite smart. He smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Senior Peng. However, they probably won't be lying in ambush on the way back, because it's definitely too late to go back now. Even if a deity came, he wouldn't be able to go up before the tide of the netherworld sea rises. "
Seeing him like this, Ye Kong asked curiously, "Since you know it's too late, I see that you aren't worried at all. Could it be that you have a way to cross the netherworld sea? "
"I don't have that ability." Little Yaksha said, "I knew that I would definitely be the last one. Therefore, I prepared a map of the right path. I believe Senior is the same, right? "
There was a proper path down from the 9000th floor. It was an official path that wasn't restricted by the rising and falling tides. However, this path was under the control of the Netherworld Lord. Little Yaksha probably wanted to risk his life to try from that side.
Ye Kong nodded and took a copy of the map from Little Yaksha. Only then did he let Little Yaksha leave.
Actually, Ye Kong originally thought that he wouldn't be afraid of the water of the netherworld sea with his divine armor. However, now that he thought about it, it was still a risk. The Netherworld was very mystical. It could even trap a legendary ancient beast like the Netherworld, let alone himself?
Therefore, Ye Kong still felt that Little Yaksha's plan was more practical. Go through the official path. Ye Kong also had a very high chance because Ye Kong had the purple gold alms bowl. How convenient would it be to turn invisible and escape?
Alright, now that everyone had left, Ye Kong could collect the water in peace. Five drops wasn't even enough to fill the crevices between his teeth! Therefore, he took the risk and stayed behind, hoping to collect a little more!
However, the water came out too slowly. Ye Kong was worried about Liu Ying's matter, so he waited for a long while before the finger-sized bottle was filled.
"Too slow!" Ye Kong was anxious. He took out a dagger and dug open that crevice. Then, he pulled out all the soil inside. At this moment, Ye Kong discovered that the Spring of Life didn't seep in from next door!
Instead, it flowed out from the roots of that old tree!
The Spring of Life actually came from the ancient tree!
When Ye Kong discovered this secret, he was instantly overjoyed. He originally wanted to dig open the wall and go next door to see what was going on. Unfortunately, there was an immortal formation in the middle of the wall. No, it was a god formation!
With Ye Kong's ability, he wouldn't be able to break through the god formation. But what was surprising was that this ancient tree could!
There was clearly a god formation but this ancient tree was able to forcefully stretch out a finger-sized root!
"This is the power of life!" Ye Kong sighed, his heart full of admiration for the ancient tree.
Of course, he only admired it in his heart. He wouldn't be courteous with his hands. He took out his divine sword, stuck it close to the immortal formation and cut off the root that crossed the boundary!
"Hehe, in the future, when I nurture this thing in my own house, I will have as much Spring of Life as I want!" A certain someone laughed shamelessly. He carefully placed the root into a small box and sealed it. Only then did he feel very satisfied!
But when he looked at the corner of the wall again, his eyes instantly widened! It turns out that he had cut too close to the root. So after he finished cutting, the root actually retracted back into the god formation!
Oh no. The root had completely retracted. In other words, Ye Kong would no longer be able to touch the Spring of Life!
More importantly, he was afraid that he would never be able to touch the Spring of Life again!
Thinking about the future, there would be other Yakshas who would risk their lives to obtain the Spring of Life. But when they opened the restriction, they would discover that there was no Spring of Life inside … "Then they will definitely be depressed to death!" A certain someone laughed wickedly and actually stuck a small white flag in the gap with a few words written on it: "Sweet dreams for a day trip."
He reckoned that those who came later would probably faint from seeing this.
Since there were no benefits, Ye Kong didn't stay any longer. He put away his small bottle. No matter what, he was already very satisfied with a root and a full bottle of Spring of Life.
