Chapter 420 The Chaotic Original Water
The mayor waved his hand, and Han Fei and Xia Xiaochan suddenly found themselves inside a cave.
This was a cave about a thousand square meters, no different from other caves, except that there was a jade ritual table at the center of the cave.
On the table, two watery pillars of light three meters in diameter connected the ceiling and the floor of the cave.
From the pillars, blue, thread-like light was emitting and floating in the cave, illuminating the whole cave and making it dreamy. Han Fei and Xia Xiaochan were quite amazed. Actually, they didn’t sense anything inside the two pillars of light, which were supposed to be empty. With his hands on his back, the mayor said casually, “Here are two drops of Chaotic Original Water. It’s safe to say that the disasters in my city are related to them too. However, I’m the only one in the whole city that can borrow the power from one drop of the water. n.o.body can use the second drop. If you are destined to come here, you have a try!” Han Fei asked in surprise, “Chaotic Original Water? What’s that?” The mayor slightly shook his head. “I don’t know! n.o.body knows where the Chaotic Original Water is from, and every drop of Chaotic Original Water has a different purpose. I only know the usage of one drop and can manage to borrow its power. As for the other drop, someone luckier has to figure it out.”
Han Fei did not even dare to breathe aloud at this moment. How strong was the mayor of the city? Han Fei was totally awed by the mayor’s casual attack just now.
However, the mayor was so strong because he borrowed the power of this Chaotic Original Water. Then how precious must the treasure be?
Xia Xiaochan asked in confusion, “What if we’re not lucky?”
The mayor chuckled. “These are the only treasures in my city that are worth pa.s.sing on. I think only they can take you back.”
Han Fei and Xia Xiaochan were both serious. There were millions of people in this city. If none of them could make use of the water, could Han Fei and Xia Xiaochan?
After observing it for a long time, Han Fei finally asked, “How can we try it?” The mayor replied, “Just go into it. It all depends on your luck.” Han Fei and Xia Xiaochan looked at each other. They’d be lying if they said that they weren’t nervous. They had never seen a treasure as important as this one in their whole life.
Looking at his wrist, Han Fei said to himself, Master Calabash, it’s all up to you whether or not I can make it this time!
Han Fei knew himself very well. Different from Xia Xiaochan, who had an unusual spiritual heritage and other deeply-hidden secrets, he would’ve only been an ordinary person with his spiritual heritage and apt.i.tude if he didn’t have the Demon Purification Pot.
Han Fei said, “Let’s go.”
“Wait a moment.”
The mayor suddenly s.n.a.t.c.hed Han Fei’s shoulder. Before Han Fei could react, he had already grabbed the Hexagon Starfish. “Interesting. A Hexagon Starfish. That’s rare. However, it cannot go in.” As he talked, the mayor casually threw Mr. Hexagon Starfish to the ground. Mr. Hexagon Starfish was trembling hard and did not have the courage to open its eyes. It had failed to escape the mayor’s senses even though it had deployed multiple Stealth Arrays.
Han Fei said, “Mr. Hexagon Starfish, wait for me outside.”
Then, Han Fei and Xia Xiaochan walked to the ritual table at the center in silence.
On the ritual table, Han Fei and Xia Xiaochan each stood before a blue pillar of light. They looked at each other and stepped in simultaneously. Not meeting any resistance, Han Fei felt that he had just entered a common pillar of water, except that the water here was smoother and clearer than regular seawater.
Outside.
Outside, the mayor clenched his fists on his back. Was it really a coincidence that he met these two young people on the day of the city’s destruction? Could they really inherit the two drops of Chaotic Original Water? Inside the Chaotic Original Water, Han Fei closed his eyes and perceived a moment. A moment later, he opened his eyes and looked up. “Huh? Nothing is happening?” Han Fei frowned. Though the water seemed different from seawater or fresh water, he didn’t sense anything special about it.
It only reminded Han Fei of the fresh water in the Mirror of the Sky in the Misty Salty Swamp… They were both pure and flawless, but apart from that, nothing special. Han Fei turned to Xia Xiaochan, only to see that Xia Xiaochan was circling inside the pillar. She then looked back at Han Fei. She didn’t seem to have any reaction either.
When Han Fei was about to extend his arms, he was suddenly pulled by an invisible force, and he appeared out of the water pillar.
After that, Xia Xiaochan was ejected too in two seconds.
“Well…”
The mayor heaved a sigh. “It still doesn’t work?” Xia Xiaochan said, “Let’s swap and have another try.”
Han Fei was intrigued. That’s right! Didn’t he say that every drop of Chaotic Original Water was different? It might work if they swapped! Therefore, under the mayor’s watch, they each entered the other blue pillar of light. The mayor’s eyes were glittering. It was the last chance! His face seemed slightly red. After Han Fei entered the pillar, he hadn’t felt anything yet, when he saw that the pillar where Xia Xiaochan was simply disappeared. “Great!”
The mayor roared and clenched his fists in excitement while he stared at Xia Xiaochan. He had lost all his hope, but the pleasant surprise came unexpectedly. Han Fei was shocked too. There was a reaction on her side already?
He saw that a water current was rolling on Xia Xiaochan’s body from left to right and from top to bottom, until it sank into her in the end.
Han Fei even saw that Xia Xiaochan was confused. She turned around and fumbled around, as if she was trying to find out where the Chaotic Original Water was…
However, after searching for a while, Xia Xiaochan immediately turned her eyes to Han Fei.
The mayor was staring at Han Fei too. Xia Xiaochan had succeeded. What about Han Fei?
Han Fei was rather stunned and nervous himself.
“Master Calabash, I’m counting on you now! Please help me! It’s time to collect such a great treasure!”
There was no telling whether Han Fei’s prayer worked, or if the Demon Purification Pot had sensed it, but Han Fei sensed that the pillar trembled.
Yes, it trembled. During that moment, Han Fei felt that the Chaotic Original Water was alive. He sensed that a life was throbbing! Because of the tremble, the picture before Han Fei’s eyes changed. After a trance, Han Fei found himself on a boundless ocean when he opened his eyes. Han Fei looked around hurriedly. Where the h.e.l.l am I now?
Suddenly, Han Fei felt that his feet were painful. He looked at the waves below his feet, only to see that the waves were made of blades instead of water.
Han Fei felt that his blood was freezing. The ocean below his feet seemed to be made of infinite watery blades, which were rolling and surging like tides. When Han Fei blinked his eyes, the dense blades were gone, and the waves were just regular waves. The blades were nowhere to be seen.
“Shoot. What’s going on?”
Han Fei raised his hand and tried to look at the Demon Purification Pot on his wrist.
But when he raised his hand, a tide was lifted on the ocean. He was immediately stunned. Is this ocean under my control? Han Fei raised his other hand. As he expected, another tide rose on the ocean. When Han Fei put down his hands, the lifted tides became regular waves again.
“Hiss!”
Han Fei swallowed. He tried raising one hand and waving it. Then, he saw blades of water emerging in the lifted tide and darting into the ocean not far away.Han Fei tried spinning his arm, and the waves were rolling in circles and curves in midair too.
Inside those caves, countless watery blades were spinning so fast and densely that Han Fei was shocked. When Han Fei put his hands down and lowered his head, he saw something floating at him from the bottom of the ocean. In the blink of an eye, Han Fei sensed that something was shot into his forehead. Instantly, he was woken up with cold sweat all over his body. “Pheww!”
After Han Fei woke up, he found that the mayor was holding a light s.h.i.+eld with one hand. Xia Xiaochan was standing next to the mayor, and Mr. Hexagon Starfish was clinging to her.
Han Fei looked around in confusion, only to see that the ritual table he was on had been ruined, and that blade marks were everywhere on the wall in the cave.
The mayor’s eyes were s.h.i.+ning. He laughed aloud when Han Fei woke up.
“Haha… Hahahaha…”
The mayor laughed so wildly that the rocks were falling and a strong wind was blowing.
“My city deserves this! Whoever owes us will pay their debt sooner or later!”
