Volume 1 Chapter 24 Elven Dungeon: Finding the Fountain of Life
In the dry, barren desert, the sun shines on the ground like a flame.
Nanbaiwei and Laila are walking the endless desert, searching for the fountain of life that will awaken the seeds of the Tree of Life.
Nan Baiwei used a scarf to cover herself from head to tail, they had been walking on foot for days, the kettle on her body had long since dried up, and she was really thirsty.
She limbly shouted at the refreshed Laila in front of her, "How long are we going to go?" β
Laila took out the map and looked at it, pointed to a small dot not far ahead, and said, "Turning over the desert in front of you, you should be able to see the spring of life, hold on, we are about to arrive." β
Nan Bai wiped the sweat from his forehead, gritted his teeth, and continued to move forward.
As for why she suddenly changed from the elven clan to the desert, it all started a few days ago.
After they had exchanged some words with the chief, the patriarch took out a dried seed and said, "This is the seed of the tree of life." β
"Since the Tree of Life turned into a seed, all of our normal clansmen have lost their power, only the elves who have been anomalous still have power, but the elves who have been anomalous have left us..."
The patriarch sighed and continued: "We can't leave the range of this protective shield, but the Tree of Life needs to be watered by the Fountain of Life to sprout, and the Fountain of Life is in the desert, it's a dead end..."
Nan Bai twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, this is really a dead end.
At the same time, the mechanical sound of the system sounded.
γDing! Side quests have been updated: Go to the desert to find the Fountain of Life, activate the Tree of Life, and resolve the Elven mutations. γ
Seeing this, Nan Baiwei couldn't help but ask with some curiosity: "Then why don't you ask people of other races for help?" β
Hearing this, the patriarch directly spat out his bitterness: "Why haven't you looked for it?" After they get there, they can't get close to the Fountain of Life, and they can't get close to the Fountain of Life without the breath of the Tree of Life! β
Ah......h Nan Bai scratched her head slightly in embarrassment, no wonder the system issued a task for her.
"Then are we going to take the seeds of the Tree of Life and find the Fountain of Life?" Nan Bai slightly changed the topic.
This time, Laila answered her, "You don't need to bring it, every elf born by the Tree of Life will carry the breath of the Tree of Life." β
"Hey, hey, hey, then you just said that you want the elves to find it." Nan Bai said with a slight smile.
After enlivening the atmosphere for a while, the patriarch stopped joking, and said: "I ask you for help this time, I will be paid, but you can only give it to you until you successfully get the spring of life, this is the rule." β
"Rules?" Nan Bai wondered slightly.
"Yes, the rules, I can't say much about the rest." After the patriarch finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Nan Baiwei again.
"As the patriarch of the elven clan, I ask you to help us obtain the Fountain of Life, and I hope you will agree."
Seeing this, Nan Baiwei hurriedly jumped away, "You are too serious, I can help if I can, but my strength is low, I'm afraid I can't beat the monster on the journey..."
Hearing this, the patriarch took out a leaf, "This is a leaf left by the Tree of Life, which will help you avoid the monsters on the road, and it can also allow Layla's consciousness to be retained, but not for too long, it can only be maintained for half a month." β
The implication is that Nan Baiwei also knows.
So, the two of them took the supplies and maps given by the patriarch and found them in the desert.
Now that the water had been drunk and the food had been eaten, they had finally climbed over the sand dunes, but they still saw a desert as far as they could see.
Nan Bai asked with a blank expression: "No... Isn't it said that climbing over the sand dunes is a spring? Or is it a desert? β
Laila frowned and looked at the map for a long time before he noticed that the time marked in the lower left corner of the map was hundreds of years since now.
He shrugged helplessly, "This map is too old, and the terrain has changed after a long period of wind and sand, but the approximate location should be the same, let's look for it nearby." β
Nan Bai nodded helplessly, so far, it can only be like this, the characteristics of the country of planting flowers: she has come, and if she doesn't find the spring, she will suffer so much in vain.
Several people separated around to search for the spring, and after a day of searching, Nan Baiwei finally found a cave half-hidden by sand.
She cautiously walked into the cave and found a pool of turquoise water hidden in the depths of the cave.
Nan Bai was slightly excited, and tried to step forward to get close to the spring, but she couldn't get in, as if something invisible was blocking her approach.
But this only made her more convinced that this was really the legendary fountain of life.
Nan Baiwei happily ran out of the cave, took out the fireworks from the baggage and put them in the sky, this was originally a prop prepared by the patriarch for fear that they would get lost, but now it is also very suitable for use here.
Laila saw the fireworks on the other side, thinking that Nan Baiwei had encountered an accident, and hurriedly ran in the direction of the fireworks.
Nan Baiwei was looking around at this time, and when she saw Laila's figure, she jumped and shouted, "I have found the Fountain of Life." β
The two of them are very far away now, but Laila's sensitive hearing still heard Nan Baiwei's words, and he was also a little excited in his heart, finding the spring of life, which means that he can finally get rid of his abnormal state!
The two quickly rendezvoused and returned to the cave.
Laila looked at the clear spring in front of her, took out her instrument and carefully approached the spring.
Unhindered, he passed through the invisible shield and came to the spring.
Laila quickly placed the instrument into the spring, and when it was full, sealed it and placed it in the package.
This package is a space equipment, which is one square meter in size, and it was specially given to them by the patriarch.
After placing it, Laila bowed to the fountain again, and in their perception, the fountain of life had its own consciousness like the tree of life.
It was willing to take the fountain water for them to allow them to come closer, so Layla had great respect for the Fountain of Life.
Nan Baiwei stood on the periphery and waited, and when Laila came out, a handful of spring water was suspended in front of the two of them.
Laila took out the kettle with a normal expression, and the water flew directly into the open kettle, and then he handed the kettle to Nan Baiwei.
"Drink, this is a gift from the Fountain of Life."
"Huh? Then you're welcome. Nan Baiwei took it with one hand, carefully took a sip of water, and held the water in his mouth for a while before swallowing it.
It's still a long way to go back, and it's not wise to drink all the water all at once.
After drinking the water, the two of them rushed back to the elves with full hope and rushed back to the elf clan half a month ago.
