Fountain of Life

**Fountain of Life** (生命之泉) or Spring of Life, in the Underground world

There were a total of four fountains of life in the underground world that possessed magical effect. They were distributed near the lairs of the elemental, tauren, medusa and troll. Now that the trolls were wiped out, that fountain of life dried up as well. Now, only the taurens' and medusas' fountain of life were left.

It loses effectiveness within half an hour after leaving its source, unless transplanted in a place like Galaxy Garden.

## Underground world

"The Earth Realm and the trolls' original fountains of life did not dry up, but were being controlled by Glorfin's strange powers. His purpose was to draw the power of the fountain and keep strengthening his own fill, further suppressing the Earth Elemental King's will."

It turned out that after learning that the taurens and the medusas had formed an alliance, Glorfin understood that just relying on the demonic flies and the mutant earth elemental people's powers could not eliminate the two strongest creature tribes the way he did with the trolls, so he changed his strategy. He focused on the fountain of life. He constantly used his strange powers to draw power from the fountain of life and seal it away at the same time. As long as he could fully control the Earth Elemental King's will, wouldn't destroying the taurens and the medusas be very easy?

They must transplant the medusas' fountain of life to Galaxy Garden as soon as possible, and first they needed to obtain Queen Medusa's consent.

## Medusa

Tim saw Chen Rui's doubts and told him with a bitter smile that the pool in front of the small lake was called the fountain of life. Since all medusas were female, they needed a special medium to conceive the next generation. The fountain of life was that kind of magical medium. When a medusa was in heat, drinking this spring water could dissipate their desire and increase their chances of getting pregnant and laying eggs. Medusas could become a real woman under the effect of the fountain of life.

## Tauren

The Chief Tauren pointed at the pool in front and said, "This is the fountain of life, also the most important source of life for the taurens. The tauren's food is mainly oat and wheat plants. In the underground environment, we need to rely on the fountain of life to farm and accelerate growth; more importantly, the tauren's children must receive a special baptism through the fountain of life to obtain strength and even mutated power. However, the fountain of life is slowly drying up. Once it's completely dry, even if the demon flies and the earth elementals stopped attacking, we can only face destruction.

"The fountain of life here was originally 4 to 5 times bigger than this, but now only a tiny pond is left. Every time the demonic flies and earth elementals attack, they will leave a seed with certain power around the fountain of life that looks like a weird crystal. With the crystal here, even if I'm fighting with the elite earth elementals around, it wouldn't cause any harm to the fountain of life. However, this so-called protection is actually for another sinister purpose, which is that these crystals will continuously drain the power from the fountain of life. We destroy the crystal every time, but it can always regrow. It cannot be completely destroyed. Although there's a special guard to guard the entire day, it still cannot stop the fountian of life from drying up. In this way, as soon as the fountain of life dries up, even if the enemies don't attack, our tribe will still face destruction."

Chen Rui stepped forward, squatted down and began to observe the fountain of life carefully. The Spring of Life was almost the same as ordinary spring water. The water quality was clear and bubbles constantly appeared, seemingly contained traces of aura.

Based on the look of the soil at the edge, it had dried up a lot. There were some tiny yellow light in the soil revealing within the soil. There were many traces of the soil being dug. It was obvious that the taurens wanted to destroy those crystals, but couldn't completely destroy them eventually.

It seemed that the fountain of life was a substance that could be converted into aura.

## Aura conversion and Eye of Evil

Chen Rui pointed his hand at the soil and launched <Aura Conversion>. His aura indeed started to increase, but the rate was very slow. The yellow lights in the soil were gradually dimmed and the water surface of the fountain of life was also faintly trembling. Several taurens immediately gathered around.

At that time, Chen Rui suddenly felt that his head sunk and all the surrounding scenes disappeared. Within the void, a pair of eyes were faintly visible.

Except for the eyes, the rest were blurry, but in contrast, those eyes were extremely clear. In that pair of eyes were full of indescribable evil and brutality. The entire void was filled with eerie murderous intentions that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, making him almost unable to breathe.

"Unknown spirit energy is found. Convert into aura?" The notification in his brain sounded, waking up Chen Rui suddenly.

"Convert!"

The eyes gradually faded with the conversion of the Super System. However, when it was about to disappear, it became clear again. It seemed that the converted power was constantly being supplemented, and it was endless. The aura's growth rate also very became very slow as the conversion became extremely difficult.

In those eyes, endless evil locked onto him tightly. He couldn't get rid of them at all. Chen Rui was taken aback. Even Broc's <Eye of Incubus> with Demon Emperor strength was converted by the power of the Super System and Broc himself suffered a huge loss. Now, the power of those "eyes" could even resist the Super System!

Within the evil eyes, the power suddenly strengthened and the rate of system conversion couldn't keep up anymore. Chen Rui felt that his will was tightly tangled by something impenetrable, as if his throat was seized. He couldn't resist at all.

The restraint slowly narrowed, and his spirit began to show signs of impending collapse.

He desperately concentrated his willpower and resisted that terrible power. The Dark Will on his finger began to emit a faint light. Suddenly, Chen Rui felt that the pressure was relaxed. Then, a series of strange waves repelled the restraint, and his spirit was restored again.

At that point, his <Aura Conversion> skill had reached the 30-minutes time limit, and it automatically stopped. The eyes finally disappeared, and he returned to the scene at the fountain of life.

Chen Rui panted heavily, even his undershirt was soaked in cold sweat, as if he had just been through a tough battle. Although the danger had passed, the terrible feeling just now was still deeply rooted in his heart; it couldn't be forgotten. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation since he possessed the Super System!

He had to admit that he couldn't destroy the crystals. If it weren't for Dark Will, it might be his willpower that was destroyed.

The owner of these pair of scary eyes was likely to be the final mystery of the underground world's secrets.

The countless yellow lights at the edge of the fountain of life were still constantly flickering in the soil as if they were mocking Chen Rui for not knowing his place.

## Galaxy garden

Instead, he activated the galaxy garden!

*Since I can't solve these crystals that contain evil seeds, then let's try "solving" the fountain of life.*

"Unknown water source, transplantation requires 50,000 auras. Do you want to transplant?"

*The galaxy garden can actually transplant water source!*

Chen Rui opened his hand and aimed at the fountain of life. A strange mist appeared from his hand that gradually covered the entire Fountain of Life. Subsequently, the mist gradually vanished and the fountain of life disappeared before everyone's eyes.

Not only the fountain's water, but even the fountain's mouth was gone, leaving an empty dent. There were countless faint yellow lights shining in the soil, but this time the crystal light seemed a bit helpless.

A small pond appeared within the galaxy garden.

The prompt was: Unknown Aura Water Source; Maximum: 200 Units; Recover 10 Units/Hour. Current Status: 200/200.

The bull's eyes all around were instantly dilated. Chen Rui stood up and his eyes flickered with excitement. Before Delong asked, a large basin suddenly appeared in Chen Rui's hands suddenly. The basin was filled with water instantly, then he passed the basin to the Chief Tauren.

The aura water source's status was shown as 199/200. This large basin of water was almost equivalent to 1 unit. Even if the entire fountain of life was depleted, it could be restored to its original state in less than a day.

Delong took the basin and looked at it carefully. His bull's eyes dilated and he shouted in surprise, "It's truly the springwater from the fountain of life!"

The taurens at the side gathered around at the same time. At once, all of them looked disbelieving.

Chen Rui smiled. *This time is truly finding a way out of a predicament. I'm actually able to move the fountain of life into the galaxy garden. 50,000 auras of "transplantation fee" is 5 times more expensive than transplanting plants, but it is definitely worth it.*
