Global martial arts masters: an ordinary duo

Deep in the dark underground, the figures of several people looked particularly mysterious. They stood there quietly, their eyes focused on the energy waterfall suspended in mid-air. The surrounding atmosphere was extremely solemn, and there was a moist atmosphere in the air, which seemed to indicate a miracle that was about to happen.

Ripples gradually appeared around the waterfall, as if a breeze was blowing across the lake. This indicates that some changes are coming. An invisible wave spread from the waterfall, and the air seemed to be filled with a light fragrance, which was refreshing.

"The fountain of life is about to open!" The eighth-grade expert said in a solemn tone. In order to ensure that these precious life essences will not be lost, the waterfall has actually been wrapped in a closed channel solidified by a layer of spiritual power.

Opening the fountain of life means opening a portal outside of this solidified spiritual power channel, allowing energy to flow out. This process not only requires extremely high mental strength, but also precise control, otherwise energy will be lost or dissipated accidentally.

"Once the fountain of life is opened, everyone must absorb the healing as quickly as possible!" The eighth-level expert continued to warn. His voice was full of concern and seriousness.

"The Patron Saint is trying his best to maintain the stability of the barrier and prevent it from breaking. Once the fountain of life spreads, everyone must seize the time to absorb it, otherwise the Lord will close the channel at any time." There was a sense of urgency in his words, as if time was passing by. The seconds passed by.

It is not easy to open a hole in the wall of solidified spiritual power. Once damaged, part of the essence energy will be dispersed, and part of it will be quickly converted into high-quality energy stones. However, no matter how pure the energy stone is, it cannot compete with the energy gathered at this moment.

It is easy to destroy but difficult to maintain stability. Even for a powerful being like the Willow Tree Demon, maintaining the stability of the outer barrier and ensuring that the energy essence only flows out from the opened opening is an extremely energy- and mental-power-consuming task. What's more, King Liu is not in the city now, and any unexpected situation may cause greater trouble.

Deep in the dark underground, the voice of the eighth-grade expert fell, and the entire hall fell into silence. Several commanders looked solemn, and they immediately said: "Thank you, Lord Feng, for reminding me!"

The low words echoed in the hall, and everyone felt a depressing atmosphere. The surrounding stone walls seemed to be shaking slightly, as if they were closely related to what was about to happen.

"Get ready, everyone else should disperse." The strong man spoke again, his voice revealing unquestionable majesty, "The fountain of life will be opened later. How much it can withstand depends on chance!"

A strong breath of energy permeates the air, but everyone knows that it is not easy to absorb how much. If you absorb too little, the effect will be minimal; if you absorb too much, you may burst your body.

Over the years, the Fountain of Life has been opened three times, and each time many people died. When everyone heard this, they all responded and dispersed around the hall.

At this moment, the warriors who can enter this hall must have at least fifth-grade cultivation. They are generally experts at the peak of fifth-grade. The sixth-grade expert stood closer to the fountain of life.

As for the other fourth and fifth grade warriors, they were all arranged to guard in the external passage. Every time the Fountain of Life is turned on, there will always be some underground monsters coming to attack. In order to absorb energy, these monsters are no longer afraid of the patron saint's breath.

However, truly powerful monsters will not take the risk. Most of the monsters gathered here are low-level. They are not very intelligent and only act based on instinct.

Chen Fan quietly entered the core area. At this moment, everyone in the hall was concentrating on preparing to welcome the opening of the fountain of life.

There were several passages in front of him, and each passage was closely guarded by warriors. Although the strength of these guards is not too strong, most of them are around the fourth level, and only a few have reached the fifth level, it is still a big challenge for Chen Fan.

It is not difficult to simply kill these guards, but doing so will inevitably attract the attention of the stronger people in the core area, which is something Chen Fan does not want to see.

"How to get in?" Chen Fan frowned, feeling very distressed. He knew that once he entered the core area, it would not be easy to escape unscathed.

Chen Fan didn't know the specific situation inside, but he was certain that there must be high-level people there. Once discovered, even if the aura can be concealed and not detected, if it is seen by others, it will still be a dead end.

"This is not stealing, it's simply robbery!" Chen Fan said with a bitter smile in his heart. But the reality is that he has no way out. The arrow is on the string and must be fired. He must try to sneak into the core area, capture the energy essence, and then evacuate safely.

Every passageway entrance is heavily guarded, and these guards seem to be very vigilant, never leaving their eyes away from the core area. Chen Fan knew that it would be impossible to sneak in unnoticed. He needed to come up with a more clever way to break through the defenses of these guards.

While thinking about various possible plans in his mind, Chen Fan's eyes suddenly fell on a shadow not far away. There is an inconspicuous stone tablet with some vague words engraved on it. He took a closer look and found that these words seemed to describe an ancient legend.

The appearance of this monument seems to be a coincidence, but sometimes fate is so strange. Chen Fan suddenly had an idea and thought of a possible way.

Although the words on the stone tablet were blurry, Chen Fan still tried hard to identify every symbol. He found that these words seemed to tell a legend about the fountain of life. Could this stone tablet be a secret passage leading to the core area?

He carefully observed the ground around the stone monument and found some faint runes on the ground. These runes are looming, seeming to be guiding something. Chen Fan took a deep breath and moved forward slowly according to the guidance of the runes.

Every step was taken carefully, for fear of touching any mechanism or attracting the attention of others. Time seemed to slow down, and the sound of his heartbeat echoed very clearly in the quiet underground.

Following the guidance of the runes, Chen Fan gradually penetrated into the core area. He was always vigilant, and at the same time, he tried his best to hold back his breath and prevent himself from being exposed to everyone's eyes.

Finally, behind a hidden stone wall, he found a secret passage. The passage is dark and damp, but also full of unknown possibilities.

"We finally came in." Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief. But at the same time, he also understood that the real challenge had just begun. To safely evacuate from the core area, more wisdom and courage are needed.

At the dark fork in the underground passage, Chen Fan quietly observed the warriors guarding the passage. He was thinking about how to take the opportunity to sneak into the core area.

Time passed slowly, and suddenly a loud voice broke the silence: "The fountain of life will be opened immediately. Everyone is on alert to prevent the monster from attacking!"

Chen Fan frowned slightly and concentrated his attention instantly. He heard someone ask in confusion: "Master Ye Mu, the monsters in the underground have been wiped out a long time ago. No monsters will attack, right? The fountain of life is rarely opened once. Do you think we can practice?"

Master Ye Mu replied in a stern tone: "Shut up! If you ruin the important things of the adults, you will die! When the fountain of life is opened and ended, there will be life essence left. It's not too late to practice again!" Hearing this, Chen Fan was moved in his heart. It seems that these guards do not know the real inside story.

Lord Yemu left quickly, and the guards began to discuss quietly. They complained that they couldn't practice when the fountain of life was open, and if they practiced after it was over, they could only get a little bit of the leftovers.

Chen Fan took the opportunity to get closer and hear more clearly. They discussed taking turns to practice later, and as for guarding, they could just pretend.

After so many years of establishment of the royal city, almost all the low- and medium-grade monsters nearby have been killed, and high-grade monsters do not dare to risk coming. Those high-level monsters would not do such a thing if they lost their lives just to absorb some life essence.

Chen Fan knew very well that it seemed that these guards were not doing their best. He needs to find the right moment to take advantage of the laxity of these guards and sneak into the core area. But before that, he had to learn more about the specific situation inside in order to formulate a more comprehensive plan.

"The fountain of life is about to open!"

Chen Fan scratched his head and couldn't help but have doubts in his heart. Although he didn't know the specific reason behind it, he could get an idea from everyone's comments.

According to his guess, once the fountain of life is opened, it will be very difficult to open it again.

The energy essence in that incompletely opened fountain of life may be difficult to obtain easily.

He understood that these energy essences must have been sealed by some special means, perhaps hidden in some unknown corner.

Only at the moment of opening can you have the opportunity to obtain it.

"In the current situation, everyone seems to be focusing on the Fountain of Life, the high-purity energy stone mining area for cultivation. Will they relax their vigilance because of this?"

Chen Fan's eyes wandered around, thinking to himself.

"Maybe this is an opportunity. It wouldn't be a bad thing to take advantage of it to make a fortune of high-purity energy stones."

However, he also knew that opening the fountain of life too quickly might not be a good thing. People from Nanjiang may not arrive immediately, which brings him some trouble.

Chen Fan took a deep breath, looked around, and found a remote place to start digging.

This is a mining area. No matter how strong the willow tree demon's mental power is, it is impossible to monitor every corner at all times.

What's more, at this moment, all the willow tree demon's attention is focused on opening the fountain of life.

Therefore, even if Chen Fan did touch some of the willow tree demon's roots at this time, he might not attract its attention.

Chen Fan quickly jumped into the hole and covered the entrance of the hole with the rocks above. He gritted his teeth, got down on the ground, and started digging!

As a fourth-level peak warrior, his strength was extremely powerful. Even though there were mostly hard rocks below, he quickly dug out a passage. He carefully avoided the direction of the guards and walked underground along the energy-rich area.

"I'm almost turning into a gopher for these energy stones." Chen Fan muttered in his heart and continued to dig holes.

Suddenly, a powerful wave of energy swept over! Chen Fan instantly felt as if he was in an ocean of energy! Countless energy particles scattered in all directions!

The energy here is too strong! He felt that the energy particles in the cave passage were actually pure energy particles, but at this moment they did not solidify, but continued to disperse. Even the surrounding soil and stones began to become energized!

"The Fountain of Life is on!" Chen Fan's expression changed, time actually went so fast! Can he still make it? How long will this opening last?

He was extremely anxious. He knew that the opportunity was rare. Once he missed this opening opportunity, he would not know how long it would take to obtain the energy essence again.

So he dug harder, hoping to reach the energy core area as soon as possible. He knew that only when the fountain of life was opened could he have the opportunity to obtain the sealed energy essence.

Underground, there were bursts of harsh "squeaking" sounds. Chen Fan immediately looked around vigilantly, and suddenly found many small creatures that were somewhat similar to mice running around in the mine tunnel in a panic.

"Mine rat!"

Qin Fengqing once mentioned this small creature that is extremely common in caves. Chen Fan's eyes lit up instantly, and he realized that he might have been too cautious.

In this cave, excessive movement can easily attract the attention of others. However, as small creatures that live near energy mines all year round, mine rats often move around in mine tunnels, so cave warriors do not pay too much attention to them. Due to their small size, mine rats are not considered monsters, and they absorb very little energy, so they are regarded as harmless little creatures.

"I'm like a mine rat now!" Chen Fan whispered to himself, "No, I'm even less existential than a mine rat, except that my body is slightly bigger."

Thick energy tides came one after another, and each wave was extremely mellow. If it were on earth, Chen Fan would have already started cultivating impatiently. However, now he must first find the source of that energy.

He quickly started digging in the direction from which the energy came. Mine rats are good at digging holes, which is recognized in the underground caves. No one would be surprised that he burrowed, right?

After a few minutes of digging, Chen Fan stopped what he was doing. He was holding an energy stone shaped like a pebble in his hand, and his eyes were shining with excitement. This high-purity energy stone was the goal of his trip.

Feeling the powerful energy contained in the stone in his hand, Chen Fan felt ecstatic in his heart. He finally arrived at the core area! Without any hesitation, he quickly put the precious energy stone into the space ring.

After confirming that the energy stone was safely stored in the space ring, Chen Fan continued to dig forward. He knew that there must be more than one energy stone in the core area, and the deeper into the core area, the higher the purity of the energy stone. He couldn't wait to continue exploring and find more energy stones. (End of chapter)
