Chapter 428 Goodbye to the Upside-Down Fountain
The burly man clearly sensed Xu Ning's unease. With a swing of his spear, he pierced through several demons and unleashed a bolt of lightning that exploded on the ground, instantly clearing the area around them.
Xu Ning realized his loss of composure, called for two elemental beings to guard him, and then he was the first to rush into the Eight Gates Hall.
empty!
They're all empty!
There were naturally no Abyss Order devices on the ground, since those Abyss Apostles probably hadn't noticed this space five hundred years ago.
However, the fountain, which was originally the ground but has now become the ceiling, is completely dry.
Above is a dry pool.
"That's impossible! How could there be no water in this place?"
"This was five hundred years ago, not five hundred years ago. How could such a magical spring have dried up?"
"No, it can't be said to be dry; there might not have been any water here to begin with. But if that's the case, who later poured that power into this place?"
Xu Ning was completely baffled.
The burly man saw Xu Ning standing motionless in the middle of the hall, gazing upwards without saying a word, and he immediately understood what had happened.
"What did you originally bring me here to see? Is something missing?"
Xu Ning was startled by the big man's sudden question and turned around with a wry smile, "I originally wanted you to come and see the fountain up here, but I didn't expect it to be completely dry."
The big man knew that what Xu Ning was talking about must be able to subdue these demons, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to the trouble of bringing him here to find it.
"Do you know what miraculous effects this fountain has, that it can kill these monsters?"
Xu Ning shook his head. "We can't just kill them directly. After all, these demons aren't stupid. If they encounter something they can avoid, they certainly won't be foolish enough to rush in."
"However, the water in this pool can have a great impact on the surrounding area, at least greatly weakening the physique and mobility of those monsters."
The burly man glanced down at the gourd in Xu Ning's hand. "It's like the power of the wine inside your gourd?"
The big man had naturally drunk Xu Ning's wine, and he had personally experienced the effects of the fine wine in the Dust Concealment Gourd.
Moreover, the smell of alcohol that Xu Ning emitted when he made his move clearly had considerable lethality against those demons, so the big man felt that his analogy was completely correct.
Xu Ning was stunned by those words, "Like the power of my liquor?"
Xu Ning looked down at his wine gourd, then at the fountain above it, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind: If I pour the wine in now, will the fountain come back to life and become the same as the one I see in the future?
Xu Ning reached out and slapped the Dust Concealment Gourd, drawing out a stream of wine from it.
He pointed upwards with his finger, gesturing towards the fragrant liquor, and said, "Go!"
The liquor, like a clear white line, rushed directly to the bottom of the fountain pool, then poured down like rain, soaking Xu Ning and the big man from head to toe.
"This...this is completely wrong!"
Although Xu Ning knew this was reasonable, he still found it extremely difficult to accept.
Putting aside his current situation, in the five hundred years following the Black Tide, will there be anyone like him here?
Xu Ning racked his brains, considering who could possess or create such magical water, who had the Eye of the Water God, and even the Rock King Emperor.
No, there shouldn't be anyone else. The people I can think of are not water-type.
It seems that there is really no one else here but myself. But if I set up this magical fountain, how did I do it?
"Although we don't know why this city is completely upside down, when this rock abyss was smashed through, this city was right in the center. Even if there was water on it, it would be hard to hold back after such an impact."
As the burly man cleared away the monsters around him, he also surveyed his surroundings.
Xu Ning sighed and turned to look at the Yaksha beside him who still couldn't remember his own name.
The cloud patterns on his body had covered most of his body, and purple lightning patterns had appeared at the end of the cloud patterns.
"Brother, there's a mechanism outside the main entrance of this Eight Gates Hall."
Xu Ning sent his rock elemental body out and stood at the mechanism at the main entrance, pressing the button on it.
“You’ve been fighting these monsters all day. I’ll close the mechanism, and the eight gates will be sealed tightly, so you can rest here for a while.”
Before the giant could offer any suggestions, Xu Ning had the rock elemental body activate the mechanism, and the doors of the Eight Gates Hall slowly closed.
After the rock elemental body penetrated the wall and entered, Xu Ning had it condense into two stone bowls, washed them with wine, and then poured wine into them.
"Brother, please!"
After casually eliminating the few demons trapped inside, the burly man walked over to Xu Ning, sat down cross-legged, picked up a large bowl of wine in front of him, and drank it all in one gulp.
"The wine is very good."
Seeing that he was willing to drink, Xu Ning smiled and said, "Of course. No one has ever said anything bad about my wine except for a little cat. Moreover, it can ward off evil spirits and dispel miasma. People who come into contact with demons outside will inevitably be tainted by their dark aura, but as long as my wine is available, there is nothing to be afraid of."
The burly man nodded, "Not to mention that kind of evil miasma, it even seems that some of the karmic burdens that have accumulated on us Yakshas over the years can be eliminated."
"You've remembered that you belong to the Yaksha clan?"
The burly man drank another bowl of wine, "and remembered some things, and seemed to understand some of the supernatural powers, but that's all."
Xu Ning stared intently at the burly man, and then two more hands unexpectedly grew from his shoulders and back.
"I remember knowing a tailor before, and he made me a very beautiful dress, but the only flaw was that it only had two sleeves."
The big man laughed heartily, "I felt that I couldn't extend my hands when I became a four-armed being, so I asked him to change it to four sleeves, but he thought it wasn't aesthetically pleasing enough and refused to change it no matter what I said. I've been shirtless ever since..."
Upon hearing this, Xu Ning could naturally guess who the man who made the clothes was.
Not to mention the clothes that the Geo Archon is wearing now, including the one I'm wearing, as well as many classic Liyue styles, were all designed by that general.
