Chapter 119 The Fountain of Life
After a long journey of traversing mountains and valleys, Wu He and his group gradually realized that the weight they were bearing was becoming increasingly heavy, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on their shoulders.
At the same time, he could clearly feel his physical strength draining away at an alarming rate.
The water he had been carrying with him to quench his thirst had long been drunk up, and Wu Heyi's throat was now parched.
The burning sensation in my mouth was almost unbearable.
Logically speaking, even a small island like this should have some freshwater resources.
After all, this small island is located in a vast freshwater lake! Logically speaking, the water source here should be quite abundant.
However, what is puzzling is that Wu Heyi continued along the mountain road, despite the unusually lush and verdant vegetation that almost completely covered the road.
But he couldn't find even a small stream or a clear spring. This was truly strange!
At this moment, Wu Heyi couldn't help but have the thought of turning back the way he came.
However, due to the extreme discomfort caused by prolonged walking and dehydration, he is now extremely thirsty.
Even if they choose to return the way they came, it would probably be a long and arduous journey before they could possibly get back to that shimmering lake.
As Wu Heyi continued to venture deeper into the island, some of the mountainous terrain became increasingly narrow and rugged, to the point that even the enormous head of Daming, who had been by his side the whole time, could no longer pass through smoothly.
Left with no other choice, Da Ming had to rely on his powerful mental strength to remotely watch over Wu Heyi and ensure his safety.
However, Wu Heyi was completely unconcerned about the complex situation and potential dangers around him.
He was completely focused on making judgments based on his unique ability—the humidity of the environment.
After careful observation, he was convinced that if he continued to walk forward, he would find a precious water source within 20 meters.
It's important to understand that this special observation skill wasn't acquired overnight. It was something Wu Heyi gradually grasped and mastered after countless days and nights of hard work, exploration, and experience accumulation in this mysterious world.
It became one of the key tools for Wu He Yi to survive in this land full of unknowns and challenges.
Sure enough, not long after, Wu Heyi was overjoyed to discover a small spring.
However, when he looked closely, a doubt arose in his heart: although it was indeed a spring, Wu Heyi would never believe that the water flowing from it would be clear and sweet.
After all, in such a place where eeriness permeates everything, there are often unexpected mysteries hidden behind anything that seems ordinary.
Looking at the location of the spring in front of him and referring to the map in his hand, Wu Heyi realized that he had stepped into the most core and crucial area of this small island.
But at the same time, an overwhelming pressure also came crashing down – the gravity alone had increased to nearly 20 times its original value!
Not only that, but the concentration of life energy also increased by an astonishing 20 times.
Wu Heyi hadn't expected that gravity had gradually increased so much, but this also caused his cultivation level to be raised by a whole level.
The spring that appears before us is not located on the ground like ordinary springs, but is suspended in mid-air.
It seems to be driven by an unimaginably powerful force, which blends and solidifies together.
Wu Heyi took a deep breath, concentrated his mind, and released his powerful mental energy like a tide, carefully exploring the surrounding environment.
When his mental energy reached the location of the spring, he was startled, as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer.
Because he discovered that the gravity there was as high as 50 times!
It should be noted that with his current strength, he can only barely adapt to 20 times the gravity.
This sudden increase of 30 times the gravity is simply an insurmountable chasm; a slight misstep could result in being shattered to pieces and losing one's life!
However, Wu Heyi was extremely anxious at this moment, jumping up and down like an ant on a hot pan.
The reason is simple: if nothing unexpected happens, the seemingly insignificant liquid in front of us is very likely the legendary life essence liquid!
This life essence is no ordinary substance; its preciousness is in no way inferior to any celestial herb.
Its birth conditions are extremely demanding and special, requiring a perfect match of many factors such as timing, location, and human factors to form even a tiny bit.
Because it is so rare, even in those large and renowned auction houses, without a fortune of trillions, it would be a luxury to even get a tiny bit of the Life Essence.
The opportunity is right in front of us, how can we let it slip away!
Despite knowing that the road ahead was extremely treacherous, Wu Heyi gritted his teeth, mustered all his courage, and rushed towards the spring without hesitation in the face of such a tempting treasure.
However, just as he approached the spring, an overwhelming pressure suddenly struck him. The terrifying force of 50 times gravity was like an invisible giant hand, pressing him hard to the ground.
Before Wu Heyi could even catch his breath, he was completely immobilized, as if he were being crushed by a towering mountain, with no chance of breaking free.
He's incredibly handsome when he runs away, but incredibly unlucky when he runs into trouble.
Wu Heyi's arms trembled slightly, his palms pressed tightly against the ground, and he exerted all his strength to gather all his soul power into his palms to support his incredibly heavy body.
Each exertion left him feeling exhausted, but he gritted his teeth and refused to give up.
Finally, after a long and arduous struggle, his body, nourished by 50 times the amount of life energy, gained a little bit of strength and began to lift up little by little.
However, this was just the beginning. His eyes revealed a resolute and fierce determination, as if he were fighting against the entire world.
In his trembling right hand, he tightly gripped a delicate bottle.
Despite his arms being nearly numb from exertion, he endured the pain and slowly lifted the bottle towards the spring.
As the bottle neck approached the spring, Wu Heyi's heart leaped into his throat.
He was completely focused on controlling his movements, afraid of making the slightest mistake.
Just then, a drop of crystal-clear, life-giving liquid dripped from the spring and landed precisely in the bottle.
In an instant, Wu Heyi felt as if his right hand had been hit hard, the force of which almost made him lose his grip on the bottle.
But with his tenacious willpower, he held on to the bottle tightly.
The next second, Wu Heyi exerted his strength.
He was instantly transported back to a place where gravity was only 20 times stronger than normal, and he fell heavily to the ground.
Wu He, lying on the ground, was panting heavily, still shaken.
He had just truly felt the threat of death, and even thought for a moment that he was doomed.
After resting for a while, Wu Heyi quickly took out a dragon's saliva fruit that emitted a mysterious light from his pocket.
The fruit was crystal clear, as dazzling as a gemstone.
Then, he carefully took out the extremely precious bottle of life essence, containing only one drop, and put it into his mouth along with the dragon's saliva fruit.
Just as the two were swallowed, a heart-stirring dragon roar suddenly rang out, as if a giant dragon from ancient times was howling.
A dazzling light shone from his body, and then a huge vortex of soul power slowly appeared above his head, continuously devouring the life energy of the surrounding world.
As time went by, Wu Heyi could clearly feel a powerful force continuously flowing into his body.
The magical energy contained in that ambergris fruit not only strengthened his physical body, making his muscle lines more defined and full of explosive power;
At the same time, it greatly improved his own cultivation level.
Wu Heyi happily checked his current cultivation level and couldn't help but sigh with emotion:
"This is wonderful! The life energy is so abundant that my cultivation level has successfully broken through to level 45!"
Moreover, I can clearly feel that my physical strength has increased significantly, and it's probably now comparable to a soul beast that's 2 to 3 years old!
