409: Chapter 409 Discovery of the Pure Spring

When Yun Chenfei finished speaking, Yan Qingying's already charming and lovely face instantly bloomed like a spring flower, revealing an incredibly well-behaved and obedient expression.

She took a light step forward, slightly tilted her head back, and gazed at Yun Chenfei with her lively, watery eyes before responding cheerfully.

"Okay! I'll follow all of Brother Qiwu's arrangements! As long as I can be with Brother Qiwu, I'm willing to do anything~"

Standing not far away, Chen Miaoyin also nodded her head without hesitation, expressing her complete agreement and support for the decision Yun Chenfei had made.

She said softly, "I will also follow Big Brother Yun's command. Big Brother Yun is knowledgeable and experienced; following you definitely won't be wrong!"

Just then, Lin Guiwan and Ran Xueyao also stepped forward one after another.

They first exchanged a look and then nodded to Yun Chenfei in unison, showing their determination and attitude toward this operation.

Even the clever Little Beast that had been following everyone seemed to understand their intentions at this moment. It wagged its furry tail and said crisply, "I'll be good and listen too!"

After receiving everyone's unanimous response, a sense of responsibility and mission welled up in Yun Chenfei's heart.

He took a deep breath, stabilized his somewhat excited emotions, then solemnly looked around at his companions and said in a heavy voice.

"In that case, let's set off! However, entering the depths of the Misty Forest is no easy task. We may encounter all sorts of unexpected dangers and challenges along the way, so everyone must stay fully alert and never let your guard down!"

After saying this, Yun Chenfei took the lead and walked toward the central area of the Misty Forest.

Seeing this, the others hurriedly followed closely behind him.

Thus, the group's figures gradually disappeared into the dense forest...

At this moment, everyone's heartstrings were taut, and they were fully focused on their surroundings.

None of them dared to relax even a little bit, because they all knew very well that the slightest carelessness could lead to missing a key clue to finding the world purifying spiritual spring.

Before the group had traveled very far, a thick black mist suddenly spread out ahead.

Seeing this, Yun Chenfei quickly reached out to signal everyone to stop, and he warily observed the black mist.

Yan Qingying unconsciously moved closer to Yun Chenfei, clutching his sleeve with her small hand, and then whispered, "Brother Qiwu, the mist in other places is white. Why is the mist here black?"

Yun Chenfei signaled her not to speak. Then, he took out several Talismans from his Storage Pouch, and after chanting something under his breath, he threw them toward the black mist.

As soon as the Talismans approached the black mist, they emitted a blinding light. However, the black mist only dispersed slightly before quickly gathering again.

"There's something strange about this black mist. Everyone, be careful," Yun Chenfei said in a low voice.

At this time, Lin Guiwan noticed a faint light flickering in the grass by her feet, like some kind of gemstone.

She crouched down to check but accidentally triggered a hidden mechanism.

The ground shook violently, and spikes shot up from underground. Everyone scrambled to dodge, and for a moment, they were in disarray.

Yun Chenfei shouted, "Don't panic!" He circulated his spiritual power and swung the long sword in his hand, severing the spikes rushing toward Yan Qingying.

Just when everyone thought the crisis was temporarily over, a massive Shadow Demonic Beast slowly emerged from the black mist, its blood-red eyes filled with intense killing intent.

Yun Chenfei shielded Yan Qingying behind him, standing ready.

The Shadow Demonic Beast opened its bloody maw and roared, making everyone's ears ring.

"Attack its weak point together!" Yun Chenfei shouted. Everyone cast Spells one after another, and various lights shot toward the Demonic Beast. But the Demonic Beast was thick-skinned, and these attacks only caused it to pause slightly.

Lin Guiwan observed that before every attack, the Demonic Beast's left claw would tremble slightly. "There's something wrong with its left claw; that's its weak point!" Lin Guiwan shouted.

Yun Chenfei immediately concentrated his spiritual power at the tip of his sword. As the Demonic Beast lunged again, he stabbed directly at its left claw.

The Demonic Beast howled in pain and swung its claws wildly. Yun Chenfei's figure flashed, leaping into mid-air, and he stabbed down with his sword once more.

Meanwhile, Ran Xueyao, Chen Miaoyin, and the Little Beast also cooperated fully, constantly distracting the Demonic Beast.

The Demonic Beast's left claw was severely injured, and its movements gradually slowed down.

Yun Chenfei seized the opportunity, condensed all his spiritual power, gave a loud shout, and a dazzling sword light slashed straight at the Demonic Beast's head. The Demonic Beast crashed to the ground and dissipated into black smoke.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Yun Chenfei said, "This place is full of danger; we must proceed even more cautiously."

So, they continued to explore deep into the Misty Forest for the world purifying spiritual spring.

Everyone held their breath and tiptoed forward, each step appearing exceptionally careful and cautious.

After more than an hour, the crisp and pleasant sound of gurgling water reached their ears.

Yun Chenfei, who had been tense, now showed a hint of irrepressible joy on his face.

He slowed his pace slightly and murmured, "Could it be... that ahead is the world purifying spiritual spring?"

His words seemed to have magic, instantly putting a spring in the steps of the already excited group, and their pace involuntarily quickened.

Before long, they arrived together at a shimmering pond.

The pond was like a sapphire embedded in the earth, emitting a soft and enchanting blue light.

However, what was surprising was that the area around the pond was densely covered with strange and mysterious runes.

These runes were like invisible barriers, tightly surrounding the entire pond.

Driven by curiosity, Lin Guiwan couldn't suppress her impulse and was about to step closer to the pond for a better look. To her surprise, before she could even get near, a powerful force suddenly erupted from the runes, knocking the unprepared her back forcefully.

Quick-witted, Yun Chenfei rushed forward and steadily supported Lin Guiwan, who had almost fallen.

His brow furrowed tightly. After staring at those strange runes for a moment, he slowly said, "It looks like this world purifying spiritual spring has some kind of special protection mechanism."

For a while, everyone fell into deep thought, struggling to figure out how to solve this thorny problem.

Just as everyone was frowning in worry, Yan Qingying suddenly discovered an old and simple Stone Tablet standing beside the pond, its surface covered with obscure and difficult-to-understand ancient script.

The small and delicate exotic beast that had been following them also curiously approached the Stone Tablet and sniffed it lightly with its nose.

Then, it spoke, "In my opinion, to break the shackles of these runes, we probably need to find the person destined for the spiritual spring and have them drip their blood into the runes for it to take effect."
