Chapter 427: Skill Display, Checking the Cold Pool

They saw arrows coming for them from all directions. Dave, who had long received Vincent’s warning, did not show any signs of panic. He raised the Inquisitive God of the World in his hand and blocked all the arrows around him without the slightest bit of hesitation.

Vincent, who was at the side, simply raised his hand and waved it casually. He used the Art of Heaven’s Will to communicate with heaven and earth. He managed to form some chaotic airflow in the air, causing the arrows around him to draw strange arcs and bypass his body. They flew toward the left and right sides of the forest.

“Ah!”

Screams were heard. Vincent and Dave could confirm that they had been surrounded by an army!

Dave leaned to Vincent’s side and said with a frown, “This must be the main force that disappeared from Serene Spring City!”

Vincent nodded lightly and said, “Don’t bother about these soldiers for now. Let’s get to the cold pond first and confirm Darren’s whereabouts!”

“Alright!”

Dave nodded. He brandished his knife and rushed toward the forest at the front. The sound of water similar to a fountain was coming from that direction!

Vincent followed behind Dave step by step. He blocked all the arrows that came for him from behind. When the two of them passed through the last row of trees, the scene in front of them instantly became much brighter.

A natural space had opened up from inside a huge black stone that looked like a small building. A pool of cold spring water gushed out from the center of the stone. It fell into the pool of water below like a knife, making a crisp sound. It sounded like swords clashing.

What was even more surprising was that although the cold spring water continued to spurt out, the pond below still remained the same size. It was as if the spring water was flowing at the same speed.

Vincent and Dave were both curious about the pond below. However, they could only take a glance from afar. This was because there was a huge army in front of them.

“Outsiders and elves! They actually invaded this place. Everyone, get ready for battle. We can’t let these intruders disturb Lord Darren!”

A Dark Elf who looked like a general immediately ordered his soldiers after seeing Vincent and Dave. At the same time, he took out an arrow with a whistle as the arrowhead and shot it into the sky.

As the arrow flew into the sky, a long and ear-piercing whistle sounded. Rustling sounds could be heard from the surrounding woods. It was as if countless individuals were moving in that direction.

Dave held his weapon with both hands and said in a deep voice, “Good lord, it seems like there are thousands of soldiers and horses hiding in this small valley. What should we do next?”

Vincent said calmly, “There are two ways at the moment. One is to use modification authority to avoid these soldiers temporarily. The two of us will go and stop Darren! However, there are some issues with this method. This is because the two of us do not know the structure of the cold pond. Therefore, it will take us some time to enter the space tunnel to find Darren!”

Vincent continued, “The second method is to defeat all the troops here first, and then carefully study the strange features of the cold pond to determine Darren’s location. Based on my experience, there must be some secret hidden in the cold pond. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be in such a strange state!”

Dave immediately began to analyze both the options in his heart. Both methods were very practical, but they also had their own shortcomings. Opening the space tunnel directly would not lead to the current predicament, but it was not going to be easy to find their target. It was a method that would consume an infinite amount of time.

As for the second method, although they would not lose too much time, it would not be easy for them to eliminate all the troops hidden in the forest!

Dave quickly made a choice. He smiled and said to Vincent, “Vincent, I remember you said that you wanted to show me the special ability that comes with a weapon. I think now is the best time. How about it?”

After hearing Dave’s request, Vincent nodded slightly and said, “Alright, you have to watch carefully!”

Dave focused his attention and observed Vincent’s every move carefully.

The two of them had almost never talked behind anyone’s backs. At the same time, their discussion was heard by the general. After hearing that they wanted to use a special ability, the Dark Elf general immediately shouted, “Be careful and be on guard! Archers, immediately launch an attack. Don’t let the other party succeed!”

After receiving the general’s order, all the well-trained soldiers immediately took action. The soldiers holding spears immediately walked to the front of the camp. They raised their spears in a defensive stance. The Dark Elves who were holding magic staffs stood in the second echelon. They began to bless the soldiers at the front whilst preparing countless defensive spells.

The archers who were standing at the back row all drew their bows and arrows and shot toward Vincent and Dave!

As they were not shaded by the trees, Vincent and Dave were in a bad position. They were completely exposed. It was the perfect place for archers to launch an attack. Therefore, an even denser rain of arrows streaked across the air in the blink of an eye. The arrows shot toward Vincent and Dave at high speed.

After seeing the other party had suddenly launched such a terrifying attack, Dave no longer cared about Vincent’s display. He subconsciously wanted to swing his weapon to block the arrows.

However, at that moment, Vincent suddenly pulled out the Return Journey of the Dead from his waist and shouted in a deep voice, “Purgatory of Nature!”

As Vincent’s voice fell, the surrounding space instantly changed. The previously dark and quiet valley instantly turned into green land. A long river spewing lava appeared on the ground like a long snake.

Countless evil spirits with flames all over their bodies crawled out from the lava, roaring as they charged at the soldiers who were standing at the front.

At the same time, huge tombstones fell from the sky, smashing down on all the arrows that came. They also formed a defense around Vincent and Dave.

Dave’s eyes could not help but tremble after seeing the scene. He could not imagine that the ability that came with Vincent’s weapon would be so powerful. It did not lose out to Vincent’s flame ability and the modification authority.

“What a terrifying attack. I wonder if my weapon can develop such a powerful attack!”

Dave stood behind Vincent and could not help but sigh. His eyes were filled with envy and shock.

The Dark Elf army that had gathered in the valley immediately panicked after seeing the strange changes in their surroundings. They could no longer maintain their well-trained formation and could only shout as they fled in all directions. There were also some who did not wait for the general’s order and directly brandished their spears to fight against the lava demons that were running toward them.

For a moment, the entire Purgatory of Nature became like a pot of porridge. Vincent, who had caused all of the chaos was watching from afar with a calm expression.

After waiting for a moment, Vincent suddenly pulled Dave and said in a deep voice, “Let’s go! While everyone is trapped in the Purgatory of Nature! Let’s go and check out what is wrong with that cold pond!”

Dave wanted to rush forward and fight while the other party was panicking. However, after hearing Vincent’s instructions, he suddenly remembered the main purpose of their trip. He quickly suppressed his desire to fight in his heart and nodded. He replied, “Okay!”

Vincent walked along with Dave as if they were strolling leisurely in a garden. They were shuttling between the huge tombstones. They had successfully bypassed the sight of all the soldiers and had arrived at the edge of the Purgatory of Nature. Vincent stabbed his Return Journey of the Dead into the ground and said in a deep voice, “Once the Return Journey of the Dead leaves the range of the Purgatory of Nature, this space will immediately dissipate, so I have to leave it here. However, from here out is the location of the cold pond so it is convenient for me to retrieve the weapon at any time.

Dave nodded in a very manner. He then took a step forward together with Vincent. They walked out of the Purgatory of Nature.

What impressed Dave was that Vincent controlled the range of the Purgatory of Nature very well. They had just stepped out of the Purgatory of Nature and they were already standing on the shore of the cold pond. If they took one more step, they would fall into the cold pond.

“The spring water here looks very strange. The sound of swords clashing can be heard when they collide. Could this liquid be metal?”

Dave squatted down and looked at the clear bottom of the pond. While sighing, he reached out to touch the surface of the water out of curiosity.

“Be careful!”

Vincent reminded him quickly but it was already too late. Dave’s fingertips had already touched the cold pond water.

Dave suddenly frowned and instantly felt a sharp pain from his fingertips. Immediately after that, a layer of faint blood began to drift in the cold pond water. He could not help but pull back his fingers in shock and stand up to retreat.

Vincent extended his arm in time to stop Dave who was constantly retreating. He stopped him from re-entering the Purgatory of Nature.

Dave swallowed his saliva with a face full of shock. He lowered his head to look at his finger. He saw that his fingertip was covered with small wounds. He sighed, “How is this still spring water? It’s clearly a pool of blades!”

Vincent could not help but frown. He squatted down and spiritualized his right hand. He then stuck his hand deep into the pool of water. The raging flames on his palm were extinguished the moment they came into contact with the water. A palm that was purely made of flames was revealed.

This time, the cold spring water did not cut Vincent’s finger. Instead, it went along Vincent’s palm and transmitted a bone-chilling aura into his body.

Vincent quickly pulled out his right hand and clenched his fist. His entire arm was ignited with a fierce flame. It began to disperse the cold air that had invaded his body.

Vincent frowned and sighed, “So troublesome. Once the cold air from the pond enters one’s body. It will at the very least freeze our meridians and damage one’s cultivation. The worst-case scenario is that it will injure one’s life. Death is certain!”

When Dave heard this, he could not help but say helplessly, “Then what should we do? Could it be that this spring water has become an existence that we cannot provoke?”

“That may not be the case!” sighed Vincent in a deep voice. He raised his left hand that had a dark golden glow circulating around it.
