Chapter 1027

The so-called Sweet Spring is actually a small, neatly maintained, and ordinary-looking hot spring. The spring water is enclosed by a circular wall, and the wall is entirely white, making its color very distinct against the light blue spring water.

The hot spring is bubbling and steaming. Su Yu looks at the spring water in the pool and even wonders whether this stuff is actually drinkable.

Could it be for people to bathe in?

But the place the deity pointed him to is here. If he wants to detoxify, he can only try drinking the spring water here.

Besides, Su Yu and that deity are only just acquainted; the other party has no reason to harm him.

Su Yu thinks for a moment, sits on the wall, and scoops up a handful of spring water. The water quality is excellent; the spring water looks clear and clean, and the sensation on his palm is warm.

This is a spring water that carries heat.

Su Yu puts the handful of water to his lips and, without much hesitation, drinks it down.

The warm spring water touches his lips and tongue, then flows down his throat into his stomach. In that instant, Su Yu feels as if the spring water has magic; it instantly permeates his entire body, using its so-called magic to help him detoxify in a flash.

His lungs, which had been breathing with extreme heaviness, also change significantly because of the arrival of the spring water. The lungs no longer have that heavy, uncomfortable feeling of being pressed; instead, they return to their original state, and breathing becomes extremely smooth.

Su Yu feels the changes in his body. He takes a deep breath, looks down at the spring water in the pool, stands up from the wall, and walks a few steps casually.

He is certain that he no longer needs to worry about the effects of the poison; the spring water has already detoxified him.

And when the poison is cleared, Su Yu thinks again of what the Lion Beast told him earlier.

Especially regarding the ability to resurrect, Su Yu is extremely eager to obtain it. With one more ability, he has one more bargaining chip in his hand.

So Su Yu walks hurriedly and immediately heads out of the maze.

He has already memorized the path inside the maze, so this time he manages to get out without spending much time. And when he pushes open this great gate of the maze and looks out, sure enough, he sees the Lion Beast standing at the entrance.

Su Yu's expression shifts, and he walks toward the Lion Beast, but the Lion Beast suddenly retreats, its expression strange.

Su Yu's pace falters, and he stops. He stares at the Lion Beast's face in confusion and asks, "What kind of expression is that?"

The Lion Beast shakes its head, but looking at Su Yu's expression is like seeing a ghost. Even if Su Yu were slow-witted, he would realize something is wrong by now.

"What exactly is wrong?" Su Yu frowns, his expression carrying some confusion.

The Lion Beast's expression can even be described as horrified. It opens its mouth, but says nothing. After looking at Su Yu, its eyes keep shifting toward the back, as if some terrifying monster were hidden inside the maze.

Su Yu seems to vaguely understand something: "Do you mean there is something in there that you fear?"

The Lion Beast hesitates for a moment, then nods.

Su Yu suddenly laughs: "Isn't there just the deity of an ancient tree in there? So that's what you fear."

"However..." Su Yu's expression suddenly becomes somewhat meaningful. He lowers his head, and there is a sense of inquiry in his eyes as he looks at the Lion Beast, "Since you fear what is inside, why did you let me go in?"

The Lion Beast seems startled. It stammers unexpectedly: "You were poisoned... so I let you go in to find the antidote..."

· ········Seeking flowers···· ········

"Wrong," Su Yu says, "You seem very surprised that I could come out. You are the guardian beast here, right? But if I'm not mistaken, you should have never entered the maze, and didn't you lead the way before? Your expression was very terrified then."

The Lion Beast retreats another step without a trace.

Su Yu notices, so he closes in on it: "You thought I didn't notice? I never trusted you from the beginning, but you were the only one who told me the key to detoxification, so I had no choice but to believe you."

0......... 0

The Lion Beast is somewhat afraid to meet Su Yu's eyes: "Y-yeah, and didn't you come out? Otherwise, why do you think I'm standing here? Isn't it because I'm waiting for you?"

"Waiting for me?" Su Yu seems to find it somewhat amusing, "Honestly, even now I don't think you want to harm me, so what is your goal? Is it your attitude of using me as bait to probe what's inside? Or do you have another purpose?"

The Lion Beast suddenly feels a chill all over. It discovers that all of this seems unable to escape Su Yu's eyes; he is too sharp. Even when lying, the Lion Beast has to wonder if Su Yu will discover it.

But since the other party has already guessed most of it, the Lion Beast does not want to hide it anymore. It looks straight into Su Yu's eyes and simply says it directly: "You actually guessed some of it right. I do fear that kind of thing inside, but I dare not go in."

"As the master here, if you want to detoxify, the only way is to drink the Sweet Spring. I told you the method to detoxify. Whatever you encountered inside, you can't blame me, right?"

"Besides, didn't you come out safe and sound? And you weren't injured either."
