Chapter 112: Myriad Water Source

And as Lin Yifan was looking at the distant hillside, Ruan Qingtan had somehow walked up beside him.

Moreover, following his line of sight, she discovered that small hillside, compared it with the image in the picture, and immediately noticed something odd, saying:

"You don't think that hillside looks a bit like the one in the image, do you?"

Lin Yifan nodded, speaking in a low voice:

I do have this feeling; from the recorded image, the town and valley were originally not far apart, and we are now at the town's ruins, so judging by distance, that hillside's position corresponds exactly.

Hearing this, Ruan Qingtan furrowed her brow, after looking carefully several times, she said doubtfully:

Judging by distance, they are indeed about the same, except that the hillside in the image has a stone ball on it, which this hillside seems to lack.

Moreover, there should be two hills in front of Sam, not just one! Could we have gotten the direction wrong?

I just looked around, and only that place has a hill!" Lin Yifan said in a low voice:

The seas have turned to fields; it's been who-knows-how-many years since the accident occurred here, so some changes in terrain are normal, and being able to leave even a trace of the original is already fortunate!

Whether or not, let's go take a look first!" Hu Shaoqiang, standing nearby, interjected.

That's right, let's go take a look first." After making the decision, Lin Yifan took the lead and swam toward that hillside.

Although he knew the resentful spirits in this instance had already been eliminated, he still didn't dare let his guard down, still holding a machete with a wary expression.

The distance from the town ruins to the hillside is about two kilometers; fortunately they have now turned into merfolk, otherwise swimming over would not be easy.

After about ten minutes, the group of four finally stood at the base of the hillside.

So this is actually two hills!" Ruan Qingtan exclaimed in surprise, standing at the base of the hills.

Because this is not a single hill but two hills placed side by side; from the direction they were previously facing, only one could be seen.

As for the stone balls on the hills, one remains, while the other has rolled who-knows-where.

But that doesn't matter; they came to find the altar, not to sightsee.

After briefly adjusting themselves in front of the two hills, Lin Yifan took the lead and swam into the valley.

Once a valley filled with birdsong and floral fragrance, it is now overgrown with aquatic weeds, occasional small fish darting through, and no trace of the image remains.

Lin Yifan and the others could only follow the general direction and begin searching for the altar.

Unfortunately, after searching all around, they found nothing.

Ruan Qingtan said with a headache: "Although we can now be certain the altar is here, too much time has passed, making it very hard to find!"

Lin Yifan also frowned slightly, because although the valley floor had no silt, it was covered with a thick layer of sand and stone.

Even if there really were an altar here, it would have long been buried under sand and stone; searching this way makes it impossible to find.

Whoa! What is this? How beautiful!

Just then, since there was no danger here, the freely playing Xiao Hudie suddenly let out an exclamation.

Lin Yifan turned his head and saw Xiao Hudie cupping a round object the size of an egg in her hands.

"What is this?" Hong Shaoqiang, standing beside Xiao Hudie, took the round object, examined it closely, and said curiously:

"It feels like a crystal ball."

Lin Yifan walked over and then realized the sphere was completely transparent, with only a tiny blue water droplet at its center, which rippled slightly as the sphere swayed.

"The blue droplet inside is actually a water droplet!" Ruan Qingtan said, full of curiosity.

Lin Yifan nodded, took the crystal ball from Hong Shaoqiang's hand, observed it carefully for a moment, and then said in a low voice:

"A water droplet sealed inside the crystal ball—this must be the secret we're looking for!"

"Wait, I know what this is!"

At the moment he took the ball into his hand, his mind was flooded with a string of information, just like when he previously touched the discarded forbidden curse.

【Myriad Water Source】 (sealed, sealed by Keluositin)

【This is a precious droplet of the Myriad Water Source, which can turn into a devastating flood that inundates everything, and can also absorb all water in the world, thus being both the source of life and the source of water disasters.】

【The crystal ball sealing the Myriad Water Source is made of ancient ice crystal, which can keep the Myriad Water Source dormant; to use the Myriad Water Source, one must first break the seal.】

【The method to break the seal: Keluositin's prayer】

Seeing this string of information, Lin Yifan's heart jolted.

He had long suspected that this instance might be related to the impending Heavy Rain Disaster, and that perhaps a way to dispel the disaster could be found within this instance.

This solution is not the instance task reward's Blueprint for Water Avoidance Talisman; although Jade Water Lake indeed allows some people to survive, truly dispelling the disaster cannot be done merely with Water Avoidance Talismans.

He had previously obtained the Blueprint for Strong Mosquito Repellent, but when the Mosquito Disaster truly arrived, the Strong Mosquito Repellent could let some people survive, yet making most people survive remained impossible.

Because the blueprint exists only in a single copy, and production also requires materials; even if materials were sufficient, he alone could not produce tens of thousands of Strong Mosquito Repellent.

The Water Avoidance Talisman targets the second disaster; its production difficulty is only higher than that of the repellent, so even if he left the instance now and returned to the Shelter to start making them, how many Water Avoidance Talismans could he produce?

Therefore, he has always believed that this is not the true way to solve the Heavy Rain Disaster.

The true method, he has still not found.

Just like with the Mosquito Swarm Disaster, he also hasn't found the true solution; otherwise, so many people wouldn't have died in that disaster.

And this droplet of the Myriad Water Source before him is precisely what can completely resolve the Heavy Rain Disaster.

He must obtain it.

Whether for himself or for everyone in the District, he must gain control of this Myriad Water Source droplet.

And to obtain the Myriad Water Source, the primary prerequisite is to break the seal.

Lin Yifan furrowed his brow, after sharing the information he had seen with the few people present, he said with a headache:

This task is really not easy to accomplish!

Ruan Qingtan also furrowed her brow, speaking helplessly:

How many years has Keluositin been dead? His corpse has long turned to ashes—where can we go to pray to him!

This is simply an impossible task!
