Chapter 428 Going to the Source of the Holy Spring (4000)

In the canyon, the wind and waves were still howling, and they were also carrying a lot of dust and sand. If you look down from a high altitude, you can find obvious vertical and horizontal lines. The pits and cracks are all traces of battle.

In the place where the pits and cracks are most dense, Kaxiu stood in the eyes of everyone, wearing a No. 2 Dark Hunter badge with an evil ghost logo on his right chest. Under the sunlight, the badge slightly reflects and reveals a metallic color.

It looks extremely conspicuous and quite attractive.

Behind the group of shadow hunters, Claire's seaweed-like hair was draped over her shoulders, revealing a smooth and white forehead. She looked at Kaxiu with a twinkling eye. Although she had expected it, the fact still made Claire feel a little magical. As soon as he became a shadow hunter, he challenged other veteran shadow hunters, and he succeeded, all the way to the No. 2 shadow hunter position.

Moreover, when the No. 1 shadow hunter Kasai came out to block him, it seemed that they were evenly matched? It was not until the Holy Light Hunter Dilixiati personally intervened that they stopped fighting. This was far beyond Claire's expectations.

She had naively thought that today was the final battle for the Shadow Hunter seat. Kashu would win the battle with a huge advantage and become the fifth Shadow Hunter. As a result, that was just an appetizer, a warm-up. The real drama was Kashu, who challenged other veteran Shadow Hunters as soon as he became a Shadow Hunter, and won the battle!

Next to Claire, the lion king Soth was pale, and his pride was like a bean sprout that had withered the day before. He is not a lion king now, nor can he be called a king. At most, he is a little lion with a high self-esteem.

He can't even beat a normal adult male lion, let alone the lion king of a team of lions. And the gap between Soth and Kashu is only greater than the gap between a little lion and a lion king. They are separated by the big stage gap of the shadow hunter level of strength, and there are three small stages of shadow hunters from one to five. Soth was powerless to compare...

When the gap is large enough, it will not inspire people's inner ambition to strive forward, but will only bring decadence and deep powerlessness.

At the same time, Thorn Solomon was in the same mood.

He had already climbed up from the ground, his clothes were covered with dust. His dark eyes stared at Kaxiu with a hint of unwillingness and jealousy. But he immediately shifted his sight, as if he was afraid that his thoughts would be noticed by Kaxiu.

"What happened to Zhuhun?"

"It's been a week, and the final battle is over..."

"Have they given up on me? Or have they changed themselves?"

The battle for the Shadow Hunter seat is over, and everyone has all kinds of different thoughts. After a short rest, everyone left the canyon in batches.

The last ones left were the Holy Light Hunter Dilixiati and the No. 1 Shadow Hunter Kasai. They simply filled in the traces of the battle to make sure that they would not cause too much damage to the canyon, and then went back to the imperial capital together.

On the way, No. 1 Shadow Hunter Kasai finally couldn't help but speak his mind.

"President, why don't you let me enter the third state? If I attack with the golden colossus, Bai Kui will never be my opponent..."

Kasai looked at Dilixiati next to him, with some complaints in his tone.

This is normal. He used the second form of the colossus to fight Kaxiu repeatedly before, but ended up at a disadvantage. He was just about to gather strength to enter the third form and teach this arrogant newcomer a lesson. But Dilixiati intervened at this time and calmed both of them down.

Kasai did as he was told, but he was still holding back his anger. Now that he and Dilixiati were alone, he naturally said it out.

On the side, Dilixiati took out a silver pocket watch from his chest pocket, opened the cover with his fingers, and glanced at the time. Then he turned around and said quietly.

"I just don't want you to lose too badly."

The meaning of the words was simple and straightforward, but Kasai couldn't accept it: "Too badly to lose?" He seemed to be angry and laughed, shaking his head: "Are you looking down on me too much? President, you should know my strength. When I cast the third stage of the Golden Colossus, even you would have to..."

"No." Kasai's words were interrupted by Dilixiati, who turned his head and looked at Kasai with his eyes, and said seriously: "It is because I know your strength that I said I don't want you to lose too badly."

Kasai raised his eyebrows, as if he realized something. His anger subsided all of a sudden, and he didn't say anything, motioning Dilixiati to finish his words.

"You were fighting him happily at that time, and I, a bystander, couldn't see it clearly. From your first form, the gray-white colossus, to your second form, the black-copper colossus. Bai Kui's attack rhythm did not change at all, and even his breathing frequency did not change, including when he was fighting with you in the black-copper colossus form..." Dilixiati said calmly word by word.

"..." Kasai opened his mouth, as if he wanted to argue, but he didn't say anything in the end. Because he knew that Dilixiati couldn't fool him, so the truth could only be that Bai Kui was calm and in control of the situation.

"And..." Dilixiati continued: "When you were about to cross from the black bronze giant to the golden giant, I felt a flash of extremely dangerous aura. That sense of crisis was hidden under your rising momentum. No one, including you, noticed it. Only I felt it at that moment. If it weren't for my perception that has never been wrong, I might have thought it was an illusion. But, it was not an illusion after all. The sense of danger from Bai Kui was enough to threaten me..."

The colossus Kasai remained silent. Although he claimed to be able to compete with Dilixiati for a short time, he was also appreciated by the black machine leader. But Kasai knew the gap between himself and Dilixiati. He could only barely fight with him in a short time by relying on the third stage of the golden colossus's burst. Once the burst period was over, his strength would soon decline to the original position. After all, if Kasai could really compete with Dilixiati, he would not be the number one dark hunter, but would have become a holy hunter long ago.

And Bai Kui could actually make Dilixiati feel the sense of danger, even if it was only vaguely, even if it was only for a moment. His hidden strength is probably not simple at all. If he forced himself to fight against him, he would probably get no benefit.

I'm afraid it's just like what Dilixiati said, the loss was too ugly...

After a long silence, Kasai broke the silence: "Why did Bai Kui join our Shadow Hunter Organization when he is so strong? He also pretended to be stupid and hid for three years, and has been a Black Bronze Hunter..."

Kasai added at the end: "Does he have any purpose?"

"It's hard to say." Dilixiati paused: "I think he is sincere, at least he is willing to abide by our rules. He is so powerful, but he still follows the procedures and rules of the Shadow Hunter seat. Moreover, he exposed his hidden strength as soon as he became a Shadow Hunter. This can be seen as a kind of Showing goodwill? Showing off his muscles openly dispels my more malicious suspicions. Logically speaking, Bai Kui's various actions indicate that he cannot be our enemy..."

"Moreover, Bai Kui comes from the secret martial arts world. It can be said that he has little to do with the extraordinary world that we are involved in controlling, and there will be no conflict in terms of interests. At least, he extremely hates dark creatures, which we can be sure of. And, there is no reason for us to not use such a top combat force that can deal with dark creatures. In addition, we can also take this opportunity to observe and study those mysterious secret warriors. Especially top secret warriors like him, the organization has no chance to contact them before..."

Dilixiati said one by one. In fact, he and the head of the Black Agency have long been paying attention to the sudden emergence of Kaxiu, the dark horse. It's just that they have been observing in secret, allowing Kaxiu to play without interfering.

The head of the Black Agency means that if Kaxiu can show enough strength and value, everyone can have a good chat.

For example, the same interests and the same enemies.

In recent years, the head of the Black Agency has actually felt that something is wrong with the situation, as if there are invisible undercurrents surging in the shadow of Florence. Just waiting for an opportunity to erupt...

This is what he noticed through the clues of one thing after another while dealing with a large number of affairs of the Dark Hunter Organization. It is a sign, and there is no particularly specific enemy. But the head of the agency thinks that it is mostly related to the contradiction between the three parties of the Royal Council of the Dark Hunter Organization, and it is also related to some mysterious external forces. He already has several suspects, but further investigation and in-depth understanding are needed.

The head of the Black Agency allowed Kaxiu to develop, and there were also some intentions in it. Generally speaking, the Dark Hunter Organization does not exclude Kaxiu from joining.

Dilixiati and Kasai chatted for a while and did not stay on the road for a long time. Soon they left the canyon and returned to the headquarters of the Florence Organization.

There was a small accident here. The head of the Black Agency had something to do temporarily and went out. It may be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow before he can return to the headquarters.

He left a message to his confidant and asked Dilixiati to follow the normal process. So Dilixiati simply put what he was going to do tomorrow morning on today, that is, to take Kaxiu directly to the source of the holy spring water.

The two of them took a short break in the hall of the Hunter Association, and finally suddenly came to a secret room and found a tunnel under a certain floor.

Dilixiati took Kaxiu into the tunnel and walked into the darkness.

At this moment, the news that Kaxiu became a shadow hunter had spread in the Hunter Association. Many hunters who were free during the task window went to the bar to order a beer and started to brag and chat with their companions. There were also hunters who had predicted the final winner of the Shadow Hunter seat before fulfilling their verbal promises, or drinking three barrels of beer in a row and getting drunk. Or they picked up sharp weapons in public and shaved themselves into a shiny bald head.

There were also those who boasted and were not ashamed, closed their eyes, took off their clothes, and ran around the bar ten times in a row with bare feet. They were still shouting "I am a pig". All kinds of weird things happened today.

Some people envy, some people question, some people are jealous, and some people are sad...

And Kaxiu and Dilixiati have left the headquarters of the Dark Hunter Organization in the seventh district, and have even left the city of Florence, the imperial capital. They wandered around in the tunnel, and seemed to reach the surface several times, and then changed to another tunnel. It was like walking for hours like a maze before stopping.

Kaxiu kept his eyes closed and followed Dilixiati all the way.

He kept hearing even footsteps until the footsteps suddenly stopped. He understood that the source of the Holy Spring of the Dark Hunter Organization had finally arrived.

He opened his eyes and saw that it was pitch black in front of him, with only dim light shining in. Kaxiu glanced and felt that he should be in a cave. He looked at Dilixiati next to him, and Dilixiati nodded, indicating that Kaxiu could walk out of the cave together.

A few dozen steps outside, the light became brighter and brighter, and there was a faint sound of water. Dingdingdongdong, as pleasant as the sound of a piano.

Going further forward, the rich, slightly sweet smell of water vapor hits your nose.

After taking a step, the view in front of me suddenly opened up. This is a sunken circular valley, like the mouth of a dead volcano. The surrounding area is full of steep cliffs covered with climbing vines. Dense jungle shrubs cover the ground, full of snake-like twisted tree roots and a layer of green and smooth moss. Next to the cave, there is a circle of circular empty space, with several large square stones like stairs stacked up. There is a V-shaped depression in the middle, and golden water flows down. It rolls and falls like liquid metal.

Finally, it falls on the surface of the light golden pool with a clatter, stirring up layers of ripples. When the water droplets break, it's like a glass ball breaking.

From a distance, Kaxiu can feel the surging vitality.

There is a half-person-high stone beside the pool, and an old tree is entangled next to the stone. I don't know if it's because of the years of being soaked in the holy spring water, the stone actually turned transparent gold, shining in the sunlight. The old tree is also extraordinary, the whole trunk is like glass, the leaves are also golden, rustling in the wind. However, there are some bone-eroding black climbing in the gaps between the trunks, revealing a sense of coldness and evil. Just like the hidden dangers under the prosperous times...

"The pool is not deep, only less than one meter. You can soak directly with your clothes on, I will wait for you next to you. You can call me when you are ready..."

Dilixiati walked towards the stone while speaking, and then sat cross-legged. There was a faint thunder in his body, obviously improving his abilities.

Kaxiu glanced at it and put his eyes back on the pool of golden water. He walked slowly, step by step. The whole body was submerged, leaving only the head exposed. As soon as the skin came into contact with the holy spring water, the body was like a dry sponge, sucking instinctively. In an instant, streams of warm energy poured into his body from all directions.

Countless holy springs of water poured in, like a giant liquid cocoon that wrapped Kaxiu, as if to breed a stronger existence.

In the pool of water, on the back of his hand, the platinum holy mark slowly lit up. At the same time, at the top of the staircase boulder, in the center of a pool of golden springs. It seemed that a half-broken rune began to flicker, responding to the light...
