We Agreed to Set Sail, but You Became the Ruler of the Deep Sea?

"simple……"

Anqi's voice was soft and slightly hoarse.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"I didn't expect you to find the [Elf Secret Realm]."

Jane's expression was very complicated, and she murmured, "Grandma..."

Although the memories of the past have become vague, after seeing An Qi in person, those past events that I thought I had forgotten still came to my mind one by one.

It made her feel deeply moved.

Soon, Anqi's eyes fell on An, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

“Lila… is that you, Leila?

Looking at An Qi in front of him, An inexplicably felt a sense of closeness in his heart.

But Ann still shook her head and said, "No, I'm not Leila, my name is Ann."

"In fact, we came to the [Elf Secret Realm] this time to find Leila's message."

"……install?"

An Qi was stunned: "Could it be that..."

But she had a lot of experience after all. After a brief surprise, she calmed down and turned to look at Shane.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should be the Captain Shane that Leila mentioned, right?"

Shane nodded: "It's me."

An Qi said softly: "This should clearly be our first meeting."

"But I feel like I've seen you somewhere."

Shane was a little surprised.

Thousands of years have passed since he saved Angel in the state of [Projected Body].

I didn't expect that An Qi still had some impression of it.

However, now is not the time to reminisce.

Soon, Kunti took a step forward, held Angie's hand, and spoke in a rapid and heavy tone.

"Mother, [Black Sun in the Sky] has appeared, and one sun has gone out."

“What should we do now?”

"【Black Sun in the Sky】? Leila's prophecy came true again?"

An Qi's brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.

Shane added, "I guess the three suns are the core of the barrier."

"And the extinguishing of one of them means that the power of the barrier is weakening."

"And [Evil God of Destiny] will also use this opportunity to infiltrate its power into this [Secret Realm]."

An Qi nodded and said, "Your guess is correct."

"The three suns in the sky are indeed the core of the barrier."

Kunti asked slightly anxiously.

"Then how should we repair the barrier?"

An Qi pondered for a moment and replied, "Repairing the barrier requires a special material - water from the Fountain of Life."

"It is the energy source of the barrier and can repair damaged nodes."

Kunti explained: "It contains powerful life energy and is one of the most precious resources in our tribe."

"In that case, let's go to the [Fountain of Life] immediately and retrieve the spring water."

Shane said decisively.

However, at this moment.

An elf warrior rushed into the temple in a hurry, his face pale and his expression panicked.

"Oh no! The [Fountain of Life]... The [Fountain of Life] has been polluted!"

"What?!"

Kunti and Angie exclaimed at the same time.

"What's going on?"

Shane asked immediately, feeling vaguely uneasy.

The soldier was breathing heavily, his voice trembling.

"We just discovered that not long after the Black Sun appeared, the water of the Fountain of Life became turbid and emitted a strange smell."

"Also...many strange monsters appeared around the spring."

"They can manipulate our emotions, making us irritable, angry, or even crazy!"

"Some warriors...some warriors seemed to be controlled. They took the initiative to walk towards those monsters and never came back!"

Shane frowned: "A monster that controls emotions?"

It was the first time he heard of the existence of such a monster.

What concerned him more was...

Could this monster be related to [Evil God of Destiny]?

"We must go to the [Fountain of Life] immediately!"

At this moment, An Qi stood up and said firmly: "If the spring water is completely polluted, it will become impossible to repair the barrier."

"Without further delay, let's go!"

Shane nodded and led everyone to quickly leave the temple and head towards the Fountain of Life.

Everyone quickly passed through the dense forest and headed towards the Fountain of Life.

As the distance shortened, the air around them gradually became heavier, as if an invisible pressure was covering the area.

The leaves and branches of the trees were no longer green, but a sickly gray-brown color.

As if eroded by some force.

On the ground, the flowers and plants that were once full of vitality have withered and died, emitting a decayed smell.

This situation is somewhat similar to the previous encounter with the clone of the Corrupted Apostle, but there are also obvious differences.

When they arrived near the Fountain of Life, the scene before them was shocking.

The spring water was originally crystal clear, but now it has become turbid.

A small part of the water surface was covered with strange black ripples, as if countless shadows were swimming in it.

On the ground around the spring, there were many corpses of elven warriors lying in disorder.

Among them there are many fifth- and sixth-level strongmen.

Their expressions were distorted and their eyes were filled with fear and pain.

He had obviously experienced great mental torture before his death.

There was a sickening stench in the air.

Accompanied by low roars, it seemed as if countless invisible monsters were watching them in the dark.

“This…what on earth is this…”

Seeing this scene, the elves who came over nearby couldn't help but change their expressions suddenly.

And soon, the emotions of these elves began to get out of control.

They became restless, with a frantic look in their eyes.

Some people even began to roar in a low voice, as if they would lose control at any time.

Shane's face was solemn, and he looked around vigilantly.

Just at this moment.

A huge monster slowly emerged from the shadow of the spring.

Its body was twisted, as if woven from countless dark tentacles.

Its body was covered with wriggling eyes, each emitting a heart-pounding red light.

The monster's head has no fixed shape.

Sometimes it looks like a distorted human face, sometimes like a ball of dark fog.

Its very existence is like a challenge to reason.

Just looking at it makes people feel dizzy and filled with endless fear and anger.

"roar!!!"

The monster let out a shrill scream, and the surrounding elf warriors fell into chaos.

Some people covered their ears and fell to their knees in pain.

Others had red eyes, brandished weapons, and frantically attacked their companions.

The monster seemed to be able to manipulate their emotions in some way, amplifying their fear and anger infinitely until they completely lost their minds.

"Be careful! Don't look into its eyes!"

An Qi reminded loudly, but it was a little late.

Several elf warriors had been controlled by the monster's power and rushed towards Shane and others.

Xia En's face turned cold, and his figure flashed like a black light.

In just a few blinks of an eye, the elves were knocked unconscious.

Then he turned and looked at the strange monster in the spring.

The moment he saw the other person, Xia En could tell that the other person possessed the [Filthy Secret Power]!

However, the secret power of this monster is neither the power of sin of the [Apostle of Sin] nor the power of corruption of the [Apostle of Corruption].

Instead, it has another indescribable filthy quality.

Just as Shane looked at the monster.

All the eyes on the monster turned to Shane.

Shane felt an invisible force coming towards him, as if countless pairs of eyes were spying on his heart.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Trying to stir up the fear and anger deep inside him.

However.

Shane's mental strength has long surpassed that of ordinary people. Having experienced countless life and death tests, he will not be easily shaken.

He snorted coldly, and the [Secret Power of the Void] in his body quietly started to operate, isolating the power that tried to invade his mind.

"This level of manipulation doesn't work on me."

Shane's voice was cold and firm. He raised his hand and was about to use [Void Collapse] to kill the monster.

But suddenly.

A shrill laugh suddenly sounded from within the many-eyed monster.

"Prey...Interesting..."

“The Sign of the Lord…”

"Um?"

Shane frowned, "Lord? Mark?"

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that he had killed the [Apostle of Sin].

It seemed as if he had been marked with some invisible mark by [Hushi Ming].

Will be targeted by the [Apostles of Chaos].

And since this monster said such words, it means that it is the minion of [Hui Siming]!

However, it is very likely the manifestation of the secret power of another [Apostle of Chaos].

Xia En's eyes focused, and the [Secret Power of the Void] in his body surged instantly, and a faint black halo appeared around his body.

The armor of [Great Dark Sky] was instantly draped over his body.

He stared coldly at the many-eyed monster, his voice low and cold.

"Since you are a minion of [Evil God], don't blame me for being rude."

The monster let out a shrill scream, and the countless eyes on its body flashed scarlet light at the same time.

As if laughing at Shane's arrogance.

Its tentacles suddenly stretched out, like countless black whips, sweeping towards Shane.

"careful!"

An Qi's voice came from behind, with a hint of anxiety.

Shane didn't move at all, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Just when the tentacles were about to touch him, his figure suddenly disappeared, as if merging into the void.

【Traveling through the void! 】

The next moment.

Shane's figure appeared above the monster's head, and a pitch-black void blade condensed in his hand, with a heart-pounding cold light flashing on the blade.

He swung his sword down without hesitation.

The Void Blade cut through the air, leaving a dark crack and heading straight for the core of the monster.

This knife may look ordinary, but in fact it can even cut through space.

However, the monster reacted extremely quickly. Its body twisted suddenly, and countless tentacles quickly returned to defend, blocking the Void Blade.

The moment the blade collided with the tentacle, there was a dull explosion.

The power of the void and the secret power of filth clashed fiercely, and a disgusting stench filled the air.

"roar!"

The monster let out a painful roar, and several of its tentacles were cut off by the Void Blade.

Black liquid gushed out of the wound and fell to the ground.

It instantly corroded and left a charred mark.

Shane didn't give the monster a chance to breathe. His figure flashed again and appeared on the side of the monster.

He put his hands together, and the [Secret Power of the Void] condensed into a black energy ball in his palms, which he then suddenly pushed out.

"Void collapse!"

The energy ball expanded instantly and turned into a huge black hole.

The terrifying suction force distorted and swallowed the surrounding air, light, and even space.

The monster's body was pulled by the black hole, and countless tentacles struggled frantically, trying to break free from this force.

However, the power of [Void Collapse] is far beyond its imagination.

The monster's body was gradually pulled into the black hole.

But even so, there was still no fear in its countless eyes.

All we have is endless ridicule and mockery.

"The power of the Lord...will contaminate everything..."

"Heart-stealing Apostle... Greetings to you..."

Shane stared at it coldly, his voice cold.

"Your Lord cannot save you."

With a final shrill roar, the monster's body was completely swallowed by the black hole and disappeared without a trace.

The black hole also dissipated, leaving only a faint fishy smell in the air.

Proof of the fierce battle just now.

Xia En landed slowly on the ground, and the void force around him gradually receded.

He turned to look at An Qi and the others, and said in a deep voice: "This monster is indeed a minion of [Evil Siming]."

"It seems that as the protective barrier becomes weaker, His power has begun to penetrate the [Elf Secret Realm]."

"really……"

An Qi's face became extremely solemn.

She slowly walked to Shane's side and cast her eyes towards the Fountain of Life that had returned to calm.

The water was still turbid, with black ripples slowly rippling across the surface, as if telling of some ominous omen.

"Just... [Heart-stealing Apostle]?"

Joey murmured, "This is the first time I've heard of this name."

Xia En guessed: "This should be another apostle under [Humiliation]."

"His ability should be related to controlling other people's minds."

Shane looked at the unconscious soldiers.

He could feel that as the [filthy secret power] dissipated, they would gradually regain clarity.

At this time, An Qi walked forward, looked at the turbid spring water with a serious expression, and said in a low voice.

“The pollution of [The Fountain of Life] is more serious than I thought.”

"If it is not purified quickly, the entire [Elf Secret Realm] will be in crisis."

An frowned: "But, what should we do?"

"Purification Stone"

Angel said, "If we have the power of the [Purification Stone], perhaps we can restore the [Fountain of Life] to its former state."

"only……"

Shane frowned slightly: "Just what?"

An Qi had a bitter smile on her face.

"In the current [Elf Secret Realm], the [Purification Stone] may no longer exist."

Shane's heart sank: "What does this mean?"

An Qi explained: "In fact, originally, the [Elf Secret Realm] had its own indigenous inhabitants."

"And this [Fountain of Life] and [Purification Stone] are actually theirs."
