As soon as Allen and others approached, the spring water started to stir.
Two strange figures slowly emerged from the water.
It looks like a thick python made of water.
The upper body twisted out of the water, and the smooth head showed no facial features.
The lower body of the strange snake is submerged in the spring water.
Integrated with the clear spring water, no trace can be found.
"This is Shuizui, a water element monster."
Ryan lowered his voice and explained to the young man beside him.
"For some unknown reason, Shuigui has been guarding the 'Teleportation Spring' for thousands of years."
"They are happy to provide teleportation services to travelers, as long as they don't throw dirty things into the water, such as feces, rotting corpses, and poison."
"Otherwise, the water monster will be angered and the polluter will be dragged into the water and drowned alive!"
Uncle Ryan stood in front of the spring. Without rushing into the water to teleport, he opened the storage bag and took out a palm-sized feather.
Allen cast a curious look. The golden feathers looked like they were plucked from a griffin, emitting soft magic waves.
"Don't get close to the spring. Try summoning creatures first."
Ryan placed the golden feathers on the ground and recited the incantation in a low voice.
Poof!
The feathers suddenly exploded and turned into a thick mist.
In the mist, the majestic figure of the gryphon can be vaguely seen.
In the blink of an eye, the fog dissipated.
What appeared in front of everyone instead of feathers was a majestic golden griffin.
Although it looks similar, Allen knows that this is not a real griffin, but a summoned creature shaped by magic.
Its physical attributes and habits are the same as those of a living griffon. It can also communicate telepathically with the summoner and completely obey the summoner's orders.
When not needed, you can also counter-summon it and turn it back into a griffin feather.
Including this griffon, all summoned creatures will be decomposed into disordered magic power the moment they are killed, leaving no real flesh and blood corpses.
The Griffin family has been engaged in research on griffons for generations.
This magical object that can summon griffins is one of the research results that the Griffin family is proud of.
The only disadvantage is that the enchanting materials are expensive, much more expensive than taming a living griffon, and cannot be popularized.
Ryan sent out a mental wave and ordered the gryphon to walk into the spring.
On the opposite side, a water monster squirmed and crawled over.
Stretch out your transparent and slender body and wrap around the griffin.
The young people beside the spring couldn't help but hold their breath.
Under their nervous gaze, the griffin was dragged down into the spring by the water trick, and then became transparent, as if melting into the clear water.
Shui Wei is also invisible in the water and disappears quietly.
After a while, the water surface stirred up waves again.
The water trick emerged, waiting for the next teleporter to approach.
Uncle Ryan closed his eyes, as if he was meditating.
In fact, it is a spiritual connection with the griffon.
After a few seconds, he opened his eyes, smiled, and said to Allen and others: "The gryphon is still alive, and the teleportation spring is safe!"
After hearing what he said, everyone felt relieved.
Next, they entered the spring in pairs, and under the embrace of Shui Gui, they were teleported to the next station one after another.
……
Teleport Spring, the seventh station.
Circus leader Ethan stood by the water with his hands behind his hands.
Gazing at the white waves rising on the water, I was lost in thought.
Behind him stood five other members of the circus.
The "Hercules" is two meters tall and wears only a leather vest on his upper body, revealing his strong arms and thick body hair.
The "Puppet Master" is tightly wrapped in a cloak, with his hood hanging low, and the joints of his limbs often make the sound of gears turning.
A short, child-like "dwarf magician" wearing a tuxedo, a top hat, and a cane.
A "clown" wearing colorful costumes, weird makeup, and a red ball on his nose.
And, one of the only female members in the circus - the "snake charmer".
This is a very strangely dressed young woman who is almost half-naked.
His hair was shaved, and his head reflected light.
Heavy makeup, scarlet lips, and deliberately black eye makeup look like a panda.
All over her body, in addition to necklaces, bracelets, anklets and other jewelry, she also wears shiny gold nose rings, lip rings, earrings, R rings and navel rings.
The hip-length short skirt and a narrow chest wrap were the only fabrics on her body, exposing a large area of dark and delicate skin, as if she was showing off her hot figure.
A giant python, seven or eight meters long, was weaving and coiling under the snake charmer's feet.
Sometimes he raises his head, spits out the purple-red bifurcated core, and licks the hostess's bare thighs intimately, as if to please his spouse.
At this time, the roar of a griffin came from the distance in the swamp, interrupting Ethan's thoughts.
The circus director turned around and asked calmly: "Knife thrower and ventriloquist, have you replied to your letter?"
"Not yet." The magician shook his head and spread his hands.
"Where's the trainer?"
"No news either."
Ethan sighed, his eyes becoming a little sinister.
The agreed time has expired.
The people who should come have not come yet, and the people who should not come are getting closer and closer.
He had to consider the worst outcome.
After pondering for a while, Ethan said to his men: "You go first and guard the entrance of the mushroom garden, don't let outsiders break in."
The strong man, the puppeteer, the magician, the snake charmer and the clown all took orders in unison and walked towards the spring.
Six water monsters surfaced, entangling the five people and the snake charmer's giant python.
In the blink of an eye, five people and one python disappeared into the water.
Team leader Ethan, stay in the last one to teleport.
Before leaving, I made some special arrangements.
When his figure merged into the water, the capsules quietly thrown into the spring water also dissolved.
Within two minutes, the poison in the capsule will seep out, contaminating the teleportation spring without anyone noticing.
A thunderbolt has been laid for those who come after you!
……
After Ethan left, Allen and others arrived at the last teleportation spring less than half an hour later.
Everyone was about to approach, but Allen raised his hand to stop them.
"Everyone, be careful! The spring water has a toxin reaction!"
"Spring water does not produce toxins for no reason. It seems that the human traffickers have discovered that we have caught up with them and deliberately poisoned the water."
Uncle Ryan groaned, used the golden feather talisman to summon the griffin again, and ordered the griffin to enter the water.
"Let's try it first to see how toxic it is."
If the griffin is poisoned, the spring water can also threaten members of the Griffin family.
On the contrary, if the poison has little effect on the griffin, everyone will have the confidence to carry it with their own bodies.
The result was unexpected. The griffon alerted the guardian of the teleportation spring before it even came into contact with the poisonous spring water.
Six water monsters sprang out at the same time, frantically besieging the griffon!
Like six transparent giant pythons, they entangled the poor griffin from head to toe and dragged them into the water.
The griffin was submerged in the spring water from head to toe, and it fluttered desperately, causing large waves to appear on the water.
As Allen and others watched, the griffin gradually stopped struggling and finally drowned in the water.
The griffin's corpse decomposed into disorderly magical threads and dissipated in the air, leaving only a faded and dim feather floating on the water.
With the death of the summoned creature, the feather as the summoning medium also loses its magic power and degenerates into an ordinary feather.
"It seems that the trouble is not only that the spring water has been poisoned, but what's more terrible is that the water monsters are also polluted by toxins and have become insane."
"Now they have abandoned their mission of teleportation and switched to hunting any creature that comes close to the spring."
"Even if we kill all these crazy water monsters, it's useless! If we kill them all, who will help us teleport?"
Uncle Ryan sighed and frowned.
Could it be that this hunting trip can only be abandoned halfway?
"Alan! I remember that your enlightenment mentor was a master of pharmacy. Do you have any way to neutralize the toxins in the spring water?"
Felin looked at Allen, his eyes full of expectation.
"If the spring water is purified, the water monsters will return to normal!"
"Well..." Allen touched his chin and said slowly, "I can give it a try."
"Just tell me what you need!" Felin urged excitedly.
"The first step is to collect samples of spring water. I have to analyze the types of toxins in the water, and then I will know if there is any way to detoxify them."
"Then... I still need some time to refine the antidote, so everyone must be prepared to wait patiently."
"Of course it's no problem!"
Ryan rushed to answer for his son.
"It's getting dark. Today's adventure ends here. You will camp by the spring. Be careful to stay away from the activities of the water monsters. I will be responsible for collecting the spring water."
Uncle Ryan is worthy of being the leader of the clan, leading the way and acting vigorously and resolutely.
It transforms into the form of a griffin, holding a cauldron in its front paws. It first flies up into the sky, then swoops down, flying close to the surface of the spring!
Before the water spies had time to react, Ryan had already passed by and landed in the camp, holding half a pot of spring water in his front paws.
Allen took the responsibility, returned to his tent, and began to study...
