Chapter 292: The Fountain of Life, Shouyuan Soars! Monthly Pass)
"Save me, save me!"
In the mysterious space, bones are everywhere, the power of death lingers, plundering life, and reincarnating from the dead.
As soon as Fang Xiu's feet landed, he was completely overwhelmed by a force full of death.
The invisible and strange aura wrapped around every inch of his body, greedily absorbing the life essence in Fang Xiu's body.
Every moment and every second, his originally strong vitality was rapidly disappearing.
In the character interface of the system, longevity is also decreasing at a rapid rate.
A withered hand that seemed to be nothing but old skin struggled feebly in mid-air, trying to grab Fang Xiu's ankle.
He looked down and found that Xu Youming and others, who had entered the second portal not long ago, were all crawling not far away.
In less than three hours, their appearance has changed drastically.
They have all grown from young and old to octogenarians, their skin is dry and saggy, their muscles are as loose as cotton wool, and even raising their arms requires exhausting their little energy.
"Save me!"
Xu Youming moaned feebly. He looked up at Fang Xiu, his chapped lips opened and closed, wanting to say something.
But when the last ray of life force was stripped from his body, Xu Youming's head fell to the ground helplessly. When it hit the ground, the loose skull immediately shattered, making an ear-piercing sound.
"Ancient ruins and treasure inheritance are just adventures for the protagonist, but for the supporting actor, they are always just disaster and destruction!"
Fang Xiu shook his head: "In your next life, you should play a supporting role first, and then think about adventures and treasures!"
He looked far away again.
In sight, hundreds of meters ahead, a dozen figures were walking quickly towards the big tree and spring in the center of the space.
It was the reincarnated immortals who entered Portal No. 2 dozens of seconds earlier than Fang Xiu.
Although from the back, they did not appear to be in a scene similar to Xu Yuming's life exhausted, but with every step forward, their backs would become slightly stooped, and their hair would gradually become dry and white.
"The place of ultimate death and reincarnation is interesting!"
Fang Xiu had a clear understanding. Before the spiritual energy dissipated, this place should be a strange place.
All creatures that enter this area will be sucked out of life by the strange power shrouded in this area, and will gather in a spring in the center.
Although the giant tree next to the spring looks like it is blocking the sky and the sun, it is probably just an ordinary tree that happened to fall next to the spring.
Otherwise, it would not have grown huge even after absorbing the spring water. Not only did it not turn into a spiritual plant, it would not even undergo simple alienation.
"This space should be similar to a small world outside the world, but the five elements are cut off and it has not turned into a real paradise!"
Fang Xiu stepped forward, and when he took a step forward, he could clearly feel that the speed of his life force had doubled.
If dozens of minutes of life span passed in one second before, it would now be about an hour.
"The Origin of the Beginningless Path!"
Fang was practicing the Taoist Sutra of Luck, and the spiritual power in his body surged, forming invisible spiritual power ripples all over his body, trying to resist the deathly aura's plundering of his vitality.
But the effect is minimal.
"It seems that we can only rely on god-level life-sustaining pills!"
Fang Xiu exchanged bottles of god-level life-sustaining pills from the system mall and refined them in his body to replenish the consumption of life force. He kept walking and flew towards the center of the space.
Soon he caught up with PY Tianheng and others.
"Are you crazy to run so fast?"
"This kid is the reincarnated immortal of that era. Why doesn't he have any common sense? Do you really think this is a running competition? The faster you run, the more prizes you will win?"
"The breath of death is like water. The greater the force given to it, the stronger the feedback force will be. Only by maintaining a steady and appropriate speed can the flow of life force be the slowest!"
Seeing Fang Xiu quickly catching up, the dozen or so reincarnated immortals not only did not feel any pressure or sense of urgency, but instead secretly sneered.
If they were willing, they could run dozens or hundreds of times faster than Fang Xiu.
But if you do that, your body will be turned into ashes the moment you hit the spring water.
"The power of the deathly silence is so strong, no wonder Lai Bingyi and An Mochou would take the risk to set up a blood demon millstone array to absorb the flesh and blood essence of the entire city's immigrants!"
Fang Xiu surpassed everyone. The faster he ran, the faster the life force in his body drained.
Although he continued to swallow the refining god-level life-sustaining pills, the role of the life-sustaining pills was more to heal injuries and replenish vitality and longevity. The effect was limited, and could only delay the effect by 50% at most.
In just three to five minutes, the life span value in the system character interface was reduced from 1,800 years to 1,300 years.
At this time, he was still one-third of the way from the center.
"No, I can't go any further!",
"My longevity can't last even half of the journey. This time it's too much!"
"Let's retreat. There is a portal diagonally behind that can return to the space under the lake. Let's go there first!"
"PY Immortal Lord, you have the highest attainments in Taoism among us. I hope you can give me a few sips of the spring water after you get the spring water. As long as you can restore our original lifespan, I will be very grateful!"
After Fang Xiu, more than a dozen immortals walked a third of the way and realized that something was wrong. Although they were extremely unwilling, they could only retreat with regret.
The spring water of life is indeed valuable, but life is even more important.
They continued to evacuate towards the rear, looking at Fang Xiu with eyes full of shock and confusion.
Under normal circumstances, even a monk at the peak of foundation building can only live between 800 and 1,000 years.
At Fang Xiu's running speed, I'm afraid his life force would have been exhausted long ago.
But until this moment, Fang Xiu, who was only one-fifth of the way from the spring of life, was still walking as fast as he could, without any signs of life drying up.
Could it be that the deathly silence here has no effect on him?
What a freak is this!
"There's something wrong with this kid!"
PY Tianheng had already walked halfway through the journey. His pace was neither hasty nor slow. Every time he took a step, a three-color lotus flower grew under his feet.
The deathly aura that even Fang Xiu couldn't resist seemed to have little effect on PY Tianheng.
PY Tianheng looked at Fang Xiu who had reached the edge of the spring, and frowned. With his seven thousand years of experience in his previous life, he couldn't figure out how Fang Xiu did it.
"This is the fountain of life!"
Fang Xiu's figure was like electricity. He rushed within three meters of the spring water. When the mist in the air enveloped him, the deathly aura wrapped around his body instantly dissipated.
His lifespan, which had been reduced to six hundred years, not only stopped decreasing, but even increased again at a slow rate.
Fang Xiu walked to the spring, put his hand into the small spring, which was less than half a meter in diameter, took a cup and drank.
The moment the clear and sweet spring water touched his lips, Fang Xiu's longevity increased violently.
