Chapter 61: The Secrets of the Spirit Spring

Led by the Enchanted Spirit Winged Beast, Kyle, Elsa, Morgan, Cavin, Alicia, and Lynn finally reached the mysterious realm of the "Colorful Spirit Spring" after going through countless difficulties and dangers. The scene before their eyes was like a dream, making everyone hold their breath involuntarily. The valley was extremely secluded, surrounded by tall and lush spirit trees. The branches and leaves of the spirit trees intertwined with each other, as if weaving a natural barrier for this mysterious realm. When the breeze blew, the leaves of the spirit trees rustled, as if whispering ancient stories.

In the center of the valley, a pool of spirit spring emitted multicolored lights, just like a huge gemstone inlaid on the earth. The water of the spirit spring flowed slowly, creating layers of gorgeous ripples. Each ripple exuded a strong spirit tree energy, making the surrounding air come alive. The ground around the spirit spring was covered with spirit tree crystals of various shapes. Under the illumination of the light from the spirit spring, these crystals sparkled with a strange luster, as if guarding this miraculous spirit spring. The spirit tree energy in the air was so thick that it was almost tangible. Everyone felt refreshed, and their fatigue was instantly reduced a lot.

The Enchanted Spirit Winged Beast landed lightly on a huge rock beside the spirit spring. Its transparent wings trembled slightly, and the multicolored light flickered accordingly, as if signaling to everyone. Kyle and the others quickened their steps and walked forward, their eyes full of expectation and curiosity. Lynn spoke first and asked the Enchanted Spirit Winged Beast, "Great Enchanted Spirit Winged Beast, this must be the 'Colorful Spirit Spring'. Could you please tell us how this spirit spring is related to the power of purifying the 'Dark Erosion'?"

When the voice of the Enchanted Spirit Winged Beast sounded directly in everyone's minds, they were first taken aback, and then showed expressions of surprise. "We can actually communicate with it through telepathy!" Morgan widened his eyes, looking completely incredulous. Elsa also frowned slightly, her eyes full of novelty. "This way of communication is so amazing. I've never had such an experience before." The Enchanted Spirit Winged Beast replied, "That's right, this is the 'Colorful Spirit Spring'. The ice crystals formed by the water of the spirit spring possess extremely powerful purifying power, enough to dispel the terrifying 'Dark Erosion'. But it's not easy to obtain these purifying ice crystals." After hearing this, everyone felt both hope and a trace of worry in their hearts. Elsa asked eagerly, "Then how can we obtain the purifying ice crystals?"

The Enchanted Spirit Winged Beast said slowly, "The water of the spirit spring will only condense into ice crystals under specific conditions, and these ice crystals are extremely fragile. They will break with the slightest carelessness. Around this spirit spring, there are some items that resonate with the energy of the spirit spring. Only by finding them can we create the conditions for the water to condense into ice crystals." Everyone nodded, well aware of the arduousness of the task. At this time, Kyle couldn't help asking, "Enchanted Spirit Winged Beast, why did you notice us, and why are you willing to help us?" The voice of the Enchanted Spirit Winged Beast echoed in everyone's minds: "I can sense the abnormality in this star domain. You carry a mission of salvation and pure beliefs, which made me decide to help you." After hearing this, everyone was filled with gratitude and admiration.

In order to obtain the purifying ice crystals, everyone began to explore the environment around the spirit spring. Kyle held his stardust long sword and carefully observed each spirit tree crystal, hoping to find useful clues. He paced around the spirit spring and suddenly noticed that there were some strange patterns engraved on one of the spirit tree crystals. These patterns seemed to be similar to some ancient symbols seen in the canyon before. He immediately called Lynn over. Lynn examined it for a long time and said, "These patterns may be a hint, but their specific meaning requires further study. Maybe the auxiliary items we need to find are related to these symbols."

Elsa cast her ice magic, trying to sense the flow of energy around the spirit spring to see if she could find those hidden items. She closed her eyes and concentrated. The ice-blue light flickered around her. Suddenly, she felt a faint energy fluctuation coming from one side of the spirit spring. She opened her eyes, walked in that direction, and found a cave entangled by spirit tree vines. She carefully pushed aside the vines and walked into the cave. A damp smell filled the cave, and a faint fluorescence flickered on the walls. She searched carefully in the cave and found a bead emitting a soft blue light. It seemed that the bead contained energy similar to that of the spirit spring. She ran out excitedly, holding the bead, and showed it to everyone. "I found this. It seems to be related to the energy of the spirit spring."

Morgan used his illusion ability to quickly shuttle around the spirit spring, trying to find those items hidden in the corners. While searching, he observed the surrounding environment and didn't miss any detail. On the other side of the spirit spring, he found a sunken pit. A faint light flickered at the bottom of the pit. He jumped into the pit and found a stone emitting a golden light. Some mysterious patterns were engraved on the surface of the stone. He brought the stone back and joined the others.

Cavin took out his magical detection tool and conducted a detailed analysis of the energy around the spirit spring. He kept adjusting the parameters of the tool, trying to find the positions of those auxiliary items. During the detection process, he found that the energy distribution around the spirit spring showed a strange pattern, as if forming energy vortices around several specific points. According to these clues, he found an exquisite box in a patch of grass near the spirit spring. The pattern of a spirit tree was engraved on the box. When he opened the box, there was a leaf emitting a faint light inside.

Everyone put the found items together. After carefully observing them, the Enchanted Spirit Winged Beast said, "These items do resonate with the energy of the spirit spring. The last step requires me to use my unique ability to condense the spring water and these auxiliary items into ice crystals. But before that, you must pass my test." When everyone heard this, their expressions became serious, and the hope that had just risen was instantly replaced by tension. Kyle clenched his fists and looked at the Enchanted Spirit Winged Beast with a determined gaze. "No matter what the test is, we are willing to accept it." Elsa nodded slightly, and determination showed in her ice-blue eyes. "For the sake of saving Elder Lingfeng and the Colorful Spirit Tree Star Domain, we will not flinch even in the face of the most difficult test." Morgan clenched his fists, eager to try. "Come on, we will definitely pass the test!" Cavin pushed his glasses, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down. Lynn silently thought about the upcoming test. There was both uneasiness and anticipation of passing the test in his heart.
