Absolute Gate

Chapter 117 The Netherstone Wine Jar
Michelle's eyes lit up when she saw Abba stand up.

He noticed that the poison controlled by the viper in Aba's body had been completely neutralized, leaving only red hair.

"So the venom of vipers can be cured with the water of the Fountain of Youth."

“Great, even God is on my side.”

Michelle was overjoyed. He had the Fountain of Youth! That meant he didn't have to worry about the viper's venom and could just retreat.

The Fountain of Youth can indeed cure poisons, but it can't cure many others. Michelle isn't a professional poison expert, so she doesn't know what can and cannot cure poisons.

For him, the only way to know is to try it.

Now Wu Zhong directly helped him test it, and both poisons could be cured with the Fountain of Immortality. The remaining red hair was his own, so there were no more obstacles.

"It's solved."

On the other side, Wu Zhong was also somewhat surprised. He had only found out after trying it himself; he had solved it unintentionally.

I even bought a lot of antidotes for Aba, but none of them were used.

It's a wonder he was so wary of the viper, using such deadly poison before coming, only to find out that the red-haired voodoo that Michel bought at great expense was the most potent.

“But that’s not good, Michelle will run away.”

Wu Zhong quickly looked at Michelle, and sure enough, the guy grabbed Paula and turned to jump into the sea.

"call out!"

Wu Zhong was not about to let him go so easily. With a leap, his spear pierced straight into Wu Zhong's back.

Clouds and mist swirl, their energy stirring mountains and rivers.

Michelle got goosebumps; this shot was not to be underestimated.

"boom!"

He turned around to meet the attack, and the red hair's energy collided with the true energy of the Longevity Technique.

Wu Zhong felt a sharp pain as the recoil from the spear cracked his palm, almost causing him to drop it.

"This thing is real gold." Wu Zhong didn't expect to get injured instead, but fortunately he recovered in an instant.

Michelle's power surged, becoming comparable to his own after using the Longevity Technique, thanks to the red-haired man's support. In addition, he had the purple lightning protecting him, which dispersed his true energy.

The armor this guy bought at great expense is indeed powerful; no wonder even Long Qi couldn't do anything about him.

"Hmph!" Wu Zhong's eyes flashed with sternness, and he fired a series of shots. This time, the power was different; he directly used eighty years of internal energy.

Unless it's an absolute characteristic, then we still have to look at the size and strength. As the saying goes, great power can produce miracles!

"Clang clang clang!" He clashed head-on with the purple lightning and thunder, firing three shots in succession, finally breaking through Michelle's defense.

Eighty years of internal energy is truly remarkable, and it's the true energy of longevity, not just ordinary internal force.

Although the purple lightning was powerful, it was ultimately just the power of an automatic defensive talisman. At this moment, most of the true energy's effect was weakened, but the remaining true energy could still fight against the red-haired man's energy.

"Bang!"

Wu Zhong's spear, flashing red light, finally collided with Michelle's fist.

"Whoa!" The red crystal wrapped around Michelle's arm shattered on the spot, and she was forced to kneel down by the spear.

Even after all the energies clashed and canceled each other out, Wu Zhong's basic physique remained strong. In contrast, although Michelle was also extraordinary, she was clearly not as strong as Wu Zhong.

"You're not Aba's underling, who are you?!" Michelle's arm was fractured and broken; he was stunned, shocked by Wu Zhong's strength.

Despite numerous weakening and offsetting measures, he could still be brought to his knees with a single shot.

The main problem is the stark contrast. He was so timid before, and I thought he was just an ordinary silver-level player. But now he's unleashing a powerful attack that even a gold-level player can't withstand.

This could never be Aba's underling; the difference in strength is too great.

"They're from another mercenary group!" Paula reacted quickly, realizing this, and simultaneously unleashed a barrage of words at Wu Zhong.

"Beep beep beep beep beep!" Each pearl powerfully pierced the air, its power enough to shatter gold and stone.

Wu Zhong suppressed Michelle with one hand, and could only use the hand holding the ice cube to shield his head and vital organs.

"Pfft!"

He was pierced by eight pearls, which were deeply embedded in his flesh and blood, and his arm was also broken and mangled.

However, this was Wu Zhong's deliberate act.

Paula's strength is at the Silver level. Wu Zhong had many ways to counter her, but he deliberately endured the injury.

"Sa!"

As expected, Long Qi seized the opportunity.

His figure appeared instantly beside Wu Zhongsheng, and he snatched the ice block with lightning speed.

At the same time, a sword light slashed towards Wu Zhong.

Wu Zhong dared not take the sword light head-on, and while dodging, he quickly pulled back his spear and smashed it horizontally.

The wood was indestructible, and even when it clashed with the sword light, it left no mark. Instead, Wu Zhong used this force to retreat violently.

The hand holding the ice block was struck by Long Qi's palm, and the ice block slipped from his grasp.

However, Wu didn't care. He pretended to grab the ice cube back, but instead just flicked it with his fingertips.

The ice cube was launched into the air and landed right in Michelle's arms.

"what?"

Michelle was secretly pleased, thinking that Wu was guilty of possessing a treasure, and Long Qi's intervention actually helped him escape.

But just as he broke free from Wu Zhong's spear, he inexplicably received a block of ice.

"You can't take this!" Michelle exclaimed anxiously.

As expected, seeing Wu Zhong retreat violently and the ice block fall into his hand, Long Qi's eyes were fixed on Michelle with lightning speed.

"Shhhhhh!"

Long Qi already hated Michelle, and with the antidote for the red-haired voodoo and the fountain of youth in his possession, he didn't hesitate and unleashed all his sword light to kill her.

"Die!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" Seven sword energies, radiating a clear light, fiercely clashed with the purple lightning. One sword remained, aiming straight for Michelle's dog head.

"Bones!"

Michelle's eyes widened in horror. At the critical moment, layers of white bone covered her body, forming a shield. Combined with the red hair's energy, she withstood the sword strike.

Fortunately, he had a lot of protective gear, and the combination of the White Bone Chain and the Purple Lightning Amulet helped him deflect the Seven Swords' fatal attack.

The sword light left a deep wound on his chest, but Paula healed it with a beam of white light.

"Tch!" Seeing that this had been neutralized, Long Qi ignored the rampant red-haired witch poison within his body and once again condensed the clear light.

At this moment, the viper would no longer hold him back. It deliberately suppressed the poison in Long Qi's body and instead activated the poison within Michelle's body.

After all, the blame is now on Michelle. If he runs away, everyone will be doomed.

"Fuck, you can have it, I don't want it!"

Michelle painfully threw the ice cube away without hesitation, not even glancing at it, and grabbed Paula as they turned and ran.

He didn't want this stuff. Others thought it was a priceless treasure, but he knew it was just a little bit of the Fountain of Youth diluted with water.

He could throw this item out for others to fight over, giving him a chance to escape. But just as he was about to jump over the railing, his vision blurred, and Long Qi was instantly standing on the railing.

"Slay the evil!" Dragon Qilin Vajra roared, and the pure white sword light roared out.

"What?" Michelle was shocked. Why was he still chasing after him?
Shouldn't Long Qi hurry up and catch the ice?

Michelle roared and fought back with all her might, finally managing to block the sword again.

But he was also thrown out and crashed into the middle of the ship, denting the deck.

He vomited a mouthful of blood, and ignoring his injuries, he rushed toward the edge of the other side of the ship.

But in an instant, Long Qi teleported and intercepted them in that direction again.

At the same time, Michelle finally understood why Long Qi was so persistent in pursuing him.

He caught a glimpse of Paula holding the ice cube he had thrown away.

It turns out that when he dropped the ice and turned to run away, Paula was quick-witted and intercepted it mid-air, grabbing the ice back into her hand.

"Ugh! You woman!" Michelle exclaimed, annoyed.

He said anxiously, "What are you doing with this damn thing! Throw it away!"

"No, this is what your father left you, you can't lose it!" Paula clutched the ice tightly, refusing to let go.

Michelle was both touched and upset. Paula didn't know it was counterfeit, and he couldn't tell her that the items were all with him.

If he were to reveal this in public, it would be no different than holding a block of ice.

"Life is more important, let go!" Michelle cried anxiously, but the woman held on tightly and wouldn't let go.

As the two struggled, Long Qi's sword light arrived, forcing Michelle to engage in another fierce battle with Long Qi.

"Fine, Paula, just give me a bite!"

While anxiously dealing with Long Qi, Michelle knew that Paula wouldn't throw this away, so she decided to just take a bite.

He believed that the ice block Wu Zhong took out must be the fifty grams of the Fountain of Immortality from Aba, which could also be used to heal injuries.

Paula hummed in agreement, broke off a piece, and put it into Michelle's mouth.

"Ok?"

However, Michelle ate it, and it had no effect whatsoever.

Michel was annoyed; he knew the water had been mixed with the Fountain of Youth, and he had just been drinking it.

"Give me another bite! I'm eating watered-down food!" he yelled.

Paula was taken aback, then broke off another pill for him.

Michelle tried it, but it didn't work!

"Damn it, it's watered down again?" Michelle exclaimed angrily.

Paula exclaimed, "Is this a fake?"

"No, it's true, it's watered down! Don't break it apart piece by piece, just slurp it all up!" Michelle yelled.

Wu Zhong laughed from the side, "Watered down?"

This isn't water mixed with the Fountain of Youth, nor is it water mixed with the Fountain of Youth; it's just a lump of mineral water!

He only had six grams in total, and four of them were on his body, with one gram of the Fountain of Youth stuck to each of the two pointed ends of the ice crystals made by Aba.

They've already been consumed separately; what's left are just pure ice crystals.

Paula hesitated for a moment, then put the whole ice crystal into Michelle's mouth and sucked on it.

Michelle ate an ice pop while hugging Paula as she battled the dragon!
He planned to keep eating until his injuries healed, then he would stop.

No matter how much water is added, you can always drink from the Fountain of Youth.

The water of the Fountain of Youth is not diluted; its properties determine that it must be the Fountain of Youth. Although it can evaporate and freeze, its composition will not be changed or diluted. The proportion of minerals and the total number of water molecules in it remain constant.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Puff puff!"

Michelle, sucking on an ice pop, embraced the woman as they fought fiercely!

But as they ate, they had almost finished half of the popsicle, and still hadn't tasted the fountain of youth.

Other injuries were manageable, as Paula was treating him, but the viper's venom caused him excruciating pain, as if a thousand insects were gnawing at his body.

"Ugh! I can't get any! I can't get any!" Michelle exclaimed in frustration.

This time, everyone could see that the ice crystals Wu Zhong brought were not all from the Fountain of Youth, but mostly water.

The rest should still be with Wu Zhongshun.

However, Long Qi did not slow down his offensive to cause trouble for Wu Zhong, but continued to launch a strong attack on Michelle.

He hated Michelle so much; he still needed to seize the red crystal.

"die!"

Now that Long Qi is no longer hampered by the viper's poison, and with Beidou Zhuxie suppressing Hong Mao, he can at least unleash 70-80% of his combat power.

"Boo! Hah! Hah!"

It was too fast. Long Qi teleported constantly on the deck. With a hand gesture, he would instantly appear on the other side of the deck.

He darted back and forth, his figure elusive, his sword flashing, seemingly omnipresent.

No matter where Michelle flees, she will face Long Qi's onslaught.

This "Instantaneous Sword Flash" technique is terrifying; it's clearly Long Qi's trump card.

Michelle was seriously injured and could hardly hold on.

He finally couldn't hold on any longer and suddenly shouted, "Bring the pot!"

An ancient-looking wine pot, made of stone and inscribed with strange characters, flew out from his sleeve.

"what!"

The moment this item appeared, the entire audience erupted in uproar, and countless eyes turned to it, recognizing it as such.

Aba assumed Wu wouldn't recognize it and said, "This is the chief's wine jug."

Wu Zhong genuinely didn't know it was the rebel leader's wine jug, but he recognized the writing on it...

"Huh? A Netherworld Stone?"

Wu finally recognized the material of the wine pot. It was a stone pot, carved from some kind of quartz. The material and the words on it were exactly the same as his Netherworld Stone.

This is a creation of the ancient Egyptian Ammon!

No wonder Michelle always carried it with her and Long Qi didn't notice it; this thing can be perfectly hidden under mental power.

There were indeed no calamities among the rebels, but there were derivatives. The products of the ancient gods were certainly not limited to the one from Ark that has survived to this day. There were also many other Netherworld Stones scattered in various places, which were processed and utilized by modern people.

"They've finally shown themselves. My target... they even brought along a wine jug made of Netherworld Stone." Wu Zhong's eyes gleamed.
