Zongman: A Dimensional Journey Starting from Fulilian

"Neither of them may be true..."

"Damn it! Even if you don't believe me, don't you believe Shichen's words?"

“Well…” Darkness looked at Shichen.

"Believe me, this time it's the officers of the Demon King's Army who are going to do something bad, so you should use your identity to help them."

“A cadre of the Demon King’s army? Really?” Darkness said seriously.

"Well, I don't joke about this kind of thing."

"I understand, I believe you!"

"Well, let's split up first. You go to the Adventurer's Guild to inform them, and I'll go back to Axel to ask something."

"Shichen, what are you doing back in Axel?" Youyou couldn't help but ask.

"Go find a lich and ask about the situation." Shi Chen smiled slightly.

......

When Tokichi came back, he met Aqua and the others on the hill behind the hotel. The source of the hot spring was right here.

Huihui and Fulilian are not here.

Aqua and the others have already informed the guild, and with Darkness's identity as evidence, the Adventurer's Guild dare not disbelieve it.

"Shichen, what on earth did you go back for?" Aqua asked.

"Go find Wiz and ask about that cadre's situation."

"So what did you ask?"

"I've figured out the true identity of that guy. It's quite extraordinary. He's a variant of the deadly toxic slime."

"What? It's actually the deadly poisonous slime!" Youyou was horrified.

Slimes are well known to be weak, but those are small slimes. Slimes that grow to a certain size are very strong. Physical attacks have almost no effect on them, and they are very resistant to magic. They also have a big appetite and eat everything. Once you are entangled by them, there is no hope.

Armor is no protection against slimes, as they will penetrate through the gaps in the armor, stick to the body, dissolve the prey with digestive fluids, or suffocate the prey by blocking its mouth and nose.

"It's actually the deadly poisonous slime? No wonder it can pollute the hot spring!" Aqua was not afraid, but very angry.

"Shichen, I still can't defend against the slime." Darkness said.

"It's okay, I'm here. It's just a slime." Shichen comforted and rubbed Youyou's head.

"let's go."

"Hurry up!" Aqua led the way up the mountain.

This time, Darkness was not stopped by the guarding knight. As soon as she showed the necklace that proved her identity, the knight let her pass.

Aqua didn't feel like showing off to the Care Knight anymore, she would worry about the hot springs and lead the way up the mountain.

I don't know how far we have walked. Normally, Aqua would have been tired a long time ago, but she kept a serious face and didn't say a word.

There is only one road here, so it is impossible to go wrong.

In order to transport the hot springs from the source to the town, they built six huge water pipes on the mountain. To get to the source, all you have to do is follow the pipes.

When they were approaching their destination, the clock did start to tick. When he sucked Altria's blood, he awakened a new familiar, which could have taken them directly to the top of the mountain.

He also gained the abilities of his beast companion and was now able to fly at will.

I'm still not used to the ability to fly at will. Why would I walk when I can fly?

"What is this!?" Aqua stopped at the end of the water pipe, anger evident on her face.

In front of the water pipe, I saw the source of hot springs, but the water in the hot spring was black.

"Is this poisoned?" Youyou couldn't help but speak when she saw the situation in the hot spring.

"Sure enough, he was poisoned! How abominable!"

Aqua said angrily, and thrust her hand directly into the source of darkness.

"Hiss! It's hot! Wow! It's too hot!"

Even so, Aqua did not pull her hand back.

"You idiot, what are you doing?" Shi Chen immediately came to her side and pulled her hand out.

The originally clean and white arms have turned red.

“heal.”

Shichen helped her with treatment with great concern.

"But, but..." Aqua's tone was tearful. She still wanted to reach her hand into the dark and turbid source to purify it.

"Stupid, I'm here too, don't you want me to help you?"

"Time... woo~"

"Don't worry, I'm here." Shi Chen rubbed her head.

"I understand." Aqua nodded aggrievedly.

“Freeze.”

Shi Chen cast elementary freezing magic to cool the source of the spring. His magic power was enormous and the hot spring quickly cooled down a lot.

"Wow~ Thank you, Shichen."

"Idiot, why are you saying thank you to me?"

"Hehe~"

Aqua smiled foolishly, then reached her hand into the dark and turbid hot spring. Visibly, the hot spring gradually became transparent.

"That's fine, but the source of this hot spring may not be usable for the time being."

After completing the purification of the hot spring, Aqua was not happy. Instead, she was a little dejected and looked very sad.

Aqua is responsible and serious, after all, she is truly a goddess.

Aqua then went to the source of other water pipes to purify the hot springs.

With her ability, purification is an easy task, but as she said, these sources must wait for a long time before they can be used again.

Five of the six water pipes were purified quickly, and the last one was at the top of the mountain. When Shichen followed Aqua to the top of the mountain, he noticed a figure.

After taking a closer look, Shi Chen recognized him as the man he saw in the mixed bathing area yesterday.

"Wait a moment." Tokichi called out to Aqua.

"What's wrong?" Aqua asked confusedly.

"Look there."

"what?"

"Huh? There seems to be someone there." Youyou also noticed it.

"I saw it too. What was he doing over there? Isn't that the source of the hot spring?" Darkness asked puzzledly.

"That guy must be poisoning the source of the hot spring! He must be the culprit!" Aqua rushed over angrily without saying a word.

They hurried to catch up.

"Hey! What are you doing?" Aqua came up to the man and asked directly.

"What are you doing? I don't understand." The man had a puzzled expression on his face, but he paid attention to the time.

He also recognized the time.

"Hmph! Stop pretending! You must be the one who poisoned the hot springs here, right?"

"It's inexplicable. How could I poison someone? I'm just here to investigate."

"Investigate?" Aqua looked at Shichen.

Shichen patted her shoulder and took a step forward: "Hans, you don't have to hide. I have recognized you. You are a cadre of the Demon King's Army and a variant of the deadly poisonous slime."

"..."

Chapter 364: Improperness before the Battle

"How do you know me? You heard our conversation yesterday, but why do you know me?"

After his identity was directly exposed by Shi Chen, Hans decided not to pretend anymore.

"To tell you the truth, it was Wobak who told me." Shi Chen replied with a smile.

"Lord Wobak? How is that possible! Stop fooling me." Hans naturally didn't believe it.

"It's true. Wobak was attracted by my good looks. He didn't want to see me get into trouble here, so he told me the situation and even told me your identity so that I could understand how dangerous it was."

"Huh! Do you think I'm so stupid as to be fooled by you?" Hans still didn't believe it.

"Why don't you believe me? Who else but Wobak can tell me who you are?"

"......" Hans frowned silently after hearing this.

Few people know his identity, and if no insider revealed it, no one would know him.

But he still didn't believe that Wobak would give him away just like that.

It's not like Wobak is in love.

"Stop stirring up trouble here, but Lord Wobak might really be attracted to you... Never mind, just go away. I'll let you go."

Hans had no intention of attacking Shichen and the others, so he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Where do you want to go, Hans?"

"You can't get away, Hans!"

"Humph! Are you afraid of us, Hans?"

Aqua, Yunyun, Darkness and the others immediately called out to him.

"..."

Hans, who had just taken two steps, stopped, turned his back to Shichen and the others, and trembled all over.
