Chapter 1399: Chapter 1399: Obtaining the Water of Life_1 Chapter 1399: Chapter 1399: Obtaining the Water of Life_1 The iron rod split the air with intense force, even causing a crack in space itself!
Clearly unwilling to give up, the Hand of Death didn't hide or dodge, but clenched his fist and faced the attack head-on!
“Clang!”
The power of the iron rod was unimaginable, and Ethan Smith only felt a painful sting in his wrist, almost unable to hold on!
The Hand of Death's situation was naturally even more miserable, with his right fist shattered and green blood oozing out!
Ethan Smith didn't care about the pain in his wrist. He tightened his grip on the iron rod once more and roared in anger, planning to take advantage of his victory and kill the Hand of Death.
But at that moment, the silhouette of the Hand of Death suddenly disappeared, as if he were hiding in the depths of space!
The iron rod smashed solidly into the ground, creating a large pit.
Ethan Smith frowned slightly and immediately activated his desolate divine eye to scan the surroundings.
But to his surprise, even under the desolate divine eye, he still couldn't find any trace of the Hand of Death.
Ethan Smith searched the entire area, looking beyond the dense fog, but where was there any sign?
“Huh? How can this be?” Ethan Smith was stunned, and he checked again, but indeed, he still couldn't find any trace of the Hand of Death.
This made Ethan Smith very uneasy; since the desolate divine eye couldn't see him, it meant that his means of concealment were even more advanced than the desolate divine eye.
“Could he have hidden even deeper in space?” Ethan Smith thought to himself.
He glanced around cautiously, never letting his guard down.
Ethan knew very well that if this beast were to launch a sneak attack, it could very likely kill him in one strike.
Ethan treaded on thin ice, advancing cautiously while carefully scanning his surroundings, but even in such a situation, he never stopped moving forward.
After a full half hour of walking, the Hand of Death still didn't appear.
“Could it be… that he escaped?” Ethan asked with some doubt.
But where could he have gone in the blink of an eye? How could he have run so far away?
“Forget it. Let's not worry about him for now. Let's find the Water of Life first,” Ethan thought to himself.
Just then, Wilbur, who had been waiting outside, finally couldn't help but sneaked in tiptoe.
Seeing Ethan covered in blood, Wilbur hurriedly went forward, frowning, “How are you? What about that thing?”
Ethan chuckled, “I'm fine, I scared that beast away.”
“Scared away?” Wilbur paused for a moment, then waved his hand dismissively, “Don't joke around, I've seen that beast's true capabilities.”
Ethan didn't bother explaining and instead asked with a smile, “That's not important. What's important is, Wilbur, where's the Water of Life? Hurry up and show me.”
Wilbur nodded and led the way, continuing deeper into the cave.
After passing the place where the Hand of Death had been standing, the two continued to move forward.
On the way, Ethan could be described as walking on eggshells, fearing that the Hand of Death would attack again.
Fortunately, the journey was uneventful, and the Hand of Death did not appear again.
Soon, the two arrived at a rock ledge and stopped.
“This is it,” Wilbur pointed at the rock ledge and said.
This was a sloping rock ledge, and on top of the ledge, there were dewdrops clinging to it.
Strangely, these dewdrops adhered to the rock ledge without sliding down.
Wilbur pointed at the dewdrops in front of him and said, “This is the Water of Life.”
Ethan said somewhat disappointingly, “Are you saying that this is the Water of Life? There's so little of it.”
Wilbur glanced at Ethan and said, “It's obvious that you haven't seen anything. Do you know how much Life Aura is needed to form a single drop of Water of Life?”
Ethan thought about it, and that made sense.
Gas turning into liquid requires a large quantity.
“Hurry up and collect it,” Wilbur said, then handed Ethan a jade decontamination bottle.
Ethan took the jade bottle, then climbed onto the rock ledge and carefully collected the Water of Life.
There were a total of four drops of Water of Life here, each emitting the breath of life.
Ethan gathered all four drops into the jade decontamination bottle, then jumped down from the rock ledge.
“Finally got it,” Ethan shook the jade bottle and heaved a long sigh of relief.
Then, Ethan looked at Wilbur and said, “Wilbur, there are four drops of Water of Life in total. How about we each take two drops?”
Wilbur glanced at Ethan and said, “The four drops have already merged together. How do you plan to divide two drops for me?”
Ethan's face changed, and he slapped his head, only then remembering this detail.
“Wil… Wilbur, don't worry, I'll split the Water of Life into two portions as soon as possible!” Ethan hurriedly said.
But this time, Wilbur shook his head and said, “Forget it, I know how important the Water of Life is to you. You take it.”
Ethan was stunned and quickly looked at Wilbur, “Wilbur, are you serious?”
“Do you think I need to lie to you? But you owe me a big favor, and I believe it won't be long before you can repay it,” Wilbur said.
This time Ethan didn't refuse, he accepted the Water of Life and bowed, “Wilbur, I will remember your favor, and since the Water of Life is indeed very important to me, I won't refuse it.”
Wilbur waved his hand and said, “Alright, let's get out of here.”
Ethan nodded and followed Wilbur, quickly leaving the area.
With the Water of Life in hand, Ethan didn't want to waste any time. He followed Wilbur as they dashed out of the waterfall and exited the cave.
“Ethan, I won't be accompanying you anymore,” said Wilbur. “I still have things to do, so let's part ways here.”
“Wilbur, where should I go to find you?” Ethan hurriedly asked.
“Ask Simona, she'll tell you,” Wilbur said.
After throwing down those words, Wilbur turned around and left.
In just a few moments, he disappeared without a trace.
“Phew,” Ethan sighed in relief. “The Water of Life is finally in my hands.”
At this time, Drexel's voice echoed inside Ethan's head, “Don't you find it strange? If Wilbur isn't capable of facing the Hand of Death, how could he know the location of the Water of Life? You have to know that this Water of Life is in the depths of the cave. To find the Water of Life, one must pass through the Hand of Death.”
Ethan frowned slightly; this was a question he hadn't thought of.
“Maybe it was deduced through some method?” Ethan guessed.
Drexel shook his head, “Unlikely. I think there's more to Wilbur's identity than what's on the surface.”
