Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 959

Darren and Hailey were confused with the Water Spirit's explanation.

The Water Spirit had said that this black sea belonged to the ancient times, which Darren believed. He also knew another ancient sea; that was the Raksa Sea.

However, the Raksa Sea didn't have creatures as strong as the apes outside, but the Water Spirit claimed that the apes were only ordinary creatures! This made Darren very perplexed.

"How can the ancient sea still really exist? Even if this black sea is an ancient relic, the ancient Universe Rule it contained should have dissipated and evolved into the sea areas as per the current Universe Rule. Moreover, since it has existed for hundreds of millions of years, those genuine ancient creatures should have long been turned to dust!" Darren voiced his confusion.

As far as he knew, real ancient creatures could not have survived such a long passage of time. Those that survived could, at best, be regarded as descendants of the original species.

"No, this is the real ancient sea, and those apes are also real ancient creatures. The apes that you saw have survived since ancient times.

Because this sea area, including the several islands, were frozen by time," explained the Water Spirit.

"What? What do you mean when you say 'frozen by time'?" Darren asked with a puzzled expression.

The Water Spirit contemplated for a while before she continued her explanation. "It's very simple. In ancient times, as a powerful warrior from outer space sealed this area with his god's power, this area will not change with time. So, the creatures that reside here from ancient times will never disappear."

"Oh, I see. That skill must have been incredibly powerful!"

Darren and Hailey were shocked. If they hadn't heard the explanation, they would have never believed that a magical method that could freeze time existed in the world!

"It is indeed, very powerful. It is said that the strong warrior is a superior god and a good friend of the Lord Starry Sword," explained the Water Spirit.

"Forget all that now. From what I remember, you need to find the water from the Spring of Forgetfulness," the Water Spirit continued.

Darren and Hailey couldn't help but tremble. When the Water Spirit mentioned the Spring of Forgetfulness, they were reminded of the River of Forgetfulness.

"Why do we need to search for it?" asked Hailey.

"After you drink the water from the Spring of Forgetfulness, you will be merged with the ancient rules of this sea. Afterwards, you will become ancient creatures for the time being and enter the ancient tribes. That will activate the 'Rivals' test," explained the Water Spirit.

Then, she gave Darren and Hailey more instructions, which the two kept in mind.

"Thank you, Water Spirit." Hailey expressed her gratitude.

"Don't be so formal, please. Now, hurry up and find the water from the Spring of Forgetfulness. Remember, if you follow my instructions, you'll find the location of the spring."

"Okay."

Just at that moment, thunder rocked the bottom of the sea.

Boom!

A split second later, a thunderbolt slammed into the Water Spirit.

Darren and Hailey blinked with astonishment as a terrible hole appeared in Water Spirit's abdomen. Soon, her blood stained the water red.

"What?!" Darren's heart skipped a beat. 'What's going on? Why did thunder attack the Water Spirit?'

At that time, Darren was no longer upset with the Water Spirit for her earlier deception. He appreciated her effort to answer many of their questions. Had it not been for her assistance, Darren and Hailey would have futilely explored the area. Besides, without her guidance, it would have been impossible for them to activate the test in ten thousand years, let alone pass the test.

"Don't worry," the Water Spirit said weakly. She looked deathly pale and in tremendous agony. Enduring the pain, she added, "I revealed the secret of the test and was punished according to the rules. But the punishment is not fatal. I will leave now. Remember what I said. Whether you pass or not depends on your talent."

After that, she disappeared as she didn't dare to extend her stay.

"Thank you." Although the Water Spirit had vanished, Darren did not forget to thank her.

Hailey and Darren searched the dark waters for the water from the Spring of Forgetfulness according to the direction given by the Water Spirit.

After three months, they finally arrived at the place described by the Water Spirit.

The entire seabed was covered in many green plants and looked like an underwater prairie.

"This place matches the description given by the Water Spirit. Let's slow down and explore it."

According to what the Water Spirit had said, the water from the Spring of Forgetfulness could be found in a grassland at the bottom of the sea. She had also cautioned them that the mouth of the spring was tiny, and so, they had to search every inch of the land to find it.
