Everyone was talking about the subject, but no real results were coming of the discussions .
Assaulting Saint Fan Shelter pre-emptively would have to be done differently than their attack on Thunder Hell Shelter . Saint Fan Shelter was a mysterious construct, and it was encircled by a moat . The Night Cloak could not be used to breach the place without being seen .
No one knew where the spirit hall was, either, so it'd probably be quite difficult to locate in the midst of an attack .
After fighting Thunder Hell Emperor, Han Sen had learned a thing or two about proper Emperor behavior, though . For one, he now knew they were willing to kill themselves quickly, and they'd respawn at an alarmingly fast rate . Whatever Han Sen and his companions chose to do, trying to conquer a shelter such as that was going to prove tough .
But the talks were interrupted by the sudden sound of an explosion that rattled the entire shelter, causing the ground to cough up plumes of dust . Han Sen's face changed immediately, and so he ran to the source of the sound with the others in tow .
Han Sen came before a well in the garden, which was cascading water . It had flooded the ground of the garden, and it was one foot deep already .
Bao'er was near the well, with Snowball quivering behind her .
"Are you okay?" Han Sen asked the baby, but she seemed to be totally fine .
"I'm good," Bao'er said .
"What happened here?" Han Sen asked, indicating to the water that was flooding the place .
Bao'er pointed at Snowball and said, "I threw him in the well . Big boom . He flies out!"
"Is that true?" Han Sen asked Snowball .
Snowball nodded gently .
Han Sen tried peering into the well, but he could see nothing in its depths . All that seemed to be there was water .
Han Sen picked up Snowball and dropped him in the well again .
Snowball summoned the white ball to protect himself and fell inside .
Pang!
While Snowball was sinking down into the dark depths of the well, there was another sudden explosion . In response, Snowball was fired back out of the well like a cannonball . The garden was flooded even more, following this .
Snowball quickly ran back over to Bao'er and hid behind her . It looked to be absolutely terrified .
"Well, well, well; this sure is one peculiar well . " Han Sen tried looking down into the well again, and he did not see any clues that might explain what had occurred . The well had seemingly spat out Snowball by its own volition .
"Let me take a look," Water Fairy said, as she hovered near the well .
"Okay, but be careful . " Han Sen nodded . She was a water super creature, so if anything else was going to plunge into the aquatic mystery, there was none more suited to do so than her .
"Oh, you care for my wellbeing? Thank you!" Water Fairy smiled at Han Sen and then dove into the well .
The Water Fairy did not create another explosion, and she was able to blend in with the rest of the water that filled the well .
Han Sen watched her go, relieved that what happened to Snowball did not happen to her . Han Sen stood on the well looking down, but eventually, he lost sight of her and could not see what was going on at the bottom .
All of a sudden, the sound of thunder boomed . Han Sen quickly fell back, but he was surprised to see nothing actually happen this time .
Han Sen inched his way back to the well and saw the water begin to bubble, as if it were coming to a boil .
"Where did that thunder noise come from?" Ghost Eye asked, as he too approached the well .
The thunder sounded again, but this time continuously, and slowly, the volume grew and grew . Inside the well, there was no lightning or anything . The water was only moving a little, so where it might have come from was difficult to discern .
"Is there a place below the well, perhaps?" Han Sen frowned as he mulled the curiosity .
Xie Qing King now came near, in his flip-flops . He prepared to dive in after Water Fairy, saying, "Let this seaworthy hombre take a look . "
"No, you don't have to . Let's wait and see if Water Fairy returns . " Han Sen wasn't sure what was down there, and if there was a trap, it'd be silly to send his troops in one after one .
"Nothing in the Third God's Sanctuary can stop a dude like me . Come on, son; you know I'm unstoppable . You're saying a well can get the better of me?" Xie Qing King scoffed at the desire for safety, and he looked ready to jump in .
Splash!
The sudden sound shocked them all, and it was Water Fairy who had come back out .
"Are you okay?" Han Sen swiftly asked her .
Water Fairy, after regaining her balance, said, "I'm fine, but I did stumble across something interesting down there . "
"Well, you had my curiosity . Now, you have my attention," Xie Qing King said, as if speaking to the actual stone of the well .
Water Fairy directed her gaze to Han Sen, saying, "It would be better if you followed me . "
"Okay, then . Let's go take a look," Han Sen said, leaning over the side of the well .
Before going in, Water Fairy said, "This water is Sky Pure Water . If anything dirty or pure goes inside, it'll be rejected like filth . Like that mangy mutt you've adopted . But for yourself, don't worry; I can protect you and let you in . "
Water Fairy then turned her attention to the rest of the crowd and said, "Don't come in after us, okay? If you do, you will hurt master and I . "
After that, Water Fairy became a floating spring of water . It circled around Han Sen and grabbed him tight, then it picked him up and brought him into the well .
Han Sen began to descend through the water of the well, and the further he went down, the wider the structure of the well became . Before long, Han Sen noticed he was at a depth of one thousand meters .
And then, suddenly, Han Sen saw something bright in front of him .
