Douluo: Rainbow Cat, Blue Cat, Seven Swords and Dragon Rider

Chapter 1079 Tree Spirit Maokai
He Xi felt a pang of regret, as she had thought she had come up with a good idea.

Yorick seemed to have opened up this time, saying a lot of things.

After all, he was really too lonely on the Shadow Isles. Apart from Gwen occasionally talking to him, he could only confide in the dead.

His words also made Lan Hong and the others understand more clearly this person who was struggling on the brink of life and death.

He once tried to rescue a captain who had strayed into the Shadow Isles. Although he tried his best and even used the precious, uncontaminated water of life, he still failed.

But he did not give up, and he would make the same choice if given the chance again.

"Mr. Yorick, please rest assured, we will ensure that the black fog over the Shadow Isles is completely dispelled."

Keisha made a promise to Yorick, and although Yorick didn't know if Keisha and her team could keep it up, he still expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you so much for your help, but unfortunately I have nothing to offer in return."

"We don't need any compensation; this was our original plan."

Lan Hong then stood up and said, "Let's go find Maokai. Yorick, you come along too."

Yorick thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Led by Gwen, the group found Maokai in a twisted forest, but Maokai's current appearance was truly terrifying.

Withered tree trunks, distorted human faces, and the tree trunks covered with knots and nodules.

An ordinary person would probably be terrified if they suddenly saw such an image.

However, its current state is also due to the curse of ruin.

Maokai was originally one of the oldest nature spirits in Runeterra, born in the ancient times when the Blessed Isles rose from the sea.

The archipelago was barren and desolate at the time, and Maokai transformed into a tree spirit, searching for signs of life in solitude.

Until he discovered a sacred spring, the Water of Life, deep beneath the mountains of an island, containing endless life energy.

After drinking deeply of the spring water, he planted hundreds of saplings, instantly transforming the archipelago into a lush forest that attracted countless spirits of nature and animals to inhabit, making Fuguang Island a paradise for life.

Maokai himself was also asleep in the forest, guarding this blessed island.

However, that guy Foygo came to Blessed Isle, triggering a disaster on the island and also awakening Mokai.

Maokai draws upon the power of the Water of Life to combat the black mist generated by the Curse of Ruin.

But he discovered that the Water of Life had also been corrupted by the Curse of Ruin, and he had no choice but to sever his connection with it.

Unable to resist the spread of the black mist, they could only watch helplessly as the blessed land they had created turned into a hell.

The forest he created was also transformed into a monster by the distortion of the black mist.

Maokai himself was not spared either, but the life-giving water within him prevented him from completely losing his mind.

But he was plunged into eternal rage, taking it upon himself to destroy the black mist and evil spirits.

The fallen trees in this twisted forest were all created by Mokai.

These trees could be considered Maokai's brethren, and he couldn't bear to watch them completely transform into monsters controlled by the black mist, so he had no choice but to kill them.

"Maokai, we've come to see you."

"I sensed it. The source of the Curse of Ruin has vanished. Did you do it, Gwen?"

“I don’t have that kind of ability; they did it for me. They are new friends I’ve made.” “Thank you. I am Mokai! You have brought hope to this island.”

"Mokai, do you have a way to completely dispel the black fog on the island?"

"This is something I've always wanted to do, but unfortunately I can't. I've also been corrupted by the black mist, and my power is no longer pure."

Upon hearing Maokai's words, Gwen looked disappointed.

"Is there really no way at all? I promised my master that I would completely dispel the black mist."

"Don't worry, you can definitely do it."

He Xi hugged Gwen to comfort her. In fact, if Keisha and He Xi were to unleash their full power, they would have a chance to completely dispel the black mist on Shadow Isle.

However, that would mean they would lose a lot of power and might not be able to deal with Mordekaiser and Karthus, those lurking enemies in the shadows.

That's why they wanted to find a simpler way to dispel the black fog.

Lan Hong then looked at Mao Kai and said, "Your tree trunk should contain uncontaminated life water, which may be the key to dispelling the black mist."

"Do you have a way? If you do, I can bring out the Water of Life."

“Yes, we should now go to the source of the curse, the Wanzai Well.”

"I know where it is, follow me!"

Yorick led everyone to the original location of the Well of Ten Thousand Years, but the place had completely changed from what it used to be.

This place is completely a ruin, but in the center of this ruin, there is indeed a body of water.

However, this body of water had turned completely black, and black mist was rising from it. The mist was becoming less and less, but also growing larger, because the source of the curse of ruin had been destroyed.

"Is this really the Eternal Well that produces the water of life? Now, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call this water cursed water!"

Even Ge Xiaolun couldn't help but complain at this point. He felt that if someone drank a sip of the water here, they would probably immediately turn back into an undead.

"This is the source of the catastrophe, and naturally, it's also the place most severely affected. Does our god really have a solution?"

Keisha felt the immense power of the curse and was still somewhat worried.

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems. It's just that this level of curse is completely useless against me. Maokai, give me the life water you've stored."

Maokai remained silent for a while, but ultimately chose to believe that Lan Hong had taken the Water of Life from the tree trunk and handed it to her.

The water of life truly lives up to its name; everyone could clearly feel the abundant life force within it.

No wonder Folgo believed that the Water of Life could revive Isuld; such a rich life force makes it hard not to have the illusion that it can bring people back from the dead.

In fact, the Water of Life can indeed revive corpses, but the revived corpses are merely mindless shells.

At this moment, Lan Hong used her power to envelop the Water of Life, allowing it to slowly fall into the ruins of the Wanzai Well.

Whether the cursed water in the Wanzai Well was purified, or the last drop of life-giving water was polluted, everyone stared at this scene, and the atmosphere became extremely oppressive.

In fact, there's no need for that at all. I, Lan Hong, will not do anything I'm not sure about.

As Lan Hong activated his power, the life-giving water he controlled also emitted a dazzling light, and the entire ruins of the Wanzai Well were then enveloped in the light.
