Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 851

The cowardly ghost pondered and said, "Since it's called the Spiritual Spring, there should be springs nearby."

The harem spirit chimed in, poking her head out and adding, "That's right! Where there's a spring, there's always a puddle nearby... I guess the spring water overflows because the puddle is full."

Lilly felt a pang of sadness, thinking about how the overflowing water had gone to waste, falling into the bottomless abyss. It seemed like such a shame.

I'm taking it away!

I can't be a wasteful kid!

Thrifting is a virtue!

Lilly enlarged the jar of souls, but she had to be careful not to make it too large. If it exceeded the crack in the cliff, it would be torn apart by the strange forces of the abyss outside.

So she enlarged it to the size of a small bucket, rapidly filling it with the immeasurable spiritual spring water. Even though it was a swift process, Lilly could not help but feel anxious.

"Michael, do you think Ivan could be here?" Lilly asked, her gaze fixed on the depths of the gap as the jar of souls absorbed the boundless spiritual spring.

The cowardly ghost, sipping water from the spiritual spring, replied, "It's hard to say. The spring water rushes out and forms a waterfall. Normally, it would be impossible for a regular child to enter such a rapid current..."

Lilly nodded and said, "But Ivan is not a regular kid."

The cowardly ghost sighed, feeling a bit unsettled once again. He turned around and punched the rebel ghost, which seemed to alleviate his frustration.

The rebel ghost was dumbfounded.

Meanwhile, the jar of souls had completely absorbed the spiritual spring, leaving the stone cliffs bare. The water that had once flowed up to Lilly's waist now only remained as a thin layer on the rocks.

As they ventured further into the darkness, the tearing force from the abyss outside weakened, allowing the cowardly ghost to move more freely. He urged them to follow the current and search for the source of the spring.

"If Ivan has been here before, he would have found a way to trace the current back to its origin," the cowardly ghost suggested.

Lilly and the others continued walking, but as they went deeper, the stone walls rose higher and the darkness became oppressive. It was so pitch-black that they could not see their own fingers, making it difficult to breathe.

Lilly's unique vision allowed her to see in the dark, but even she could not make out anything in this place.

"Let's light a fire!" the cowardly ghost suggested, pulling Lilly to a stop. It was too dangerous to continue without any visibility.

The harem spirit held up a torch, but to their disappointment, it refused to ignite. "It's no use," he sighed. "I tried, but even the fire of a will-o-wisp won't light up here."

The unlucky ghost chimed in, saying, "Maybe Lilly's Spiritual Fire can..."

But before he could finish his sentence, the rebellious ghost interjected angrily, "Oh, come on! So how could Spiritual Fire be considered a will-o-wisp? If we can't light a will-o-wisp, then how can hers be lit?"

Lilly was about to offer her Spiritual Fire when she realized that it would not ignite either. She let out a sigh, disappointed.

The cowardly ghost tried to comfort her, saying, "Lilly, it's okay, we..."

Suddenly, Lilly pulled out a powerful flashlight and switched it on, instantly illuminating the entire cave.

The ghosts were momentarily stunned by the sudden burst of light.

"Michael, what were you saying?" Lilly asked. "I wasn't paying attention earlier."

The cowardly ghost replied quietly, "It's nothing..."

The unlucky ghost could not help but exclaim, "That's brilliant! Why didn't we think of bringing a flashlight?"
