Rats are one of the most primitive mammals in existence, they are vigorous, abundant, and extremely fast to reproduce, and they are very adaptable, eating almost anything and living anywhere.

It is said that this animal can be found everywhere in the world except Antarctica, so it is natural that there are many rats in the dirty and chaotic city of New Orleans.

Li Nan took a piece of cheese and went to the stinky livestock pen, not to pick cattle and horses, of course, because this kind of place is where rats like to burrow and build nests.

The sweet smell of the cheese quickly attracted the attention of many mice, and seeing that the heat was almost over, Li Nan smiled with satisfaction and began to communicate with the rats hiding in the shadows in beast language.

The rats have a high IQ, so soon, Li Nan made a deal with the rats.

In this way, a large group of rats flocked to the dockyard, which was heavily guarded by the Spaniards, and they would keep an eye on Count Fernando and his men twenty-four hours a day, and all Li Nan had to pay was some cheese.

Things went well, although Count Fernando and the other Spaniards could defend themselves against the invasion of living and dark creatures, but no one would guard against the seemingly insignificant rats that could be seen everywhere, but after a few days of surveillance, Li Nan did not get the information he wanted.

These days, the rats have told him a lot about Count Fernando's words and deeds, and from this information, Li Nan can be sure that the Spanish nobleman is a cautious, suspicious, and tough fellow, who does things arbitrarily and does not need to consult any of his subordinates at all.

Without talking, it was impossible to get information about the Fountain of Youth, from Fernando's conversations with others, so Li Nan had to change the way, and he asked the rats to search for the belongings that Count Fernando was carrying.

However, as Li Nan judged, although the rats found the Ponce's nautical notebook that Fernando had with him, they were unable to access it due to his excessive caution.

Just as Li Nan was considering whether to carry out a tough raid to seize the notebook, Lady Qing came to the city with good news.

Karina, a math genius, has finally solved the puzzle about the location of the Fountain of Youth!

Everyone knows how difficult the puzzles of "Across the Stars" are, so everyone has a new understanding of the intelligence of Karina, a girl.

Li Nan followed Mrs. Qing back to the 'Sea King', and on the table in the captain's room, he saw the new "Crossing the Ocean and Pulling the Stars".

Correctly arranged, this golden bamboo chart shows a completely different route than before, and the most striking thing is that the two locations of 'Fountain of Youth' and 'Bailang Bay' are marked in red Chinese characters.

Seeing this correct chart, Li Nan understood why he and Blackbeard had searched for so long and why they had not found the location of the Fountain of Youth.

The true location of the Fountain of Agelessness is on the southwest coast of Florida, the southernmost point of North America, and to get there, you have to enter White Wave Bay, which is painted with skull-like warning signs, then sail north to a shallow bay called Charlotte, and then walk north for about two days after landing to reach that mysterious place.

Now that he had the chart, Li Nan also took out the sailing days written by Zheng He again to check the information about the Fountain of Immortal and Bailang Bay.

After spending several months in the New World, Zheng He not only saw the Fountain of Youth, but he and the strange people in the fleet successfully studied the many restrictions and uses of this spring.

The Fountain of Immortality does not allow people to live longer and thus reach the state of immortality, in fact, it plays a role in the transformation of life, which can transfer the remaining life of one person to another.

Who created life? The answer to this question is bizarre.

According to the scientific community, after the formation of the earth in the universe, it began to be lifeless, and about 3.6 billion years ago, a long period of chemical evolution began.

The organic elements in the atmosphere, such as hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, phosphorus, etc., are synthesized into organic molecules under the action of various energy sources in nature.

Later, these organic molecules are further synthesized into biomonomers, and these biomonomers are further polymerized into biopolymers, a process called chemical evolution.

When protein appeared, the simplest life was born, and life began to exist on Earth.

Of course, this is to explain the origin of life in terms of science, and it is much simpler to explain it in terms of religion.

In the myths and stories of the East, the creator of life should be considered to be Nuwa; Taoism believes that life originates from nothing; Buddhism believes that life begins with nothing; Whereas Western Christianity mostly believes that God created life.

No matter how much the world says, it is certain that the power that can create life is absolutely powerful and cannot be desecrated.

After going through so much, Li Nan now doesn't know where life comes from, but from this diary, it can be seen that Zheng He and the local indigenous Indians all believe that life is a forbidden area belonging to the gods.

They believe that in order to smoothly transfer life, it has violated the dignity of the gods, so a blasphemous ritual is needed that makes them temporarily undetectable.

This ritual requires two important things, one is a special container made of sterling silver, and the other is the mermaid's tears.

When everything is ready, just fill a printed cup with the spring water, put one cup into the spring, and then add a mermaid's tear, so that the person who drinks the cup with the tears will take the entire life of the person who drinks the other cup of water.

In Zheng He's diary, there are many introductions to the ritual of blasphemy, not only giving a detailed method of refining the silver cup, but also the gathering place where mermaids often appear.

Li Nan checked the chart and found that Bailang Bay, which had a blood-red skull symbol, was where the mermaids lived.

All the places with skull symbols on the map, regardless of country and region, basically represent the same meaning, that is, danger!

With a powerful first-class style battleship 'Aquaman', his combat skills are also invincible, and he has the help of women and undead zombies around him, so Li Nan doesn't care too much about the creature of mermaids.

Now Li Nan thinks that the biggest trouble is his cheap father-in-law Blackbeard, although the other party keeps saying that he will hand over those two treasures to himself, but Li Nan faintly feels that this old guy has bad intentions towards him.

Angelica was beside her, and when she saw that Karina had unlocked the chart of the Fountain of Youth, she immediately pleaded with Li Nan in a soft voice.

After all, it was a woman who had been with her for so long, and she had also negotiated the conditions with Blackbeard in advance, and Li Nan had no reason to delay, so while the Spaniards had not finished repairing the ship, the 'Sea King' quietly set sail that night.
