After all the mermaids saw the two cups in Xu Jing's hand, they all became speechless in surprise.

"What do you say now?"

Xu Jing flipped the cup and threw it over with a smile.

The mermaid queen hurriedly reached out to catch it, and then glanced at Fiona, her expression couldn't hide her shock.

Then they finally made up their minds, nodded to each other, and their whole bodies lay on the surface of the lake, and the other mermaids reacted and made the same movements.

"My lord!"

All the mermaids chanted in unison.

At this moment, a trace of more or less faith power emanated from them, and then it was like a hundred rivers entering the sea, gathered together, and then disappeared.

Sensing that these powers of faith had been collected by the system, Xu Jing relieved his heart, and he waved his hand and said, "Get up, my name is Klegan, take me to the Fountain of Youth." ”

The mermaids got up one after another, and the mermaid queen and Fiona came to Xu Jing's side and led him to the location of the temple.

Along the way, Xu Jing asked about some things, and he finally knew the name of the mermaid queen, the other party's name was Anthea, and she was actually a mermaid who had lived for nearly a thousand years.

According to Anthea herself, he had been specially baptized by the Fountain of Youth, arranged by the gods, and therefore lived a long life.

And Xu Jing also asked the mermaid about the root of her hatred for humans, after all, in the process of his contact, he found that the nature of this race was not as terrifying as the sailors said, and the nature was actually kind.

Speaking of human beings, Anthea looked at it with a look of memory and talked about the reason.

With the exploration of the sea, when the first British warship sailed through White Hat Harbor, the mermaids treated each other with courtesy and kindness to humans.

And the British are also fascinated by the mystery and beauty of mermaids, and there are even mermaids and handsome sailors who fall in love with each other and love each other.

However, everything changes when a mermaid caught in love inadvertently reveals the secret of the Fountain of Youth.

When the British learned that there was such a magical thing as the Fountain of Youth, the greedy nature of human beings was immediately revealed, and they used the trust of the mermaids to constantly get clues and research an alternative ritual to activate the Fountain of Youth's plundering of the lives of others.

So the tragedy began, in order to live forever, the British began to hunt mermaids on a large scale, using various means to deceive the mermaids to get tears, leaving a painful lesson for the mermaid family.

Since then, the mermaid clan's hatred for humans has become irresolvable.

"Although we wiped out the main fleet of the British, there are still a few sailors who escaped, so the news about our family's survival in this sea area has also been spread, and there have been troubles over the years, some of which are specially for the Fountain of Youth, and we have no choice but to hunt humans in order to survive."

Anthea's expression was complicated and helpless, and so was Fiona next to her.

Xu Jing didn't express his opinion for the time being, he actually wanted the mermaid clan to move away from this island, but he also had to look at the layout of the temple, the most important thing was the Fountain of Youth, if he could figure out how this spring water was produced, it would be convenient.

Soon, they entered a long passage under the water, and continued upwards along the passage.

Not knowing how far she had traveled, Anthea stopped, raised the two chalices in her hand, and whispered, "Water of Life." ”

Rushing~!

Xu Jing felt the water flow in the passage flow abnormally, and then his body suddenly came into contact with an invisible diaphragm, and a devouring force enveloped him.

He didn't resist, and let this force work on him.

Kiss~~!

In the next moment, he entered another space, and the whole person was soaked in a small pool more than one meter deep that was crystal clear.

Immediately afterwards, Anthea and Fiona also squeezed out of the bottom of the pool and appeared beside him.

Surrounded by ancient trees, vines and vines, streams wading across the earth, and white mist scattered all around, in the middle of which was a platform covered with green grass, and the soft sunlight over the platform stained the fog in a fog.

Xu Jing walked out of the pool and looked around, it was like a fairyland, giving people a sense of vitality, the only discord was that on the ground under the platform, there were several white bones.

The bones were intact, not misplaced or broken, not even the smell of decay or fragments of clothing, they were of all shapes, but without exception, they all looked like they were struggling.

"These are the sins of mankind who have started their evil rituals, and they have drunk the water of a fountain without tears."

Anthea noticed Xu Jing's gaze and explained.

Xu Jing nodded, even if Anthea didn't explain, he could see it, and then he turned around and looked at a round arched rock in the center of the platform.

The lower part of the rock is in the shape of a cistern, and the clear water that flows from the top into the pool seems to be more than half high.

"Fountain of Youth!"

Xu Jing approached in a few steps, stretched out his hand into the pool, and at the same time released his divine soul and sensed it carefully.

Anthea and Fiona looked at each other, but they didn't leave the place, and waited quietly.

After about ten minutes, Xu Jing sighed dejectedly and gave up his original idea.

He could sense that the Fountain of Youthfulness contained a strange magical power, but the magic of this spring water was not caused by the current temple, on the contrary, it was the Fountain of Youth, which created this temple and provided a steady stream of energy for the temple to continue to operate.

Even if the gods fell, it would not affect the continued existence of this temple.

The Fountain of Youth, however, comes from the current island itself, and is drawn from the unknown depths of the earth through the arrangement of the temple, and if the temple is destroyed, the Fountain of Youth, will no longer be pumped out, but it does not mean that it will disappear.

As for the function of plundering lifespan and giving birth to mermaids, it is indeed influenced by the current layout of the temple, combined with the magic of the Fountain of Youth.

In other words, the Fountain of Immortality has left this temple, and although it still contains magical power, it may not still be able to play its due role if it is not arranged.

Xu Jing wandered around the temple, his spirit swept every inch of land, although he didn't understand some of the arrangements, but it didn't prevent him from memorizing them and studying them slowly, and this also helped him understand the abilities of the gods.

When he had finished, he took some more fountains of immortality, sealed them away, and then returned to the edge of the pool, and said to Anthea's mother and daughter, who were waiting in the pool, "Give me a cry, I want a few of your tears." ”
