"We've left the Caribbean."

Although no one on the ship knew the location of the Fountain of Youth, with Jack's magical compass, finding the Fountain of Youth was not a problem at all.

Originally, Ivan thought that it would not take long to find the Fountain of Youth, but he did not expect that the location of the Fountain of Youth was much further than what he had guessed. After sailing on the sea for almost a month, and after changing supplies in the middle, he finally arrived. The compass needle points to the island.

When they landed on the island, most people on the ship didn't know what the specific goal of the journey was. After all, few people could care less about something like the Fountain of Youth. In order to avoid the possibility of another crew rebellion, Jack decided to Choose to hide.

Evan, Jack, Elizabeth, and Will boarded the island to find the Fountain of Youth, while Gibbs, an insider, led the sailors to stay on the Black Pearl.

After the Black Pearl gradually moved away, the four of them began to discuss the goals of their trip.

"According to the information I know, using the Fountain of Youth requires the tears of the mermaid and the Holy Grail."

The biggest difference between Jack and other pirates is that he doesn't like treasure that much. Instead, he likes to chase all kinds of magical things. He will look for various clues to understand legendary stories like the Fountain of Youth.

Ivan shook his head, "I'm not looking for the Fountain of Youth to use it."

Hearing this, Jack and the other three couldn't help but feel a little strange. The Fountain of Youth can make people live forever and stay young. You must know that after Ivan helped Jack to get back the ship, the first place he looked for was the Fountain of Youth.

"Didn't I say before that I just want to go to the sea and wander around to find the Fountain of Youth, just to see the secret of the birth of the Fountain of Youth?"

Since being integrated into the Godhead fragments, lifespan has long been no longer something Ivan needs to consider. After seeing that the curse of the Aztec gold coins has the power of gods, Ivan wants to know which god left this Fountain of Youth. , the goddess of life?

Jack thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that you want to find out the principle of its production and then create a fountain of youth for yourself to use forever?"

"Haha, I don't have to worry about the lifespan issue for a long time, but I haven't had this idea originally. When you mention it, I really think it can be done like this."

The four of them went through thorns and thorns all the way. After spending several hours, they arrived at the foot of the waterfall in the center of the rain forest. There was a huge cave in the mountain stream, and the Fountain of Youth was hidden in it.

The four of them entered and soon reached the end, which was a stone wall with no road. Jack and the other two looked at Ivan, "It looks like we have to find a way in from somewhere else."

"No, we are on the right path." Ivan felt a trace of space energy here, raised his head and looked at the cave roof which was full of rocks.

Jack was surprised: "You mean the road is above?"

"Yes, come with me."

Ivan raised his arm and jumped slightly. When he touched the roof of the cave, his whole body was sucked up. Seeing this, Jack and the other three also followed suit.

Jack and the others only felt dizzy, and then they felt that the three of them were standing in the water. When they recovered, they found that they had left the previous cave and came to another larger cave.

Although it is in a cave, the cave roof above is emitting a faint light, which shines very brightly. I can see the gurgling streams flowing around it, and a light mist fills it. A stone path leads to the center of the pond, where birds are singing and flowers are fragrant. , like a fairyland on earth.

The Spring of Youth is on the small island in the center. A strange arched stone stands there. A small stream of water flows out from the cracks in the stone, dripping onto the ground and turning into a stream.

"So beautiful!" Elizabeth exclaimed.

"Is this the Fountain of Youth?"

The four of them walked onto the island, and Jack walked around the strange ring-shaped rocks. He didn't see anything special about the clear water flowing on it.

"It feels no different from ordinary spring water." Elizabeth said with some disappointment. In her guess, the Fountain of Youth should be golden spring water, just like the color of the golden apple in the story.

Ivan caught some of the dripping spring water with his palm, observed it and said, "This is just ordinary spring water, but it has been blessed by the gods, so it has a magical effect."

"God!"

"Which god gave you this blessing?"

"It should be Poseidon, the King of the Sea."

The divine power that Ivan felt in the spring water is related to the sea. In addition, in the plot, the tears of the mermaid are needed when taking it. It is speculated that the god behind the Fountain of Youth should be Poseidon.

"Do gods really exist?"

"Yes, but he has left this world now."

"Drinking this spring water can really make people stay young forever?" Elizabeth looked at the Fountain of Youth and couldn't help but feel a little moved. For women, staying young forever is an irresistible temptation.

Evan smiled and said: "No, at most it will keep your youth for a while. Jack, you should know how the Fountain of Youth can extend people's lifespan, right?"

"The Age of Rebirth"

"Yes, I read in an ancient book that the Fountain of Youth is actually..."

In fact, there is no vitality in the Fountain of Youth at all. Poseidon is not the goddess of life. He cannot fill an ordinary spring with vitality, so he arranged a law of sacrifice in the spring.

Just like what was shown in the original plot, two silver cups were used to hold the spring water, one of which was added with the mermaid's tears, and two people drank it separately.

Whoever drinks the cup containing only spring water will sacrifice his life and soul, while whoever drinks the cup containing mermaid tears will gain the other person's lifespan.

After Jack finished talking about the way the Fountain of Youth extends life, he jokingly said: "Elizabeth, I can help you find the two Holy Grails, and you can make Will drink the cup of spring water without mermaid tears, so that you can get a few Ten years of youth.”

"I don't want this disgusting thing."

"Will, what about you?"

"Me?" Will turned to look at Elizabeth and said with a silly smile: "What I want is already in front of me."

"You know, there are many people who want to live forever. Even if it is just a few more decades, it is still very rare, but you don't care at all."

Ivan looked at Jack and the others and laughed. He could see that the three of them really had no desire for the Fountain of Youth. Then he blew lightly to disperse the surrounding mist, and saw the surrounding people. There are many dead bones lying in the pool. They are all people who once wanted to obtain the fountain of youth. Some may have been betrayed by their companions, and some were sacrificed to death after drinking the spring water.

The appearance of withered bones suddenly made the original beauty look eerie.

"This is!?"

"The loser who once wanted to live forever."

"Okay, now that we've finished reading the Fountain of Youth, let's leave."
