Infinity through different life

Chapter 455 Give me a cry
When all the mermaids saw the two cups in Xu Jing's hands, they all became speechless, too surprised to speak.

"What do you say now?"

Xu Jing weighed the cup and threw it away with a smile.

The mermaid queen hurriedly reached out to catch it, and then exchanged a look with Fiona, the expression of shock and horror couldn't be concealed.

Then they finally made up their minds, nodded to each other, and lay their bodies on the lake. The other mermaids reacted and did the same.

"My lord!"

All the mermaids shouted in unison.

At this moment, more or less power of faith emanated from them, and then they gathered together like hundreds of rivers entering the sea, and then disappeared.

Sensing that these powers of faith have been harvested by the system, Xu Jing was relieved. He waved his hand and said, "Get up, my name is Claygen, and take me to the Fountain of Youth."

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

Xu Jing asked some things along the way, and he finally knew the name of the mermaid queen. The other party was called 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 under the arrangement of the gods, so he lived a long life.

And Xu Jing also asked about the source of the mermaid's hatred for humans. After all, during the contact process, he discovered that the nature of this race is not as scary as the sailors said, and its nature is actually kind.

Speaking of human beings, Anthea revealed the color of memory and told the reason.

As humans explored the ocean, when the first British warship sailed through Whitecap Harbor, the mermaid treated humans with courtesy and kindness.

And the British are also fascinated by the mystery and beauty of the mermaid, and even the mermaid and the handsome sailor have mutual affection and love each other.

However, everything changes when a mermaid who falls in love inadvertently reveals the secret of the Fountain of Youth to the sailor.

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. They used the trust of the mermaid to keep getting clues and researched an alternative ritual to activate the Fountain of Youth to plunder the life of others.

So the tragedy began. In order to live forever, the British began to hunt and kill mermaids, and used various means to trick mermaids into tears, leaving a painful lesson for the mermaid family.

Since then, the mermaids' hatred of 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 living in this sea area has also been spread. There have been many troubles over the years, and some of them It came exclusively for the Fountain of Youth, and we have no choice but to hunt and kill humans in order to survive."

Anthea looked complicated and helpless, as did Fiona next to her.

Xu Jing will not express his opinion for the time being. He actually intends to let the mermaid clan move away from this island, but he also needs to see the layout of the temple. Besides, the most important thing is the fountain of youth. It would be convenient if he can figure out how this spring water is produced. .

Soon, they entered a long channel underwater, and then continued upward along the channel.

Not knowing how far she had gone, Anthea stopped, raised the two holy grails in her hands, and whispered: "Water of life."

WOW~!

Xu Jing felt that the water in the channel started to flow abnormally, and then his body suddenly touched an invisible diaphragm, and a force of devouring enveloped him.

He didn't resist and allowed the force to act on him.

Boo~~!

In the next instant, he entered another space, and his whole body was soaked in a crystal clear pool more than one meter deep.

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

Surrounded by towering ancient trees, hanging trees and vines, streams wading across the ground, white mist diffused around, and in the middle where they were, was a platform covered with green grass. The soft sunlight above the platform dyed the mist misty.

Xu Jing walked out of the pool and looked around. It was like a fairyland, full of vitality. The only disharmony was that there were several bones lying on the ground under the platform.

The bones on these white bones are complete, there is no dislocation or break, and there is not even any rotten breath or fragments of clothing. They have various shapes, but without exception, they all look like they are struggling.

"These are the sins of human beings who started evil rituals. They drank the spring water without tears."

Anthea noticed Xu Jing's gaze and explained something.

Xu Jing nodded. Even if Anthea didn't explain, he could tell. Then he turned around and looked at a rounded rock in the center of the platform.

The lower part of the rock is in the shape of a reservoir, and the pattering clear spring water slides down from the top and pours into the pool, and the pool seems to never be full, maintaining a state of more than half the water level.

"Fountain of Youth!"

Xu Jing approached a few steps, stretched out his hand into the pool, and at the same time released his soul, and began to sense carefully.

Anthea and Fiona looked at each other, but did not move away from where they were, and waited quietly.

After about 10 minutes, Xu Jing sighed dejectedly and gave up his original idea.

He could sense that there was a strange magical power in the Fountain of Youth, but the magic of this spring water was not caused by the current temple. with energy.

Even if the gods fall, it will not affect the brilliance of this temple to continue to exist.

The Fountain of Youth comes from the current island itself. Through the layout of the temple, it draws circulation from the unknown depths of the ground. If the temple is destroyed, the Fountain of Youth will no longer be drawn out, but it does not mean that it will disappear.

As for the functions of plundering lifespan and making mermaids give birth, it is indeed affected by the layout of the current temple, combined with the magic of the fountain of youth itself to play a role.

That is to say, the Fountain of Youth left the temple, although it still contains magic power, it may not be able to play its due role if it is not arranged.

Xu Jing began to wander around the temple, his soul sweeping over every inch of the land. Although he did not understand some of the arrangements, it did not prevent him from memorizing them all and studying them slowly, which also helped him understand the abilities of the gods.

After finishing, he took some fountains of youth, sealed them up and put them away, then returned to the edge of the pool, and said to Anthea and her daughter who were waiting in the pool, "Cry for me, I want a few drops of your tears."
