Chapter 595: Spring Eye
Xifa looked for the sound, and saw a gray-haired pirate stepping on a human-shaped rock on a raised rock, waving a revolver, laughing loudly, as if calling the "undead king" Garritu stepped on his feet with pleasure.
"Well, Churchill still wants to drink the Fountain of Youth? That's right, he betrayed the 'Undead King' and sought cooperation with the 'Admiral of the Stars', not just seeking asylum, he has his own ambitions."
Xifa didn't find it strange at all. People are ambitious animals. Which pirate would like to be a lower class for the rest of his life and not want to be the captain? Danitz still wanted to take 'Vice Admiral Iceberg' home, and Church wanted to drink the Fountain of Youth, so it's not surprising that he went back to take revenge on Agaritu.
However, if he really wants to get the idea of the fountain of youth, he needs to guard against him.
Never underestimate human nature.
Xifa secretly warned himself in his heart.
When he still wanted to continue to explore other places, suddenly a dazzling sunlight lit up in front of his eyes, illuminating a vast expanse of whiteness in front of his eyes. After the sunlight was extremely bright, it began to fade and finally disappeared.
When Xifa opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on the bed in the room, the light outside the window was bright, and he had already returned to the noon state.
He took out his pocket watch and saw that only half an hour had passed.
It's lunch time.
Xifa took Levtor to the restaurant and met Nafi and others. The pirates were whispering in the restaurant. Xifa listened to a few words casually. It seemed that someone hadn't slept and had disappeared.
At this time, Cattleya's voice came from outside the restaurant, and she seemed to use amplification magic, which made her voice unambiguous and very clear: "Dinning as soon as possible, we will stop at a nearby island and wait for the storm to pass. "
"In this sea, when noon meets night, there is a possibility of a terrible storm. It will appear at any time, and it is safer to wait for it to pass before continuing the voyage."
After the sound died down, the pirates stopped talking and had a quick meal.
Xifa showed the speed of eating in the university cafeteria back then, and in just a few minutes, his lunch disappeared, and then he stayed in his room with Nefei and others.
"The sea is terrible."
Naifei seemed to have experienced something, and sat on the chair with a face full of fear, "I once encountered a storm at sea. All of a sudden, a boat disappeared, and there were dozens of people on it."
"If I hadn't been on another ship at that time, if the navigator on our ship hadn't changed the course in time to avoid the storm area, then our fate would have been the same."
"People at sea say that a storm is an invitation from the god of death. If you get caught in a storm and receive an invitation, you can only report to the underworld."
Calvin shook his wrist and threw a gold coin into the air.
"There's a storm ahead."
"There's a storm ahead."
After seven times, he glanced at the gold coin, and said with an uneasy face: "The storm is coming."
As if to confirm Calvin's divination results, more than half an hour later, the originally sunny sky suddenly became overcast and dark, and dense lead clouds emerged and piled up in midair, gradually forming a cloud curtain.
Boom!
Dazzling lightning flashed in the clouds first, followed by a huge thunder sounded between the sea and the sky. Not long after, Xifa saw a tornado, which connected the sky above and the sea below. Huge waves.
Clap clap!
Dense, huge raindrops poured down, slapping on the deck, mast, and furled sails of the 'Future'.
Looking out from the gap in the window, you can see waves as high as mountains in the distance. They make the whole sea undulate, as if the world has come to an end.
There are even more silver snakes dancing between the sky and the earth. The lightning outlines a piece of iron tree and silver flowers. The huge turning electric light strikes down from time to time, and countless small electric snakes split in the surroundings, constantly hitting the sea surface, causing the sea, which was not calm at all, to explode. One after another water column.
In front of this majesty of heaven and earth, everyone's nerves were tense, and they didn't even dare to take a breath.
Fortunately, the storm did not last too long. After more than a quarter of an hour, the wind and waves began to subside, the lightning retreated back to the clouds, the thick clouds dissipated, and the noon sun ruled the sky.
This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
In this way, the "Future" finally arrived at its destination after experiencing two storms in the alternation of noon and night.
According to legend, the ruins where the Fountain of Youth is located.
On the deck, Xifa looked at the ruins from a distance. Behind him, the pirates were cleaning up the accumulated water on the ship. The wind-wetted sails had been fully unfolded, and the sails were driving the "Future" towards the Go to the ruins.
It is said to be a ruin, but it is actually similar to an island. There are obvious architectural traces on it. It seems to be a temple.
It is not difficult to imagine that the building should be exquisite and gorgeous when it is not in ruins.
The transparent sea water is surrounded by the ruins, and it can be seen that it has been spreading to the bottom of the sea, as if there is no end.
When Xifa was observing the ruins, he suddenly saw a pair of eyes above the ruins, illusory, translucent dark purple eyes.
The pair of eyes moved slowly, as if they were observing the ruins, circled around the dilapidated building, and then entered the interior of the building.
Xifa turned around and saw Cattleya also on the deck, and she had already taken off the heavy glasses on her nose. There seemed to be deep purple flowing slowly in her eyes, as if one after another complicated symbols were outlined.
Is this observing the ruins? The extraordinary ability of the 'Secret Peer' is very practical, but also very fairytale. Xifa didn't bother the lady, and quietly waited for the result.
After a while, the deep purple in Cattleya's eyes dimmed, and she put on her eyes again: "There is no danger on the ruins, at least on the ground, for the time being."
on the ground? That is, there are underground areas there?
As soon as he made this judgment, Xifa saw the lady pointing in the direction of the building: "In the center of that building, there is a big gap that can lead to the underground area."
"In it I saw the river, the altar, and a spring."
spring?
Fountain of youth!
Sifa's eyes lit up immediately.
Cattleya glanced at him, and then gave instructions: "Get close to the ruins, but not too close, let's use a small boat to dock."
The people on the ship immediately acted and prepared to dock. The 'Admiral of the Stars' walked towards Xifa: "Agaritu's second officer, 'Slaughter' Kirchies can always predict the danger in advance. If we Ambush near the Fountain of Youth, it is very likely that he will find out."
