Chapter 1161 Disgusting
Early in the morning, the Dead Bear received bad news that the thief Annie had escaped.

This time it was not the pirates' mistake. They knew very well that if they stayed there to watch over her, the possibility of the thief Annie's escape would increase, so they simply stopped guarding her, snapped a few big chains, and then walked away.

This is indeed the case. The ruthless oversized iron lock cannot be opened by just a few words from the thief Annie, but fingers can.

Blaze picked up a bloody nail on the ground, and then picked up the bloodstained iron lock. After comparing them, he knew how the thief Annie escaped.

She put her fingers into the iron lock and pried it open.

The pirates left behind this iron lock with such a big keyhole because they considered that someone might put their fingers in to pry open the lock, so this iron lock is also the infamous "torture lock" in Crete.

This lock is a mechanical lock. When the corresponding key is inserted, a series of mechanisms will be triggered to open the lock. However, if a finger is inserted, the mechanism will still be triggered, but at that time the lock will tell the person who inserted the finger why it is called a torture lock.

The first mechanism is a thin piece that will pry open people's nails.

Blazer was not interested in the record of the pirates who said that a ruthless man could open a lock with his fingers. The thief Annie had undoubtedly broken that record.

After noticing that Blaze didn't reply, the pirates stopped bragging and began to seriously investigate the whereabouts of the thief Annie. Following the blood trail, they found that the thief Annie had probably used the teleportation tower of [Hermes's Travel Hat] to escape.

"No, this is fake." Blaze threw away the bloodstained iron chain in his hand and said calmly, "I don't know her well, but I don't think she would escape in this way. We are not going to kill her."

"The only possibility is that she was stimulated in some way. The only thing that can stimulate her now is the Fountain of Youth, and escaping from here means getting away from the Fountain of Youth which is so close."

"She is still hiding on the island, or she is still on the boat. Find her and don't let anyone get on or off the boat."

The pirates nodded. They were extremely obedient at this moment. The Fountain of Youth was within reach, and the legacy of the great pirates was also within sight.

To be honest, their desire for the fountain of youth is not really that strong; their lives are not so luxurious as to pursue rejuvenation.

But after the pirates searched for a long time, the time for compass calibration was about to come, but the thief Annie was still nowhere to be found, and Blaze began to doubt his judgment.

Just at this moment, Pais appeared on the deck of the Dead Bear and strolled leisurely.

"I feel like the Fountain of Youth is near, but you're still not ready to go..."

"You think too much." Blaze closed his eyes and used his [Blind Eyes] to look around. After making sure that the thief Annie was not on the Dead Bear, he decided to let the Dead Bear set off.

The members of [Somado] boarded the boat together and surrounded Pais intentionally or unintentionally. It seemed like they were protecting him, but Pais, who was among them, knew that they were the ones who had bad intentions.

Pais pretended not to know and lifted his silver hair to face the sea breeze.

When the time came, a huge whirlpool appeared on time, and the Dead Bear slowly sailed into the whirlpool. Before entering the whirlpool, Blaze looked back at the Cyclops Island. Audrey and Marika were standing on the shore watching him leave.

The Dead Bear slowly sank into the whirlpool. The pirates cheered and celebrated that they had found the Fountain of Youth. At this time, they dared to approach even the ogres and hug them.

But soon the perceptive pirates noticed something was wrong. The foreigners looked serious as if they were about to face a war. They gradually restrained their joy, and a tense atmosphere spread in silence. The vortex passage leading to the Fountain of Youth was unexpectedly long, and it took several minutes for the Dead Bear to be squeezed out of the passage.

The moment it broke through the sea surface, everyone saw a huge island in front of them, but everyone was also stunned.

The legendary fountain of youth is in a place where birds sing and flowers bloom. The animals and plants there live in a good place and can all remain young forever.

In all the stories describing the Fountain of Youth, the background is always picturesque scenery, but what is in front of us is dead silence, and a large number of pirate ships are stranded on the island like tombstones in a mass grave.

These ships are not the end. What is creepy is the scorched and dead silence here, which is totally unassociated with the legendary fountain of youth.

"Get off the boat and take a look first. You guys stay on the boat."

For the first time, the pirates nodded seriously. This time they really felt that something was wrong and it was safe to stay on the Dead Bear.

Blaze and Greenland jumped off the Dead Bear and stepped onto the island. Unexpectedly, Pace did not follow them, but stood at the bow and looked at somewhere on this strange and dead island.

That direction might be where the Fountain of Youth is.

Several people followed Pais's line of sight and walked into the depths of the island. Their footprints added a bit of vitality to this scorched and dead world. Someone climbed out of the foaming sea water and followed the footprints.

"There are no monsters at all." Greenland looked at the surrounding environment and had a rare nauseous reaction.

Baguette looked around, frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "The environment here looks like it has been polluted by heavy metals."

"Heavy metal pollution? Is this style of painting normal?" Greenland complained, but after Baguette Cake gave this answer, she looked at it more and more like it.

As we went deeper into the island, the eerie and terrifying nature of the island gradually emerged, with a large number of corpses floating in the yellow river. They were wearing classic pirate costumes, holding weapons and maintaining the same fighting postures as before.

They were pirates who had come to look for the Fountain of Youth. The moment they found it, they did what all pirates would do: they fought each other.

The further they went in, the more anxious everyone became. This island looked destroyed, so would the fountain of youth still be intact?
Suddenly, there was a clear sound of birds singing, followed by the sound of flowing clear spring water.

Everyone immediately quickened their pace, following the sound of the spring. As they got closer to the sound of the spring, the surrounding environment gradually changed, the burnt yellow color faded a little, but the pirate skeletons became more and more.

By the time everyone arrived at their destination, the pirates' bodies had piled up like a small hill. They seemed to want to crawl to the center after death, but they restrained each other, and finally turned into a strange bird's nest of skeletons.

A ray of light fell from the top of the skeleton bird's nest, illuminating the huge natural pool in the center of the nest. The sound of the spring water came from it, and there was indeed spring water flowing out of it.

But the spring water was yellow with disgusting white foam.

The Fountain of Youth has been polluted.
