Chapter 412: Chapter 412, the Underground River, the elixir of life
In the depths of the crypt.
The sudden appearance of a human skeleton made the netizens break out in cold sweat.
This scene was too strange.
A crypt opened by a human was surrounded by green plants, and in the depths of such a crypt, there were a few skeletons that had been there for an unknown number of years.
What exactly happened?
Ning Fei looked for a place to settle down. He passed through the skeletons and came to the end of the crypt.
The netizens were a little disappointed and a little nervous.
They had thought that there would be a cave filled with treasures inside.
However, such a thing would only happen in movies.
[ there’s no treasure! ]
[ the Pirates have squandered all their money. Even if it’s not enough, the pirate captain would bury the treasure in his own manor. How could he bury it in the wilderness where there are few people! ]
[ then why did the pirates dig this place? ]
[ could it be that there’s a gold mine down there? They’re digging for gold. ]
[ it’s possible! ]
[ this is the depths of a tropical rainforest. There aren’t even mountains here. How could there be a gold mine? ]
[ if you say you’re digging for oil, I’ll believe you! ]
The netizens who were watching the live broadcast were discussing intensely.
It could be seen that everyone’s attention was focused on what was happening in the live broadcast room.
“Survival in the wilderness”had broken through the highest viewership rating record in the world. Now, many people around the world were paying attention to Ning Fei.
“The end of the crypt is ahead.”
“These people have dug into an underground river.”
“If I’m not wrong, the thing they are looking for should be the fountain of Youth.”
Ning Fei looked at the river below and said softly.
His words were like a bolt of lightning, exploding all over the world!
[ fountain of youth... ? ! ]
[ that Chinese said that there is a fountain of youth here? ]
[ what is this place? I want to Go There! ]
[ compared to the Fountain of youth, treasures are nothing! ]
[ does the fountain of youth really exist? ]
Humans had always had one ultimate goal in life, and that was immortality.
Not only did the ancient Chinese emperors have the dream of immortality, but there were also many myths about the immortal spring and the immortal body overseas.
Obviously, people were extremely passionate about it.
Ning Fei looked down at the underground river, but he was very calm.
He knew that the immortal spring simply could not exist.
The aging of the human body was an irreversible process. It was the inevitable result of the cells constantly dividing. How could the spring water have such an effect.
However, although it could not live forever, the spring water must have its own unique ability. Otherwise, the animals in this area would not be so big.
“In the depths of the island, the oxygen content is high. In addition, there are some special ingredients in the water. That’s why there are so many magical species.”
“I see.”
Ning Fei nodded.
Then, he continued:
“In the age of navigation, there were already legends about the fountain of Youth.”
“The natives of the Caribbean Sea believed that the Fountain of youth was on the Bimini Islands. Juan, the first Spanish governor in the 16th century, looked for the fountain of youth in Florida.”
“In that era, the pirates were extremely fanatical about these magical stories.”
“The Fountain of youth, the Philosopher’s Stone, the elixir of life, and the elixir of life were all widely spread around.”
“It was precisely because of the attraction of these things that there were so many pirates looking for them on the sea.”
Hearing Ning Fei’s words, the netizens nodded and came to a sudden realization.
[ isn’t this one piece? Roger said that his secret treasure was in All blue, which was the beginning of the era of navigation. ]
[ at that time, the craft of shipbuilding was just beginning to develop. Many capitalists drove their ships to various places to burn, kill, and plunder, while also looking for some magical treasures. ]
[ this makes sense. One of the ten great pirates, Henry Morgan, accidentally discovered that the creatures in the center of this island were relatively large, so he thought that there would be the fountain of youth in this place. ]
[ so he sent people to dig, but he couldn’t figure out why these people died here. ]
[ because they dug up something? They fought each other to take it for themselves. and the person who succeeded in taking it for himself has already left. ]
[ or it could be that they dug for months and found nothing. They were so angry that they wanted to attack their teammates to vent their anger. ]
This time, there were more bullet comments.
Whether it was the pirate’s secret treasure or the legendary Fountain of youth, to an ordinary person, they were just an illusion.
But now, Ning Fei’s live broadcast showed them such a scene.
Everything seemed so mysterious.
At this moment, the sound of a system notification suddenly rang in Ning Fei’s mind.
[ Ding! Spiritual item: longevity pill detected in underground water. Mission activated: Find Longevity Pill. ]
[ mission requirement: dive into underground river to find longevity pill. ]
[ longevity pill can slow down the aging process of humans and increase their lifespan. It can increase their youthful looks by up to ten years. ]
Hearing the system’s voice, Ning Fei’s expression froze.
“Longevity pill?”
“There’s actually a longevity pill in this place?”
Thinking of this, Ning Fei silently asked in his heart:
“System, how did the longevity pill grow?”
“At the bottom of this underground water, there’s a natural mineral that hasn’t been discovered by humans. It contains ingredients that can slow down the aging of cells. As the mineral flows out of the underground water, it will slowly gather into something like a pill. That’s the longevity pill.”
The system replied.
Hearing the system’s words, Ning Fei nodded. So that was the case.
“Then how am I supposed to consume such a pill? I Can’t just eat the mineral directly into my stomach, right?”
The system added, “You can place it in a well or a teacup. The longevity pill will slowly show its effects.”
“So it has to be soaked and drunk. I understand now.”
However, there was actually a treasure in this place, So Ning Fei naturally wouldn’t miss it.
Thinking of this, he took off his shirt, put his satchel and flashlight to the side, and said to the netizens,
“I plan to go down and take a look.”
“The pirates will go to look for the Fountain of youth. This is definitely not realistic and goes against scientific evidence.”
“However, the water below is from the underground source. The water is the clearest and cleanest.”
“It’s not a problem to take a bath.”
The netizens had calmed down when they saw Ning Fei’s expression.
Everyone had been excited because they had thought that there would be a pirate treasure.
Now that they realized that reality was cold and not as adventurous and magical, they became much calmer.
[ Abbey Dean Ning said that he must believe in science. ]
[ what a guy. He threw a black gorilla on his back, performed qinggong in the dense forest, and then talked to me about science. ]
[ he even killed a forest boa before. ]
[ he jumped several meters high in one jump, and almost flew up. ]
[ there is no such thing as martial arts in this world. As he spoke, Abbey Dean Ning flew on his sword and disappeared into the horizon. ]
[ hahaha, it’s starting to smell like that. ]
Ning Fei did not expect that the netizens would become happy again because of his casual words. The atmosphere in the live broadcast room was exceptionally happy.
He dove into the underground river.
Because there was no live broadcast equipment, the two drones could only shine on the surface of the underground river.
The river was very wide. Because it was too dark, the netizens could not see what was inside.
“There is no light below. What if Abbey Dean Ning gets lost?”
“How dare he jump into the underground river? The terrain below is very complicated, and it is pitch-black.”
“Imagine that you are holding your breath in the water, and you can’t see anything. You can only touch the hard wall when you touch it.”
“Stop it, I Can’t Breathe Anymore!”
“Is he courting death?”
Many foreign netizens knew the dangers of the underground river and could not help but ask.
In fact, Ning Fei had used the breath-holding card the moment he entered the water.
This was the reward that he had drawn the earliest, and he had never had the chance to use it.
The breath-holding card could hold his breath for 30 minutes, and the effect was very good.
The system gave Ning FEI instructions so that he could see the direction of the longevity pill clearly.
It was also fortunate that he had come down. If it had been anyone else who had come down, even if they had brought professional equipment, they would never have been able to find the longevity pill that had been formed from the accumulation of natural minerals for God knows how many years.
