It became a signpost for those sea monsters to find the source of the water of life.

boom--

A gigantic octopus tentacle poked out from the stream and slammed heavily on the ground. Then, hideous-looking and extremely terrifying sea beasts crawled out of the clear stream.

That scene was like a monster crawling out of a child’s dream.

“It won’t unfold like this next time!”

"Those monsters with an average level of over LV200 destroyed the Golden Apple Forest. Just like Sun Wukong entering the Peach Garden, they madly destroyed the golden apples, and then their levels increased rapidly!"

After Greenland's shout, everyone became alert. They also remembered something more serious: the Dead Bear was still beside the stream!

This place was not far from the stream, and Blaze immediately jumped up into the air and drew out Gungnir from behind him.

Fortunately, Captain Barber and Typhon were right next to the Dead Bear. With Typhon there, the Dead Bear was safe. They even cleverly began to repair the Dead Bear.

And better luck is yet to come.

A large number of high-level underwater monsters are eager to invade here, but at the moment of invasion, they are stunned by the beautiful scenery before them, just like they did before.

Wild animals are closer to nature than humans. Their instinctive brains instantly understood the beauty and tranquility of the golden apple forest and they were intoxicated by it.

They stood there like pilgrims, shaking their bodies gently. Blaze breathed a sigh of relief and let go of Gungnir.

But he relaxed too early, as a huge sea monster suddenly dissolved into a clear stream of water, and the monsters next to it also melted one after another.

They melted in the sweetness and turned into clear streams that watered the earth.

"what!"

Chapter 1195 Return to the Original Form of Life

Blaze was shocked, but what surprised him even more was the lake elves that crawled out of the twisted hull of the Eternal Avalon.

They were naked and smiled wildly at the clear water that the monster had transformed into.

"Water from the Holy Grail!"

"It's the water from the Holy Grail! Happiness, we are so happy!"

They watched the monsters melt, but bathed in the clear water without a care in the world.

There also seems to be an answer for those missing sailors.

Blaze only felt a sense of falling, and he was pulled back to the ground.

"Blazer, what did you see?"

"Damn it!" Blaze did not respond to Greenland's question, but rushed to Pais, grabbed her collar and lifted her up, "What the hell is going on? Those monsters have melted into water!"

"What the hell is going on here!"

"Is this a very strange thing?" Pais' breathing became difficult, but the smile on his face was not affected. Instead, he looked a little confused, as if Blaze was being unreasonable.

“The water of life flowing in it can give birth to life, and in turn, life can return to the water of life.”

"Believe me, you only saw the horrible sight of them melting, but they melted because they were happy enough and wanted to stay in it forever."

"In your terms, they went to heaven."

Blaze's expression changed, but he still put Pais down first.

Previously, he believed that the effect of the water of life was to respond to the inner desires of life, and even to the extent of rebirth. But rebirth seemed to be just a stage, and continuous contact with the water of life would melt into the water of life.

In other words, the water of life has always been in accordance with the inner wishes of life. It is only because of being in the water of life that the inner wishes have changed and become a desire to return to the water of life and become a part of the water of life.

The reason why the fairies in the lake who were immersed in the water of the Holy Grail were not melted was probably because the monsters in the seabed were directly melted.

The monsters' wishes and desires are extremely simple, which is to survive. After eating and drinking, they have no more desires, so their only wish is to return to the water of life.

Compared with this, human desires and wishes are so many and too complicated. After eating and drinking, they will think about lust. After thinking about lust, they will pursue higher realms. These desires are endless, so they will not return to the water of life immediately.

Even if they soaked for a long time, they would only enjoy the feeling of soaking in it like the goblins in the lake. Not to mention those legendary pirates, who were basically a collection of evil before that, with extremely strong egos, and they were not melted even after staying in the bottle of life for so many years.

But this does not mean that humans will not be dissolved. Witnessing the source of the water of life - the Golden Apple Forest, and living in it is probably more effective than directly soaking in the water of life. So the monsters melted soon after they saw it, and those sailors who were relatively not as evil as the captain also melted.

This bottle of life is indeed full of vitality, but staying in it for too long will melt people. It is really a joke from hell.

"Go find the golden apple quickly. We can't stay here for long!"

……

"Ahem--ah ...

Morgan supported himself on the ground with his hands, vomiting sea water frantically, with liquid gushing out of his facial features.

Fortunately, she had trained her breath-holding ability hard in order to transform into the fairy of the lake, and this ability did not become a skill, so it was not washed away, otherwise she would have drowned.

Thanks to the life-threatening training back then, even though her face was almost deformed by the sea water, when the ocean current returned to normal speed, she maintained her beautiful mermaid-like posture and did not reveal a single flaw in front of the crazy fairies in the lake.

But the sight of those sea monsters defecating and pissing in the water and then fighting each other in a bloody mess still broke her defenses. Not only did she spit out more than half of her air, she also swallowed several mouthfuls of sea water.

This is even more devastating.

Fortunately, the fairies in the lake were driven mad by the attack of the sea monsters and did not notice that she was almost nauseated and suffocated to death.

After vomiting for a long time, Morgan stood up with trembling legs. He held on to the broken wall and walked out of the twisted [Eternal Avalon], and saw the golden apple forest in front of him.

"Is this the world inside the bottle of life?" Morgan gasped. Her legs were cramping and she could hardly stand.

"Water from the Holy Grail!"

“We’re back here!”

The lake fairies led by Claude cheered and screamed, completely unaware of the sea monsters next to them. Of course, the sea monsters didn't notice the lake fairies either.

Morgan frowned as she saw the golden apple forest reflected in the eyes of the sea monsters. Then they dissolved in front of her and turned into clear water that flowed into the stream.

This strange scene did not scare Morgan, but instead gave her an inexplicable ominous premonition.

The atmosphere here made her feel somewhat familiar, as if she had been here before, but her extraordinary memory would not let her forget such a special scenery before her.

At this moment, she felt a faint breeze that seemed to come from far away. Her eyes subconsciously followed the wind and she saw the bright silver boy falling in the sky.

"where!"

Morgan's expression lit up with joy, and he subconsciously took a step in that direction, but then came panic. Was the lie going to be revealed so soon?

The moment he knows I'm the Everqueen, will he listen to my explanation, or will he simply raise his sword against me?

Morgan looked at the mirror-like shiny wall with difficulty, and it reflected... a woman with tattered clothes and disheveled hair, who looked like a tortured refugee. Her ice-blue lipstick had even faded due to vomiting, revealing her originally pale lips.

It would be strange if it could still be recognized.

Although the identification was tricky, fortunately Blaze didn't know her name, not to mention that Blaze didn't seem like someone who would casually identify such a disheveled woman.

"Okay, go find him."

Morgan took a step forward happily, and then a cold chill made her shiver, as if something was looking at her with resentment.

She turned her head sharply, and there was nothing behind her.

"Is it my imagination?"

Morgan muttered to himself as he looked at the intact throne.

She couldn't figure out what was going on, so she simply stopped caring and carefully slid down the Eternal Avalon, which was completely deformed and unrecognizable, and ran towards the golden apple forest.

The [Eternal Avalon] fell into a dead silence, lifeless, but filled with water vapor.

Chapter 1196 Apple and Belt

Under the guidance of the counterfeiter, everyone rushed directly towards their destination.

Compared to Blaze who was horrified by the dissolution of the sea monsters, the people of [Somado] looked accustomed to it. Greenland even said [Congratulations] for no apparent reason while clapping.

This unusual behavior made Blaze think that Greenland was possessed by evil spirits, and he almost punched him, leaving the others to explain.

Simply put, more than a hundred years ago, foreigners discovered a world where life could melt into water, and this situation has become commonplace today.

In the world discovered by the stranger, life, or more precisely, people, dissolve into water because the barriers between people disappear. But because of the disappearance, the independence of the spirit is lost, and it is precisely because of this that humans are dissolved and integrated into water.

This principle is also applicable to the dissolution phenomenon in the bottle of life, because the spirit is highly unified into tranquility and serenity, and finally loses its own appearance and becomes the water of life.

Greenland also gave another explanation, which is that they have a bottle that can hold people and then melt them into blood after a period of time.

However, to use this dangerous weapon, you need to call out the target's name first.

This also explains why strangers have a lot of weird names that don't sound like their real names. It is very important to hide your real name.

Although they were chatting idly, their pace was not slow at all. They reached their destination in just a few tens of seconds.

There were no traps or enemies along the way. We did encounter a few pirates, but they all looked very happy, and even if we spoke to them, they would only mutter to themselves.

"This is it." The forger glanced at the compass, then raised his head and looked around. The coordinates were correct, and the surrounding environment also looked the same.

The surrounding trees seem to have been carefully planned. The golden apple trees here appear thicker and more weathered than those outside. The bark is covered with lines of time, and looks calm and solemn.

They surround it, with lush yet slightly drooping branches and leaves, as if paying tribute to the center.

In the center of this pattern stands a unique tree.

Its trunk is straight and upright, its bark is as smooth as silver, emitting a faint glow. Its branches stretch out in all directions in an elegant manner, but are slightly gathered at the top, forming a natural tray shape.

And on this "tray", a golden apple was quietly suspended, as if held up by an invisible force.

It was the only golden apple in the entire golden apple forest that was not growing on a tree. It looked as if it had been picked and placed there.

【Golden Apple】

[It is dedicated to the most beautiful goddess]

"Dedicated to the most beautiful goddess?" Blaze frowned. Pais's goal was to restore his posture as the goddess of youth Hebe. The words youth and beauty were basically tied together.

No matter how you look at it, this thing is there to help Pais recover his divine body, and has nothing to do with repairing Audrey's face.

Blaze held back his hands and looked at the strangers. He still remembered that he couldn't help but scoop up the Fountain of Youth with the magic bag, which resulted in the accidental awakening of the surrounding skeletons. If it weren't for that mistake, he would have pushed Pais into the Fountain of Youth to wash on the spot.

Greenland and others didn't dare to move. They recognized what it was and whoever picked it up would be in big trouble.

"We don't have much time, rock, paper, scissors!"

The competition to see who would be the unlucky one was decided in an instant, with Blaze's stone losing to the others' pistols.

Blaze sighed in regret. He had wanted to use dynamic vision to observe what others would do. When he saw the abnormal speed of others' index fingers, he thought they would use scissors, but he didn't expect it to be a gun.

But the problem was with him. He actually forgot that strangers like to find hidden professions and hidden skills, and they would dig deep even for a very simple game of rock-paper-scissors. He thought it was too simple.

He was convinced to lose.

Blaze took a deep breath, walked to the tray tree in the middle, and then climbed up the tree. He was extremely vigilant during the whole process, fearing that the tree would suddenly attack him, but until he grasped the golden apple and took it away, there was no change around him.

Normally, just the three steps of him approaching the tree, climbing up the tree, and getting the golden apple would trigger a battle, which did not violate common sense.

There must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary. But for now, they can only honestly suppress their anxiety and take the golden apple back.

On the way back to the pirates' retirement village, Blaze glanced in the direction of the stream. The sea monsters were still invading the world, but all of them were dissolved into water of life within a minute.

Not to mention the amazing melting efficiency, at least hundreds of sea monsters have melted so far. If all the sea monsters were melted into an equal amount of water of life, then the stream would have turned into a small lake by now.

But nothing changed there.

After returning to the Pirate Retirement Village, the Chainsaw Demon and Baguette Cake who were in charge of staying behind shook their heads at them, which meant that Pais sat there leisurely throughout the whole process and did nothing.

"The thing has been retrieved. How can we use it to heal the wound on Audrey's face?" Blaze threw the golden apple to Pais. At this point he was too lazy to test the apple.

"I bet she'll act like she just got an authentic toy and say 'I finally got it'!" Greenland whispered, holding the staff in his hand.

There is a high probability that Pais will turn hostile after getting the things.

Pais caught the golden apple, looked at it with nostalgia on her face, and whispered in admiration of its beauty. Then she slowly stood up and came to Audrey.

"Take it. When you have it, the scar on your face will disappear, and the appearance of the Moon Goddess will be restored, becoming more perfect and the most beautiful being."

Audrey looked at the golden apple that Pais handed to her. It was the most perfect fruit she had ever seen, shining like a little sun, and its surface was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting her damaged face.

"...Forget it. This kind of self-praising thing is quite pathetic." Audrey sighed regretfully, slowly backed away, and entered the protective circle.

Pais's expression did not change, but many shadows appeared on his face, and the hand holding the golden apple dropped.

"What a foolish choice. I wanted to at least let you briefly feel the feeling of being the Most Beautiful, and for others to get rewards commensurate with their efforts. But now..."

The golden apple shattered in Pais's palm, and golden juice gushed out like flowing starlight, flowing over her fingertips and then sliding down.
