Chapter 777: Don’t Be Fooled By That Pearl’s Appearance

They had just entered the poisonous fog when Gu Mengmeng was dumbstruck by the scene before her.

The poisonous fog started swirling like water emptying down the bathtub drain.

And this drainage opening was the black pearl in Gu Mengmeng’s hand—the Kiss of the Ocean.

F***?!

Don’t be fooled by that pearl’s appearance!

Gu Mengmeng stared speechless as the poisonous fog swirled around until it was like a massive tornado, being rapidly sucked into the black pearl at its thinnest point. She didn’t know how to react.

When Gu Mengmeng finally composed herself, the poisonous fog around them had thinned considerably, such that they could now vaguely see to a distance of about three to five meters. This scene had a distinctly beautiful and otherworldly feel.

Gu Mengmeng thought about it. Wabei swam for half a day in order to bring her down here. As powerful as the pearl was, it would take some time for it to finish absorbing the whole poisonous fog. It would be too time consuming. Fei Rui and Carter—not to mention Elvis and Lea—would all be driven mad with anxiety if she went back later.

Hence Gu Mengmeng stood beside Wabei and said, “Let’s start swimming now, as the pearl continues to absorb. I think it will be a long time before the entire fog gets sucked in.”

Wabei had come with the intention of escorting Gu Mengmeng. He was totally not interested in the poisonous fog and the Kiss of the Ocean. Hence, he nodded and tucked Gu Mengmeng under his armpit again. He swam leisurely upwards, purposely heading towards areas where the poisonous fog was exceptionally thick, so that the pearl could absorb the venom faster.

Gu Mengmeng detected the scent of blood even before they left the fog.

She frowned. Could it be the Giant Fish Tribe and Mermaid Tribe had started fighting?

Tsk, why were these fish so aggressive.

Gu Mengmeng was worried that Fei Rui would be disadvantaged and urged Wabei to speed up. The closer they got, the more Gu Mengmeng felt that something was not quite right.

The sounds of fighting intensified, and it didn’t sound like Fei Rui and Carter.

After all, Fei Rui was so small and weak compared to Carter. It would have been a one-sided battle. There was no way that the fighting could be so fierce.

In addition, Carter still wanted to pursue Melinda. He couldn’t possibly be so heavy-handed towards Fei Rui. If he really thrashed Fei Rui to a pulp, he could forget about ever developing his relationship with Melinda.

Gu Mengmeng choked after emerging from the poisonous fog.

It was not an issue with the sea water, but the thick amount of blood in it.

Gu Mengmeng nearly couldn’t believe her eyes. What happened? Did she swim into a cemetery of the ocean tribes? Why were there so many dead bodies? Although they had been beaten back to their original fish forms, Gu Mengmeng could tell that they were not your usual fish, but were people of the ocean tribes. However, Gu Mengmeng was unable to recognize any one of them in this form.

The bodies of the ocean tribesmen were different from normal fish. The corpse of a normal fish would float up while the body of an ocean tribesman would sink down.

The poisonous fog had thinned out and they could see bodies gradually sinking into the fog.

The bodies already held injuries, plus they were very vulnerable to the poison. As a result, the corpses gradually disintegrated in the fog, until even not a single fish bone was left.

Gu Mengmeng didn’t have time to care about those that were already dead. She had to see if there were any survivors. She had to try her best to save anyone left.
