Gu Mengmeng tried to walk beside the pathway instead, only to discover that the suction force there was even stronger. She had just touched the ground lightly and was nearly sucked right in.

  Wabei used his snake’s tail to raise Gu Mengmeng onto his head. He had now morphed into his full snake form.

  The massive snake was as large as a train and offered Gu Mengmeng much stability.

  Wabei slithered along the little pathway like a fish swimming in water.

  Gu Mengmeng laughed. Thank goodness Wabei had insisted on coming along with her. Otherwise, she really didn’t know how to continue on.

  “Little shit, never knew that you can be so useful.” Gu Mengmeng patted Wabei’s head.

  Wabei swallowed and used snake language to reply, “Don’t call me little shit. Do you believe that I will throw you into the swamp?”


  Gu Mengmeng shrugged. “I don’t believe.”


  Wabei gritted his teeth, unable to retort.

  Because……

  He himself didn’t believe it either.

  Thanks to Wabei’s abilities, they reached the end of the pathway in about half an hour. Nothing happened during that time.

  Following that……

  Gu Mengmeng was stunned.

  The ocean was behind them like a huge ball of water. Ripples of water could be seen, but it remained as one solid form.

  Meanwhile, they were standing in dry, empty air.

  It was not some underwater cave or any other land. They were at the bottom of the ocean, but all that water was behind them. It was as if an invisible wall of water was keeping the sea water at bay. Not a single drop could be seen leaking out.

  Wabei had turned into human form and the injuries on his body had miraculously healed. Not only that, Gu Mengmeng felt his skin now looked even better than before.

  She heard that a type of deep sea mud was good for the skin, but never imagined that it was really so effective.

  Gu Mengmeng secretly promised herself that she must bring some back with her later. It would make a good gift to her close friends, right?

  Wabei also discovered the changes on his body, but didn’t think much of them. He just urged Gu Mengmeng to move forward quickly.

  After walking for a short while, Gu Mengmeng could see a gigantic clamshell.

  Yes, just one dried-up clamshell.

  Ha, it appeared that not all bizarre monsters could live beyond a thousand years.

  Gu Mengmeng stepped forward with the intention of prying the shell open. But the moment she touched it, cracks appeared on that clamshell and it crumbled to pieces……

  So easily eroded?

  Gu Mengmeng shrugged helplessly and pushed aside the resulting debris. She uncovered a black pearl the size of a fist. It shone with a faint greenish-black light, looking very mysterious.

  Gu Mengmeng held it in her hand and looked around to see if there was anything else. She was thinking…… was this the Kiss of the Ocean? A black pearl?

  It was certainly big, but just didn’t look to be anything special.

  The night pearl that Elvis had given her was not much smaller than this. It was nothing unique.

  Gu Mengmeng held it in her hand for a long while but couldn’t think of anything. There was really nothing else here. Apart from that disintegrated clamshell, there was only this pearl.

  And Gu Mengmeng would fully experience the awesomeness of this pearl on her journey back.

  Returning to the underwater swamp, Gu Mengmeng filled her sleeve pockets with the deep sea mud. She also had Wabei roll around in the mud until he was completely covered in it. Only then did they set off towards the poisonous fog.
