The giant vicious beast carcass floated on the surface of the sea.
The silent youths looked at the figure standing on the deck with trust and eagerness in their eyes.
The thin mist was getting thicker and wisps of white mist started to appear. In less than half a minute, the mist became denser and denser.
It was almost at the critical point. When the white mist intertwined with each other, the whole place would turn into the Death Mist Zone.
This meant that the vicious beasts that were strangely restrained would not be able to attack them anymore.
Everyone was waiting for Tang Ling to make a decision. It had to be!
Tang Ling had displayed his abilities earlier, so even if they had to run, he would be the one leading them.
After the crisis was resolved, everything slowly came into focus.
At first, Tang Ling was the one who strongly stopped everyone from entering the Death Mist Zone. Many of the teenagers felt guilty for being late in thanking him.
It also increased their trust in Tang Ling.
"The battle is over." The Death Mist Zone was right before their eyes, but Tang Ling did not panic at all.
His calmness affected everyone. At least, the fleet did not fall into a panic.
Even then, the vicious beasts in the Death Mist Zone became even more frenzied. They even noticed the teenagers and started to break free from their restraints to attack the teenagers' fleet.
"Form up." Tang Ling gave the order. He did not say whether he was going to enter the Death Mist Zone or run for their lives.
Even so, none of the teenagers asked anything. When Tang Ling gave the order to form up, they quickly coordinated with him.
With precise orders and swift coordination, the fleet soon formed a giant triangle according to Tang Ling's order. The Harvest was in front of the triangle, facing the Death Mist Zone directly.
At this point, even if Tang Ling did not say anything, anyone with the slightest thought would know that he was going to enter the Death Mist Zone.
Was he going to enter? The swarm of vicious beasts was terrifying. Some of the young warriors realized Tang Ling's decision and their faces turned pale. They gulped nervously but dared not voice any objections.
Even if they did not enter the Death Mist Zone, they would still die. The densely packed vicious beasts were outside the mist zone, and without Tang Ling's command, they would still die.
Tang Ling's warship was still in front of the Harvest. Amidst the silence, Tang Ling suddenly jumped onto the deck of the warship.
He raised his hand and clenched it into a fist.
It was a common gesture in the Purple Moon era, and it meant to move forward.
Were they really going to move forward? Every single navigator from Darkness Port who was piloting the battleship in the cabin was sweating profusely.
They were only responsible for driving the ship and could not participate in anything else.
However, in the face of such danger, he would definitely feel afraid, but he would not have any power to resist.
"I will go in alone. You just need to trust me! " After that, he lowered his hand and stood on top of the cabin, allowing the ship to move slowly towards the Death Mist Zone.
"What will happen?" Samuel somehow arrived at the Harvest. She insisted on sitting beside Higan and curiously looked at Tang Ling's ship.
Was he worried? Samuel was not worried at all. In her heart, Tang Ling was as cunning as an old fox.
Not only was he calculative, he never suffered any losses, and he was also good at inciting others. He would never place himself in danger.
He might be doing all this just to show off, but he must have a way out.
One had to admit that Samuel understood Tang Ling at least 6 out of 10. Even though they did not interact much, with Samuel's intelligence, he could still summarize a person's traits.
Even so, Samuel could not figure out what Tang Ling's trump card was.
Higan panted slightly when she heard Samuel's question. Her injuries had not fully recovered and she was still feeling weak. She curled up her legs and laid down on the chair comfortably.
Samuel thoughtfully covered the blanket beside the chair for Higan and leaned on her legs.
The scene was as beautiful as it could get. One was beautiful, and the other was elegant. One was a gentle but poisonous flower swaying beside the Hell Water, and the other was a nimble and heroic elf dancing under the moonlight.
Both of them were beautiful and filled with a strong and unique temperament.
Even Nan Yu, who never paid attention to a girl's beauty, could not help but hold his breath when he saw the scene.
Higan did not resist Samuel's approach? Isn't it a little strange?
Xi Feng could not help but feel a little jealous. Even though she thought the scene was beautiful, she did not know that after the bloody battle, Higan's heart had changed a little. Some of the ice was broken, and there was a little more softness in it.
Even if she wanted to lean on Higan's shoulder now, she might not reject her.
Higan would never have answered Samuel's question in the past, but at that moment, she softly reminded Samuel, "Who do you think is driving Tang Ling's ship?"
As she spoke, she seemed to find it interesting. She curled her lips into a smile and supported her cheek with one hand. Together with her lying on her side, she looked indescribably seductive.
"Oh my god, Higan is so beautiful. If I recruit her into my group, I can use her as a signboard to promote myself to the public. "Samuel was a little dazed at first.
Then, he suddenly recalled what Higan said, and his gaze changed all of a sudden.
Yes, who is driving Tang Ling's ship? When he thought about the light when Tang Ling came back, the question did not seem to be as simple as it seemed.
No one else noticed it, but Higan did. It was not just because she was paying attention to Tang Ling. She was smart and might even be on par with Tang Ling.
It was an interesting question.
With that in mind, Samuel could not help but curl his lips into a smile. He placed his head on Higan's thigh and teased, "I'm afraid she's just a little vixen. Aren't you worried?"
"Hmm? A little vixen? " Higan rolled her eyes and said, "I always thought I was the scariest vixen."
"…" What? Samuel was rendered speechless. He could not help but glance at Higan. She was right. Why would she be worried about a vixen? If she said she was a vixen, what other woman would be qualified to be a vixen in front of her?
However, Samuel could not hold back the little devil in her heart. She had the urge to snatch Higan away from Tang Ling, so she teased, "Men are always looking for novelty. In front of novelty, beauty and ugliness don't seem that important anymore, do they? Speaking of which, it's better for a girl to be with another girl. What do you think, Higan? "
"I see. Then, I'll always be fresh. Isn't that great?" Higan giggled and was not moved by Samuel's words.
Samuel could not help but roll her eyes, but in the next moment, she did not care about teasing Higan anymore because Tang Ling's ship had arrived at the edge of the Death Mist Zone.
It was then that Tang Ling's ship stopped.
However, his ship was so close to the Death Fog Zone. It was only a few centimeters away, and the bow of the ship would touch the edge of the Death Fog Zone. It felt like he was walking into a fish pond filled with hungry beasts, and the tip of his feet was already at the extreme edge.
The hungry vicious beasts would go berserk.
So would the vicious beasts in the Death Mist Zone. They started to crazily swarm towards Tang Ling's ship. Countless vicious beasts leaped out from the water and tried all kinds of methods to attack, bite, and ram.
The vicious beasts at the front were all at least Level 3 and above. There were even two Level 5 vicious beasts among them. Their bodies were so huge that they looked like small hills towering in front of the ship.
Just the sight of the vicious beasts pressured one greatly. It would take a lot of courage to even back away, let alone get close to them.
Tang Ling sat down. No one knew what he was going to do. Was he going to rest for a while?
Everyone was nervous. If Tang Ling's ship moved forward another 10 meters, no, 5 meters, they would know what would happen even without the need to calculate.
He and his ship would be torn to pieces!
It was still not too late to turn back! Some of the more cowardly sailors seemed to have lost the courage to continue watching. They even started to pray that Tang Ling would turn back.
As for those who were more daring, they weren't any better off. Their gazes were glued to Tang Ling's ship, and their backs were drenched in cold sweat.
Tang Ling was powerful enough to fight a Level 4 vicious beast alone, but against so many vicious beasts, even a high-rank Purple Moon Warrior would have to avoid them. Based on the knowledge of these would-be Purple Moon Warriors, they could not think of any other way that Tang Ling could solve the situation and allow the fleet to enter the Death Mist Zone.
So, was Tang Ling hesitating when he suddenly stopped and sat down? Or was he considering whether to enter the Death Mist Zone or not?
**
"There are so many of them. They are like lumps of meat. Are you sure you can handle them?" Tang Ling sat with his back facing the others, so no one could see his front. Of course, no one could see the little conch hanging on his chest.
Tang Ling was mumbling softly into the conch shell.
"I've told you a million times. Why don't you have basic trust in people?" A girl's crisp voice came from the conch. She seemed to be very dissatisfied with Tang Ling as she complained.
"Hey, if this isn't right, I'm dead meat. How long have we known each other? That's not how you talk about trust, is it? "Tang Ling raised a brow. He was not worried at all.
"Just spit it out. What do you want?" The girl sounded helpless, but she seemed to have seen through Tang Ling.
The guy was not worried at all. He was seizing the chance to negotiate.
"Hehe." Tang Ling chuckled honestly and said, "I can bet my life to the merfolk. In return, I feel that the Mermaid Clan should at least give me some gifts. It doesn't have to be something precious. Just give me a few boxes of whatever you think is presentable. I'll … "
"I've had enough of you! If humans are all like you, I'm starting to regret working with them. I should … "
"Tell me, do you have any gifts?"
"Yes."
"How many?"
"Two at most."
"Okay, let's go!" Tang Ling suddenly stood up and twisted the conch in front of his chest.
The conch trembled slightly, and the ship under his feet continued to move forward, entering the Death Fog area.
**
"We're going in." Lancaster tried his best to maintain his composure, but his trembling hands on the railing of the ship betrayed him.
As expected, the moment Tang Ling's ship entered the Death Mist Zone, all the vicious beasts that gathered at the edge of the Death Mist Zone went berserk.
They eagerly attacked Tang Ling's ship, and the giant waves they stirred up almost capsized Tang Ling's ship.
On top of that, all sorts of talents were accumulating. From afar, it looked like the mist was suddenly lit up in all sorts of colors. It was a majestic sight to behold.
However, a moment later, tragedy struck! Why would Tang Ling do that? Even though Tang Ling looked calm, was he really calm?
Was he really calm? Tang Ling was lying on the deck, trying his best to keep his body from falling into the sea. He spat out a mouthful of seawater and urged the conch loudly, "What the hell are you doing? Hurry up! "
However, there was no sound coming from the conch at this moment.
Did I fall for it? What should I do now? Tang Ling had a bad feeling about this, but what kind of person was Tang Ling? He was a person who could maintain his terrifying rationality at all times. He knew it was not the time to be calculative. Even if he was in a hopeless situation, he had to find a way to survive!
It was at that moment that the conch in front of Tang Ling's chest started to play a melodious harp melody.
As the melody played, the vicious beasts that gathered at the edge of the Death Mist Zone seemed to have calmed down a little. At least, the frenzied attacks on Tang Ling and his warship suddenly stopped.
After the harp melody sounded, it did not stop. Following the tinkling of the harp, an ancient yet melodious melody flowed out from the conch in front of Tang Ling's chest.
The music was so beautiful. Amidst the drifting fog, it carried traces of sorrow, but also a sense of mystery that seemed to come from ancient times. It was accompanied by a lingering sigh that spread throughout the entire sea region in an instant.
Everyone was stunned. Where did such beautiful music come from? More importantly, as the melody continued, the vicious beasts went from quiet to peaceful. They returned to the surface and started to swim softly after Tang Ling's boat. They whimpered and whimpered in a friendly manner as if they were responding to the beautiful melody.
"Ahhh, ahhh …
I am a wave in the sea, borrowing a ray of starlight from the night sky.
I let the starlight rest on my chest, singing softly to the surging of the ocean.
There was light in the sea and songs in the sea.
The sea has me, it has me …
Ahhh, ahhh …
I am the waves in the sea, let the starlight illuminate a teardrop.
I let you stay in my soul and let you sting along with the waves of longing.
.....
...”
The sound of the harp didn't stop. As the heavenly melody continued, a perfect and emotional female voice joined in.
The magic contained in this female voice seemed to be even stronger than the music brought about by the harp. This was an aria with a deep sense of sorrow. In this world, there was no one who could perform it more perfectly than this female voice.
Amidst the melody, all the young warriors seemed to have forgotten how dangerous the Death Mist Zone was and how scary the vicious beasts were. They were intoxicated by the melody and tears rolled down their cheeks unknowingly.
The crew members who were driving the boat started to sail uncontrollably towards the Death Mist Zone as if they were trying to follow Tang Ling's footsteps.
Amidst the magical melody, even the crew members of the Harvest, including Liszt and Lancaster, could not stay awake.
Even Higan closed her eyes as if she had chosen to fall asleep in the melody. However, she would look at Tang Ling from time to time with sorrow flowing in her eyes.
Only one of them was awake, and that was Samuel.
However, even though he was awake, his expression started to turn heavy and complicated.
"Is this the real top-notch singing voice of the merfolk?" Samuel stood up from Higan's side and walked to the front of the ship.
No one knew better than her how terrifying the merfolk's talent was.
In the ancient legends, it was said that the crew members could not resist the temptation of the merfolk's singing, so they abandoned the ship to the Land of Destruction. In the end, the ship was destroyed and everyone on board died.
People thought it was just a beautiful legend, but it was the truth! The scene before her eyes was a reenactment of the legend, and it was also because the Poseidon family had the same ability. It was the core ability of the Poseidon family, and it was also the reason why the Poseidon family could become the royalty of the sea!
As a matter of fact, the real royalty of the sea should be the merfolk.
If they did not have a fatal weakness, the Poseidon family would never have risen to power. However, the merfolk were evil. It was the ancient motto of the Poseidon family, so why did Tang Ling choose to work with the merfolk?
Even though everyone else at the scene was clueless, the moment Samuel heard the harp, he knew it.
Tang Ling still did not know that Samuel was not bewitched by the song and had seen through everything. He turned around and saw all the ships follow him into the Death Mist Zone without him knowing. He saw how all the vicious beasts looked at him like a pet looking at its owner. He could not help but feel astonished and amazed by the scene.
He jumped down from the cabin and it was at that moment that a figure walked out from the cabin.
She had long, ocean-blue hair and her eyes were as bright and deep as the sea reflecting the starlight. In front of her was a harp with an ancient aura. It looked a little broken, but upon a closer look, one would notice that it was glowing like a treasure. She was singing and her eyes were filled with sorrow that could not be dispelled.
If any of the merfolk were there, they would recognize the girl at first glance. She was one of the Twin Prides of the merfolk, the Dancing Pearl.
The singing did not stop, but a voice came from Tang Ling's conch. "This part of the sea is very dangerous. The Melody of the Slumbering Mist consumes a lot of energy and I have to hold on until I can bring all of you across this part of the sea.
Prepare what I need as soon as possible. "
Tang Ling was impressed by the miraculous mermaid race for being able to talk, but he dared not waste any more time. He went back into the cabin and dragged a big bag out.
The bag was filled with Universal Source Stones. They were stacked neatly.
Tang Ling took a small pile and placed it beside Cai Wu Zhu's feet. Cai Wu Zhu was playing the harp with one hand while her other hand picked up a Universal Source Rock.
The highest grade Universal Source Stone glowed faintly in her hand, but in less than five minutes, it turned into a grayish-white piece of trash. Dancing Pearl then picked up a second one.
"She can eat even more than me!" Tang Ling shook his head and looked around with furrowed brows.
The number of vicious beasts that swam in this part of the sea was much more than Tang Ling had expected. Aside from Level 3 and Level 4 vicious beasts, there were quite a number of Level 5 and Level 6 vicious beasts as well.
She was basically trying to kill all the young geniuses. She was basically trying to destroy the foundation of mankind. Think about it, if the top human powerhouses were to be reduced by half in a decade or two, a lot of things could not be passed down.
If that was the case, would the clansman of Dancing Pearl still be forgiven?
The anxiety in Tang Ling's heart did not go away. It did not get worse, but strangely, there was a trace of uncertainty and panic in the midst of the anxiety. What did it mean?
All the young geniuses started to line up and follow him in an orderly manner. In the end, they were still deep into the Mist of Death.
However, according to Dancing Pearl, none of the young geniuses were conscious during her singing. When her singing stopped, the young geniuses would come back to their senses and they would lose the bewitched memories.
Then, he would have to bear the responsibility of bringing the young geniuses into the Mist of Death by force!
Tang Ling was not a saint. He was just a person who would take responsibility for what he did.
He did not know why he insisted on bringing the young geniuses into the Mist of Death. If he had to give an answer, the only thing he could say was that there was a voice in his heart that told him to do it.
Did the voice come from his mysterious instinct? Was it related to his Precise Instinct? Tang Ling could not answer any of those questions.
He instinctively followed his heart's urge to do so, and unconsciously shouldered the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
Inhaling deeply, Tang Ling picked up the conch shell in his hand. "I know talking to you will increase your burden, but I have to confirm one thing. However, I still need to confirm one thing. Is everything really as you said? The Direbeasts are only gathering at the edge of the Fog of Death and there are no Direbeasts in the core area? "
On top of that, can you really bring the whole fleet through the edge safely? "
"Which year has there been no vicious beasts in the core of the Mist of Death? Only us mermaids know that because you humans only gather the Stamen of the Seven Lotuses at the edge. You humans only gather the Stamen of the Seven Lotuses at the edge. Based on what I know, less than ten people have ever entered the core, so I don't think they will reveal the secret.
"I really don't understand what you humans are thinking.
"But now, please don't disturb me anymore. Let me repeat these things to you. Trust me and provide me with sufficient resources. The mermaid clan has even used the treasure of their race for this matter!
