Since the Dancing Pearl had put it that way, what other reason did Tang Ling have to doubt it?
According to the deal, after the ship entered the Death Mist Zone, it would become the Dancing Pearl's ship and only she was allowed to use it.
As a matter of fact, the merfolk had no need for the Seven Stamen Lotuses. Due to their special talents, it was not difficult for them to collect the Seven Stamen Lotuses during the resource season.
The Dancing Pearl even told Tang Ling that the merfolk had once obtained the Eight Stamen Lotuses.
Tang Ling had no reason to doubt the Dancing Pearl's words because the Dancing Pearl's talent proved that the merfolk could really do it.
However, Tang Ling did not fully believe the Dancing Pearl's words. If the merfolk really had no need for the resources in the mist zone, why would they want his ship? Why would they want to use it alone? Regardless of the excuse, it did not make sense.
However, since they were in a cooperative relationship, if the Dancing Pearl was unwilling to divulge the details, Tang Ling would not press her. He would fulfill his end of the deal.
Quietly, he piled all the Universal Source Stones around the Dancing Pearl and said to the conch in front of his chest, "According to the deal, this ship is yours now. After I move the resources that I need, you can use whatever you want on the ship."
The Dancing Pearl did not say anything else. She nodded to express her agreement.
**
What was the little conch in front of Tang Ling's chest? According to the Dancing Pearl, it was one of the most precious treasures of the merfolk. It was a living creature.
The conditions to raise it were simple. All Tang Ling had to do was feed it some food with energy. Of course, he could also feed it the powder of the Universal Source Stone. It would be more convenient as he only had to feed it four to five times a month.
The conch looked no different from the conch of the old civilization, except for the purple-gold intertwining patterns on its shell. It was a little more special, and it was just a small Level 2 mutated beast.
"How can you understand the mysteriousness and greatness of the ocean? Don't judge a creature by its muscles. In the ocean, the stronger the creature, the more precious it is, and the more special it is. I'm afraid there are less than 10,000 of these Heart Tone Conches in the entire ocean, and I'm talking about the ocean of the Purple Moon era. Do you know how precious they are? "
"The ocean of the Purple Moon era? Do you mean the conches only existed after the Purple Moon era? Or is there something different about the ocean in the Purple Moon era? "
Tang Ling left his warship and returned to the Harvest. Everyone on the Harvest was still mesmerized by the singing of the Dancing Pearls, so they did not react to Tang Ling's return.
As for Samuel, who was previously on the ship, he was nowhere to be seen. Did he return to his own ship?
Tang Ling did not notice the details, nor did he know that Samuel was on the Harvest. He was looking at the Heart Acoustic Shell in his hand as he recalled the conversation he had with the Dancing Pearl.
As a matter of fact, Tang Ling's question was just a casual question, but Cai Wuzhu seemed a little flustered. She did not answer his question directly. After stuttering for a while, she told Tang Ling, "In short, the sea is the merfolk's homeland. The merfolk will always be the first to know what's different about the sea."
What kind of answer was that? However, Tang Ling somehow started to worry. He remembered a rumor that spread throughout the Purple Moon era — the planet was also changing.
How is this planet changing? From a direct point of view, it was easy to understand. If the climate and species of the planet were changing, did it not mean that the planet was changing?
However, from a direct point of view, it meant that the planet itself was changing! How did it change? Did it become round? Did it become square? Did it change its orbit? Did it change its orbit? Or did it change its tilt angle?
Or did it grow bigger?!
Tang Ling frowned as he walked to Higan with the Heart Acoustic Shell. He did not want to think about the planet changing, but he could not forget a piece of news from before. In the north of the planet, a mysterious lake suddenly appeared, and there seemed to be a brand new creature living in the lake.
The mysterious lake incident caused quite a stir for a while, but as other things happened, the popularity of the incident slowly died down. As for what happened to the mysterious lake? Occasionally, people would be curious, but they could not get an answer.
This was the Purple Moon era. The flow of information was only in the hands of the absolute higher-ups. The information rights of the commoners were a far cry from the old civilization, so they could only rely on the newspaper to get information.
After a long time without an answer and with the absolute higher-ups keeping quiet, the incident was forgotten by most people.
Tang Ling squatted down beside Higan. She was still in a deep sleep. Perhaps she was dreaming about something, but her pale face had tear stains that had yet to dry. Even with a thin blanket covering her, Tang Ling could see her body shivering from time to time.
Tang Ling was wondering about the changes to the planet. He suspected that the whole planet had grown bigger, and the speculation made him feel uncomfortable. It was like the interior of his home that he was familiar with. No matter how he adjusted it, the house suddenly changed, and the sense of unfamiliarity and uneasiness would intensify.
He suspected that the planet had grown bigger! His guess had no scientific basis at all. At least, the scientific theories of the old civilization did not prove it. Maybe there was, but it was an extremely slow process, and after the planet grew bigger, everything on the planet would change in a subtle way, such as the increase in gravity.
However, the humans of the Purple Moon era were able to withstand the change in gravity. The sudden change in the climate of the Purple Moon era and …
However, no matter how many guesses he had, looking at Higan's face, Tang Ling could not think further. He reached out and wiped away the tears on Higan's face. He then took the Heart Acoustic Shell from his neck and placed it beside Higan's ears.
According to Caiwu Zhu, the Heart Acoustic Shell could isolate her voice. All she had to do was play it in her ears for 10 seconds to wake her up and she would no longer be bewitched by her voice.
It was magical.
20 seconds later, Higan slowly opened her eyes. She saw Tang Ling looking at her with a kind and heart-wrenching look.
Higan smiled when she saw Tang Ling's reaction. She naturally reached out and grabbed his hand. "I haven't slept enough. Why did you wake me up?"
"No, you're crying even when you're asleep. You must have had a bad dream. " Tang Ling also held Higan's hand tightly and pulled her back, allowing her to lean on his shoulder.
The whole fleet was around two nautical miles into the Dead Mist Zone. It was hard to imagine that the sea under the shroud of the Dead Mist Zone was the ocean.
Wisps of fog blocked most of the sunlight, and for some reason, the entire surface of the sea was emitting a faint fluorescent light. It looked quiet, mysterious, serene, and slightly terrifying.
However, the visibility was not as bad as they thought. It was not as thick as they thought it would be before they entered the Dead Mist Zone. When they got deeper, they realized that the mist was relatively thin and flowing, similar to the morning mist that was half gone.
With the young geniuses' eyesight, they could see within a 20-meter radius.
However, a lot of the heat from the outside was absorbed by the mysterious mist. Therefore, when the fleet sailed in the Dead Mist Zone, coupled with the humid mist, it felt cold and damp.
Given the young geniuses' physiques, it was nothing.
More importantly, the mist could isolate sound.
Here, one could not hear the sound of the wind or the sound of the water. Although the sea was still flowing, and even the sound of the beasts swimming had become very soft, there was always a kind of indescribable mysteriousness in this place.
However, this kind of scenery was also quite unique. If one ignored the strange and terrifying elements, the floating weapons and the sparkling seawater still had a mysterious sense of beauty. Together with the faint sounds of the Dancing Pearls in the mist, one would find it novel if one observed it carefully.
Higan leaned on Tang Ling's shoulder quietly as she curiously watched everything in the Dead Mist Zone.
Tang Ling was like an emotional trigger for her. Only when she was with him would she feel curious, happy, sad, and all sorts of other emotions.
Without Tang Ling, the Death Mist Region would be dull in Higan's eyes.
"What did you dream about?" Tang Ling's voice started to sound a little tired. He took a cigarette out from his pocket and put it in his mouth, but he did not light it up.
"I forgot." Higan thought about it carefully for a while before she shook her head, indicating that she could not remember anything, but …
"I still remember the feeling in the dream. I was in a place, a place that felt very warm, and there were very warm people around me. The warmth was heart-wrenching." Higan's eyes were filled with sadness and reluctance to part ways with Tang Ling.
Tang Ling placed her hand on his chest and asked softly, "Why do you feel heart-wrenching?"
"I don't know. I just have a feeling that I've lost them. Then, I'm alone, alone … "Higan's voice started to choke. It was obvious that she could not continue.
"Ah, you don't have to say it if you don't want to. I'm beside you now. It's real. "Tang Ling finally lit up the cigarette. A trace of exhaustion from the bottom of his soul surrounded him.
However, he forced himself to stay with Higan.
He had heard about what happened to Higan. Although it was not the whole truth, with Tang Ling's intelligence, he was able to deduce what happened based on some clues. He really wanted to listen to Higan tell him how hard it was for her and then say some warm words to her.
However, Higan had no intention of mentioning it, so Kieran decided not to point it out. As long as he expressed something, Higan would be able to understand him. For example, worry, heartache, the urge to say thank you and thank you for your hard work.
"It's not that I don't want to say it, but when I'm alone, I feel like I've returned to that scary place. Every day, every day, I can't see any hope. I don't want to think about it, "she said softly.
Tang Ling turned around and looked deeply into her eyes. The hand that was holding her did not warm up at all.
He picked her up from the chair and hugged her from behind before he carefully covered her with a blanket.
"It must be a very sad experience. I've been waiting for you to tell me about it one day. I won't tell you that it's all in the past. I just want to work hard to forget it with you. " Tang Ling's voice turned heavy. His body felt weak and he wanted to close his eyes at any moment.
Feeling Tang Ling's warmth on her back, Higan finally stopped shivering and was no longer cold. She half-closed her eyes and said softly, "Actually, it's not that scary now that I think about it. There's something in my heart that I don't know about that has been supporting me all this while."
"Something that powerful?" Tang Ling smiled and whispered into her ear, "There's still time. Hmm, there's still a lot of time. I'll listen to everything you tell me in the future, but you have to cherish yourself. But the premise is that you have to cherish yourself. I don't want you to be like this the next time I come back. Even if things get messed up, you don't have to worry about it. "
As he spoke, Tang Ling held her hands from behind. "Because I'm here."
"Hmph, you sound like you're amazing." Higan could not help but chuckle. She wrinkled her nose and looked very cute. She then leaned on Tang Ling's shoulder and said, "Aren't you going to wake them up? There seems to be an amazing girl on the ship up ahead. "
"I'll wake them up later. I want to spend more time with you." Tang Ling's voice sounded a little blurry. He took out an energy serum from his leather pouch and gulped it down.
With the replenishment of energy, Tang Ling felt a little more refreshed, but it was not a solution. His body and brain needed rest. It was not something that could be sustained by pouring energy into his body.
Nevertheless, he could buy himself some time to be with Higan.
"Her name is Cai Wuzhu. Do you know? There are real mermaids in this world … "Tang Ling started to tell Higan about the things that happened after he left the island.
After absorbing the gene medicine and surviving the golden absorption period, Tang Ling went to the owner of the deserted island without further ado.
If he did not replenish his life force, he would not be able to fight.
How he fought with the stingy owner of the island was a long-winded process, but Tang Ling was the owner's only hope. However, Tang Ling was the owner of the deserted island's only hope. On top of that, the fact that Tang Ling had almost completely absorbed the gene medicine shocked the owner of the deserted island.
As a matter of fact, the owner of the island knew that it was impossible for a pre-Purple Moon Warrior to absorb the gene serum. However, Tang Ling was the only person with the Perfect Genetic Chain that the owner of the island had ever seen. The owner of the island deeply believed that Tang Ling should take the gamble.
At least, the owner of the island knew that this resource season was unusual. Tang Ling's current strength might not be enough to handle all the sudden changes.
In the end, not only did Tang Ling win the gamble, but he even achieved an unprecedented 98% absorption rate. It was a shocking achievement.
Even the owner of the island, who was experienced and knowledgeable, had to admit that it was a miracle that could not be replicated.
The miracle might have triggered some bad thoughts in the owner of the island, which was what Tang Ling said. In short, the owner of the island was up to no good and had to make a move.
"But I didn't know that I would consume so much energy. It took me 50 drops of Sea God's Tear to replenish my energy. "Tang Ling's tone sounded a little exaggerated, causing Higan to giggle.
Tang Ling did not tell Higan that there was a little seed among the resources and it was also a huge resource hog. It was not that he purposely hid it, but it would take a long time to tell her about the little seed.
In short, Tang Ling's consumption drove the owner of the island to the brink of exploding. According to the owner of the island, the amount that Tang Ling absorbed was enough to make a Purple Moon Warrior above rank 3 explode. Nothing was better than having too much. When things reached an extreme, they would move in the opposite direction. When it was full, it would overflow. That was the truth!
"It seems like being able to eat is also a kind of talent." Tang Ling was very confident about his ability. He then said to Higan in a distressed tone, "Even so, 50 drops of Sea God's Tear replenished what I lost. I didn't even live longer. I feel like I've suffered a loss. I should have absorbed another 50 drops. "
"Aren't you a bad person?" Higan smiled lazily and pinched Tang Ling's arm.
Tang Ling did not think that he was a bad person. He just felt like he had suffered a loss. Who knew what the owner of the island was up to? What would he have to pay in the future?
Since he had taken advantage of the island, Tang Ling did not plan to leave right away because he had something else to do.
It would be perfect if he did it under the protection of the owner of the island. Given how knowledgeable the owner was, he would be able to give Tang Ling some crucial suggestions.
One thing worth noting was that once a human became a Purple Moon Warrior, they would be granted a longer lifespan. Although the lifespan was not considered long, it was a lot longer than the lifespan of the old civilization.
It meant that humans could learn a lot of things to fill their lifespan. For example, the high-rank Purple Moon Warriors were not only powerful in terms of strength. They would also study other things to strengthen themselves because they had time on their hands.
The lifespan of a vicious beast was even longer. Once the owner of the island reached a certain level of intelligence, he would not be much different from a human, so he must be very good at learning other things.
What did Tang Ling want to accomplish? It would be the formation that he got from Kun. Now that he had the materials, he could complete the second layer of the formation and he even had a lot of materials prepared.
Tang Ling was a diligent person. He had never slacked off in his practice of body arraynology. In his eyes, he would always have the time to squeeze.
Therefore, he was quite confident about the difficulty of the second layer of the formation.
However, if he wanted to complete the third layer of the formation, Tang Ling believed that he would have to learn more about body arraynology. On top of that, he would also need a lot of practice. That was why he did not prepare the third layer of the formation even though he had some source coins with him. He hoped that all the source coins he got this time could be put to good use in the shortest time possible.
As Tang Ling expected, the owner of the island readily agreed to help Tang Ling complete the body arraynology. On top of that, he was also very willing to provide Tang Ling with some crucial experience.
To Tang Ling's surprise, even the owner of the deserted island was envious of the spirit formation. It was a godly feat.
When he found out that Tang Ling's formation came from a dream, he dared not believe it. Based on his experience, Tang Ling was just a Purple Moon Warrior, so how could he get such a good thing from a dream?
Of course, he did not know that Kun was secretly siding with Tang Ling to the point that he even gave Tang Ling a heaven-defying ring.
Of course, Tang Ling believed that he had used the ring perfectly. If other powerhouses knew about it, they would probably strangle him to death.
In the Purple Moon era, it was shameful to be wasteful.
Regardless, Tang Ling's second layer of the spirit energy formation was a success and it started to operate smoothly.
If the first layer of the spirit energy formation provided Tang Ling with his spirit drop by drop every day, then it would slowly increase the strength of his spirit.
As for the second layer of the spirit energy formation, it would provide Tang Ling with a little bit of spirit energy every day. Based on Tang Ling's Precise Instinct, with the double layer of the formation, the speed at which his spirit was provided was 2.5 times faster than before.
Even with Tang Ling's Precise Instinct, it was difficult for him to detect the slightest difference when his spirit energy level increased.
However, with the second layer of the formation, Tang Ling's Precise Instinct could at least tell the difference.
Cultivating one's spirit was something that had to be accumulated over a long period of time. Dripping water could wear away a stone, so he should be satisfied to be able to reach this level.
Although Tang Ling really wanted to experience the other abilities of the formation, the kind that was recorded in the books and the heaven-defying abilities that could be derived after completing a certain level of the formation, Tang Ling did not know how to do it.
"That's too hard." Tang Ling thought about it. Even with his perseverance, he found it hard to complete.
"What happened after that? After you finished everything, you came out from there and saw the Dancing Pearl? "Higan did not forget about it. She was a girl after all, so she still cared about it.
"You can say that, but not exactly." After talking for so long, Tang Ling felt sleepy again. He forced himself to say, "The owner of the deserted island reminded me that a little tail is following me. If I'm not mistaken, it should be a mermaid. "
When Tang Ling heard the news, he was shocked. Did the mermaids really exist? Then, the news that he heard in Tommy Safety Line Inn was definitely not fake news.
Since the owner of the deserted island reminded him, he did not mind telling Tang Ling more. After all, he had been alone for a long time. He thought he was a quiet person, but he was actually a chatterbox.
He told Tang Ling that the unusual phenomenon in the sea was definitely caused by the mermaids. It seemed like the mermaids were divided, and at least, the little tail that followed him did not harbor any malicious intentions towards Tang Ling. He wanted to let Tang Ling understand the situation in detail so that he could make good use of the situation.
Although the owner of the deserted island did not know why the Dancing Pearl was following Tang Ling, he did not know why.
"The mermaids stirred up a storm?" Higan, on the other hand, was a little surprised. She had been reading books day and night (she brought them with her before she went out to sea and Tang Ling got some from the Poseidon family), so she was no stranger to the legend of mermaids.
"Yes, but the truth behind it sounds incomprehensible." Tang Ling shrugged and replied to Higan's question.
