Luo Xiaobai's question piqued Han Fei's curiosity.
That's right!
The two of them must've been bewitched, but they were still picking pearls. Although the frequency of their harvesting had decreased, their behavior did not arouse any suspicions.
However, Han Fei heard their conversation just now! So, Han Fei couldn't help but be suspicious.
At this moment, Han Fei couldn't help but say, "Keep following me. I'll pretend to be someone else and greet them. "
Han Fei thought to himself, I'm really lucky to run into an acquaintance the moment I arrived at the Pearl Divers' Port.
As it happened, there was something wrong with the acquaintance.
And the problem happened to be related to the purpose of his trip.
A moment later …
Han Fei changed his clothes and face and blocked Wang Qian and Liu Ye's way, as if he were searching for something.
Very soon, the two of them had picked pearls all the way here. When they saw Han Fei, they were stunned for a moment and then tried to avoid him. After all, Han Fei's identity as a Slaughterer made them very nervous.
Seeing them, Han Fei's lips curled. Why didn't they use their senses?
If they had sensed him earlier, they would've avoided him sooner. Why did they not avoid him until they were dozens of meters away?
Han Fei couldn't help but ask them telepathically, Hey, have you heard of anyone collecting black pearls around here?
Liu Ye replied, "Sir, I've never heard of it."
Wang Qian was slightly stunned too. Then, he shook his head and said, No!
Han Fei pretended to nod and ignored the two of them, swimming in another direction.
After Han Fei swam thirty kilometers away, Liu Ye and Wang Qian began to speed up.
…
A moment later …
Han Fei returned to Luo Xiaobai and Liu Ye and said clearly, "These two people have been bewitched. If they hadn't activated their senses, I would've thought that they might've been possessed. "
Luo Xiaobai asked, "Are you so sure?"
Han Fei said with a smile, "Very sure. Although they haven't been possessed, they must've been manipulated. If my guess is correct, it must've been Jiang Tong. "
Le Renkuang suggested, "Then why don't we just capture Jiang Tong and ask him? What are we waiting for? "
Zhang Xuanyu scoffed. "Idiot, Jiang Tong is not an idiot. Why would he tell you his secrets? Do you have a fish brain? "
Luo Xiaobai frowned and said, "Something's not right. What a coincidence! We ran into Jiang Tong as soon as we arrived at the Pearl Divers' Port. You happen to know him, and he happens to be related to this purple flame? "
Han Fei scratched his head. "I've thought about that too, but I don't understand."
Luo Xiaobai said, "Be careful anyway. I keep feeling that something is amiss … "
Le Renkuang asked, "Then should we go back?"
Zhang Xuanyu smiled casually and said, "Go back? If the four of us can't even defeat Jiang Tong, then we can forget about finding the secret of the Sea of Pearls. "
Han Fei agreed. "Whether there's a problem or not, let's follow them and take a look. There are tens of millions of mystic realms and countless villains. If we are overcautious and indecisive when encountering something, what's the point of exploring? "
The few of them discussed and continued to follow.
During this time, there were at least a few dozen senses that swept over Liu Ye and Wang Qian. However, the two of them were just pure pearl divers at the moment, so no one felt that they were special.
Han Fei and the others had to be careful all the time. Whenever Han Fei sensed the presence of others, he would pause the tracking. He wouldn't continue until other people passed by.
Han Fei couldn't help but feel that it would've been great if the Hexagon Starfish were here. That guy could've easily led them to follow them.
They followed and stopped for about ten hours. When the moon was high in the sky and the stars were everywhere, many pearl divers had returned to the Pearl Divers' Port.
Liu Ye and Wang Qian suddenly stopped. The two of them simply crouched in the coral reef in a daze.
"Wait …"
Gently, there seemed to be a faintly discernible melody suddenly rippling in this dark sea region.
Han Fei looked at everybody. "Did you hear anything?"
Zhang Xuanyu asked in surprise, "Are you hallucinating?"
Le Renkuang shook his head. "No! It's very quiet. There's no sound at all. "
Luo Xiaobai looked at Han Fei in confusion. "Although I didn't hear anything, those two people seemed to have stopped."
Chila!
BAM! BAM! BAM!
All of a sudden, thousands of purple flames popped up out of nowhere.
Han Fei's face changed greatly. "Not good. It's an ambush!"
The moment the purple flames appeared, Luo Xiaobai had tied their waists with vines in case of any accidents, so that they could be ready for battle at any time.
The purple flames died out in the blink of an eye. An invisible barrier enshrouded Han Fei and the others. Han Fei and the others didn't move at all.
However, when the purple flames were gone, they had left the Sea of Pearls and appeared in an unknown place.
Why were they so sure? It was because they found themselves in an enormous cave. What was visible to the naked eye was that the walls of the cave were full of blue and silver stars, as if they had come to the habitat of fireflies.
It was very humid here, but there was only a little water and air to breathe.
Han Fei even felt that the light here was too dreamy, like the infinite luminous seaweeds in the Ten Thousand Demon Valley.
However, the only color in this place was blue.
In the darkness, there was a kind of breathtaking beauty.
Han Fei asked solemnly, "Do you know how you got here?"
Luo Xiaobai shook her head. "I don't know. It seems to be some sort of teleportation array. Also, perception doesn't work here. I think we've found the secret of the Sea of Pearls … "
Zhang Xuanyu remarked, "It's true that we can't perceive it. However, the scenery here isn't bad. "
Han Fei sneered. "The more beautiful a person is, the greater unknown horrors are often hidden beneath. Also, our journey was too smooth. It seems that someone intentionally lured us here. "
Le Renkuang's face shivered. "Jiang Tong. Didn't you recognize him?"
Luo Xiaobai's eyes were cold. "The blue spots of light around are cocoons. Don't alarm them yet. Let's just walk along the road. After all, the two people just now were also surrounded by the purple flames, but we didn't see them. "
Le Renkuang shivered and said, "I hate bugs the most."
Han Fei said, "Why are you panicking? The bugs aren't a problem, but the secret here is. The pearl divers probably went missing just like that. If we hadn't noticed Jiang Tong's anomaly at the beginning, we wouldn't have suspected anything even if we found the two bewildered guys on the way. "
The cave was winding and not small at all. After walking for about three thousand meters, Han Fei and the others all gasped at a corner.
"Hiss!"
"Gudu!"
Le Renkuang gasped and said, "I don't think I can use the Sky Swallowing Technique here."
Han Fei felt that his blood was freezing. Thousands of corpses were hanging on the ceiling of the cave in front of them. Looking at the commonly-seen broken arms and limbs, everybody knew that they were all pearl divers.
The bodies of these pearl divers were covered in pearls. However, the pearls were emitting a faint blue light, which made them look particularly eerie and terrifying.
Zhang Xuanyu said in a low voice, "So many pearl divers died here? Nobody noticed them at all? "
Luo Xiaobai frowned hard. "That's not right. Some of the bodies are completely dry, and some don't have any flesh. It's obvious that these pearl divers have been accumulating for god knows how many years to accumulate so many pearls. "
Le Renkuang pointed at the two pearl divers at the front and said, "Look, they're the two we followed."
Han Fei and the others naturally noticed them. The two of them were now hanging from the ceiling of the cave, suspended by something that looked like spider silk. Around them were blue-silver pupae that were moving towards the two of them.
Han Fei said casually, "Their spiritual energy has completely dissipated. They're already dead."
Luo Xiaobai said, "It seems that the Sea of Pearls is more dangerous than we thought. Let's keep moving forward. "
Han Fei nodded and glanced at Le Renkuang. "Fat people are meaty. Insects like them."
Le Renkuang rolled his eyes at Han Fei and panicked. He wasn't scared of fighting, but he was scared of the horrifying scenes.
It looked beautiful, but when you saw thousands of corpses hanging on the ceiling, you wouldn't find it beautiful anymore. You would only feel creeped out.
The four of them walked for about ten kilometers before they finally passed the passage where the corpses were hanging.
"Hu!"
Zhang Xuanyu was relieved. "It's quite stressful to have so many people hanging above our heads all the time."
Han Fei said with a casual smile, "Now, there's even greater pressure."
Luo Xiaobai said, "Prepare for battle. The insects are coming."
Around the cave, a large area of blue and silver cocoons began to crack. Droplets of blue liquid dripped out of the pupae.
"Chila!"
When the blue water dripped in midair, it suddenly turned into a bluish-purple flame. Wasn't it exactly the purple fire in the Sea of Pearls?
Le Renkuang shrieked, "Are they insects or flames?"
Han Fei was also thinking. He didn't see any information about the purple fire when he saw it earlier.
At this moment, Han Fei said, "I'll take a look. Don't move."
Luo Xiaobai said, "Be careful."
Han Fei grinned. "Can a few flames and a few insects really turn the world upside down?"
Han Fei strode forward quickly, and seawater floated up from the ground and followed Han Fei.
Han Fei used the Metamorphosis Water and turned it into palm-sized daggers. More and more of them appeared, and in the end, they were densely packed behind him. Whenever he sensed something wrong, he would sweep away the purple fire first.
