Chapter 774

: She Is Backed By Someone Up There Now, Okay?!
On the third morning, after spending two days to regroup themselves, Fei Rui and Carter each led their tribesmen to the beach to welcome Gu Mengmeng into the Forbidden Abyss.
It was a grander occasion compared to the first time she entered the ocean.
Gu Mengmeng was nestled within Wabei’s curled tail and felt like an empress being led to the palace by a mystical beast.
Even though this mystical beast looked like a piece of shit soaked in water.
But she bore it stoically. After all, there was a huge crowd of fish following behind her, which looked rather awe-inspiring.
Elvis and Lea wanted to follow too, but was rejected by Gu Mengmeng.
The Mermaid Tribe’s bubbles would allow them to breathe underwater, but if anything happened and the bubble burst—they would definitely die in such deep waters.
In addition, even if nothing happened to the bubble, the underwater pressure was also a life-threatening issue. It would be a great strain on beasts who have been living on land all along.
Why was Gu Mengmeng alright then?
What a silly question. She possessed Snake’s Beast King powers, as well as the Kiss of the Beast Deity bestowed by a lonely father for his dear daughter. Of course she was fine.
As they approached the Forbidden Abyss, Gu Mengmeng realized why Fei Rui said the Messenger of the Beast Deity needed to come here personally.
The area was dense with poison even though there was good water circulation. It was as if venom was being continuously emitted from the depths of the abyss, forming a thick cloud of poison which even the great ocean could not dissipate.
Fei Rui and company could not swim any nearer. They looked as if they were suffocating and Gu Mengmeng didn’t wish to make things difficult for them. Hence, she ordered them to back away. Wabei and her could continue the journey themselves.
Fei Rui was worried but knew that with his abilities, he might just mess things up if he insisted. Hence, he instructed Gu Mengmeng to not force things, and to immediately turn back if anything was amiss. They would think of another solution then.
Gu Mengmeng gave a
don’t worry
gesture, and asked them to move back further, so that they wouldn’t be affected by the poison.
Fei Rui and Carter said they would wait for her at the entrance.
Gu Mengmeng didn’t protest but just led Wabei into the deep darkness.
Gu Mengmeng had inherited Snake’s night vision abilities, so her fear of the dark had become negligible.
But the absolute darkness paired with the complete silence gave her a chilling sense of unease.
The abyss in the deep ocean was limitless. Gu Mengmeng instinctively held Wabei’s hand, to which he commented snidely.
Do you know how strong your grip is? If you break my arm, I can’t help you when we meet with any danger.

It must be said that Wabei’s sarcastic words had effectively dispelled Gu Mengmeng’s fear.
But it was true. She was the most powerful being in the entire Beast World. If she met with any danger, she could just lay low and unleash her beast pressure.
And if it was some bizarre monster…
Didn’t she still have that lonely old man as backup?
Damn, she is backed by someone up there now, okay?! She was, after all, a right and proper second generation immortal.
Because of Snake’s Tear of the Beast Deity, Gu Mengmeng’s body was immune to all types of venom. Nothing in this world was more poisonous than her blood. Fighting poison with poison—of course the weaker one would perish.
But Wabei obviously did not hold such capabilities. The deeper they went, the thicker the poisonous fog became. Wabei was starting to fade a little.
Gu Mengmeng didn’t want to drag Wabei down with her and asked him to turn back and wait for her with Fei Rui and the rest.
But Wabei said,
If I desert you now, I will never be able to look in him the eye for the rest of my life.
