Chapter 779: The Endless Ocean (3)
Yun Feng chuckled. “Speaking of which, I’m very surprised. The merfolk should be a noble branch of the sea demons. There should be very few merfolk. Logically, it’s impossible for them not to know that an egg was lost.”
“But it’s been so long and they never did anything. It’s indeed strange.”
“That’s right. I was wondering if something happened to the Endless Ocean and it’s related to the merfolk and the sea demons?” Yun Feng frowned slightly. This thought had stayed in her mind for a long time. She should have an answer when she went to the Endless Ocean this time.
“The merfolk hate humans. Don’t interfere with their business.” Qu Lanyi looked at Yun Feng solemnly. Yun Feng was stunned. “Am I such a busybody?”
Qu Lanyi sighed. “You’re not a busybody, but what if Yaoyao is involved?”
Yaoyao raised her head and glanced at Yun Feng at this moment. Yun Feng’s black eyes darkened. “If that’s the case, I certainly can’t stand by and do nothing.”
Qu Lanyi looked like he had known that Yun Feng would answer like this. He touched Yun Feng’s head with her hand. “Never mind. I’ll stay with you if anything happens.”
The Endless Ocean was located in the west of the West Continent. Yun Feng and the others went all the way west and soon arrived at the westernmost area of the Ancestral Forest Hall. Since the three halls on the West Continent were arranged vertically, they could reach the Endless Ocean from any hall. It could be said that the Endless Ocean and the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range sandwiched the West Continent between them.
The westernmost part of the Ancestral Forest Hall, which was closer to the edge of the Endless Ocean, was less populated. There were almost no residents on the coast of the Endless Ocean. Yun Feng and the others continued west and finally found a small fishing village. This village was rooted on the coast of the Endless Ocean. It wasn’t large and every family was doing seafood business. Yun Feng and the others landed a distance away from the village. Lan Yi and Little Fire followed Yun Feng in human form.
“Master, why don’t you just go there?” Little Fire asked in confusion. Yun Feng smiled. “The Endless Ocean is extremely dangerous. Humans are definitely not welcome there. If I go in recklessly, I’ll probably be hunted down in a while.”
“Then why are we here…” Little Fire looked around in confusion. Yun Feng walked forward, and Qu Lanyi turned around and said, “They live here, so they certainly know the Endless Ocean better than others. We must be fully prepared before we enter this sea.”
Little Fire grunted and turned its head aside. It didn’t like this man! As they walked into the village, the people in the village all looked over curiously. Yun Feng didn’t care about them. After a few steps, an old man walked over from afar.
“You’re outsiders?” The elder sized up Yun Feng and the others and looked at Meatball on Little Fire’s head with deep meaning in his eyes.
“Sir, sorry for disturbing you.” Yun Feng spoke politely with a smile on her little face. The few of them gave people a very good feeling and they were all handsome people. The vigilance of the elder was slightly reduced. “What are you doing here?”
Yun Feng smiled. “Since you live here, you must know the Endless Ocean very well.”
The old man’s expression changed drastically after hearing that. “Why are you asking this?”
Yun Feng knew that the old man must know something. “Sir, is there anything you can tell us?”
“I don’t know anything! Leave quickly!” The old man waved his hand and asked them to leave. Little Fire was so angry that it wanted to attack, but Lan Yi stopped it and asked it to calm down. Qu Lanyi smiled. “Sir, it’s your freedom if you don’t tell us, but it’s our freedom if we want to leave or not.”
“You…” The old man glared at Qu Lanyi. Qu Lanyi said, “We just want to know about the Endless Ocean. We don’t have any other intention. You don’t have to be vigilant against us. If we want to, it’s useless no matter how vigilant you are.”
The old man gasped. Yun Feng raised the corners of her mouth helplessly. “Old man, we don’t have any other purpose and we won’t cause you any trouble.”
The old man knew that Yun Feng and the others weren’t easy to deal with, but their attitude was indeed not very arrogant and they also looked polite. The old man thought for a while and finally gave in. “Follow me. After knowing what you want to know, leave as soon as possible!”
“Of course.” Yun Feng nodded. The few of them followed the old man into the village. Along the way, they attracted countless curious gazes. Many people pointed at Meatball. Little Fire followed on the side with a sullen face. Its sharp teeth flashed from time to time, emitting light.
The few of them followed the old man into a room. After they sat down, the old man said, “Tell me. What do you want to know?”
“Sir, I think every family makes a living by fishing. Do you catch fish from the Endless Ocean?”
The old man sneered after hearing that. “This isn’t the Endless Ocean. The area within a hundred meters of the shore is called the shore area. This is an area where humans can live. The area outside the shore area is the area of the Endless Ocean. The seawater will change from blue to black, like a boundary. Once humans step into the black area, they’ll be killed!”
Black seawater? Yun Feng frowned. So that was the case. There was a shore area where humans could live, but it was only a hundred meters long. The extremely vast sea on that side belonged to the Endless Ocean. Once humans stepped in, they would indeed be killed. It seemed that the Magic Beasts in the Endless Ocean really hated humans.
“Why? Do you want to step into the Endless Ocean?” The old man glanced at Yun Feng and the others suspiciously. Yun Feng smiled. “That’s the plan, but after hearing what you said, I don’t think we should break in.”
