Bi Ke's Side Story (Part 2)
A portal of light rose from the seabed, attracting several clownfish which gathered around it and darted over to gently touch it.
A hand emerged from the door and pushed aside the unlucky fish that had almost passed through the magic mirror.
This time, Feng Lan came privately. Unlike last time when she entered the instance through the official channels and was given the privilege of becoming a mermaid and being able to breathe, she can now go for a long time without breathing, or even not breathe at all.
"Glug glug..." Bi Ke squatted on Feng Lan's shoulder and took a sip of seawater. He thought it would taste familiar, but upon closer inspection, he found that the seawater here didn't seem to be much different from other places.
Those memories are actually longings that have been lingering for a long time since I've returned.
Bik left Fenglan's shoulder and floated around in the nearby water. Several plump, purplish-black tentacles felt the ripples in the water, and sunlight pierced through the water, falling on the tentacles and bringing a dreamlike, gentle, and false warmth.
After playing in the seawater for a while, Bi Ke listlessly returned to Feng Lan's arm and clung to him. He thought he really didn't care, "...I feel empty inside."
I'm back, but it feels like I'm not. Everything feels so unreal.
Like a dream.
Feng Lan patted Bi Ke, and Hua Hua on his arm gently rubbed him too. She really didn't understand what was so sad about it. "Where should we start looking?"
After all, all three of them knew that Bi Ke's mother should not be in this world, but the clues must be found in this world.
Feng Lan pondered for a moment, then glanced at the unfamiliar sea area with no landmarks. "Let's ask a fish for directions first."
After all, she wasn't quite sure where it would land.
“Octopus Clan…” Feng Lan glanced around, her divine sense sweeping across the sea area. She quickly spotted an octopus, raised her hand to grab it, and the next second, an octopus appeared in front of her.
Unnamed octopus: "!"
what happened? !
Instinctively, she spat out a glob of ink to obscure her vision, while simultaneously changing her color to blend into the seawater in an attempt to struggle and escape.
The ink she spat out, which should have blackened the surrounding seawater, did not disperse as she expected, but instead gathered together to form a black water sphere.
"Do you know what trenches are nearby?" Feng Lan pondered. "The deeper the better. Take us to see them."
"—" The octopus emitted a questioning sound wave, and through the contact sensor on its skin, Feng Lan strangely understood its meaning.
Oh, it's still communicating via neurons, and it's encrypted!
Feng Lan simply grabbed one of the octopus's tentacles with her other hand. Instead of using neurons (which she didn't know how to do), she directly transmitted her thoughts to its brain through her divine sense, which was similar in principle.
This octopus opened its eyes wide and spoke out of thin air, not even through mental power. How did it do that!
Seeing the octopus's wide eyes, Feng Lan's eyes crinkled into a smile. Bi Ke, who was on her body, climbed off her arm and stood arrogantly in front of the octopus, saying, "Lead the way or not?"
Bik displayed his size, and the octopus, sensing his imposing presence, instantly forgot its doubts and nodded sensibly.
带！
The trench that Bik created back then, so many years have passed, and I don't know if the wind and rain have changed. However, it is still very clear that the trench is very deep and dark. Although, if there were any underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions in the middle, it may have become flat land by now.
Led by this octopus, Feng Lan and the other two looked around at all the trenches. She scanned them with her divine sense and knew that it wasn't the one she was looking for.
Feng Lan pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and flipped it over, revealing a lustrous stone in his palm.
Bloodstone: A stone nourished by the blood of [redacted], which, after millions of years, has become an extraordinary entity, containing strange energy.
Have you ever seen this kind of stone before?
What she took out was the stone that had been obtained from this world and imbued with Bik's blood. Because of its high price, many of them had been dug up by Feng Lan at the time, almost emptying out the entire trench. However, she was not sure if any had been missed. If any had been missed, they would definitely be used by people once they were exposed over time due to changes in the earth's crust.
