Chapter 1602: A Fools DreamChapter 1602: A Fool’s Dream
“After the female successfully escaped ashore, the mermaid unfortunately could not leave with her.” Fei Rui continued, “Because once they were on land, the mermaid no longer had an advantage over fighting. Not only was he unable to protect her, it was highly likely that he would be a burden to her as well. He could not let the chance that he had sacrificed so much for her to escape, to go to waste. So the mermaid decided to let the female leave herself, whereas he returned to the sea to hold back the snake beast and fight for a chance to save her partners. Even if only one of her partners could survive and leave, it was still a very precious blessing to her.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGu Mengmeng took notice of this key point – Wang Xiaoxin had agreed to become partners with the mermaid but before they could actualise it, they were separated.
In other words, the mermaid could not make a breakthrough in the restrictions of his level and the highest level he could reach was the third-level.
A third-level orc challenging a demigod snake beast, hah, it would even be an exaggeration to call it a challenge, it was practically suicide. With little shit’s fighting style, a simple sweep of his tail would instantly crush him into fish balls.
“Of course, the mermaid was no match for the snake beast, but he still managed to stop him, because he told the snake beast… He had stolen away the female while the snake beast was not around and only he knew where she was hiding.” Fei Rui turned his head to look at Gu Mengmeng and said, “This lie is very lousy, right? If he had really stolen away the female, why did he return to walk right into the trap? Wouldn’t the normal choice be running away? But probably because the mermaid tribe was usually honest and won’t lie, or because the snake beast was overwhelmed with rage and could not differentiate a lie in an emotional state. In any case, the mermaid’s lie successfully distracted the snake beast into chasing after him. In order to fight for a chance for her partners to escape, he continued to swim deeper into the ocean…”
Indeed, the mermaid had an advantage in speed when underwater, but this advantage would only exist when their capabilities did not differ much.
If little shit was a third-level or fourth-level beast, the mermaid’s strategy would have a likelihood of succeeding.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut little shit was a demigod at that time. With such a great difference in their level, it was sufficient to overcome the advantage that he had as a mermaid.
Moreover, little shit was not an ordinary land beast, it was also considered his territory underwater. It was practically a fool’s dream for the mermaid to want to earn time by swimming faster than little shit.
True enough…
Fei Rui continued his story, “Sadly, the mermaid was caught by the snake beast before he could get far. But the snake beast did not kill him. Instead, the snake beast hung him and the female’s partners on the shore to force her to return. The female did not run too far away and had been hiding nearby the whole time. When she saw her partners and the mermaid caught and in life-danger, she eventually appeared in front of the snake beast.”
Gu Mengmeng had guessed this. Even though Wang Xiaoxin was terrifyingly rational, she was not someone who was so selfish that she would not care about other’s lives, especially when those who were caught were her partners.
Fei Rui stayed silent for a while, then said, “The female ate the black pearl that was covered in the snake beast’s venom and needed the snake beast to give her the antidote every day, otherwise she would be poisoned to death. All this for the exchange of her partners’ safety. The snake beast never locked the female underwater again, and allowed her to stay on land with her partners, except that she needed to return to his side every sunset to obtain the antidote.”
“In order for the snake beast to lower his guards, the female cooperated. Until one day, the mermaid who had returned to the sea to look for the antidote came back…”
