Gu Shi and Henry returned to the town on the Sea Dew Crystal Shell.
The next day, Gu Shi did not go to the rally again. Instead, he brought the jar of purple pearls he received as a gift yesterday and came to a remote place outside the town. He planned to test the power of the pearls here.
After holding the staff in his hand, Gu Shi carefully took out the lightest pearl from the jar, and then threw it hard onto the ground in front of him.
With a bang, the pearl exploded on the ground, raising a cloud of light purple smoke.
Gu Shi was standing upwind, so the smoke did not blow towards him, and he did not want to try the power of the smoke himself.
Gu Shi raised his staff, and a strong wind blew the smoke away. He looked at the place where the pearl exploded, and sure enough, there was a small hole about the size of a palm left on the ground.
Then, Gu Shi took out pearls of other colors to try, and he was quite satisfied with the explosive power of these pearls.
Although it may not cause any damage most of the time, it doesn't matter. What Gu Shi is interested in is the smoke it brings up. These pearls are very suitable for disrupting the enemy's vision.
Especially when facing a group, as long as you master the timing of use, you can bring considerable chaos to the enemy.
After the test, Gu Shi put away the remaining five pearls and planned to pack them individually in thin plastic bags when he returned, otherwise it would be a bit troublesome to use them.
When fighting with the enemy, the opponent will not wait for you to take out the jar from the space ring and then take out the pearl from it.
In the next few days, Gu Shi stayed in the town preparing for his upcoming trip.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day he and the mermaid youth had agreed to deliver the goods, and Gu Shi arrived at the mermaid youth's stall on time.
Seeing Gu Shi appear, the mermaid youth first greeted him, assigned the tasks at hand to other people, and then took Gu Shi aside.
An apologetic look appeared on the young mermaid's face, and he said to Gu Shi, "I'm so sorry, I may have to trouble you to wait a little longer.
Today's business was unexpectedly good, and we sold out all the pearls we had prepared. We had no choice but to temporarily divert some of the pearls."
"I've already instructed others to get the missing parts, but it will take some time. If you're in a hurry, I can take you to Pearl Cliff and wait there. I'll ensure you get the goods as soon as possible."
If you are interested, I can also take you to visit the exploding pearl cultivation area."
Gu Shi didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise on this trip.
Because of the pointer, Gu Shi originally had the idea of going to Pearl Cliff to investigate the situation. However, that place was the territory of the mermaids, and he had already prepared to sneak in secretly. He did not expect that he would now have the opportunity to enter there openly.
Gu Shi smiled and said, "Since you've said that, I won't be polite. To be honest, I've always been very curious about Pearl Cliff, and I didn't expect to be able to go in and explore it myself."
The young mermaid laughed when he heard what Gu Shi said, "Then come over here with me."
From the previous transaction, the mermaid youth knew that Gu Shi was not short of money, and from his behavior and conversation, he was most likely from an aristocratic family.
They were in the wrong in this matter, and the mermaid youth did not want to make enemies with such an ignorant guest, so he took the initiative to offer to take Gu Shi to visit Pearl Cliff.
As far as he knew, humans from outsiders like this were generally curious about Pearl Cliff, and sure enough, the human in front of him was one of them.
The mermaid youth took Gu Shi away from the gathering and swam towards Pearl Cliff, with Henry following behind them.
When they were still some distance away from the cliff, the young mermaid stopped and said, "It's right up ahead. I'll take you there, but I'll have to ask the other person to wait here first."
Gu Shi turned to look at Henry, "Then please wait for me here for a while, Henry."
Henry nodded, "Yes, sir."
Gu Shi continued to move forward with the mermaid youth, and soon they arrived at the edge of the cliff.
Gu Shi lowered his head and looked down, and saw colorful underwater plants growing on the rugged cliffs. They were like dancing ribbons, swaying gracefully in the sea water.
Beside these underwater plants, there are many mermaids busy working. They flexibly shuttle between large and small shells, taking out the pearls inside one by one.
The young mermaid beside him stretched out his arm towards Gu Shi, "Come, there are ocean currents passing by this cliff from time to time, it's safer if you hold on to me."
Gu Shi obediently reached out and held the mermaid's arm. Given his swimming skills, there was a high possibility that he would be swept away by the ocean current if he was not careful.
After confirming that Gu Shila was stable, the mermaid youth took him to the area where the explosive purple pearls were cultivated.
Because the impact of this pearl explosion is quite large, their breeding area is divided into more remote places. Therefore, the further they move forward, the fewer mermaids there are around.
While the mermaid youth was leading him forward, Gu Shi took out the pointer and took a look. He saw that the dark red pointer on it was still swinging.
Gu Shi sighed in disappointment. It seemed that this was not the place he was looking for. If he wanted to find out the secret of this pointer, he had to continue going north.
Who knew that when he was about to put the pointer back into the space ring, the pointer suddenly vibrated inexplicably.
Gu Shi was stunned for a moment. After confirming that it was not his illusion, he held the pointer tightly in his hand and lowered his head to carefully observe its changes.
At this moment, a strong stream of water came from nowhere and hit Gu Shi directly from behind.
Gu Shi, who was completely unprepared for this sudden attack, subconsciously tightened his grip on the mermaid youth's arm, and the two defenseless people were swept into the sudden ocean current.
After being swept into the ocean current, Gu Shi felt dizzy and the constantly rising white foam made him subconsciously hold his breath.
Gu Shi's first reaction was to try to stabilize his body, but unfortunately he was holding the pointer in one hand and holding the mermaid youth with the other hand, so he had no extra hands to stabilize himself and could only let his body sway continuously in the turbulent water.
The young mermaid beside him did not sit still and wait for death. Unlike Gu Shi, after being surprised, as a mermaid, he quickly adapted to the strong water flow.
He did not panic, but calmly observed the surrounding environment, trying to find a chance to escape.
The mermaid youth grabbed Gu Shi's wrist and swam with him to the edge of the water.
Unfortunately, all his efforts were in vain. No matter which direction he tried to break through, he failed. It was as if a mysterious force had trapped the two of them firmly in this stream of water.
