The journey back seemed to take less time than the journey there, but Fu Wan's mood was much heavier than before.
Everything in the world has its lifespan coming to an end, and even though she knew this, she still felt somewhat sad.
The old sea turtle had helped her a lot, and even on its deathbed, it was thinking of having the Blooming Flower lead it to see her one last time.
Although she didn't know what the blood-red pearl in her hand was, she had a feeling that the old sea turtle couldn't possibly have given her an ordinary pearl.
The two turtles and one person swam for an unknown amount of time. Fu Wan didn't need to scout ahead; she simply followed Fu Gui and Hua Kai, swimming forward without stopping.
Finally, after passing through a long, dark passageway, Fu Wan saw the light of the exit. As soon as she swam out of the rocky cave, the baby killer whale suddenly charged at her.
"My dear baby, you actually waited for me here?"
Fu Wan stroked its head, and seeing her sea companions, she couldn't help but suppress the sadness in her heart.
The baby orca nuzzled Fu Wan's hand with its large head, then eagerly tried to carry her away from the dark place. Orcas are lively creatures, and they wouldn't like coming to such gloomy places if it weren't for Fu Wan's sake.
Fu Wan also realized the little orca's intention. She immediately grabbed the little orca's dorsal fin and strode over. The little orca made a whimpering sound and was about to swim forward with all its might when Fu Wan realized that there were two big guys in her arms.
Fugui and Huakai rushed to stop in front of Fu Wan, clearly wanting a ride—or rather, a ride-sharing whale.
Fine, let's go together then. After all, the speed of the little orca is faster than ten Blooming Fortune Flowers.
And so, with two sea turtles in her arms and a baby killer whale beneath her, Fu Wan left the dark sea. The baby killer whale was very fast, and after about ten minutes, it stopped again.
What's wrong?
Fu Wan looked ahead with some surprise, and then she immediately understood.
About ten meters ahead, there were dozens of manta rays hunting their prey. You know, manta rays are the little killer whale's favorite food. With so much delicious food in front of it, it would be a miracle if it could even move!
"Go and hunt!"
Fu Wan patted the baby orca's back, then opened the hibiscus flower in her arms. At the same time, she quickly got down and drew the dagger she was carrying.
If she wasn't mistaken, there were quite a few purple sea urchins in the gaps between the coral reefs, each one looking bigger than the last. Since the 'Wealthy Flowers' were blooming right there, she thought she'd open a couple to treat the young couple.
Having spent so much time with Fu Wan, the little orca naturally understood her meaning. The moment Fu Wan stepped off its back, it suddenly charged towards the manta rays that hadn't yet reacted. Seeing the manta rays scattering in all directions, Fu Wan couldn't help but feel sorry for them.
Well, the only reason we can blame them is that they taste so delicious that the baby killer whale is so fond of them.
Seeing that the baby killer whales had already started eating, Fu Wan waved to the stunned Hua Kai Fu Gui, signaling them to come with her.
The coral reef's ecosystem was quite good, with sea urchins densely packed among the rocks. Fu Wan casually picked one up, then took a dagger and ran it around the sea urchin, before inserting the tip of the dagger into the sea urchin and prying it open. The sea urchin immediately split in two.
These sea urchins were indeed very plump, with thick, bright yellow sea urchin meat inside.
Upon smelling the fresh aroma of sea urchins, Fu Gui and Hua Kai buried their heads in the sea urchin shells before Fu Wan could even call out to them.
Delicious, delicious!
One sea urchin wasn't even enough to fill the gaps between the two sea turtles' teeth, so Fu Wan quickly opened three more.
Fu Wan simply forgot that not only does Fu Gui Hua Kai like to eat sea urchins, but there are also many fish and shrimp of all sizes in the sea that enjoy this sweet taste.
In an instant, the fish and shrimp that had been hiding because they were frightened by the baby killer whale were now tempted by the delicious taste of the sea urchin and came out. Some of the bolder ones even swam over and competed with Fu Gui for food with Fu Wan.
There was also a particularly large Napoleon wrasse, which Fu Wan estimated to weigh at least 100 pounds. It slowly swam over, pushed aside the smaller fish, and put its thick lips into the sea urchin bowl. When it lifted it out, the sea urchin bowl was empty, with not a single piece of meat left.
Finally, it stared at Fu Wan with its big eyes, as if to say, "Why are you so slow, you two-legged beast? Didn't you see that I finished eating my sea urchin?"
Fu Wan was speechless at its self-righteous gaze. It was only because she didn't have her tools with her at the moment and was still grieving after seeing off the old sea turtle that she would definitely have caught this Su Mei and taken it home!
Let it know how terrifying two-legged creatures are!
Oh well, the old sea turtle just passed away, so I'll just hold a funeral for it and let all the neighbors have a feast!
Thinking this, Fu Wan opened the sea urchins faster.
With a swift stroke, she sliced the sea urchin in two without even circling it.
As more and more sea urchins were opened, more and more fish surrounded Fu Wan.
In about fifteen minutes, after Fu Wan finished opening the last sea urchin, she looked up and was surprised to find a shark slowly swimming towards her not far away.
She was startled and immediately got up, quickly hiding behind a nearby rock.
Holy crap, how did we attract sharks too?
Sharks are indeed sharks; they exude an aura as they swim. The fish that had gathered together to eat sea urchins scattered and fled, leaving only the 'Wealthy Flower' behind.
Sharks don't eat sea turtles, so Fuguihua glanced at the shark, then calmly lowered her head and continued eating.
As the shark drew closer, Fu Wan realized that something was strange about it.
She initially thought it was a great white shark, but when the shark swam over, Fu Wan was surprised to find that its tail fin was not symmetrical. The upper tail fin of this creature was very long, nearly a meter long.
It appears to be a thresher shark.
Thresher sharks are a type of shark with very long tails, generally more than half the length of their entire body. Unlike great white sharks, thresher sharks are not as ferocious. They typically prey on small schools of fish such as sardines and mackerel. They also don't hunt alone like great white sharks; thresher sharks prefer to hunt in groups, surrounding schools of fish and then striking the water with their tails until the fish are stunned before enjoying their meal.

However, it is a shark after all. From its teeth to its tail, the thresher shark can be used as a weapon when attacking. Fu Wan only had the dagger she carried with her at the moment, and she did not intend to go out and fight the thresher shark.
After waiting for several minutes, Fu Wan lay down on the edge of the reef and looked towards the thresher shark. What she saw almost made her break out in a cold sweat. The thresher shark seemed to have noticed Fu Wan's presence and was swimming towards her.
Just as Fu Wan was about to run away, the thresher shark suddenly changed direction and ran away at top speed.
Fu Wan was a little surprised to see this. The next second, the little killer whale appeared in Fu Wan's line of sight with a manta ray in its mouth. Fu Wan couldn't help but laugh. No wonder the thresher shark ran so fast. It turned out that Sang Biao had come!
