Chapter 246 A Long-Awaited Sunbathing
“That’s right, the Mermaid King is absolutely right. We can send people to observe the movement of the black mist and the giant beast on the sea at night, and then formulate a detailed plan!” the Merfolk chieftain replied.
"Let our sea serpent clan go. We sea serpents are good at stealth and can observe the outside world without leaving the surface, so we're a good fit!"
The chieftain of the sea serpent clan followed closely behind, saying that this kind of observation was more suitable for them.
Upon hearing this, the other sea creatures in the banquet hall also began to talk about what their respective tribes were good at.
The atmosphere was incredibly lively. Inside the banquet hall, two children, Ao Yu and Ellie, watched the adults chattering excitedly about how to fight monsters, and their hearts filled with excitement.
"Father, I, I, I can also help fight that giant beast!" Ao Yu raised his hand and shouted loudly.
Upon hearing his youngest son's words, the Dragon King couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. If it were just ordinary prey, it would be good to let Ao Yu practice his skills.
But this time they were facing an unknown behemoth and a pitch-black fog, so he was not comfortable letting his youngest son go with him.
"Your father is pleased that you have this intention, but this time is different. You are still young, and the origins of the enemies who have come this time are still unknown. So you should stay in the city and wait for us to return, understand?"
Hearing this, Ao Yu pouted, his face full of reluctance, but he dared not disobey his father's order, so he could only mutter softly:
"Hmph! I'm not a kid anymore, I can definitely be of help, but you never include me."
The Dragon King looked at Ao Yu, who was clearly unwilling, and felt somewhat helpless, but still said with a stern face:
"Ao Yu, this is no joke. We can't say we're completely confident. If things go wrong, we'll have a good way to retreat."
But what if we take you with us, and you get snatched by the giant beast in the blink of an eye? We can't find where that beast lives, so finding you will be a problem.
So staying in the city obediently is the biggest help you can give us! It'll also keep Ellie company.
Ellie: ""
Fortunately, she didn't speak up, otherwise she would have been the one being lectured. Looking at Ao Yu who had been scolded, Ellie felt relieved, but nodded in agreement.
"Yes, that's right, Uncle Ao is right. Ao Yu, you have to listen to Uncle Ao obediently and not cause them any trouble. We'll just stay in the city and wait for them to come back!"
Ao Yu: ""
This little hindsight expert, if he hadn't just seen her eager expression, he would almost have believed it himself.
Hmph! I was the one who led the charge, and this guy is dragging me down! It's infuriating!
Forget it! As expected, the uncles in the clan were right. In this world, the most unreasonable people are indeed dragon mothers and mermaids.
Reluctantly, he could only nod helplessly: "Alright then, I won't go with you! But you all must come back safely!"
"Alright, alright, don't worry!" The Dragon King smiled and patted his head, assuring him that he had calmed down.
While everyone was engaged in heated discussion, Gu Xinyan and the others, who had been forgotten, exchanged helpless glances. Had these sea creatures simply forgotten about them?
They're still quite useful, after all, they've faced giant beasts head-on and have a lot of experience to share.
Seeing their intense discussion, and the fact that they seemed ready to leave immediately after finishing, Gu Xinyan and the others felt embarrassed and quickly spoke up:
"Well, even if you're on the shore at night, don't worry. If you can't beat them, you can hide inside the protective shield of our shop. That giant beast can't break through the shield."
Why don't we all go up there together tonight? It'll be a good opportunity to get a close look at what a giant beast is! What do you say?
The sea creatures, engaged in a heated discussion:
The moment that sound rang out, the room fell silent. What had they just heard? Reaching the shore? A protective shield? Or a protective shield that even the giant beast couldn't break?
As a result, all the sea creatures turned their gazes to Gu Xinyan and her companions, their eyes brimming with doubt and curiosity.
"Look at me, I almost forgot. Boss Gu, you guys actually drove the giant beast back then. So, as Boss Gu said, let's all go up and meet this giant beast tonight!"
After a moment of stunned silence, the Mermaid King suddenly remembered what the group had said when he first met them.
He had been living such a comfortable life that he almost forgot about it. Now that Boss Gu and his group had joined them, they could finally openly confront this monstrous beast that couldn't see the light of day.
All the sea creatures present were filled with curiosity, so they did not object and instead looked forward to the night.
It was just past lunchtime, and there was still some time before dark, but everyone was getting impatient.
So after discussing it, we decided to set off early, since waiting on the shore would be the same anyway.
And so, the vast sea creatures, upon seeing the shops in the square, vanished instantly.
Then they reappeared on the shore, which made the group of sea creatures who had never seen the world widen their eyes in astonishment.
Ao Yu and Ellie were brought along this time. As long as the two of them stay within the protective barrier, it's fine. Otherwise, these two little ones will definitely cause a ruckus.
When they came ashore, the sun had not yet set. Upon seeing the long-awaited sun, Gu Xinyan decisively took out her deck chair from her backpack.
Then I comfortably lay down on the chair and basked in the sun, feeling like I would get moldy if I didn't get some sun.
Lu Yunting and his companions did the same, lying in a row to enjoy the sun, while the various sea creatures went shopping.
After all, they hadn't even had a chance to explore this magical shop since arriving in the underwater city, so they could take advantage of this free time to do so.
As a result, the once quiet coastline became lively, and this liveliness continued until nightfall.
As night approached, everyone enjoyed a barbecue buffet, and each person ate with gusto.
With a satisfied look on his face, he patted his bulging little belly and obediently squatted at the entrance of the store.
They didn't dare go far, since it was already dark, and if nothing unexpected happened, the black fog would be arriving soon.
As they had expected, just as everyone finished thinking, without any warning, the sky suddenly darkened.
Outside of their area, it was pitch black, completely black, so black that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
