Chapter 525 Peeping at Her Little Fish
Meng Qingyin found a huge manta ray.
She quickly swam forward, blocking the manta ray's path.
The manta ray glanced at her, thought she looked strange and didn't seem like something edible, so it turned to swim away.
Meng Qingyin quickly said, "Manta... Madam, have you ever seen a peacock blue bead?" As she spoke, she gestured with her hand, "About this size."
The manta ray was so frightened by her ability to talk that it almost curled up into a ball.
A moment later, it curiously swam up to Meng Qingyin, circled her once, and then asked, "Are you one of our kind? You're so ugly."
It had never seen any of its kind that looked so ugly.
Meng Qingyin's face darkened, and she vaguely admitted, "Yes, I'm looking for a peacock blue bead. Have you seen it?"
The manta ray thought for a while before asking uncertainly, "You mean the blue seashell?"
“It’s not a seashell! It’s a round bead!” Meng Qingyin explained. “It’s peacock blue, very pretty.”
“Oh, I’ve never seen one,” the manta ray said with some regret. “Perhaps you could ask other members of its species.”
Meng Qingyin wanted to ask about other manta rays, but apart from this manta ray, there wasn't a single fish or shrimp to be seen nearby!
Just as she was about to speak, the manta ray swam away quickly.
Meng Qingyin: "..."
Okay, now even the last manta ray is gone.
What should we do now?
She thought for a moment and then opened the information panel.
To everyone's surprise, although the mini-game had ended, her identity information was still there, but it had changed slightly compared to before.
Nickname: Mengmeng
Identity: Shark (Temporary identity, 23:57:01 remaining)
Note 1: It can move around in the entire Sea of Hope, at a depth of 1389 meters.
Note 2: You do not need to breathe again.
The temporary identity is easy to understand; it changes as the task progresses.
This temporary status will be cancelled after 24 hours.
As for the first annotation, it states that one can move freely throughout the entire Sea of Hope, so why is the depth of the seabed specifically marked?
She recalled that the players' initial identities were all goldfish, and they could only move around at a depth of 100 meters underwater.
As the level increases, the range of underwater activities also increases.
After evolving into a shark, it can even roam freely throughout the entire Sea of Hope.
Could it be...?
We're going to dive to the seabed?
Will shark pearls be lost at the bottom of the sea?
Meng Qingyin swam towards the bottom of the sea.
During the dive, we encountered many marine creatures: killer whales, sea turtles, electric eels, starfish, jellyfish...
Meng Qingyin asked them about the mermaid pearl one by one, but all of them gave negative answers; they had never heard of the mermaid pearl.
She had no choice but to continue diving. As the depth increased, the pressure of the seawater grew stronger, but Meng Qingyin felt no pressure at all, as if she had truly become a fish.
It took Meng Qingyin almost an hour to finally descend to the seabed.
Contrary to her expectations of darkness, the place was filled with luminous seaweed, offering a clear view of the entire ocean floor.
The seabed plain stretches for thousands of miles, flat and smooth, with all sorts of strangely shaped small fish foraging among the seaweed.
Meng Qingyin was filled with surprise. This is the seabed?
She swam to a clump of water plants and poked a small, yellow and white fish: "Have you ever seen a kind of blue bead?"
The small yellow and white fish was startled and was about to dart into the water plants when Meng Qingyin gently grabbed its tail. "I mean you no harm, don't be afraid!"
The little yellow and white fish tried to escape but couldn't, so it could only say, "I've never seen anything like this before! Please don't eat me, I don't taste good at all!"
Meng Qingyin sighed helplessly; it seemed that Xiaoyu had mistaken her for a predator.
Unable to get anything out of it, Meng Qingyin had no choice but to let go.
The small yellow and white fish darted into the water plants and disappeared in a flash.
Meng Qingyin had no choice but to ask the other little fish, but those little fish were also very timid and were so frightened by her that they trembled and could not speak properly.
Meng Qingyin thought for a moment, and realized that if one day a fish that was more than ten times her size suddenly started talking, she would also be scared, right?
Meng Qingyin sighed and swam forward, intending to see if there were any other fish.
However, almost all the fish here were the same kind of small yellow and white fish. Meng Qingyin searched for a long time on the seabed but couldn't find a single other fish.
She was somewhat discouraged.
This quest has too few clues, only one picture, it's too difficult.
With only 20 hours left in the mission, Meng Qingyin still couldn't think of any other way.
Suddenly, she realized that she seemed to have been ignoring a problem all along.
Since the pearl is a precious treasure of the mermaid race, it is normal that ordinary small fish and shrimp have never seen it.
perhaps……
She should first find the place where the Merfolk live; perhaps the Merfolk Pearl was stolen by one of them?
Even if that's not the case, the merfolk know more inside information than the small fish and shrimp!
With a new direction, Meng Qingyin cheered up again and glanced at the water plants next to her, where a small fish was secretly watching her.
Just now, all the other little fish were so scared when they saw her that they hid in the water plants, but this little fish, although it hid, still dared to peek at her.
Then, I've decided on you!
With a swift movement, Meng Qingyin arrived at the water plants in the blink of an eye and grabbed the small fish with lightning speed.
The little fish panicked and struggled wildly in her hand: "I didn't peek at you!"
What a brilliant example of admitting guilt without being asked!
Fearing the little fish might hurt her, Meng Qingyin loosened her grip slightly and quickly reassured her, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. I just want to ask you a question: have you ever heard of the Merfolk?"
The little fish immediately stopped struggling, its round eyes looking at her. "Mermaids? I've never heard of them. Since I was born, only our kind have lived here."
Meng Qingyin looked disappointed.
Little Fish thought for a moment and then said, "But I can take you to my great-grandmother."
Meng Qingyin asked, puzzled, "Your great-grandmother?"
The little fish said proudly, "My great-grandmother is the longest-living fish and is very knowledgeable. Maybe she knows about that shark clan."
Meng Qingyin didn't have much hope, but she didn't have a better idea at the moment, so she gently patted Xiaoyu's head and said, "Okay, let's go find your great-grandmother now."
She loosened her grip slightly. "I'm letting go of you now, but don't run away."
The little fish regained its freedom, shook itself, and said, "Come with me."
After saying that, he swam forward, and Meng Qingyin immediately followed.
Soon, Xiaoyu led Meng Qingyin to a clump of unusually lush aquatic plants.
"Wait here for me," the little fish said before disappearing into the water plants.
Meng Qingyin waited patiently, but after nearly three minutes, the little fish still hadn't arrived.
Meng Qingyin suddenly realized that she might not have been fooled by a small fish.
