Chapter 759: Weakling, Have You Come Looking For Another Thrashing?
Gu Mengmeng patted his shoulder. “To save your sister, you must tell me the whole truth. If you hide anything… I cannot help you.”
Fei Rui sighed as all light left his eyes, like storm clouds covering the stars. He frowned and said with guilt and heartache. “The Giant Fish Tribe’s leader, Carter, led a team of his people to our tribe and kidnapped my sister. He claimed that Dora personally admitted that their treasure is in our sister’s hands. They refused to accept our explanations and we can’t beat them… we were helpless as they snatched my sister away…”
The curl on Gu Mengmeng’s lips deepened. She prodded Fei Rui’s head. “Then how did you guys get driven out of your territory?”
Fei Rui frowned and replied with much forbearance. “It was because I kept pestering Carter to return my sister to me. He found me a nuisance and challenged me, saying that he would release my sister if I won. But if I lost, the Mermaid Tribe’s territory would be his. I knew I was no match for him, but… I still agreed. As a result of my stupidity and rash behavior, I implicated my people and my sister.”
Gu Mengmeng patted Fei Rui’s shoulder in a comforting gesture. “Oh, I see now. Alright, we don’t need to wait for that Dora anymore. We will seek out Carter directly.”
Fei Rui looked up at Gu Mengmeng in confusion.
Gu Mengmeng smiled. “We can challenge him right? I will help you defeat him and win back your sister.”
Fei Rui stared at Gu Mengmeng in a daze. “Can… can we do that?”
Gu Mengmeng smiled again. “Why not?”
Fei Rui hesitated a moment. He knew that the consequences of doing so would be just as what the mermaids feared. Once Gu Mengmeng left, the giant fish beasts would counterattack them in revenge, and they… would be helpless.
But even so, he was desperate to rescue his sister.
Just this once. Just let him behave rashly one more time.
He felt that if it was Gu Mengmeng, perhaps they could have more faith!
Paying no heed to the objections of his people, Fei Rui nodded and took hold of Gu Mengmeng’s hand, immediately shooting off like a rocket.
Wabei gave an impatient grunt, but went after them.
The rest of the Mermaid Tribe were all cowed after being defeated by Carter. None of them dared to follow. They just quietly returned to the dark corners of the ocean. Apart from the stream of bubbles, it was as if nothing had happened there.
The mermaids’ original territory was a vast and vibrant coral reef, peaceful and beautiful. It was full of countless aquatic vegetation, too many to name. Forming a symbiotic ecosystem with the coral reef, the territory was a thriving metropolis. Some might even compare it to the palace of the east ocean.
Several giant fish beasts were patrolling the borders of the territory.
They morphed into half-beast form the moment they saw Fei Rui. They looked at him with disdain and called out mockingly. “Weakling, have you come looking for another thrashing? You have already lost your territory, what else could you possibly offer to challenge our leader again?”
Fei Rui clenched his fists and bit down on his lips in silence.
Gu Mengmeng stepped forward with a grin. “Get Carter out to meet me.”
The giant fish beasts sized up Gu Mengmeng with a dazed look…
They had never seen such a gorgeous female. She was beautiful beyond description.
