CHAPTER 325: CHAPTER 191: STEEL BONES UPGRADE, RETURN!

"Thank you, thank you!!"

On the island’s beach, Mermaid Fannie was immensely grateful, her eyes teary, as she repeatedly thanked Chen Feng along with her companions.

The surrounding crew members had complex expressions, some blushing slightly as they admired the mermaids’ stunning faces and graceful bodies.

"Ke Ao, what’s making you blush, huh!"

The helmsman laughed heartily while the other crew members smiled.

Lei Long stood by thoughtfully, having somewhat understood why the mermaids were captured.

Such exquisite appearance, combined with that melodious voice, is truly a divine gift.

The high nobles of those kingdoms have some eccentric tastes.

Chen Feng had similar thoughts, but his eyes were extraordinarily calm and straightforward.

"No need to thank me, it’s just our transaction."

He specifically reminded, and Mermaid Fannie was momentarily stunned before nodding quickly.

"I’ll go get it for you right away."

Speaking, she intended to dive into the sea with the other mermaids.

But soon, Lei Long stepped forward and stopped them.

"You can go alone."

Upon hearing this, Mermaid Fannie hesitated, and the other mermaids were puzzled and asked.

"Did you promise them the Blue Heart Stone?"

Upon learning the content of the transaction, the mermaids’ faces changed, and the joy of escaping diminished greatly.

Chen Feng sensed something was off, and the next second saw a mature-looking brown-haired mermaid beginning to explain.

"Dear Benefactor, the Blue Heart Stone is indeed at the bottom of our Mermaid Bay, not far from our territory."

"But it is very dangerous there, with underwater hurricanes present. It’s difficult to enter and search; it’s only possible to pick it up by luck, relying on the power of ocean tides."

Everything returned to the starting point, with the mermaid named Fannie avoiding eye contact guiltily, hiding behind the other and not daring to look at Chen Feng again.

The atmosphere turned cold, and Lei Long dared not interrupt.

Chen Feng slightly frowned.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, the waves surged, revealing spray-like fountains.

Several figures appeared, along with giant crabs several meters in size with huge pincers, and male youth mermaids holding spears.

Additionally, two yellow-brown seahorses dragged a coral-made chariot, with a powerful female mermaid seated on it.

In an instant, Lei Long and the others turned pale and quickly went on alert.

But in the next moment.

"Dear sir, Fannie was reckless, please forgive her."

"I am Elder Della of the Mermaid Clan... The Blue Heart Stone, we have it ready."

The mermaid resembled a middle-aged woman with a goldfish-like tail, wearing a long dress with yellow patterns and ribbons fluttering in the wind.

If not for the fish tail, people might have thought she was human.

"Elder Della!"

Fannie cried and shouted, wanting to step forward to hug and complain.

Lei Long and others intended to stop her, but then saw a long-haired mermaid man from the group walking up, holding an exquisite box made of coral.

The box opened, revealing ten fist-sized Blue Heart Stones inside.

Chen Feng’s perception confirmed it, and he nodded slightly, allowing Fannie and the other mermaids to leave.

"Elder Della, I’m sorry!"

"I shouldn’t have led Sister Susi and others to run around! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!"

Fannie stepped forward, hugging the mermaid on the chariot, and burst into tears like a child.

Her cries, like her songs, were filled with some mysterious power, invisibly affecting the surrounding crew members, whose eyes reddened slightly.

Chen Feng sensed something and gazed deeply at Fannie’s back before locking eyes with Elder Della.

Through perception, he could sense the opponent’s aura should be at the Fifth Order.

But at the moment, her face was pale and somewhat weak, as if suffering from some injury.

"Blame me, for returning late from the Fishman Clan."

"Otherwise, I wouldn’t have let you be so miserable."

Mermaid Elder Della lightly coughed and seemed unwell.

Only then did the other mermaids notice the anomaly and hurriedly inquired.

Della Elder shook her head but did not answer.

Instead, she looked at Chen Feng and saw him approaching slowly.

"May I be taken to see the underwater place of the Blue Heart Stone?"

He was curious about the true source of this advanced metal. If he could obtain a vein, wouldn’t his Steel Bone Talent soar rapidly and upgrade consecutively?

"This...."

Elder Della hesitated for a moment, and Chen Feng noticed her concerns.

Without pressure, he waited silently.

The atmosphere was silent for several seconds before she finally nodded.

"Alright, sir, please follow me."

She nodded in agreement, and the mermaids behind her opened their mouths but didn’t say anything more.

"Mr. Feng Chen?"

"You wait for me nearby." Chen Feng instructed Lei Long and the others, deciding to take a look underwater.

After all, he was a Physique Master and could hold his breath for hours underwater without much problem.

Only combat had some limitations.

However, with the Holy Shield Giant in place, he didn’t have to worry too much about summoning it at crucial moments to leave.

"Fannie, lead the benefactor, sir."

Elder Della looked deeply at Chen Feng before instructing.

Fannie wiped away the tears with the edge of her eye, nodded with a soft "Oh," and then walked to Chen Feng’s side, timidly extending her pale hand.

"The underwater visibility is poor, and there are many currents..."

Unpretentious, Chen Feng understood the meaning.

Holding her hand, they descended together into the depths of the sea.

Lei Long and the others watched him leave, contemplated for a moment, and hid in a corner of the island’s shadow.

.....

.....

Whoosh!

The sound of water flowed in their ears, and a current like a water arrow streaked past his side.

The bottom of the sea was dark and enveloped by pressure and the feeling of being surrounded by seawater.
