Her body shimmered with seven-colored light, and then her form began to change.
Her once jet-black hair turned into a cascade of seven colors, her ears transformed into gill-like structures, and beautiful, iridescent scales appeared on her skin.
What was even more astonishing was that her lower body had become a massive fish tail.
Cai'er had transformed into a breathtakingly beautiful seven-colored mermaid, leaving Ye Feng utterly stunned.
"Huh? You, you're also from the Merfolk tribe?" Ye Feng exclaimed in surprise after recovering his senses.
Cai'er nodded and asked, "That's right! Now you can tell me how you knew about the Merfolk and the Siren tribes?"
Ye Feng, still in shock for a moment, finally replied, "Alright! I went to the Misty Sea Region, and I encountered the Merfolk and Siren tribes there, so I naturally found out!"
As he spoke, Ye Feng took out some items that the Merfolk tribe had given him when he left, showing them to the two.
Initially, they were a little skeptical, but upon seeing the items, they immediately believed him.
This was because those were things highly cherished and favored by the Merfolk, and only those they considered friends would receive such gifts.
"You really went there? And you met the Merfolk and Siren tribes?" Cai'er said, her face beaming with joy as she looked at the items Ye Feng had produced.
Ye Feng nodded and replied, "Would I lie about something like that? But why didn't I see you there? And I don't remember seeing any seven-colored merfolk like you."
Hearing this, Cai'er finally explained, "We are not from that place!"
"What? You're not from that place? Are there Merfolk in other places?" Ye Feng asked, his voice filled with shock.
Cai'er then proceeded to explain to Ye Feng.
It turned out that in the ancient world, the Merfolk held a humble status among the sea races and were often oppressed and enslaved by other aquatic species.
This suffering of the Merfolk only ended when a human appeared and ruled the seas.
This human was none other than the Sea God!
In gratitude to the Sea God, a portion of the Merfolk chose to follow him.
However, the majority did not follow the Sea God and instead chose to develop independently, thus splitting into two factions.
The faction Ye Feng encountered was naturally the one that followed the Sea God, while Cai'er and her companion belonged to the other faction.
"I see! Are you heading to the Misty Sea Region now to find the Merfolk?" Ye Feng asked.
Cai'er nodded, "That's right! I heard that their branch of the Merfolk has declined, and as a Merfolk ci..."
Cough, cough!
However, Cai'er was suddenly interrupted by a coughing sound from the burly man behind her.
Hearing the man's cough, Cai'er quickly corrected herself, "Ci... citizen, we naturally want to find them and bring them back!"
Ye Feng, though finding it strange, didn't think much of it.
Understanding that they meant no harm, Ye Feng then said, "I see!"
At this moment, the burly man suddenly frowned, as if sensing something, and said, "Miss, the elder of the Giant Crocodile tribe has left! They are heading towards the Misty Sea Region!"
Upon hearing this, Cai'er immediately exclaimed, "Oh no, they're probably going to make a move on the Merfolk! Let's go, we need to follow them quickly!"
Ye Feng hurriedly said, "Wait a moment, it's still quite a distance to the Misty Sea Region. No need to rush. Let's deal with the sea creatures on this island first and rescue those humans!"
Cai'er glanced at the burly man behind her.
The burly man nodded and said, "Alright, let's save these humans first!"
With that, the three of them quickly discussed a plan and then began to act.
There were quite a few sea creatures on this island, but not many powerful ones.
After the elder of the Giant Crocodile tribe left, the strongest on the island was only at the early stage of the Grandmaster realm.
The three of them quickly dealt with all the sea creatures on the island. The Grandmaster-level sea creature was no match for the burly man beside Cai'er and eventually fled into the water.
There were also several ships on the island, left behind by humans who had sided with the sea creatures. After freeing all the captured humans, Ye Feng and his companions took one of the ships and set sail towards the Misty Sea Region.
Time flew by, and a day passed in the blink of an eye.
On the morning of the second day, Ye Feng and his group finally arrived at the Misty Sea Region.
From a distance, they could see the hazy, gray expanse of the Misty Sea Region in the sky.
"Look quickly, there are several ships outside the Misty Sea Region!" Cai'er suddenly pointed towards the area outside the Misty Sea Region.
Ye Feng heard her and turned to look, indeed spotting several large ships there.
"Let's disembark here! If we go any further, we'll definitely be discovered!" Ye Feng mused for a moment and said.
Cai'er replied, "We'll be fine, but can you move in the water?"
Ye Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry! If you're fine, then I'm certainly fine!"
With that, Ye Feng directly turned the ship around, increased the engine power to sail back, and then plunged headfirst into the water.
Seeing this, Cai'er and the burly man exchanged a look and immediately dove in as well.
As they reached underwater and saw Ye Feng moving freely in the water, they were both astonished.
This was because it was unbelievable, completely shattering their perception of humans.
"Alright, stop gawking. Let's go and take a look!" Ye Feng said.
Cai'er and the burly man nodded, and then they swam forward together.
During their swim, the two became increasingly amazed by Ye Feng, as he seemed completely at ease in the water.
In fact, his speed was no less than theirs, giving the impression that the water was Ye Feng's domain. For a moment, they both wondered who the real fish was.
Soon, they reached a spot not far from the Misty Sea Region. Just as Cai'er and the burly man intended to move further, Ye Feng stopped them.
"That's enough, we'll be discovered if we go any further!" Ye Feng said.
Hearing this, the two looked confused and said, "Here? But we can't see anything from here!"
"It's enough that I can see!" Ye Feng smiled.
At this moment, Ye Feng had activated his underwater detection ability, and everything ahead was clearly visible to him.
However, upon hearing this, the two exclaimed in shock, "What? You can see that far?"
Ye Feng chuckled, "Of course, hehe, you just listen to me!"
The two were dumbfounded by his words.
They were currently three to four thousand meters away from the ships ahead. If they were on the surface, they might have been able to see clearly.
But underwater, they couldn't see anything.
And Ye Feng, a human, claimed he could see clearly underwater, which they found hard to believe.
"Is that true? That's three to four thousand meters, you're not fooling us, are you?" Cai'er asked.
Ye Feng smiled and said, "You don't believe me? Then I'll tell you!"
"There are three large ships ahead. The one on the left is crimson, mostly filled with members of the Giant Crocodile tribe! The one on the right is yellowish-brown, filled with creatures resembling scorpions, with a venomous stinger tail hanging from their backs. The one on the right is silvery-white, and everyone on board has long fangs and looks like seals..."
Cai'er frowned, "Could they be the Sea Scorpion tribe and the Sea Leopard tribe?"
"I'll go and check!" the burly man suddenly said, and then with a flash, he swam upwards.
After a short while, he returned, his face filled with shock, saying, "Everything is exactly as he said. He can see so far..."
