Chapter 436 - Taking on Danger Alone (2/2)

“Okay.”

Bluepool held onto the bubble and entered the sea. The other mermen also followed after him.

As Bluepool dived in, the light rays got increasingly darker, and the temperature got increasingly lower.

Without the cubs with her this time around, Bai Qingqing felt many times more terrified and anxious to be by herself in the enclosed space.

There were black shadows around them. Although she knew that they were mermen, she suddenly found them eerie and terrifying, as if she had mistakenly entered the site of a horror film.

“Bluepool…”

Bluepool sensed Bai Qingqing’s unease and said gently, “I’m here, don’t be scared. We’ll reach the cave very soon.”

“Mm.”

Bai Qingqing leaned on the side Bluepool was at, touching his palm across the thin barrier. “I have something to tell you later. Can you help me with something?”

Bluepool’s hand shook. The soft feeling in his palm caused his heart to feel itchy and numb.

“You can ask me to do anything,” Bluepool said sincerely.

This promise might not stay after he found out that she wasn’t Jean.

Although Bai Qingqing sounded very confident in front of Parker, she wasn’t feeling confident at all now. It wasn’t as realistic as finding Curtis.

“How’s the search for the snake beastman?”

Bluepool immediately became dispirited, and he said vaguely, “En… we’re still looking. We have also dug up places with looser soil. As long as he’s here, we’ll definitely unearth him.”

Bai Qingqing let out a sigh. Since Bluepool said this, she believed that they’d be able to find Curtis. However, there wasn’t enough time anymore!

They remained silent for the rest of the journey.

Upon arriving at the cave, a merman brought their food over.

There was a pile of seaweed and a small fish that had a semi-translucent body.

Bai Qingqing didn’t even look at it. She took the food and placed it at the side, then said to Bluepool, “I have something I want to talk to you about privately. Can you tell all the other mermen to leave?”
