Qian Bingning, however, remained composed, staying quietly on the Two-Worlds Rotation Platform with his pet beast.
Mingxi looked down and indeed saw a familiar mermaid surface from the water, which had risen five or six meters high.
She suddenly let out a long breath.
Now she could put 99% of her worries aside.
Golden Yuanbao, the four who had news, were still missing, but the three missing individuals were found first.
However, she felt that Black Pearl looked a little different from before.
Because of the distance, she couldn't help but quietly put on her goggles and take a look.
It really was different!
Its appearance had changed.
If the original Black Pearl still had a hint of gentleness and delicacy, then the current one was a thoroughbred, top-tier predator.
Perhaps influenced by the Ghost-type, its body still didn't follow the evolutionary principle of male mermaids to grow larger; it only grew slightly taller.
But its body clearly became stronger and more robust, every inch of muscle conveying its power and explosiveness.
The contours of its entire face also became more three-dimensional and profound, and its black hair seemed to exist in its own realm, giving a sense of being untouchable and unreachable.
Sharp, knife-like fins grew from its back and arms.
Including its ears and the caudal fin of its fish tail, all were adorned with glistening, full, moon-white pearls.
Like a mermaid's tears.
The black jade beads on its right arm training also increased from one to three, clearly indicating that its energy crystal skill had also upgraded.
So, Black Pearl had completed its evolution?
But didn't its evolution require it to be in the sea?
Could it be because Bright Crystal broke this space, allowing seawater to pour in?
Although Mingxi was thinking a lot, she didn't forget to call out to Black Pearl below.
Black Pearl's hearing was naturally perfectly fine, and upon hearing Mingxi's voice, it quickly looked up.
A pure and gentle smile immediately appeared on its handsome and cold face.
"As!"
It excitedly wagged its fish tail, like a little puppy seeing its owner.
Alright, no matter how handsome, how ferocious, how much like Poseidon, her Fish Baby was still a simple-minded fish.
Others are beautiful despite their flaws, but its smile ruins its aura.
Mingxi always felt that it would cause trouble if left alone, so she quickly shouted, "Come up quickly."
Among all the encounters today, everything else was fine, but her throat was really suffering.
She'd have to ask Emerald Green to get some Golden Throat Lozenges later.
Black Pearl, however, did not heed her call. The smile on its face receded, replaced by a serious expression.
It looked back at the water below, then at her.
After a brief moment of hesitation, it shook its head in her direction, then buried its head and plunged into the seawater.
Hey! Hey! Hey!
My good baby, how could you abandon your master and leave?
"Guwo."
Hehehe.
Mingxi: "..."
Bright Crystal's laughter was full of schadenfreude.
It seemed that it was still quite bothered by being left alone on the sea-eroded cliff.
She'd have to give it some good psychological counseling later; this little ferocious beast was trapped for eight hundred years, and what it feared most was actually loneliness.
This separation indeed made it sad.
"Black Pearl probably encountered some trouble; we need to go down and help it." frёeωebɳovel.com
Although Black Pearl was brave, it never went against her wishes, yet just now it ignored her call and left without even an explanation.
There must have been something it absolutely had to do.
"Luo."
"Guwo."
Little Silver Flower and Bright Crystal had no objections; they were both the type who wished for chaos to reign, and at this moment, they were already eager to try.
So Mingxi looked at Qian Bingning.
"Senior, I need to go down, and it's not convenient to keep taking you with me. The central island is temporarily safe."
"I understand, Junior, please be careful!"
Qian Bingning also understood Mingxi's concerns. He was already very grateful that she had protected him and his pet beast all this time, so he naturally wouldn't ask for anything else.
The one person and four beasts nimbly jumped off the Two-Worlds Rotation Platform.
Mingxi glanced at the water curtain cave in the sky again, thought for a moment, and then said, "This place will be completely submerged soon, and this Tomb complex is very strange. If Senior has a way, it's best to leave here as soon as possible."
Thinking of Lippert's reaction, Mingxi always felt that something very bad was about to happen to this Tomb complex.
Before, they had no way to leave, but now that Bright Crystal had broken the 'sky', they had an exit if they wanted to leave.
Qian Bingning frowned; none of his pet beasts were water-attribute, and all the supplies on him were found in the Mystic Ground, so he had no diving equipment at all.
Therefore, Mingxi's suggestion truly stumped him.
It seemed he couldn't get out.
Mingxi also thought of this, hesitating whether to expose the fact that she had a space that could bring things from the outside in.
Actually, it wasn't impossible; she could attribute the space function to Twelve Qiluo or the star god scepter.
Anyway, besides herself, no one knew what functions they had.
"Guwo."
At this moment, Bright Crystal, who was lying on Mingxi's head, suddenly stretched out its small hand towards Qian Bingning, and in its palm lay a smooth bead.
Mingxi and Qian Bingning were both stunned for a moment.
"Senior Bing Ning, this is a danqi bead. Holding it will allow you to breathe freely in water. Bai Yujing said... *cough*... it's lent to you."
Mingxi translated for Qian Bingning.
Actually, Bright Crystal said, 'I'll rent it to you, and the rent is all your worldly possessions.'
Unexpectedly, Bright Crystal was actually a business genius—no, a business devil.
It was even more ruthless than her.
She didn't know where it learned this; it used to be quite protective of its food, but definitely not this ruthless.
Qian Bingning pretended that his pet beast hadn't translated Gu Guai Zhen Guan's words to him, and very calmly accepted the danqi bead, thanking solemnly: "Thank you, Bai Yujing, and thank you, Junior."
He wasn't reluctant to part with all his possessions, but rather with his and his cousin's lives.
"Gu--"
Bright Crystal was grabbed by Mingxi and had its mouth covered.
I know you're a business devil.
So, please temporarily put away your divine powers.
"Goodbye, Senior, take care, Senior!"
Say no more.
Mingxi simply put away the Two-Worlds Rotation Platform, hugged Bright Crystal, let Little Silver Flower grasp her shoulder, and leaped down directly.
Little Silver Flower spread its wings, gliding down with her, and released its claws from Mingxi's shoulder when they were about a hundred meters from the ground.
Little Silver Flower certainly didn't do it on purpose, but the Tomb complex had anti-flight and energy-draining rules within a hundred-meter radius (excluding the Tomb complex it had stayed in itself).
It would be affected once it got close, so Mingxi told it to wait in the air.
Mingxi immediately fell like a large weight, which was also why Mingxi didn't use the Two-Worlds Rotation Platform.
The Two-Worlds Rotation Platform, as a rule-based item, was also subject to rule-based skill restrictions.
Therefore, anti-flight and /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ energy-draining could both affect it, which was why Mingxi didn't use the Two-Worlds Rotation Platform to travel in Mi Gu Desert.
