MMORPG: Divine Monster Transmuter Chapter 604 - Mermaid

Chapter 604: Mermaid

As he had already reached Peak Grandmaster, all he needed was to push himself a little bit more to reach Grandmaster Lesser Completion level.
Looking at the remaining two-thirds of the Super Enhancing Pill, he gave it a thought and ate the remaining one-third.
The Devil’s Triangle was extremely dangerous. The more power he had, the safer he would be.
After eating another one-third, the pain coming from the meridians and bones in his body twisted his facial expression again.
Slowly, the inner chi within his body began to expand.
Plop!
There was a sound in his body, and he had once again broken through from Peak Grandmaster to Grandmaster Lesser Completion.
After he had successfully broken through, his five senses had become even more sensitive. His night vision could see clearly everything that was happening within 50 meters.
And when he had just broken through, he could sense that many of the marine monsters were heading toward him as soon as the flames from the octopus’s transmutation had disappeared. Or perhaps, it was better to say that they had been attracted by the scent of the Super Enhancing Pill.
“I can’t stay here for long!”
And that was why he was not going to stay until his power level had stabilized. He swam toward one of the nearby undersea trenches instead.
From the message that Qingqiu sent him, he knew that he was not within this area. He was much deeper within.
“Boy, do not proceed any further! You will die!” Just as Jiang Feng was going to leave this area, he could suddenly hear a voice in his ears. It sounded like the words of a woman.
“Tongue of the Beast? There are other marine life forms that have gained intellect?” He looked around in confusion.
But other than the sea monsters that were slowly approaching him, there were not any other monsters that looked like it was intelligent enough or could talk to him.
“To your left. In a clam. You cannot see me. Come in, first!” Just as he was looking around confused, the voice came once again.
He looked to his left, and indeed, around five meters away in the mud was a clamshell, and its shell was slowly being opened up.
He glanced at the sea monsters that were getting closer, he swam toward the shell after giving it a thought.
Five meters was quite close to him. As his arms swung, his body swam into the giant clam.
The clam was around four meters square wide, like the size of a washroom. It could fit in around three or four people at the same time.
There was a beautiful woman within the clam.
A beauty with the tail of a fish instead of a pair of feet.
“A mermaid!” Jiang Feng said in shock when he saw it.
“Yes, all of you humans call me by that name,” The mermaid said as she let out a faint smile.
“So, there are mermaids in this world!”
To Jiang Feng, mermaids only existed within legends and fairy tales. It was the first time that he had seen a real mermaid.
He stared at the mermaid in front of him and asked her with confusion in his voice, “Why are you helping me? And why did you say that I’ll die if I go deeper down?”
The mermaid explained to Jiang Feng very patiently and said, “The reason that I am helping you is because of that pill that you had just transmuted. The reason that I am not letting you proceed further down is that there are many more sea monsters at the depths of the sea trenches. A battle had just occurred there, so it is best for you not to descend any further. It is too dangerous.”
“No, I have to go. If the only reason you are helping me is because of that pill, then thank you. Now, open the shell and let me out!” When he heard that a battle had just happened down there, Jiang Feng insisted on going.
If there was a battle, the one fighting in that fight must be Qingqiu. That meant that Qingqiu was not dead, and that was why he had to go down there.
“Alright. If you must go, bring me with you. I can forgo the pill, but if there is any hope of survival, please take me away from this place!” When the mermaid saw that Jiang Feng was not going to budge, she then pleaded to him.
“Is the ocean not your home? Why do you want to leave?” Jiang Feng asked with uncertainty.
“I do not belong to this world!” The mermaid said.
“What do you mean?!”
‘Not belong to this world? Does that mean she’s from another world?’ It was something that Jiang Feng found quite nonsensical.
T/L Note: You literally brought a Green Dragon and a White Tiger from the game world, how can you find that hard to believe?!
‘A mermaid from another world… How did she come here? And why?’
“What I mean is that I do not belong to this world. Of course, it is just a feeling of mine. As from which world, or if there is another world, I am not sure. All I know is that once I appeared within this ocean, many of my memories have become but a blur. I have even forgotten who I am!” The mermaid said.
Jiang Feng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that it was just a hunch of hers. He then thought to himself, ‘She must have made a mistake. If she’s really from another world, then that is nothing to joke about.”
“I can help you if you want me to help you leave this place. But I need your help first!”
“What is it?”
“Guide me into the trenches. I have to find my companion, otherwise, I am unable to bring you along safely when I leave!”
“Alright!”
After he had discussed with the mermaid, only then did he realize that she could control the clamshell.
Next, the clam was like a spaceship as it spun toward the trench, gliding along the ocean.
And it was quite strange, to be honest.
When the clam passed through the school of sea monsters, they were not attacked. Instead, they opened up a path for them.
Jiang Feng could not see outside as he sat in the clam, and so he closed his eyes and felt the flowing water around the clam to pinpoint his location.
Boom!
After diving for another thousand meters downward, the shell suddenly shook as if they were attacked.
“What happened?” Jiang Feng asked the mermaid curiously.
The mermaid then said to Jiang Feng, “There are plenty of monster corpses in this place. Do you wish to transmute them?”
“Are there any other monsters around here?” Jiang Feng asked.
“Not for now.”
“Alright, let me out!”
…
Then, the clam was opened and Jiang Feng swam out.
After he swam out and had a good look at his surroundings, he could feel his stomach churning and he almost vomited after getting a better view of it.
This area of the ocean was filled with heaps of corpses of all sorts of marine life forms.
Some of them had some flesh left after being gorged by something. Some of them had been completely shredded apart.
And that was why the nearby waters were all red from the blood.
“I should transmute them first. Perhaps I can use the super Enhancing Pills to break through to Grandmaster Greater Completion. If I can find Qingqiu, perhaps I can even help him break through to the Abyssal Realm from Grandmaster Greater Completion!”
When he thought of that, Jiang Feng did not hesitate as he swam toward a nearby corpse and began to transmute it.
Whoosh!
Next, a blazing fire began to spread across the corpse. Even the seawater could not douse the flames of transmutation.
…
There was another trench nearby where Jiang Feng was. At the depths of this trench, there were plenty of decayed ships, bones, and sea monsters.
In a dilapidated ship that was covered with rust, Qingqiu suddenly opened his eyes and awoke from his rest. He looked at the Sea Wyrm outside the ship.
At this moment, a group of sea monsters was surrounding the Sea Wyrm, roaring at it.
If he was a mere human, he would not be able to discern what the sea monsters were roaring about. However, Qingiu was a ruler of the ocean, and he naturally could understand what they were saying!
‘There is fire in the layer above? Human? Can it be… Boss?!’ When Qingqiu thought of that, his facial expression turned into shock. However, he felt warmth in his heart. He could not even being to say how touched he was.
