Fortunately, she was also unharmed, merely having fainted, with no serious injuries.
Ye Feng had intended to wake her immediately, but at the next second, he suddenly abandoned the thought.
Because the area now contained both a Flood Dragon and the Deep Sea Vampire Eel King, it would be difficult to explain things if she woke up. Therefore, letting her remain unconscious wasn't a bad thing.
"Vampire Eel King, which way is it inside the Misty Sea?" Ye Feng asked.
The Deep Sea Vampire Eel King was the ruler of this place and should be very familiar with the conditions, locations, and environment.
As expected, it soon pointed them in the direction.
"Very good! We need to pass through this misty zone! Enter the interior, lead the way!" Ye Feng said.
Thus, Ye Feng, holding Ai Xi, sat on Xiao Hei, and under the guidance of the Vampire Eel King, they proceeded towards the interior of the Misty Sea.
They traveled for about ten thousand meters within the mist before finally passing through the Misty Sea.
What greeted their eyes were vast islands, or rather, land formed by the merging of numerous islands.
Ye Feng, standing at the edge of the mist, looked at this scene with immense shock.
Because it was so beautiful inside, with bright sunshine, fragrant flowers, and birdsong, stretching as far as the eye could see.
"I never imagined that within this mist lay such a world, akin to a paradise!" Ye Feng exclaimed in surprise.
After observing for a while, Ye Feng decided to go ashore first.
And so, Ye Feng, with Ai Xi, quietly made his way onto the island.
Upon reaching the island, Ye Feng immediately instructed the Vampire Eel King to return to the mist and to be summoned when needed.
Xiao Hei reverted to its small snake form, but instead of entering the spatial spirit ring, it coiled around Ye Feng's cuff, observing this world.
Once on the island, Ye Feng promptly woke Ai Xi up.
When Ai Xi awoke, she looked around confusedly, her face etched with worry, and said, "Am I dead? Is this heaven or hell!"
Ye Feng, standing beside her, chuckled and replied, "What do you think?"
Ai Xi answered earnestly, "I think it's so beautiful here, it must be heaven!"
"Heaven my foot!"
Ye Feng rolled his eyes at her. This troublesome woman truly thought she had died.
At this moment, Ai Xi turned to look at Ye Feng and was startled. She then grabbed Ye Feng and exclaimed, "Ye Feng? You, why are you here too? Could it be that you're dead as well?"
Ye Feng was truly speechless. He flicked her forehead forcefully and said, "Dead your head! Neither of us is dead! We've already entered the world within the misty zone!"
Ye Feng's flick was not light, causing her to cry out in pain.
"Ah! It hurts! We're really not dead?" Ai Xi exclaimed in surprise and delight.
"Shhh!"
At this moment, Ye Feng seemed to have spotted something and quickly made a shushing gesture.
Ai Xi, hearing this, asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Ye Feng pointed in a direction ahead and said, "Look quickly, there seems to be someone over there!"
Ai Xi hurriedly looked up. Indeed, in the water a few hundred meters away, there were two or three figures.
They were seen holding fish and various seafood, swimming rapidly towards the shore ahead.
"Huh? Could it be those Mermen again?" Ai Xi said nervously.
Ye Feng shook his head, "I don't know, let's hide and observe!"
Just then, the three people landed.
However, the scene that followed left Ye Feng and Ai Xi incredulous.
Because the upper bodies of the three looked normal, but their lower bodies were not human.
You heard correctly, the three people in front had human upper bodies, but their lower bodies were entirely fish tails.
"What, what is this?" Ai Xi said, utterly shocked.
Ye Feng spoke, "Human heads and fish bodies, could they be the legendary mermaids?"
Mermaids, these were beings similar to Mermen.
Legends described mermaids as being divided at the waist, with most having the upper body of beautiful women and the lower body of a beautiful fish tail covered in scales.
They could transform their fish tails into legs and vice versa, adapting to both aquatic and land environments, which was quite magical.
"Mermaids? My goodness, do such things truly exist?" Ai Xi was astonished.
Ye Feng replied, "You've already seen Mermen, so it's not strange for mermaids to appear!"
Ai Xi nodded, "That's true! But seeing such creatures for the first time, it's naturally surprising!"
As Ye Feng and Ai Xi were talking, the three landed. Immediately, their fish tails began to change, and in a short while, they transformed into a pair of legs.
Now, they looked like three human women. If they hadn't seen their fish tails earlier, one wouldn't be able to tell the difference between them and humans.
While Ye Feng and Ai Xi were conversing, the merfolk changed into legs and immediately walked forward with their catch.
Seeing this, Ye Feng said, "Let's go, follow them and see!"
"Okay!"
And so, Ye Feng and Ai Xi quietly followed behind them.
However, after walking for a short while, five ugly figures suddenly emerged from ahead, startling the three merfolk into screaming and retreating.
These five figures had ferocious faces, their entire bodies covered in dark gray scales, with sharp claws and tails.
Ye Feng and Ai Xi recognized them as Mermen at once.
Seeing the five Mermen, the three mermaids intended to turn and flee, but they were quickly surrounded and trapped by the five.
"Merman tribe, you, you're not keeping your promise and intruding into our mermaid territory, what do you want?" Among the three mermaids, an older woman shielded the other two and spoke sternly.
However, one of the Mermen sneered, "Heh heh, what do we want? We, the Merman tribe, are catching you mermaids, what else could we want?"
"Do you three want to surrender meekly? Or do you want us five to make a move? It would be a shame to injure your tender skin if we do!"
"Exactly! I advise you to obediently come with us!"
Hearing their words, the three mermaids immediately became angry, "You wish! We advise you to leave quickly. This is our territory, and once discovered by our mermaid tribe, you'll be finished!"
However, the Merman sneered, "Haha! Who are you trying to scare! We've already investigated, and people rarely come here under normal circumstances!"
"Exactly! Moreover, our Merman tribe is about to hold a human sacrifice today, and your mermaid tribe's attention has already been diverted. No one will discover us here!"
"Stop wasting time with them! Let's act!"
With that, the five Mermen men lunged directly at the three mermaid women.
Seeing this, the three from the mermaid tribe could only brace themselves and resist.
The older mermaid woman was quite formidable; fighting three of them, she was only at a slight disadvantage.
However, the other two mermaid women were not as capable. Even facing just one Merman man, they were no match.
Seeing this, Ye Feng muttered softly, "Since the Merman tribe and the mermaid tribe are opposing forces, the enemy of my enemy is my friend! We should step in and help them!"
Ai Xi nodded, "That makes sense! You go help the older one, and I'll help the two younger mermaid women!"
"Alright! Let's go!"
With that, the two of them charged out directly...
