Chapter 778: Even If We Die, We Must Die Together.
Wabei continued swimming upwards carrying Gu Mengmeng. They could already see people fighting.
Huge currents were churning beneath the ocean surface. The battlegrounds of the ocean tribes was even more savage than that of the wild beasts on land.
Gu Mengmeng struggled to distinguish between friend and foe on the battlegrounds. She finally noticed a head of blond hair and found Fei Rui and Carter. They were being attacked by another ocean tribe. From the looks of it, that person was also a third-level beast. If it was a straight-on battle with Carter alone, it would be difficult to say who would win. But Carter had to keep an eye on Melinda and was inevitably distracted. As a result, he was being attacked from all sides.
Gu Mengmeng quickly swam over and placed herself in front of the siblings to protect them. She faced the enemy’s attack with just a cold smile, not even lifting a finger.
The attacker didn’t appear to hesitate because of Gu Mengmeng’s appearance. His movement didn’t slow down and even seemed to sharpen. He just made an instantaneous slight change in the angle… with the intention of taking Gu Mengmeng’s life.
Nevertheless, before that high, aquiline nose could even come within three steps of Gu Mengmeng, it came to a stop with a grunt.
The attacker frowned and suddenly turned to look behind him. His heart jumped as shock and fear twisted his facial features. Without even the time to shout, he was bitten in half by Wabei.
Blood spread out across the waters like a red spider lily. Strangely alluring, it was breathtakingly beautiful even as it carried the thick aura of death.
Wabei used his tail to flick away the corpse with disdain. He then stared disgusted as the body slowly sank into the depths of the poisonous fog, gradually eroding to nothing.
Cracking his neck to loosen it, he then surveyed the surroundings. That expression… like looking at a sumptuous meal.
“Great Messenger.” Fei Rui gripped Melinda’s hand and pushed her to Gu Mengmeng’s side. “Would the Great Messenger please take care of my sister. If we all die here today, will you please bring her back to Saint Nazaire. She can even partner with a land beast. It doesn’t matter as long as she stays alive.”
With that, Fei Rui’s gaze drifted over to Carter.
Carter pursed his lips but kept quiet.
The opponent had come prepared and targeted Melinda right from the start, forcing him to stay by her side constantly to protect her. He watched helplessly as his own tribesmen get massacred by the enemy.
The Giant Fish Tribe suffered heavy losses. Looking at the current situation, it was questionable whether they could even make it to the end, not to mention whether he could protect Melinda.
He wanted to have her, but more importantly… she must live.
With her beauty and kindness, even the most vulgar land beasts would cherish her.
And if she was in the Messenger of the Beast Deity’s tribe… she would live a good life.
Clenching his fists, Carter slowly stepped forward to welcome the enemy’s attack. It was the awe-inspiring but melancholy look of a warrior who was prepared to die in battle.
But he had just taken one step when he was tightly embraced by the waist.
Melinda was hugging Carter from behind and said nasally, “I won’t leave. I want to be with Carter. Even if we die, we must die together.”
Gu Mengmeng smiled, completely calm even in the midst of this apparent danger. She clapped. “This is like the show ‘Love on the battlefield’. My lonely old man at home loves such romantic films. Seeing as how you are putting on such a good show for my old man, I will give you a present.”
