Feng Sang was about to speak, when Feng Wu shook her head. She then said to Feng Xun in a serious tone, “It’s true. There’s no fish in this sea.”
Feng Xun was rendered speechless.
Xuan Yi was speechless.
So was Jun Linyun.
Feng Xun said, “So…”
“There’s nothing large either, only shrimps, crabs, and shellfish.” Feng Wu heaved a sigh. “They’re neither too small nor too big, but do you remember what the ghost king said?”
All eyes were on Feng Wu.
She said, “I now see what he meant when he said that the sea dragon only ate shellfish without the shell. The shell is heavy, and without it, the flesh inside only weighs so little.”
“250,000 kg?” Dugu Yamo looked like she was about to cry. “How are we ever going to make up that amount?!”
She counted with her fingers. “We can hold our breaths longer than normal people, but not indefinitely. We can go without breathing for three minutes at most, but how many things can we catch in that time?”
Dugu Yamo removed a sack from her back and poured out the crabs and shellfish inside. It was true. There was no fish at all.
Everyone fell silent when they saw this.
Dugu Yamo shook her head at Feng Wu. “It’s an impossible task. We can’t do it…”
Feng Sang was almost crying. “If there’s hope, we’ll do our best, but the problem is… How are we going to find 250,000 kg of shellfish flesh in 15 minutes?!”
Feng Yiran looked up at the sky. “We worked so hard to come from the first floor to the third one… The ghost king is doing this on purpose! How are we going to find so much food?”
They had to take a breath every three minutes. How much food could they fit into those sacks in 15 minutes?
Jun Linyun scratched his head. “There has to be a way, right?”
Feng Yiran said, “No, there isn’t. Your Royal Highness, we have no hope left. Do you have any suggestions?”
Jun Linyun didn’t know what to say, because he couldn’t think of anything.
Feng Xun said, “Too bad that we aren’t of the water attribute. If we can go in with you guys, it’ll be a lot faster.”
Feng Wu smiled and opened her right hand. “Have you forgotten about this?”
Everyone looked at her hand.
A pearl the size of a pigeon’s egg lay there, and it was glowing brightly.
“The Water Dragon Ball!” Jun Linyun cried out.
Feng Wu nodded. “This is what I borrowed from the sea dragon. Let’s see what it can do.”
Feng Wu injected her spiritual essence into the Water Dragon Ball. Immediately, it shone even brighter.
Feng Wu yelled, “Part the sea for me!”
With that, the Water Dragon Ball created a gust of wind, which was aimed at the sea surface.
The wind was like a sharp blade, which split the sea open.
“Part!”
Feng Wu bellowed.
With that, the wind sank into the sea and pushed the seawater to either side.
