Chapter 843

What the Sea Emperor and Melissa said in the end, nobody knew.

Gu Ding only saw Fu Tu transform back into Melissa and leave.

After Melissa left, the Sea Emperor had always been in a state of few words, and whenever he asked about Melissa, he would use all sorts of excuses to dodge the questions.

Seeing that Neptune was unwilling to tell him, Gu Ding did not ask further.

Not long after Melissa left, the communication system returned to normal. When Lilliath and the others received Neptune's message, they immediately dialed the communicator number to inquire. Neptune only replied with a "It's fine". In the end, it was Gu Ding who came forward to say that he was with Neptune and Mi Ke 'er. Only then did everyone relax a little.

After a day's journey, the ruins also entered the night, and the sky began to darken.

The ruins were more active at night. The undead creatures were like fish in water at night, and their combat power was also greatly increased.

Seeing that Neptune was not in the right state, Gu Ding decided to stop and let everyone rest for the night.

The Sea Emperor started a bonfire on his own and stared blankly at the flickering flames.

Gu Ding lay on the sand not far away, his hands on his head as he looked up at the starry sky.

"Brother Gu Ding, what's wrong with Neptune?" Mi Ke 'o suddenly walked over and sat down not far away from Gu Ding. Clearly, even the invisible Mi Ke 'er could sense the change in the Ocean Emperor.

"It's fine. He just needs some time to calm down." He glanced in the direction of Neptune. Neptune was still staring at the fire in a daze, as if he did not hear the conversation between the two of them.

"You've worked hard today. Have a good rest. We'll set off tomorrow morning. With that wraith around, the other wraiths won't dare to come near here. You can rest assured and have a good night's sleep, "Gu Ding said as he reached out and rubbed Miko's head.

With the Vengeful Spirit's protection, the other Undead creatures had all fled to other places. The entire area was exceptionally quiet. In this environment, Miko and Gu Ding quickly fell asleep.

The Sea Emperor sat by the fire until it burned out. Only then did he look up at the sky.

Above the sky, the stars shone brightly, competing with each other for brilliance.

"The stars in the sky … are all Origin Energy Crystals?!" The Sea Emperor was shocked to discover something. "The arrangement of these stars seems to follow some kind of rule … It's like a huge array …"

"Spell formation … Mist … and he even chose a burial ground filled with Undead creatures … What is Heinoas planning?" Neptune had a feeling that the ruins were hiding some unspeakable secrets, but he was unable to unravel the mystery at the moment.

The next morning, Gu Ding woke up to the smell of breakfast. Out of habit, he thought that Biggie had rushed over, but when he looked in the direction of the breakfast, he saw that it was Neptune who had prepared it.

Not only the breakfast, but even the tables and chairs were all set up.

Gu Ding knew that Neptune had gotten over what happened yesterday. Although he did not know what Melissa had said to the Ocean Emperor, the most important thing was that the Ocean Emperor was fine.

"Come and have breakfast. After that, we'll continue our journey!" Neptune waved at Gu Ding and Mi Coco.

At the dining table, Gu Ding and Mi Ke Ke could not stop praising Neptune's cooking.

As a matter of fact, Neptune had only followed the recipe that Biggie had collected. Every step was done according to the recipe. The ratio of seasonings and the time they were left on the shelf were exactly the same. The taste of the dishes made this way was basically no different from the original taste of the dishes.

After breakfast, Neptune projected the map of the ruins. He pointed to a black area and said, "I'm going to see what's hidden in this foggy area. Many places in the ruins are strange. These foggy areas should be the key to decrypting it. "

"It's too dangerous to explore the foggy area directly. The ruins are only open for six months. I think it's better to increase my strength first and explore the foggy area in the last month." Mi Ke Ke gave a different opinion this time.

"I know that, so I plan to go alone." Neptune nodded.

"No, it's too dangerous to move alone. With your strength, you have to proceed cautiously even if you don't have the ability to explore foggy areas. The foggy area was obviously a more dangerous place, and it could shield one's detection ability. If one were to barge in and encounter someone who was stronger than a fourth-rank Heavenly God, it would be a huge threat to one. As for encountering sixth-rank and above, it's almost certain death … "

"Don't worry, I'm just doing a preliminary exploration of the periphery to figure out what exactly is blocking my detection. If there's really danger, I'll retreat in time, "Neptune explained.

"It still won't work! If you want to go, let's go together. Not only will Mikko and I go with you, but we'll also bring Biggie. "Gu Ding immediately rejected Neptune's proposal. "With me and Biggie around, at least if we encounter anyone below seventh-rank, we can handle them."

"I can't let you take the risk." Neptune shook his head. "Mi Ke 'er is right. Now is not the time to explore the foggy area. In the next six months, there is still a possibility that our combat power will increase by quite a bit. The correct decision was to wait for everyone's combat power to increase before exploring. My exploration this time is a private matter. Rather than going in with me, it would be better for you to stay outside and hunt some undead to improve your strength. "

"Although now is not the best time to explore the foggy area, I know that you must have your reasons for being so eager to explore the foggy area. As for what the reason is, it doesn't matter to us. Since you've made up your mind, we'll respect your decision and help you achieve your goal. That's what partners should do. "

Mi Ke did not raise any more objections because she knew that Neptune must have his reasons for making such a decision. As a partner, she should stand behind him and support him.

"Mi Ke 'er is right. The strength of a team is far greater than that of an individual. If we go with you, your chances of success will be much higher." Gu Ding nodded in agreement. "I'll inform Biggie and ask him to come as soon as possible."

"Thank you …" Neptune hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he agreed to let Gu Ding and the others go with him because he knew that even if he did not agree, Gu Ding and the others would still follow him into the foggy area.

"Since everyone has decided to go together, I'll call another person. She should be able to help us a lot," Neptune continued.

"Who?" Gu Ding asked in surprise. He did not expect Neptune to have friends in the ruins.

"Melissa!"
