Fu Ling's thoughts turned out to be foreshadowing because when be found Chaos, the person was already half dead.
He lay unconscious with his tail wedged between a few rocks. Fu Ling gently lifted his tail from the cracks and noticed it was bleeding profusely.
His heart skipped a beat and he placed a finger under the merman's nose. Fu Ling couldn't feel any air coming out of Chao's nose and frantically placed his hand on his chest but there was no movement.
Where he couldn't see, the pendant hidden under his shirt glowed slightly the moment his hand made contact with the merman's chest.
Fu Ling shook his hand a few times and placed it back on Chao's chest. This time there was no mistake. He felt the faint but unmistakable heartbeat and almost collapsed from joy.
