As she neared the tribe's settlement, Munina suddenly caught a strong scent of blood.

The surrounding seawater exuded an unsettling agitation.

Countless ferocious sharks were patrolling the perimeter, as if they sensed a perfect feast.

Munina's heart was pounding.

Although her relationship with her father was indifferent, he was her father after all, and she was naturally concerned about his and her tribesmen's safety.

Munina desperately whipped her tail to speed up.

Soon, she passed through a shortcut home only she knew and silently reached the stone pillar at the back of the tribe's central square.

Faced with the sight of a brutal battle, Munina was stunned.

Countless ferocious ocean creatures were besieging the tribe, most of them were sea sharks and horseshoe crabs wielding massive pincers clad in heavy plate armor.

Horseshoe crabs and fish are natural enemies.

Through a long evolutionary history, the spineless horseshoe crabs failed to develop civilization, with only a few individuals who lived extremely long gaining intelligence.

General Nephropidae was a prominent figure among the horseshoe crab clan.

These gigantic, plate-armored horseshoe crabs were General Nephropidae's subordinates.

They lacked high intelligence but were exceptionally fierce, their massive pincers easily cleaving the leather armor of the unfortunate tribesmen.

The Siren tribe lacked direct offensive organs and had to rely on sea battle weapons like the trident.

However, tridents are ultimately man-made weapons and are far less flexible than the naturally gifted pincers of horseshoe crabs.

Under the combined assault of plate-armored horseshoe crabs and giant sharks, the sea demons were in disarray, retreating step by step.

The female sea demons sang the First Movement, but to no avail.

The Song of Enchantment was only effective on intelligent beings and was meaningless against these simple-minded creatures.

In the aesthetic perspective of sharks and plate-armored horseshoe crabs, the sea demons' song was not appealing.

Munina rushed out without hesitation, singing the Second Movement of Chaos.

The song was full of anger, brimming with hatred towards the enemy.

Her chant even went beyond the range of normal hearing.

It was her first time using ultrasonic impact to transmit chaos.

Under the ultrasonic impact, the large school of sharks immediately fell into chaos, with some even flipping over to expose white bellies as they slowly sank.

The plate-armored horseshoe crabs fared slightly better but were also confused and at a loss.

Munina glanced at her father and signaled him with her eyes to lead the tribe to retreat.

Without needing more prompts from her, her father knew what to do.

The old clan leader wasted no words, promptly directing the tribe to evacuate through several passages.

Fortunately, Munina returned in time; although the tribe suffered significant losses, their core strength remained intact.

Thinking about the uncertain future, the old clan leader felt a bit dizzy.

After seeing the tribesmen evacuate, the old clan leader returned to the square, grabbed his daughter, who was still chanting desperately, and hastily retreated.

The sharks swayed and the plate-armored horseshoe crabs fell into a stupor, with the few humanoid warriors being promptly cut down by the gathering sea demons, temporarily nullifying the enemy's pursuit force.

From not far off the ocean surface, the bewildered old clan leader looked at his daughter, murmuring:

"What should we do? Where should we go?"

"To human territory, I have connections!" Munina did not hesitate to provide the right answer.

The old clan leader Murak was taken aback, his maw agape, unable to utter a word for a long time.

"Nina, where is your sister? Why did you come back alone?"

"Sister is already dead, I took some of our tribe to seek refuge with humans. No time to explain, father, quickly follow me."

"Wait, aren't humans our enemies? Can we make it there?" Murak the clan leader mumbled.

"Do you not trust me, or do you think we have many options?" Munina coldly eyed her old father, speaking indifferently.

Murak was at a loss for words.

His daughter was right; the tribe was besieged by General Nephropidae's army, yet no one in the tribe understood the Second Movement, unable to repel the sea demon army's attack, with the escape routes sealed. If not for Munina's timely return, today would have likely been the end for the tribe.

Indeed, he had no choice, but he still reluctantly looked towards the other tribesmen.

"Tribesmen, do you wish to wander or seek refuge with humans?"

"I don't want to deal with humans, I want to wander!" a boisterous voice rang out.

"If you want to die, go ahead, I have family; I'm willing to seek refuge with humans, as long as they provide us with decent treatment!"

"Miss Munina, tell us, what kind of treatment can humans offer us?"

...

The tribe's opinions were not very unified.

Most tribesmen believed the tribe had reached a dead end, and having someone willing to take them in was a blessing, there was no room for picky choices.

Some thought that with so many of them seeking refuge, they should at least demand a good price.

A few stubborn fishman supremacists believed that seeking refuge with humans tarnished their glorious traditions and were staunchly opposed.

Facing these divided opinions, Munina coolly reminded them, "I remind you, Governor Roland whom I know is the smartest among humans, and anyone trying to fool him will face severe consequences."

The old clan leader Murak raised his right hand, signaling the tribe to keep moving forward.

Wandering outside the group, the old clan leader swam shoulder to shoulder with his daughter, softly asking, "Sweet daughter, tell me the truth what happened? Where is Munina?"

Munina knew her father had a belly full of questions, and without hiding anything, she recounted everything that happened after setting out to sea.

His expression changed repeatedly, and hearing that several hundred tribesmen had been settled at a large lake, not all dead, he felt somewhat relieved.

But he was still curious; Munina's innate potential clearly didn't surpass Munina, so how was it she returned to the tribe, but not Munina?
