"So many fish..."

Faced with the cold gaze of over a thousand dugongs, Mu Jinyu didn't feel any pressure, he just said with some surprise.

Yu Shenfeng, however, didn't share Mu Jinyu's ease. When he faced the gaze of the dugongs, he instantly felt overwhelming pressure.

Because these dugongs, none of them were weak; all possessed cultivation at the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Among them, at least three hundred were at the Late Divine Transformation Realm Stage.

And there were also more than a dozen dugongs at the Early Fanxu Realm!

It's known that ferocious beasts with Fanxu Realm strength can dominate a famous mountain, being recognized as demon kings.

Who would have thought that here, there were more than a dozen dugongs with Fanxu Realm strength!

Most importantly, there was one dugong whose appearance was different from ordinary dugongs. It looked infinitely close to the mermaids imagined by humans.

Its lower body boasted a beautiful fish tail, adorned with sparkling multicolored scales, shimmering with vibrant colors as it swayed through the water.

Its upper body was not covered in dark gray fish skin, but had skin as white as jade, resembling human skin, and its slender arms were similar to those of a human woman.

Its chest was adorned with two exquisite shells...

However, shattering all the beautiful fantasies was its head, which was still a fish head...

This sight was truly eye-searing!

But Yu Shenfeng wasn't someone to judge by appearance alone. Although he felt slightly uncomfortable with this unusual mermaid, pressure was rising in his heart.

Because the strength of this demon beast that almost fully transformed into a mermaid was as strong as the sixth layer of the Fanxu Realm!

Now, Yu Shenfeng knew why he was in trouble.

With so many dugongs at the Fanxu Realm and this mermaid at the mid-stage of the Fuxuan Realm, he truly had no chance of resistance nor waking up!

"Hey, this one... wow, looks like a mermaid, but her head is really an eyesore."

Mu Jinyu also noticed the mermaid at the sixth layer of the Fanxu Realm, and initially admired that mermaids truly existed in the world, but once his gaze traveled upwards to the mermaid's fish head, he couldn't help but sigh with disappointment.

At this moment, he heard the dugongs talking among themselves.

In a group of over a thousand dugongs, there were more than three hundred at the Late Divine Transformation Realm Stage, and over a dozen at the Early Fanxu Realm. In possession of such strength, they naturally had intelligence not inferior to humans. It wasn't surprising they were conversing with each other.

However, unlike those living in the Huaxia Region, these dugongs didn't speak Huaxia directly after gaining wisdom and transforming their throat bones to talk.

He couldn't understand a word the dugongs were saying.

Could it be the language of the Dugong Tribe?

Mu Jinyu directly released his divine sense, feeling their spiritual fluctuations and quickly understood what they were saying.

It was roughly this:

"The sacrificial offering has escaped! What should we do?"

"The offering brought another new offering, but I feel he looks really terrifying..."

"..."

Hearing this, Mu Jinyu did not get angry but started pondering.

Sacrificial offering?

Could it be that Yu Shenfeng was bound at the cave entrance with injuries on his chest because these dugongs saw him as a sacrificial offering, using his blood for some ritual?

And now, they're treating me as an offering too — interesting...

"Ha!"

As Mu Jinyu pondered about how these dugongs gathered here and why this lake hadn't frozen over, the mermaid, probably the Rugens Queen, let out a tender shout. She then leapt out of Emerald Lake, wielding a deep blue trident, charging at Mu Jinyu!

"Hmm?"

Mu Jinyu woke from his reverie, and upon seeing the mermaid's graceful posture and her agile fish tail, a hint of admiration surfaced in his eyes.

But seeing the fish head, his gaze momentarily froze, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Shaking his head slightly, Mu Jinyu sighed, "Guests coming, why resort to violence, I've yet to hold you accountable."

Saying this, he pointed his finger towards the mermaid's charging trident.

"Clang!"

"Bang!!"

Holding the trident, the mermaid couldn't withstand Mu Jinyu's Dragon-Elephant Force, her delicate form shook, her tiger mouth cracked open with blood gushing out, her whole person being forced back.

With a flick of her tail, the mermaid did several backflips in mid-air to disperse the counter-shock force, and gazed at Mu Jinyu with fish eyes filled with uncertainty.

Evidently, she hadn't expected Mu Jinyu to be so powerful.

Mu Jinyu, watching the mermaid after several backflips, thought, if this mermaid had a normal human head, even if the face were not as pretty as Gu Xiyan's and the others, combined with her blue hair reaching waist and hips, her moves should have been quite delightful.

What a pity, having a fish tail as a mermaid would suffice, but adding a fish head is truly eye-searing!

"If you were a perfect mermaid, I might have the interest to exchange a few more moves with you, but as it is, alas... I really lack the interest to spar with you, don't blame me for judging by appearance, for I am indeed so crude."

With the mermaid hesitating, unwilling to easily attack Mu Jinyu again, Mu Jinyu sighed softly, then waved his hand with a pinch.

Immediately, like a paper doll being blown by a strong wind, the mermaid was thrown backward, then was attracted by a strong gravity, flying uncontrollably towards Mu Jinyu.

Finally, she arrived in front of Mu Jinyu, with her neck grasped by him.

"King!"

"Bold!"

"Bold offering, let go of our king!"

As the mermaid was grasped by Mu Jinyu, the dugongs floating on the water shouted in surprise.

Yu Shenfeng couldn't understand, but Mu Jinyu did understand their meaning!

"Hmm?!"

Mu Jinyu raised a brow, his gaze sweeping across these restless little fish.

Instantly, the dugong group, feeling the pressure of the Unity Realm Stage, were scared into trembling, not daring to make a move.

While those dugongs only possessing Early Stage strength at Divine Transformation Realm Stage were scared into falling into the water, not daring to surface again.

Initially struggling when grabbed by Mu Jinyu, the mermaid felt this pressure and immediately gave up resisting.

The mermaid thought in despair, never expected that human offering has such strong companions, they're doomed today...

Seeing the dugongs finally behaving, Mu Jinyu chuckled lightly, then looked at the mermaid in his hand, first gazing into her fish eyes feeling rather uncomfortable, then shifted his gaze down to the shells, and asked:

"Why did you harm my friend? Why call him a sacrificial offering?"

Although Mu Jinyu understood the dugongs' speech, he couldn't speak their language, thus he communicated directly through spiritual waves.

The mermaid comprehended Mu Jinyu's message, raised her fish eyes with a curious glance at Mu Jinyu, hesitated for a moment, and explained:

"He carries the purest ocean breath, being the most suitable offering to the Sea God. It's also why we survived this huge disaster..."
