Even the shadowy figure paused, having listened in the dark for so long with disdain, only to be suddenly told this.

Hey, it's all true! Surprised? Unexpected? This is something he really can't accept.

The elder sat back down, no longer wanting to dwell on how beautiful the female was, but instead thinking of something else.

Do you still remember the prophecy of the God of Darkness?

The shadowy figure was stunned: "You mean the one destined to cause our defeat?"

The elder nodded: "The God of Darkness said that the female is different from the other females."

The shadowy figure asked, "Do you think it's that female?"

"What if?" The elder picked up a piece of seaweed with his finger and ate it. "The God of Darkness only said that she was different from other females, but he didn't say how. Maybe she's just exceptionally beautiful."

This...this is a bit too hasty, the shadowy figure thought to himself.

The elder continued, "Since we've been searching for so long without finding it, why don't we give it a try? I'd also like to see what kind of female could be so beautiful."

The shadowy figure chuckled softly, "I think this is what you really wanted, isn't it?"

The elder shrugged: "Everyone has curiosity."

There's no harm in trying. If it's wrong, consider it an opportunity to see a beautiful female; if it's right...

The elder laughed, his eerie laughter particularly jarring in the darkness.

Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free.

It is believed that no mermaid could resist the temptation to kill the culprits who caused their defeat and then lead the mermaid race back to its peak a thousand years ago.

The elders quickly dispatched a group of merfolk to search for Yu Wanwan, but they only knew that she was beautiful, and did not know which tribe or race she belonged to. Such a search was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

The elder could only make a preliminary judgment: since she could appear at the seaside, it meant that her tribe must be very close to the sea, perhaps in one of the coastal forests.

Having decided on their direction, the mermaids set off from the deep sea.

However, although the hail had stopped in the past few days, not many orcs came out. After waiting for several days, the merfolk guarding the vicinity of Qingwan Forest finally encountered three lone orcs.

It was a family of koala beastmen, the parents with their youngest son. They had just eaten eucalyptus leaves and were now stuck in the tree, unable to move, poisoned.

Mermaids don't climb trees, but they still had time and weren't in a hurry, so they all stood under the tree watching the poor family of three.

Sweat beaded on the koala family's foreheads. After spending a day and a night in the tree, they finally couldn't take it anymore and slid down, kneeling before the merfolk: "We have no supplies on us, please spare us, gentlemen!"

A merman, amused, knelt on one knee, looking at the family before him: "If you want to save your lives, answer our questions obediently, or else..."

Before he could finish speaking, he picked up a harpoon and held it against the koala orc's mate and cub.
