Not only the plump females, but the other black chicken females were also very interested. They discussed the power of the leopard tribe, and some of the females even started chatting with the leopard beastmen on the spot, as if they were going to arrange a blind date.

Their faces showed no attachment to their homeland, only longing and anticipation for a better new life.

However, this expectation didn't last long on their faces, and soon things changed.

A group of merfolk wielding harpoons suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and the unsuspecting leopard-like beastmen were immediately surrounded.

The leopards knew they couldn't win today and were clearly terrified of the merfolk. The leopard carrying the cage couldn't even stand steadily, and the cage collapsed with a thud.

The pitiful fish, Wanwan, was crushed between the cage and its body by the rolling females, and almost lost its breath there.

At the command of the lead mermaid, the mermaids charged forward with harpoons. The leopards were no match for them and all perished.

Several leopards tried to escape, but the merfolk caught them and killed them on the spot, leaving no one alive.

The females cried out in fear and pushed each other, but they were trapped in the cage and could not go anywhere.

Scalding blood splattered on the ground. Death was imminent. Yu Wanwan suppressed the urge to vomit and frowned deeply.

The Beast Gods were right. This group of merfolk were cold-blooded and brutal, and they didn't care about the lives of the hot-blooded beastmen at all. If they succeeded, the hot-blooded beastmen would have a terrible future on the Beastman Continent.

Yu Wanwan clenched her fists. If she weren't powerless, she would have rushed up and fought them right now.

After dealing with the leopards, the mermaid looked at the females locked in the cage.

They casually sized them up and discussed, "What are we going to do with these females now?"

One of the mermaids swallowed hard as he looked at the females' voluptuous figures: "Let's take them back and enjoy them for a few days, then feed them to the red crabs."

Another mermaid hesitated, seemingly thinking, "But if the king finds out we're feeding the red crabs with orc flesh, he'll definitely punish us."

The Mermaid King recently stated that feeding red crabs is prohibited, as an overpopulation of red crabs could pose a significant threat to the mermaid race if they become uncontrollable.

The merman who wanted to take the females away didn't seem to care: "What's there to be afraid of? We all listen to the elders. What does the Mermaid King's orders matter? The elders said that the Red Crab is incredibly destructive. If we can make use of it, the entire Orc continent will be ours."

Yu Wanwan secretly listened to their conversation and quietly memorized what they said.

It seems that the merfolk are not so united.

"And what about these leopards?"

"Don't waste it, take it with you."

Upon hearing that they were to be taken away to be fed to the red crabs, the females, who had just been full of vigor, immediately turned pale. Some cried and cursed, some shouted, and some even fainted on the spot.

Yu Wanwan bit her lip tightly. She was terrified, but she tried her best to calm herself down.

It's okay, it's okay.

She was originally looking for the Mermaid King, and the fact that she managed to enter the sea alive proves that her plan has at least taken one step forward.

Don't panic, the Beast God won't let her die.

Just like last time they went into the water, the mermaids blew a bubble over the females' heads, tied their hands with tough seaweed, and then sank to the bottom of the sea.

As they dived deeper, the light gradually turned into darkness, and the merfolk found lanternfish to stand guard beside them to provide light.

Yu Wanwan glanced at the lanternfish next to her, met its dead fish eyes, and quickly turned her face away, not wanting to look anymore.

This fish is not large, but has a strange and ugly appearance. It has a glowing sphere on its head and a set of tiny teeth that make people's scalp tingle.

As the depth increased, Yu Wanwan began to experience the same uncomfortable reactions as before: dizziness, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.

All the females around were normal, except for Yu Wanwan, who was pale.

However, these merfolk were clearly not the kind of people who would take care of Yu Wanwan like Yu Ling did. They ignored Yu Wanwan's strange behavior and continued heading towards the palace.

Yu Wanwan bit her lip tightly.

Could it be that I'm going to hang in the sea before I even get to the Mermaid King?

Yu Wanwan was getting a little dizzy after swimming for an unknown amount of time.

The group suddenly stopped, and the scout swam back and said to their leader, Shang Bing, "Captain, something bad has happened! I saw the head guard coming!"

Shang Bing's face darkened.

This guard captain is a supporter of the Mermaid King, and he is completely opposed to me, who supports the elders. However, his position is slightly higher than mine, which means I can only bow when I see him.

If he sees that I brought a female of the hot-blooded orc to the bottom of the sea, I will definitely be punished!

Shang Bing quickly said, "Hurry, hide the females over there in the waterweed field, and be careful not to let them make a sound!"

Yu Wanwan was hidden in the water plants with a group of females, next to a pile of leopard carcasses, and several lanternfish were swimming slowly nearby.

The mermaid guard captain quickly arrived with a group of mermaids. When he saw Shang Bing, his expression darkened, and his brows immediately furrowed: "Shang Bing, what are you doing here?"

Shang Bing cleared her throat, pretending to be nonchalant: "I'm fine, I'm just rushing back to the palace to report to the elders."

"Reporting to the elders? In our merfolk, the king is the leader. If you want to report, you should report to the king."

Although the two sides appeared to be on good terms, everyone knew that the Mermaid King and the Elder were at odds.

The guard captain was a staunch supporter of the Mermaid King. He showed no kindness to Shang Bing, who was drifting towards the elders. Taking advantage of his higher rank, he seized on any minor flaw Shang Bing had to teach her a lesson without hesitation: "Didn't you go to land today? You took so many people out, how come you only brought back so little? I told you before that you didn't need to lead a team out. Just focus on cleaning up the red crabs. Those red crabs are almost heading towards where the tribesmen live!"
