The mermaids were dumbfounded by Shi Wuxie's series of amazing moves.

So, what happened to the promise of kindness? What happened to the promise that benefactors would give them those things?

Why is it that now he's just pocketing it?

"Why are you all looking at me like that?"

Seeing this, Shi Wuxie was completely oblivious, looking at the bewildered mermaids with a puzzled expression, "I said you must have fighting ability too, why don't you come down and help?"

"Yes, I'm so sorry, although we really want to help you, we really can't."

Upon hearing this, the merfolk exchanged glances and resolutely shook their heads in refusal. "If we don't intervene, this will become a conflict between our benefactor and the shark people. If the three of us intervene, it will escalate into a conflict between the shark people and the merfolk. Therefore, for the sake of harmony between our races, we absolutely cannot intervene."

Repaying a debt of gratitude is a private matter between them, and naturally they wouldn't drag their entire family into it.

"I saved you guys before, are you just going to stand by and watch me get bullied here?"

Shi Wuxie truly couldn't understand the logic of these merfolk in front of him.

They were good people, but whenever he was in danger, he never offered a helping hand and always stood by and watched.

To say they were bad is an understatement; they never seemed to lie to him from beginning to end, and they were always doing their best to help.

So these mermaids are really strange.

Even Shi Wuxie, Dao is now a little confused about these mermaids. Are they truly kind-hearted or just pretending?

"But we feel that our benefactor would have absolutely no problem dealing with these shark-men!"

After hearing his words, one of the mermaids still shook his head very firmly and said, "Look at that shark man just now. He was killed without even being able to fight back in front of our benefactor. So, he doesn't need our help at all."

"Yes, yes, my benefactor, you'll definitely be fine on your own."

The other two mermaids nodded in agreement.

"Alright, alright, as long as you don't cause any trouble."

Upon hearing this, Shi Wuxie knew that it was impossible to get help from these mermaids. He took a deep breath and continued to focus on dealing with the sharkmen.

After the first sharkman died, Shi Wuxie originally thought that the other sharkmen would take the opportunity to swarm in, but unexpectedly, a brief silence appeared on the sea.

Even the three mermaids looked puzzled; they absolutely did not believe that the shark-men would choose to settle things quietly.

After thinking about it, Shi Wuxie quickly figured it out.

It's likely that the shark-men were observing the situation here. They originally sent one shark-man over to test his strength.

They just didn't expect the outcome to be so tragic, and they probably didn't have time to react.

According to the mermaids, these shark-men were very united and also very vengeful. Since he had killed their companion, they certainly wouldn't let it go so easily.

Once they come to their senses, they will likely launch their fiercest counterattack.

"Whoosh..."

Sure enough, after a brief period of calm, towering waves surged across the sea once again.

Immediately afterwards, eight enormous figures emerged from the sea, casting shadows over the entire ship.
