The shark-man narrowed his eyes, and a spear materialized again in his right hand.

But this time he did not choose to attack directly; instead, he stared intently at the girl.

He seemed to be struggling with a decision.

A moment later, he gritted his teeth, gripped the spear tightly, and charged forward once again.

The girl closed her eyes in terror once again.

After a while, nothing happened.

Could it be that my hand started moving again?

The girl swallowed hard, mustered her courage, and opened her eyes again.

But his hands were still covering his head, and he didn't block the attack as he had before.

She looked up in confusion and saw that the shark-man's leg had been grabbed by another shark-man, and then he was suddenly thrown to the ground.

What are you doing!

The male shark-man who was thrown to the ground angrily got up, only to be slapped by the female shark-man who had grabbed him.

What am I doing!

What am I doing!

What am I doing? Don't you have any self-awareness?

The female shark slapped the other person's face again and again, leaving him stunned.

The female shark-woman shook her hand and pointed at the other person menacingly.

"Don't think about killing before you understand what's going on! Don't you have anything else in your head?!"

The male shark was also a little unconvinced.

"Any intruder, regardless of what kind of creature it is, must be executed! I have no problem with that!"

"Did she come in from outside?"

The shark-man was stunned for a moment, scratched his head, and realized that the girl didn't seem to have broken in.

The female shark-woman sighed and rubbed her forehead. After slapping the other person again, she slowly swam to the girl.

Having overheard their conversation, the girl roughly understood that the female shark-man in front of her didn't seem to want to kill her.

But she still stood up nervously.

Huh?! Why can I understand their language?

The girl suddenly realized that they were speaking a language she had never spoken before, but she didn't know why she could understand it.

It was as if I had learned it before.

"Hey, you, where did you come from? What kind of fish is that?"

The female shark-woman crossed her arms, straightened her body, and looked down at the girl.

The girl then realized that these shark-men were all huge!

At 1.6 meters tall, he barely reached the chest of the female shark-woman in front of him, and her breasts were almost bigger than his head...

As for his other appearance, he wasn't much different from that male shark man.

He had long, jet-black hair, and two black lines running from the top of his head through his eyes and down.

A pair of huge shark fins grow from its back, like angel wings, and are very beautiful.

"I'm asking you a question, what are you?"

The female shark-woman asked again, somewhat impatiently, and the girl quickly spoke up.

"Um... my name is Hera!"

"Yes, it's a... uh... human?"

Hera lowered her head and cautiously revealed that she was human, while observing the female shark-woman's expression.

Because, according to the usual tropes in movies and TV shows, these non-human intelligent beings are usually very hostile towards humans.

But Hera dared not hide it and could only prepare to escape at any time.

However, the female shark-woman didn't react much when she heard that Hera was human; her serious face just showed a hint of confusion.

"What are humans? A race?"

Hera was taken aback at first, then nodded frantically like a chick pecking at rice.

The female shark-woman nodded slightly. "Then are you something from the surface?"

Although Hera felt that the other party's words were a bit impolite, she didn't dare to say anything and could only answer honestly.

"Yes, that's right..."

"Then how did you get here? What are you doing here?" The female shark-woman's eyes narrowed.

Hera swallowed hard. "I...I don't know."

"Don't know?" Her eyes suddenly sharpened, like a sharp long knife, staring intently at Hera, as if trying to see through her.

Hera was startled. "I really don't know. I only remember drawing under a tree, and then I felt like I slept for a very, very long time. When I woke up, I was here."

Hera's eyes were slightly red, and she didn't seem to be lying at all.

"Think about it carefully."

Hera touched her head, trying hard to recall what had happened in that long blank period of memory.

No matter how hard she tried to recall, her mind remained a blur, and she could only vaguely remember that someone important had left her.

That's all I can think of.

Seeing Hera's expression, the female shark-woman sighed softly and stopped pressing her for answers.

"Alright, since you can't remember, I won't ask anymore. I'm just going to say your last question: are you really a creature from the ground?"

"Yes, absolutely true!"

This Hera is definitely real.

"Okay, according to their story, you popped out of a stone in the museum. This stone has been preserved here for five years and is already considered part of our Ocean World."

"Once you come out from inside, that stuff belongs to our Ocean World, so I won't chase you away."

Hera was a little taken aback.

An underwater world? Emerging from a rock? Five years?!

The information contained in those two short sentences was a bit too much for Hera's mind to process.

He was sealed inside a rock for five years? And now he's in the ocean?!

Aren't there no living creatures on the seabed?!

Even though the thing in front of her didn't look like a creature from the surface at all, Hera still couldn't believe that she was really in the underwater world.
