Si Yan looked away.
He had the opportunity to show his strength but couldn't. Doesn't being unable to lift the whale make him seem weak?
The owl seemed a little defeated. Its feathers drooped slightly.
"This fish is too big. If it were any smaller, I could..."
“You’re injured, so it’s not suitable for you.” Si Yan calmly looked at the enormous little whale, and seeing its pleading and pitiful eyes looking at her, her heart softened even more.
Just as Si Yan was trying to figure out a solution, Mu Xiao sniffed and said, "Little female, don't worry about him for now. Look around, there are traces of other beastmen nearby."
Si Yan looked around warily: "So this mermaid was dragged up by other beastmen?"
Wood Owl nodded: "That's most likely the case."
Si Yan deduced, "The other side is either very strong or there are many of them."
Such a large mermaid must have been dragged from the sea to the center of this island; it must have been incredibly strong.
Wood Owl immediately retorted, "My strength is the greatest!"
After saying that, Mu Xiao started flexing his muscles like a complete idiot.
Si Yan glanced at the orc who looked like he was completely brain-dead, rubbed her temples, and said calmly, "Find a way to get some seawater to wet its body. I'll stay here and guard it."
You mean I'll go alone?
Si Yan nodded.
Wood Owl shook his head vigorously: "This won't do. It's too dangerous here. We don't know how many people the enemy has, and I'm the only male with you. I have to protect you."
Si Yan turned and glanced at him, then ran towards the beach without saying a word.
Mu Xiao was stunned. He shouted, "Hey, Si Yan, why are you running? Hey, hey!!!"
He could only hurry and run after them.
Upon arriving at the beach, Si Yan was stumped about how to move the seawater.
She found a thick tree and began to carve it piece by piece with snake scales. The owl immediately took over and chopped it in half with a single swing of its claws.
Si Yan immediately used the broken piece of wood to reach inside, intending to retrieve a wooden bucket. Seeing this, the owl swung its claw and swiftly split the piece of wood in two again.
The wooden barrel was chopped in half. Si Yan turned her head and glared at him speechlessly.
Mu Xiao then realized he had made a mistake and felt somewhat embarrassed.
Si Yan found another passage, and this time she patiently explained to Mu Xiao, "I want to hollow it out and make a bucket."
Although Wood Owl didn't know what a bucket was, he knew what hollowing it out meant this time. He stretched out his claws and quickly hollowed out the piece of wood.
Si Yan grabbed a bucket of water and ran back. Mu Xiao immediately took it from her and said in a showy manner, "How can I let a female do the work?"
"..."
Si Yan watched as the flashy white-clad man in front of her ran away quickly, carrying water, showing no signs of injury whatsoever.
Si Yan followed and arrived at the location of the little whale. She had Mu Xiao fly into the air and pour water onto the little whale's dried body.
Nourished by the seawater, the baby whale finally regained some energy.
However, it's a drop in the ocean; such a small bucket of seawater ultimately won't have much of an effect.
"Someone's coming!"
Mu Xiao grabbed Si Yan and pulled her behind a bush. Si Yan looked through the gaps in the trees and saw a dozen or so male orcs with dark purple lips suddenly appear in front of her.
“It’s a sea scorpion beastman,” Wood Owl said softly. “Tch, there’s also a red crystal sea scorpion.”
Red Crystal Orcs.
Si Yan narrowed her eyes. After the battle between Mu Xiao and Tyson, Si Yan knew clearly that her strength was not on the same level as Hong Jing's.
If a fight is inevitable, the only option is to rely on the Wood Owl beside you.
"What are they doing?" Si Yan exclaimed in a low voice.
A sea scorpion beastman transformed his hand into a scorpion shape, and his purplish, venomous pincers pierced directly into the little whale's body, causing the little whale to immediately struggle and howl in pain.
Si Yan's eyes reddened slightly.
In the apocalypse, she had witnessed zombies biting humans, their teeth, dripping with purple saliva, piercing into human bodies. The humans pushed the zombies away, clutching their wounds in pain, and eventually mutated into their own kind.
Among them, she had seen her classmates, her teachers, and all sorts of familiar strangers on the street, who had all turned into zombies.
A slight pain spread through her heart. Si Yan gripped the snake scales in her hand tightly.
Mu Xiao noticed Si Yan's unusual behavior and looked at Hai Xie, saying, "Hai Xie is a cold-blooded scorpion beastman, a creature that everyone in the beast world hates."
Si Yan paused slightly, thinking of her four little ones at home, four cold-blooded snake-beastmen.
Even if her four children were to be villains, they absolutely could not be the kind of villains in front of them!
Why are they capturing the little mermaid?
Wood Owl said, "Perhaps it's for the salt, or perhaps it's for the mermaid's tears. Little female, mermaids are very valuable."
"I want to save her," Si Yan said. "I need your help."
Wood Owl nodded: "I was originally a peace envoy from White Eagle City, dedicated to maintaining world peace. It is only right that I take action in this kind of matter."
Peace envoys who maintain world peace?
Si Yan glanced at him.
Wood Owl immediately panicked and said, "I...I...I didn't kidnap you! It's perfectly fair for males to compete for females. I didn't violate any of the rules of the beast world!"
"Really?" Si Yan didn't believe it.
Wood Owl felt a little guilty.
Si Yan said, "There's no time to pursue your matter now. We need to save the little whale."
Owl asked, "How do you plan to save them?"
Si Yan turned around and looked Mu Xiao up and down. After scrutinizing him until he felt something was wrong, as if he was being tricked, Si Yan said, "You're fast. Lead them away."
Wood Owl was startled, then asked, "After I lure them away, how are you going to save it?"
Si Yan frowned. "I don't know."
Wood Owl was speechless. After thinking for a while, he couldn't think of any other way. Wood Owl said, "I'll go lure them away."
After saying that, the Wood Owl Beast transformed into a white eagle. The eagle soared into the air and circled, immediately attracting the attention of the Sea Scorpion Beastman.
Wood Owl swooped down, grabbed two Green Crystal Sea Scorpion Beastmen with his claws, flew them into the air, and crushed them to death with his claws!
Eagles are the natural enemies of scorpions. The sea scorpion beastmen were initially frightened when they saw Wood Owl, but after observing and finding that there was only one eagle beastman, the sea scorpion beastman leader waved his hand, and the group of sea scorpion beastmen ran towards Wood Owl.
After all the sea scorpion beastmen had left, Si Yan emerged from behind the bushes.
The baby whale's body was injected with scorpion venom, which spread extremely quickly, turning the severely affected areas purple.
The little whale looked at her with pleading eyes. Si Yan wanted to pull it into the sea, but the little whale shook its head.
Si Yan looked helplessly at the little whale, which seemed to want to say something to her, but she couldn't understand it.
Si Yan said, "I can save you, believe me, just hang in there."
After saying that, Si Yan stretched out her hands and gently placed them on the little whale's poisoned wounds. Green life force spread through the little whale's body from her palms!
