The land-walking megalodon was extremely brave. After swallowing two mermaids, it opened its mouth towards the other armored mermaids and shot out a large number of huge teeth from its mouth.

Shark teeth are easily detachable and renewable consumables. Shooting out teeth like this is a long-range attack method for them, which can be used to hunt for food or to block enemies.

Although the armor-faced dragon-men look quite strong, they are actually not good at close combat, just like the orthodox mermaids.

After being blocked for a moment by a large number of shark teeth, the land-walking Megalodon turned its head and instantly dived into the surrounding school of sharks and fish, blending in with them.

Same skin color, same body shape, it's impossible to tell them apart with the naked eye.

Those armor-masked mermaids became anxious.

The royal family among the mermaids and ordinary mermaids are not the same thing.

If we let this one escape, it would be like a dragon returning to the sea or a tiger returning to the mountains, causing endless trouble.

With such a huge mistake, Lord Viscount Kamen would definitely dig out their brains as dessert.

One of the armor-masked mermaids immediately took out a bell and shook it rapidly.

The bell made no sound in the sea, but ripples spread out.

All the authentic mermaids in this sea area immediately twisted violently. They couldn't even swim instinctively and sank into the water one after another.

The collars around their necks can limit the mermaids' abilities and cause them great harm.

Namur, the crowned mermaid who was swallowed by the shark, was also controlled by the collar and lost all ability to resist.

Mermaids are too dangerous in the sea, so how could the armor-faced ogre not take any measures?

Then all the armored mermaids emitted special waves, controlling all the sharks in that area to stop swimming.

The megalodon, which didn't have time to escape, also stopped moving.

"That Mur! Come out quickly! Otherwise, your children and all your people will be buried with you!"

The leading mermaid violently pulled over a young female mermaid and slashed her neck.

The mermaid's blood quickly gushed out and began to spread in the sea water.

The sharp blade directly cut the carotid artery. In just a few dozen breaths, the life of the little mermaid would be lost along with the blood.

"If you still don't come out, what should I do?"

He took out the egg again.

There were some cracks on the eggshell. He used his sharp claws to pierce the cracks.

Phew!

A bit of transparent egg white seeped out from the small hole. He actually punctured the egg.

At this moment, the abdomen of one of the megalodon sharks in the group of sharks suddenly moved.

The movement was immediately noticed by the other armor-masked mermaids.

Several sea forks that had been prepared were thrown over, directly piercing the head of the Megalodon, which was unable to move after receiving the command. No matter what creature it was, the brain would be fatally injured.

A sea fork with a rope was used to pull the shark's body back.

But before they could make another move, another sea fork pierced out of the shark's belly, slid sideways, and cut a large hole in the fish's belly.

The armor-masked mermaid that was swallowed just now came out from inside, holding the crowned mermaid.

"That was so careless. Are you okay?"

The other armored mermaids immediately stepped forward, beat up Namur who was trying to escape, and added several safety locks on him before reluctantly letting him go.

"It's okay. It would be bad if he was beaten to death."

"Does this guy still think he is a prince? The chain around his neck is still in my hand. He can't make any waves."

A harmless episode that ended with a beating.

After they left with the twenty authentic ogres, the body of the land-walking megalodon left behind was snatched away by all the surrounding sharks. Not long after, it disappeared completely.

But Jiang Li was not found among them.

At this time, Jiang Li was hiding in the burial coffin, hiding on the body of the armor-masked mermaid.

The mermaid's brain had been sucked dry at this time. A special creature from the Asura world, the soul-sucking monster, was entrenched in his head, controlling everything in this body.

Of course, it was not Namur who controlled the shark and swallowed the two mermaids, but Jiang Li.

After swallowing them both, Jiang Li immediately controlled the armor-masked mermaid.

"You, who are you?"

Another mermaid royal wearing a crown looked at Jiang Li who appeared in the shark's belly with surprise.

Is this a human? When will humans be able to control sea beasts?

"Don't talk, we have a common enemy."

"Cooperate with me, and I might be able to help you escape."

The tears of mermaids are a rare material, and the flesh and blood of mermaids have a certain effect in prolonging life.

Their fish oil can also be made into an ever-burning lamp that emits a subtle, calming fragrance when lit.

This leads to an unfriendly relationship between mermaids and humans.

But the two sides and the armored ogre were even more mortal enemies. In this case, they could still barely reach a consensus.

Jiang Li controlled the shark to swim into the school of fish to delay time, and then quickly stuffed the mind sucker into the mouth of the armor-masked mermaid.

Using the spiritual root seeds requires some transformation time, and the host will also lose a lot of memory after being parasitized.

This is obviously not the best option now.

Fortunately, the race of mind suckers can do this very well.

The brain matter was sucked out in a short period of time, and then the armor-faced mermaid was controlled, making it difficult for even the closest people to cast spells.

The crowned mermaid Namur did not expose Jiang Li.

Instead, he acted as if he had accepted his fate and became very cooperative. He was put in a collar and escorted to the shore with his other companions.

When the mermaid leaves the water, the fish's tail can split into two parts, and the mermaid can walk on the shore like humans.

The same is true for the armor-faced mermaid. The ability of the mind-sucking monster to control the body is, to a large extent, greater than that of the original owner of the body.

Even though it was its first time, it completed the splitting of its legs very smoothly and no one else noticed anything unusual.

With the help of the armor-masked mermaid's eyes, Jiang Li, who was hiding in the coffin, could also see the appearance of the island clearly.

In the thick sea fog, there stood a large number of strange totem stone pillars. Behind them were large stone nests, which were not very beautiful, but traces of civilization could be seen.

Whether it is natural or influenced by some force, this island is shrouded in sea fog all year round. If you look down from a high altitude, you probably won't be able to see anything.

No wonder, this place is not very far from the coast, but it has never been discovered by human forces.

Following the escort team, Jiang Li was surprised to find that the island was full of armored ogre species of all shapes and sizes.

Normally, during attacks, it was difficult to find just a few ogres, but here, with just a casual glance, the number of them exceeded tens of thousands.

Jiang Li was eager to try it out. If he could kill as many people as he wanted here, he would definitely be able to harvest a large number of bone armor surfaces.

This should be an outpost of the armored ogre.

Ordinary ogres are not sea creatures and cannot survive in the sea for a long time. Therefore, they must use these islands as a springboard to launch an attack on Cangyunzhou.

Moreover, the armor-faced ogre is also a highly intelligent race. If they want to maintain their combat effectiveness, they also need stable and strong logistical support.

On these islands, in addition to the ogres that attack the coast from time to time, there are also a large number of logistical personnel who are not very strong.

Normally, because they were hiding on the island, the monks could only passively defend and had to fight very hard. Now that he knew the location, he could blow the horn of counterattack.

The merit of Chongshan League is now 730,000, and there is still a shortfall of 270,000 to meet the requirement.

If we can find two or three more island outposts like this, we can probably complete it.

However, Jiang Li did not take action immediately, nor did he rush to notify Chongshan League.

Through Jiuyou's clone, Jiang Li learned that his spiritual root puppet was indeed sent to this island.

He wanted to secretly observe the habits of these monsters.

Why did they go to such great lengths to obtain so many human heads and children with spiritual roots?

How did they obtain the power of the mermaids?

Only when you know both yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.

The armor-faced demon escorted twenty mermaids to a place similar to an execution ground and locked them up in standing cages one by one.

The space inside these cages is very small, only enough for a humanoid creature to barely stand.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

I couldn't move my feet while standing inside, and I couldn't even bend my knees.

The prisoners inside cannot lean against the cage to rest, because the inside of the cage is covered with sharp spikes. If they move their bodies a little too much, they will be stabbed all over.

This is especially difficult for mermaids who rarely walk on their legs.

This method is used to make the mermaid gradually become weaker.

After waiting for a while, two figures walked out of the thick fog. They were two armored ogre priests wearing white robes.

The status of the two priests is obviously much higher than that of ordinary ogres.

The armor-masked mermaids saluted in a strange gesture, and the spirit-sucking monster followed suit naturally.

The two priests came closer and ignored the escort team, and started to check the condition of the twenty authentic mermaids.

After a moment, they nodded, looking satisfied.

"Leave one behind, the others can go."

The other armor-faced mermaids didn't want to stay on the shore any longer.

The ogre controlled by Jiang Li took the initiative to stay as a guard and got the bell of the control collar and a bunch of keys.

The two priests did not want Jiang Li's help. They held sharp knives in their hands, went through the gaps in the cages, and cut wounds on the bodies of the mermaids one by one. Then they cut pieces of flesh from their own bodies and stuffed them into the wounds to sew them up.

In the small cage, the mermaid could not resist or move and could only passively endure it.

Jiang Li, who was watching from the side, seemed to be thinking about something.

Is this the way the armored ogres corrupt other races? Just by stuffing a piece of flesh and blood into them, they can assimilate other races into armored ogres, and still keep the innate abilities and characteristics of the original race. Isn't this a bit too convenient?

Is this how all those strange and bizarre types of armor-faced monsters came about?

What kind of monsters have the human monks been fighting against over the years?

"Keep an eye on them. No matter what, do not open the cage and let them out."

The two priests seemed very busy. After leaving a few instructions, they left together.

Only the armor-faced ogre controlled by Jiang Li was left here alone.

He looked at the bell, then at the bunch of keys. Could he do whatever he wanted? "Then Muir, if I can take off your collar, can you summon sea monsters to attack this island?"

Seeing that there was no one around, Jiang Li revealed his true form and spoke again.

Having been seeded with the flesh and blood of the ogre, Muir's face did not look very good.

"That's impossible."

"It's easy to summon sea beasts, but my father was also corrupted and grew a mask, becoming a monster like them."

"His ability is greater than mine. As long as he is here, the sea beasts will be useless to us."

Jiang Li nodded. He didn't expect to destroy this stronghold so easily.

He also took out a small knife and began to clean the wounds of the mermaids while continuing to ask questions.

"Then do you have a way to stop the attack of the sea beast tide?"

Jiang Li asked again, but the other party hesitated for a moment and did not answer directly.

"You should be the human monks in the saltwater wetlands."

"I have a way to save you from the attacks and harassment of sea beasts. But I can't tell you now."

"As a member of the royal family of the mermaids, I ask you to help us escape from here."

"If you can do this, you will gain the friendship and rewards of the mermaids!"

"But time is running out. The blood of those monsters has already flowed through our bodies."

"Removing the flesh can only delay the erosion process. In a few hours, when the sun comes out, it will make us weak and powerless. Slowly, we will become like that."

"They have an antidote. It's a dried flower. You have to find it before dawn!"

The mermaid Namur's words were not very polite.

They were tricked out of the deep sea palace by the armor-masked mermaids who were mistaken for their own people, and then all their people lost their freedom.

This is not the most horrifying thing. The most horrifying thing is that his tribesmen and parents have also become unrecognizable one by one, and sooner or later it will be Namur's turn.

This made him wary of everything.

And being contaminated by that blood, he was almost losing himself, so how could he have the mind to be polite?

Of course, Jiang Li also expressed his understanding of this.

"Don't worry, now that we are here, I will definitely rescue you."

"This collar cannot be opened now. Once it is opened, the armor-faced ogre will find it."

"But as a token of my sincerity, these spiritual fruits can help you recover your injuries and strength quickly."

"These flesh and blood need you to be weak so they can quickly erode you."

"If you were in better condition, I would be able to help you hold on for a while longer."

"Hold on. When the time comes, we will need the strength of all of you to escape together."

Jiang Li very generously took out twenty fragrant Nine Nether Earth Fruits.

These mermaids trapped in cages felt more energetic just by smelling the scent.

They all opened their eyes wide and looked at the fruit in Jiang Li's hand.

Jiang Li pretended to be reluctant, sighed and shared the fruits.

Mermaids live on the bottom of the sea and their population is not large.

There aren't so many twists and turns in the human world. The fact that they were so easily deceived by the armor-faced ogre is enough to prove that they don't have a strong sense of prevention.

If it was a pill made by a human cultivator, they might still be a little hesitant.

But in their common sense, it is "well-known" that the spiritual fruit just picked from the tree cannot be tampered with.

And they were now at the critical moment of life and death. How could they afford to be so cautious?

Without much suspicion, they ate it all.

Only Namuer hesitated for a moment, but after waiting for a while and finding that there was nothing unusual with other members of the same tribe, he couldn't help but eat it.
