"Eight of them! There are actually eight sharkmen acting together!"
Upon seeing this scene, even the mermaids couldn't help but gasp in surprise. Their expressions changed drastically, and they stammered, "No, no, it's not eight, it's nine!"
"hiss…"
Upon hearing the mermaid's words, the other mermaids clearly realized something as well, and they all gasped and widened their eyes.
"What does this mean? Explain yourself."
Seeing this, Shi Wuxie guessed something, frowned and looked at the mermaids, asking, "Is the opponent's strength terrifying?"
"My benefactor, you should focus on dealing with those sharks. This time it will definitely not be as easy as last time."
One of the mermaids, her face full of worry, said in a trembling voice, "Sharkmen usually travel alone, at most three or four, and seven is already the limit. But now there are nine of them. Only sharkmen of royal blood travel in groups of nine at the same time."
"royal?"
Although Shi Wuxie didn't know what was special about the difference in the number of these shark people traveling, he did know the meaning behind the words "royal family".
Among humans, anyone with even a trace of royal blood is at the top of the entire food chain.
That means that among these eight sharkmen, there is a sharkman royal family with terrifying strength.
"Defense barrier, activate."
With this in mind, and seeing the eight huge figures rushing towards the deck, Shi Wuxie activated the ship's self-defense formation without any hesitation.
As for why he knew this formation, he himself didn't know.
However, while building the ship, the image involuntarily surfaced in his mind, as if he had encountered it before and someone had taught him about it.
Moreover, some strange images appeared in my mind.
This defensive formation seems to have been placed on a strange, enormous flying artifact capable of carrying people high in the sky.
He didn't know how the magic weapon was made, but it was truly amazing. He admired the craftsman's talent and wondered what kind of strength and creativity it took to create such an outstanding magic weapon.
"ah…"
The three mermaids, of course, had no idea of the origin of this formation. They were already disheartened when they saw the eight shark-men smashing their sharp heads into the deck.
She screamed out loud, then covered her face and closed her eyes, unable to bear it any longer.
They had already guessed the sharks' purpose: to destroy the ship.
Although shark-men have half-human bodies, they are still marine creatures, and the sea is where they have the greatest advantage.
Moreover, once the scent of the basil fruit from this ship is gone, given the sharks' prestige and influence in the ocean, other fish will surely come to their aid, leaving Shi Wuxie with no way out.
"You despicable humans who dare to kill our kin, prepare to die!"
Just as the mermaids had guessed, each of these shark-men was furious, wishing they could devour Shi Wuxie alive and tear him to pieces to avenge their fallen comrades.
In the ocean, the more powerful a being is, the larger it will be, and similarly, the fewer in number it will be.
Therefore, for the Sharkmen, every companion is of utmost importance, and none can be easily lost.
