Chapter 300 - 300 298 Sea Siren Queen_1

Chapter 300: Chapter 298 “Sea Siren” Queen!_1 Chapter 300: Chapter 298 “Sea Siren” Queen!_1 “These are… the mermaids from before? *cough cough*…”

Colin was astonished, finding it incredible to see such a large group of mermaids, some of whom looked quite familiar.

If he wasn’t mistaken, these had to be the same mermaids they had rescued before…

Only, aside from the dozen or so that had escaped, there were also several dozen others, equally beautiful but dressed in blue scale armor resembling dresses, their gaze towards them filled with hostility.

Unlike those they had saved, the animosity they exuded was almost tangible.

Following Colin’s gaze, Dog Brother and the others also noticed the mermaids and were immediately surprised.

In their view, these Fishmen had fled before and would most likely have gone far away, never to be seen again, but unexpectedly, they had come looking for them…

The Arsonist glanced back at “Surfing for Pigs”:

“Have they come to return the favor?”

“Hard to say, but rather than gratitude, I feel like vengeance might be more likely,” Dog Brother was the first to speak.

He noticed that a significant portion of the mermaids looked at them unfavorably, giving off the sense that they could lash out and tear them to pieces at any moment.

However, recalling what they had seen in Pirate City, and considering how most people treated them.

Everyone thought such an attitude was completely normal…

But, though the timing and the place seemed somewhat inappropriate, as the exceptionally beautiful group of mermaids drew near, they couldn’t help but let their eyes sweep over their bare abdomens…

At the same time, they couldn’t suppress a thought:”Why do so many things underwater grow unrestricted, but all these Fishmen are top tier in appearance?”

Aside from being one size larger in stature, standing up with their fish tails might make them two heads taller than Yao Ming, but there were no significant flaws.

It was then, under their watchful eyes, that the mermaids stopped as a group a short distance away from the submarine.

Colin took a deep breath and stood up, taking the foremost position to make eye contact with them.

Leading the mermaids was a larger one holding a Scepter topped with a diamond-shaped jewel. Her eyes were not black but a pale gold, and her tail was very long—more a serpent tail like the “Deep Sea Messenger” Colin had seen before, rather than a fish tail.

And from her, it was possible to distinctly feel an air of nobility that comes with long-held power.

“She might be even more powerful than a single ‘Deep Sea Messenger’, and that scepter gives me a dangerous feeling; it must be a rather powerful artifact,”

Colin rapidly assessed the situation, then activated the “Combat Power Observation” that came with his “Gene Panel”.

[Name]: ???

[Race]: Approximately human.

[Strength]: 10.1.

[Constitution]: 9.7.

[Agility]: 11.4.

[Description]: An exceptionally beautiful “human”-like creature, with an elegant and noble aura that seems to suggest she’s a leader of some kind?

[Note]: The data above does not represent final combat power; please refer to actual encounters for a precise assessment…

…

“Indeed, the overall quality is very impressive, but what’s with this ‘approximately human’ thing? Does this mean that a ‘Sea Siren,’ when you take away the lower half, rounds up to approximately human?”

Colin muttered to himself, and just then, the mermaid leader who had been making eye contact with him for about a dozen seconds nodded her head as if she wanted to say something, but a sudden terrifying pressure arrived, causing her expression to change.

She then turned to look at the crowd of mermaids, and after seemingly saying something, several Fishmen suddenly swam out of the group and approached the submarine.

These Fishmen were the ones they had saved before.

Now, after swimming closer, they seemed a bit nervous as they made some hand gestures towards Colin and his companions—

To be honest, I couldn’t quite understand it, but I could comprehend their voices when they spoke.

“A very powerful individual is coming this way, and I’m going to take you all to run,” one said. “Do you understand me? I will help you all escape, thank you for saving us.”

A few Fishmen seemed anxious that the humans might not comprehend, explaining with urgency until Colin spoke up:

“Okay, sure, thank you.”

“Ah?”

The delicate faces of the Fishmen showed a hint of dumbfounded surprise, “You can speak our language?!”

This was odd, as it was typically very difficult for humans to learn their language, right?

Only a few rare linguistic masters among humans could barely make sense of it…

‘Of course I can’t, it’s all thanks to the company’s powerful translation capabilities…’ Colin pursed his lips but didn’t say this out loud; instead, he just nodded.

The Fishmen were taken aback for a moment, then one of them said with excitement, “That’s great! Let’s run together!”

Without further delay, they all flapped their tails and came forward, each taking a person and holding them in their arms like a doll, and then they started running towards the exit.

“Cough, cough, cough…” Colin couldn’t help coughing out a few congealed chunks that looked akin to pieces of internal organs.

“Oh! Are you alright?”

The mermaid holding Colin blinked her pale golden eyes, looking somewhat helpless and a bit innocent.

By now, she had realized that it was the arrival of this very person who directly confronted that terrifying monster, allowing them to escape so smoothly; otherwise, they might have ended up like the unfortunate Ramu, slaughtered by humans and turned into a fish soup.

“It’s fine, just choked a bit by accident, please continue,” Colin said somewhat awkwardly. His negative status effects had just been unreasonably wiped clean by “The Light Chaser,” and then the Little Maid had helped him reconnect and heal his wounds, so he was now, more or less, “unscathed.”

But no matter how “unscathed” he was, the fact that the mermaid had hurriedly held him so tightly to her chest had been a bit too much, causing him to accidentally choke…

However, what would it matter if it happened again?

Colin, like a Little Cat being picked up, popped his head out from the chest of the mermaid. He saw the others being held in the same way, each having a different degree of embarrassment on their faces.

“Tina! What are you doing? We need to get moving!” the regal “Sea Siren” spoke out, her voice ethereal like an elf’s, carrying a commanding presence.

“Okay, …Your Majesty the Queen!” The mermaid holding Colin quickly replied and hurried to follow.

Once they entered the water, the queen wielded her Scepter adorned with an exquisite diamond-shaped blue gem, creating several bubbles to envelop Colin and the others, sparing them the trouble of breathing.

Then, the “Sea Sirens,” led by the queen, swam swiftly in a certain direction.

“Charge! Charge!”

With the “Sea Siren” queen holding her Scepter at the forefront, the entire school of fish followed her like a flock of geese in the sky or a charging legion, their speed increasing by the moment.

The unfortunate sea creatures in their path were pulverized upon mere contact.

Furthermore, a blue light emanated from that special Scepter, and under its influence, all the “Sea Sirens” seemed to evolve as their fish tails elongated, resembling serpent tails.

The mermaids’ appearances also became even more enchantingly beautiful at that moment.

After about fifteen minutes of movement, the fish school’s swimming speed had reached a terrifying level.
