Chapter 3: The Tyrannical Mermaid Princess

  If you dont have wings, then only your soul has the right to float over the ocean.--------------- An ancient maxim passed down by the Xiyasea tribe in the land world.

  ************************************

  "Mermaid... " The mermaid stopped humming and singing softly, her beautiful eyes staring at Liu Zhen, opening her mouth to ask: "Was that song you just sang?"

  The mermaid asked slowly in the Aegean dialect, as if pouring out her heart to an old friend she hadnt seen for many years, her gentle voice full of a dreamy flavor.

  "It was me who sang." Liu Zhens hand on the bamboo pole tightened. The seawater "gurgled" and suddenly a dozen or so dark shadows emerged, constantly patrolling in the water. One of them swam closer, and the glow of the night pearl clearly revealed its shape to Liu Zhen.

  He was a burly man of about two meters in height, with a spindle-shaped head and a muscular body with smooth lines. He wore clothes made of seaweed and had an air of cold confidence, his eyes gleaming with a lust for slaughter like the huge white hunting fork made from fish bones that he grasped in his hand.

  Their mounts were each a majestic tiger-headed shark, cleaving the waves and roaming freely in the water, with saddles made of coral. Under the night sky, they emitted a faint red glow, and the enormous heads of the tiger-headed sharks occasionally swept over the bamboo raft, their eyes gleaming like those of a hungry tiger sizing up a goats horn.

  Helens hand was shaking violently in Lius palm, Helen tried her best to cover it up, but it was futile.

  "Its a Gabrin tribe Shark warrior!" Helen whispered softly in Liu Zhens ear. Her expression was as if she had just suffered from a nightmare, her whole body trembling uncontrollably with cold sweat, even her voice was shaking along with it.

  "Then......" The mermaid plucked the harp, and the sound of "ding-dong" did not fall on her ears. "Why do you appear in the sea of Xiyashan? You dont know our rules of Xiyashan Sea Clan, do you? Any land creature cant fly over our sky!"

  "Beautiful and noble mermaid princess, we are just two poor wandering beastmen in the bitter sea, having gone through great hardships, now only wanting to return home as soon as possible. We do not intend to challenge the dignity of the noble sea tribe, we just want to go home." Helen gave a noble curtsy to the mermaid.

  "Beautiful Fox Tribe Miss, I suppose you are also a noble from Meng Zhong!" The Mermaid Princess smiled and chuckled, her two golden locks slightly moved, revealing half of her plump and firm breasts.

  Liu Zhens eyes suddenly widened.

  "Is this also a ritual of the Pig tribe? What a wonderful song of the Pig tribe! For many years, our mermaid clan has not forgotten!" The beautiful mermaid princess swung her two bundles of wet and golden hair to her back, smiling at Liu Zhen who had a pig-like face.

  "Yes, Your Highness." Helen replied with a perfectly flawless noble demeanor, neither arrogant nor humble, to the mermaids question.

  Liu Zhen looked clearly at the mermaids chest and saw two small shells, and regretfully rolled his white eyes.

  "How many years has it been!" The mermaid said with a sigh: "The Piggu tribe can actually offer sacrifices to the holy altar? Are they stronger than the Mong Beastmen now? Or have they completely declined?"

  "The choice of altar sacrifice is in the great god of war, not whether the sacrifice comes from Pige or Foxes, Your Highness." Helen replied with a bow.

  "Are you two lovers?" The mermaid looked at Liu Zhen and said, "Brave warrior of the Matchless Tribe, dont be like a small clown fish at the bottom of the sea, silent and not making a sound, open your mouth and answer my question."

  The mermaids gaze was both noble and arrogant, like a soaring eagle looking down at the multitude of people on earth.

  "Its a lover! Your Highness, the noble princess!" Liu was shocked and glanced at the dozen or so wandering Tigerhead Shark Knights, immediately piling on a heap of gentle smiles.

  Helen and he exchanged a deep look.

  "No wonder your singing voice was filled with sorrow and grief just now, even the mermaid tribe, which is recognized as having the most beautiful voices and the most abundant emotions, finds it unbelievable." The mermaid princess revealed a moving smile: "Since you are lovers, you are not as hateful as the human beings of the Mongol tribe. The light of Neptune and Amphitrite shines on you, I decide to forgive your crime of trespassing into the western ocean territory of Xiyang Empire."

  Who says Haitians are unreasonable? Liu Zhen and Hai Lun exchanged a smile, both of them let out a sigh of relief, thinking that the rumor might not be credible after all.

  Before Helen could even say thank you, the mermaid spoke again in a soft voice.

  "Unfortunately, to prove your love, I have decided that only one of you can leave safely. The one who stays behind will be offered as a sacrifice to Amphitrite, the wife of the sea god, as proof of great love." The mermaid smiled slightly, revealing teeth as beautiful as polished shells, reflecting a captivating beauty in the night sky.

  Helen and Lius smiles froze instantly.

  A group of tigerhead sharks surrounded the raft, a total of twelve riders, the bamboo raft was immediately surrounded and became inaccessible, several tigerhead shark riders were squeezed out, holding onto the shark under them, making a beautiful jump, leaping out of the water, performing a beautiful somersault over the raft, the seven-meter-long tigerhead shark fell into the dark sea water, without even creating a ripple, demonstrating their stunning underwater riding skills.

  Liu Zhens gaze swept coldly over the shark heads that were close at hand, and the intense smell of blood came from their serrated mouths in waves. On the head that resembled a tigers, the black "king" character between its eyebrows seemed to highlight its ferocious aura even more.

  Guo Guo stood on Liu Zhens shoulders, baring his teeth and making a scary face, trying to intimidate the tiger shark in front of him.

  Helen also summoned Acidic Liquid Eagle, making preparations for battle.

  Two people answered the inexplicable and ridiculous multiple-choice question of The Little Mermaid with the most practical action.

  Liu Zhens mouth corner was raised with a slight sneer, holding the bamboo pole in his hand, quietly gazing at the mermaid princess.

  His smile seemed to be gazing at an Olympian among the gods, winning the idiotic laurel wreath of the champion.

  The mermaid princess was apparently very surprised at this result, with a hint of surprise and interest, looking at the pair of mandarin ducks in front of her, whose bravery was beyond her expectation.

  "Fox girl, tell me your name." The mermaid said in a tone that brooked no argument, her tail slapping lazily against the waves beneath the reef.

  "I am Byakuren Hijiri, the shrine maiden who sings to the spirits, Helena Lena, at your service." The little fox still maintained an impeccable noble demeanor.

  "Who would have thought that you, a Fox girl, are also a Sacrifice?" The Mermaid Princess sneered: "A Fox beauty, in the human nations of the Aegean continent, is worth around 5,000 gold coins. If shes a Sacrifice, the price might be even higher. Shouldnt I capture you alive and sell you to those evil humans?"

  Helens body was trembling slightly, but she still maintained her pride, staring at the malicious smile of the mermaid princess without retreating.

  "What about me?" Liu Zhen said, pointing to his own super-large nose: "Are you going to sell me to a brothel to be a gigolo?"

  "Matchikas ritual sacrifice..." The mermaid frowned slightly, "Your tone is completely unbecoming of a refined noble!"

  "Youre right, I havent obtained a noble title yet." Liu Zhen acknowledged himself.

  "I really cant imagine, the most beautiful woman in the Aegean continent, why would she fall for you, a Piggu tribe known for laziness, gluttony, sleepiness and ugliness? Although youre a priest, what does that even represent? Your demonic pets are not even worthy of my attention, fragile like a clamshell. Why do you still dare to defy my will? What makes you think you can?" The mermaids voice was as enchanting as it was illusory.

  "Are all Pigu people really that despicable?" Liu Zhenhong poked his own chest and said: "Your Highness, dont be blinded by ordinary appearances, you come from a kingdom in the sea, what right do you have to make such arbitrary judgments about us, the warriors who walk on land?"

  "How dare you challenge the strongest warrior of the entire ocean?" The mermaid princess seemed to find it more and more interesting, even the tiger-headed shark knights beside her burst out laughing.

  "We have a proverb in Mongolia......" Liu Zhen shook his head and started making it up on the spot: "The God of War has given us humility, but never take that as a weakness."

  "Challenging the strong is an honor beyond compare for every Bammon, whether in victory or defeat." Helen said coldly.

  "Foolish sacrifices." The mermaid was apparently also enraged, "Richard, go teach them about their ignorance and arrogance, show them what real power looks like."

  A most majestic shark knight brandished the bone fork in his hand, driving the tiger-headed shark to charge out of the formation. His wild eyes revealed his violent temperament, and his bulging muscles hinted at his destructive power.

  "Just one?" Liu Zhen shook his head and pointed: "All of you come up together."

  "Arrogant and ignorant Bimon!" The Tiger Shark Knights roar was like a giant thunder in the storm, "I, Tiger Shark Knight Richard Creighton, will tear you apart within three breaths, making you the main course of my shark dinner, and your magical pet as dessert!"

  "Hold on..." Liu Zhen asked: "If we beat you, then your partners will challenge us one by one, isnt that a hassle? Im doing this for your own good..."

  "Silence!" The mermaid princess could no longer hold back: "Foolish land creature! Your ignorance is as boundless as the incompetence of your gods! If you can defeat my knight Richard, I will let bygones be bygones and release you and this Fox girl. From now on, the waters of the Western Empire will be open to you without hindrance!"

  Haha, Ive been waiting for you to say that. Liu Zhen was secretly pleased in his heart, but still maintained a calm expression on his face.

  Richards tiger shark knight leaped from the back of his mount, landing on a bamboo raft that rocked violently under his massive form.

  "Let your wretched beast attack me!" Richard Tiger Shark Knight threw the huge bone fork to his companion, rubbed the huge palm connected to the fin, and laughed wildly at Liu Zhen.

  The Shark Knights loud laughter echoed all around.

  "Clownfish!"

  "Haha!! A model who can only hide in her shell!"

  "Youre just a shrimp suited for playing in shallow waters!"

  Waves of maniacal laughter accompanied by insults and ridicule poured down on Liu Zhen like a swarm of bees.

  Helen was thoroughly enraged, and the mermaid princesss words "Your ignorance is as boundless as your impotent gods" ignited her sacrilegious pride like a raging flame.

  But her anger was instantly suppressed by the extremely compelling shark knight in front of her, two meters tall, a whole head taller than Liu Zhen, and his body was also bigger by more than one circle, the entire raft was tilted to his side, from which it can be seen that the weight of this Gablin tribes magic shark knight is terrifying.

  The terror of the Hai tribe, as well as the legends about them, have been widely recorded and passed down on the mainland. 2,000 years ago, a prominent storm tearing technique master - that is, a magician in the Hai tribe - once studied out an ultra-strong water boundary, allowing the Hai tribe army, which could not leave the water surface for a long time, to break free from the constraints of the ocean and invade the land.

  It was just a Xiyaha sea nation, but it made the entire Aegean continent bleed, and all humans, demons, elves, and dwarves had to unite to barely defeat this sea nation army. The aquatic clan of the demon tribe also suffered heavy casualties in that sea-land war, with only one-tenth remaining, and never recovered from then on.

  The vast ocean makes the nations in the sea more massive than those on land, with a greater number of complex and diverse species. The intelligent humans in the sea also possess stronger bodies and smarter minds than their counterparts on land.

  If it werent for the merfolk magician who invented the complex water seal dying in battle against humans, the merfolk army might have already swept across the Aegean continent.

  Helen clearly knew what kind of strength the Gablin tribes shark knight in front of her possessed. In the great war between land and sea 2,000 years ago, the Gablin tribes shark people were the main force of the marine corps, with strong bodies, sharp teeth, and whether on land or in water, they were truly the overlords. Their fierce combat power was not something that humans could contend with, only the strongest warriors like the Olphen tribes giant elephant warriors and the Peril tribes violent bear warriors had the ability to engage in a head-on battle with them.

  The Gablin Sharkmen are feared not only for their robust bodies, but also for the innate water magic they possess, which is a deep-seated reason for their opponents to be wary of them. The Gablin Shark warriors have extremely ferocious personalities, and once they are defeated by an opponent, they will even go so far as to self-destruct their own bodies. Due to the hard surface of their bodies being like mirrors, they can often reassemble the corpses into a complete human shape after self-destruction.

  The exploits of the Gablin tribes shark warriors have left an indelible mark, whether in the songs of human bards or in Bimuns epics.

  Helen couldnt help but worry, and had to worry. The Pigmen of the Pigg tribe were not good at fighting or combat, they were far more interested in breeding offspring and enjoying food than other races. A Pigg warrior versus a Gablin Shark warrior, even if the Pigg was a holy altar sacrifice, the difference in strength would be huge, because the Shark warrior had not only fierce physical attack power but also possessed magical powers, the gap was just too big.

  Richard didnt even have a Pokémon, and there wasnt a single one around him that could compare to Moltres as a follower. The only Snowy Pichu under his command was more like an adopted son than a Pokémon. It couldnt be said that it was good at fighting, but it was quite skilled at drinking and eating. Its magical abilities were also extremely poor.

  But all of this was already too late for Helen and Richard to sort out.

  Because Liu Zhen had already clashed with that Gabrin tribes Devil Shark Knight.

  Kodo Beast ~ Hehe ~~ All I can say is that in the future, Helen has a pet called Komodo War Giant Beast. It can communicate mysteriously with the spirits of clouds and thunder, possessing dual-system magic attacks and a robust body.

  Yesterday I wrote Xiao Zhous English name wrong, it should be JAY, but I wrote JET instead. Dizzy to death.

  From now on, pay attention to removing some remaining things from the past in your writing. In the past, my writing was too flashy and bloody, with a strong aftertaste of fate, but thats all gone now. This is a comedy, the protagonist will always be fine, and even bad luck cant stop him.

  From now on, image links will use CG as much as possible.

  I dont play games, this books background refers to the Beastman Empire, but I added a lot of things to it, and after releasing the new book list, I will release all the background settings for everyone to discuss together.
