Very quickly, half a day passed and an island appeared in front of Mo Nian, Mo Yan and the rest.
“That’s our Mermaid Island!” Mo Nian said.
“Let’s hurry over. The other should be back soon!” Mo Nian said.
“The others?” Mo Yan asked curiously.
“Yes, our Island Master has sent out ten groups. Each group has five members to look for mermaids in the surrounding waters and invite them to live on our island!” Mo Nian answered.
“Could it be… could it be that each of the members has a Rank One Novice mermaid?” Mo Yan asked in surprise, as she thought of something.
“No, there are 200 mermaids on the entire island. Only four of them have the strength of a Rank One Novice, but it won’t be long before many of the rest reach a strength of a Rank One!” Mo Nian laughed when she saw Mo Yan’s shocked expression..
“Thank goodness, thank goodness. I thought that every team had a Rank One Novice mermaid… How strong would this island be?” Mo Yan heaved a sigh of relief.
They swam quickly and gradually got closer and closer to the island!
When they were about ten miles away, Mo Nian spotted the other groups returning to the island.
“Mo Nian! You found mermaids! That’s great, I found some too!” the mermaid swimming up to Mo Nian said happily.
“Yes! We have completed the mission!” Mo Nian replied happily.
“Hello! My name is Mo Wen! Like Mo Nian, I’m also a resident of the island in front of you! Welcome to the island!” Mo Wen swam up to Mo Yan’s side and said with a smile.
“Hello! I’m Mo Yan! Nice to meet you!” Mo Yan replied.
The two mermaids chatted briefly before swimming toward the small island together.
After a long time, Mo Nian and the rest finally arrived at the island. Mo Yan and the rest were instantly mesmerized by its scenery.
On the shore, there were rows of coconut trees, banana trees, and some fruits suitable for mermaids. A waterfall flowed down from the highest point and into the lake in the center of the island. From time to time, there would be a few mermaids playing around in the lake, and the crisp sounds lingered in her ears.
The water was so clear that one could see to its bottom. There were also many colorful fish swimming around in the water. Seeing such a scenery, one could not help but feel refreshed.
“Wow! Chief! It’s so beautiful! There’s so much food! Look! There’s even a weapon! This is great!” The mermaids beside Mo Yan cheered.
For a moment, they forgot about their miserable state when they were being chased. They forgot about the wounds on their bodies. The scenery fascinated them.
“Let’s go! I’ll bring you to see our Island Master!” Mo Nian said.
Mo Yan and the others reluctantly shifted their gaze away from the scenery and followed Mo Nian to the center of the island where Lei Xiu lived. They fantasized about what kind of person the Island Master would be.
…
“Second Brother! This island is so beautiful! No wonder those mermaids live here! Look! There are so many mermaids there!” The group of Sharks following behind Mo Nian also came up and their eyes lit up.
“Second Brother, look over there! There’s a turret!” the Razor Tiger Shark exclaimed in surprise. To their knowledge, mermaids were a group of unarmed creatures. They had actually discovered a turret on this island!
“What secrets does this island hold? How could these mermaids possess such power?” Second Brother murmured to himself as he looked at the island.
“Second Brother! Why don’t we go in and scout around?” A Razor Tiger Shark spoke up as he prepared to enter.
“No, we should wait outside and observe the situation. Wait for the Clan Head to come! However, we can’t stay idle either. We have to observe the surroundings of the island!” Second Brother said, while stopping the Razor Tiger Shark who was about to rush in.
“Yes!” The dozens of Razor Tiger Sharks said respectfully. Now that their Young Clan Head was dead, Second Brother was the head. No one dared to disobey his orders.
Hence, the sharks began to split into teams and observe the island in all directions.
…
At this moment, Mo Nian and the rest finally arrived at the center of the island.
“Lei Xiu Island Master!” Mo Nian said with a smile as she looked at the figure resting with his eyes closed under the sun.
“Mo Nian! You’re back! Did you find the mermaids?” Lei Xiu opened his eyes and smiled when he saw Mo Nian.
“Lei Xiu Island Master! Look!” Mo Nian moved to the side as she spoke, allowing Lei Xiu’s gaze to fall upon Mo Yan and her company.
Lei Xiu was overjoyed when he saw the 40 plus mermaids.
“Good, good! Mo Nian, you guys did well!” Lei Xiu said happily.
“Hello! My name is Mo Yan! I am the chief of this group of mermaids!” Mo Yan stepped out and spoke timidly.
“Mo Yan! Welcome!” Lei Xiu replied.
Following that, Lei Xiu had a simple conversation with the other scattered mermaids. As usual, he made the mermaids swear the oath.
“Lei Xiu Island Master! We were chased back here! The ones chasing us are the overlords of the sea, the Razor Tiger Sharks! Will they bring you trouble?” Mo Yan asked worriedly.
“Don’t worry! Since you’ve joined Mermaid Island, we’ll protect you!” Lei Xiu replied.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the main mission. You have received 50 experience points, and 10,000 gold coins.]
The system’s voice sounded. At the same time, Lei Xiu looked at the attributes panel of Mermaid Island.
Ranch: Mermaid Island
Mermaid Number: 300
Output: 600 gold coins per hour
Fortifications: 30 water turrets (Six level 2 turrets, twenty-four level 1 turrets)
“Now I don’t have to worry about gold coins anymore! This way, those water turrets can also be upgraded!” Lei Xiu thought to himself and then prepared to upgrade the water turret.
“Mo Nian! Show them around this island!” Lei Xiu turned around and said.
Lei Xiu opened the system interface and found the Water Cannon Tower. With a few selections, the number of gold coins in Lei Xiu’s hands instantly decreased from 50,000 to 20,000. Of course, this time, Lei Xiu did not feel the pinch.
The level-one water cannon turrets around the island also emitted rumbling sounds. It was obvious that they were currently undergoing upgrading.
After returning to the beach, Lei Xiu continued to bask in the sun while waiting.
…
Not far away, there were hundreds of Razor Tiger Sharks swimming at the bottom of the sea. As time passed, they got closer and closer to the island.
“Patriarch! It’s the sharks that accompanied the Young Patriarch!” Shark Kui said.
“Greetings, Patriarch!” Clearly, those Razor Tiger Sharks had also noticed the arrival of their clansmen and spoke out respectfully.
“Tell me! What’s going on!” Shark Yi looked at the small island and said indifferently.
“Patriarch! It’s like this…”
The Razor Tiger Shark called Second Brother immediately explained to the rest of the sharks.
“Is that so… it seems this island is the key to these mermaids’strength increase…” Shark Yi’s aged eyes flashed with a sharp light.
“Clansmen! Prepare for battle!” Shark Yi looked towards the center of the island and shouted.
This was an opportunity! Once he figured out the key to improving the strength of these mermaids, the strength of their race would be greatly enhanced! In the near future, they would definitely be able to dominate these waters!
Shark Yi led his clansmen toward the island aggressively.
The battle was about to begin!
