Chapter 1092: Chapter 1091: Consequences
The Mermaid Leader was moved due to the situation, her beautiful eyes brimming with tears as she looked at the three people before her, unable to speak for a moment.
The Mermaid Leader’s captivating appearance once again touched Ruoran and Ba Lvluo, these two kind-hearted girls were determined to do everything they could to save these beautiful creatures, helping them escape their doomed fate.
Jiang Cheng was not as sentimental or easily moved as his two female disciples; he was more concerned with substantive issues.
Now, we need to know the approximate number of Sea Wolves," He said, looking at the Mermaid Leader, "Can you roughly estimate how many there might be?"
The Mermaid Leader furrowed her brows, meeting Jiang Cheng’s inquiring gaze, and she shook her head: "I don’t know, but I feel there are many."
Jiang Cheng said, "My opinion is quite the opposite. Based on the size of the Sea Wolves, I believe their numbers shouldn’t be too high."
"Here’s the plan, you tell me where their habitat is, and I’ll go take a look. Maybe I’ll discover something."
The Mermaid Leader was shocked to hear Jiang Cheng’s words, and she hurriedly tried to dissuade him: "Kind sir, I know your abilities are great, but as you mentioned, they are ocean creatures, and in the water, they are extremely fierce."
I do not wish for you to risk yourself for us." The Mermaid Leader said, "If anything happens to you, I, I..." She couldn’t continue.
Indeed, Mermaids are kind-hearted beings, Jiang Cheng and Ruoran found themselves more fond of them.
Teacher, we will go with you." Yanran was also a bit worried about Jiang Cheng.
Although her teacher was very powerful, that was on land; she had never seen her teacher fight enemies in the water.
Ba Lv also requested from the side: "Teacher, I will go with you. I am very good with water."
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "I’m not going to fight, why do I need you all to follow?"
Besides, the more people we bring, the more likely we might alert those Sea Wolves, which would defeat our purpose.
He looked at the Mermaid Leader and said, "The scenery here is nice, if you have time, you can take my two disciples to tour."
The Mermaid Leader said, "Kind sir, I must remind you, going to the Sea Wolves’ habitat is very dangerous, I hope you don’t take the risk."
Jiang Cheng waved his hand: "You just need to tell me where exactly they are."
According to the Mermaid Leader, the Sea Wolves’ habitat wasn’t very far from here, initially, the Sea Wolves hadn’t developed the ability to withstand the Mermaids’ sonic shocks; they were once driven far away by the Mermaids, and for a long time, they did not come to harass them again.
The Mermaids thought they had solved the issue like that, so after the Sea Wolves left their sight, they resumed their carefree life.
Unexpectedly, just over a year later, those Sea Wolves returned again.
This time, though they still had no effective way to deal with the Mermaids’ sonic attacks, they relied on their tough skin and flesh, retreating only when they could truly no longer withstand it.
Furthermore, they had discovered the routine of the Mermaids’ lives; no matter how long they played outside, they were sure to return to their habitat at night.
So, the cunning Sea Wolves often hid on the Mermaids’ return path, waiting to ambush them.
Such attacks had caused the Mermaids to suffer quite a number of losses.
With no choice, the Mermaid Leader ordered that unless there were special circumstances, all members were forbidden from going out, they must stay underwater.
Although the leader issued such strict orders, how could those young Mermaids be willing to stay in this small bay and watch the vast ocean from afar every day?
In order to gather intelligence about the Sea Wolves, to learn more about their situation, Jiang Cheng decided to scout the Sea Wolves’ habitat to assess their numbers.
The helpless Mermaid Leader repeatedly tried to dissuade Jiang Cheng from going, believing that despite Jiang Cheng’s great abilities, venturing deep into the Sea Wolves’ territory was far too dangerous.
Even Jiang Cheng’s two disciples, Ruoran and Ba Lv, were afraid he might encounter danger and hoped to accompany him.
Jiang Cheng refused them, after all, he was going to scout, not fight, and even if a fight occurred, his disciples would be of no use if even he could face danger.
The Sea Wolves’ habitat wasn’t very far, Jiang Cheng suspected that perhaps those cunning creatures sensed that the Mermaids’ threat to them wasn’t very large, so they chose to settle their habitat close to the Mermaids.
In the past, facing the danger at their doorstep, the Mermaids could only resort to avoidance, staying inside the bay to avoid encountering the enemy.
Though the Mermaid Leader issued strict commands, there were always some young Mermaids who couldn’t resist the allure of the wide world outside, sneaking out to play despite being aware of the danger.
The Sea Wolves had already become familiar with their routine, and they would often lie in wait on the Mermaids’ return path in packs.
Thus, for them, death was often fate as they fell prey to the Sea Wolves, with nearly this as their outcome.
Following the Mermaid Leader’s directions, Jiang Cheng arrived at the Sea Wolves’ habitat after some time.
Before Jiang Cheng was an array of islands of varying sizes, which was where the Sea Wolves resided.
From a distance, Jiang Cheng noticed the frequent appearances of Sea Wolves on those islands.
Releasing the bubble covering his body, Jiang Cheng sank into the sea.
Though fully submerged, breathing presented no issue for Jiang Cheng.
Inside his body, his breath could continuously circulate, which was also the reason he could traverse space for long periods.
The water, however, slowed his movements a bit.
Jiang Cheng slowly approached the islands underwater.
The Mermaid Leader led Ruoran and Ba Lv around the sea, exploring.
At this moment, her mood was particularly good, with these three aliens backing them, an otherwise heavy burden seemed lighter.
No matter the outcome of the alien man’s scouting mission to the Sea Wolves’ habitat, it wouldn’t affect the plan they already devised.
In these three aliens’ plan, they would fully utilize the characteristics of the Mermaids’ habitat, using them as bait to lure the Sea Wolves inside, then blocking their path of retreat for a "trap and catch," eliminating those Sea Wolves entering the bay.
The Mermaid Leader realized that these three aliens genuinely wanted to help them.
