What's going on? asked Jiang Fei as he approached the Fishmen that were gathered around something .

Look! Explorer! Look! said the Elder Fishman as he brought Jiang Fei to the center of the courtyard . Well, technically, it was not even considered as a courtyard as it was just the beach with a small bonfire in the middle . The place would change from time to time but as long as there was a bonfire, it served as the gathering point to distribute fishes to the entire tribe .

There was usually a tarp made of seaweed used to store fishes but this time, instead of fishes, there was a fish . To be precise, a Mermaid . The little girl was beautiful .

Jiang Fei's heart literally skipped a beat when he laid eyes on the unconscious Mermaid . Everything about her was perfect . Her complexion, body, especially those massive bombs that were about to explode from her crop top!

Jiang Fei's eyes trailed down to her lower half of the body . As a Mermaid, she did not have legs, instead, she had a long beautiful, glittering fishtail . Sadly, she had lost many of her scales and there was blood oozing out from a few spots . The blood was dark red, almost one shade close to being black . It was as if she had been poisoned . The wounds on her tail were obvious as the blood would not stop flowing . It looked like she had been bitten by a large megalodon . From the looks of it, she had lost too much blood . Be it the effects of the poison or blood loss, this poor little Mermaid would die if Jiang Fei did not do something .

Injured Little Mermaid Princess (Mermaid, High Lord)

Level: 88

Health Points: 12,755 / 45,000,000

Note: The Eldest Princess of the Merfolk .

Jiang Fei had a quick look at her stats and confirmed that she had taken too much damage . The little Mermaid had only 0 . 03% of her total health left . She was dying .

What happened to her? asked Jiang Fei .

Merfolk and Fishman were different species, obviously . The Fishmen race was nothing but the jester of the sea . Struggling to even survive in a non-hostile environment . Jiang Fei had even seen how their war was and could not even consider them as a proper civilization .

The Merfolk race, on the other hand, were the kings of the sea . Even though the war between the Celestials and the Nephilims had been going on for centuries, the two races had never once crossed the borders of the ocean . There were two races that ruled over the oceans; the Merfolk and the Nagas .

Merfolk were considered as half humanoids since they possessed the upper body similar to that of a human and the lower half of a fish . The Nagas were different, they had the lower half of a snake . The two races had self-declared to be the rulers of the oceans . The Merfolk specialized in magic and had a natural affinity to water . Nagas, on the other hand, were natural born warriors . Newborn Nagas had two arms and as they grew older and stronger, new arms would grow . Most of them had six arms and sometimes even eight arms . If the Merfolk or the Nagas were serious, not even the Celestials or the Demons could stand against them, especially the Nagas for their strength allowed them to fight a dragon toe to toe .

There was a saying that there cannot be two lions in a pride . Even though the ocean was as big as the world was, it was still too small for two rulers . Hence, as proud as they could be, the Nagas and the Merfolk were natural enemies and would never bow down to anyone besides their own kin .

The moment Jiang Fei asked the Fishmen about the cause of the little Mermaid's injuries, every single Fishmen answered the same thing, the Nagas . The poor Mermaid was attacked by them and was brought ashore by the kind yet cowardly Fishmen tribe .

Great Explorer, can you save her? said the elder Fishman as he pleaded Jiang Fei .

Do you know her? asked Jiang Fei .

But of course! This is the beloved daughter of the Master of the Seven Seas, King Elric . Her ruling grounds include this island of ours . Hence, we are her subjects . If she perishes here, the great King Elric would surely have us all killed! cried the elder .

Master of the Seven Seas? Sounds amazing! said Jiang Fei .

Don't be impressed by the title . The seven seas are just a small territory in the Sea of Purgatory . At best, King Elric is only as strong as an Overlord . He and the Tyrant of the Ocean, Morgan, are currently disputing sovereignty over the Eastern Sea of the Sea of Purgatory . As a matter of fact, the two rulers had come up with their own titles! It was a childish competition of who could name themselves better . If it isn't in the waters, my brother alone could defeat over ten of them combined! said Isabella as she snickered away .

I see, Jiang Fei replied . The already deceased Curtis aside, Jiang Fei had witnessed the overwhelming power of Otis, the Elder Prince . Even though he was only a mid-tier Overlord, it would not be strange for him to defeat a few low tier Overlord boss .

So Are we going to let this go? asked Jiang Fei as he pointed at the bleeding Mermaid princess .

He had more than enough Underwater Breathing Potion for him to sustain his entire hunting duration . To him, saving the Mermaid and the wellbeing of the Fishman was not of his concern . Saving the Mermaid was optional . Leaving her to die would do nothing to Jiang Fei, saving her would earn him a good treasure, perhaps . Jiang Fei was worried about not being able to get enough compensation for his deeds!

Save her then, said Isabella .

Huh? Are you sure? Didn't you act out when I tried to save Sylphy that one time? said Jiang Fei as he grinned .

Hey! I didn't act out alright? I'm only asking you to save her, not court the poor Mermaid! said Isabella as she pouted and sulked . The only reason she wanted Jiang Fei to rescue the Mermaid was to gain benefit for the Demon race .

The war between the Light and the Shadow had spanned far too long . Having the Dragon race on their side was good leverage to the Light Faction . Besides that, almost all races and species were already involved in this war . Still, both sides were equally strong and the war was in a stalemate . Having to get the Merfolk on their side would be borrowing the power of the oceans! The Demon race would gain a powerful ally and might even win the war .

Very well, my princess . Don't regret this later! said Jiang Fei . He did not think as far as Isabella and had only thought about gaining the fastest interest by saving the daughter of King Elric .

Thank you, great Explorer! Please save her quick! She cannot die here! She cannot die on this island! cried the elder Fishman . Jiang Fei was almost thrown when he heard the last sentence . He was basically saying that the princess could die anywhere else but the Fishmen's island!

I hope that your daddy would bestow us some good stuff! Or my good stuff would go to waste! said Jiang Fei as he took out an item from his inventory .

Blood Lingzhi Mushroom (Herb, Epic)

Use: Produce Potions .

Note: A powerful herb with superior healing properties .

Jiang Fei had only seven of these in the beginning . Reviving Isabella had consumed five and he had used one of them to trade for an Elemental Water from the Elven Queen . That piece of mushroom was the last one in his inventory .

Even though it was priceless, the superior healing properties could not be applied to players . Players would only need healing potion or even a healer to recover fully . This Blood Lingzhi Mushroom's function was to bring NPCs back from the dead . No matter how severe the wounds were, as long as the mushroom was applied, the NPC would be revived .

HRRGH!

Jiang Fei slammed the mushroom in his hand and ground it into tiny irregular sized pieces . After that, he spread them all onto the Mermaid's wound .

Once the mushroom pieces seeped into the body, more dark-red blood oozed out immediately . After a while, the blood turned lighter . Soon, the bleeding stopped once the blood returned to its original red color . The wounds started to heal and the scales started to grow back . The already glistering tail became more beautiful as the Mermaid slowly regained her health .
