When you see a cockroach in the sunlight, it means the hidden places are already crowded with them.

Since a mermaid was discovered here, does it mean there's a mermaid nest nearby?

Since the Water Scale Dragon Ape wasn't present, Carson Flores wasn't inclined to meddle and was preparing to leave when suddenly, an unexpected turn of events occurred.

The middle-aged woman among the three from the Hundred Demons Sect seemed to sense something and lowered her altitude, hovering above the water surface.

The water surface suddenly exploded.

Splashes of water flew up, with some moving toward the middle-aged woman as if they were alive, while countless droplets rushed at her like bullets.

The middle-aged woman was shocked and instantly a golden light barrier appeared around her as she ascended upward.

She was fast, but the water splashes were even faster!

These exploding water sprays possessed an immeasurably terrifying power, wrapping around the middle-aged woman like a water membrane, shattering the golden barrier in an instant.

The water membrane tightened again, instantly enclosing the woman's body, and the droplets pierced through the membrane like bullets. Visibly, the membrane quickly filled with many red spots.

An invisible pulling force immediately dragged the woman underwater before the other two could assist, causing a massive splash and disturbing the once-calm lake surface.

Carson Flores watched the familiar scene unfold and was taken aback.

When he arrived earlier, he saw the turbulent water waves but not the battling sides. Now it seemed that those who had fought the berserk dragon mermaid earlier were also pulled underwater in the same manner.

As for what happened to those pulled underwater, there was no need to think—they were surely doomed.

For mermaids living in water, being in the water was like adding wings to a tiger, wasn't it?

Looking at what happened to that woman, she'd already lost much of her life force; once pulled underwater, could she survive?

The other two, seeing the woman attacked, immediately rushed close, but before they could locate their target, the berserk dragon mermaid from the depths had already launched another attack.

The overwhelming water waves, seemingly alive, swept toward the two.

These waves were imbued with powerful Spiritual Energy, and under such incredible speed, not only human bodies but even city walls or mountains could be pierced in an instant.

The two were both shocked and quickly summoned their magical treasures.

The leading man's magical treasure barely managed to blast open a gap in the enclosing sprays, and he hastily escaped through it, but the other wasn't as fortunate or skilled.

With a cry, his defense treasure burst open, and the barrier it projected shattered instantly, enveloping him in water with countless water spikes piercing his body.

"Boom"

His body plunged into the water, disappearing into the depths in an instant.

The leading man's face turned pale; he never expected the mermaid to be so formidable, killing two of them in the blink of an eye. If he stayed any longer, things looked grim for him too.

Ignoring Carson Flores and Selah Ellison Immortal Lord nearby, he transformed into a streak of golden light and swiftly fled into the distance.

Selah Ellison Immortal Lord softly praised, "Such a powerful water control skill; it's said the mermaid clan is naturally born with water divine skills. It seems their reputation is well-deserved!"

Carson Flores didn't want to cause trouble and whispered, "We have no quarrel with this mermaid, should we withdraw?"

Before Selah Ellison Immortal Lord could reply, an enormous wave surged skyward, soaring a thousand meters high, and came surging toward them.

Selah Ellison Immortal Lord let out a cold snort, extended her right hand, and pushed into the void.

An invisible barrier appeared in the air, instantly blocking the mighty wave, unable to advance even an inch past the Thunder Pool.

Carson Flores silently praised, worthy of the Immortal Monarch!

The mermaid had consecutively slain two formidable Demon Race members, yet was casually stopped by Selah Ellison Immortal Lord, demonstrating her formidable strength.

The waves crashed back onto the lake's surface, resounding with a thunderous roar.

A pillar of water shot up from the depths, and a cyan figure stood atop it.

Carson Flores' gaze fell upon the cyan figure, instantly piquing his curiosity.

Is this a mermaid?

A sturdy and tall figure, human-faced and human-bodied, with powerful hands and feet, all webbed, a dorsal fin-like feature on his back resembling a shark's, and a tail trailing behind like that of a crocodile's.

The mermaid held a trident in its hand, looking extremely imposing.

Carson Flores glanced down at the water surface, feeling neither fear nor awe, only a bit puzzled; was there only one mermaid?

The mermaid did not attack again but inquired, "Are you from the Immortal Palace Envoy?"

Not attacking directly?

Carson Flores readily admitted, "Yes."

The mermaid continued, "Are you looking for the Water Scale Dragon Ape?"

Carson Flores' eyes slightly brightened, "Yes, do you know?"

The mermaid nodded, "What are you seeking the Water Scale Dragon Ape for?"

Carson Flores honestly replied, "To acquire the Water Scale Dragon Ape's blood for medicine, not common blood but the Heart's Blood."

The mermaid graveled, "How about a trade with me?"

Carson Flores was quite surprised; the mermaid wanted to trade with him?

Or perhaps, a transaction with the Celestial Palace?

Either way, having information on the Water Scale Dragon Ape's whereabouts was good news. Carson Flores promptly asked, "Do tell!"
