Chapter 418 - The Merman Encounters the Leopard (2/2)

There was a saying in the world of beastmen: Where there’s water, there will be merfolk.

The current of the river at the foot of the shrub mountain was swift. The silhouette of a blue fish could be seen swimming upstream. It was one of the merfolk.

Bluepool looked left and right as he swam.

Where could the leopard beastman have taken the female? Rescuing the female on his own would be best, but if he couldn’t, he had to at least find strong clues so that he could convince King to step in.

Bluepool didn’t think that things would go so smoothly. The moment he exited the water, he bumped into the annoying land beastman.

He immediately went back into the water and hid among the weeds as he spied on him.

Parker was walking along the river and decided to stop for a drink.

“Roar?” With his keen senses, Parker felt himself being watched. He instantly became alert, and his body straightened up as he turned to glare at the bunch of weeds.

Oh, no. I’ve been discovered.

Bluepool promptly swung his tail and escaped. Although he was also a three-striped beastman, he would be at a huge disadvantage as he was on land, and he wouldn’t be able to fight well in such a small river.

Parker’s eyes suddenly widened upon seeing a fishtail.

What a huge fish!

“Howl!”

Parker’s hunting instincts caused him to jump into the river without thinking. He paddled around and stuck his head in the water.

The river water was blurry due to the fish’s movements. Parker narrowed his eyes and swam forward, but the fish was nowhere to be seen.

Eh? Where’s the fish? Where could such a huge fish hide?

Parker raised his head. His whole body was submerged in the water. After fruitlessly paddling for a while, he went ashore in defeat.

Bluepool worriedly turned back to look towards the river as he rushed towards the ocean.

This land beastman is so barbaric that he tried to hunt me! But he was too naive in thinking he could do so underwater.
