Blue, Red and White Dark Abyss Cauldron

Chapter 14: Battle with Mermaids

When the mermaids swam to a distance of 30 to 40 feet from the fleet, they slowed down and circled around the fleet. Some mermaids jumped out of the water from time to time, making strange noises, including "snow country", "death", "kill all", etc., which made people shudder.

When the people of the Snow Country saw that the mermaids were just circling around and not attacking the boat, they were a little confused. The anxious and bolder ones stood by the boat and started cursing, using a lot of foul language.

The mermaids just swam around the big ship on their own, ignoring the insults from the people of the Snow Country. Perhaps they simply couldn't understand those abusive words.

After another half hour, the sun set over the sea and the sky became much darker.

The mermaid became excited because of this, and its strange cries became louder and more complex, and the number of times it jumped out of the water also increased significantly, one after another, with a splashing sound.

Bai Yixing, Hu Yong and others suddenly realized that these mermaids were not unwilling to attack the ship, but were waiting for dark!

As for the mermaids, because their skin is slippery and cannot be exposed to the sun for a long time, and they have lived in the deep ravines of the West Sea for a long time, their eyes are accustomed to weak or no light environments... The Snow Country people are unaware of these reasons.

The reason why the mermaids circled the ship without attacking was not only because they were not used to the strong light environment, but also because they wanted to confuse the enemy so that the opponent would be frightened and lose their fighting spirit.

Before long, some of the Snow Country people with weak wills began to get scared. They couldn't help but breathe rapidly, their hands and feet trembled, and they dropped their weapons to the ground with a clang.

Bai Yixing shouted loudly: "If you want to survive, cheer up! These mermaids are monsters that have not yet transformed into human form. In terms of strategy and martial arts, they are no match for us Snow Country people. As long as everyone works together, they will definitely not be our opponents!"

Everyone knew that this was just a soothing statement from the master. These mermaids looked ferocious, and their bodies seemed to be taller than the average Snow Country people. Moreover, the sea was their territory. Everyone was skeptical of Bai Yixing's words, "They are definitely not our opponents."

Because he was the master of the fleet, it was difficult for everyone to refute him. If someone else had said the same thing, they would have probably been scolded.

Although the crowd didn't want to scold him, their morale was very low and many people were whispering. Many of them were discussing where to hide if they couldn't win, and what methods they could use to escape.

Bai Yixing was anxious, but helpless.

The sky seemed to be slowly being drawn by someone, and it finally got darker, and the howling sea breeze blew faster and louder...

Bai Yixing ordered people to light all the braziers at the stern, and also ordered people to find some stone jars and pottery jars, fill them with fish oil and other things, light them, and place them on the side of the boat. Suddenly, the boat was brightly lit, as if it were daytime.

After a while, the sky became darker and the mermaids finally couldn't hold back any longer.

There was a sound of splashing water, and dozens of mermaids suddenly jumped out from the water around the boats and jumped high into the air. They were unaware that swords and knives were tied to the railings of the big ships, so they reached out and grabbed them.

However, they didn't know that the target of their attacks was not a wooden railing, but an extremely sharp sword with the blade facing upwards. The mermaids were completely unprepared, and their webbed hands were immediately cut with blood. Some of the mermaids even had half of their palms cut off because of the heavy force.

The mermaids screamed and fell back into the sea.

Some of those who were lightly injured still bravely boarded the ship, not afraid of the large number of Snow Country people on board.

However, there were more people from the Snow Country standing by the boat waiting for them to board and die. They shouted and rushed over to slash and kill the mermaids who were about to board the boat, killing seven or eight of them immediately. Then they kicked their bodies into the sea.

A few of them jumped onto the deck, but were hacked to death by the numerous Snow Country people, leaving them in a miserable state.

However, these mermaids were extremely cruel and killed several Snow Country people even at the risk of their lives. A mermaid whose leg was chopped off saw a Snow Country man next to him, so he grabbed his trouser leg and dragged him to the ground, then he pushed himself up, pounced on the man and bit his neck fiercely. He refused to let go even though the Snow Country people hacked and chopped him.

The man who was bitten screamed loudly, but his throat was bitten off by the mermaid and he gradually lost his breath. His death was horrifying and chilling.

Bai Yixing was furious. He rushed over and cut off the mermaid's arm with a knife. Then he stabbed the long knife into the mermaid's chest with great force and finally killed the mermaid.

This was his first time killing a living being, and it was a creature that was not much different from a human. His heart couldn't help but pound.

After a group of mermaids jumped out of the sea, two more groups of similar number jumped out and prepared to board the ship. As expected, they all fell into the trap set by the Snow Country people with tied knives, and were injured one after another and fled into the sea.

In this round of attack on the ships, about twenty mermaids were killed, and about fifty or sixty were injured, either lightly or seriously. They did not dare to go out of the water to seize the ships for a while, but after falling into the water, they still swam around the fleet and did not leave.

Eight people died and more than a dozen were injured on the No. A ship where Bai Yixing was. The situation on the other four ships was probably similar.

Although the people of Snow White are naturally brave, those on the ship are poor people who would rather run around to make a living. How could they have ever seen such a bloody scene?

Some timid people saw the blood all over the deck of the ship, broken limbs everywhere, wounded people crying out, and corpses lying all over the place... They immediately felt great fear, their hands and feet became weak, and they couldn't even hold their swords.

Bai Yixing shouted in panic, but at this critical moment when his life was at stake, who would care about the scolding from his master?

The frustrated mermaids did not leave, but continued to swim rapidly around the fleet, occasionally jumping out of the water and shouting loudly. The shouts were sharp and piercing, like the cry of an owl in the middle of the night, which was chilling.

The sky was dark, and the atmosphere of terror was like invisible chains wrapped around the ship, growing thicker and tighter, almost suffocating the Snow Country people on the ship.

The more timid ones felt their hands and feet go limp, dropped their swords, and hid in the narrow cabins.

Although Bai Yixing was uneducated, he had learned a lesson from the gang fights in the streets of Ice City, which was that when two parties fought, although strength played a major role in determining the outcome, momentum was also very important.

There are even precedents where a party with fewer people and obviously weaker strength, but with a ruthless spirit of not fearing death, was able to defeat a party with more people and stronger strength.

Although their side had the upper hand in the close combat just now, the Snow Country people only took advantage of the high position on the boat and set traps, but in terms of momentum, they were completely defeated.

The mermaids did not leave, and were obviously preparing to attack again. If this fear was allowed to spread, the next battle would be a complete defeat. Not to mention that the goods on the five ships would be lost, I'm afraid everyone would die without a burial place.
