Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Bai Yu mimicked his gesture, pointing to herself and saying in mermaid language, "My name is Bai Yu."

Akahoshi followed suit, wanting to learn what the mermaids said.

Bai Yu quickly realized that the cub could understand him, so he directly asked Chi Xing to teach him human language.

Akahoshi explained to him that there are many kinds of human languages, but what they were speaking now was the most difficult language in the world, and also the most captivating.

Bai Yu became even more interested in this, and pointed to himself, asking Chi Xing to teach him to pronounce his name.

Akahoshi began to teach him word by word, and even learned the mermaid language, until the moon rose halfway up the sky, and Akahoshi's young body could not resist the sleepiness and fell asleep.

The next day, when Akahoshi opened his eyes, he didn't see Baiyu. He felt a little panicked, worried that she had just left.

He stood up on the reef and looked out to sea. On the azure surface, a beautiful mermaid with silver hair was lying on her back, basking in the sun, her eyes slightly narrowed, clearly enjoying herself.

"Ayu," Akahoshi called him softly.

Bai Yu has very sensitive hearing; he noticed Chi Xing standing up just now.

Bai Yu opened her eyes, flipped over and dived into the sea, letting out a long, hollow sound.

Not long after, Akahoshi saw something swimming towards them from the previously calm water, but it quickly disappeared back into the sea.

Soon, several blue-haired, blue-tailed mermaids emerged from the sea. They all had deep-set features, fair skin, and translucent blue fins on their ears. Their azure eyes held a wild ferocity.

Upon seeing Akahoshi, the ferocity in his eyes instantly transformed into tenderness for the cub.

"This is Wang Jian's cub?"

"This is a human cub; it has no tail."

"The king is indeed amazing; he actually raised a human."

The mermaids started chatting away, but Akahoshi, having drunk the potion, understood them easily.

Akahoshi blinked, and just as the mermaids were about to get closer to take a look, a silver streak flashed by. Akahoshi saw a large silver tail whip the mermaids away, sending them flying more than ten meters.

Another long, drawn-out cry came from Baiyu's mouth. Chixing didn't understand it, but 250 explained: "[This audio is a threat from the mermaids, probably to keep them away from you.]"

As expected, the mermaid who had been flung away quickly swam back and stopped not far from Bai Yu, her face filled with submission, not daring to look at Chi Xing again.

“You are not allowed to approach him,” Bai Yu said.

Several mermaids nodded respectfully, indicating that they would not approach.

One of the mermaids flung the seaweed she was holding behind her forward, revealing a deep-sea fish tied to it. The other mermaids did the same with the seaweed they were holding.

Bai Yu was satisfied and waved for them to leave.

Before leaving, the mermaids looked longingly at the baby on the reef. They were so cute! If only they could raise humans too.

Not daring to look any longer, for fear of being whipped by the king again, the mermaids submerged into the sea and slowly left.

"This sea area is our territory, and those were my kind. Don't be afraid, Star." Bai Yu spoke in mermaid language, while pulling one of the fish along as they slowly swam over.

Mermaids are apex predators in the sea, and most fish and shellfish are their food.

Moreover, they are incredibly powerful and strong; even the fierce adult orcas are no match for them.

Each time they encounter a mermaid, they leave on their own. Curious sharks follow behind the mermaid, but if they try to bite it, they will be flung away by the powerful mermaid tail and instantly cut in two.

Needless to say, the mermaid king's fighting power is so great that even the mermaids dare not easily anger him.

Akahoshi nodded her little head: "I'm not afraid."

But he wanted to go to the island to find some water. Akahoshi hadn't drunk any water since yesterday, and eating only fish wouldn't do.

"Ayu, I want to go inside and find water." He pointed to the woods behind him.

Bai Yu frowned and looked down at her tail.

"No, it's dangerous for you to go alone."

Chixing could only patiently explain to him that humans would die if they didn't drink water, and that he couldn't drink seawater, much less soak in the sea like Baiyu.

Finally, Baiyu made it ashore, but his tail could only move a few steps. If he walked on land for a long time, the scales on his tail would get injured.

"Wait here for me, I'll be safe."

Chixing refused to let him go with him, as he didn't want to see Baiyu get hurt.

Moreover, it would be terrible if he went in and couldn't get out. He's too small now to carry Bai Yu.

Bai Yu could only watch as Chi Xing walked into the jungle. He stood at the closest point he could reach into the jungle, holding the fish meat and watching longingly.

Chixing didn't keep him waiting long. As soon as he entered the jungle, he summoned a few wild rabbits and other edible creatures, and then found some banana leaves and washed them clean with water.

This water was all brought out by 250. Even if there is fresh water in this place, it is not easy to find. Akahoshi did not want to waste time and effort.

He knocked down a coconut, used his divine power to open the hard shell, and drank his fill. Only after all the water was gone did he clean the coconut shell and fill it with clean water.

When he came out carrying two dusty gray rabbits and a coconut of water, he saw Baiyu sitting on the beach, gently patting its tail on the ground, gazing longingly in the direction of the jungle.

When she saw Akahoshi emerge, her azure-blue eyes lit up, and she shouted at him, "You're out! Come here quickly!"

Akahoshi was given a piece of fresh, tender fish, which Shiratama had clearly just cut and chosen for him.

"I'll cook you something delicious." Chixing picked up the rabbit in her hand and showed it to Baiyu.

Bai Yu had never eaten land-based food before and was extremely curious.

Under Akahoshi's command, Shiraiyu flashed her sharp nails and killed the rabbit, then peeled off its gray skin with her bare hands and gutted it.

Akahoshi started a fire on the beach and took out some leftover seasonings from previous worlds from the system space, then spread them on the rabbit meat under cover.

Bai Yu, out of curiosity about the flames, did not see his actions.

The process of roasting rabbit is not complicated. After Akahoshi went to collect firewood, he sat on the beach with Shiratama, watching the fire and eating the fish that Shiratama brought up.

Feeling the intense heat, Baiyu stepped back, but the scales on her body continued to dry out.

"I want to go back to the sea."

After he finished speaking, he headed towards the sea, and it wasn't until he got into the sea that the whole fish seemed to come alive.

Akahoshi then remembered that mermaids were also afraid of fire, so he told him to soak in the sea for the time being.

Baiyu lay on the reef, its tail submerged in the water, watching the human cubs roast the rabbit.

He slowly closed his eyes and dozed off until he smelled a salty, savory aroma of meat.

Bai Yu stretched out his head and took a sniff, confirming that the smell came from the rabbit roasted by Chi Xing.
