Lin Xiao, the Leader, remained silent, and naturally, the members of his Clan acted on instinct. While chatting amongst themselves, the two groups of Fishmen gradually started to converse together.
The first speaking Grey Mist Fishman displayed quite some intelligence. Without any direct hints, much of the small talk he had with the Native Fishman included questions he too wanted to ask.
Most of it was trivial, but a few questions were asked with a level of sophistication that made Lin Xiao mentally give a thumbs-up.
Through some cluttered small talk, they also gathered quite a bit of interesting intelligence.
Fishmen have limited intelligence and no concept of counter-espionage; they usually answer any question they can.
And by being able to answer, it doesn't mean that there are topics that are forbidden to discuss, but rather the wild Fishmen's intelligence is just so limited that they don't know how to respond to many questions.
