The Razor Tiger Shark, whose tail was pierced by Mo Nian's spear, struggled violently for a few moments before it died with a wail.
"Young Clan Head!" "Big Brother!" Roars erupted immediately from the sharks. Their eyes turned bloodshot, and killing intent surged within them.
Even so, the fear of death held them back. They only roared in anger but did not dare to attack Mo Nian and the others.
The mermaids erupted into cheers. Mo Yan and the rest of the mermaids looked full of vigor and great force.
The Razor Tiger Shark's young clan leader and his followers were once deeply feared by many underwater creatures. He had now become a dead corpse lying in the depths of the sea. This huge contrast was unbelievable to many of the mermaids despite having bore witness.
"Chief! What… What I saw wasn't real, right… Mo Nian… she killed the leader of the Razor Tiger Sharks?" The mermaid beside Mo Yan asked shakily.
"It is, isn't it…" Mo Yan murmured to herself.
"Mo Yan! Come with me to see our Island Master now. I believe our Island Master will welcome your new arrival!"
Mo Nian said calmly after waving the spear in her hand to shake off the blood. It was as if killing a Razor Tiger Shark was the most ordinary thing in the world.
"O… OK, I hope it won't bring you any trouble!" Mo Yan said timidly. It was obvious that she was still replaying the scenes earlier in her head and was dumbfounded by Mo Nian's elegance.
"Great, then follow us!" Mo Nian said. She turned around and went up to the front with her other four companions. After confirming their directions, they swam off quickly.
"Alright… sisters! Follow them closely. We are going to a new place to stay, one where nobody would dare to invade again!"
Mo Yan snapped back to her senses and announced to the mermaids behind. She looked at Mo Nian and the others and felt a strong sense of determination!
"Mo Nian! What about the rest of the Razor Tiger Sharks here?" Mo Yan came up to Mo Nian's and asked.
"About them… Don't worry, they won't dare to fight us anymore!" Mo Nian answered without the slightest care, then threw them a glance.
Mo Yan looked at the pack of Sharks and realized that indeed, all of them had kept their distance.
Even though the sharks had ferocious expressions on their faces, none of them dared to act recklessly. They could only watch in anger from afar as the mermaids swam further away.
They eventually vanished from the sharks' field of vision…
…
Now, only the sharks remained. None of them made a sound. Everyone was glaring in the direction where Mo Nian and the rest had disappeared, trying hard to suppress their fear and anger.
"Second Brother! What should we do? Are we just going to let them escape like this? They killed our Young Patriarch!" After a long while, a Razor Tiger Shark that was always by the Young Patriarch's side broke the silence.
"Do you think I don't want to avenge our young clan leader? But right now, can we match up to them?" The Razor Tiger Shark known as Second Brother retorted.
"Then… then what should we do?" the Razor Tiger Shark that was rebuked said dejectedly.
"We can only continue to follow them from afar and then contact the Clan Head. He will definitely be furious when he hears that the Young Clan Head was killed by them. The Clan Head will definitely see them to their deaths." Second Brother said fiercely.
"That seems like our only option…" said the Razor Tiger Shark. Then he pulled something that looked like a shell out from his chest, put it to his mouth, and blew.
No sound could be heard, but ripples spread outwards from the shell and spread in all directions.
After blowing for five or six minutes, the shark stopped.
"Let's go! We'll follow them!" Second Brother announced. Then, he led the remaining sharks in the direction where Mo Nian and the rest had disappeared.
…
At this moment, in a deep sea hundreds of meters away, hundreds of Razor Tiger Sharks were listening to the teachings of their elders. From time to time, sharks would leave this place, and not long after, they would bring back a fresh carcass. This was their coming-of-age ceremony, and killing these creatures was the best way for them to gain experience.
An old Razor Tiger Shark towered before the young sharks. The Elder Shark had his eyes closed and did not move at all. His expression was indifferent, and he emanated a dignified aura, but with no sign of anger. He was known as Shark Yi and was the Patriarch of this clan of Razor Tiger Sharks.
Every time a young member returned with a carcass, the Elder Shark would open his eyes to observe the carcass. Then, he would give a few words of advice before closing his eyes once again.
All of a sudden, the Elder Shark seemed to have sensed something amiss, and his expression changed into one of anger.
"My son! Father will definitely avenge you!" the Elder Shark roared angrily! His face revealed a pained expression as tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
A shark known as the Hundred Forms Shark before him was stunned for a moment. He was puzzled as to the sudden change in mood of the Elder Shark.
"Patriarch! What's wrong?" an older Razor Tiger Shark swam over and asked.
"Shark Yuan is dead… killed during his training…" Shark Yi closed his eyes and said grimly.
If it was not clear now, Shark Yuan was the young patriarch of the Razor Tiger Shark Clan, and also the son of the patriarch, Shark Yi!
"What! D-dead! How is that possible! There were dozens of sharks with him, how could he be killed! Impossible!"
The older shark exclaimed. This was Shark Yi's younger brother, Shark Kui, also Shark Yuan's uncle. His nephew had died with no apparent reason and he was unable to believe it.
Shark Yi's words rang continuously in his ears, what else could he do but trust them.
"Who was it!? Who killed my nephew!?" Shark Kui said furiously.
"It's the mermaids! Some of the sharks that were with Yuan are now trailing those mermaids, and I heard that they're heading to some sort of island. The five leading mermaids are very powerful and possess sharp weapons, so we have to rush over as soon as possible!" Shark Yi spoke slowly as he waited for his restless heart to calm down.
After all, he was the leader of this clan. He could not lose his dignity in front of his followers!
"My fellow sharks! I have just received news that your Young Patriarch… died while training outside. Our Razor Tiger Shark Clan hasn't been killed by anyone since we arrived. Now, someone has killed your Young Patriarch and our other clansmen. I've decided to bring all of you to avenge them!"
"Protect the dignity of the Razor Tiger Shark Clan!" Shark Yi said loudly.
"Yes!" the hundred or so Tiger Sharks below answered in unison, coupled with a moment of restlessness.
Following that, Shark Yi led the sharks and headed in the direction of the mermaids!
…
Hundreds of miles away, Mo Nian and the rest were advancing rapidly.
"Mo Nian! What kind of person is your Island Master?" Mo Yan asked curiously.
"You'll know when we get there! We'll be there in half a day!" Mo Nian smiled.
She continued to speed up, and Mo Yan and the rest of the mermaids followed closely behind.
None of them knew about the danger that was quietly approaching…
