Chapter 389 The Mermaid’s New Home
Luo Le said, "We will send more warriors to help the fishing boats in Xiangpu City drive away the fish. We hope you can share some of the catch with us to meet the mermaids' food needs."

"That's easy to say, but given the current situation, can fishing boats still go out to sea? Will those sea beasts never appear again?"

Feng Yu didn't know why those monsters were chasing the mermaid. He would never let the crew go out to sea before making sure it was safe.

Cattail City is not yet at the point where it can't make ends meet, so there is no need to fight for ocean catches.

"I can give you an answer about this." The Mermaid Queen spoke.

"Those sea beasts should be driven by a powerful being from the abyss to trouble us mermaids. Their target should be me. As long as I don't enter the sea, they should not gather in large numbers."

Seeing Feng Yu's puzzled look, the mermaid queen said, "To be precise, it should be the treasure of our mermaid royal family, the mermaid crown inlaid with the Heart of the Ocean Pearl.

It is a very powerful magic item that can bless a large number of warriors with multiple water-based magic. If worn by a single person, the buff effect will be even stronger.

I think, if these sea beasts are not after our mermaids’ rich homeland, then they must be after this treasure of the mermaid clan.”

Feng Yu then discovered that the headdress on the queen's head was inlaid with a huge magic pearl, and the headdress was also very complicated, as if it was woven into a complex magic array with mithril threads.

“I’m afraid this thing will fall into the hands of the manipulator behind the sea beasts, and they will use it to harm us mermaids.

Sea beasts cannot defeat our mermaid warriors, but after the amplification, sea beasts have the ability to fight against our mermaid warriors."

"So strong?"

"Yes. But the magic power consumption is too high. Even a great magician can only activate three or four large-scale enhancement spells."

"Are you sure this is the reason?" Feng Yu asked.

"I'm sorry, but I don't know any other reason."

"Regarding the issue of food, as long as we can catch some fish, there will be absolutely no problem in giving priority to satisfying the needs of your mermaids.

But I am a little worried, because I am afraid that there are other reasons that cause the sea beasts to attack you collectively.

Although our fishing boats are not afraid of ordinary sea beasts, once a magic user proficient in water magic stirs up trouble at sea, our fishing boats will be in danger.

I don't think those sea beasts were driven to steal your magical treasures.

If that is the case, their approach is not tactically sound. I think their goal is to drive you out of your homes.

I just learned from the injured mermaid warriors that those sea beasts appeared on the side of the reef where you live.

I have seen them from the airship. There are a large number of sea beasts, but they have never adopted the tactic of besieging you. Instead, they simply drove them away.

This doesn't make sense. If they wanted to steal your treasure, they could have just surrounded you from the beginning."

The Mermaid Queen and Princess Luo Le fell into deep thought, and Feng Yu continued, "Of course, this is just my guess.

Regarding fishing, we can slowly test it from near to far. Let's first satisfy your food needs. We can only investigate the rest slowly."

The ocean is not Xiangpu City's strong point, but Feng Yu does not want to give up the large amount of ocean catch, so he can only slowly test the reactions of the sea beasts.

“By the way, you must not go to the west bank of Lengshui River. The people there are a mixed crowd, including many mercenaries and adventurers. These people act without scruples, so you have to be careful.

There is no problem on the east coast where we are. Humans don't dare to compete with our Xiangpu City on the Lengshui River.

Also, you must stay away from our ships. The propellers at the stern are very powerful. You must remind your people, especially the children, of this."

Eventually all the mermaids moved through the flood discharge channel to temporarily live inside the Cattail Dam, because the Cattail Dam was under construction and the water in the river section below was very turbid due to the construction.

Although the waters within the Cattail Dam are not as rich in resources as the sea, the area is large enough and there are many freshwater fish in it, which can serve as food for the mermaids for a period of time.

This period of time is used to test the movements of sea beasts and their tolerance for fishing boats.

However, no matter how many troubles there are, the large number of mermaids that have moved into Lengshui River has become a rare sight in the river. Many residents who are taking a break regard going to the Lengshui River to watch the mermaids as a way of leisure.

Of course, there are almost no fishermen on the Lengshui River now. Feng Yu ordered that residents are not allowed to go to Xiangpu City to fish, because there are many naughty children in the mermaid's family, and the prepared bait materials are very attractive to the little mermaid.

Although they were a little down and out, the mermaids still had some sense of superiority, until many folk bands from Pupu City ran to the Lengshui River to perform for the mermaids.

Coupled with the tall buildings and night views of Cattail City, the increasing number of vehicles in the urban area, etc., the mermaids also witnessed the extraordinary nature of this miracle city.

The fishing boat went out to sea again, but it was just trying to cast a few nets at its "doorstep" to see how the sea beasts would react.

Strangely, the reconnaissance airship reported that no large number of sea beasts were found on the reef where the mermaids lived, and the sea beasts were mostly swimming around the mermaids' reef home.

In the end, it was old man Anthony who took action personally. He sat on the airship and hid the magic fluctuations, and only then did he get close to the reef where the mermaids lived.

According to old man Anthony, there is only one top-level magician-level creature living on the mermaid's reef.

Then, the one who attacked the mermaid this time can be identified as the top magician who now lives in the mermaid's house.

As for whether this guy came to occupy territory, or to covet the mermaid's beauty, or for some water-based magic treasure, it had nothing to do with Feng Yu.

He only knew that the appearance of this gang brought new dangers to marine fishing in Cattail City.

As soon as this news was confirmed, Cattail City secretly planned an action plan targeting the creature now living on the Mermaid Reef.

Only by eliminating the high-level abyss creatures that can only make the sea beasts unite and cooperate can the gathered sea beasts be forced to disperse and escape.

Only by ensuring the safety of this sea area can Cattail City's offshore fishing boats catch large quantities of fish and continuously provide Cattail City and its allies with high-quality meat and by-products.
