Why can't humans do it too?

This mermaid perfectly demonstrated what it means to be a fish that has come ashore, desperately clutching herself and thrashing about on the ground while making meaningless cries.

"...Can't sea creatures breathe once they come ashore?" Seeing her struggling so much, so clumsy that even Suer felt a pang of pity, he asked curiously.

"Huh? Although I can't stay out of the water for long, breathing is perfectly fine~", Xin Ke replied lightly.

"...If you can breathe, why do you look like you're having so much trouble?" Su Er thought, "Hmm, the pain in my balls is getting even stronger."

It's not like you can't breathe, so why are you clutching your throat and thrashing around like that?

"I guess you've forgotten that you can breathe even when you're out of the water?" Xin Ke easily guessed the truth and kindly reminded him, "By the way, you sea creature over there, if you don't loosen your grip on your neck soon, you'll strangle yourself to death, okay?"

???

So that's why you seem to be having so much difficulty breathing!

The people of Suer were almost dumbfounded.

Don't you realize how much force you used when you choked yourself so hard?

Or is it that the harder you push, the harder you have to breathe, so you push even harder... It's a vicious cycle!

In just a few seconds, Sul had already seen the fact that the sea creatures that Xinke and Jibril had described were idiots. At least for now, he estimated that he would never forget this scene for the rest of his life.

Chapter 180 Talking at Cross purposes

As soon as Xinke finished speaking, Suer could clearly see the thrashing fish on the ground suddenly stiffen, then hurriedly release its grip on its neck—

"Phew! It really is!!" Haiqi Zhong exclaimed with surprise, turning his palms and the backs of his hands over and over. His joyful expression was as if he had found five dollars on the street.

"..."

Suer could no longer bear to look at it.

To be honest, the marine species is quite beautiful in terms of appearance alone, which perfectly matches the image of a mermaid in Suer's fantasy. Half of it is a fish body with scales, and the other half is a human body. It must be pointed out in advance that it is not half left and right, but half top and bottom. Please be sure to distinguish it.

The upper body is that of a beautiful young girl, no different from a human. Well, except that the parts that are like ears are fish fins, there is not much difference in the rest. The chest is only wrapped with a few strips of cloth, which does not match the image of mermaids with big breasts and shells in Suer's mind. The lower body is a long fish tail with a fish tail fin. I wonder if it will turn into human legs like in fairy tales.

Suer was lost in thought.

He had already gleaned some insights from this sea creature's attire. The excessive number of ornaments adorning her neck and arms revealed their preference for beauty and love of luxury. The only question was whether this was a personal taste of this sea creature or a common practice among the entire species.

The man was silently making notes in his mind.

"Thank you so much! You actually told me something so important!" With an innocent smile, the captured sea creature thanked the three of them sincerely. The overly sincere gratitude left Su Er speechless.

"..." What should I do? Why do I feel this heartache? Is my conscience trembling?

Even now, this marine species is unaware of its predicament, nor has it realized what's going on. It's as if the massive attack from just moments ago didn't even exist.

Friend, your house was bombed! Just now, right in front of you.

You idiot, there's an idiot here!

Based on this kind of quality, the reason why the marine species have been able to survive this great war until now is indeed because they have no intention of participating at all, and because other races have no need for the territory in the sea, right?!

That's absolutely right!

Suer firmly believed this.

"So? Has your curiosity about marine species been satisfied? Or would you like to learn more?" Jibril asked with a grin as she flew to Suer's side, flapping her decorative wings.

"Please stop deliberately trying to mislead people, okay? Seriously, you just attacked like that?" Jibril's speed from making her move to grabbing him was so fast that Suer even began to doubt if he was experiencing an illusion.

"Hmm? Is there a problem?" Jibril asked, her confusion even greater than that of Sur. Hands on her hips, she declared confidently, "I've wanted to openly bombard the capital of the marine species for a long time! And trying it now is really exhilarating!!"

This fanatical warmonger showed no remorse for bullying people with intellectual disabilities; he even licked his lips with a lingering sense of satisfaction.

This little pink-haired girl is so dark-hearted.

"According to your theory, are you planning to visit the goblin capital as well? Speaking of which, the sea creature capital is over there!" Only then did Suer belatedly realize something.

Such a blatant bombardment of the capital is definitely the worst kind of provocation, right?! This is at sea! We're going to die!

Where is the creator of the marine species? Where is the divine species? Why is there still no reaction? Help!

Unfortunately, everything was calm, except for the violent fluctuations caused by the surrounding seawater flowing to fill the deep crater blasted out by Jibril.

Considering the intelligence of this marine creature in front of him, Suer suddenly had a rough guess—the gods of marine creatures... could they be like this too?

What to do? The more I think about it, the more likely it seems.

How can such a foolish race live so innocently and carefree in this cruel world...?

Is it because they are protected by a divine species?

Speechless, Su Er let out a long sigh.

“Not just goblins! There’s also the capital of the forest elves, ah~, I heard there are countless books there~” For some reason, Sull suddenly sighed, but Jibril continued gesturing enthusiastically. But someone couldn’t stand this.

"Oh? Miss Monster, you can try it, huh? Maybe it'll tear your wings off there~", Xin Ke threatened with a forced smile.

"Ha, weeds are weeds. They should learn to be humble towards forces they cannot resist. Do you want me to teach you this lesson?" Jibril sneered as she spoke to Xin Ke as usual.

"Oh! Are you two arguing? You shouldn't argue!"

It's hard to imagine that the one trying to reconcile the two people is this sea creature who was forcibly kidnapped.

The scene was so surreal that Suer didn't know what to say.

"Didn't they say that the body would shrink after using Sky Strike?", Suer quickly changed the subject to prevent the two from actually fighting each other here.

Jibril maintains her childlike figure not because she likes it, but because she overused an excessive amount of spirits while fighting the dragon spirits, causing her body to shrink. According to her casual conversation, she should also be in a shrunken state after using Sky Strike.

"That was a full-force Sky Strike; what I just did was merely a casual strike," Jibril said nonchalantly, waving her hand dismissively. "My strength has almost fully recovered, so this kind of exertion is no longer a problem for me."

Does that mean the mature look is just around the corner?

In an instant, she understood. Suddenly, Sue became curious about what the adult Jibril would look like... Would she feel ashamed of crying because she had become a child, given her changed way of thinking?

I just hope they don't have any thoughts of killing me to cover it up.

"So, um, are there any legends among the marine species about small, inaccessible islands on the sea surface?" Looking at the marine species in front of him, who was sitting in a water sphere and constantly touching the edge of the sphere to satisfy its curiosity, Suer asked somewhat helplessly, "Like forbidden areas or something?"

"Huh? What? The sea? An island we can't go to? Why can't we go?"

Clearly, this marine creature was even more puzzled than he was.

Chapter 181 Shattered Illusions

This water sphere was obtained by Suer through Xinke, just so that this sea creature could live more comfortably on land... At least Suer really couldn't bear to bully this idiot, his conscience was aching.

With his eyesight, he couldn't even tell whether this sea creature was genuinely stupid or just pretending, but considering the 'wonderful' reputation of this race that even among the Skywing species... it probably really was stupid.

“You won’t get anything out of him like that, Mr. Monkey,” Xin Ke waved her hand at Su Er, signaling him to stop talking. “Overly complicated words will be incomprehensible to the marine species, so the questions you ask them should be as brief as possible, and preferably consist only of a subject, verb, and object, like this.”

Do you often go swimming in the sea?

"Oh, really?"

Is there anywhere you can't go?

No, there isn't.

“Very good,” Xin Ke nodded to the marine creature in the water sphere, then turned to Su Er and said seriously, “She’s useless now, kill her.”

"Hey!!!"

Suer abruptly pressed down on Xinke's raised arm. He saw that magical light had appeared on that hand, and Xinke was undoubtedly serious and not just pretending to intimidate the prisoner.

'It's just a failed demonstration! Killing someone to cover it up is a bit too cruel!' Suer thought to himself.

"You don't think I'm just being irritable, do you, Mr. Monkey?" Xin Ke asked casually, grabbing Su Er's arm and scrutinizing the man's expression.

"No, of course not," Suer said seriously, having already skillfully and diligently controlled his body's micro-expressions. He quickly turned to the sea creature, who was unaware that he had just escaped a calamity, and said, "I think there must be more information that can be extracted. Let me give it a try."

"Ha~"

"When you go out to play on the sea, are there any particularly fun places?" Pretending not to hear the soft chuckle behind him, Su'er wanted to ask this...mentally challenged child in a gentler way.

I couldn't take it anymore, so I had to resort to this kind of talk that's like deceiving a child.

"Fun places? There are so many!" Haiqi Zhong perked up; she loved talking about this. "A huge iceberg appeared over there to the north a while ago. Everyone loves going there to play; it's cool and refreshing, and so much fun!"

"Wow~, that sounds amazing~, I'm so envious that you can go to such a fun place. Are there any other places besides there?"

"Pfft~"

Suer heard the two guys laughing, and his eyebrows twitched slightly.

He had already drawn on his experience of taking care of his little niece, praising and coaxing the child... After paying such a high price, these two still dared to laugh at him; they were simply courting death!

"Other places?" Completely absorbed in Suer's rhythm, the marine creature tilted its head, blowing bubbles as it pondered. "It seems like there aren't any? Everyone still prefers playing on the seabed; the bioluminescent jellyfish are so pretty!"

"Wow~ Oh~~", exclaimed exaggeratedly, with a perfectly timed expression of admiration on his face. He heard the laughter behind him seem to grow even louder... and his fist hardened.

Damn it! I'll endure it!

Business matters!

"Are there any places that nobody wants to go? Or places that people usually avoid when they go out?" Suer asked from a different angle.

"Hmm~~~", it was clear that she was really thinking seriously. This sea creature was tapping her head in distress, really hard, which made Su Er a little worried that the paste in her head might become even thicker.

"No way! I really can't think of anywhere I can't go~" She giggled cutely, then suddenly had a brilliant idea. She remembered something she'd casually mentioned to her friends: "Ah! There are dangerous places, you know! Leila said the sea has been quite dangerous lately~"
