Before Su Yuan could even process the contents of the intelligence report, he saw a comical figure tumbling and crawling through the rain in the distance.

It turns out to be a guardian spirit of wealth.

It made a sound like a pig being slaughtered as it ran.

"Help! My patron, please help me!"

"They're catching up! These wretches are so fast in the rain! My lord, save me!"

Su Yuan couldn't help but twitch his lips as he watched it run away in a panic.

Is this guy really reliable?

He wasn't worried about the treasure spirit's life or death. The creature's true form was the treasure chest. Even if its straw body was destroyed, it would only lose three train coins at most. As long as the scarecrow's heart remained intact, he would only need to spend a little effort to repair the body.

He simply felt that this guy's confident boast about turning the bay upside down was a bit of a slap in the face.

However, Su Yuan still stepped forward and blocked the panicked money-guarding spirit behind him.

After all, they are his "employees," so he should protect them.

"Alright, stop howling, it's not a big deal."

As soon as Su Yuan finished speaking, in his field of vision, through the rain, several slender, twisted black shadows were rushing towards him at an alarming speed.

The rain seemed to have no effect on them; on the contrary, it was like their natural home ground, making them faster and their movements more unpredictable.

As the distance closed, Su Yuan finally saw what these monsters looked like.

They have human-like upper bodies, but their skin is a disgusting, slippery, grayish-green color, covered with a layer of fine scales that gleam oily in the dim light.

Its limbs were disproportionately long and thin, with thin webbing between its fingers and toes, and sharp claws that gleamed with a cold light at the tips.

This is not the legendary mermaid with a beautiful voice and graceful figure.

To be honest, this thing looks more like a Deep One or a fish-man that crawled out of some horror movie.

What made Su Yuan most uncomfortable were their faces.

It had a face that looked just like a deep-sea anglerfish, with no nose, only two tiny breathing holes that kept opening and closing.

At the same time, the eyes are huge, protruding outwards, without eyelids, only a layer of cloudy white nictitating membrane, which blinks from time to time, making it look extremely eerie.

Their mouths are huge slits stretching from the root of their left ear to the root of their right ear. When they hiss threateningly, you can clearly see the dense, needle-like sharp teeth inside.

"Holy crap, these are merfolk?"

Looking at these somewhat abstract-looking monsters, Su Yuan felt not the slightest fear, but rather a strange excitement.

"He's a bit ugly, but... he should drop a lot of good stuff, right?"

He hoisted the exaggeratedly designed Demon-Slaying War Hammer onto his shoulder with one hand, grinned, and instead of retreating, he took the initiative to meet the monsters head-on.

"My patron! Watch out! They..."

Just as the treasure-guarding spirit hiding behind was about to speak up to warn them, it saw Su Yuan's figure turn into a blur and instantly rush to the front of the merman.

The merman clearly hadn't expected that this seemingly naked human would be faster than them!

Its enormous mouth suddenly opened, letting out a piercing screech, and at the same time, its gleaming claws viciously clawed at Su Yuan's chest.

However, it was fast, but Su Yuan was even faster!

"Bang!"

A deafeningly loud bang, deep and muffled, exploded amidst the torrential rain!

Su Yuan didn't even make any unnecessary movements; he simply swung his warhammer from top to bottom in a simple and unadorned split.

Before the merman could even let out a scream, its entire upper body exploded into a bloody, green gooey mess, like a watermelon struck head-on by a battering ram.

Minced meat and green blood mingled with the rainwater, splashing everywhere.

One strike!

Just one hammer blow!

A monstrous-looking creature was gone just like that.

The remaining three merfolk froze abruptly, their dead fish eyes revealing expressions of fear.

They stopped, making uneasy gurgling sounds in their throats, as if hesitating whether to continue charging forward to avenge their companions or turn and run away.

Unfortunately, Su Yuan didn't give them a choice.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Three more crisp, muffled thuds followed.

Su Yuan's body left three afterimages in the rain. Although he held a huge warhammer, it was as if it were weightless. He swung it with great force and accurately smashed it on the heads of the remaining three merfolk.

Three ugly fish heads exploded almost simultaneously.

The headless corpse swayed, then collapsed helplessly onto the muddy beach, where it was quickly washed away by the torrential rain.

It only took a few seconds.

The battle was over.

The guardian spirit hiding behind Su Yuan kept its eyes tightly closed the whole time, muttering something under its breath.

When it sensed that all the noise around it had stopped, it cautiously opened its eyes a crack.

The horrific scene of blood and gore that was expected did not occur.

Its patron was still standing there naked, carrying an exaggerated warhammer taller than himself in one hand, and scratching his chin with the other, seemingly deep in thought.

At his feet, there was nothing but a few shallow puddles being washed away by the rain.

"Is it... over?"

The money-grubbing spirit rubbed its eyes and pinched its straw thigh hard.

Hiss~

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!

It had been years since I'd felt pain, and it was actually quite stimulating. The money-grubber secretly pinched himself a few more times, looking rather pleased.

Frog Fun!

Upon realizing what was happening, the money-guarding spirit exclaimed in surprise.

It thought its sugar daddy was very strong. After all, he could kill a two-and-a-half-star elite monster and casually create an epic weapon. How could he be weak?

But it never expected that its benefactor would be so outrageously powerful!

Those are four mermaids! In the rain, their speed and strength are boosted, and even ordinary two-star monsters would have a headache if they encountered them.

In the end... in the hands of the big spender, it was as simple as cracking a few walnuts?

At the same time, the moment Su Yuan saw these merfolk, he had already obtained their accurate information through his senses.

This is a low-level merman with low intelligence and only instincts. Their strength weakens in sunny weather and increases in rainy weather. They are considered to be an even lower level among low-level mermen.

They practice matrilineal tribes, and a mermaid tribe often consists of at least one female mermaid plus twenty or thirty male mermaids.

These lowest-ranking merfolk were responsible for searching for food outside.

After being killed, they release a pheromone that can travel for tens of kilometers, and even dozens of kilometers in the rain.

Su Yuan stood still, using the hammer handle to support himself on the ground, waiting for the merfolk to arrive.

He didn't forget to turn back and shout to the treasure-guarding spirit, "Don't just stand there, hurry up and search the treasure chests!"

Only then did the money-guarding spirit belatedly take action.

Su Yuan discovered that each merman he killed dropped about thirty pounds of merman flesh and a piece of merman bone.

Mermaid bones are a good material that can be burned, but the downside is that they produce a strong fishy smell and are toxic when burned, but I'm not afraid of that.

Mermaid flesh and blood are theoretically poisonous and inedible, but that's for others. For Su Yuan, it's a valuable commodity.

This thing also has a chance to drop mermaid pearls, which are the biggest reward for ordinary people when killing mermaids. Unfortunately, none of these four dropped any.

The reason why the previous Stitches and Whisperer Janice didn't drop materials was because their flesh and blood were the filthy products of evil gods, and they dissipated after being killed.

Soon, more dark figures began to appear at the boundary between the beach and the shallow water.

A large group of merfolk rushed over, indicating that there were quite a few merfolk in the area; judging from the encirclement, there were at least several dozen.

The danger level of this instance is more than 1.5 stars.

The danger level of 1.5 stars is relative to normal. Players can collect materials here. Only a few merfolk will come ashore at night. If you are careful, there are basically no problems.

It's a pity it's raining, and it's also a pity they ran into Su Yuan.

After easily smashing several more merfolk who were acting as vanguards, Su Yuan discovered that these ugly-looking merfolk seemed unable to sing.

Suddenly, a completely different mermaid emerged from the water.

This merman has a human upper body and a fish tail, and its facial features have already reached a level close to human aesthetics, making it a female.

Under its guidance, the remaining merfolk stopped attacking blindly and began to sing along with its song.

Among merfolk, only female merfolk can sing, and female merfolk can gather those merfolk who cannot sing to sing together to increase their power!

Su Yuan instantly understood the meaning of the intelligence, and after realizing it, he quickly charged forward.

After all, Su Yuan wouldn't just wait for their spellcasting animation to start.

But as soon as the female merman arrived, these lowly mermen instantly became incredibly fanatical, and several of them immediately split off and fearlessly stepped forward to stop her.

The time was ultimately delayed by a few seconds.

Ahhhhh, ahhhhhh~

As a melodious song drifted over, the other merfolk began to sing along.

"Forehead……"

The moment the song started, Su Yuan was already prepared to resist, but suddenly, Su Yuan seemed to find that he was not affected at all.

It seems that Su Yuan cleared the previous dungeon without taking any damage. Even though he had the advantage of timing and location in this dungeon, numerical superiority is still numerical superiority.

These merfolk reproduce through females, but their offspring are not males within their tribe. The aura emanating from Su Yuan clearly indicates that he is a suitable target.

"Still not running away, still singing 'ah ah ah' there?"

Unfortunately, they misjudged the situation!

The next second, Su Yuan charged forward, hammer in hand!
