Chapter 414: A Passionate Invitation
Chapter 414: A Passionate Invitation
"Huh?"
Lindsey's expression changed, and he felt the degree of crisis escalate to an unacceptable level.
It was even more severe than a pirate or ferocious beast attack.
What left Lindsey speechless was the task that popped up on his task panel.
【Mermaid's Desire】
【Aid Red Sea Mermaids in Reproduction】
Lindsey didn't even bother to look at the task rewards and immediately abandoned it.
At that moment, someone else arrived from the rear deck.
It was the one-armed painter, Alarson, who called out to the captain of the fish ship to come to the deck.
Facing Lindsey and Wah Wah Wah, who were already there, the middle-aged captain questioned with skepticism:
"Did you hear that a Seafolk died? Are you sure there's no mistake?"
"The connectors on the rope control panel are still taut, and the ship is sailing normally."
Lindsey pointed to the vast sea below.
"Take a look for yourself."
With the help of Wah Wah Wah's light, the captain leaned over to take a look.
Indeed, the Seafolk's figure had disappeared, and only those wandering shadows surrounded the ship.
The captain broke out in a cold sweat, unable to distinguish between seawater and sweat:
"What...what is this?"
Lindsey gave a simple reply:
"Red Sea Mermaids."
The captain stood there in shock, thinking of his wife and underage children back home.
Lindsey headed towards the direction of Wah Wah Wah's cabin.
Wah Wah Wah naturally followed:
"Lindsey, where are you going?"
Lindsey replied:
"To save myself."
"..."
Red Sea Mermaids were beautiful creatures created by painters.
They were purely marine creatures, unable to move on land.
However, for this race to reproduce, they needed the help of land mammals, and the 'partners' they preferred were humans, their creators, who also best fit their aesthetic standards.
The good news was that Red Sea Mermaids were very beautiful, and during their breeding period, they would take care of their partners as much as possible, and afterward, they would even offer corresponding rewards.
The bad news was that this process was not a pleasant experience for the male partner.
The fish ship sailed swiftly through the storm.
The constant jolting and swaying continuously drained the passengers' energy.
By the time dawn broke, many passengers could only stay in their cabins or lie down helplessly, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
However, Lindsey remained calm.
Before daybreak, he went to Wah Wah Wah's cabin, sat on the bed, and began to wait quietly.
In this situation, it was Wah Wah Wah who became anxious:
"Lindsey, aren't you going to try to escape?"
"If you're caught by those Red Sea Mermaids, you'll have to bear their children!"
Lindsey had given it serious thought.
If he put on the eel headgear and dove into the sea, he could swim to the City of a Thousand Sails on his own.
But swimming and sailing were not comparable.
Comparing swimming and sailing, Lindsey naturally preferred the latter.
His reason for staying on the ship.
Was definitely not to take this opportunity to broaden his horizons.
So he calmly said to Wah Wah Wah:
"Don't worry, they won't catch me."
"These Red Sea Mermaids have normal intelligence, and when searching for passengers on the ship, they will most likely bypass you, a female passenger."
Lindsey calculated the time in his mind.
Alarson had told him that with the guidance of the Seafolk, it would normally take 4 to 5 days to reach the City of a Thousand Sails.
They had only been on their journey for two days.
The Red Sea Mermaids were slower than the Seafolk, so he estimated that it would take...
"Sir, you've encountered a storm!"
"The ship is severely damaged, please come down and rest!"
"There's no need to panic, we will ensure your safety!"
A passionate shout from a girl rang out outside the cabin.
Her voice was sweet, almost like singing.
Artists like Wah Wah Wah could even sense the other's emotions, a gushing passion for love!
Lindsey remained unmoved.
He didn't need to stick his head out of the porthole to guess that the Red Sea mermaids were enchanting people to leave.
"Our current location..."
The storm raged on outside.
Lindsey opened the map and saw that they were not in the middle of an endless ocean.
The ship was docked at the edge of an island.
The central area of the island was a dense forest surrounding a solitary peak. However, closer to the ocean, the terrain was a dense network of rivers, resembling a waffle surrounding a thick slice of cake.
Considering the Red Sea mermaids' need for seawater and their requirement for breeding with land creatures, this island was obviously their best breeding ground.
The captain's voice echoed from the deck:
"Mermaid Miss, we are grateful for your rescue from the storm!"
"But let me make it clear—I am responsible for the safety of the crew, so please help us contact the Art of the Thousand Sails City..."
The captain's refusal was resolute.
But right after that, a sound of water splashing erupted, followed by the sound of a man falling into the water.
The captain was dragged into the sea by the beautiful mermaid, unable to speak another word.
The Red Sea mermaid who had just shouted continued:
"After enduring a night of the storm, you're still staying on the ship."
"Come down and rest!"
The passengers on the ship were not all from the Seven Seas Alliance; there were also ordinary travelers from other worlds.
Most of them would not be able to survive alone in the solitary sea world.
They also didn't know the true intentions of the Red Sea mermaids.
So, even though the situation was bizarre, there were still people who left the cabin. They were led away by beautiful mermaid misses, smiling, unaware of the truth, and even wearing happy expressions on their faces.
On the contrary, the ladies on board received better treatment.
The Red Sea mermaids couldn't reproduce with females, but they still enjoyed normal friendly treatment, and there was no problem with them going ashore normally.
After an hour or two...
Seeing that no other personnel were leaving the cabin, the shouting girl's voice became anxious:
"Gentlemen, please come out!"
"Everyone knows that our mermaid clan won't hurt people. This is a rare moment for us to spend the night together!"
"..."
"If you don't come down, we'll come up and help you, okay?"
Splash!
The water began to surge onto the deck and spread inside the ship.
Then, a sound of something sliding on the water's surface echoed.
The Red Sea mermaids flooded the ship with seawater and began prying open the cabin doors one by one, 'inviting' those who were unwilling to leave.
"Come on, let's go ashore together."
"No!"
"I have a girlfriend, don't do this."
"Wife, save me!"
Wails echoed from the cabin.
The locals from the Seven Seas Alliance knew what fate they were about to face.
But the strongest Awakened on board was only at the fifth stage, and there was no way to escape from the hands of the Red Sea mermaids.
It wasn't long before this situation reached Wah Wah Wah's cabin.
The cabin door opened with a bang.
A beautiful girl leaned against the door, poking her body inside.
She wore a top made of woven shells and pearls, and with her youthful and beautiful appearance, she looked like a princess on a seaside vacation.
But when the gaze shifted downward, it was revealed that her lower body was a large, beautiful fish tail.
She saw Wah Wah Wah inside the room.
Her cheerful expression sank:
"Oh, it's a lady."
"There are also places on the island where humans live. Before the people who came to pick you up leave, Miss, you can go ashore first."
The Red Sea mermaid greeted and left the cabin.
Throughout the process, she completely ignored Lindsey, who was hiding in the room, and instead, a man's wail immediately echoed from the neighboring cabin.
"..."
Wah Wah Wah looked at Lindsey.
The girl carefully examined and found a clue. Lindsey seemed to be sitting on the bed, but in fact, his buttocks were suspended, and he was squatting in place!
