Chapter 413 Red Sea Mermaid
With half of Lindsay's head still sticking out of the porthole, he asked without looking back:

"Are there any dangerous creatures or pirates in this sea area?"

Wala Wala replied immediately:

"Normally no!"

"Lindsay, why are you asking this question?"

"..."

Lindsay got out of the porthole and came back:

"The seaman pulling the boat in front is dead."

"Our current situation should not fall within the usual scope. We encounter this kind of thing at sea..."

boom!
The waves slammed against the side of the boat, causing the entire fishing boat to tilt to one side.

The seaman connected by the bow rope was originally responsible for driving the operation of the entire ship, and its size and weight should not be underestimated.

Wala Wala replied:

Arazon was left alone in the cabin, not wanting to go out at this time.

"How can there be such a coincidence in the world!"

But after he was thrown against the wall twice by the rocking ship, the one-armed painter shook his head and sighed, and rushed out of the room helplessly:
"This is my third time in the Seven Seas Alliance, and I'm going to encounter something like this?"

He ran quickly towards the bow of the ship.

It was still afternoon, and the overcast sea had turned into complete darkness.

He stabilized his body, kicked down the cabin door and the door lock, and rushed out.

"Humans will be severely punished if they kill a seaman tugging a boat. Not many people would do such a thing!"

Boom——

Lindsay rushed onto the deck in one breath, and violent raindrops immediately hit her face, making it difficult to see what was ahead.

But after taking a few steps, doubts came to mind.

Wala Wala looked stunned, and then rushed out:

"..."

Lindsay didn't care to pry for information anymore.

"What if it's not human?"

Everything in the cabin, including humans, was knocked to the left side. Then the ship returned to its right position and threw everyone to the other side.

Lindsay shouted:

Lindsay and Vala Vala rushed out one after another.

"If it's a dangerous creature in the sea, then you can't tell!"

Without the protection of sea people, a ship is like a fragile leaf in a storm.

But what now? ——The sea people are dead.

Regardless of whether it was heavy enough to drag the entire fishing boat to the bottom, the deck would at least tilt due to its carcass.

But the feeling under Lindsay's feet told him.

Except for the shaking caused by the waves, the deck did not appear top-heavy at all.

"..."

Lindsay rushed to the bow of the boat, and heavy rain rolled in, making it impossible to see the water below.

But at a closer location, the vague shape of the rope connecting the sea people can still be seen.

"The rope was not cut?"

From behind, Wala Wala also chased after him:

"Lindsey, how are you?"

Lindsay immediately activated her skills.

He saw a long glowing line in the blur of heavy rain and waves.

[The bow rope - a tight, strong rope, is carrying the ship forward in the sea. 】

The ship is still sailing, but the sea people are dead!

What are they being dragged along by?
Lindsay turned to Wala Wala and shouted:
"There's something under the water dragging the boat, and it's definitely not a sea dweller!"

Wala Wala immediately understood what Lindsay meant:
"A storm is a dark pocket from which the brilliance of dawn will burst forth!"

Golden light flashed in front of the two people.

Although it could not dispel the darkness of the storm, a bright area had been created at the bow of the ship.

At this moment, looking through the rain curtain, I saw shadows swimming under the sea.

The bodies of the sea dwellers had long since sunk into the sea and disappeared.

At this moment it is these things under the sea that are dragging the ship forward. Lindsay's eyes narrowed.

[Shadow under the sea - some kind of creature living in the water is dragging the ship to move. 】

"Damn it!"

Lindsay didn't hesitate, he immediately took out the [Iron Horned Bow] and shot several arrows at the shadow below.

boom--

The thunderous sound of bowstrings was not noticeable under the pouring rain.

Lindsay shot several arrows into the water, but the shadow below was flexible and blocked by water flow and rain. The initial attack could not kill it at all.

But Lindsay's advantage lies in his many skills, and the [Hunting Notes] have begun to record information.

【Red Sea Mermaid】

[Marine Mammals - Awakening Level 1~? 】

[Body length 0.2~2.5 meters]

【Weight 3~102kg】

[It is difficult to move on land and extremely fast in water. 】

[Magical creatures created by painters. They thrive in the sea and often form cooperative relationships with humans. 】

[The Red Sea mermaid clan only has beautiful females, and to reproduce they need to seduce males from other races. Red Sea mermaids are usually gentle in temperament, but during estrus they can become reckless and violent, and even 'attack' passers-by! 】

[Weaknesses: Head, heart. 】

[Hunting advice: Luuring it to land will greatly reduce the difficulty of hunting. 】

[Kill achievement: 0/50]

Seeing the description in the note, Lindsay's bow and arrow suddenly softened.

Wala Wala was still beside him asking anxiously:

"Lindsay, you are right, there is something under the water pulling the boat!"

"..."

"Lindsay, why don't you speak?"

"Aren't bows and arrows shooting anymore?"

Lindsay looked back at the girl:

"Walawala, do you know the Red Sea Mermaid?"

Wala Wala nodded immediately:

"I know, these creatures are beautiful, kind, and easy to get along with. If you give them some snacks, I can let them be my painting models."

The girl reacted immediately:
"Wait a minute! The person dragging the boat down below is..."

Lindsay affirmed:
"Yes, it's the Red Sea mermaid."

Wala Wala cannot understand the current situation at all:
"They have a very docile personality. Why do they want to kill the sea people and follow the storm to attack us?"

Lindsay asked rhetorically:
"When do Red Sea mermaids usually breed?"

"Every year from January to March, they..." Wala Wala immediately realized that it was January. She then shook her head and denied, "It's impossible. Even if they really can't control it, they won't. Dare to attack human ships."

Lindsay looked at the shadows under the sea and said:

"What if we took advantage of the storm and towed the ship away in the name of saving people?"

"..."

Wala Wala stopped talking.

The girl's beautiful face was wet from the heavy rain and waves, but she still couldn't hide the colorful expression on it.

She spoke again, her tone becoming more urgent than when she heard about the death of the sea people:

"No! Lindsay, please find a way to run away."

Lindsay asked:

"Are they very dangerous when they are in heat?"

"..."

In the storm.

Wala Wala stretched out her hand to wipe the rain from her face. She was even a little embarrassed to look at Lindsay:

"Don't make any mistake, this is not a charming love affair!"

The girl introduced the characteristics of the local creatures of the Seven Seas Alliance:
"Listen, the Red Sea mermaids will lay their eggs in the bellies of male creatures!"

"I heard that there are people who want to experience this kind of experience, but it is absolutely impossible for normal people to accept such a thing!"
