Free Web NovelChapter 864: Chapter 519: Shallow Water Wanderers, Tidal Fishman Altar
These two creatures are called Shallow Water Wanderers, a higher rank of Fishman Nightwalkers.
In their hands, they each hold a black spine.
They look somewhat like the bones of some large fish.
This is their weapon.
In terms of rank, these two are comparable to Tier Four Scouts.
From their previous combat performance, they are a bit stronger than average Tier Four Scouts.
This strength is not in terms of damage ability, but in stealth ability.

As Zong Shen expected, they are indeed the scouts among fishmen.
Their stealth skills are incredibly troublesome.
Zong Shen casually discarded the damaged [Magic Power Flashlight].
He reached out for a Legendary Level Knight’s Battle Sword.
Although this Knight Sword is equivalent to a heavy sword, Zong Shen can still wield it with one hand.
Just as he was about to step forward to deal with these two creatures.
A voice came from behind from Wenresa and Doris.
"Huh?"
"It’s actually this..."
There was a hint of surprise in their voices.
At this moment, the two Shallow Water Wanderers became agitated.
They were jumping up and down in place, seemingly anxious.
From their large fish heads, no changes in expression could be seen.
They were anxious, yet fearful of Zong Shen.
They started pacing back and forth in place.
"What did you see?"
Zong Shen did not turn around, he only asked in a deep voice.
"Sir, inside there are all fishman cubs."
Wenresa promptly reported.
"Cubs?"
Zong Shen immediately understood why these two Shallow Water Wanderers had such abnormal reactions.
This should be a "nursery" within the Rapids Tribe.
Fishmen gather their cubs here to feed.
Female fishmen secrete a milk-like substance from a gland at the end of their tails.
It is used to feed fishman cubs.
These two Shallow Water Wanderers are clearly here to protect these cubs.
Once Zong Shen understood the reason, the two Shallow Water Wanderers suddenly bowed to him.
The fishman bodies, which were not tall to begin with, bent over like a shrimp.
"Chirp chirp chirp..."
"Chirrup burble..."
Unfortunately, Zong Shen could not understand them.
He opted to use the Guide Module for real-time translation.
Lines of golden translation subtitles appeared.
"Honorable human, please spare our cubs..."
"We have never set foot in human towns."
"We have never harmed any human life..."
Along with their chattering, the translation appeared line by line.
These two are begging for mercy.
Behind him, Wenresa and the others were waiting for Zong Shen’s decision.
At this moment, Zong Shen took off his battle helmet and gently touched the right side of his face.
There was a not too deep wound there, like a slightly open baby’s mouth.
It stretched from his cheek slantwise to beneath his ear, about six or seven centimeters in length.
On Earth, this would already be considered a disfiguring wound.
Now, this wound continued to transmit a feeling of pain.
Zong Shen took a deep breath, drove the battle sword into the ground, and took out a small bottle of Moon God Spring, pouring it on his face.
"Don’t bother with those cubs."
After saying that, he gazed again at the two Shallow Water Wanderers.
He pulled out the battle sword in front of him and strode forward.
His agility was not low, his reflexes and movement speed accordingly very fast.
The two Shallow Water Wanderers were shocked, hastily escaping.
Zong Shen did not pursue them, silently sheathed his battle sword, and turned to enter the compartment.
The time they had left was not much.
They had already spent four or five minutes in this house.
Now they needed to hurry.
He quickly entered the compartment, where in the corner about thirty to forty fishman cubs were huddled together.
Their bodies measured about thirty to forty centimeters in length.
Their large fish heads gazed at Wenresa and the others.
In the compartment, there was also a small wooden trough filled with milky white liquid.
This was the source of the faintly gamey milk scent.
In a way, this indeed was the milk of Shallow Water Fishman.
Zong Shen was uninterested in these fishman cubs.
Nor did he have a bloodthirsty desire to slaughter, even though these cubs were merely "wild monsters" to him.
What he sought was an item the Guide Module deemed "valuable."
Following the Golden Circle Mark, he found a palm-sized fishman totem curled up in the corner among the fishman cubs.
Unable to inspect its functions, and ignoring the item’s presence in the "nursery,"
Zong Shen gestured for everyone to immediately follow him out of the wooden house.
Under the moon’s shadow, in the south near the lakeshore, large shadows appeared.
