Chapter 634: Cooperation and Future Ocean Forces

After asking in detail, well then — the pink-haired siren Revef had no idea at all where the other deformed giant sirens were located.

Saying he'd help her find them, she very likely had the idea of dragging things out while searching, wanting to keep Rod tied to her side.

That thing being a threat was true enough.

But asking Rod to accompany her searching for those things across the vast ocean would probably be hard to find and troublesome.

He immediately tossed her a communication magic stone.

"You go ahead and search, mobilize your entire tribe to search together. The moment you find one, contact me immediately. No matter how far, I'll come over. When the time comes, I can also give you all a reward."

Rod thought for a moment, afraid she wouldn't do the work.

He said to Tally beside him: "Tally, put a soul contract on her, force her to go search."

"Yes, Mr. Master."

"Hold on!"

Revef waved her hands in a panic:

"The threats in the ocean aren't only those giant demons. They'll compress our living space, but they won't kill us right away. There are other things that pose an even greater threat to the weaker siren tribes!"

Sure enough.

She was once again speaking half-heartedly, holding something back.

"What is it? Speak directly. If you keep talking in half-sentences again, watch out or I'll beat you."

Sharon had a bad temper and cursed a few times the moment she opened her mouth.

Revef glanced at her with some fear, then looked back at Rod.

"It's the Sahwa Fishmen. Ever since the Magic Web sky-curtain and the giant demons appeared, the Sahwa Fishmen have also undergone changes. Their skin turned bright red, they became impossible to communicate with, crazy and violent, seemingly dead set on killing every living thing in their field of vision."

As she spoke,

her eyes reddened, and her fingers twisted together restlessly.

"I'm really so scared of running into those guys. If we bump into them, we'll definitely be killed! Then I won't be able to properly serve my lord, you. Just thinking about it makes me want to cry. Boohoo—"

Dimia was afraid Rod would be muddled by the girl's green-tea words.

She immediately cast a lie-detection spell: "The fear is real, but the part about being afraid she can't serve you is fake."

"Tch, annoying."

Revef secretly clicked her tongue and cursed softly.

Rod heard it but didn't really care.

He thought for a moment.

"We'll give you and your tribe some resources for self-defense, and we can also help you clear out those unnatural deformed creatures. But I need you all to help us protect the safety of the Coral Bay coastal shipping routes."

Rod's ocean forces were limited.

Compared to the greedy, naturally predatory ghost pirates who could slip away even better than mud loaches, supporting a persecuted siren tribe was clearly more cost-effective.

"You want us to work for Coral Bay?"

"You can understand it that way."

"Doesn't that mean we can't eat human flesh anymore from now on!"

Revef had some sense; she knew that reaching an agreement meant only being able to eat fish from then on.

But fish wasn't as tasty as human flesh!

Sirens were a race whose appetite and desire were hard to control — this was also why very few humans could reach agreements with them.

"Not quite, not quite."

Rod used 【Limb Proliferation】 to grow an extra finger, then cut it off.

He dangled the bloody thing in front of Revef.

The young lady siren widened her beautiful eyes, watching helplessly as the cut-off finger proliferated again, with extra fingers crazily growing from the cross-section and along the finger joints.

The blood and meat fragrance of a peak Eighth-Tier being filled her nostrils.

From her nostrils it spread to her chest, the scent clutching her heart and liver, tickling her lungs, an unbearable tingling itch.

She could no longer stand it and burst out with an uncontrolled scream: "Give it to me!"

Rod looked at the words 【Gluttony Points +72】 on his panel and snorted with a laugh.

He released the mess of proliferated fingers and let them drop into the sea.

"What are you doing?!"

Revef lost control and roared, fangs and claws bared, utterly savage and terrifying.

Rod's gaze swept over coldly, and she instantly backed down at lightspeed, shrinking her shoulders, turning back into a delicate, gorgeous beauty.

He chuckled twice and tossed two Mei Mo Fa rings over.

Fear was on Revef's face, but after seeing clearly she couldn't help being astonished:

"Mei Mo Fa rings? Seventh-Tier? The Heavenly Court Flower Kingdom isn't putting any Seventh-Tier rings out at all now — where did you get them?!"

Those were respectively 【Bigby Grabbing Palm】 and 【Fangtooth Vortex】, both spells usable underwater and quite effective against large creatures.

The fact that the Heavenly Court Flower Kingdom no longer exported Mei Mo Fa rings had a deep impact on all circles, and the races of the ocean were no exception.

Rod took out a big handful of Mei Mo Fa rings and waved them in front of her.

Right in front of her, he stuffed a handful each into Sharon's, Dimia's, and Tally's hands.

A small flex of wealth.

Not only her, even the sea elf Lola widened her eyes.

She gazed at Rod longingly, hoping she too could be stuffed with a big handful.

Unfortunately.

Rod pretended not to see and continued looking at Revef.

"If you can't make up your mind, have your clan's spokesperson come to Coral Bay to talk. Just say they're looking for me."

After saying that.

Without waiting for her response, he had Tally forcibly bind her with a soul contract to search for the giant mutated Siren, then tossed her straight back into the sea.

Reef didn't leave immediately. She surfaced and stared deeply at Rod.

Only then did she dive back into the sea.

The sea surface returned to calm.

Quite a bit of time had been wasted; the sunlight was gradually turning amber.

"Impressive, truly impressive. Mr. Rod has once again made a young girl of another species unable to forget him."

The sea elf Laura said, clapping.

Dimia had somehow also pulled out a notebook, scribbling and doodling.

Rod stole a glance and saw the title: 'First Encounter with the Siren Girl.'

Hmm.

I noticed recently—aren't your novels a bit too much based on me?

The hero Ophir can already use 【Giant Slash】 lately, but he clearly never uses weapons normally.

"Do we need to build a big water tank in the forest in advance? Siren sea-demons can grow legs, but they need to bathe in seawater every so often. Though keeping her at Coral Bay would also work—I'll discuss it with Watching Yuna."

Tally said.

". No need for now."

"For now~~ oh—hehe."

Sharon, still in his arms, said in a barbed tone, shooting Rod a cold glare.

Rod smiled, his hands not behaving as they roamed over her peaches.

The girl didn't resist either; instead she secretly snuggled closer into his arms, then kicked off with her foot and drifted away.

She reminded him: "That mutant's domain is strange—it's spread by song. Laura's recording stone must have captured it; it needs to be dealt with."

Laura's face changed.

She hurriedly hugged the floating recording stone on her head to her chest: "I'll just edit it down, why does it need to be dealt with? The recording stone is a newspaper reporter's soul!"

"Can you withstand the domain?"

"I—"

On this kind of question, Rod would not compromise.

He reached his large hand straight into her chest, snatched the tightly-held recording stone, and crushed it in one grip.

Laura's expression fell. She gave Rod a resentful look and began writing in her notebook: 'Ranger Rod the pervert confirmed—our poor editor was groped, chest and butt both pinched swollen!'

"."

Rod ignored her and flew back with the girls.

"Speaking of which, Tally, where's today's racial trivia?"

"Th-that kind of embarrassing thing—how could I possibly say it!"
