Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

In fact, not only was Shuangshuang anxious, but Yan Ming was as well, and although Wu Yan and Wu Hai were Great Witches, their dispositions were entirely focused on battle.

The two didn’t necessarily like fighting with others, they simply enjoyed combat; on normal days, they liked sparring with each other or guiding the warriors of the Mammoth Clan and Silver Tiger Clan to improve their skills.

As for the various constructions in Hope City, they couldn’t be relied on at all. Currently, the only ones with brains in Hope City were Shuangshuang, Yan Ming, Dou Yan, Tu Ya, and Li Yi.

There were also Shuangshuang’s father and Mother Salan, Shi Li and Li Er, the now-grown Zhi Yi, and a couple of Beastmen from the Mammoth Clan.

Among these, Shuangshuang and Yan Ming were the main pillars, the most important. But now, with these two key figures teaming up to leave, the construction speed of Hope City has directly slowed by more than half.

How could Shuangshuang and Yan Ming not be anxious? Shuangshuang was worried but had no solution, while Yan Ming immediately prepared to set up divination again, hoping to find a clear indication.

He pinched a seal with his fingers, and a purple light slowly rose, connecting the heavens and earth, and a purple column of light appeared again, landing on Yan Ming’s forehead.

Shuangshuang stood quietly to the side, waiting to see Yan Ming’s divination result. But who knew, Yan Ming merely made a circle at the seaside, and the purple divination light vanished.

Shuangshuang looked at the circle Yan Ming drew under his feet, speechless for a long time. Yan Ming also looked at the circle beneath him for a long time before explaining to Shuangshuang, ”This divination result seems to suggest that the breakthrough is nearby, and we should find it ourselves.”

Shuangshuang was amused and angry by Yan Ming’s divination result. How is this divination result any different from not divining anything?

”So what do we do now? Do we just keep circling here?” Shuangshuang’s tone involuntarily grew a bit irritable.

Just as both Shuangshuang and Yan Ming were getting frustrated, they suddenly heard crying, the sound was faint, seemingly both distant and close, and it was incredibly sad.

This deserted seaside suddenly echoed with eerie crying, scary enough for timid people to run away immediately, never returning in their life.

But Shuangshuang and Yan Ming were different; they directly followed the direction of the sound. Eventually, they found the source of the crying on a rock not far from the seaside.

Shuangshuang was dumbfounded looking at the two women sitting on the rock, and three words popped into her mind: Mermaid! They were alive, as their upper bodies were human-like, but below the waist, they had fishtails.

However, after the initial excitement, Shuangshuang was puzzled. They were supposed to be mermaids, but why didn’t they have the stunning beauty rumored in legends? They looked like ordinary humans.

Moreover, the fishtails lacked the dazzling appearance of legendary mermaid tails—one was black as a loach, and the other was earth-yellow like an eel’s tail.

No matter how Shuangshuang looked, these two women, from their looks to their tails, had nothing beautiful about them, far from the legendary stunning mermaids.

Shuangshuang was influenced by the mermaid legend, so seeing people with human bodies and fish tails instantly made her think of mermaids.

But it was Yan Ming who was reliable; he directly addressed the two fish-tailed women sitting on the rock, ”Are you Beastmen of the Fishman Clan? Are you crying because of some trouble?”

Only then did Shuangshuang realize they weren’t mermaids but Beastmen of the Fishman Clan.

These two Fishman Clan girls were one big and one small; the younger looked about ten years old, while the older seemed to be an adult. The younger was a bit afraid, while the older one remained calm.

The older girl shielded the younger girl behind her, nervously looking at Shuangshuang and Yan Ming and said, ”We are people of the Fishman Clan, and this is my sister.

We are crying here because our Fishman Clan territory was attacked by the Water Rat Clan. My father, mother, and many clan members were captured by those water rats.

I heard the Beastmen of the Water Rat Clan are very brutal and like eating Beastman meat. I’m afraid they will eat my father, mother, and my clan members as food.”

”Waaah, I want my father and mother, I don’t want them to be eaten, sob...” As the girl’s voice fell, the sister blocked behind her began to cry upon understanding her words.

The Water Rat Clan can’t truly live underwater; they just prefer living by the water and are incredibly skilled at swimming with the ability to hold their breath underwater for a long time.

Though the Water Rat Clan Beastmen are not tall, the tallest somewhat around 1.5 meters, they are fierce and brutal, a cannibalistic tribe that hunts Beastmen regardless of food scarcity.

Due to this trait, the Water Rat Clan is notorious and universally disliked, with almost no tribe willing to interact with them.

Since the Water Rat Clan lives by the water, the Fishman Clan often suffers their harm; Fishman Clan members are often captured and eaten by the Water Rat Clan.

It’s mainly because Fishman Clan members are generally petite, with most having poor fighting abilities; thus, for the not-so-tall Water Rat Clan, Fishman Clan is ideal prey.

And compared to the risks of hunting wild beasts outside, grabbing Fishman Clan members is safer and more convenient, as Fishman Clan’s resistance rarely seriously harms the Water Rat Clan.

Because of the Water Rat Clan’s cannibal habits, they remain secluded, and all Super Tribe-held gatherings ban their entry, while other tribes encountering the Water Rat Clan typically ignore them or seek revenge.

Although their own issues were in disarray without a clear direction, Shuangshuang couldn’t just sit idly by upon encountering this situation, deciding to first help rescue the Fishman Clan members before waiting for a breakthrough.

The Water Rat Clan knew they were unwelcome, aware many Beastmen deeply hated them, and thus built their territory in a very concealed location, not easily found.

Shuangshuang didn’t waste effort but instead told Yan Ming to divine again; this charm-like skill had to be used at such times.

Yan Ming acted effortlessly, quickly deducing the Water Rat Clan’s hidden location.

Indeed, the Water Rat Clan knew how to hide; their entire tribe was in a concealed underground cave, located at the foot of a mountain.

At the mountain’s base, there was a significant depression, within which a small cave entrance resided.

The entrance was covered in misleading, chaotic grass, growing naturally so unless scrutinized, one couldn’t notice the small burrow entrance hidden behind the grass.

The burrow entrance was exceedingly narrow, aside from tribes as petite as the Water Rat Clan; others couldn’t enter, even Shuangshuang and Yan Ming’s slender physiques couldn’t manage.
