Super Island Tycoon

Chapter 1098: Chapter 1097: Signal

But Ba Lvuo never considered the idea of taming it into her pet.

It wasn’t that she never had such a thought at the time, but because that creature was a giant beast resembling a bull.

Although this creature was a herbivore, within the short period Ba Lv observed it, she witnessed it completely devour a large thicket.

Seeing this, Shang Lv left.

Joking aside, using such a creature as a pet, wouldn’t she have to be busy feeding it every day?

Would she have to carry a large bundle of fodder with her every time she left the house?

Having such a pet is simply a joke.

When she told Yanran about this matter, it indeed made her laugh out loud.

Now, the idea of how to find a suitable pet came back to Ba Lv again.

Her desire was so strong that she even considered the mermaid in front of her, but after some thought, she gave up the idea.

Although mermaids are beautiful and watching them is a visual delight, and they can attack with sound waves, their attacking power is too weak.

Most importantly, mermaids are marine creatures; they struggle to survive out of water. Would she have to carry a large water tank with her if she kept a mermaid as a pet?

After Jiang Cheng scouted the habitat of the sea wolves, he gained a deeper understanding of them. Targeting their weaknesses, he and Yanran began setting traps.

Besides leaving necessary mermaids as guards at the entrance of the bay to avoid arousing suspicion among the sea wolves, all other mermaids were herded into an inner cave, and Ba Lv was responsible for their safety.

Although reluctantly, Ba Lv stayed behind, and she requested Yanran to leave a few sea wolves for her.

Yanran agreed to her request.

Walking out of the hiding cave of the mermaids, Yanran took a long breath.

Actually, such an arrangement was suggested by her mentor, Jiang Cheng.

Yanran understood Jiang Cheng’s intentions.

Ba Lv was once an assassin, and having grown up in the Dark World since a young age, Jiang Cheng worried she might be affected by negative emotions, like killing.

Ba Lv’s hands have also been stained with others’ blood.

Jiang Cheng wanted to slowly weaken that murderous feeling in Ba Lv’s mind, making her realize that unless it was absolutely necessary, for self-defense or to punish enemies, one should not resort to violence.

Therefore, he tried to minimize Ba Lv’s involvement in bloody battles.

In the battle against the sea wolves, although their opponents were animals, not humans, Jiang Cheng was similarly worried that the fight might awaken the bloodthirsty desire buried in Ba Lv’s heart.

So he had Yanran persuade Ba Lv to stay behind and take on the responsibility of protecting the mermaids.

Jiang Cheng knew the relationship between Yanran and Ba Lvuo was very good; even though he could also effectively communicate with Ba Lv, and she would definitely comply, it was much better for Yanran to say it.

Yanran understood her mentor’s careful considerations.

She did not fail his expectations.

After leaving the cave, Yanran knew she had tasks to perform.

Yanran’s duty was, once the sea wolves entered the bay, to guard the only passage, cutting off the sea wolves’ retreat.

As for Jiang Cheng, the task of dealing with the sea wolves fell on him.

Flaming Firebird was on standby, ready to assist Jiang Cheng in eliminating the sea wolves or join Yanran to defend that passage. To the sea wolves, Flaming Firebird’s flames were a fearsome weapon.

As they were about to enter the cave, the Mermaid Leader looked at Jiang Cheng and repeatedly expressed her gratitude. Jiang Cheng assured her that as long as they hid well in the cave, when they emerged, the situation would be vastly different.

The Mermaid Leader was indeed a good leader; she repeatedly reminded the mermaids assigned with guarding tasks to be careful before shedding tears and entering the cave.

Those tasked with guarding roles were chosen from all the mermaids.

They are not only young, healthy, and strong, but their underwater skills are also more refined than other mermaids.

More importantly, they had the courage to make sacrifices for the destiny of the mermaid tribe.

Although every mermaid had such courage, the ones in front of Jiang Cheng were undoubtedly the bravest.

Jiang Cheng saw their eager expressions and felt a pang of worry for them when he thought of their duties.

A little while later, these mermaids would encounter the greatest danger of their lives, and Jiang Cheng and the others would hide to not alert the sea wolves.

Though their intelligence is not high, the sea wolves have sharp instincts for danger. To minimize suspicion, initially, everything needed to be carried out by the mermaids themselves.

With everything ready, Jiang Cheng signaled the start of the operation.

The bait mermaids swam out of their habitat, and their direction was precisely towards the island where the sea wolves resided.

To maximize the attraction of more sea wolves, Jiang Cheng had no choice but to make such arrangements.

He knew that this arrangement was exceptionally cruel for the bait mermaids, yet he had no other choice.

Their plan’s biggest challenge was how to lure more sea wolves into the ambush circle. With too few entering, the plan would be meaningless.

The sea wolves are trained to naturally regard mermaids as their enemies. Seeing mermaids triggers their duty to attack until repelled.

Jiang Cheng made such arrangements to let a few mermaids deliberately go to the sea wolves’ habitat to attract more attention.

The bait mermaids approached the sea wolves’ habitat. To draw attention, they sang while swimming.

The bravery of these bait mermaids was indeed commendable.

The sea wolves were undoubtedly attracted, but their unusual silence made the mermaids wary.

These sea wolves didn’t attack blindly; some emerged from caves, others from the water, all gathering on the island, watching the nearby mermaids.

Slowly, almost all sea wolves gathered on the island’s surface.

The bait mermaids, seeing so many sea wolves, were understandably afraid but still swam close enough to the sea wolves before pretending to notice them and fleeing in panic.
