Arc 7: Mermaid or Siren? - Deepsea Behemoth Gong Chapter 75

Editor: SimoB

It was the middle of the night. Shi Qing started to examine his memories while playing with his tail.

Actually, there wasn't much to go over. The original host might have had a tail and resembled the kind mermaid found in fairy tales, but how could such an idealistic creature survive in the dangerous deep sea?

He was more like a siren than a mermaid. According to his inherited memories, sirens liked to lounge on reefs and sing to attract ships. Causing said ships to crash into the reefs was one of their favourite pastimes.

Sirens were also notorious for their great fighting strength underwater and their skin, which appeared delicate but couldn't be cut by even the sharpest object. They were almost invincible in the deep sea.

In a sea where the weak were the prey of the strong, it was natural to hunt others for their meat. As long as you have the strength, no one would object even if you clear out the entire area.

But the wicked sirens didn't kill their prey for food, they killed them for the thrill of the hunt.

Cruelty seemed to be engraved in every siren's bones. They had an innate instinct to provoke anything that wandered into sight. They thrived off the misery of others.

Many people believed the creatures of the sea to be simple minded beasts that only knew how to swim around, but they too had a strong desire to survive. This was reflected in the way they played dead after catching a glimpse of a siren from afar, if they couldn't sneak away in time.

The shallower areas were a different story. Because the attention of the sirens were focused on humans everytime they surfaced, the schools of pretty little fishes in the shallow areas were not very afraid of them. They would even chase after the sirens' tails or arms and gently nibble on the appendages, painting a truly beautiful image to behold.

Shi Qing chuckled once he finished checking his memories.

Shi Qing: [Tongtong, what kind of protagonist could possibly screw me over now that I'm this strong?]

No matter if it was on the shore or in the deep sea, a siren could kill whoever they wished just by opening their mouth. And they had even more options if they were underwater.

The system offered a cautious reminder: [Host, the body you're in hasn't matured yet.]

Shi Qing: [What's the difference? I can still go wherever I wish in the sea.]

He stretched his pale arms out to the large and bright moon hanging in the sky. With a slight motion, his originally harmlessly pink and round fingernails split to reveal claws that were sharper than knives beneath.

He idly extended and retracted them again and again.

The action was reminiscent of felines on land. Their paws might look pink, fuzzy and tender, but there were razor sharp nails hidden within, ready to tear anything or anyone to pieces at will.

Then Shi Qing turned to look at his tail. The long fish tail was a silvery white that seemed to glitter with a light of its own under the gentle moonlight.

It was hard to believe that something as beautiful as a piece of art was actually a deadly weapon.

For example, if he were to just swish his tail, he could bludgeon a shark or an orca to death.

Just think about how much more powerful such an attack would be on land, without water resistance.

Even if he was in the body of a child, there was basically no one who could beat him.
