Merfolk

## Overview

There was a legend amongst fishermen by the sea. In the blue vast ocean, there was a group of beautiful and mysterious creatures. They were the children of the Emperor of the Sea who enjoyed the gift of the sea. Their hair was the beautiful color of the oceans, and their eyes were as clear as the purest sapphires. They were the best singers in the world, and those who had heard them would never forget that sound of nature.

Merfolk, the children of the sea. They had a human upper body and a fishtail as their lower body; they liked to sit on the reef and sing gently to the moon the night after high tide. Their songs could make the most experienced sailors forget the danger and just stay and listen.
But these beautiful creatures were as capricious as the sea that nurtured them, and beneath their beauty lay a frightening danger.

The merpeople’s song had an irresistible charm, and their appearance alone was enough to make people fall for them. If you were attracted by their song and swam with them in the sea, you would sink into the depths and sleep in the endless ocean forever (Chapter 2377).

Merfolk had certain advantages in the ocean. There were few water magical beasts that actively attacked the merfolk.

## Background

Ordinary merfolk tribes generally did not know where their rulers were, and only when their king was in danger did the Merfolk King use sound waves to send signals in the ocean, bringing together the mermaids and mermen from all over the sea. In the last battle between gods and devils, the ruler of the merfolk gathered all his people together in this way. Aside from that, it was impossible for the average merperson to know where the ruler really was. After all, in terms of quantity, there were twice as many merfolk as there were humans!

## Age

Merpeople grow very slowly in the ocean. It takes eighty years for them to grow to the same size as a human of eighteen.

## Unity

The merfolk were very united. Their unity was quite strong in the face of great threats; even after they learned they would face the powerful devils, they did not flinch at all.

## The Sea and Ocean

The place where the merfolk lived was a completely different place from that of other races. Whether humans, elves, dragons, undead or dwarves, they would look for a continent suitable for their survival, but the merfolk were completely different. They lived in the boundless sea, which was much larger than the various continents. Everyone only knew that merfolk lived in the sea, but no one knew in which part of the sea their ruler was located.

Merfolk could be found all over the ocean and could be found along the coasts of many continents. It could be said that the sea was the continent of the merfolk, but the size of this continent was too vast. Even if you added up all the continents that Shen Yanxiao had been to before, it was not as large as half the area of the ocean (Chapter 2376).

## Merfolk's Hometown

Compared with other races, the world of the merfolk was more closed. In particular, the merpeople who lived in the hometown of the merfolk lived a carefree life under the protection of their Merfolk King. They had never had enemies, unlike the merpeople in the offshore waters, who were very close to the various continents and needed to have a basic understanding of the situation on these continents to be more capable of fighting. As far as fighting capacity was concerned, the merpeople in the hometown of the merfolk were more like a beautiful symbol of living in paradise.

Only the most beautiful merpeople were eligible to go to the merfolk’s hometown, where beauty alone was enough. Although the merpeople here looked more beautiful than flowers, their psychological persistence was far less than that of the merpeople in the offshore waters (Chapter 2390).

## Housing

The merpeople’s houses could be very simple. As long as they had enough large shells, they could use them as a temporary residence. The merpeople decorated their new homes with coral and seaweed. Precious stones and pearls were also embedded in the shells.
Merpeople had an extraordinary pursuit of beauty. They would collect all kinds of materials in the ocean to make their rooms extremely beautiful. They would also take care of themselves carefully on normal days. Therefore, merpeople had always been the embodiment of beauty in rumors. Both men and women paid great attention to their appearance and cherished their fishtails (Chapter 2425).

## Multicolored Mermaid

It takes 10,000 years for a multicolored mermaid to appear among the merfolk. The multicolored mermaid is the embodiment of Neptune, the Sea God. They were destined to be the rulers of the Merfolk Race from birth. In the previous battle between gods and devils, the last multicolored mermaid was the leader of the mermaids at that time. She fought alongside the superior god Neptune. The multicolored mermaid was Neptune’s wife, who was in charge of all the mermaids. Unfortunately, after his death, she also died together in the name of love. After that, the multicolored mermaid has never appeared again (Chapter 2394).

Shen Yanxiao has the blood of a multicolored mermaid. But her blood is not as pure as Xi Yan's.

The multicolored mermaid can be said to be the supreme ruler of the merfolk, and only one will appear in ten thousand years. Moreover, the life span of the multicolored mermaid is much longer than that of the ordinary merperson. If a multicolored mermaid can survive ten thousand years, then it is impossible for a second multicolored mermaid to be born among the merfolk during that period (Chapter 2419).

## Pearl Milkstone

The tears of the merfolk, each the only tear one would leave in their life, were indeed very beautiful. Even the purest gem in the world could not be its equal. Devils had been killing the merpeople and collecting their tears since a long time ago, not only because of the beauty of the tears of the merfolk, but also because of the power contained within. This was also known as a Pearl Milkstone (Chapter 2397).

## Fluctuations of the Sea Water

The merfolk is able to feel the subtle changes in the sea water, neither through hearing nor vision, but as if every pore of the skin could detect the information from the sea water. This was the ability of the merfolk, the instinct to communicate with the sea (Chapter 2399). They can feel fluctuations in the sea water.

## Fighting Strength

Young merpeople were not good fighters, nor were they good at protecting themselves.
