When Ye Feng boarded the ship earlier, he had already sensed a strange aura from the crew member who was shouting.
He had confirmed multiple times that the guy was just human, so he didn't pay much attention.
Now, hearing the crew members mention the Sea Tribe, it was likely that the aura he felt earlier was indeed from the Sea Tribe.
However, Ye Feng still had a question about the transformation ability the crew members had just mentioned.
To his disappointment, the crew members didn't continue their discussion.
The ship continued to sail, speeding towards the island ahead.
Before long, they arrived at the small island and stopped.
The captain immediately ordered the crew to drive Ye Feng and the others off the ship, commanding them to head towards the island.
In no time, Ye Feng and the others witnessed a shocking scene.
On this small island, there were many strange-looking beings.
Some had human heads and snake bodies, some had human heads and fish bodies, and some had human heads and octopus bodies… It was truly astonishing to behold.
"Are these all Sea Tribe people?" Ye Feng asked in shock.
Cai Er, standing beside Ye Feng, replied, "That's right. Most of the Sea Tribe's characteristics are having evolved human heads, but to facilitate movement in water, their lower bodies retain their original forms!"
"Only those who have cultivated to the Grandmaster level can transform freely and appear human!"
Ye Feng nodded, knowing this already. It was because the Cang Long senior in the Misty Sea Territory was a Grandmaster-level expert and had once transformed into a human.
Seeing Ye Feng and the others arrive, the Sea Tribe people immediately gathered around them.
Soon, a group of very strong, tall figures walked forward, making one tremble involuntarily.
These figures were different from other Sea Tribe people. They were very similar to humans overall, with hands and feet, but they had large tails trailing behind them, and their bodies were covered in a layer of hard scales.
However, one person was completely different, and that was the middle-aged man walking at the forefront.
He looked entirely human and was even wearing human clothes. If they hadn't seen him here, Ye Feng and the others would have absolutely believed he was a human.
"What race is this?" Ye Feng asked curiously.
The strong man beside Cai Er replied, "This is the Giant Crocodile Tribe among the Sea Tribe! They are a race evolved from crocodiles in the sea!"
Ye Feng then asked, "The one at the front is with them, but he doesn't look like a Sea Tribe person at all. Could that guy be..."
However, Ye Feng's words were interrupted by the strong man behind Cai Er. Staring at the man, he whispered, "He is a Grandmaster expert!"
"What? A Grandmaster?" Ye Feng was greatly surprised.
Cai Er also exclaimed in shock, "What? A, a Grandmaster? No wonder I couldn't see through his cultivation!"
"But how can a Grandmaster-level expert exist in a place like this?" Ye Feng asked, puzzled.
Although Ye Feng didn't know how powerful the Sea Tribe was, beings at the Grandmaster level should be extremely rare, so how could one be found here?
Cai Er shook her head, "I don't know. He should be here on some mission… Hmm? Could it be….."
As she spoke, Cai Er suddenly turned to look at the strong man behind her.
The strong man also seemed to have thought of something, his face filled with shock and worry.
This made Ye Feng feel bewildered, and he quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
However, just as Cai Er was about to say something, the Giant Crocodile elder seemed to sense something and immediately looked over.
Seeing this, Ye Feng and the other two quickly concealed their cultivation and aura, then shifted their gaze.
The man didn't discover them and frowned.
At this moment, the captain, looking at the terrifying Sea Tribe people, bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, esteemed sirs!"
One of the leading Giant Crocodiles stepped forward, pointed at the captain, and said to the middle-aged man, "Third Elder, these are the humans who have pledged allegiance to us! Many humans we encounter are captured by them!"
The middle-aged man glanced at the captain and his crew, then turned to look at Ye Feng and the others who were tied up behind them.
Upon seeing these dozen or so humans, he immediately showed a look of satisfaction, saying, "A dozen or so, very good, very good! Well done!"
"Thank you for your praise, sir. How many potions can these people be exchanged for?" the captain asked expectantly.
The middle-aged man looked at a Giant Crocodile beside him with some confusion.
The latter immediately whispered an explanation in his ear.
After hearing the Giant Crocodile's explanation, the middle-aged man finally spoke, "I see. You've done well this time. Each of you will receive one bottle!"
"What? One bottle each? That's wonderful! Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"
The captain and the crew behind him were filled with excitement and repeatedly expressed their gratitude.
Soon, Ye Feng and the others saw a Giant Crocodile handing over several strange vials to the captain.
Seeing those vials, Ye Feng was taken aback.
Just as he was about to get a closer look to understand what they were, a Giant Crocodile suddenly spoke, "Elder, should we take them to the seabed now?"
"No, the last batch was just sent back. This batch of only a dozen or so is too few! Let's wait until we subdue the Merman Tribe and the Mermaid Tribe in the Misty Sea Territory, and then send them back together!" the leader said.
Hearing this, Ye Feng was immediately shaken!
The next second, Ye Feng and Cai Er spoke in unison.
"I see!"
"As expected!"
Upon hearing each other, they both looked at each other in surprise.
However, before they could figure out what was going on, the Giant Crocodiles suddenly came over and escorted them into a cave.
Inside the cave, Ye Feng and Cai Er stared at each other.
Ye Feng spoke, "Who are you people? How do you know about the Merman Tribe and the Mermaid Tribe?"
"Hmph, I should be asking you that! How do you, a human, know about the Merman Tribe and the Mermaid Tribe?" Cai Er asked, puffing out her cheeks.
Hearing this, Ye Feng was surprised, "Hmm? What do you mean, 'a human'? Aren't you humans?"
"Oops, I let it slip!" Cai Er covered her small mouth and said.
At this moment, the strong man behind them looked at Ye Feng and said, "We are indeed not human!"
"What? You're not human? Then what are you?" Ye Feng asked in disbelief.
The strong man didn't answer Ye Feng immediately but said, "This is not the place to talk. Let's go out first!"
Ye Feng nodded, "Alright!"
With that, Ye Feng circulated his Sea God power, and the ropes binding him instantly snapped.
Cai Er and the strong man behind her also easily broke free from their ropes, and the three of them immediately disappeared into the cave.
Soon, they appeared in a dense forest on the small island.
Upon arriving, Cai Er asked, "How do you know about the Mermaid Tribe and the Merman Tribe?"
Ye Feng frowned, "If you want to know, you first tell me who you are?"
Hearing this, the two exchanged glances, and Cai Er then said, "Alright!"
With that, Cai Er's spiritual energy flowed, and a colorful light emanated. Following that, Ye Feng witnessed an incredible scene...
