I woke up to find myself transmigrated into a disabled child.

Chapter 371 Rushing Towards the High Seas

This time, Lezhi was no longer oblivious to the transformation; he was fully aware of all the changes. Therefore, when the fish tail actually appeared, Lezhi was not particularly surprised.

Pull out the water-based clothing that had been chewing in my mouth for a long time, and the bubbles surrounding my body burst open, instantly making me feel light.

Every inch of his skin was in close contact with the water. This feeling was completely different from being in a bubble. Now he felt more relaxed, freer, and more flexible.

Without experiencing any discomfort from lack of oxygen, Lezhi knew that his changes came from the inside out, and were not merely superficial.

That's good, otherwise it would have delayed his fight.

With his fishtail transformation, Lezhi's agility reached a new level. His sharp fingers were his most powerful weapon, and this time, the octopus could no longer stop Lezhi from getting closer.

Even though it had already waved its endlessly growing tentacles, leaving afterimages, it could only watch helplessly as Lezhi approached its most vulnerable head.

At the critical moment, the octopus spotted Cang Jin on the outside. Its survival instinct unleashed tremendous potential, and its tentacles suddenly erupted. Instead of continuing to futilely block Le Zhi, they all rushed towards Cang Jin.

Cang Jin, who was fighting back and forth with dozens of tentacles, was suddenly surrounded by a huge number of tentacles. Because there were so many of them, and the octopus was so big that the tentacles were just as big, they instantly wrapped Cang Jin up tightly.

His body was being squeezed, and Cang Jin let out a painful groan. As his tentacles continued to tighten, he experienced suffocation for the first time underwater.

Just as Lezhi was about to touch the octopus's head, he caught the cry of pain. His attacking hand paused slightly, and the octopus, seizing the slight moment of Lezhi's hesitation, fiercely shot out more tentacles, attacking Lezhi while simultaneously ejecting itself.

In just one round, it darted far away, decisively severing the tentacles that were enveloping Cang Jin.

Even after separating from its main body, the tentacles still tightly enveloped Cang Jin, following the last command. Although she knew that Cang Jin would be fine even if she ignored him, at most he would suffer a little, Le Zhi barely thought about it, glanced at the direction the octopus had fled, and immediately turned around.

With a few swift slashes, Cang Jin, who was almost suffocating, felt a sudden lightness around him. The tentacles that had been enveloping him disintegrated into pieces and scattered, revealing Le Zhi, who was swaying her silvery-white fish tail, before him.

Seeing him with her still scarlet eyes, as if confirming that he was alright was enough to complete her mission, Lezhi didn't wait for Cangjin to come back to his senses. She glanced regretfully at the tentacles that he had scattered in all directions. If he collected them all, he wouldn't have time to chase after the escaped octopus. But these tentacles were also food, and it would be a waste to leave them here.

Clearly capturing the regret in those scarlet eyes, Cang Jin felt absurdity and amusement from the bottom of his heart. The fear and apprehension he felt when he first saw those red eyes dissipated considerably as a result.

"This, cough cough, I'll help you collect these, there won't be any waste, don't worry." He could tell that Lezhi was just angry and hungry, as long as she didn't try to take his food, everything else was fine.

"That octopus..."

Lezhi, who had been drawn in by Cang Jin's words, had a sudden thought when Cang Jin mentioned the octopus that was about to escape. "That's my prey."

Frowning and giving him a reproachful look, Lezhi immediately turned around and quickly chased after the splash of water as the octopus fled.

Having taken in everything, Lei Xiu quickly caught up from his spectator position. He glanced at Cang Jin, who was still standing there in a daze, left him with a sentence, and then followed Le Zhi without looking back.

"Quickly pack this up, don't fight him for the food."

Who wants to take it from him?

Enraged by Lei Xiu, Cang Jin finally caught her breath and wanted to argue, but found that the two had already swum far away and were about to disappear from sight.

"This won't do. Once we're outside this zone, it's no longer a safe area. It's too dangerous for two outsiders to just go over like this." Cang Jin didn't have time to say anything. He quickly kept his promise, gathered up the scattered pieces of tentacle flesh, and hurriedly followed after them.

The division of territory among aquatic species is somewhat different from that of terrestrial species. The three races only designate a portion of the area surrounding their territory as a safe zone for daily patrols, while the other areas are interconnected and jointly protected by the three races, serving as their common areas.

The main reason is that the high seas area is too large and there are too many species living there. Most of these species spend their entire lives migrating. If a clear hunting area is defined, they might be in the Lingquan tribe's area today, but tomorrow they might be in the Hanhai tribe's area, and a few days later they might be in the Huanyin tribe's area. Hunting would be subject to many restrictions.

Moreover, aquatic creatures have their own methods of reproduction. Once they select a suitable breeding ground, they will not change it for hundreds of years. Each reproduction is a hunting frenzy for aquatic creatures. If this area belongs to only one species, it is not fair to the other two species. Therefore, aquatic creatures have managed their aquatic areas in this way from the beginning.

In other words, if Lezhi and Leixiu continue forward, they will leave the territory of the Spirit Spring Clan, which is not good at all...

The high seas are not so easy to navigate; even for their local aquatic species, entering the high seas requires extreme caution. Allowing these two 'distinguished guests' to enter the high seas so rashly was not part of his original plan.

With his mind racing, Cang Jin realized that saving face wasn't that important at this moment. After weighing the pros and cons, he ultimately decided that safety was the top priority.

When Lezhi only had eyes for food, and Leixiu only had eyes for Lezhi, only Cangjin cared about their safety. The conch shell hanging on his body as an ornament was activated, and a distress signal unique to the aquatic tribe silently spread.

……

Just then, a group of people who were hunting in the high seas received a message: "Captain, we have received a distress signal. Judging from the direction, it is coming from the Lingquan tribe."

"The Spirit Spring Clan?" The person called the captain didn't speak, but another team member who was nearby chimed in, "Could it be that one of their little rascals, relying on the tortoise's presence, has run off and caused trouble again? Why didn't the tortoise stop him..."

"Hiss, no way, even a turtle couldn't handle this, it's definitely no small matter, Captain..."

With the Blue Moon just past, things have entered a rare period of calm. Adults are generally well-behaved, and a small team venturing into international waters usually doesn't encounter any trouble. So, they naturally thought of the underage group.

Only the man called the captain raised an eyebrow. He had already judged from the color of the lit conch shell and the energy fluctuations that this was a distress message sent by Cang Jin. It was impossible for a minor to make such a commotion as to make Cang Jin call for help. How could he not believe it?

Regardless of the circumstances, having received a distress call from another tribe, we must go and see for ourselves. The man's deep voice rang out, "Line up, let's go and see."

……

Also receiving the distress message were Canglong and the Lingquan Clan guards stationed not far from the Stone Forest. This was the edge of the safe zone, within their daily patrol area. Today, when they patrolled here, they saw Canglong with the turtle and a group of little creatures. They were surprised, and before Canglong could explain the reason, Cangjin's distress message had already arrived.

"Oh no, something might have happened to them. No way, what could it be? Even Cang Jin and Lei Xiu couldn't handle it?" Cang Long muttered to himself.

“No matter what, Captain Cang Jin’s request for help means he’s definitely out of control. Judging from the direction, his current location is… in international waters. We’ll go there immediately. Cang Long, please take them back and also inform the clan so they can arrange for others to come and continue the patrol. I’m afraid there might be other hidden dangers.”

The squad leader in charge of the patrol made a decisive decision, giving Canglong no chance to refuse. After speaking, he led a team of people to swim towards the high seas.

Canglong had no choice but to lead a group of children back the way they came. They didn't notice that from beginning to end, they were all in their own panic, while only the tortoise remained unusually calm.

After safely returning the children to the Spirit Spring Clan, the turtle thought for a moment, but couldn't resist its curiosity, and rushed towards the high seas with a speed and agility that belied its enormous size.

Knowing there was going to be some excitement, I couldn't bear not to go and see! The turtle's here...
