After transmigrating, she became the most beloved beast in the world.

Chapter 103 Ancestral Land

In the center of the pool, the small boat slowly came to a stop. Chu Xinyao grabbed the gunwale with one hand and took out a dagger from her spatial storage as tableware with her right.

Ripples spread across the water's surface, concentric circles extending outwards from the center. Chu Xinyao's pupils suddenly contracted; the fallen beast was about to appear.

Although she was filled with fear, she also felt a strange anticipation. She wanted to see what the legendary fallen beasts looked like.

The waves on the water grew more and more violent, and Chu Xinyao's breathing became rapid. She gripped the dagger tightly, preparing to deliver a heavy blow to the fallen beast.

Her gaze was fixed on the water, not daring to relax for a moment; the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

Finally, the water broke open, and a gigantic figure slowly rose. Chu Xinyao's heart almost stopped; she saw the true face of the fallen beast.

It was a huge fish head, belonging to the legendary fish-dragon clan.

The ichthyosaur's head was unusually large, taking up almost a third of its body. Its large eyes, like two huge black pearls, were set on its broad skull, shimmering with a deep and mysterious light.

Its snout is long and sharp, like a razor-sharp spear. Its body is slender and streamlined, covered with smooth skin, which makes it move through the water with almost no resistance.

In the black pearl, Chu Xinyao saw herself; her pale face paired with a snow-white dress made her look incredibly beautiful.

Just as the ichthyosaur opened its massive jaws, preparing to swallow her whole, Chu Xinyao reacted swiftly, instinctively rolling to one side and narrowly avoiding the ichthyosaur's gaping maw.

Water splashed everywhere, the fish-dragon's attack missed, and it let out a low roar that echoed across the water.

The father and son, who were observing from a distance, both frowned; it seemed they had failed again.

"Father, it seems there's really no hope. Even such a beautiful female can't awaken its mind."

"Sigh, never mind, let them go down and rescue her! Once she's healed, we'll take the gold and silver and send her back," the middle-aged male beastman said helplessly.

However, at that moment, Chu Xinyao used all her strength to stab the dagger in her hand fiercely into the abdomen of the fish dragon.

The sharp blade of the dagger pierced the ichthyosaur's skin, and blood immediately gushed out, staining the surrounding water red.

The ichthyosaur let out a painful roar, its massive body churning in the water as it tried to escape Chu Xinyao's attack.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chu Xinyao released her grip on the dagger and quickly retreated. She couldn't swim, so she could only cling tightly to the edge of the small boat, her body rocking violently with the boat.

Her eyes remained fixed on the ichthyosaur, searching for the next opportunity to attack.

But she seemed to be unlucky; the ichthyosaur's massive tail slammed into the small boat, shattering it. Wood chips flew everywhere, water splashed, and Chu Xinyao was thrown into the water by the force of the impact.

She felt a suffocating sensation as the icy water quickly surrounded her. She struggled desperately, trying to surface.

The ichthyosaur's attack did not stop; its enormous body tumbled in the water, stirring up the currents and creating huge whirlpools.

Chu Xinyao's body was being pulled by the water, and she felt her strength gradually slipping away.

Just as the ichthyosaur opened its mouth to bite again, Chu Xinyao used Long Tingting's superpower to stun it with electricity, but she, who was also in the water, was also affected by the electric shock.

The electric current spread rapidly through the water, and Chu Xinyao felt a sharp pain. Her body convulsed involuntarily, and her consciousness gradually blurred.

The darkness underwater seemed to engulf her, and her body grew heavier and heavier, as if being pulled to the bottom by an invisible hand.

Just as she was about to sink into the endless darkness, a deep blue figure swam towards her. The figure stood out conspicuously underwater, like a ray of hope piercing through the dark waters.

The seaside scene appeared exceptionally tranquil in the afterglow of the setting sun, with golden sunlight spilling onto the shimmering sea surface, as if a layer of fine gold leaf had been laid out.

Chu Xinyao sat on the beach, her long hair clinging to her cheeks, seawater dripping from the ends. Her dress was soaked, and the already thin and transparent fabric offered no cover whatsoever.

Chu Xinyao took out a piece of animal skin from her spatial storage and draped it over herself. Looking at the tall man lying next to her, she stood up and kicked him with her foot. "Hey, are you alright?"

It was this man who saved her, but it was also this man who caused her to suffer all of this.

Because this man is the culprit—the Fallen Beast Fish Dragon.

The man slowly opened his eyes, his face blank, as if he had just woken from a chaotic dream. His gaze lingered on Chu Xinyao's face, as if searching for something.

"Sister?" His voice was youthful and uncertain, and his address seemed particularly abrupt at this moment.

"Who, who is your sister? Don't call me that."

Chu Xinyao asked unhappily, "What's wrong with this guy?"

Chu Xinyao's indifference startled the man. He tried to sit up, but Chu Xinyao's dagger was still stuck in his abdomen, where blood was still flowing.

"What am I doing?" The man's movements were somewhat difficult, confused, and even frightened.

He didn't know why he was injured, nor did he know why he was there.

Seeing that the man was no longer a threat, Chu Xinyao looked around and saw a deserted island in the vast ocean.

strange?

How did they suddenly appear here? Weren't they in the forbidden area of ​​the Merfolk just now?

However, the moment she fell into the water, everything seemed to change dramatically.

She stood up, trying to find any possible clues.

The scenery on the island was completely different from the forbidden area of ​​the merfolk, and there were no buildings around that we had seen before.

She couldn't help but wonder if the ichthyosaur had taken advantage of her unconsciousness and swam with her to this desolate place.

So, what is his purpose?

Recalling why she had been tied up, Chu Xinyao immediately became alert. She quickly wrapped herself tightly in animal hides, just in case.

Looking warily at the still bewildered man, she coldly asked, "Where is this? Why did you bring me here?"

The man snapped out of his daze and looked around. Everything here felt both familiar and strange to him. He slowly spoke, "This is the ancestral land."

"Ancestral land?" Chu Xinyao frowned as she examined the island again. It was desolate and lonely, with no sign of human habitation.

Is it the ancestral home of the Ichthyosaur race?

But this doesn't look like the birthplace of a people. There are no magnificent buildings, no signs of prosperity, only endless beaches and jungles, and a magnificent view of the sea and sky merging into one in the distance.

The man looked closely at his hands; they were no longer fins covered in scales, but human palms with clear knuckles and fingerprints.

He continued to examine his feet, legs, and even hair, each strand of hair arousing his curiosity.

This was the first time he had existed in human form, and every detail seemed so unfamiliar and wondrous.

He felt an unprecedented sense of freedom, but also a touch of confusion.

“Sister…” The female in front of him was clearly not his sister. She did not have the fishy smell they had from years of being in the sea, but instead had a rich fragrance.
