Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

The caves of the Water Rat Clan are not only too small for Shuangshuang and Yan Ming to squeeze through, but even if they could, they wouldn’t foolishly enter the opponents’ stronghold to fight.

Even a cunning rabbit has three burrows, so a despised and hunted race like the Water Rat Clan will be even more vigilant, and their dwellings surely have more than one entrance.

Shuangshuang and Yan Ming circled around, intending to find other entrances to the Water Rat Clan’s caves and seal them up, trapping them inside.

The Water Rat Clan is extremely vigilant, and as Shuangshuang and Yan Ming circled the mountains, they discovered a total of six entrances, two of which were incredibly concealed and wouldn’t have been found without keen observation.

Moreover, at each of these six entrances, the Water Rat Clan had set up alarms and hidden guards to monitor enemies, clearly indicating their high level of vigilance.

However, these hidden guards couldn’t escape Shuangshuang’s perception, and with Shuangshuang and Yan Ming intentionally concealing themselves, it was impossible for ordinary beastmen to detect the presence of a Great Witch.

Ultimately, Shuangshuang effortlessly dealt with these hidden guards. She has always been ruthless when it comes to those races that feed on humans.

In the process of searching for the hidden cave entrances and hidden guards of the Water Rat Clan, Shuangshuang and Yan Ming also fortunately stumbled upon the place where the Water Rat Clan stores food: a separately excavated, winding underground cave.

Inside, it stored wild vegetables and fruits, along with many dried meats. These meats had human-like upper bodies and large fish tails, neatly hung in mid-air within the cellar.

It turns out that they were all beastmen of the Fishman Clan! The inner organs of their human-like upper bodies had been hollowed out, and their hair and scales had been removed.

Each Fishman Clan beastman, dried and withered, was hanging limply by ropes around their necks, swaying in the air, looking extremely eerie!

The Water Rat Clan, residing by the sea, lacked no salt, thus there were numerous Fishman Clan beastmen properly preserved and hung inside the cellar.

Shuangshuang and Yan Ming, with grim faces, took a few steps forward and turned a corner to discover over a dozen Fishman Clan beastmen who appeared to have just been killed.

The bodies of these freshly dead Fishman Clan beastmen were still fresh, their faces twisted in agony, their chests split open with no internal organs, and the scales on their fish tails were scraped clean.

With their skin and flesh curled from wounds, it was evident that these beastmen had been gutted alive, salted, and preserved, a death that was clearly exceedingly painful and looked quite appalling!

What angered Shuangshuang and Yan Ming even more was, after bypassing these freshly pickled corpses, finding a row of clay pots ahead. Opening them revealed the corpses of Fishman Clan infants inside.

The Water Rat Clan seemed to consider these infant corpses as a rare delicacy, meticulously prepared, not just simply cleaned, salted, and dried.

They used unknown spices to carefully marinate these Fishman Clan infants and neatly pack them into the clay pots.

Shuangshuang hadn’t felt such intense murderous intent for a long time. She now had only one thought: to slaughter the Water Rat Clan to extinction upon leaving.

Such a disgusting race shouldn’t exist, and even if they were annihilated, it wouldn’t be regrettable; rather, it would be a cause for celebration.

Yan Ming shared the same irrepressible rage, unable to suppress his fury, he told Shuangshuang, ”There’s no lack of food at this time of year, yet this Water Rat Clan captures so many Fishman Clan people as food.”

He continued, ”It seems it’s their cruel nature; such a race shouldn’t survive. Leaving them alive would only bring harm, better if they didn’t exist.”

Yan Ming, usually composed and rarely angered, with a temperament that’s calm and stable, and not inclined towards death, was so furious that it drove him to say such words, showing the depth of his anger.

Shuangshuang naturally agreed with Yan Ming’s proposal, and the two continued walking forward, accelerating their pace, unwilling to witness more Fishman Clan beastmen corpses made into dried meats.

Soon, they reached the innermost part of the tunnel, where nearly a hundred Fishman Clan beastmen were tied up. These beastmen looked extremely distressed, with severely cracked lips.

The scales on their tails appeared dry and dull, looking severely dehydrated, indicating that these Fishman Clan beastmen hadn’t had contact with water for a long time.

Indeed, facing inevitable death to be made into preserved meat, the Water Rat Clan naturally wouldn’t care whether these destined prey were thirsty or hungry.

The Fishman Clan is also pitiable; diverse in types, unlike the land beastmen who group by species, the Fishman Clan typically blends multiple tribes in their dwellings.

However, they face a limitation; fierce, formidable Fishman Clans stay deep in the oceans, seldom coming ashore, while weaker ones reside in shallow waters, lack protection from the fierce clans.

This results in the Fishman Clan being nearly universally preyed upon, living under great pressure, though they avoid land beastmen by hiding in water, hence their life is bearable.

But encountering a water-skilled beastman like the Water Rat Clan is disastrous; other than quick aquatic maneuvers, the Fishman Clan lacks defenses.

Without sharp teeth or claws, they stand no chance against even the weak land beastman race like the Water Rat Clan.

Those tied-up Fishman Clan beastmen had vacant stares, seemingly paralyzed by fear or resigned to their fate, without reacting even as Shuangshuang and Yan Ming approached them.

Shuangshuang frowned, crouched with Yan Ming, and began untying them individually, while using witch power to treat their injuries.

Shuangshuang examined generally, finding the situation acceptable, as the Water Rat Clan captured them for food, and hadn’t tortured them, merely tying them here.

Yet, Fishman Clan beastmen need water, now evidently dehydrated, combined with severe fright.

Shuangshuang first used witch power to soothe their nerves, then alleviated their dehydration symptoms.

While treating, Shuangshuang comforted the Fishman Clan beastmen, ”Don’t be afraid. We’re here to rescue you.

It’s over. I’m treating you now, and you’ll soon be free from here, and return to the tribe, so don’t worry.”

Yan Ming, not adept at consolation, silently untied the Fishman Clan beastmen’s ropes and assisted in treatment.

Initially, these beastmen showed little reaction, staring blankly at Shuangshuang and Yan Ming, remaining indifferent even while being untied and treated, extremely numb.
