Mermaids
It was hard to make out, but Mira clearly saw something that resembled both a fish and a human. With these things speaking in some foreign language, she was sure that it was an intelligent race and among the aquatic intelligent races she knows, they most closely resemble mermaids.
Before they knew it, they were quickly surrounded and had tridents pointed at them. They could also sense that these mermaids were around the Peak-Xiantian Stage while their leader was actually in the Core Formation Realm.
Mira didn't know if they could win since they are probably many times better at fighting in the sea than them. She could barely react to them surrounding her so she was sure that they would just get pummelled if they were to fight.
The three of them exchanged glances and ultimately decided to store their weapons. With that, the tension around the 8 of them dropped quite a bit.
