Maybe I shouldn't die.

Having said that, the Koi Monster sighed, and a complicated look appeared in his eyes.

Fang Yue guessed that something bad must have happened later, otherwise the Koi Monster would not behave like this. She continued to listen patiently.

Sure enough, the Koi Monster paused for a moment and continued:

"I went with great joy to the place where they had built a temple for me, which was by the water, and I was immediately spotted.

He earnestly asked me to stay a little longer, saying that he wanted to gather the believers to prepare more sacrifices for me. I didn't care about the sacrifices, but I did want to meet my believers.

So I agreed.

By dusk, there were more and more believers on the shore. Countless people began to cheer when they saw me. The smiles on their faces were so sincere and fanatical.

It was like a devout believer finally seeing the God he believed in. Although I was a little surprised that these believers were so devout, I didn’t think much about it.

They prepared rich offerings of fruits, cattle and sheep, and threw them into the water without any reluctance.

I was even more surprised because food is a very precious thing to humans and few people would offer me a sacrifice of large amounts of food.

I wanted to stop them, but they moved so fast that before I could say anything, the food was thrown into the water.

The food entering the water attracted a large number of aquatic creatures. This sacrifice was also a carnival for them, and countless fish and shrimps jumped out of the water happily.

The people who saw this scene became even more excited, and the crowd suddenly became chaotic. Someone even fell into the water during the pushing and shoving.

Hearing the cry for help, I swam over without hesitation, rescued the person, and wanted to send him to the shore.

How could I know that everything was just a human conspiracy.

Just when I sent the person to the shore, the person who was lying on my back and dying suddenly became energetic. Before I could react, he took out some powder from his arms and poured it on me.

When the people on the shore saw his actions, they also took out medicine powder from their pockets and sprinkled it on me. I don’t know where they got the powder from.

I lost my strength in an instant, and I couldn't use any of the demonic power in my body at all. When the crowd on the shore saw that I had lost my strength, they cheered even more wildly.

It was only then that I realized that these people’s enthusiasm and cheering were not out of their belief in me at all, but rather a cheer to capture me.

More people came out from the shore, holding harpoons or fishing nets in their hands, and surrounded me.

I don't want to just accept my fate.

Despite having lost my strength and magic power, I began to struggle, but the struggles seemed in vain. The barbed fishing net and the harpoons fell on me, piercing me and making me bleed profusely.

As the blood flowed out, the little bit of strength I had left also flowed away. In the end, I was unable to return to the water and was successfully caught.

After I was dragged ashore, a middle-aged man walked out from the cheering crowd. He just waved his hand, and the crowd quieted down instantly.

When the crowd quieted down, he was heard saying:

"Everyone has worked hard tonight. Everyone has contributed to capturing this Koi Monster. Today we will reward them according to their merits."

His tone was full of complacency, but my heart sank completely. This man must have set up a plan to capture me. At that moment, my heart was filled with hatred.

Why did they arrest me? I clearly hadn't hurt him, and the crowd that cheered even more excitedly after hearing his words, I clearly hadn't hurt them, so why did they come to hurt me?

However, their next move made me bloodshot. I saw the man waved his hand and someone came out immediately.

He took out a small knife and sliced ​​off a piece of flesh from my already bleeding wound, one cut after another, even collecting the flowing blood.

I counted, a total of 26 times. He cut my flesh into 26 pieces. The flesh was distributed to those who captured me, and the blood was distributed to the cheering crowd.

I watched them eagerly devour my flesh and blood, and the smiles on their faces became even more crazy and twisted.

I heard someone cheering in surprise:

"My illness is really cured."

"My hand doesn't hurt anymore."

The middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction when he heard the cheers. These lowly and inferior people were just test subjects for him to experiment with the flesh and blood of the Koi Monster.

And now the result obviously satisfied him, the greed in his eyes became even stronger, as if he saw a mountain of gold and silver.

I had completely lost hope of escaping.

He brought me back to his mansion and raised me. He locked me in a cage that he got from somewhere, and I was completely unable to use my magical powers.

Every once in a while someone would come to take my flesh and blood, and I gradually learned that this person was using my flesh and blood to make money. After all, in the eyes of mortals, the efficacy of this flesh and blood is no less than a panacea.

I was imprisoned like this for several years. After being taken away for several years, there was very little of my flesh and blood left. But how could a middle-aged man who had tasted the sweetness be willing to give up such a huge benefit?

While he slowed down the pace of selling my flesh and blood, he was looking around for new prey, and his plan was obviously successful, because not long after, a lotus demon was also locked up.

That lotus demon was really naive. Even after being captured, he didn't know he was deceived. It was not until he saw my miserable condition and had his flesh sliced ​​and his blood drawn that he finally came to his senses.

But he was just an ordinary Lotus Medicine, and he had practiced for even less time than I had, so he couldn't escape at all. After having his blood and flesh taken several times, he quickly became weak.

He knew that if he continued like this, he would die soon, but he didn't want to die here. He wanted to return to his lotus pond, so he asked me if I could send him home if there was a chance to escape.

He described his home to me, a lotus pond deep in the mountains, filled with lotus flowers and fellow tribesmen who, like him, were enlightened by the moonlight.

Of course I agreed. How could I miss the chance to escape? I swore an oath to heaven, promising to send him home.

With the witness of the Heavenly Oath, the Lotus Demon naturally believed me. He then told me that he had awakened his talent and could teleport me out.

I asked him why he didn't run away on his own, he just smiled bitterly and shook his head without further explanation.

At that time, my mind was filled with excitement about leaving, and I didn't pursue it too much. I just thought that he would become weak after using his talent and needed me to escort him home.

So I couldn't wait to urge him to take us away quickly, I really couldn't stay in this place for a moment.

The Lotus Demon did not refute. He activated his talent without hesitation and took the two of us away from there.

I was very excited after leaving prison. I finally escaped. I swore that I would never let go of those who hurt me so much.

However, I soon discovered something was wrong. The lotus demon beside me quickly weakened and soon completely lost its life.

Under my gaze, it quickly degenerated into a white lotus, which then quickly withered away.
