"Clap."

After the girl disappeared into bubbles, a small black box fell into Xia Qi's arms.

Because the surrounding area was too messy, Xia Qi stuffed the box into his backpack first.

Just after the girl disappeared, the system alert sounded.

[Ding dong!Route progress +10%, total progress 90%! 】

"What?!" Xia Qi couldn't help but gasp.

Did he choose to disappear at this time specifically to point him in the right direction?

Could it be that he couldn't wait any longer...

Just as Xia Qi was struggling in place, another scream sounded.

"Ahhh, what came this time is not a skeleton, but a group of monsters!"

Tony yelled in dismay from the bow, he raised his hand, pointing in horror at the shadow that suddenly appeared in mid-air.

Xia Qi stared up at the sky, and saw shadows of human bodies and fish tails suddenly appearing in the churning black mist, as if there were countless mermaids riding the wind and waves, rushing towards them.

When the group of mermaids got closer and closer, Xia Qi finally saw clearly that this is not a group of living mermaids, but a group of dead mermaid skeletons and mermaid corpse soldiers who can't die anymore!

Different from the human pirate skeletons that appeared last time, there were skeletons in this group of mermen, as well as half-dried or rotten corpses. The first batch to board the ship were more than a dozen bloody merman corpses.

These merman corpses have no hair, no eyes, their pale or festered skin covers the skull, and the empty black eye sockets are emotionless.

On the skin and flesh of this group of sharks that was soaked white, there were many scars scratched open by the knife, densely covering their bodies like spider webs, and in the black wounds that were opened, the wounds were going Black and yellowish pus dripped continuously.

The fish tails on the lower body of the merman's corpse were also bloody and bloody. After these fish tails landed on the deck, they instantly turned the deck into a sea of ​​black pus, and even the air was filled with a rancid stench.

"It's disgusting!" Tony took a step back, pulled his cooking artifact teammate, and kept retreating in the direction of the fishing boat.

At this moment, a nearly two-meter-tall merman flicked forward, screaming and pounced on Tony!

"Ahhh! Let me go!"

Suddenly being thrown to the ground by the merman, Tony turned pale with fright. Seeing that the merman seemed to have lost his mind, he opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of tattered fangs, and bit him on the face. Several pieces of skin and flesh were torn off Tony's face, and blood flowed all over his face.

Seeing that his teammate was bitten terribly, the male player of the cooking artifact raised his foot and kicked away the crazy merman, then pulled Tony up again, and the two cooperated to release the fishing boat.

However, as there were more and more mermen on the boat, the remaining mermen rushed towards Tony and the male player of Cooking Artifact once again.

"Get out!" Tony suddenly had a folding fan in his hand, and he swung the fan with the peach blossoms on it towards the merman, and the fan shook out a gust of wind wrapped in peach petals, instantly fanning the merman until the peach blossoms bloomed.

All the players concentrated on the deck to release fishing boats, some released them late and some released them early. The first one to slip into the water was Xia Qi. After he had already started rowing, Tony jumped down with the male player of the cooking artifact.

Both of them suffered a lot of injuries, half of Tony's face was almost gone, and the male player of the cooking artifact was also stabbed a few times in the chest.

Beyond that, the rest of the players are in even worse shape.

The young master didn't know what was going on, his chest was cut several times, and the corners of his eyes were also injured. He didn't know if his eyes could still be seen. At this time, he was weakly lying on a fishing boat, letting the fierce man Row hard.

As for the female player who lost a teammate, her entire arm was torn off by the merman. With one hand trembling, she rowed the boat beside Xia Qi with difficulty, seeing that she couldn't even stabilize her figure, like It is to be planted in the water.

Xia Qi held the magic wand in one hand, stretched out the other hand towards her, and shouted anxiously: "Come on my boat!"

His fishing boat was originally prepared for him and the girl. Seeing that the girl had turned into a bubble and flew away, his boat could carry one more person.

"Thank you." The female player rowed the boat to his side, threw her bag over, and then slowly climbed onto Xia Qi's boat.

Just when Xia Qi was holding her hand and was going to help her sit still, a white wave suddenly exploded in the water, and a merman with a festered face jumped out of the water, opened its mouth fiercely, and bit the Female player's neck!

The merman dragged out a line of blood in mid-air, and then fell into the water with a "plop".

The female player didn't even make a sound, and she disappeared. In an instant, she fell into the underwater position, and a few blood-red bubbles floated up.

Seeing that a person died in front of him, Xia Qi shook his right hand, terrified and quickly put the magic wand in his left hand, while his right hand tightly held the oar in front of him.

Xia Qi's eyes widened, and he thought to himself, the skeletons back then obviously couldn't go into the water, so why were these mermaids able to go into the water?

Xia Qi stared at the water surface.

"Brush-"

A sound of water splashing sounded behind him, Xia Qi suddenly raised his right hand, and swung the oar back with his backhand.

The oar hit something behind him, and there was a loud "snap", and the shark jumped up behind him and was knocked down into the water again.

Xia Qi carefully identified the sound of splashing water around him, and then viciously, "slap", "slap", "slap" beat down several merman corpses that came out to bite him.

While fighting, Xia Qi suddenly discovered that none of the merman jumping out of the water was a merman skeleton, and the more aggressive the merman, the stronger the merman looked, the less dried and rotted their bodies were.

Compared with Xia Qi's battle alone at this time, the situation of the other players was even more tragic.

Because they set off too late, they were accidentally surrounded by a group of merman whose corpses were soaked, and the area they were in had unilaterally turned into a bloody massacre of mermen.

"Snapped!"

After slapping a mermaid flying with a paddle again, Xia Qi fell into confusion.

Continue to fight like this endlessly, when he will run out of energy...

Thinking of this, Xia Qi suddenly became clever and looked into the distance.

Not far away, the captain had turned into an octopus, his bald head was resting on a female deputy, and the two were swimming deep into the mist, as if they didn't intend to come back .

At this time, Xia Qi noticed with sharp eyes that the female deputy was holding a very familiar fish tank in her hand. The fish tank was shining brightly, and it looked like a pearl fish raised by the captain.

"Pearl fish?"

A flash of light flashed in Xia Qi's mind. The last time he handed in the task, he had secretly detained 2 pearl fish.

The two pearl fish are currently in his backpack, filled with water from junk rum bottles.

Without hesitation, Xia Qi reached out and took out a pearl fish from his backpack. Sure enough, when he took out the pearl fish, after a long time, no sharks emerged from the water to attack him.

Pearl fish really works!

I don't know if this pearl fish is the merman's companion fish or a partner, but it can actually confuse the merman's corpse.

Xia Qi put the rum bottle in his arms, then tried his best to follow the direction of the octopus and rowed forward vigorously.

Compared to Xia Qi who took the lead, the players in the rear also showed their skills in order to escape. They were seriously injured, and they fought a bloody path from the crowd of soaked mermaid corpses, hanging far behind Xia Qi and the captain. .

The crowd rowed desperately for nearly a whole day, and the number of sharks chasing and biting them gradually decreased.

Night fell again, and the sea was once again calm.

The octopus in the distance suddenly stopped.

Seeing this, Xia Qi also put down his oars, took out a bag of cooked shells, and began to replenish his energy.

Since the captain turned into an octopus, his swimming speed was too fast, and Xia Qi had to work hard to catch up with his speed. After a whole day, his arms were so sore that he was almost paralyzed.

After eating the shell meat and drinking the water, Xia Qi finally had time to count the things in his hands.

Since the female player was dragged into the water by the merman, the box in the backpack she left behind also belonged to Xia Qi. Now, Xia Qi has a total of 6 boxes in his hand.

These 6 boxes belong to the male player in the first room, the female player in the second room, the hunk, the female player who was just taken away by the merman, the girl, and himself.

Except for the fishtail of the male player in the first room and the caudal fin of the female player in the second room, Xia Qi opened them one by one. The remaining items in the box are:

In the macho box, there is a shark's anal fin;

The box of the female player who was just taken away by the merman contained the merman's nails;

As for his and the girl's boxes, there are merman's eyes and merman's silver-white hair respectively.

He was already familiar with the merman's hair, but after seeing this blue eye, Xia Qi almost threw the box in his hand.

Xia Qi didn't dare to stare at the eyes in the box at all, he held the edge of the box tightly, as if he wanted to break the box into pieces on the spot.

Xia Qi frowned and murmured in a low voice: "Why, why did you give me eyes?"

"What do you want to say to me?"

Although he kept sending out doubts, his eyes couldn't answer his question.

"Clap."

Xia Qi closed the box again and stuffed it into his backpack.

After putting the box into the backpack, Xia Qi realized that the corners of his eyes had been soaked with tears.

It took him nearly 30 minutes to sit alone on the boat before he regained his composure.

Looking at the dark night sky, Xia Qi shook his head and sighed silently.

He packed up his belongings and prepared to go to bed.

Worried that he would sleep too deeply at night, Xia Qi took out a silver table knife and cut a wound on his palm.

At this moment, the octopus showed half of its head from the water, paddling its tentacles leisurely, and swam towards Xia Qi.

Xia Qi clenched his injured palm, and looked coldly at the octopus beside him: "What do you want to do?"

Still want to continue being a demon?

"I won't do anything tonight," the Octopus said to him in the captain's voice.

"Aren't you going to sacrifice?" Xia Qi said coldly.

Xia Qi didn't believe that the octopus wouldn't cause trouble, maybe the other party was planning on him, throwing him to the merman's shadow as a sacrifice as soon as he fell asleep.

"Oh, you cute little villain, you know everything!" Octopus resumed his original voice, and said to him with a smile, "Although the sacrificial ceremony has not been fully completed, we are very lucky, Hai The soul has pointed out the direction for us!"

Xia Qi looked suspiciously at the dark and cunning octopus in front of him. Judging from what he just said, although the sacrificial ceremony was not completed according to all methods, it somehow achieved the ultimate goal of the octopus.

So, they will now go to a place, this place is the destination that the octopus has been planning for a long time.

Thinking of this, Xia Qi couldn't help sneering, the octopus is really cruel, for his own purpose, he even used their lives as a sea reclamation sacrifice...

After the Octopus finished speaking, he said excitedly in the captain's voice, "I'm really the lucky one favored by heaven!"

Octopus was talking to himself alone, Xia Qi didn't bother to talk to him at all, at this moment, the female captain reached out and patted Octopus's head, and said, "Can you keep quiet and let me rest for a while? "

"Hmph! If you think I'm noisy, then go into the water and be quiet!"

The octopus complained, and swam away in a jerk.

Watching the octopus finally leave, Xia Qi put away the silver table knife and didn't plan to scratch his palm again.

It seems that it is no longer needed.

Sure enough, Xia Qi was not hypnotized by the familiar singing all night long, but for some reason, he felt that the man seemed to be getting closer and closer to him.

There was no wind all night, Xia Qi fell asleep for a while, and woke up again after hearing the soft sound of water.

There was no gray mist on the sea in the morning, and the sky turned into a familiar azure blue. In the distance, the octopus with its female assistant on its head was paddling its tentacles and swimming forward continuously.

Xia Qi took a few mouthfuls of food, then grabbed his oars and rowed to follow.

After a while, Xia Qi saw a black island in the distance under the blue sky and white clouds.

The island was shrouded in black mist. Above the island, there were countless merman shadows hovering. These shadows kept screaming. Anger and resentment made people feel heavy.

Moreover, in the black mist right above the island, there were two dark green flames, like a pair of eyes full of hatred, looking down at them coldly.

Seeing this flame full of astonishing resentment, Xia Qi's heart thumped.

After seeing the island, the speed of the octopus accelerated. Xia Qi had to grit his teeth and paddle desperately to keep up with the speed of the octopus.

The shark's island looked very close, but in fact it was very far away. After 30 minutes, Xia Qi finally saw the shore of the island.

However, as it got closer and closer, the island brought him more and more pressure. It was like the mouth of a giant beast, as if it wanted to swallow him in one bite.

Finally reached the coast, Xia Qi stopped the boat.

[Ding dong!Route progress +10%, total progress 100%! 】

Xia Qi let out a long breath.

The merman and the girl had been guiding him, this time, he finally reached his destination.

The moment he stepped on the shore, he saw the figures of sharks circling in the sky, and suddenly they rushed towards him in groups.

This time, it was the mermen's soul that came to stop them, not the merman corpses and skeletons with entities.

Compared with the corpses and skeletons of the merman, the souls of these merman are still not good-looking. They all lack arms and legs, and some of them don't even have tails. They form a mermaid wall in front of Xia Qi, not only preventing In his way, one by one grabbed him fiercely, like a group of evil spirits that just crawled out of hell.

There were too many disgusting mermaid souls around him, making it difficult for Xia Qi to breathe.

Suppressing his nausea, he raised the pearl fish in his hand, and the group of evil spirits backed away for a distance.

However, the evil spirits still blocked his way, preventing him from leaving the place.

Xia Qi raised his head, looked at the octopus that was climbing excitedly on the hillside, and murmured in a low voice: "One is not enough, add another?"

He took out another pearl fish, but it only made the group of evil spirits retreat a little bit.

"I really want a tank of fish..." Xia Qi frowned, it was already at this time, where would he get a tank of fish for the evil spirits to watch?

As long as Xia Qi took a step forward, the group of evil spirits would stand in front of him with dignity. Xia Qi had no choice but to go back to the beach and start catching pearl fish.

Fortunately, there are some pearl fish in the shallow water. However, Xia Qi didn't bring fishing nets and tackle. If he wanted to catch fish, he couldn't use a sharp wooden stick to poke them. He had to catch them with his bare hands.

Xia Qi rolled up his trouser legs and stood in the icy sea water.

Seeing the pearl fish swimming around in the water, like a free bird in the sky, Xia Qi spread his hands helplessly, a little at a loss.

This group of pearl fish is not slippery, and it is not realistic at all with bare hands.

Xia Qi took out the magic wand of true love again, thinking hard about the spell in his mind, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure out how to use the spell to catch fish.

He has collected a bunch of lethal spells, but there are really no spells for catching fish.

Xia Qi stood in the water, looking at his system backpack, lost in thought.

After a while, when Xia Qi saw the forgotten bottle of pink perfume in the corner of his backpack, he suddenly remembered that this thing can have a charm effect on the enemy.

"It seems...you can only try to see if the perfume can have an effect on the fish."

Although Xia Qi was full of resistance to Margaret's perfume, he had to use it under this special situation.

[Prop name: Passionate Rose Perfume (bound). 】

[Effect of use: Spray the perfume on the body, which can produce a charm effect on the enemy. 】

[Other notes: This bottle of perfume with rose top note and sandalwood amber bottom note can make you fatally attractive to TA! 】

Xia Qi frowned helplessly, took out the [Hot Love Rose Perfume] in disgust, and sprayed a little on his right finger.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he put his finger into the sea, the nearby pearl fish immediately rioted.

I saw countless white light spots rushing towards him under the light blue water surface, he was like a lighthouse at night, attracting the eyes of all the pearl fish.

This group of fish gathered around him eagerly, and kept pushing towards the skin of his calf. It was the first time surrounded by so many fish, Xia Qi felt his legs were itchy standing in the water.

Inexplicably, he actually felt like he was having a pedicure.

Xia Qi took a small wine barrel from the boat, scooped it into the water with ease, and scooped up dozens of pearl fish.

This time should be enough.

Xia Qi carried the wine barrel, stepped out of the water again, and walked in the direction of the evil shark.

This time, the merman ghosts did not come forward to harass him, but silently made way for him, looking at him in awe.

Xia Qi walked forward along the path that the octopus had walked. When he climbed to a small hill, a breeze brushed past his ears, and there seemed to be a whimpering sound in the wind, as if he was calling affectionately his name.

"start……"

The author has something to say: the countdown to cracking the dungeon...
