Chapter 22: Aquaman 3

Views:

Xia Qi quickly chopped off the deputy captain's dirty hands.

In the escape game, although NPCs were dominant, it was the first time Xia Qi had seen such a rogue. In comparison, the old earl could wear a red armband.

Xia Qi was ready to take out his silver dinner knife and let the vice captain experience the pain of spending money like crazy: "Don't ask for trouble..."

Before he could finish his words, suddenly, a huge iron anchor fell from the sky. With a loud "duang~" sound, the anchor hit the second captain's forehead accurately.

In just a blink of an eye, Xia Qi watched helplessly as the deputy captain's head was smashed into pieces by the anchor in front of him. The deputy captain's brain and blood splattered high, and even Xia Qi, who was retreating, was covered in blood.

After the anchor landed, the remaining body of the deputy captain swayed in place, and then fell backwards with a "bang". When his entire body fell on the deck, his smashed head scattered all over the ground, mixed with scarlet blood, dyeing half of the deck red.

"Ahhh!!" The female player closest to them was so scared that she grabbed her teammate's neck and let out a shrill scream.

The entire deck was in chaos in an instant, and no one noticed that something was wrong with the girl standing in the corner.

His long hair fluttered in the air without wind. His originally handsome and indifferent face was particularly gloomy. His collarbone was covered with a layer of blue scales. His red eyes looked at the body of the deputy captain viciously. A row of sharp teeth emerged from his bright red lips. He looked like a ferocious ghost crawling out of hell.

However, his horrific appearance immediately returned to its original state the moment Xia Qi climbed onto the boat.

As soon as Xia Qi came up, he saw the girl standing beside him with an innocent look on her face, looking at him quietly with a pair of big blue eyes.

Xia Qi looked down at his dirty clothes stained with blood and said to him, "Don't come over."

Ding Dong! Side quest failed!

Punishment content: All survivors will receive the hostility of the captain and the female deputy, duration: 3 days.

As the two were talking, a group of players gathered around them, asking in panic: "What?! The vice-captain is dead?!"

Unexpectedly, someone died just after boarding the ship. Although the deceased was an NPC and not a player, everyone was still frightened because the deputy captain's death was so disgusting.

The second captain's eyeballs were smashed and several teeth were splashed not far away. Blood filled the entire deck and there was a fishy smell of blood everywhere. Several people vomited after seeing it.

The female mate, the captain and other sailors arrived at the same time as the player. Unlike the player, after seeing the death of the mate, they were not too surprised, but showed worried expressions.

The captain frowned and asked in an unhappy tone: "How could the anchor fall and hit Insai's head? Who is so brave to hang the anchor there? This is clearly murder!"

“… But it really looks like an accident.” A sailor muttered quietly.

"How could it be an accident? Our ship hasn't even set out yet, how could this happen?" The captain was so angry that his face turned red, and he roared loudly on the deck, "A man died, are we still going out to sea?!"

Hearing this, Xia Qi frowned slightly.

Judging from the captain's words and actions, he didn't seem to care whether the deputy captain died or not. He cared more about whether he could go to sea.

Only one crew member died, and the hull was not broken, so why can't we go out to sea

The female deputy rolled her eyes, leaned close to the captain's ear, and whispered, "Captain, Insai died because of the anchor, it has nothing to do with those things..."

After listening to the female mate's words of comfort, the captain thought for a while and his expression eased a little.

The female deputy continued, "Let's set off now while the weather is good."

"Hmph!" After a fit of rage, the captain didn't even look at the deputy captain's body, and said fiercely to the group of players, "What are you looking at?! Clean up and let's get going!"

After saying this, the captain looked disgusted and ran away.

The female deputy was asked to stay and deal with the deputy captain's funeral. She saw Xia Qi standing there covered in blood and felt that it was an eyesore, so she said, "Go to the cabin first to change clothes and clean yourself up."

There were rooms prepared for sailors in the cabin. Xia Qi went into a room at random and found a clean shirt to change into.

When we gathered back on the deck, the female deputy was assigning tasks to everyone.

The men were assigned to lift and unload the ship's crane, open and close the cabin, and pull the sails, while the other three female players were asked to clean the cabin.

Of course, there was no other place on the deck that needed cleaning at this time. What needed to be cleaned most was actually the body of the deputy captain.

"vomit-"

As soon as she stood next to the deputy captain's body, a female player vomited on the spot. She covered her throat and ran to the side of the boat, vomiting into the sea.

Another female player stood far away, trembling. Although they had completed the game several times and witnessed the deaths of others, they had never personally collected the bodies of others.

Moreover, the deputy captain's body was dead in a disgusting way, which brought great psychological pressure to people.

Seeing that the two female players were useless, the female assistant stuffed a rag into the girl's hand and instructed her, "Go clean the deck."

The girl took the rag and looked at the female deputy dangerously.

On the deck not far away, Xia Qi was collecting gondolas with a male player. The male player whispered to Xia Qi, "She is your teammate, right? How can you be so unlucky to have a rookie and a junior player like her as your teammate?"

Judging from the girl's appearance, he looked like a beginner player, but somehow he was matched to an advanced field.

Xia Qi didn't answer and pursed his lips.

If we talk about the real beginner player, he is the one.

"Are you mute?" The female deputy frowned when she saw that the girl couldn't do the work.

The girl nodded.

"Oh." The female deputy's face looked a little unhappy. She finally understood why the girl didn't communicate with others. It turned out that she was a mute.

The female deputy patiently explained the task again, then pointed to the body on the ground and said, "Clean up his body, will you?"

The girl showed a look of realization, as if she understood.

The female deputy patted his shoulder, looked at the other two female players, laughed oddly, and said meaningfully: "To be a sailor you have to be brave. The braver you are, the longer you can live."

After the female deputy left, the two female players looked at each other, neither of them willing to move first. Just as they were staring at each other, the girl in the white dress, who was originally the farthest away from the corpse, suddenly took a big step and walked towards the direction of the deputy captain's body.

The female player held the rag and said carefully, "Aren't you afraid of corpses?"

The girl shook her head. At this time, she had come to the side of the deputy captain, and one of her feet was stepping on one of the broken skulls of the deputy captain.

"You, you, you..." Just when the two female players thought he was mentally ill, the girl suddenly reached out her hand, with a look of disgust on her face, and lifted the deputy captain's body from the deck with one hand!

The two female players suddenly forgot to breathe and stared at the girl blankly.

Where the hell did this tough guy come from? How dare he grab a corpse without even a head left

What's even more horrifying is that she lifted the body of an adult man with just one hand!

After the girl picked up the body, she walked towards the boat very easily. She looked so calm and indifferent, as if she was going downstairs to throw away the garbage.

After arriving at the side of the boat, the girl lifted the body up very skillfully and threw it into the sea. After throwing it, he did not forget to wipe his hands with the clean rag given by the female assistant.

“Plop!”

A high splash of water appeared on the sea surface, and the body of the second-captain was swallowed by the ocean in an instant without even a bubble.

At this time, several fish shadows that looked a bit like people floated by the bottom of the water, and the girl curled her lips slightly.

The fish shadows circled around the corpse for several times, then pulled the corpse gradually sinking. After a while, a few pieces of meat mixed with blood floated out above the water.

After the girl turned around, he returned to his original appearance as a little white flower.

"You are a high-level player, right?" the female player said in surprise.

After watching the girl's skillful and smooth action of throwing the corpse, the two female players couldn't help but be stunned.

This excellent character, this nonchalant attitude, and this cool way of throwing away the corpse, he must be a high-level player without a doubt!

Not far away, the male player who had originally complained about the girl being a rookie was choked to death by his saliva. He looked at Xia Qi with complicated eyes and said, "You've found a treasure. She must be a high-level player."

Xia Qi: “…”

God must have picked up a treasure, but it’s more like he picked up a ghost.

After the deputy captain's body was dealt with, only a pool of blood was left on the deck. The two female players had seen the "power" of the girl and dared not let him continue to share the work. They took the initiative to take care of all the remaining tasks and let him go and rest.

The girl felt bored, so she walked towards Xia Qi.

She carefully moved to a position not far from him and stared at him straight, her eyes seemed to be glued to him.

At this time, Xia Qi was moving the gondola with others. The sleeves of his shirt were rolled up to his elbows, revealing a section of his white arms. The sunlight fell on his arms, outlining his beautiful muscle lines.

Someone noticed the girl's affectionate gaze, whistled at Xia Qi, and teased: "It's easy for a man to chase a woman, but it's hard for a woman to chase a man. Brother, look how persistent she is, just give in!"

"Haha! Yes, yes." Everyone laughed. They seriously doubted that Xia Qi would be able to handle such a tall and powerful "girl".

The players in this game were all intermediate players with a certain amount of experience. Although everyone was wary of others, due to the multi-team nature, they did not show their hostility as obviously as in the previous game.

No one wants to step forward first, what if they get killed by others

However, the more relaxed the environment is, the more you cannot relax. Xia Qi saw that although everyone was smiling, they were actually secretly sizing each other up, probably judging each other's strength.

Facing the girl's creepy gaze, Xia Qi felt very uncomfortable and said to the girl, "Go to the cabin and have a rest."

Hearing him asking her to go into the cabin to rest, the girl lowered her head and hid the smile on her lips.

After Xia Qi and the male players transported the gondola, they were ordered to pull the sail.

The young master and the strong man were also assigned to pull the sail. A gust of cold wind blew, and the young master suddenly burst into a violent cough.

"Ahem..."

Hearing the familiar cough, Xia Qi turned his head in confusion.

If he remembered correctly, the young master had caught a cold since the last dungeon. When the red and blue teams fought at the end, it was Cha Gong and the red girl who worked the hardest, and the young master hardly moved.

Xia Qi always remembered what the old man said. The young master had 10 life-saving items on him, and even an S-level item, which made Xia Qi always wary of him.

"Lin Qing, are you okay?" His teammate, the tough guy, immediately dropped the rope in his hand and grabbed the young master's hand to check on him.

Xia Qi frowned secretly. The young master clearly had a cold. What could he tell by just grabbing his hands

Xia Qi seriously suspected that the tough guy was taking advantage of the young master, and immediately showed a look of contempt.

However, he changed his mind and found it quite funny. The young master had cheated on Cha Gong, and now the strong man had cheated on the young master as well. Did the strong man take advantage of the young master or of Cha Gong

Before he could continue to figure out what was going on with the tough guy, the tough guy's ex-boyfriend Tony turned around and looked in their direction. Tony's angry eyes looked as if he wanted to eat someone.

"Bitch! Are you so short of men? Will you die without a man?" Tony pointed at the young master's nose and cursed wildly, then pounced on him with his teeth and claws.

Facing Tony's attack, the young master not only did not retreat, but instead faced forward. He smiled with a pale face, as if a pure white lotus bloomed in the wind. In contrast to him, all the little white flowers in the world were not fragrant.

When Tony came to him, the young master once again said something that left Xia Qi dumbfounded.

"You can't protect a man yourself, and he doesn't want to be your teammate. Why are you blaming me?" The young master looked at him with a smile, his tone very asking for a beating.

"I, I'm going to fight you!" Tony was so angry that his face turned red, and he raised his hand to scratch Young Master Hua's face.

At this time, the tough guy stepped forward, stood in front of the young master, grabbed Tony's hand, and pulled him to the side: "Stop it!"

"It hurts! You hurt me!" Tony cried out in pain, then suddenly jumped up and slapped the macho man.

“Bang!”

"You dare to hit me!" After being slapped, the macho man fought with Tony unwillingly. Perhaps it was to avoid disturbing others' work, but the two of them fought further and further away.

The young master looked at the two's backs and raised his eyebrows.

He seemed to be in a good mood and didn't seem to be disturbed by Teacher Tony at all.

Xia Qi stood behind him and asked, "Why didn't you go to the Hell Reincarnation Dungeon?"

"Don't you know about the pass?" The young master smiled and spoke to him in a friendly manner. "Unfortunately, I only had one pass on me at the time."

Hearing this, Xia Qi couldn't help but look sideways.

This young master really has a great background. He has both a clearance ticket and an S-level lottery ticket. Who is he

However, from what the young master said, Cha Gong still entered the copy of the reincarnation hell.

"Can Cha Gong come out alive?" Xia Qi asked again. He was not worried about Cha Gong's life safety, but worried that his USB drive and bullets were gone.

"Yes." The young master answered briefly, and then he smiled at Xia Qi, "If he can't come out, wouldn't I have wasted my time on him in vain?"

Xia Qi didn't expect that the young master would have such an attitude towards Cha Gong. It seems that he really underestimated the young master.

The young master leaned his back against the side of the boat, squinting his eyes comfortably, seeming to enjoy the warmth brought by the sun.

At this time, he whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Xia Qi, you are really capable. You were judged as an intermediate player and entered the advanced dungeon."

Xia Qi turned his head to look at him.

The young master added: "You are very capable and have an S-level item. Now that I am your enemy, I feel very stressed."

Last time in the Rose Earl copy, Xia Qi used the magic wand. Since then, the young master has been very cautious towards him and even avoided fighting.

Hearing this, Xia Qi was slightly stunned.

S-level items are so precious? Even the young master doesn't dare to offend him anymore

The young master smiled again: "If we weren't the same, I would really like you."

Unfortunately, now the young master only wants to kill Xia Qi.

Looking at Xia Qi's profile, the young master slowly narrowed his eyes.

Thanks to the efforts of everyone, the square-rigged ketch named "Pearl" officially set sail, braved the wind and waves, and headed south.

Ding Dong! Route progress: 0%, please work hard to reach the target point!

Listening to the report on the route progress, Xia Qi frowned slightly.

What is route progress? It sounds like they are heading to a destination.

So, where is their destination

Xia Qi rested his chin on one hand, leaning against the side of the boat, thinking. The sea breeze blew across his face, lifting the long hair on his temples, revealing his overly delicate profile and beautiful earlobes.

Just then, he suddenly felt an itch on his neck.

But after a while, he found that it was not his own hair that made him itchy, but the girl's hair.

The girl came to his side without anyone noticing, and his long black hair was blown by the sea breeze, ruffling him from time to time.

"What are you doing here?" Xia Qi moved a step to the right and looked at him warily.

The girl pointed behind her, indicating that she was not looking for trouble, but had something important to discuss with him.

Xia Qi was just about to look back when suddenly, the sky above their heads gradually darkened. For no reason, Xia Qi felt that the wind around him was no longer warm. The cold wind whistled in his ears, as if someone was singing sadly in his ears.

At this moment, with a "bang", the sailboat seemed to hit something.

The sailboat shook violently twice, and Xia Qi quickly held the edge of the boat to steady himself. After the boat slowly stopped, Xia Qi stuck his head out and looked intently at the sea under the boat.

A strange black reef appeared on the sea to the right of the ship. The color of this black reef was very dark, as thick as ink. On the shallows near the reef, Xia Qi even saw some broken animal bones.

"Found it! Found it!" a sailor screamed in surprise.

After the captain confirmed the reef, he ordered his men to stop the ship. After the ship was completely stable, the female mate ordered people to bring in boxes and called all the sailors to gather on the deck.

"We have arrived near a pearl reef. Now you need to change your clothes and go into the sea to collect pearl reefs and pearl fish." The female deputy said to the group of new players.

"What are pearl reefs and pearl fish?" someone asked.

"Pearl reef is a type of coral reef. It is snow-white all over and more precious than ordinary coral reefs. Near the pearl reef, there are often pearl fish that are also snow-white all over. Both of these things can be sold for a good price." The female deputy explained.

Pearl reefs and pearl fish are both rare and sought-after commodities in the market. I didn't expect to encounter such a good thing as soon as I went out to sea.

Xia Qi looked at the increasingly gloomy sky and the gradually surging waves nearby, and had a bad feeling in his heart.

Could this instance be like the previous instance, with demons and monsters appearing at night? If they were allowed to go into the water now, if they ran into something dangerous in the water, they would have no way to escape.

Like Xia Qi, the other players also looked unhappy. Some even whispered, "What if there are sharks underwater..."

In fact, everyone knew that monsters might appear underwater at night. Since the female assistant was an NPC, he could only use a "shark" as a substitute.

The female deputy took out the rapier from her waist with her right hand, turned it around in her hand seemingly casually, and said coldly: "Why do you want to be a pirate if you are afraid of death?"

This sentence successfully shut up the player who asked the question.

A female player weakly raised her hand and whispered, "What if I can't swim?"

The young master frowned. In fact, he didn't like going into the water either.

The female deputy narrowed her eyes and said impatiently: "Sailors who can't swim will end up in the belly of sharks."

Hearing this, the female player turned pale with fright and quickly said that she could learn even if she didn't know how.

At this moment, everyone heard a familiar system reminder.

Congratulations on accepting the mission: Fall in love with a fish

Mission Description: Without you I am like a fish out of water. Come on my prince, let's go fishing in the sea!

Mission countdown: 02:00:00.

Xia Qi: “…”

Hearing this inexplicable mission introduction, Xia Qi had a bad feeling...

At this time, the female deputy ordered people to open the box that was carried out. After the box was opened, everyone was almost blinded by the shiny things placed in the box.

"What are these glowing pants?" A player asked in surprise, looking at the dozen or so blue "pants" with artificial scales in the box.

"No, didn't you notice? It looks more like a skirt... Oh, now I remember, I've seen it at someone else's wedding. It's called a fishtail skirt!" said the female player.

"Yes, this is the fishtail skirt." The female deputy took out a fishtail skirt and said, "You can only get close to the Pearl Reef if you wear the fishtail skirt."

The female player whispered: "The setting of this game is too magical..."

Wearing a skirt is the only way to get close to the Pearl Reef to catch fish. It's unbelievable no matter how you think about it. Could it be that these NPCs deliberately let them die and then catch them all in one fell swoop

All the players were lost in thought. It was not uncommon for several people to die at the beginning of the game. The NPCs in the escape game were all cunning and treacherous. Even though these NPCs were humanoid, they might be scarier than ghosts and could chop all the players into pieces and eat them alive.

The veins on Xia Qi's forehead were throbbing, and the moment he touched the slippery fishtail skirt, the familiar feeling of resistance rose in his heart again.

History always repeats itself in a surprising way. Unexpectedly, after escaping the fate of being forced to wear women's clothes, he encountered the task of pretending to be a mermaid!

“Can you swim in this? I think you’ll sink into the water and become fertilizer in a minute.” The male player shook the fishtail skirt that was too narrow for his legs and showed a look of disgust.

"Oh yeah, you have to be naked to wear this... Damn." Another person added. The one who said this was the man with the gold chain. He had a lot of flesh on his body, and it was hard to imagine what he would look like after putting it on.

Hearing this, Xia Qi felt the hairs on his back stand up.

No wonder he always felt something was wrong. It turned out that after putting on the fishtail skirt, he had to take off all his clothes!

It turned out that the pit was waiting for him here.

"How are we going to breathe after we go into the water?" Since it seemed there was no way to avoid going into the water, someone asked anxiously.

"Each of you can take a pill. This pill can help you breathe underwater for two hours. Remember the time. If you don't come up in time, no one will go into the sea to rescue you." The female assistant threw out several medicine boxes and let the players divide them themselves.

The girl went to help Xia Qi get the medicine very diligently.

Xia Qi stared at the girl's movements and whispered to the male player next to him: "I didn't hear clearly just now, what is the content of the task?"

"Catch 10 pearl fish and dig out 1 kilogram of pearl reef... What's wrong?" The male player looked at him with disdain.

Given Xia Qi's ability to participate in high-level dungeons, he shouldn't even be able to hear the name of the mission. How did he get to the high-level dungeon? Maybe he was cheating.

"Thank you." Xia Qi's mouth twitched and he said thank you through gritted teeth.

He just knows it!

Just after the prompt sounded, Xia Qi found that everyone's expression was very normal, and some people even raised ten fingers to gesture. This suddenly made him have a bold guess: would his task name and content be different from others

Unexpectedly, he is really different from others!

wrong!

At this moment, Xia Qi suddenly realized that in the previous copy, could it be that the name and content of his task were different from those of others

He was actually fooled by the game system!

"System, come out! Explain it to me clearly!" Xia Qi was immediately furious. Why was his game like this

Dear, your mission is the same as others.

"Explain to me clearly, which word is the same?!" Xia Qi became furious again. There was not a single word in common between his task and others' tasks!

Dear, Guilty Game is an international game. Every translated version is different, so there will be slight differences in the sentences.

Xia Qi sneered.

Are you putting all the blame on the translation

He continued to ask the system, but after a few more questions, the system made a "ding dong" sound and popped up an automatic reply that looked exactly like the one when the customer service of Taobao was away from work for lunch: "Dear, if you have any questions, please leave a message. The system will reply you when it is working again. Please be patient."

Xia Qi: “…”

Do artificial intelligence customer service staff still need to go to get off work and come home

Xia Qi was so angry that he laughed.

Finding that the system completely ignored him, Xia Qi had no choice but to suppress his anger and walked towards the girl with a cold face.

The girl handed him a seaweed pill.

Xia Qi took the pill casually, feeling that there was something wrong with the girl's smile, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, because he had been staring at the girl's movements and the girl had no chance to touch his seaweed pill.

"Ah." The girl pointed at her fishtail skirt and looked at him quietly with her emerald blue eyes, motioning him to change quickly and get into the water.

Xia Qi: “…”

Looking at the fishtail skirt in his arms, Xia Qi felt tired.

real.

There were already quite a few men nearby who had taken off their coats and were wearing fishtail skirts with their bare chests. Looking at this familiar, eye-catching scene, Xia Qi's temples began to ache again.

At this time, two female players were walking towards the cabin together, holding fishtail skirts. When they saw the girl still standing at the door, they greeted him.

"Girl, aren't you going in to change your clothes?" asked the female player.

The girl tilted her head, not understanding what they were talking about.

Seeing that the girl didn't move, the female player walked towards him and pulled him aside mysteriously.

When they reached the corner, the female player stuffed a cover into his hand and whispered, "This is the waterproof cover that the female deputy gave us."

Girl:

The girl held up the bra given by the female player and wanted to see it clearly against the sunlight, but unexpectedly, the female player pushed the bra down in her hand.

"Hey, put it down!" The female player gasped in shock, "This thing is a secret, you can't let others see it!"

Girl: …

Seeing that he still didn't understand, the female player couldn't help but mutter, "Don't you foreigners grow up very quickly? Didn't your mother teach you that this is an important weapon that can make people full of charm, and it can't be seen by others casually."

The girl was stunned.

"Yes, yes, you understand, let's go in first." The female player gave him a "you know" look and then went into the house.

After the female player left, the girl weighed the bra in her hand and stood there thinking.

Xia Qi saw the girl standing at the door in a daze and walked towards her.

"What is this?" Xia Qi asked in confusion, looking at what she was holding.

The girl shook her head and stuffed the mask into his hand, like a good teammate who was seriously giving him equipment.

Xia Qi mentioned this string of things made of two shells and a thin string, and asked in confusion: "Is this for making soup?"

The two looked at each other in silence, not knowing what this was. At this time, a female player had already changed her clothes and came out of the cabin.

Xia Qi happened to meet the female player who came out.

Seeing Xia Qi holding a bra in his hand, the female player showed a look of horror.

Xia Qi, who was holding the mask in his hand, said: "…"

Xia Qi seemed to be electrocuted and instantly threw the thing in his hand into the sea.

With a splash, there was the sound of Zhao Zhao falling into the water.

Girl: “…”

Xia Qi: This game is poisonous.

He took two deep breaths and tried his best to stay calm. After his mentality stabilized a little, he turned around and got off the boat.

At this time, many people had already hurriedly climbed onto the black reef and jumped into the sea.

After all, two hours is not too much, but not too little either. We are all intermediate players and are afraid of wasting time and affecting the progress of the task.

The young master was wearing clothes and standing by the reef coughing hard. Seeing this, his teammate, the tough guy, took the opportunity to come over and offer his courtesy: "Lin Qing, don't worry, I'll help you with your task."

The young master said "hmm", smiled and praised: "You really make me feel safe."

Receiving the praise from the young master, the macho man grinned and was as happy as a 200-pound puffer fish.

Xia Qi ignored the love between the young master and the macho man, received the fishing bag and shovel distributed by the female assistant, and came to the black reef.

By this time, his mood had almost calmed down.

Xia Qi showed a rare bit of sympathy, turned around to look at the girl, and asked coldly: "What are you going to do?"

The girl did not answer, but used her actions to show him that she was fine.

He lifted up his skirt carelessly, casually stuffed his legs into the fishtail skirt, and then pulled the skirt up to his body, putting it directly on the outer layer of his white dress.

Xia Qi: “…”

If the girl puts the fishtail skirt over her white cotton skirt, will the clothes not absorb water and sink to the bottom

Xia Qi sighed. If the girl really sank, he would pull her up and help him complete the task.

After figuring out the plan, Xia Qi began to unbutton his shirt one by one. After unbuttoning two buttons, he felt a burning sensation on his back, as if someone was staring at him.

Xia Qi suddenly turned his head and saw the girl, who was startled and almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

After she stood firmly, the girl quickly turned her head away again, with a suspicious red mark appearing at the base of her ears, almost writing "I really didn't peek" on her face.

Xia Qi frowned. So many people were shirtless. As a man, he couldn't be different from others. Anyway, there was no one on the Black Reef except the girl, so he thought it through.

He quickly took off his shirt and began to unbutton his trousers and put on his mermaid skirt.

However, Xia Qi did not notice that the girl standing behind him was trembling all over.

The girl's eyes gradually turned red again. She stared at the tall and beautiful man standing on the reef in front of her, as if she had forgotten how to breathe.

It has to be said that Xia Qi, who usually goes to the gym to exercise, has an excellent figure. The saying "he looks thin when dressed and has muscles when undressed" was born for him.

He has well-proportioned muscles and tight lines, without a trace of fat on his body.

Under the gloomy sky, one could still see his smooth back. On both sides of his back, a pair of butterfly bones were slightly raised, spreading gracefully like butterfly wings. At this moment, a wave splashed high, and white foam exploded near him. He was wearing a fishtail on the lower body and standing on the reef with his back to the reef, like an extremely beautiful painting.

The girl unconsciously groaned in pain: "...Ah."

Darkness gradually fell, his figure grew taller, and countless blue bubbles slowly floated out around his body.

“Hula—”

At this time, the waves rolled and surged due to the power he radiated, and the sky became dark and cloudy because of him.

As the power of restraint was completely released, a layer of fine translucent scales appeared under his collarbone.

Under the scales, his skin had turned red, and with his flushed face and eyes that were burning with flames, he looked like a grilled fish sprinkled with cumin that was about to be burnt.

Without noticing the changes in the girl behind him, Xia Qi was seriously trying out her fishtail skirt and trying to walk forward with her legs together.

Unlike what I imagined, this fishtail skirt is not heavy, it is even quite light, and feels very much like fish skin. I don’t know what material it is made of.

"I'm ready to go down." Xia Qi turned around and prepared to say a few words to the girl first.

At this moment, the dark clouds in the sky were like a pair of big hands, blocking the last ray of light in the sky.

The whole world was once again shrouded in darkness.

Xia Qi squinted his eyes and could only vaguely see the outline of the girl in the fishtail skirt.

At this time, the sea was howling with strong winds, and strong gusts of wind were blowing towards him.

Xia Qi could hardly keep his balance. He spoke with difficulty and said loudly to him, "The waves on the sea are too big now. Remember to swim behind me and don't get lost."

He didn’t know if it was Xia Qi’s illusion, but he felt that the girl’s outline seemed to have become a little taller.

However, he no longer had time to care about so many things. He had to collect the pearl reefs and pearl fish required by the mission before the strong wind and waves blew him away.

"Okay, my Kai."

The girl spoke in his direction, but her voice, which sounded like the sound of nature, had just floated away for a short distance when it was blown away by a strong gust of wind. In the end, all that remained in Xia Qi's ears was the whimpering of the north wind.
