The soul of the mermaid was very close to Xia Qi. Because the mermaid had no temperature and a cold aura emanated from her body, Xia Qi was so cold that his entire body was trembling and even his teeth were chattering.
Even so, he did not forget to find a solution.
In order to avoid being forced down by the other party, Xia Qi straddled the fish's tail, crossed his legs to keep himself in a semi-suspended state, and avoided touching the numbing thing below.
His hands are now tied up and he cannot take out any props. If this continues, he will sooner or later collapse from exhaustion and be killed on the spot by the ghost.
Looking at the increasingly ferocious eyes of the mermaid ghost, Xia Qi gritted his teeth.
No, he must find a way to free his hands!
Xia Qi immediately thought of a way, so he stretched his head forward, and when he was about to get close to the face of the mermaid soul, he pecked the corner of the other's lips hard.
Even the mermaid, who had no soul, had never expected Xia Qi to be so proactive. His dark green eyes suddenly widened with a hint of disbelief.
When the mermaid was distracted, Xia Qi struggled to free his hands from his hands.
After his hands were free again, Xia Qi quickly took out the magic wand of true love, pushed the mermaid's shoulders to the ground, then knelt down, pointed the magic wand at his collarbone, and quickly shouted:
"The pain is so beautiful, even though... Ugh!"
Xia Qi had just opened his mouth and said a sentence, but unexpectedly the mermaid suddenly flipped up and spun him around. After a dizzying spin, Xia Qi fell to the ground again.
The merman directly blocked all the spells he cast.
Feeling the suffocating force coming from above, even though Xia Qi felt dizzy at this moment, he knew that the other party was becoming more and more excited.
All the remaining spells in his mouth turned into sobs and were swallowed.
Then, the mermaid rubbed his face wildly, and her cold breath sprayed on the side of his neck, freezing Xia Qi's chin. After finally taking the opportunity to rub his forehead, Xia Qi opened his mouth with difficulty and continued:
"You are the wind... Ugh!"
Another storm came, and Xia Qi's curse ended again.
Not only that, his legs were also pressed tightly apart by the fish's tail, and he didn't even have the strength to lift them up.
Until now, Xia Qi finally understood that the magic wand of true love has thousands of tricks, but it has a fatal flaw, which is that it must be activated by speaking.
Although he was completely controlled by the other party, Xia Qi's mind became clearer and clearer.
He kept thinking of ways.
Now, the magic wand of true love in his hand cannot be used, and the only props left are other tools, such as the silver table knife and the broken octopus tentacles...
No, using brute force would only anger the other party, he had to think of other ways.
When Xia Qi's eyes fell on the pillar not far from him, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Just as the soul of the merman was touching his lips, Xia Qi suddenly raised his head and responded to him deeply.
Unexpectedly, this trick worked. The mermaid instantly relaxed and gradually loosened her grip on him.
Xia Qi used the force to roll towards the pillar, and after rolling several times, he finally arrived at the pillar.
"Hmm."
When he was only an elbow away from the pillar, the mermaid seemed unsatisfied and wanted to get more, gradually tightening its tail.
Xia Qi tried hard to lift his legs, avoiding the terrible fish tail, while raising his right hand with difficulty and moving towards the pillar behind him tremblingly.
“Wow—”
When Xia Qi placed the ventral fin on his fingertips on the pillar, suddenly, a ray of light broke through the sky above the clouds.
A warm beam of light fell on the pillar, on Xia Qi's head, and on the back of the mermaid's soul.
Xia Qi clearly felt the mermaid's soul tremble.
After a moment, the mermaid let go of his hand and Xia Qi regained his freedom.
He opened his eyes and saw the soul of the merman gradually rising up to the sky. His eyes were staring at him. Xia Qi saw that the color of his dark green eyes gradually faded and returned to its former azure blue color.
However, in just a moment, his entire face and body began to dissipate, and finally turned into a wisp of green smoke and completely disappeared in the warm sunshine.
At the moment when the sunlight cast a few floating streaks, Xia Qi seemed to hear him say:
"Go..."
Xia Qi lay on the ground for nearly 15 seconds before he climbed up exhausted.
He felt sore all over, especially his shoulders and waist, as if they were broken.
If he hadn't activated the pillar in time and dispelled the mermaid's soul, he would probably have lost half his life today.
"Wang Dazhuang, are you still alive?"
Xia Qi forced himself to hold up his body and slowly crawled towards the direction where the strong man fell.
When Xia Qi came to Mengnan, he found that Mengnan was still alive.
Xia Qi couldn't help but sigh that the young master was really skilled and brave. He even dared to kill the players. The young master didn't care what terrible things would happen after the players died. After all, sometimes people were scarier than ghosts.
However, the only thing the young master forgot was that one cannot kill people randomly on the altar.
"Wang Dazhuang?" Seeing that the strong man could not wake up, Xia Qi took out some rum and poured it into his mouth.
Then, Xia Qi slapped the strong man hard a few times, and finally woke him up.
"Xia, Xia Qi." The strong man lay on the ground and slowly opened his confused eyes, "Am I alive again?"
His lips turned white due to blood loss and he was in a very depressed state. He looked like a wilted cabbage that had been left in a cellar for too long.
"I don't have any medicine for my injuries. If you have any life-saving medicine, please give it to me first." Xia Qi had only participated in two dungeons, and he had very little supplies, basically zero.
The tough guy nodded slowly, then took out a bottle of medicine from the system backpack: "Make... fluid again."
Hearing about the famous healing potion again, Xia Qi asked in surprise: "Do you really want to drink it?"
In the previous copy, Xia Qi heard from the old man that the red side had regeneration fluid, and also learned about the use of the regeneration fluid.
However, judging from the tough guy's performance, although the reconstructive fluid sounds like it has very serious side effects, for the survivors, they would rather have side effects than lose their lives.
Under the strong man's insistence, Xia Qi had to open the bottle of regeneration fluid and pour a little bit into his mouth.
But after a moment, the tough guy jumped up from where he was.
Not only did he pull out the young master's knife with his own hands, he also flexed his muscles vigorously on the spot. When he saw that Xia Qi looked like he was about to faint, he actually offered to carry him on his back.
Xia Qi looked up at the ghost of the mermaid in the sky, shook his head guiltily, and rejected the tough guy's kindness.
Forget it, he doesn't want to hurt anyone.
"You've helped me too much. Let me help you from now on!" Worried that Xia Qi didn't trust his abilities, the macho man waved his strong arms vigorously.
Looking at the performance of the tough guy after drinking the Regeneration Liquid, Xia Qi belatedly suspected that Cha Gong should have also drunk the Regeneration Liquid.
At that time, he remembered that the location of Cha Gong's injury was indescribable. If he drank the regeneration fluid, then...
Xia Qi couldn't help but feel a chill on his back and didn't dare to think about it any further.
We are all men, so let’s just let each other go.
"Xia Qi, the young master has two boxes on him." The strong man searched the young master's backpack and took out two boxes.
After the tough guy helped Xia Qi open the box, he presented the contents of the two boxes in front of him.
"They are limb bones and fingers." Xia Qi said after looking at the contents of the box.
The appendage bones belong to the male player with the cooking tool, while the fingers belong to the young master.
Xia Qi thought silently for a moment, then frowned again: "This doesn't look like the key to activate the fifth pillar. Could it be that the fifth pillar is in Wang Ke's hands?"
Xia Qi counted the number of players remaining in the game. There should only be him, Mengnan, Wang Ke and the male player from the second room, a total of four people.
"Look at my memory! I have another box here." The macho man took out another box from his backpack like Doraemon.
The first time Xia Qi saw the box, he knew that the male player must have died on the way.
So, now in the main game, there are only three people left: him, Mengnan and Wang Ke.
Xia Qi opened the box silently and found a dorsal fin in the box.
Xia Qi raised his dorsal fin, looked at it in the sunlight, and said, "This should be the key to activate the fifth pillar."
The tough guy nodded without commenting.
Xia Qi considered the things in his hand again and said, "We have to find Wang Ke. He should have the key to the seventh pillar. As for the key to the 11th pillar, it should still be in the hands of the captain."
The tough guy scratched his head. He always listened to the young master when it came to things that required thinking. Now that the young master was gone, he simply listened to Xia Qi.
"Okay, we'll go find Wang Ke later." The tough guy responded, and then he looked at the young master's body again, and suddenly remembered an important thing, "Then... what should we do with the young master's magic wand?"
After the player died, he could no longer take out the items in his system backpack. However, the young master took out the magic wand before he died, and it is now thrown on the ground.
Xia Qi got up from the ground, limped to the young master's side, and picked up the young master's magic wand of betrayal.
Props: Magic Wand of Betrayal (formerly bound to: Lin Qing).
Effect of use: Consume betrayal energy and recite your own betrayal spell. The higher the betrayal value, the stronger the magic effect.
Level: lv10.
Other notes: Have a class reunion, break up any couple! Go and spread your love, help those blinded sisters open their eyes, and save them from the hands of scumbags!
Xia Qi: “…”
Judging from the lv10 level, this magic wand is really put to good use in the hands of the young master and has created many brilliant moments.
Do you want to bind the Wand of Betrayal? Yes/No
"no."
Hearing the familiar question from the system, Xia Qi refused without hesitation.
Not to mention the pitfalls of the magic wand system, just based on the mechanism and effect of the betrayal magic wand, even if he was killed by the boss, he would never bind himself to such a harmful thing.
Xia Qi said to the tough guy, "Let me keep this magic wand for now."
"No problem, I'm not interested in it." The tough guy was badly hurt by Lin Qing. If it were possible to destroy the prop, he would have wanted to grind the magic wand to ashes.
Xia Qi nodded and put the magic wand into his system backpack.
The reason why he didn't throw away the magic wand of betrayal was that he was worried that the magic wand would be picked up by others and used to harm people again, so it would be safer to keep it in his hands.
After all, he has the magic wand of true love, so it is impossible for him to steal other people's girls or sing the song of a mistress to use the magic wand of betrayal.
The two of them simply cleaned up the place and then walked towards the fifth pillar.
As they walked, the tough guy raised his head and suddenly said, "Xia Qi, have you noticed that the number of merman ghosts in the sky has decreased, but their appearance has become clearer."
Hearing this, Xia Qi raised his head and looked towards the sky.
He found that what the tough guy said was right. The number of mermaid shadows in the sky had decreased, but their quality had increased a lot.
At this time, a few drops of water-like substance dripped from the sky and landed on Xia Qi's face.
He raised his hand to wipe his face, only to find that his hand was covered in blood.
He frowned. Could it be what he imagined
