wrong.
Of course it's wrong.
There was something wrong with these villagers, something wrong with the overly strong smell of fish, and something even more wrong with them being discovered while following them and these villagers just very kindly inviting them in to "share a meal"—
Although these logical concepts were clearly processed in their minds, the intuition cultivated through countless copies over the years seemed to be constantly shouting that there was danger and asking them to flee immediately.
But it only took them a few words to make them lose all resistance and have no desire to escape.
The tug of war in the heart completely tipped the scales towards one side in a very short period of time.
think…
Eat fish.
The invitation made by Lao Li was simply one they could not refuse.
The schools of fish gathered in the fishing nets sparkled in the moonlight, just like a mountain of gold, which was an irresistible temptation to the money-grubbers.
Like children who heard the sound of the magic flute, they walked forward step by step and walked out of the grass that provided them with the last bit of cover.
The three players appeared in front of the villagers without any cover.
The villagers seemed a little confused about the number of people that showed up.
They looked at the dense grass with a little suspicion. Lao Li suddenly asked, "Do you have any other companions?"
Slight silence.
Xiao Gao gritted her teeth, and a fishy smell came out of her mouth, which made her a little more sober. She answered with her last bit of rationality, not involving Yuan Yuxue, "… No."

His eyes were staring directly at the fish that had been caught.
Following the guidance of the villagers, they sat together on the shore. The strange villagers crowded around them. In front of them were transparent fish that flicked their tails from time to time.
The light pink "internal organs" filled with meat that players previously could not understand and even felt a little disgusted with, now became an appetizing embellishment.
They simply sat in a circle around the school of fish, without needing to put anything on the ground, and just sat directly on the slightly moist soil.
The man in suits, who was always the most sophisticated, also sat down without saying a word.
His neat black suit was pressed to the ground, stained with sticky mud, but he seemed unaware of it. His eyes were just fixed on the piles of fish, as if he was forcing himself to endure some desire.
This short-lived patience did not last long, because in the next moment, when everyone sat down, Lao Li kowtowed to the river again very devoutly, then stood up and announced:
