On the vast water surface, the pale golden water surface surged as if boiling.
In unison, everyone retreated towards the entrance of the cave from which they came. Mo Lianren took the short sword from Shu Xingruo's hand and stood at the broken position, while the others also took their positions in order and slowly moved back.
Then, dozens of "people" appeared on the lake.
Their heads are the same as those of fish, but their faces still have the shape of the facial features. Their bodies are that of strong human men and women, but they are covered with silver scales. Their hands hold spears that seem to be made from the backbone of fish.
"It's human."
A fish-man with a female body spoke, and its voice was extremely beautiful. Even though the tone was still cold, it still sounded like the whisper of an angel in your dream.
"It's the blood of hesitation."
The fish-man at the front seemed to have made a correction. Its voice was also full of seductive magic. Even because of just two more words, Lu Ning felt that his mind was being pulled in that direction.
At this time, Ye Tisi from behind pulled her back, and also pulled Mo Lianren over, and stuffed two balls made of cloth into their hands.
"This is too exciting for those of you who have never experienced it. If we can communicate, I will be responsible for the communication." Ye Tisi squeezed past the two people and walked to the front, opened her arms to show that she was not carrying a weapon, and then shouted loudly, "If you have no intention of attacking us, can we talk about it?"
The murlocs looked at each other - to them it was just a rolling eyeball on both sides, and then the murloc on the front spoke.
"The hesitant blood is not qualified to talk to us who were born by the mother goddess."
"So, what kind of blood is needed to communicate with you? Since the language is connected, it means that you can also communicate with the outside world, right?"
The fish people behind suddenly laughed, and the laughter penetrated the cloth that blocked Lu Ning's ears. She immediately felt dizzy, her legs became weak, and she couldn't help but want to walk forward.
"Lu Ning!"
Shu Xingruo reached out to hold her and pinched her arm hard, which made her sober up.
Mo Lianren was trembling all over, but he didn't take a step forward. He seemed to be doing well.
After a while, the fish at the front spoke.
"Water burial, rebirth, we will share the blood of the Mother Goddess with you, and you will become the abandoned Lake Clan. In that way, it will no longer be you, but 'us'."
"What are 'you'?"
"Abandoned blood, the descendant of God, the most loyal child of the Mother Goddess, and the only pure land here - rest assured, all the dirt on your body will be washed away, you will also bathe in God's grace, and your soul will be with the water Together, your life will be equal to the lake.”
The fish people sang in unison.
"What are you waiting for! Let's go quickly!"
Ye Tisi turned around and ran back, slapped Mo Lianren on the face to wake her up, and then pushed them into the passage, escaping from here much faster than when she came, and far away from the fish people. Deadly singing.
It wasn't until they saw the moon again that they collapsed to the ground panting.
"It's really scary..."
"You're just not used to it yet." Ye Tisi also had a frightened expression on her face. Her face was also red now, and there were more sweat beads on her forehead than the other four.
"I have to say, I don't think I'd ever say thank you for someone whipping me." Mo Lianren was the other one who could barely stand, "But thank you anyway."
"Their sounds are so weird." Lu Ning raised her head and leaned against a rock, gasping for air. She definitely didn't want to experience the feeling of losing control of her whole body just now again.
"Sirens, sirens...there are actually many similar records. Their sounds can induce a large amount of secretion of various hormones in organisms other than their own race. In severe cases, it can produce hallucinogenic and lethal effects. I have encountered one before. This I didn't expect it to be a group." Ye Tisi wiped the sweat from her head and explained, "But they don't seem to be able to leave the water too far, and they don't seem to chase them out."
"That's lucky."
After resting for a while, they gradually regained their composure, and their violently beating hearts also calmed down.
But this moment of respite did not last long. Soon, the sound of human beings shouting loudly came from the forest, and there seemed to be screams.
"Hey... is it so fast?" Ye Tisi scratched her hair irritably, "You really don't give me any rest time."
"It's fighting, and there should be a lot of people there. Should we go over and take a look?" Mo Lianren asked.
"Okay, let's go."
Shu Xingruo stood up, took the dagger and adjusted her clothes. This time she was going to walk in front.
Just as several people were preparing to leave, Lu Ning turned back and looked around.
The moon is in the middle of the sky, its light is bright and clear, and everything can be seen clearly in places where there is no jungle cover. The occasional sound of birds singing and cicadas can be heard in the forest, and the sound of fighting in the distance does not affect the peaceful scene around it. The evening breeze blew through the treetops, making a rustling sound, and also caused scattered changes in the shadows in the forest.
However, it was this scenery that made Lu Ning tremble involuntarily.
"Hey, Ye Tisi... I have a question."
"Say." Ye Tisi was stopped when she was about to leave and turned around with doubts.
"The scientific and technological world view does not reach the interstellar level, and without a special statement, it is assumed that we are all on the earth, right?"
"Yes, because the people in the distribution center are all recruited from similar worlds and will not throw us into a completely unfamiliar world without warning."
"That's it, haha, that's fine."
Lu Ning lowered her head and slowly reached out to cover her face.
"Really? You seem to be shaking a lot?"
"It's nothing, I just feel a little chilly on my back... Maybe it'll be fine if I calm down a bit."
"What did you find? Although the density of dangers you have encountered so far is relatively high, it is not to the point of being scary, right?"
"I don't know anything now, so it's best not to say it. Ah, but I have some understanding of the weirdness and bizarreness of the second level difficulty. It's best not to take this scene too lightly."
Lu Ning put down her hand and grabbed her arm to calm herself down.
"If you feel you should speak up, I'd be happy to be a listening ear."
The doubts in Ye Tisi's eyes were not eliminated, but she had no intention of forcing Lu Ning to speak out.
The five people marched in single file in the forest. Shu Xingruo and Mo Lianren, who were in the lead, quickly moved around to the place where the sound of fighting came from.
In the dense forest, it was a battle fought by one person against eleven people.
A fat man wearing patchwork leather armor, carrying a beheading sword and a meteor hammer, suppressed eleven people holding wooden sticks and simple farm tools to the point where they did not dare to get close.
Those who were besieging obviously had some fighting skills, but these skills were of no use to Fatty. No matter whether it was a close attack or a thrown object, it would bounce off him immediately, even if it was a sharp sickle or hatchet. The result is the same when going up.
On the contrary, the fat man's decapitating sword was swung with great force, and its weight alone was enough to break a person's bones and tendons. If it weren't for the fact that only the living could obtain "blood", the people present would probably have suffered casualties long ago.
No, it has already appeared.
Three people were lying in the bushes. They had all suffered blunt blows and suffered extensive fractures, making it difficult to move. They could only occasionally let out a painful groan. If this injury alone is not treated for too long, he will die.
The fat man in the battle circle roared proudly, and drove everyone back with a horizontal strike of his broadsword. He suddenly threw the meteor hammer with his left hand. This was not the first time he had used this move. The people who were besieging him were also on guard. They were hit by the meteor hammer. The attacker immediately rolled to the side, and the hammer, which was as big as an adult's head, fell and hit a tree hard, making a heavy "click" sound.
Mo Lianren quickly rushed out from behind the tree, avoiding the slowly falling tree trunk. However, in doing so, she revealed her position.
"There is still someone hiding! Then let's stay too!"
"Friend! Do me a favor!"
Fatty shouted together with one of the people involved in the siege.
At this moment, another thin man took advantage of his size and rushed directly under the fat man's ribs. He jumped up and held down his shoulders. He stabbed the fat man in the eye with the kitchen knife he held tightly in his hand!
"Ha ha ha ha!!"
The fat man burst into laughter. People were shocked to find that the knife was indeed stuck in the eye, but it was like it was stuck in the elastic dough, and it did not cause any actual damage at all!
"Just you guys, don't even think about causing any harm to me!"
With a wave of his left hand, he slapped the thin man from behind, took out the knife by holding the handle with two fingers, then turned and threw it to the tree on the other side!
"There is still one!"
It was just a kitchen knife, but it exerted the same destructive power as the meteor hammer just now. The tree where Shu Xingruo was hiding was also destroyed. She dodged to the side, shook her wrist slightly, and shook off the dagger hidden in her sleeve. In hand.
"Um?"
Seeing Shu Xingruo's attire, Fatty was stunned for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, his face showed an expression of extreme respect and joy.
"Third Sister, you...are back?"
Except for Mo Lianren, everyone had expressions of imminent disaster on their faces.
Shu Xingruo stood there silently, without speaking. He raised his dagger to draw a V shape in front of him, and made a gesture to the fat man with his other hand.
"Yes, yes... I'm going to chase someone else. Third sister, fifth brother, I miss you, and us. You have to go home after hunting tonight, and we have to get together." The fat man nodded and said, The fierce look just now has completely subdued, and even a hint of flattery can be seen.
Amid everyone's surprised expressions, the fat man actually ran away without looking back.
It wasn't until about a minute passed that no one was seen coming back that Lu Ning, Ye Tisi and Su Zhilan came over from different directions.
"Whose things did you steal...is this identity so useful?"
Lu Ning was a little unbelievable. This was not the first time she had seen the ferocity of a pure-blood hunter. Fatty's abilities were invincible to her now. However, the owner of this suit of clothes that Shu Xingruo found could actually make him ignore all obstacles. If this weird thing just gives up hunting, how strong should Jiwei be?
"You, you, you are..." The people who were also frightened and did not know the truth had not yet reacted.
"Crow." Shu Xingruo took off his pointed hat and smiled at them.
