Before Josh could respond, he was pulled off.

Just one step away and the Poseidon statue will open its eyes completely.

After being pulled away, Qiao Xi felt as if her connection with love was suddenly cut off. Without the support of emotions, she felt exhausted after running 800 kilometers. Her body instantly went limp, and was supported by the strong arms behind her.

Yu Ze's face turned cold and he looked at the statue with gloomy eyes.

The eyes of the statue were not open, but the overwhelming pressure of the sea god burst out in an instant, almost turning into a physical hand, trying to crush Yu Ze.

Yu Ze protected Qiao Xi behind him and instantly burst out with a mental force stronger than that of the Poseidon statue, with a warning in his eyes.

Last time he underestimated the power of the Poseidon Statue, so he was caught off guard.

This time it won’t be so easy to deal with.

His mental strength continued to rise, and there was a faint golden light flashing in his eyes. He broke through from S level to SS, and then to SSS!

The entire ancestral hall was shaken.

The spiritual power of the Poseidon statue was bounced back, and the stone and sand were re-sculpted into clay, as if the previous unsealing was an illusion of a dream.

The ancestral hall returned to peace.

Yu Ze withdrew his mental strength and turned to look at Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi's face was so pale that it was almost transparent. He looked like he had just been fished out of the water. He was sweating profusely, and even his usually crystal clear amber eyes had dimmed a lot.

"How is it?" Yu Ze put her on the ground.

It took Qiao Xi a long time to recover. The pain of her spiritual sea being destroyed made her frown. Every time she breathed, she felt a sharp pain in her temples.

She leaned back weakly, leaning trustfully into Yu Ze's arms, and muttered weakly, "It hurts so much..."

Yu Ze's mouth twitched slightly, and he raised his hand to give her a slap: "You are asking for your life, how dare you try anyone?"

Qiao Xi took a long break, climbed out of his arms, and his eyes regained their spirits: "It's amazing, Captain, I just felt love? Just now, for a moment, I really felt that I really loved Poseidon. His loneliness and pain made me feel so painful too."

"Fuck you!" Another slap came down, and Josh's forehead instantly turned red.

Yu Ze still felt that it was not enough and glared at her fiercely: "Underage people are prohibited from falling in love prematurely!"

"Okay..." Qiao Xi touched his forehead and asked in confusion: "Why am I so weak just now after using my skills? There was no such situation when I investigated the Saint and Yuexi before."

Yu Ze gave her a cold look and said, "What level are you and what level is he. The spiritual power of a god is at least above the SS level. You, a little F, need to consume a huge amount of spiritual power to perceive such a high level of spiritual sea. It would be strange if you don't overdraw. If I hadn't come quickly, you would have waited for Machi to collect your body."

Josh suddenly realized, no wonder.

However, she seemed to have found a way to awaken the sea god invisibly.

If Yu Ze hadn't pulled her away just now, she would have most likely awakened the sea god.

But she was not sure whether Poseidon was a friend or an enemy, or whether he was good or bad, so she could not wake him up rashly.

Qiao Xi looked at the statue and blinked: "Captain, do you think the details of the statue have become much more refined?"

Yu Ze nodded: "I guess it won't be long before he wakes up."

Qiao Xi touched his chin and said, "This statue of Poseidon looks like you..."

Yuze glanced at her with a dark face and said, "Have you learned to curse people in a roundabout way now?"

Josh was stunned for a moment: "I'm serious."

Yuze's face darkened: "It will be rude if you continue to scold me."

Qiao Xi felt strange: "This statue of Poseidon really looks like you, especially the eyebrows and eyes, and the shape of the mouth is also similar."

Yu Ze was even more puzzled than her. He held her chin and looked around: "Let me see if she has been under the spell of the dead fish and hasn't woken up yet?"

How does this statue with squinty eyes, wide lips and square face look like him?

Seeing that he didn't look like he was joking, Qiao Xi wondered what was going on.

Could it be that the statue of Poseidon that she saw was different from the one that Yu Ze saw?

This statue of Poseidon clearly looks very much like him.

Qiao Xi was shocked. Rather than looking like Yu Ze, this statue looked more like the Mermaid King!

Something seemed to flash through her mind. Did she forget some important fragment?

She had watched her own replay in the novice copy before, and all the clips related to the Mermaid King were censored.

Although the official explanation is that the mermaid's mental pollution ability is too strong and may cause mental harm to players through the screen.

But later, an old player entered that dungeon to play, hoping to get the same artifact item as her, but the mermaid king under the pool did not look like the one she had seen before.

And it is just a mermaid with ordinary mental power level, just an ordinary dungeon monster.

Qiao Xi was a little confused. She vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

Forget it, after the dungeon is over, when I go out to review the game, I will look at the statue of Poseidon in the camera and I will know whether it is the same as what she saw.

Josh waved his hand: “Forget it, I’m too lazy to tell you.”

Yuze let her go and sat down next to the desk: "How is it? What did you find out?"

Qiao Xi informed him of the emotions that he had detected in the Saint and Yuexi.

Yu Ze also shared the news he had gathered with her: "Yun Bing said that the previous candidate saint fell in love with a man and eloped after being confirmed as a candidate. Later, she was killed and her body was left exposed in the wilderness. Her end was extremely miserable. All previous saints were not allowed to fall in love. She is the only candidate saint in the records who ended up like this for a man."

Josh nodded in understanding.

She already had a vague guess in her heart.

The two looked at each other and thought of the tower on the mountain at the same time.

Now that we know where the Nightmare Queen is, of course we have to go and see her.

Not far away, Yuexi was leading the women to move a new corpse to the thatched hut.

It was clearly a sacrifice last night, but someone died there?

Qiao Xi frowned slightly. All the priestesses were on the mountain last night and were basically under control. But someone died?

She and Yuzawa looked at each other and wrapped a thin spider silk around his ankle.

Yuzawa nodded.

The two men walked separately and hid on both sides of the house. When the women carried the body past, they did not see the taut spider silk hanging in the air on the ground, and the woman in the lead tripped and fell.

The body rolled out, shocking everyone around.

Yuexi's face darkened: "What's going on?!"

The women quickly covered the body and lifted it up again.

Although it was only a quick moment, Qiao Xi still saw that the corpse's stomach was cut open and the facial features were bleeding.

She quickly retracted the spider silk, exchanged a glance with Yu Ze, and the two of them evacuated and gathered at the foot of the mountain.

As the two were about to go up the mountain, they heard shouting from behind.

"Wait a minute! Stop right there!"
