The person who came was a woman. Her pupils were oval, her tongue was long and forked and made a hissing sound, her body was slightly twisted, and she exuded a cold aura.

That’s right, it’s Zhou Tao.

Ruan Qingyu was startled by the sudden appearance of the woman, especially because the woman's facial features were obviously different from those of humans.

She subconsciously glanced at the car window and calmed herself down. It was okay, it was okay. What was she afraid of with Boss Meng Meng here?

But wasn't it Abyss who wanted to trade with her? Why was it Strawberry Tea who came?

Ruan Qingyu calmed down and asked, "Where's the Abyss? Isn't it the Abyss who wants to buy the spirit pearl?"

Zhou Tao stared at her intently and asked instead of answering, "Where's the Lingzhu?"

Ruan Qingyu was still confused. After hearing this, she said, "Sister, please listen to my advice. The side effects of the spirit pearl are unknown. You'd better not..."

"Stop talking nonsense and take out the spirit pearl!" Zhou Tao suddenly put the tip of the sword against Ruan Qingyu's neck, and said impatiently, "Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

Ruan Qingyu's face immediately turned pale. "If you have something to say, just talk it over nicely. Don't use violence..."

Zhou Tao's eyes were sinister. "The tip of the sword is smeared with poison. If it scratches your skin, you will die instantly. Hand over the spirit pearl quickly!"

As she spoke, she deliberately pressed down, and the tip of the sword was about to cut through the skin on Ruan Qingyu's neck...

"Zhou Tao," Meng Qingyin suddenly appeared behind Zhou Tao, strangling her neck with her elbow, "So it's you."

It turns out that Strawberry Tea is Zhou Tao - the Zhou Tao who once joined other children in the orphanage to bully others.

Zhou Tao recognized Meng Qingyin just by the voice. Her face flushed red as her neck was tightly strangled, but this could not hide the shock in her heart.

Why is Meng Qingyin here?

Also, why was she so fast that she was controlled as soon as she noticed something was wrong?

Zhou Tao opened her mouth wide to try to breathe more air, which also exposed her fangs completely to Ruan Qingyu.

Ruan Qingyu's eyes widened: "Boss Meng Meng, her teeth are like snakes, sharp and thin!"

How could human teeth be like this?

Combined with Strawberry Tea's appearance, Ruan Qingyu was shocked and blurted out: "Are you a human or a snake?!"

Meng Qingyin said firmly, "She swallowed a spirit bead related to snakes. The characteristics of these snakes are the side effects of swallowing spirit beads."

So this is what the Lingzhu introduction meant when it said “no longer human”!

However, will this side effect maintain its current characteristics, or will it continue to erode human characteristics until...

Meng Qingyin's eyes suddenly darkened.

Zhou Tao is the best monitoring target!

Zhou Tao knew that her cards had been exposed, and she struggled frantically, trying to break free from Meng Qingyin's shackles.

But Meng Qingyin's combat power of more than 10,000 is real, not like Zhou Tao's inflated combat power accumulated by swallowing spirit beads.

Especially her strength attribute, which is even twice that of Zhou Tao. Even if Zhou Tao struggled with all her strength, it was in vain, and her face turned purple instead.

Zhou Tao was very unwilling to accept this. Her fighting ability was obviously not much different from Meng Qingyin's, so why was she unable to fight back against Meng Qingyin?

If it was someone else, it would be fine, but it had to be Meng Qingyin!

Meng Qingyin, who has always been inferior to her since childhood!

How could she accept this?

Zhou Tao roared in frustration, her voice hoarse: "Meng Qingyin, you have been so disgusting since you were a child!"

"Please find me a rope." Meng Qingyin ignored her and said to Ruan Qingyu.

Ruan Qingyu immediately took out a thick and long hemp rope from the system backpack.

The two men worked together to tie Zhou Tao up. Zhou Tao was tied up like a dumpling and could only struggle wildly on the ground.

Even so, she was unforgiving: "Meng Qingyin, if you have the guts, let me go. Who the hell do you think you are? You weren't even worthy of carrying my shoes before!"

"You're just a piece of trash who's loved by no one and bullied by everyone! You know what a piece of trash is!!"

Zhou Tao glared at Meng Qingyin with hatred, venting his anger.

"Waste?" Meng Qingyin stepped on her face, not affected by her words at all. "Who is the waste now?"

Zhou Tao squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth, "Look at you now, what's the difference between you and us before? Bullying the weak, what are you so proud of?"

"Bullying?" Meng Qingyin just found it funny. "So when you guys teamed up to bully me, you knew it was bullying? Then why can't you stand it when others treat you like that?"

What she did to Zhou Tao now was not even one-tenth of what they had done before.

But Zhou Tao couldn't stand this level of behavior, and she righteously accused her of "bullying the weak". She was really hypocritical.

Even if Ruan Qingyu was slow-witted, she could still see the tension between the two of them.

She asked tentatively, "Well, since you two know each other, I'll leave this person to you..."

Meng Qingyin didn't deny it: "We do know each other, but I won't do anything to her for now. She is my key monitoring target."

With Zhou Tao, she can observe the impact of the spirit pearl on humans very intuitively.

Moreover, Zhou Tao's current appearance can also serve as a warning to other players.

Thinking of this, Meng Qingyin took several photos of Zhou Tao, all of which were close-ups of the snake-like part of her face.

After taking the photo, I sent it to the group.

Meng Meng: "[Picture][Picture][Picture] This is the initial change after swallowing the spirit pearl. Please be vigilant!"

Die Wu was full of people saying, "I clicked on the picture without any preparation and was shocked! Why did Boss Meng Meng post a picture of a snake?"

Huiwei Cat~ (Miscellaneous Version): "Look carefully, that's not a snake, but a person! The human characteristics in these parts of her body are not obvious, but the snake characteristics are very obvious! Is this... a snake woman?"

Zhu 9499: "Oh my god, after swallowing the spirit pearl, he stopped being human? Is this the price of gaining combat power? How terrifying."

Meng Meng: "This is just the initial price. As for whether it will continue to move closer to the snake, it remains to be verified."

Ji Chen is a wolf: "Boss Meng Meng means...she might slowly become a real snake?!"

Qi Moli: "So what the hell is this spirit bead? What does the main system do? Turn all of us players into animals?"

The big tiger who always loves to play badly: "But what about the elimination in five days? If we don't improve our combat power, 500 players will be eliminated!"

Meng Meng: "In addition to spirit beads, there are many other ways to improve combat power. The combat power increased by swallowing spirit beads is personal combat power. There are also many factors such as pet combat power, vehicles, weapons, equipment, and gold coins. You can start with these factors."
