As the Glorious Tribe expanded its influence, so did the Piranha Tribe.

But the atmosphere among the piranha tribe suddenly became tense because of the abnormal death of a silver-level mermaid.

Piranha tribe.

Inside the wide but dim cave, there is a deep pool.

A young man with silver hair like seaweed was floating in the water, dozing, with only the area above his chest exposed.

The cave was silent, and the sound of water dripping into the deep pool above the cave was extremely clear.

Suddenly, a sound of hurried footsteps came closer and closer.

Soon, a tall, thin, middle-aged male quickly entered the cave and knelt on the ground, crawling forward and begging: "Your Highness, please spare my life, Your Highness, please spare my life..."

He had just been urgently summoned, and because of the reputation he had accumulated over time, the summoner secretly told him that His Highness Yin was furious and asked him to be careful.

Even though he was a respected priest in the tribe, once he entered the Youquan Cave, he became his master's slave. He could only grovel and beg for mercy from his master, because his master seemed gentle but was actually cruel and merciless.

He still remembered that the previous priest was cruelly thrown into an underwater cave because he prevented His Highness Yin from leading his people to land.

The siren that was lured by His Highness Yin was torn to pieces and eaten alive, and its wailing continued for a long time.

Jiao Yin opened his eyes upon hearing this and said calmly, "Spare my life? You are a priest, but you can't lift the curse on your people. What use are you?"

His voice was clearly very light, but it frightened the priest so much that he could not help but return to his merman form and lay on the ground trembling.

The proud priest of the piranha tribe now humbly prostrated himself on the ground, begging for mercy in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, please give me another chance. I will definitely be able to divine a way to resolve this crisis."

Half a month ago.

Two members of the tribe, one after the other, inexplicably developed ulcers all over their bodies, and the disease progressed very quickly. After the skin ulcerated, pus and blood began to ooze out, and pieces of flesh fell off when they moved, which looked extremely disgusting.

But what is horrifying is that despite such serious injuries, the man did not die. He did not die until most of the flesh on his body fell off.

The creepy wailing during the period made people feel terrified.

Moreover, soon a silver-level mermaid also fell ill inexplicably, and the situation was exactly the same as the previous two mermaids.

Even the time from onset to death is the same, death will occur on the seventh day.

After many diagnoses and treatments, the old witch doctor finally concluded after the death of the silver-level mermaid that the tribe was cursed by the beast god.

Because they are cannibals, they are cursed by the Beast God. If the curse is not lifted, they may all die miserably like this.

His Highness Yin obviously believed this statement. For a mysterious event like a curse, it was necessary for him, a priest, to solve it.

But...he has a secret.

The priest hesitated briefly...

"Haha. Then what are you waiting for? Waiting to die?"

As Jiao Yin sneered, the sound of water splashing was heard.

Jiao Yin straightened up and sat on a huge rock beside the deep pool, swinging his silver fish tail, splashing water everywhere.

The water drops fell on the priest's body, and he felt as if he was burned by magma, and his body shook even more violently.

The priest was sweating profusely, but he didn't dare to wipe it off. He said in panic: "I will tell the divination right now, this is it..."

He reached out to pull out the scales on his chest. With a muffled groan, he held the two bloody scales in his hands, closed his eyes, and shook them rapidly.

But, he doesn't know how to tell fortunes at all!

He has a secret that he has always kept deep in his heart. In fact, he is just the adopted son of the previous priest. He does not have the true priest bloodline and cannot learn the true divination skills.

But how could he tell His Highness Yin? He would die if he told her...

When the previous priest died, he was scared half to death. Later, after being beaten up, he was actually promoted to be the new priest.

At the time, he was so overwhelmed by the honor and power that he completed the succession ceremony without thinking. Afterwards, he could only pretend to be a good person, relying on guessing Jiao Yin's thoughts and obeying Jiao Yin to barely maintain his appearance.

So, how could he know divination? How could he know how to break this so-called curse?

Is the curse real, or just an excuse from an incompetent witch doctor?

The priest's mind raced, and he suddenly thought of the legendary goddess. With an idea, he finally stopped shaking, opened his hands, and let the bloody scales fall to the ground.

He opened his eyes and pretended to bend over to study the scales. After a while, he said seriously, "Life is showing in the Central Plains. The divine blood can remove the power of the curse."

He raised his voice and said, "It's the goddess of the Central Plains! As long as the cursed people drink the goddess' blood, or eat the goddess' offspring, the curse on them will be lifted!"

The deeds of the goddess were widely spread, and the Glorious Tribe was developing very well, with several Silver-rank people in charge. Even His Highness Yin would find it difficult to capture them.

So, no matter whether it is true or not, it can definitely protect him from disaster.

This was the only way he could think of to delay the situation. If His Highness Yin couldn't capture the goddess, he wouldn't be to blame. And what if he was actually right?

"Hmm?" Jiao Yin was a little surprised when he heard that. "Are you sure?"

He always remembered how he had single-handedly awakened the female saltwater crocodile on the beach. Thinking of her miraculous qualities and the various abilities rumored to exist, he felt a deep fear of this goddess. Therefore, he continued to expand his power and avoided causing trouble for Bai Yingying.

But he was also tempted to capture Bai Yingying and study her. When he had the chance, he chose to cooperate with Xiao Mingcheng.

But he was tricked by Xiao Mingcheng. There has been no news from Xiao Mingcheng till now. If he had known this earlier, he would have used Xiao Mingcheng's body to exchange for the chance to see Bai Yingying.

Jiao Yin sighed inwardly with regret.

"Yes." The priest lowered his eyes and said respectfully, "The divination results show this: apart from the goddess's lineage, no other divine blood can be found in the Central Plains."

Jiao Yin pondered this for a moment and felt it was somewhat possible. If the Beast God's curse truly existed, wouldn't the Goddess be the only connection?

Give it a try...

He smiled slightly, "In that case, I will go there in person and meet the so-called...goddess..."

He knew that the goddess had some tricks up her sleeve and had many supporters around her. Sending people there would only be a waste of time and manpower. Only by going there in person would he have a chance.

He had to go there himself.

The number of mermen was not large to begin with, and they had lost some in the constant fighting. Their birth rate was low, and if they continued to die for no apparent reason, the Piranha Tribe would become the biggest joke on the Orc Continent.

After all, if all the mermaids died, wouldn’t all his painstaking planning be in vain?
