Xie Xuan originally thought that she was cold-blooded enough, but every time she encountered such a situation, she still felt powerless.

It was as if there was a voice in the dark constantly telling her that she could do more and help more people.

Xie Xuan threw away all these messy thoughts and thrust the dagger into the giant tree with force. After the dagger went in thirty centimeters, Xie Xuan used her manipulation skills to control the dagger to go further in, cutting the giant tree, which was so thick that ten people could hug it, in half.

The fish eggs suddenly stopped moving, but Xie Xuan's attention was no longer on the eggs.

There is actually an open space in the middle of this giant tree. Not only is it an open space, it seems to be connected to another pool.

In the deep and terrifying dark blue surroundings, there is light blue water in the middle of the giant tree, and a clear dividing line separates the two types of water.

After Xie Xuan cut down the giant tree, air bubbles stopped appearing. Xie Xuan had no choice but to swim into the hole that led to nowhere.

Xie Xuan originally thought that the other pool would be very deep, but she didn't expect that after she jumped in, she only swam forward for less than a minute before floating to the surface.

This pool was different from the one Xie Xuan had just been in. It was surrounded by transparent glass, and the baffle in front was not high, so two huge fishmen could be seen standing outside.

But these two fishmen were different from the fishmen Xie Xuan had just seen. They were wearing human clothes, but with fish heads sticking out of their collars, which looked very funny.

Xie Xuan was not the only one in the pool. Besides Xie Xuan, there were several other people resting in the relatively shallow water nearby.

These people also looked terrified, their bodies were pale from being soaked in water, and they huddled against the wall to keep warm.

Xie Xuan couldn't find Xiao Yao among these people, but Xie Xuan still swam over.

The water level here just didn't reach Xie Xuan's waist. Xie Xuan twisted her hair and looked at the young man next to her who had been looking at her. "What's going on here?"

The man looked terrified, but his words were still clear. "The fishmen outside take someone away every once in a while. Where did you come from? Has the rescue team from the Ecological Bureau arrived?"

"I came from the other side. I don't know if the rescue has arrived. Do you know how many people were taken away?"

"How many?" The man counted on his fingers in panic, "One, two... I think there are four."

"Do you know what these people were taken away for?" Xie Xuan asked.

The man opened his eyes wide in horror and looked behind Xie Xuan, "Again!"

The big hand that stretched out from behind Xie Xuan was not directed at Xie Xuan, but at the man. The man was so scared that he fell into the water and almost drowned.

Xie Xuan held the fingers of the big hand and sat on its wrist, looking up to meet the fishman's eyes, which were as big as hers. "Take me there."

The fishman didn't know whether it understood or not, but it didn't try to catch the man again. Instead, it turned around and walked in another direction with Xie Xuan.

The fishman took Xie Xuan away from the fish tank where customers could order and choose fish, and entered a room that looked like a kitchen.

There is also a huge fishman processing the ingredients on the chopping board, but lying on the chopping board is also a huge fishman.

Xie Xuan found it hard to imagine how distorted the mind of the host must be to create such a realm.

People are the meat and fish are the butchers, but the fish-men are eating their own kind by ripping open their bellies.

Xie Xuan was casually placed on the table by the fishman, and next to her was the fishman's head lying on the chopping board.

The fishman chef was processing his internal organs, but the fishman didn't seem to be dead yet. His eyes were turning quickly towards Xie Xuan.

The entire space was filled with the pungent smell of fish and blood, which made Xie Xuan feel physically nauseous.

The merman who brought Xie Xuan here began to help the merman chef. They carefully removed the blood from the fish bladder that had just been taken out of the stomach of a fellow merman, cleaned it, and placed it on the plate.

While the merman chef was processing the fish bladder, another merman got a needle and thread from somewhere and sewed up the belly of the merman on the chopping board.

After cutting off the thread, the fishman who was half-dead just now got down from the chopping board, picked up the plate and prepared to start serving.

Xie Xuan felt that if she continued to watch, she would be infected by the spirit of this area. She hid in a corner and watched the fish people looking for her.

But they gave up after searching for a while. The merman chef placed the fish maw that he had just taken out of the merman waiter's body on the tray in the merman waiter's hand and motioned him to serve the dish.

As soon as the waiter left, the chef and the assistant left the kitchen, and Xie Xuan hurriedly followed them.

The fishman walked very fast, and Xie Xuan had to run to catch up with it. After leaving the kitchen, the fishman passed through a dark corridor with glass walls on both sides, but it was very dark inside. Without any light, Xie Xuan could not see what was inside.

The door at the other end of the corridor slowly opened, revealing a clean, bright and magnificent place. Just from the patterned carpet on the floor and the patterned wallpaper on the wall, you can tell that this should be where the food is served.

But just as Xie Xuan was about to follow, someone suddenly appeared beside her and grabbed her.

"Xie Xuan, it's me!"

Xie Xuan almost attacked with a dagger.

With the help of the light coming from the other side of the corridor, Xie Xuan saw clearly the person walking out from the darkness. It was indeed Xiao Yao.

Like Xie Xuan, Xiao Yao was also soaked like a drowned ghost.

He pulled Xie Xuan to the corner and waited for the fishman to enter the restaurant. After the huge door closed, he whispered to Xie Xuan, "This fishman waiter is the parasite Zhang Zheping, but his heart is not in his own body."

Xie Xuan was stunned. "But I just saw this waiter being gutted by a fishman chef and having his fish bladder taken out. That's what he's holding in his hand right now."

Xiao Yao nodded: "This is the fifth time he has been eviscerated."

Xie Xuan: "So you are the first person to be caught by the fishman and taken into the kitchen?"

Xiao Yao still nodded: "Where were you first assigned to by the domain?"

Xie Xuan recalled the situation when he came down just now. "I feel like this area is like two pools of water back to back. At the beginning, I encountered two fishmen who looked like breeders. They threw everyone into the water. Except for me, everyone else was either eaten by the breeders or trapped in a huge tree at the bottom of the water to breed new fishmen."

Xiao Yao was thoughtful, "Then how did you get here?"

"I cut the tree down. It's hollow, and the other end is connected to the pool where you started."

Xiao Yao was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly asked Xie Xuan, "Do you still remember what Zhang Zheping told me about his life before the domain was formed?"
