The five people not far away said: "As expected, she must be more than just F-rank."
"He is really playing the pig to eat the tiger, what a cunning man!"
"Fortunately, we did not act rashly, otherwise we would be the ones dead now."
The comments were also full of confusion, not understanding why such a powerful octopus monster could be repelled by Josh, who only had 3 points of attack power.
Qiao Xi had already withdrawn her hand after scaring off the octopus, so naturally, no one had time to see the mermaid scale hidden between her fingers.
This was what she had pulled from him when they were underwater and the mermaid wasn't paying attention.
These octopuses and dolphins are extremely afraid of mermaids. They would rather float on the water than sink even a little bit. This shows the deterrent power of mermaids.
That's why after she angered the octopus, she took out the fish scales and hid them between her fingers.
The octopus had sensitive tentacles. After sensing the mermaid's scent, it was frightened and shrank into a corner, trembling with fear, with a certain resentment in its eyes.
This also confirmed Josh's guess.
She ignored the octopus and asked everyone to make a fire on the stage and grill the octopus.
Qiao Xi secretly opened Pinxixi again and exchanged some simple seasonings.
After a while, the fragrant barbecue smell filled the entire stage.
The little monkey in the cage rubbed his eyes sleepily and stared at Josh with drool.
The big guy looked at her hesitantly: "These things are stained with human blood, they can't be eaten..."
Josh smiled and said, "Okay, it's clean."
She opened her mouth and took a bite of the octopus foot. The chewy and tender octopus foot was roasted just right and tasted amazing.
After eating half of the octopus foot, she felt that her strength had been restored a little.
Suddenly there was a slight noise coming from the cage next to him.
The little monkey was attracted by the smell and was looking over here timidly.
Noticing Josh's gaze, the little monkey quickly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
If Fore found it not sleeping in broad daylight, it would be beaten badly.
Qiao Xi picked out some octopus feet without chili peppers, handed them to the cage, and whispered, "Eat it."
The little monkey didn't dare to move and closed his eyes even tighter.
Qiao Xi curled his lips and moved his octopus leg closer: "Open your mouth."
The little monkey smelled the food, closed his eyes, opened his mouth, took a big bite, chewed it twice, and swallowed it.
[Ding! Congratulations on triggering the side quest and rescuing the little monkey from the circus. ]
Soon, its eyes widened in surprise again, and it looked around furtively, then came close to Josh in the cage: "Delicious! Delicious!"
This little monkey can actually talk?
A gleam of light flashed across Qiao Xi's eyes. Noticing the gazes of several people not far away, she blocked the little monkey's figure and lowered her voice: "Are you hungry? Do you still want to eat?"
The little monkey nodded obediently.
Josh: “Then you have to answer me a few questions.”
The little monkey hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
Josh asked, “Why don’t you dare to grab the food in the water?”
When the little monkey heard about water, a trace of fear flashed across his eyes: "Water, don't get close! You will die!"
Qiao Xi pretended to be confused: "Why did you die? If you didn't jump in, you wouldn't have drowned."
She handed the little monkey a little more octopus foot.
The little monkey bit it in a hurry, and after eating it, he said, "You will die! The mermaid king is very scary. If you are found by him, you will be eaten. You can't go near the water!"
A hint of understanding flashed across Qiao Xi's eyes, but he pretended to be puzzled: "But I saw him locked under the water. Who locked it up?"
The little monkey glanced at the octopus, and the octopus not far away looked at it warningly.
The little monkey shrank back in fear and dared not speak.
Josh followed its gaze and saw the octopus not far away.
The octopus had regained its composure and was looking warily in Josh's direction.
Josh ignored him and tugged at the monkey's chain: "Did For lock you up here? How can I get you out?"
[Ding! Congratulations on gaining 20 points of favor from the little monkey. Please keep up the good work.]
The little monkey looked at her hesitantly: "You can't save us unless you can..."
"Why are you telling her this?" The lion next to him secretly opened one eye and looked at Qiao Xi warily: "Humans are such cruel creatures. Aren't we in this state because of humans? Do you still dare to trust humans? What she gave you might be poisonous. You will die after she tells you the truth!"
Hearing this, the little monkey shrank back in fear and dared not approach Josh again.
Qiao Xi did not approach blindly, but spent his points to redeem some ointments on Pinxixi. "This is a hemostatic ointment. Apply it and the wound will heal faster."
The little monkey looked at her hesitantly and didn't come any closer.
Josh turned back to grilling the octopus.
An octopus was more than ten meters long, which was more than enough for her to eat.
She still had a fever and needed to replenish her energy.
Seeing that she had her back to him, the little monkey moved over carefully, picked up the ointment, smelled it, and after making sure it was okay, he applied it on himself.
Seeing this, the lion just snorted disdainfully and turned away.
The octopus suddenly raised its tentacles towards Josh and hit him hard.
The big guy held Josh and dodged.
The octopus's foot hit the stage hard, waking up Fore who was backstage.
With a look of anger at being woken up, For rushed out waving a whip: "Who is causing trouble?!"
The octopus quickly pretended to close his eyes, but he could not escape Fowle's eyes.
Foul whipped him hard with a whip: "Behave yourself, you idiot! Don't even think about betraying me while I'm asleep, or I'll make you live a life worse than death!"
Her whip hit the octopus's eye.
The octopus roared in pain, but did not dare to resist at all. He could only nod tremblingly: "Master, don't worry, I dare not."
Fowle sneered at it and said, "Who knows if you would dare, you beast with a criminal record!"
Josh shrank to the side the moment Forle came out.
After teaching the octopus a lesson, Fore glanced at Josh and the five people gathered nearby and said, "You'd better behave yourself. Daytime is for sleeping. If you want to take advantage of the opportunity to do something, I advise you to give up. There is a price to pay for letting the circus animals escape!"
The last sentence was directed to Josh.
Josh didn’t speak.
She stood up only after Faure entered.
So many monsters here obey Forle's orders, which shows that Forle is the strongest here.
I wonder who is taller, compared to the mermaid below.
The mermaid told her to find all three pieces of equipment before going to see him...
But the condition for passing this game is to find all three pieces of equipment.
Why would you go look for him again if you have the equipment and can just clear the level?
[Ding! Congratulations to the player for triggering the hidden mission "Rescue the Mermaid King". ]
I see.
The barrage of comments exploded again.
