Yan Zi collected all the seeds into her spatial dimension, then leaped out of the water and left the hybrid aquatic plant area.
After she cleared away the water plants, more mermaids swarmed over.
Yan Zi ignored it and submitted the task after completing it.
Then I decisively accepted mission two!
The village chief hadn't expected that this human would choose the unremarkable first task.
Even the way he looked at her became much more serious.
On the way, the old village chief told her the story of these mermaids without any hesitation.
Yan Zi finally understood why the old village chief had to guard these mermaids.
The old village chief was a subordinate of the dragon princess.
At the request of the dragon princess, they were to take good care of these mermaids. However, a catastrophic event caused all of these adopted people to undergo a mutation, resulting in their mermaid tails being stained with venom...
Because their tails were covered in venom, the old village chief had no choice but to cut all the fish apart to prevent them from poisoning other fish.
The second task is mainly to cure their poisonous tails.
Their venom only causes corrosion, leading to death from illness at best, or plague at worst...
For these reasons, no doctors were willing to treat them, making it increasingly difficult for the mermaids to survive, and their numbers plummeted.
Even Yan Zi felt a chill run down her spine after hearing this; touching the tail meant certain death...
How desperate must someone be to actually touch these mermaids!
At this point, she suddenly remembered the mermaids who were taken away by contracts.
Especially the one in Su Wanying's house!
Yan Zi asked, "Then why is there a third mission? If we take these contracts, will they be able to return to normal?"
The old village chief immediately shook his head and smiled bitterly!
"It's not that simple. It's just that the power of the contract allows them to share the venom. If someone has the ability to resist the venom or has healing abilities, it can alleviate the symptoms. Otherwise, it only binds their lives together for ten years, and they won't die."
Yan Zi felt a little heavy-hearted after hearing this.
Does Su Wanying even know?
The old village chief seemed to realize he had said too much and sighed helplessly.
"You don't need to worry, mission three offers a choice!"
"By helping the mermaids absorb the venom, they can also gain the power of the mermaids. Moreover, there is a telepathic connection between them before the contract is signed. Unless it is voluntary, the contract cannot be signed!"
Yan Zi nodded, but the heavy feeling of oppression in her heart was still overflowing uncontrollably.
The old village chief led her to a closed room.
There are ten room doors in total, and each room door is a transparent glass dome, inside which hangs a mermaid.
Looking into the distance, Yan Zi saw the pitiful state of the mermaids. Each of them was covered in whip marks and various bruises from being whipped, and they were covered in blood. Their tails were also covered in scales that had fallen off...
"You've tortured them?"
The old village chief shook his head, then pointed to the irrigation ditch!
"I'm giving them a blood transfusion. The poison in their bodies can't be suppressed, so this is the only way to force the poison out and then replace it with fresh blood."
Yan Zi frowned, then suddenly turned around.
Where did the fresh blood come from?
The old village chief snapped out of his daze and then gave a kind, simple smile.
"Of course they belong to you!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the old village chief pulled out a dagger and stabbed her in the lower back!
Yan Zi reacted quickly, then twisted her body, and the dagger grazed her skin.
She quickly took out a shield to block, and swung her sword.
"hateful!"
The scabbard extends horizontally!
Yan Zi's knife-wielding movements became increasingly fierce. The old village chief's stance was clearly not a bluff; on the contrary, it carried a bloodthirsty and oppressive aura.
"Old village chief, nine out of ten things you say are lies, aren't they?"
Yan Zi spoke coldly, and the old village chief couldn't help but sneer!
"I'm not like you bunch of foolish humans! You actually think it's a good thing for me to trade mermaids with you? Since you like saving them, why not leave your lives for them?"
No sooner had the old village chief finished speaking than he raised his hand and fired another cannon!
Yan Zi frantically flung the props in her hands outwards, causing them to collide violently with him.
After working hard for half an hour, both of them started to slack off!
The old village chief hadn't expected this human to be so difficult to defeat.
He stared intently at her, then turned to the people in the glass tube, a cruel smile suddenly appearing on his lips.
A fierce whip lashed out, shattering all the glass tubes. The mermaids lay on the ground, wailing incessantly.
Yan Zi's expression instantly turned somewhat unpleasant.
Although she had no particular interest in these merfolk, she didn't want these innocent creatures to die here alive.
As if realizing her reluctance, the old village chief picked up a whip and lashed it violently on the ground. The mermaid, who was already on the verge of death, was now in even more disarray, with her human tail almost separating from her body!
Yan Zi gritted her teeth in anger.
Prickly Gourd: "Master, should we save these merfolk?"
Yan Zi took several deep breaths: "A Jiao, go and gather them all together and protect them. Ci Gua, go and treat them."
After assigning the task, Yan Zi rushed straight towards the old village chief, wildly swinging her knife!
The contest between the old village chief and her has begun once again.
Yan Zi hit him very hard this time, and it could be said that she was driven by anger.
Ah Jiao and Ci Gua have already begun treating the group of mermaids.
When the mermaids saw the two approaching, they were initially startled, but gradually relaxed after feeling the warm power, allowing them to be whipped.
The spiny gourd has various sharp spines on its body, which can assist in healing and recovery. Although it looks like it is attacking its tail, it is actually helping to evolve and heal!
The old village chief glanced at it briefly, then sneered. "Isn't your contracted beast supposed to be very obedient? It didn't listen to you at all, and even abused the mermaid. It's no better than me, so what right does it have to criticize me?"
Yan Zi did not reply, and her attacks became even more rapid, leaving him no time to concentrate!
The old village chief gritted his teeth in anger and started tearing at her!
The attack between the two sides was extremely fierce, and the merfolk gradually returned to normal.
Their wounds were very painful, but the healing and anesthetic effects provided some relief.
So that they won't be buried by pain and suffering.
After their bodies were freed, one of the mermaids turned around and stood up, its fish tail twitching on the ground, looking quite terrifying.
Prickly Gourd: "Your tail is about to break off, stop jumping!"
It was almost unbearable to look at; I felt a sense of empathy for it. Fortunately, it had the ability to regenerate; even if a few thorns broke off, it could still repair itself.
The mermaid looked at it with a grin.
"Thank you, Mr. Cactus! If it weren't for you, we would have been humiliated by this strange man!"
Her tone was humble and her manners were impeccable; she was clearly a well-mannered mermaid.
It was the first time that Cigua had been addressed with such respect, and Ajiao rolled his eyes.
It asked, "Do you know how to cure the poison in your bodies?"
The merfolk looked at each other in bewilderment...
