Under Ais's control, the ice skeletons suddenly "came to life." Their joints cracked and creaked, emitting a chilling sound, as they staggered toward the merchants.
"Holy crap! This thing can move?" a fat businessman exclaimed, sitting down on the ground with a thud.
"Gu Xi, are you crazy? Stop it!" another businessman screamed, his voice filled with fear and anger.
Gu Xi hardened her heart, feeling a sense of blockage in her chest, but she watched everything with a blank expression.
Her voice was cold and firm: "The Deep Sea Clan is not as kind as you imagine, and the Bone Clan is more brutal than you imagine. Adapt to it, or you won't survive a single day in the real Deep Sea."
Ais stood in the small garden on the third floor, carefully observing the group of merchants. He was very curious as they were all human, so why were they so different from Gu Xi? "Pfft~ Their reactions are really interesting."
The merchants were cornered; some began to weep, while others frantically pounded on the invisible barrier, trying to escape this nightmarish scene.
"I can't go on... I want to go home!" A thin businessman curled up on the ground, trembling all over.
Just then, a burly merchant stepped forward. He took a deep breath and clenched his fist: "Everyone, calm down! These are just ice sculptures; they can't hurt us!"
His words seemed to give the others some courage. Several merchants stopped crying and began to sized up the approaching ice skeleton.
“Yes…yes! They’re just ice blocks!” another merchant chimed in, his voice still trembling.
Gu Xi raised an eyebrow and sent a mental notification to Ai Si.
Ais understood and whispered, "Plop plop~ Looks like we need to add some ingredients."
Suddenly, an ice skeleton extended its bone claws and grabbed the burly merchant by the collar. The merchant's face turned deathly pale, his legs went weak, and he froze on the spot.
"Help...help me..." he stammered, all his previous courage gone.
The other merchants were terrified at the sight. Some began screaming hysterically, while others collapsed to the ground, struggling to get up several times without success.
The octopus waved its tentacles nearby, saying, "Chirp chirp! (Come on everyone! They only look fierce!)"
Seeing all this, Gu Xi was even more disappointed, thinking to himself: With such little courage, he still wants to do business in the deep sea? How naive.
Ais controlled the ice skeletons to continue approaching the merchant, their chilling aura palpable.
The entire simulated battlefield was filled with screams, cries, and pleas for mercy, as fear swept over the area like a tidal wave.
This "experience" has only just begun.
An atmosphere of fear spread across the simulated battlefield, with merchants forced to retreat by the ice skeletons.
Suddenly, a young merchant stopped in his tracks, staring intently at the ice skull in front of him, his hands clenched into fists.
