Chapter 19 How Does He Know My Name
As the night deepened, the temperature on the top of the mountain began to drop gradually, and the wind blowing from the sea became stronger, but there was still no sound of the wind.
Xie Liang looked at the few descenders on the altar from afar and said worriedly, "It's so cold, and they're not wearing anything. I wonder how long they can hold on."
Shi Xiaoyin shook himself, hugged his arms and rubbed them up and down, saying, "They have a high fever, so it's okay if they're cold, but if we delay any longer, we'll really be wiped out."
"Do you know? Every time after returning from a copy, the difficulty of the next copy will be upgraded. Compared with my previous copy, the difficulty of this copy has increased by more than 70% or 80%. I originally thought that this copy would not be too difficult, but I didn't expect..." Shi Xiaoyin's voice was listless, and she didn't say anything else.
"I don't know..., then what? What didn't you expect?" Xie Liang heard his voice trembling a little because of the cold weather.
Shi Xiaoyin didn't say anything, but looked at him speechlessly.
Xie Liang clutched his growling stomach. "So, I'll be transported to different little worlds endlessly. If that happens, I won't even have to find a job. I'll just have to live as long as I can."
"It's not endless. Every time you pass a dungeon, the vortex in your heart will disappear by one. Once the last one disappears, you can return to normal life."
Xie Liang: "Uh..., it's definitely true that every time I'm in danger of death, just like now I don't know if I can make it back alive."
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the sky was covered with thick black clouds, as if a hurricane and rainstorm were about to come.
At this moment, the group of sailors in the distance suddenly peeled off their human skin and turned back into their original mermaid appearance. They circled around the campfire, just like the people dancing around the flames at a campfire party.
"I remember the witch said before, 'At dawn, we will be married for seven days.' We don't have much time left. We must complete the task before dawn." Xie Liang said.
Shi Xiaoyin looked at her watch and said, "The sun usually comes out at six o'clock, right? It's only four hours until six in the morning."
Xie Liang frowned and thought for a moment: "The dawn she mentioned should not be six o'clock, but when the sky is about to get bright."
The wind blew faster and faster, like a knife, scraping painfully on people's faces, but no sound could be heard.
This sea and this island were eerily quiet. There were only the two of them and the sounds of the mermaids' movements. There was no sound of nature at all - such as the sound of waves, wind, birdsong, or insects.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew around Xie Liang. He lost his balance and was about to hit the sharp rocks beside him, but the wind was like a pair of hands around his waist to support him. Xie Liang used the wind to steady his center of gravity and finally managed to stand firm.
After a while, the wind blew back, as if someone was controlling it, blowing Xie Liang towards the altar. Xie Liang's feet had been blown off the ground, and his hands were tightly grasping the large stone next to him.
"There's something wrong with this wind! I can't catch it anymore!" Xie Liang said anxiously.
"Don't worry, I will act according to the situation!" As he said this, Shi Xiaoyin touched the whip at his waist, his expression serious and full of fighting spirit.
"Can you beat them with this whip?"
"I don't know, but it's very convenient for beating people." She brought it out from the previous copy.
At the same time, the mermaids dancing around the campfire stopped at some point and were rushing towards Xie Liang.
Xie Liang was hungry and cold. He gritted his teeth and said, "I can't hold on any longer... You should hide first... Don't let them find you..." After saying that, Xie Liang let go of the big rock with his hands.
The strange wind blew Xie Liang gradually towards the stone platform where the blue long gown was placed. After a while, the wind carried him to stand on the stone platform.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and on the dome there was a tornado-shaped black vortex that kept spinning back and forth, as if it was going to swallow up everything on the island.
Seeing this, the sea monsters all knelt on the ground. Above the altar, wind and clouds surged, as if something was about to emerge from the tornado-like black vortex.
The wind around us was getting stronger and stronger, and the flying sand and rocks made it impossible to open our eyes.
A gust of wind blew up the blue gown, and then the wind seemed to be possessed, blowing the gown around Xie Liang in circles.
Dawn was about to break, and the wind was getting stronger, even able to blow away palm-sized stones.
Xie Liang was in a state of panic, feeling that he was going to die this time. The long gown was still spinning back and forth in front of him. He reached out and grabbed the gown in frustration and pulled it down.
At this moment, a mysterious force emanated from Xie Liang's fingertips.
"Dong~" A deep and melodious bell rang out. The sounds of the waves, the wind, the birds singing... all the sounds of nature reappeared at this moment.
The door opened, and Xie Liang excitedly threw the long gown in his hand onto the stone platform. He gathered his strength and turned over to get off the stone platform.
The mermaids cheered and danced with joy. The incomplete skin on their bodies was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Soon they all ran towards the bottom of the island.
Several of the Adventers lying on the flat stone not far away also slowly opened their eyes. They were using their hands to support themselves on the flat stone and slowly standing up.
Just as Xie Liangdong was looking around for the location where the vortex gate appeared, a man in crescent-white clothes suddenly appeared in front of him like a flash, holding the blue-green robe he had just thrown away in his hand.
The man was over 1.8 meters tall, with a handsome face, and was looking at him with his lips slightly pursed.
Suddenly, a living person appeared in front of him. Xie Liang was stunned: Is he that boy? Is it my illusion? Why does he look so aggrieved?
Seeing Xie Liang standing there motionless, the man reached out and touched Xie Liang's chin.
Xie Liang: "Uh...?"
The man didn't say anything, but his gaze gradually became more aggressive as he looked at him, making him feel very uncomfortable.
Xie Liang: "Uh... well, could you please stop looking at me like that?"
The man pursed his lips again and looked at him with a wronged expression.
Xie Liang felt the atmosphere was awkward, so he decided to quickly find the door and run away. He began to look around.
When he saw a large stone standing not far to the left, his eyes paused - the door was behind the stone.
Shi Xiaoyin was helping the weak descenders into the house. She saw Xie Liang at this time and made a look at him, as if she wanted him to delay some time.
Xie Liang's mind was in a mess. He reached out and grabbed the man's shoulders: "Do I look good?"
The man's shoulders trembled slightly: "Xiaoliang..."
Weird, how did he know her name? Xie Liang didn't have time to think about it, so he asked stubbornly, "Do you like me?"
At this time, Shi Xiaoyin had already sent the remaining descenders into the vortex gate. She hid behind the big rock and urged Xie Liang with her eyes to find a way to escape quickly.
