When Xie Qi said that, especially when he mentioned those two terrifying words - "dead people", everyone present couldn't help but feel a chill rising from their spines, and a creepy feeling instantly spread.
The originally delicate female guests were frightened to the point of losing their color. Some even unconsciously leaned towards their companions, trying to seek a sense of security.
Ye Han looked at Xie Qi with a look of reproach on his face and complained, "Why are you saying such unlucky things so late at night? Seriously!"
However, after hearing Xie Qi's words, the mayor's face turned pale, and a barely perceptible trace of guilt flashed in his eyes.
But he quickly forced himself to calm down, his eyes wide open, and he refuted righteously: "Little kid, please don't talk nonsense! How could I lie to you?"
Xie Qi glanced around at the people around him, first looking at the director and his companions, who shared a look of shock. After a moment's hesitation, Xie Qi decided to remain silent for now, lest his words keep everyone awake tonight.
So, he said lightly: "I was just joking, don't take it seriously, continue." Then he turned his head and ignored the mayor with a strange look on his face.
As for the mayor, he gradually restrained himself due to Xie Qi's words and no longer dared to speak carelessly as before.
At this moment, Xiao Ziran, who had been in a trance, finally came back to his senses. He patted his chest with lingering fear and said to Xie Qi, "Brother, you're joking too much. To be honest, this desolate mountain is a bit scary."
As Xiao Ziran spoke, he reached into his collar and took out a pendant from his neck. The pendant was tied with a red string and lay quietly in his palm.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ziran clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, muttered something, and began to worship.
When Xie Qi saw the object in Xiao Ziran's hand, he asked, "What are you holding?"
Hearing Xie Qi's question, Xiao Ziran opened his eyes, quickly opened his hands, and handed the pendant in his palm to Xie Qi, saying, "Look at it, isn't it very beautiful! It sparkles all over! Lu Chenzhan gave it to me. He said it can be used for blessings and life-saving. It works!"
Hearing this, Xie Qi's eyes fell on the pendant in Xiao Ziran's hand. He took a closer look and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Because this so-called pendant turned out to be an extremely hard scale. Under the light, the scale shimmered with colorful light, and the lines on its surface were as natural and smooth as flowing water. It was truly beautiful and amazing.
However, after looking more closely, Xie Qi soon discovered that this scale was a little different. If he guessed correctly, this should not be an ordinary fish scale, but the heart-protecting scale on Lu Chenzhan's body.
The heart-protecting scale is embedded above the mermaid's heart. It is composed of three layers of mysterious structures interwoven together. It is as hard as a rock and strictly guards the mermaid's fragile heart from any possible harm.
You know, if someone else is lucky enough to obtain even just one heart-protecting scale, it would be equivalent to having an invincible golden medal of immunity from death.
This is a rare treasure that all monsters in the monster world dream of and want to obtain at all costs. Moreover, Lu Chenzhan is the Mermaid Monster King, and his heart-protecting scale is even more precious.
However, what Xie Qi did not expect was that Lu Chenzhan was so generous as to give his extremely precious heart-protecting scale to Xiao Ziran.
