Chapter 51 (Three in One)
Seeing their fellow players die tragically in front of them one after another, any normal person would go crazy, let alone these players whose super powers had disappeared.
For players, having special abilities also gives them a sense of superiority in the game. Now that the abilities are gone, they have also lost the ability to show off.
Tu Lu is a vivid example. Relying on his own abilities, he gathered other players and tried to fight the masked man head-on. However, the scene of the masked man tearing people apart with his bare hands scared the group of confident players.
Over the past few days, players have been taken away continuously, and the scenes of their bodies being broken into pieces when they returned have scared a group of people to the point of insanity.
Among the group of players, Wu Jian was the only one who remained relatively calm.
He was already an adult before he gained the ability to awaken, and his mind was no longer as strong as it was when he was a child before awakening.
Even though he has lost his ability now, he is very calm. The only drawback is that the space on the bracelet cannot be opened and the shiny things cannot be seen.
He Nuo had given him a sedative before, so he didn't crave for shiny things to the point of not being able to see shiny things. At most, he just regretted not being able to see shiny things.
The masked man hasn't come back in the past two days, which means they've run out of food.
Wu Jian looked at the food he had hidden, most of it eaten by bugs. His mouth watered at the sight of the black bread, but his mind told him that the bugs were teeming with bacteria, and the preserved food was no longer edible.
I can only turn my head away with reluctance.
The prison was divided into two halves, one half was used to store the players' bodies, and the other half became their temporary resting place.
There was a very unpleasant smell in the prison, which was the smell of rotting corpses.
Players in the prison will have a physiological reaction when they first smell the smell and will vomit continuously.
The smell was already bad enough, and with the other smells added to it, Wu Jian's nose was in great pain.
He sighed, leaned against the wall, looked at the small round hole above, and wondered if he could try to dig the small round hole a little bigger and then squeeze it out?
However, just as he thought of this, he heard the sound of the chain being dragged at the end.
Tu Lu and several other players huddled in the corner, their eyes filled with fear.
The masked man opened the iron gate and looked at the players in the prison, as if he was thinking about who to catch.
Just as his eyes met Tu Lu, Tu Lu retreated in panic and pulled Wu Jian out in a panic.
Wu Jian: ...No, how come you, a rabbit, are so strong?
The masked man looked at Wu Jian.
As the tall body was approaching Wu Jian, a figure blocked Wu Jian's way.
The stone man said, "If you want to catch me, he's just a cub."
Wu Jian couldn't help but sigh. The Stone Man was truly a saint. As players were taken away by the masked man one by one, he rushed out again and again, only to be ignored by the masked man.
When Wu Jian thought that the masked man would ignore the stone man again, he tied an iron chain around the stone man's neck and took Wu Jian and Tu Lu with him.
Wu Jian left the prison and saw the players in other cells. He looked at the masked man walking by with a look of fear in his eyes and kept backing away.
Like their prison, one corner was filled with broken bodies.
The masked man led them into a dark passage. After a while, a dazzling light came from the front.
As Wu Jian blocked the light with his hands, deafening cheers rang in his ears.
This was a huge arena. The stands were packed with people, and the cheers of the people almost overturned the entire arena.
At this time, a man in clown makeup held a megaphone and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, today's pet is quite special. You should have noticed it by now. Please welcome today's three protagonists."
All the lights shone on Wu Jian and the other two.
"The fun party has officially begun!"
The audience excitedly threw things onto the stage.
Wu Jian immediately noticed something that looked like a sparkling gem.
These people actually threw gems onto the field?
Wu Jian couldn't help but want to pick up the gems.
When a shrill scream sounded, a huge monster appeared opposite them, with countless spiky tentacles, fish tails, and human heads.
This monster seems to be a fusion of the characteristics of many creatures, which is daunting.
"Will our tentacle monster win, or will today's three pets win? Let's wait and see."
The moment the tentacle monster with white foam flowing from the corners of its mouth was released from the iron bars, it rushed straight towards the three people.
Wu Jian hadn't eaten for several days and his body was very weak. The monster's tentacles flicked lightly and threw him away.
Fortunately, the stone man blocked the monster, allowing Wu Jian to escape.
But the monster's impact still sent him flying, and he rolled several times in a panic. His dragon horn hit the wall, and a sound came from his body.
A stabbing pain.
Wu Jian grimaced in pain.
“Save me, save me!”
Tu Lu's feet were entangled by the tentacles, and sharp blades emerged from the suction cups of the tentacles, cutting a wound on his leg where the bones were visible.
Screams rang out, and the audience sitting above the venue became even more excited.
"Kill him, kill him!"
"A mutant beast, it deserves to die!"
"Hahaha, it would be better to cut his skin piece by piece, so that the pose would look better!"
When Wu Jian was briefly unconscious, he heard the audience's words. Although the words were full of blood and cruelty, their expressions were extremely excited.
I suddenly realized that this nameless port city might be more than what it seemed.
When the audience looked at the tentacle monster and Wu Jian and the other strange-looking players, they were neither shocked nor frightened, but rather extremely excited.
Wu Jian stood up and saw the stone man who went to rescue Tu Lu. When he was untying the tentacles on Tu Lu's feet, he was pushed by Tu Lu. At this moment, the monster's tentacles attacked again, and an unfathomable wound was cut on the stone man's face on the spot.
Wu Jian cursed inwardly, grabbed a handful of ash, and while approaching the monster, he threw a handful of ash at the monster's eyes, just saving the stone man once.
The monster covered its eyes and struggled and screamed.
The audience was dissatisfied and shouted angrily: "What? Cheating! How can there be a pet that can fly? Why not cut off its wings!"
Suddenly, the collar on Wu Jian's neck leaked bursts of electric current.
My whole body ached, especially my wings, as if they were being roasted on a bonfire.
The wings lost their ability to fly, and Wu Jian fell to the ground at this time, with a burnt smell coming from his body.
From the start of the StarCraft competition until now, I have hardly suffered any injuries, let alone such a torturous attack. The only time I felt pain was when I pulled out the Heart of the Sacred Tree.
Wu Jian's eyes were red. He touched his wings and saw black marks of burnt remains on the edges of the wings.
The wings can still fly, but the electric current from the collar makes the wings tremble.
The stone man hurried forward.
"Are you okay?"
Wu Jian sniffed and shook his head.
At this moment, a sharp sound was heard, and two tentacle monsters appeared in the iron bars again.
The stone man's face changed
"run!"
Without him saying anything, Wu Jian ran very fast.
, the tentacles couldn't catch up with him at all.
The audience was dissatisfied again.
"What? Running so fast? I want to see the tentacle monster tear this little cub into pieces."
"Haha, it seems that this businessman doesn't want to work in Wuming City anymore. He actually dared to deceive us."
The electric current in Wu Jian's collar poured out again, and the electric current almost made him lose his balance and was almost caught by the tentacles.
Wu Jian was numbed by the electric shock, and his hands and feet twitched uncontrollably.
He looked up at the fat businessman who was sitting not far away.
The businessman looked out at the venue and waved from the masked man in the corner.
The next second, more and more tentacle monsters rushed towards Wu Jian and the others.
Tu Lu, who ran slowly due to his leg injury, asked the stone man for help again.
The stone man looked back at him and struggled a little, but when the tentacle monster was about to arrive, he still chose to save him.
Wu Jian turned around and saw that Tu Lu's eyes were not right, so he quickly went to pull the stone man.
The tentacle monster behind him rushed towards him with a tentacle knife.
The stone man was nearly chopped off. Wu Jian endured the strong electric current stinging his wings and took the stone man flying. Tu Lu's plan to catch the stone man as a scapegoat failed. The next second, he himself was caught in the sickle vortex.
At this time, the collar on Wu Jian's neck tightened, and when the electric current poured out, he could smell the aroma of meat.
Wu Jian lost his balance for a moment and fell to the ground with the stone man.
Just as the collar flashed red, Wu Jian's body was covered by a green light.
At this time, the tentacle monster swallowed Wu Jian into its stomach. Cheers rang out at the scene, and only the stone man had a sad look in his eyes.
"Hahaha, he's finally dead. We won again. It's so boring, but so cool!"
"These monsters all deserve to be hanged. In their final moments, they provided us with a little interest, which made their trip worthwhile. Hahahaha."
"That's right. These monsters deserve to die."
"Everyone, why do I feel like there's something wrong with the tentacle monster?"
The tentacle monster that swallowed Wu Jian's belly bulged and grew bigger and bigger until it suddenly exploded.
hold head high!
A childish dragon roar sounded.
Wu Jian rushed out of the monster's belly and stopped in the air.
The audience was furious.
"What's going on? Merchant, kill him!"
The button in the fat man's hand was almost broken, but it had no effect on the little dragon cub.
Wu Jian will be caught in his claws
The collar was thrown into the audience.
"Is it fun?"
Wu Jian tilted his head and smiled innocently at everyone, "It's my turn now."
Fireballs came out of his mouth, and in front of everyone's eyes, the arena was burning.
The dragon's rage swept across the entire arena.
Everyone fled in all directions.
Wu Jian said to the stone man, "Run away!"
One man and one cub escaped from the arena.
After Wu Jian flew out of the nameless port, he dived into the sea.
The stone man quickly followed.
A minute later, the pursuers arrived at the port and instructed the ships to patrol the sea and catch any escaping pets.
Seeing that the group of people did not chase him, Wu Jian hid in the deep seabed, and the nearby sea urchins, shrimps and crabs suffered again.
After eating his fill, Wu Jian couldn't help but burp and lay down on a rock on the seabed to rest.
He touched his neck, the stinging pain still fresh in his mind. Fortunately, the Heart of the Sacred Tree had blessed him, saving his life at a crucial moment. The annoying collar had also fallen off at that moment, leading to the scene just now.
Wu Jian tried to enter the bracelet space to get the energy stone. This time he was not hindered and successfully got the energy stone.
He kissed the energy stone and rubbed it hard.
It’s this familiar feeling!
Wu Jian touched the angular energy stone and looked at the big stone man next to him.
"Why don't you leave?"
The stone man said to Wu Jian, "Thank you for saving me."
Wu Jian shook his head to indicate that it was nothing.
The stone man continued, "My name is Hao Shi, and I come from the Haoxing civilization."
"My name is..."
"Oh, I know your name. Tu Lu called you by your name before."
When mentioning Tu Lu, Hao Shi's face still looked grim.
After all, anyone who mentions someone who repays you with evil after you repeatedly saved his life will grit their teeth.
Wu Jian skipped the topic of Tu Lu and asked Hao Shi, "Where do you want to go next?"
Hao Shi touched the collar around his neck and said, "I still have to go back to Wuming City and get the controller from the merchant."
"It's dangerous to do that."
Hao Shi said: "It's even more dangerous to wear this collar. No one knows when it will explode."
Finally, Hao Shi said goodbye to Wu Jian and left the seabed.
After Hao Shi left, Wu Jian ate a lot of seafood again and waited until night to go to other places in Wuming City.
Of course he didn't want to leave, he just didn't want to act with Hao Shi.
Hao Shi saved me before, so I can’t just abandon him and run away alone, right?
Wouldn't it be better to just set a fire, cause chaos, and then take the opportunity to escape?
Once Hao Shi escapes, he is free to go wherever he wants.
After all, they had only been in prison together for a few days and didn't know what kind of person the other was.
Wu Jian didn't want to leave any trouble around him, so he had to go somewhere else to see if he could meet up with Tang Keke and Zhao Qing.
Wu Jian rested for a few hours on the seabed, making up for the sleep he hadn't gotten in the past few days. He surfaced and took a look at the port.
At this time, the port was dark and not as lively as it was during the day.
Wu Jian felt that the port was unusually quiet, so he simply chose to take a detour.
Walk from the beach to the village next to it.
Fortunately, the nameless city has more than one entrance, there are also many residential houses on the edge of the city, and you can enter from there.
Wu Jian moved to the residential area and saw the black cloth on the clothesline. He pulled it off and covered his face with it, leaving only a pair of big crimson eyes exposed.
With the black cloth wrapped around my body, I fit in better with the night.
Wu Jian stopped on the house and listened for a slight sound in the house. It was very small and not very clear.
He lay on the roof and listened carefully for a while, but still heard no sound, so he changed to another room.
This time there was sound, and it was a conversation between a man and a woman.
What interested Wu Jian most was what the woman said.
"We can't let our daughter go into the water again. If she's discovered by those priests in the city, our daughter..."
"Don't be afraid, at worst they'll fight!"
"Are you crazy? There's no way I'm going to let my daughter go into the water with you again."
"But where will we get the money for our son's marriage?"
"That pastor hates deformed monsters. I can't let my daughter become a monster again. The worst that can happen is that my son won't marry her!"
"You are the crazy one!"
Wu Jian was a little confused, but to sum up what the couple said, there was a group of priests living in the Nameless City who regarded people with deformed bodies as monsters.
This also explains why the audience regards players with strange appearances and physical abnormalities as monsters. It turns out that someone has distorted their aesthetic taste.
The Colosseum was most likely a place where spectators could vent their anger at deformed people.
Of course, this is just Wu Jian's guess.
To summarize the couple's words, are there also deformed people among the natives of the nameless city?
Wu Jian was very curious about the daughter the couple was talking about.
He quietly slid down from the roof and climbed in through the window.
The room was narrow and cramped, filled with all kinds of fishing nets and fishing tools. Wu Jian carefully avoided it, approached the room, and opened the door a crack.
Through the crack in the door, you can see two people lying on the bed inside the house.
Wu Jian closed it calmly and moved to the next room.
As soon as I opened the door of the room a crack, I heard a snoring sound. I knew it was a man. The person inside should be the couple's son.
Wu Jian closed the door again and walked to the back. There were no more rooms, but there was a corridor leading downstairs.
Walking down the stairs, you can hear the sound of splashing water and feel the cool breeze brushing across your face.
Snap!
Wu Jian stopped because there was a pool of green bubbles in front of him, and the splashing sound he had just heard came from there.
As we approached the pool, a black shadow jumped out of it and dived back into it.
If Wu Jian wasn't dazzled, the thing that just jumped out of the pond seemed to have a fish tail, right?
Seeing this, Wu Jian could only continue to move closer. At this moment, a pair of creatures with sharp black nails and fins on their wrists suddenly emerged from the water. When they were about to attack Wu Jian's eyes, they stopped.
A familiar face suddenly appeared in the pool.
"Sister Mermaid?"
The girl smiled at Wu Jian.
When he met an acquaintance, Wu Jian's nervousness eased.
"So this is your home."
As the girl moved towards the edge of the pool, she suddenly heard the sound of iron chains.
Looking more closely, it turned out that there was an iron chain tied around the girl's neck.
Wu Jian's smile faded. He looked at the chain around the girl's neck and frowned, "Who locked you up?"
The girl lowered her eyes.
Wu Jian opened his mouth and immediately recalled the conversation between the couple. Could it be that the girl's parents had locked her up? But why? She was clearly their daughter too.
Wu Jian flew into the pool and picked up the iron chain tied around the girl's neck. It was very heavy and thick. Just imagine how uncomfortable it must be to have such a heavy chain tied around the neck.
Suddenly I felt a little sorry for the young lady.
Wu Jian's relationship with women
The child said: "Do you need me to help you open it?"
The girl shook her head from Wu Jian, gestured with her fingers in the air, and babbled.
Wu Jian was stunned and asked in a difficult tone, "Can't you speak?"
The girl nodded.
I misunderstood the girl before. It’s not that she didn’t want to talk to me, but that she couldn’t talk at all.
"sorry."
The girl tilted her head, as if wondering why Wu Jian apologized to her.
Wu Jian asked again, "Are you hungry?"
He took out a bunch from the space in his bracelet and put them by the pool.
The girl's eyes lit up when she saw the food.
Wu Jian helped the girl peel a lot of sea urchins and piled them in front of her.
The girl ate voraciously, as if she hadn't eaten for a long time.
Wu Jian said, "Sister Jiaoren, eat slowly, there's more."
The girl ate a lot of food before stopping and imitating Wu Jian's action of rubbing his stomach after eating.
Wu Jian took the garbage with him and said to the girl, "Sister Jiaoren, I'm leaving now."
The girl babbled and tried to talk to him, but unfortunately she couldn't speak and could only use gestures with her hands, but Wu Jian couldn't understand.
She waved to Wu Jian to come closer.
When Wu Jian approached, she reached out and hugged the black cloth on Wu Jian's body to the dragon horn, trying to gesture with an anxious expression.
Wu Jian thought for a moment and asked, "Sister, are you trying to tell me to pay attention to the group of priests outside?"
The girl nodded vigorously.
Wu Jian recalled the girl's hesitant expression when he was leaving. It might have been to draw his attention to the people in the Nameless City. Unfortunately, he was so happy to have found land that he ignored the expression on the girl's face.
"Thank you, sister. I'll keep an eye on it." Wu Jian continued, "Did you see a man and a woman with shaved heads in the sea?"
The girl thought about it seriously and finally shook her head at Wu Jian.
Wu Jian said: "Thank you, sister. I'll leave first. I'll come see you when I have time."
Wu Jian went up from the basement, carefully avoiding the things in the room, and flew out of the house.
After throwing the garbage into the sea, he turned around and flew into the residential area, but found nothing.
Wu Jian thought about it and simply flew to the opposite side of the city.
This place doesn't look like a residential area. There is a very magnificent ancient building, which feels a bit like a Western church.
Wu Jian squatted at the highest point of the building and looked down
.
Behind the building is the ocean, and in the center of the ancient building there is a statue of a long-haired woman who is as beautiful as a fairy. Unfortunately, the statue of the beauty has no lower body.
Wu Jian had never seen a statue with only half a body carved, so he couldn't help but take another look.
Boom boom boom!
A deafening sound rang out close at hand.
Wu Jian looked in the direction of the sound and saw a large pendulum clock next to him. The sound came from the pendulum clock.
When the voice sounded, Wu Jian saw many people wearing masks and white clothes walking out of the building and out of the building gate.
Wu Jian quickly hid his body, hid in the corner, and watched the man in white leave.
Looking back, he saw the city, which had been pitch black, was now lit up with lights. Even from such a distance, he could still hear the clamor of the city.
Wu Jian saw people in white entering the city one after another.
Are these the priests that the mermaid sister’s parents mentioned?
Wu Jian saw the gate of the building below was about to close, and flew into the gate.
There are many statues in the building, none of which are as big as the one in the middle of the building. Most of them have normal human bodies, but all of them have no lower torso and have very rich expressions.
I saw almost a hundred statues along the way, but I still hadn't reached the statue yet.
Wu Jian simply flew up and flew towards the statue.
From the sky, you can see that the empty space is filled with densely packed statues.
After flying over the statue, Wu Jian came to a place similar to a cathedral, except that it enshrined a black creature with a fish tail.
Wu Jian approached the mural. If he guessed correctly, the thing on the mural looked a bit like a screaming fish.
It’s just that the screaming fish in the mural is more hideous and terrifying. Moreover, I have seen so many statues before that only have the upper body, so why is the screaming fish in the mural in the church more complete?
Just as he was about to get closer, he heard footsteps in the distance.
Seeing this, Wu Jian immediately flew behind the mural and hid.
squeak!
The church door was opened, and light came in, lengthening the figures.
Wu Jian caught a glimpse of a figure in the light. No, it didn't look like a person, but more like a fish's head.
He wasn't sure if he was seeing things, but the other party kept moving closer to the mural.
At this time, he was already spitting fireballs, but his feet
The footsteps seemed to have walked around the church and then left, closing the door.
Wu Jian breathed a sigh of relief.
He carefully came out from behind the mural. The church door was closed and there was no one around.
Wu Jian felt that he could not stay here any longer, so he moved his position.
There are many ancient churches, and the surrounding buildings are basically carved with the same screaming fish he had seen in the murals before, all of which are deformed and strange.
Wu Jian felt puzzled.
Why do the things in the murals all have healthy bodies, but people only have half a body?
What exactly do the priests in white clothes offer as sacrifices?
While Wu Jian was thinking, he stopped at a cliff.
There is no road ahead.
When Wu Jian was about to leave, he noticed something glowing on the cliff and bent down to pick it up.
A fish scale.
Why was Wu Jian so sure that it was a fish scale?
Because it has a strong fishy smell.
Wu Jian looked down the cliff and saw some scales on a groove below.
These fish scales are still fresh and should have fallen there not long ago. If he goes down now, he might even run into the owner of these fish scales.
Just in case, Wu Jian just glanced down. The cliff was very high, and it was dark, so the view was blurry. He saw something floating on the sea, which looked a bit like a drowning person.
What if it really is a person?
With this thought in mind, Wu Jian flew down the cliff and came to the floating object.
When he got closer, he realized that it was not a human, but a skeleton.
The skeleton only has the upper part of the body, and the body is also very strange, with the back of the skull growing into the shape of a fish fin.
That’s right, it’s the fish fin.
The mermaid sister also has a pair of fins behind her head.
Could this corpse actually be a mermaid? Where did its tail go?
Wu Jian carefully examined the lower half of the skeleton again. The lower part near the waist was cut off by a sharp blade. The tool that cut the bones must have been very sharp, otherwise the bones would not have been cut so smoothly.
Wu Jian sighed.
You were so miserable in life, and now you're floating in the water after death. I might as well take you to land and bury you.
Just as he bent down to pick up the bones, he found something else in the water!
Wu Jian plunged into the sea.
The moment I entered the water, I could see something under the water as the dim light shone through it.
Bones, layers of bones piled up.
Some of the bones have been corroded by marine plants over a long period of time, and only their rough appearance can be seen.
Wu Jian stared with wide eyes, looking at the layers of white bones, wondering how many people had died here.
And these bones are under the cliff behind the church, what an ironic scene.
Wu Jian just turned around and was met with a ferocious face, which almost sent him away.
This was a corpse, and the scales Wu Jian had picked up on the cliff just now were hers.
That’s right, she’s the one next to the girl.
The corpse in front of him was a female corpse, and the lower half of her body had also been cut off. There were many places near the waist where blue and black scales had grown, and her curves were very beautiful, but her face was blue and black and swollen, and her original appearance could not be seen.
Not far from the female corpse was a male corpse whose exterior had already decayed.
This place seemed like a place where corpses were dumped. The seawater gradually turned into corpse water, and the smell...
Wu Jian couldn't accept it and flew out of the sea. He lay on the ground and retched continuously.
After he finished vomiting, he left the cliff and sat on the roof, slowly thinking about what he had just seen.
About half an hour later, Wu Jian heard the sound of wheels rolling below and looked down.
A man in white clothes and a mask was pushing a small cart with blood oozing out of it.
The man pushed the car to the cliff and it fell down. Several bodies could be seen.
Wu Jian waited on the roof of the house for the man in white to return, and followed him.
Walking around the building with the statue, the man in white went downstairs, and a dark tunnel appeared in front of him.
Wu Jian continued to go deeper with the man in white, and many buildings began to appear.
The man in white opened the iron bars and continued to go deeper inside.
At this time, Wu Jian discovered that mottled marks began to appear on the surrounding walls.
He had spent several days in the merchant's prison, so he naturally knew what these traces were.
Halfway through the pursuit, he did not continue to follow the man in white, but went through another tunnel.
He just heard some noise in the tunnel and wanted to go over to see what was going on.
Just after turning a corner, Wu Jian found many small rooms in front of him and he couldn't see clearly what was inside.
Until he passed by a small room and heard a faint groaning sound, he looked around and saw that there was no one around, then he carefully
I opened the room carefully, and when I saw the person inside, I was stunned for a moment!
"Tang Keke!"
Wu Jian went in directly without caring whether there was any danger inside.
Tang Keke was trapped in a round glass column, soaked in a dark blue liquid. Her face was dark blue, and her brows were furrowed. No matter how much Wu Jian called out to her, there was no response.
As soon as Wu Jian turned around, he saw Zhao Qing inside the glass pillar on the right.
"Zhao Qing, Zhao Qing, can you hear me?"
Zhao Qing's face was equally pale, but he was able to respond a little when he heard Wu Jian's voice.
With Wu Jian's persistent efforts, Zhao Qing opened his eyes.
Wu Jian said happily: "Zhao Qing, can you hear me?"
Zhao Qing nodded slightly.
Wu Jian looked around and said, "Wait a minute, I'll find something to rescue you."
The space in the small room was very narrow and could only accommodate two thick glass pillars and nothing else.
Wu Jian didn't find anything, but at Zhao Qing's signal, he flew to the top of the pipe and found the mechanism.
The moment he pressed the mechanism, the glass tube opened and Zhao Qing fell out of the tube.
When Wu Jian saw his tail below the waist, he was stunned for a moment, but only for a moment. He quickly helped him lean against the wall and ran to open another glass tube to rescue Tang Keke.
Wu Jian took out two bottles of healing potion from the bracelet space and poured them into the two people's mouths.
He had, of course, redeemed his healing potions on a planet with a plant civilization. Chaos had even given him a discount, but each potion still cost a hundred star coins. He had also redeemed all his rewards from the previous game for star coins, but that still only gave him a hundred potions. Too expensive!
After taking the healing potion, Zhao Qing was able to speak with difficulty.
Wu Jian asked, "How did you two become like this?"
Zhao Qing said in a hoarse voice, "We were shipwrecked in the ocean and were picked up by a passing boat. The boat owner was very friendly to us. At that time, we thought we had met a kind person, until we entered the Nameless City and were forcibly taken to the church by the boat owner and handed over to a group of priests.
They are simply crazy!
We were drugged and put on the operating table, and that's when the fishtail was attached."
Wu Jian looked at the fish tails on the lower bodies of the two men and couldn't help but touch them, but was slapped in the face by the fish tail instead.
"It, it actually moves?"
Zhao Qing took a breath and said, "It's a part of my body now, of course it will move."
"Are they conducting human experiments?"
"Yes, many players were also caught and died due to failed experiments."
Wu Jian looked at Zhao Qing's fish tail and frowned, "The rules of the competition seem to say that it's unlucky for a mermaid to have a fish tail. What you're doing now..."
Zhao Qing smiled bitterly and said, "I'll probably be treated as a monster."
Wu Jian said, "I don't think it's safe here. Let's go out first."
Zhao Jian said, "Take Keke away first."
"No, if that group of people comes in and finds out one of you is missing, they'll definitely attack you. There has to be a way to get you two away."
Wu Jian was walking around the room when suddenly he moved his ears and heard footsteps outside.
"Someone's coming."
Zhao Qing said quickly: "Hurry up and take Keke away. I will hold them back."
Wu Jian observed the situation and said, "Don't worry, there must be a way."
When I looked up, I saw the vent above.
“There’s a way!”
The footsteps in the corridor were getting closer and closer. When they reached the room and opened the door, they saw a dark blue liquid flowing all over the floor, and the mermaid inside was gone.
"Oh no, someone come quickly!"
There were sharp whistles and the sound of many people running in the corridor.
Wu Jian lay on the vent and crawled inside with Zhao Qing and Tang Keke.
Wu Jian said proudly, "What do you think? My idea is good, isn't it?"
After Zhao Qing's legs turned into fish tails, crawling became difficult, especially the wound on his waist, which caused bursts of stinging pain.
"It's a good idea, but it takes too much time to fish."
Wu Jian smiled awkwardly, "It's a special period. Just wait until you crawl out. Look, Tang Keke didn't object."
"Little dragon, I'm just dizzy. There's no gah, and no ringing in my ears."
Wu Jian put Tang Keke down and said in surprise, "You're finally awake. I thought I was going to carry you through the entire pipeline."
Tang Keke smiled and said, "Thank you then."
Wu Jian said happily, "You're welcome."
Tang Keke looked around and said, "Where are we?"
Wu Jian took a breath and said, "On the way to escape."
Tang Keke: "It's a good thing you came to save us. If you had waited any longer, we would have been dead."
Wu Jian was stunned for two seconds and asked, "What do you mean?"
Tang Keke swallowed her breath and said, "I vaguely heard those people say that Zhao Qing and I were both failures, and that they would deal with us together after a while."
Zhao Qing asked in confusion: "Why didn't I hear it?"
