Bai Xing and Yu Chuan returned to the fishing village safely. This time they sensed the breath of the mermaid's heart. Last time, the big fish only appeared in the waters under their boat, but did not attack them.
Back at the fishing village, Bai Xing's eyes narrowed slightly. She glanced at Yu Chuan calmly and found that he was also extremely shocked.
The bustling and populated village before has disappeared. Now all that can be seen are dilapidated houses. Villagers walk out of the houses, their bodies covered with rotting flesh. The familiar fishy smell wafts in, and without the hypnotic illusion, the smell is simply impossible to ignore.
The players also stood with the villagers and looked at them. Bai Xing and Yu Chuan looked at each other, took out the antidote they had prepared earlier, and quickly forced a bottle into each of them.
The players who drank the medicine suddenly fell to the ground with stomachaches. Their mouths were open in pain, and they wanted to call for help but could not make any sound due to the pain. Fat, black, soft-shelled insects kept crawling out of their mouths. Every time one crawled out, Bai Xing and Yu Chuan cut it one by one like cutting fruit.
Later, more and more of them came, and Bai Xing was able to keep up with the help of her spiritual brain. Yu Chuan's defense had already been broken, so he simply started using his feet, killing one of them with one kick.
After struggling for a long time, they finally killed all the bugs. When they looked up, they saw that some players who had vomited bugs earlier had regained their consciousness and were watching them killing bugs in horror. Seeing that they had seen it, they couldn't help but shrink back.
Bai Xing: "..."
Yu Chuan: “…”
"Listen to our excuses, no, explain." Yu Chuan was a little overwhelmed.
When the player saw his irritable look, his eyes became even more terrified.
Yu Chuan turned around to look for Bai Xing, but suddenly found that she had disappeared without a trace.
"?"
After the illusion was broken, the village had returned to its true appearance. She could see the thriving maple tree from afar, which looked like a red cloud, burning brightly and brightly.
It turns out that what players see at night is not an illusion, but a real village, while what they see during the day is a luxurious performance carefully maintained by the Ama.
The players had just regained their sanity, and many could not accept the reality. After experiencing rounds of monsters and parasites at night, only one thought remained in their brains: the sacrifice must be completed.
Even if they wake up now, it is difficult to change this idea that has been almost instilled and rooted in their subconscious. They even think that as long as they can maintain the plot to the end, they will pass.
But their dreams were ruthlessly shattered by Bai Xing and Yu Chuan. The success of the sacrifice ceremony was the death condition of the copy.
Bai Xing stroked the trunk of the blood maple tree and fell silent. The story had already appeared before her eyes:
Humans hunted and slaughtered the descendants of the Sea God, then skinned them to make fish-skin clothing. The Sea God was enraged and sent disasters down from the heavens. Fearing this unnatural, irresistible force, the humans sought out the most beautiful woman and presented her to the Sea God, praying for his wrath to be appeased.
They dug out the woman's slender white human legs, sewed a fish tail to her, cut out her spine and replaced it with whale bones. Her blood color was gone, and she was painted with bright red rouge, dressed in a wedding dress made by a bridesmaid, and sat in a wedding sedan.
There were five black and cold bone-piercing nails in the wedding sedan, which pierced the woman's scapula, hands and tail, nailing her tightly to the seat in the sedan. The woman held the mermaid pearl in her mouth and watched herself sinking into the dark sea in despair.
Her overwhelming resentment attracted the attention of the evil god, who gave her strength and allowed her to devour the sea god. He also granted her evil powers. The woman laid fish eggs that parasitized an entire village. She controlled everyone in the village, hunted players for the evil god, and provided him with power.
And now, perhaps she is tired of this kind of life, or perhaps she is ambitious and wants to see a bigger world.
The danger of releasing such a person can be imagined, but Bai Xing has no other choice. If she doesn't let him go, she will die.
She took out the heart, which was beating slightly. The moment she took out the heart, the "blood vessels" in the blood maple body instantly became excited, and the flow speed increased visibly. A tree root couldn't wait to break out of the ground, took away the heart, and retracted into the ground.
"Bang bang"
"Bang bang"
"Bang bang"
A huge heartbeat sounded in Bai Xing's ears. She gently stroked Xue Feng. Xue Feng seemed to be in pain. The color in his blood vessels kept flowing, sometimes black and blue, sometimes red.
But the red color was getting weaker and weaker, and the black and blue battle was getting stronger and stronger. Bai Xing lowered her eyes, and when she turned her palm, a handful of herbs appeared in her palm. It was the "antidote" she had picked on the island before.
She threw the antidote on the ground and it was quickly absorbed by the blood maple. The blood maple seemed to become stronger, the red in the blood vessels gradually became stronger, and the blue and black became less and less. As the last handful of herbs was thrown away, the blue and black were finally expelled.
The blood maple tree became taller and straighter, and seemed to have undergone some mutations.

[Do you want to bind the servant? (The servant will regularly produce some props, materials, etc.)]
[Remaining servant positions: 3]
Bai Xing raised her eyebrows in surprise and decisively chose to bind. In just one breath, she felt a connection with the maple tree in front of her.
This feeling was very unreal. She was communicating with Xue Feng in her mind. The newly-adult Xue Feng was not very good at speaking yet. It might also be that he had just started communicating with humans like Bai Xing and was not very proficient in the business.
Xue Feng's consciousness vaguely came to my mind, and like a babbling child, I vaguely felt his kiss.
