Every day I'm on the verge of death

"Maybe we can choose to stay here for two days. I think the fish below is very friendly to us."

Tang Qiu looked calm and composed, watching Lu Jifeng's forehead twitch. He took a closer look and found that the lock was really completely blocked, and then sat down against the iron cage wall.

The fish at the bottom kept swimming there, the stench in the water made people dizzy, and they didn't know how the fish survived in such an environment.

The whole space was quiet except for the sound of water splashing. After sitting quietly for a while, I suddenly heard the sound of gentle footsteps at the door, followed by the creaking sound of the door opening.

"Are you awake? Don't be afraid~ This fish is not hungry yet. When he is hungry, you will die."

The village chief opened his eyes and spoke nervously, and kept throwing pieces of meat from unknown creatures into the pool, and the mermaid at the bottom quickly swallowed them when he threw them into the river.

"Don't blame me, who let you know that I am not a good person...you still follow me and leave."

There was a flickering smile on his face, all the pieces of meat in his hand had been dropped into the pool, and the mermaid at the bottom also calmed down and stopped swimming, wondering if they had sunk to the bottom, the water surface became very quiet.

With the abilities of Lu Jifeng and Tang Qiu, even if they work together, it is impossible to kill the leader of the mermaid. The village chief leaves Tang Wuyin and He Tong, who are obviously more capable, to look for him and Tang Qiu, who is obviously not strong enough. What can Lu Jifeng do? May not know he has a problem.

It was only at that time that he miscalculated the purpose of the village chief, which led to the current situation. Of course, if he had never done it before, maybe he would still make the same choice.

The village chief asked to kill the mermaid, no matter how you look at it, it is a task of the dungeon game. If the dungeon is completed by killing the mermaid leader, then he needs to confirm the feasibility and possibility of this matter.

"I just wanted to see what your purpose is, but I didn't expect you to want to feed me and Tang Qiu to the fish."

"Don't say it so harshly, I am dedicating you to our gods, you should be proud that you will enter the belly of the gods."

The village chief knelt on the bank and raised his hands up with a pious appearance. The original standard movements seemed to be inconsistent in such an environment.

The originally calm water surface under the water suddenly appeared a crazy whirling vortex, and the mermaid jumped out of the water with a plop. When it was about to bite the village chief, it was bounced back into the water by something like an air wall.

Lu Jifeng's eyes darkened. This is probably the so-called agreement. With this agreement, no matter the villagers who turned into mermaids or the leader of the mermaid in the pool, they have no way to hurt the fishermen who made an agreement with the mermaid. them.

"Your god doesn't seem to welcome you very much."

"Hahaha, so what, it can't do anything to me, can it?"

The village chief stood up, and he walked slowly around the edge of the entire pool. Mermaids at the bottom of the water bumped into him from time to time, but they never managed to touch the village chief. bounce back into the water.

The unique cry of the mermaid came from underwater. It floated on the water and no longer made any movements. It just stared at the village chief with a pair of fish eyes. A little blood flowed out of its head due to the impact. White Fang looked terrified.

The village head, who had stopped, had a distorted expression.

"The group of ignorant people above really think that raising this mermaid leader only needs to send a girl every few months?"

He pointed to the mermaid under the water, and said through gritted teeth: "It, this greedy mermaid, I give it a girl to eat every few months, and from time to time, I pick up some homeless people and abandoned babies from outside and give it to me." Feed it."

The village chief's face became ferocious, his eyes widened to the extreme, the corners of his eyes twitched with high frequency, and his mouth opened extremely wide.

"But it... but before the ceremony was completed, it actually ate my only son, hahaha... I'm tired and tired, I don't want to contribute to this village anymore, I don't want to be the village chief anymore..."

He excitedly walked to the place closest to the iron cage, with hope on his face: "As long as you kill it...kill it to avenge my son, I will let you go."

Lu Jifeng looked at the village head and said nothing. If he remembers correctly, the owner of the boat house once said that each of their households gave girls to the mermaid chief. Just bring it to death.

Before Lu Jifeng could speak, the village chief's face became crazy and vicious, and he started talking to himself again.

"It doesn't matter if you don't kill them. I will feed all the boys in the village to the fish. I can't make my son too lonely. You have to find a companion for him. You are the first to go down to accompany him."

Just as the village chief finished speaking, the underwater mermaid suddenly spoke. His voice was hoarse after he hadn't spoken for a long time.

"I was originally a mermaid in the deep sea, because I can attract fish to gather, you caught me back. Greed? I cursed these greedy humans, I turned into a mermaid when I met the water, and after turning into a mermaid, I will use treachery and cunning cannibalism. But I don't want to enjoy killing, I just want to be free."

The mermaid didn't intend to speak anymore, it can be seen that it hates humans.Originally lived in the vast expanse of the sea.Being locked up in such a dark place suddenly, anyone would resent him.

Lu Jifeng didn't know how ordinary fishermen caught this mermaid back, but from their words, it can be seen that because of their insatiable greed, the fishermen tried to reap the harvest without going to sea.

They imprisoned the captured merman in the underground pool, and the merman cast a curse that all the villagers who touched the water would become piranhas.

For those who survived, the village chief found a way to deal with it somehow.He sent the girl with the agreement medium to be eaten by the mermaids who hated humans, so that they would not be eaten by the villagers who turned into mermaids within a certain period of time.

"Shut up, you bloody stinky fish."

Although the village head was full of disgust, there was no surprise on his face that the mermaid could speak. The village head and the fishermen should have heard it speak, and it is even possible that the first sentence it said was that it just mentioned to the curse.

"So, do you want us to feed the fish, or do you want us to kill it?"

Lu Jifeng looked down at the village chief who was full of ferocious eyes, maybe they could escape from here without waiting for Tang Wuyin to rescue them.

"We have a way to kill it."

Because of Lu Jifeng's humble words, the mermaid roared angrily. Although the other party was angry, he did not attack the iron cage where he and Tang Qiu were. He looked at the mermaid circling impatiently in the water and had some guesses in his heart.

The village chief didn't answer, but he didn't move around any more. Instead, he stood there as if he was considering Lu Jifeng's proposal.

The mermaid floating on the water has sunk to the bottom. Lu Jifeng dared to say that there is a way to kill him in front of the mermaid. In fact, he wanted to prove one thing. He wanted to see what the village chief said. Can eat people is not true.

Obviously, the mermaid didn't do anything even though it was provoked. The village chief was right, the mermaid would not eat people when it was not hungry.

The village chief still didn't speak, Lu Jifeng knocked on the iron cage pole in front of him.

"How? Do you want to think about it?"

The village head, who had been acting neurotic since he entered the underground pool, had a rare expression on his face. He looked Lu Jifeng up and down for a while before hesitating to speak.

"Can you really kill it?"

"of course."

Lu Jifeng looked calm and relaxed, which was quite deceptive. He believed it to be true. The village chief felt something on the wall, and the iron cage was slowly pulled to the shore by the mechanism.

After taking out the key, the village chief fell into a frenzied roar at the small lock stuffed with broken needles.

"If you don't know how to pick the lock, don't open it! How can you let me release you now!"

Tang Qiu didn't seem to hear the village chief's words, and looked at the water and said nothing, Lu Jifeng was a little ashamed, he really forgot the little lock blocked by Tang Qiu just now.

"Otherwise, the village chief, go find and pull the saw away for us?"

The village chief walked to the edge of the wall with a dark face and pressed it again. Lu Jifeng and Tang Qiu were hung back to the center above the pool by the iron cage again.

"You guys just wait for me."

After speaking, the village chief opened the door and left. The sound of footsteps gradually faded away, and the mermaid who had been lowered by the village chief appeared again.

"I've seen you."

Of course they had seen it before, Tang Wuyin was almost eaten by it just the day before yesterday.

The last time I planned to save the girl, I didn't expect to kill the girl. If they didn't show up, maybe the girl could live for a few more days.Although in this kind of place, if there is no hope of life, living is also a kind of pain.

Lu Jifeng didn't know what to say about this matter, because he made a mistake in his judgment, and he always felt a little guilty in his heart for Tang Wuyin who almost lost his life.

"I lose my mind when I'm hungry, and that day I was hungry..."

Lu Jifeng probably understood that the mermaid was explaining its cannibalism to him, but he didn't quite understand why the mermaid had to explain it to him.Obviously, he just said that he wanted to kill it.

He looked down at the mermaid below, his eyes met, Lu Jifeng read the desire in its eyes, it was longing for freedom, it wanted to leave here.

"I want to leave here, but I can't be out of the water for a long time, please take me away."

Lu Jifeng has always been curious about the question of whether mermaids need water. Those villagers have become mermaids who can walk on land, and even don't need water at all.

"The villagers who turned into mermaids can leave the water, why can't you?"

As a purebred mermaid, it didn't seem to be surprising that he couldn't leave the water, but he still wanted to know the reason why those villagers could walk after turning into mermaids.

"Because, under the appearance of their mermaids, they are actually human beings. You can understand this curse as an illusion. I just magnified the evil in their hearts."

That is to say, everyone who sees them will think that those villagers have become mermaids, even they themselves will think so, but in fact they are still human beings.

Tang Qiu sat on the side as if thinking about what the mermaid said, and here Lu Jifeng roughly understood what the mermaid wanted to express.

"If the evil in their hearts is not aroused, even if they become mermaids, they will return to their original appearance."

Just like Tang Wuyin, although he became a mermaid, he didn't eat people in the end.

"Correct."

The mermaid flicked its tail on the bottom of the water, and there was a layer of ripples on the water surface. Lu Jifeng sighed. When people face maliciousness, they will always have a certain degree of evil thoughts. This is destined to make the villagers who become mermaids Become a piranha.
