Tsing Yi heard that the sound was dead wood, and his heart suddenly palpitated.

After thinking and analyzing just now, the more Tsing Yi thought about it, the more she felt that Deadwood was extremely suspicious, but she never thought of what Deadwood's motive was for her disadvantage.

"It's safe here, Tsing Yi, come here." Seeing that Tsing Yi did not respond for a long time, Deadwood shouted again, "I have restrained that mermaid." ”

Her voice sounded calm.

Tsing Yi hesitated for a moment, but after biting it, he decided to observe it again. So she clenched the dagger and cautiously glanced down.

Deadwood showed half of his face from behind the rock erected in the water, and when he saw Tsing Yi looking at it, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the rock wall he had just climbed down and said, "You can climb down from there." ”

Tsing Yi nodded silently, then stood up and climbed the protrusion on the rock wall with some trepidation and slowly moved down.

The rock wall is wet, and the east and west are slippery moss, which makes people a little unable to grasp it. So Tsing Yi could only cling to those rounded or sharp protrusions, and kept using his feet to explore the places where he could step on them.

"It hurts—" A delicate woman's cry of pain suddenly rang out from the direction where the dead wood was.

The voice was too soft and innocent, Tsing Yi, who was already nervous and scared, suddenly panicked when she heard the sound, and then stepped into the air, and she fell off the rock wall at once.

"Ahh

Fortunately, the remaining height was only less than two feet away, and Tsing Yi landed on his hips again, although his body almost fell apart during the landing, but he did not hurt his muscles and bones.

"Tsing Yi, are you okay?" Deadwood asked in a worried voice, "But where did you get hurt?" ”

"It's okay-" Tsing Yi gasped and barely stood up, only to feel that her hands and feet were scorching pain, and when she had recovered her strength, she gritted her teeth and held back the pain, and then limped towards the rock where the dead wood was.

When he got closer, Tsing Yi saw that the dead wood was stepping on a white fish with his feet.

The white fish was a little different from the belly-turned white fish on the other side, it had pure white hair, and its body was larger and longer than the other white fish, and its two forelimbs hanging weakly at its side were half-soaked in the river, but there was no difference.

It's just that its appearance at this time looks very miserable, and the long fat round fishtail is almost a blur of flesh and blood, as if it has just rolled over the knife mountain.

It still had some breath, and it looked like its tattered body was rising and falling slightly with its breathing, and through those finger-wide wounds, Tsing Yi could see that the pink and white tender flesh at the wound was trembling slightly, slowly growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The wound on the fish's tail slowly became shallower, and the surface of the wound that healed faster even appeared with new white scales.

The feeling of wound healing was very unbearable, and the white fish, which was originally angry, twitched from time to time, and then was pressed down by the foot on its back.

What's going on? Tsing Yi, who had never seen such a scene, covered his mouth in surprise, so he didn't scream.

Deadwood stepped on the white fish as he pulled out the ebony box from his arms. She opened the ebony box carefully and looked at it, and then said thoughtfully to Tsing Yi: "Tsing Yi, you see, this is a mermaid." ”

Before Tsing Yi could react, she leaned over to the mermaid under her feet, and used the sharp willow leaf knife to quickly cut off a palm-sized piece of pink and white fish meat from the tail full of wounds.

The mermaid raised her head in pain and screamed silently, and twitched her tail twice fiercely.

"Master, you-" Tsing Yi didn't expect the dead wood to be so ruthless, and he actually cut the flesh on the mermaid alive.

The mermaid tilted her head to reveal a face that was almost identical to that of a mortal.

It was an extremely harmless face, delicate and delicate, with a pitiful look of pain, frowning eyebrows, crimson eyes, and long eyelashes trembling, which would really make the person who saw it unbearable.

The dead wood holding the mermaid's flesh in his hand showed a grim smile to the mermaid under his feet.

"Tsing Yi, do you think she is pitiful?" Deadwood seemed to see the unbearable feeling in Tsing Yi's heart, and immediately stared at the fishtail of the mermaid under his feet and sneered, "People who see mermaids for the first time are often deceived by their kind appearance and kind behavior, but they don't know that their fundamental purpose is to trick them into eating mermaid meat, and then turn them into their own kind." Their wickedness stems from their innate instincts, and every drop of their blood, every piece of flesh, and every bone is the elixir that the world dreams of. It's just that no one knows that this immortal mermaid meat is often highly poisonous to most mortals...... Mermaids, evil monsters, shouldn't have survived in this world in the first place, and I'm going to spend my whole life trying to exterminate them! ”

Hearing this, Tsing Yi only felt a cold sweat on his back, and his palms that were unconsciously clenched were poked by his nails.

Before, I vaguely felt that Master Deadwood did not have the compassion of a monk at all, but now that he looks at it, he is more ruthless than ordinary monsters.

So she lost more and more trust in Deadwood, and her suspicion of Deadwood was only five points, but now she was aroused by fear, and it increased to eight points in vain.

"Huh? Tsing Yi, you're injured! Deadwood was delicate, just glanced at Tsing Yi, and was immediately a little surprised to find that between Tsing Yi's tightly held fingers, a few wisps of blood oozed out, she looked up at Tsing Yi's pale and forbearant face, and said after a while, "Your blood is the most attractive monster, I wanted to ask you to borrow some blood for me as bait later, but you were injured and bleeding at this time, which is really not good." The merfolk nearby followed the blood qi, and they were afraid that they would gather in a swarm after a while. Although I am good at catching murder fish, if I am unprepared, I will not be able to defeat four hands with two fists, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect ......you at that time."

Before the dead wood could finish speaking, the mermaid who had just been cut off suddenly raised his face and wailed at Tsing Yi: "Help me-save me-it hurts-ah-"

The expression on the dead wood's face suddenly turned cold, and his feet crushed the mermaid's back desperately, and the mermaid screamed, and then collapsed there weakly, not moving.

Tsing Yi's face suddenly turned two points whiter.

Deadwood stopped the mermaid under his feet, then looked up at the large circle of rocks, and said thoughtfully: "Tsing Yi, can you please do me another favor?" ”

"What's the busy?" Tsing Yi felt that her voice seemed to tremble a little.

"Look there." Deadwood pointed to the circle and said seriously, "Mermaids have always had a habit of collecting the bones of their companions and stacking them in one place. Over time, the corpses would decay and liquefy, turning into mermaid poison that could kill them. You've seen the blood in advance, and the other merfolk will be back soon. If we have mermaid venom, we can get out of it. ”

As she spoke, she handed the piece of mermaid meat and the ebony box in her hand to Tsing Yi, and advised: "You can use this ebony box to contain some mermaid poison, you can take this piece of mermaid meat with you first, if you accidentally get mermaid poison, you can also eat it and detoxify it in time." ”

Tsing Yi's face tensed, silently reached out to take the mermaid meat and the ebony box, and walked to the bottom of the circle surrounded by rocks.

Tsing Yi casually stuffed the mermaid meat that was said to be highly poisonous into his sleeve, took a few deep breaths, and finally tentatively reached out and touched the rock wall, the moss-covered rock was very slippery, and there was no place to climb it.

She fumbled up and down, then quietly turned her head to look at the deadwood, only to see the deadwood grab the mermaid's long hair and lift the mermaid's head, and was bending close to her ear, not knowing what he was saying.

When the mermaid heard this, she immediately began to struggle violently again.

The surface of the water was filled with dead white fish corpses, which rose and fell under the impetus of the waves.

These white fish are probably all killed by the Deadwood Master, right? At that moment, she clearly heard the sound of an unidentified object falling into the water.

Deadwood, who had become extremely ferocious since she saw the mermaid, seemed to be a little displeased by the mermaid's struggle, so she cut a few more wounds on the mermaid's tail with a lancet knife, and tended to beckon her back.

Tsing Yi didn't dare to look at it anymore, she had confirmed that the dead wood must have been premeditated, and in order to lure the mermaid out, she did not hesitate to use her as bait.

She hates mermaids so much, and knows mermaids and mermaid poison so well, so the people who poisoned mermaids to herself before are afraid that there is no one else except her.

Tsing Yi didn't dare to stay by the dead wood anymore. Since all the white fish in this cave have died, and it will take a long time for the other mermaids to come back, it is better to take the opportunity to escape! At that time, Master Gao also fell into the water, maybe he would stay somewhere in the cave at this time, if he could be found, he could be saved.

Tsing Yi, who secretly decided to escape from the Deadwood Master, quietly moved to the direction that the Deadwood couldn't see while the Deadwood was torturing the mermaid, and at the same time eagerly observed the surrounding environment.

The surrounding area is water except for the rocks, and there is only a narrow passage in the left cave wall.

The passage followed the cave wall straight into the depths of the cave, and Tsing Yi guessed that the end might be an exit, because she saw an extremely bright light coming through the end.

The merfolk's screams grew weaker, and it looked like the torture was nearing its end. So she didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately walked carefully to the surrounding rocks towards the passage.

The entrance to the passage was low, the river was as high as her calf, and Tsing Yi was dripping with water, struggling to move forward, she was so nervous that her heart was beating like a drum, and she was afraid that the sound of the water under her feet would be too loud and would attract the attention of the deadwood master.

When Tsing Yi finally walked into the passage, the long-waiting dead wood found that she was gone.

"Tsing Yi - Tsing Yi - "

The anxious shouts of the Deadwood Master kept coming from behind him, and Tsing Yi, who heard the shouts, suddenly began to run in a panic.

The sound of the water under her feet, mixed with her heavy panting, echoed repeatedly in the narrow passage, which was particularly terrifying.

"Tsing Yi - Tsing Yi you come back quickly - mermaid - there - "

The frightened Tsing Yi could only cover his ears and rush forward desperately, the sound of the dead wood became more and more indistinct, and the bright light in front of him began to slowly become louder.

Hold on a little longer! The exit is just around the corner!
