Chapter 99

Xiao Tangqiu clenched the dagger in his hand. The unique hardness and coldness of the metal gave him his only comfort. Although his tasteless ability was not so tasteless for the first time, he knew that he was far from being able to breathe a sigh of relief while in desperate straits. The weapon was in hand, but the enemy has not been resolved yet.

Although he would like to go full out and slaughter everything on the scene, he understood that this was impossible. If there was such an invincible bug, according to the law of conservation of European aura, he was afraid that an African like him would have to die to use it.

Enemies all around, danger follows life.

Xiao Tangqiu vigilantly looked at the “mermaids” who were staring at them, took a deep breath, and charged with his dagger.

He first attacked the “one-eyed” he had stabbed the silver fork. This was not only because the monster was blinded by him in one eye, but also because he guessed that it would be the first to climb onto the deck. Perhaps it had high status in its ethnic group and had the right to enjoy food first. To catch the bandits, one must first capture the king.

Although the monster was blinded in one eye, its speed was still extremely fast. It relied on its sharp claws to skid quickly over the deck. A single claw would scratch large holes into the deck, and it had extremely powerful physical attacks.

Xiao Tangqiu also received a few large and bloody scratch wounds, but the mermaid skull dagger in his hand also scratched the monster, scraping off countless silver scales.

The monster screamed in pain and became more ferocious. While attacking Xiao Tangqiu viciously, it also used an unknown part to create an ethereal singing voice, apparently trying to control Xiao Tangqiu’s body again.

But this time, Xiao Tangqiu was only in a trance for a few seconds, and soon sobered up. The singing seemed to have no effect on him. He had no time to celebrate and clenched the dagger and slammed it into the monster’s chest.

The monster was not afraid, its scales were indestructible, after all. It continued to attack Xiao Tangqiu with its claws, but in the next second, it was pierced in the chest by the dagger.

A sharp pain came, and it looked down incredulously to see that there were no scales in the place where Xiao Tangqiu’s dagger pierced.

Xiao Tangqiu had never killed a fish, but he had observed how the market aunties killed and gutted fish and scraped the scales. So earlier, he tried his best to scrape the scales off the monster’s chest, and then successfully stabbed the dagger through the monster’s chest. But it’s far from over.

Seeing the monsters around him staring at him, he wanted to quickly pull out the dagger. But the monster instinctively grabbed the dagger. The two of them fought in a separatist battle, and instead pierced the dagger deeper and deeper.

At this moment, a thought flashed through Xiao Tangqiu’s mind. Why was it that nobody else had noticed anything at all despite them making such a big noise on the deck? Other than him and the coward, didn’t anyone else hear the singing of the mermaid?

This was impossible!

Even if other people didn’t hear these movements, what about Shen Yuan?

Why was there no response from Shen Yuan?

When these thoughts flashed like sparks, Xiao Tangqiu suddenly felt that the image in front of him began to distort and the monster’s movements also stopped. He unthinkingly pulled out the dagger and brought out a gush of blood. At the same time, something fell to the ground with a clatter and rolled to the side.

Xiao Tangqiu was about to reach out to pick up the thing. But the images in front of him gradually collapsed and disappeared, as if he had stepped into the void, and his consciousness began to float and sink in the dark.

At this moment, there was a string of calls in his ears.

“Xiao Tangqiu!”

“Xiao Tangqiu!”

“Jiujiu!”

Xiao Tangqiu woke up with a start, opening his eyes to meet Shen Yuan’s dark eyes.

Shen Yuan’s gaze was heavy, as if a storm was brewing. It wasn’t until Xiao Tangqiu woke up that the storm disappeared instantly, and then he frowned deeply, “Did you have a nightmare? What did you dream about?”

Xiao Tangqiu didn’t react at first. Dream? What dream?

It wasn’t until he discovered that he was still lying on the bed in the room that he came back to his senses. Could it be that he had been dreaming just now?

But Xiao Tangqiu looked down and saw that his body was covered with large and small scars. It was clearly the wounds he got when he was fighting with the mermaid. How could there be scars from his dreams?

He suddenly remembered something and immediately asked Shen Yuan, “Dagger! Did you see the dagger in my hand?”

Shen Yuan frowned, “Dagger? Didn’t I give you a crossbow?”

No dagger?!

Xiao Tangqiu’s heart thudded. Was he really just having a nightmare earlier?

“Deck… I want to go to the deck to see!”

As soon as his voice fell, he jumped off the bed and ran towards the deck.

Shen Yuan frowned and ran after him.

Xiao Tangqiu ran all the way to the deck as the horizon gradually turned white. It was about to dawn, the night had passed.

He ran to the place where he was fighting with the mermaid just now, but there were no mermaids at all. Just when he started suspecting that all that was just a dream, he suddenly saw something in a corner…

He walked towards the corner and found the remains of the coward.

The coward was dead, his body was mutilated, leaving only some bones.

“He’s dead, he’s really dead…” Xiao Tangqiu murmured.

Shen Yuan followed and he frowned, seemingly confused.

Xiao Tangqiu firmly said, “It’s not a dream. It’s definitely not a dream.”

Xiao Tangqiu suddenly noticed something gleaming next to the coward’s corpse. He squatted down and picked it up. It was a silver fish scale.

“It’s not a dream…”

He became more sure of this, and when he was about to stand up, he discovered that the corpse seemed to be holding something in his hand.

He paused for a moment, broke the corpse’s hold, and a shiny object rolled out. It was the thing that had fallen from the mermaid’s chest.

Xiao Tangqiu picked it up and saw that it was a silver key.

Shen Yuan frowned, “The key? Key to where?”

Xiao Tangqiu also wanted to know, he guessed, “Is it the key to a secret room on the ship?”

Shen Yuan shook his head, also unclear.

Xiao Tangqiu hesitated for a moment, and couldn’t help but ask Shen Yuan, “I want to know that some players can unlock things or have special items for unlocking. Can they open all the locks in instances? If not, under what circumstances can they? If Duan Hongzhen can open any lock, why do we still need a key?”

Shen Yuan said lightly, “If the plot requires you to find a key to unlock, you must find the key.”

The corner of Xiao Tangqiu’s mouth twitched. The plot again. This reason was too strong.

At this moment, someone came to the deck again. As soon as Tang Mianmian saw Xiao Tangqiu, he greeted loudly, “Qiuqiu! How did you sleep yesterday?”

Before Xiao Tangqiu could answer, Tang Mianmian also saw the coward’s body and cried out again, “He’s dead?”

Others gradually gathered around, and they also saw the body of the coward, but they were not very surprised.

Xiao Tangqiu hesitated and asked if they had any dreams last night.

“Dream?” Tang Mianmian blinked, “I dreamt yesterday that I finally received a scene with a male protagonist with lines and became a popular star and reached the pinnacle of life!”

Except for him, everyone else shook their heads, indicating that they didn’t dream.

Xiao Tangqiu froze for a moment. Could it be that only he heard the mermaid singing… No, besides him, there was that coward.

And that coward was dead now.

“Qiuqiu! Why are you injured!” Tang Mianmian realized that Xiao Tangqiu was injured and immediately yelled.

Xiao Tangqiu told the nightmare with a wry smile. If he didn’t get the mermaid skull dagger, he might have died in the dream like that coward.

“The singing of a mermaid?” Tang Mianmian was surprised, “I didn’t hear anything!”

The others shook their heads, and Shen Yuan said, “I didn’t hear it either.”

Shen Yuan didn’t hear them while in the same room, which meant that maybe only Xiao Tangqiu heard them, and maybe that coward.

Tang Mianmian suddenly remembered something. He grinned and asked, “What does a mermaid look like? Is it beautiful?”

Xiao Tangqiu remembered the appearance of the mermaid in the nightmare, and the corners of his mouth twitched, not wanting to speak.

“Qiuqiu, I found that you are really lucky in love after you came here, simply full of peach blossom luck. If it weren’t for those overlord flowers all wanting your life, I would almost be envious and jealous of you!”

Xiao Tangqiu was very tired, “Take these rotten peach blossoms if you want.”

Tang Mianmian chuckled, “You should keep it for yourself. I’m not blessed enough to accept it!”

Xiao Tangqiu rolled his eyes and was about to respond, but the deck under their feet suddenly shook violently!

He thought it was an earthquake at first, but when he realized that they were at sea now. His heart jumped, “Tsunami?!”

If it was an earthquake, they still had a chance. But they were now in the vast ocean. Once they encountered a tsunami, there was nowhere to escape!

As soon as Xiao Tangqiu’s voice fell, the deck shook more severely. This was definitely the prelude to not just an ordinary storm. The previous broken small pirate ship might indeed fall apart in a storm, but a luxury cruise ship of this size definitely would not.

Now that this entire luxury cruise ship shook violently, it was clearly not some ordinary storm, but the much scarier tsunami!

“Fuck!” Tang Mianmian yelled in fright, “Stop your crow’s mouth! Don’t you know that your mouth is the worst kind of jinx! You are a flag-seeker with a 100% success rate in summoning only disasters!”

Xiao Tangqiu, “I’m sorry…”

He was utterly depressed.

The shaking became more and more violent, and there were stormy waves all around the cruise ship.

The cruise ship’s deck was originally tens of meters high, but the huge waves of seawater rose to almost the same height in an instant and slammed the ship like a behemoth against a lone boat.

Xiao Tangqiu cried from the heart, “I was wrong, I was really wrong.”
