Reborn with the Infinite World Panel-Chapter 135 - 134: Survival Escape 18

Nan Chu found something in the pool, and the Sky Eye Tracking Device went into the water as well; this Sky Eye Tracking Device is waterproof.

Nan Chu immediately spotted a palm-sized scale, which was iridescent.

Such a large scale, the owner of it should be quite big too, wonder what kind of fish it is.

After coming out of the water, Nan Chu directly used thunder to set the dungeon’s straw on fire to dry her clothes; only after they were dry did she extinguish the fire and leave the dungeon.

Then she went to other houses, where she found clues and prop cards.

The clue was a diary, recording that on April 3, 2004, the fishermen of Fish Island discovered a mermaid.

This mermaid was very beautiful, and weak.

The fishermen of Fish Island captured the mermaid and tied it to the Wind and Rain Stone on Fish Island after capturing it.

This Wind and Rain Stone is a huge stone on Fish Island that people pray to for safe fishing trips.

Every time they go fishing, the fishermen of Fish Island come to pray at the Wind and Rain Stone.

The mermaid became an object of spectacle.

However, after half a month, the mermaid disappeared.

Many speculated that the mermaid might have escaped, but in reality, the auction house owner secretly hid it away.

The owner of the auction house spent half a month converting the cellar into a dungeon.

The mermaid was locked up in the dungeon.

About three years later, the secret of the auction house’s hidden mermaid was exposed.

When the mermaid was taken out of the dungeon, it had already gone somewhat mad.

The mermaid had many injuries, not caused by a single object.

The mermaid died within a few hours after being taken out of the dungeon.

They dug a random hole not far from the Wind and Rain Stone and buried the mermaid there.

After the mermaid’s death, many things happened on Fish Island, like fishermen going out to fish but catching nothing.

How could fishermen live without catching fish?

Therefore, many fishermen had no choice but to leave Fish Island and work in big cities.

At this time, they all suspected it was because of the mermaid’s curse.

Because before dying, the mermaid chanted something they couldn’t understand, which in hindsight was likely a curse on Fish Island and its residents.

Moreover, the people of Fish Island could no longer eat fish; eating fish would cause severe allergic reactions, leading to death in just a few minutes.

Those who left Fish Island would end up dying from various accidents.

The fishermen who didn’t leave would go missing for no apparent reason; initially, it was one by one, and no one paid much attention at the time.

On April 3, 2018, seven fishermen vanished at once, prompting a police report.

And the incident was even reported.

However, nothing was discovered from the investigation.

Later, people on Fish Island began dying mysteriously, and soon, no one dared to stay on Fish Island.

The person writing the diary also left Fish Island.

Fish Island gradually became a Sky Island.

Nan Chu: This setup is quite something; the show’s writers are pretty impressive.

Mermaid, huh!

The current negative status, could it really be due to the mermaid’s curse?

Might the mermaid’s curse need to be lifted to get the pass key and leave?

With the diary in hand, Nan Chu went to other houses to search for items.

After searching for several hours, Nan Chu reaped a lot of rewards. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Obtained quite a few prop cards.

Now that it’s daylight, I can go to places outside the houses.

Nan Chu went to find the location of the Wind and Rain Stone, and it was easy to spot since it had the words "Wind and Rain Stone" inscribed on it, and it was indeed a large stone.

Nearby the Wind and Rain Stone, a patch of land was entirely barren.

Thinking about the record in the diary, could this be the place where the mermaid was buried?

Nan Chu returned to the inn first; there, she found a shovel, and after obtaining it, she returned to the barren land.

After digging up the barren area, she found many scales but no bones.

However, after digging, a peculiar smell emerged.

[System Message]: You have smelled the mermaid’s corpse odor, Health decreased by 40, entered a weakened state, and affected by the mermaid’s curse.

So this is the smell of a corpse, but the mermaid’s corpse odor wasn’t foul; it had quite a unique aroma.

Nan Chu took out a Healing Card; her health and weakened status were restored, but the mermaid’s curse was not lifted.

[Mermaid’s Curse]: If you do not lift the mermaid’s curse within 24 hours, you will become fish bait.

Tsk, fish bait, or will the fish become her food?

Nan Chu collected all the mermaid scales.

[System Message]: You have collected a lot of mermaid scales, which can be used to craft special Mermaid Scale Armor. It will cost five thousand yuan to make. Would you like to proceed?

[Yes][No]

"Yes."

[System Message]: Mermaid Scale Armor crafted successfully, boasting high defensive power with a bonus to luck.

Nan Chu clicked to use it, and after using it, she continued to search for items.

She found several prop cards, indeed increasing her luck by quite a bit.

Soon, it was nighttime.

When night fell, outside the houses on the island, it became a place that reduced health and increased negative status again.

Nan Chu ate something and returned to the inn’s room.

In the early hours, the inn’s old woman transformed into a monster, a fish-like monster, with many scales appearing on her body.

The monster old woman stealthily went upstairs, silently approaching Nan Chu.

The monster woman was extremely fast and strong; a single punch cracked Nan Chu’s bed.

When the old woman opened the door, Nan Chu already knew but feigned sleep.

At the moment of the old woman’s attack, Nan Chu flipped up, dodging the attack.

Nan Chu clenched her fist and struck back at the old woman.

The old woman was quick to react, dodging Nan Chu’s attack, grasping Nan Chu’s hand, and with a forceful pull, throwing Nan Chu over her back.

After falling to the ground, Nan Chu swept her leg towards the old woman, taking her down; then, in a leg hold, she squeezed the old woman’s neck tightly.

Then she killed her opponent.

After killing the monster, Nan Chu gained one thousand experience points, five hundred yuan, and a potion.

After drinking the potion, a third of her cursed status was treated.

Nan Chu immediately went searching for other monsters.

Soon she found a monster, using an Acceleration Card, quickly caught up to it.

Upon catching the monster, Nan Chu used a Special Fish Net to capture it.

The monster couldn’t escape from the Special Fish Net, so Nan Chu used Thunder Magic to attack it, spending more than ten minutes to kill it.

After killing it, Nan Chu again earned one thousand experience points, five hundred yuan, and a potion.

Nan Chu immediately drank the potion and continued searching for monsters.

An hour later, Nan Chu’s mermaid curse was lifted.

Once lifted, Nan Chu kept searching for monsters.

Unable to find any monsters, she saw a mermaid instead.

[What the hell, is this a mermaid??? How ugly!]

[Scared the life out of me, I thought mermaids looked like the pretty ones in fairytales.]

[If mermaids are this hideous, I’m afraid no one would like them.]

[I need to look at some beauties to cleanse my eyes.]
