Chapter 406 Mermaid?
Lu Li: "..."
She is indeed the Shadow Rakshasa.
She is so murderous...
Pan Xiaoxiao was even more shocked.
She had learned about Li Luo's information and knew that this girl was not a useless vase.
She was the dagger that Lu Li had hidden in the dark!
But what she didn't expect was that
this dagger was so sharp!
The terrifying creature that everyone avoided was a target that could be killed at will in the eyes of the girl.
Is she arrogant?
"Don't take risks." Lu Li said earnestly:
"It's not time for you to take action yet."
Pan Xiaoxiao was even more shocked.
Lu Li did not deny the girl's proposal, but was worried about the risks involved.
It seems that the girl really has the ability to kill terrifying creatures!
"Let's continue to discuss the idea of passing the level. Where did I say before?"
Lu Li sat down cross-legged and stopped looking at the miserable state of the yellow-haired stick.
Pan Xiaoxiao naturally replied:
"Speaking of which, you need to explain why you left a set of noble clothing and a visiting token on the reef of the 'Secret Cape'."
"Oh, yes." Lu Li nodded and continued:
"In the original fairy tale, the mermaid who saved the prince did not stab the prince with a dagger when she saw her beloved marrying another girl, but chose to turn herself into foam."
"So the prince could become a king, live peacefully with the human queen, and give birth to the current prince."
"The current prince repeated the fate of the old king and was also saved by the mermaid."
"But he did not follow the old king's old path and married a mermaid."
"It should be a happy ending, and everything should be happy."
"There is no place to use the dagger."
"Then the question is." While speaking, Lu Li flipped his palm.
A blood-stained dagger appeared in front of the three women:
"What's the matter with this dagger?"
"How did the blood stains on it come from?"
Pan Xiaoxiao was startled and quickly entered a state of thinking.
After a moment, he tentatively answered:
"In the story of [The Daughter of the Sea], the dagger is the key prop to lift the curse, and the possibility of having a second one is very small."
"So it should be left by the mermaid who saved the king."
Seeing that Lu Li did not deny it, Pan Xiaoxiao said while thinking:
"As for the blood stains on the dagger..."
"Combined with the text hints made of small shells on the reef, 'The truth is not as beautiful as the bubbles under the sun', and the experience of the prince's mother being assassinated..."
"I think the blood stains on it may come from the king's wife, the queen of Hatteras Royal City."
"Then why?" Lu Li continued to guide.
"Why?" Pan Xiaoxiao was a little confused.
"The dagger is a prop to lift the curse, why would someone use it to assassinate the queen of Hatteras Royal City?" Lu Li asked patiently.
"This..." Pan Xiaoxiao's thinking was stuck.
It's not that I can't think of it.
It's just that the answer that popped up in my mind is a bit absurd.
According to the original setting,
A dagger pierced into the heart of an unfaithful person can lift the curse that when the sun rises, the merman who lands on the shore will turn into foam.
But there is a problem with gender!
Even if the person assassinated is the king,
everything makes sense.
But it happened to be the human queen who is a woman.
Could it be that there is also a "beautiful fish" who loves the queen silently behind her back?
Seeing that the other party married someone else, he was disheartened and took extreme measures?
Or,
there are also mermaids with unclear sexual orientation?
Seeing Pan Xiaoxiao's embarrassed face, Lu Li thought that the other party couldn't figure out the key.
Even the players with [Extreme Thinking] couldn't figure out the secret for a while.
Lu Li couldn't help but feel lucky.
Fortunately, he kept the memory of his previous life and knew the perfect clearance strategy.
Otherwise,
it is estimated that he couldn't figure out the answer even if he racked his brains.
"In addition." Lu Li did not continue to wait, but gave Pan Xiaoxiao a hint from another angle:
"What is the significance of the prince's errand task yesterday?"
"The significance of the errand task..." Pan Xiaoxiao was stunned.
She did think about the hidden clues behind the errand task.
But since no player chose to open the envelope during the previous walkthroughs.
So Pan Xiaoxiao could only start with the light red scale that looked like a jade piece given by the prince.
Later it was proved that this scale was the tail scale of the mermaid.
Each mermaid has only one jade-like tail scale, which is regarded as a treasure.
Usually, mermaids will express their love by giving tail scales.
Similar to a token of love.
Originally, Pan Xiaoxiao thought that this tail scale was given by the prince's deceased wife.
Now it seems that the fact is not the case.
When Pan Xiaoxiao was thinking, a strange sound suddenly came from outside.
Looking up, a horrifying scene came into view.
The yellow-haired stickman had been eaten almost completely by the monster, leaving only a skeleton.
But because his internal organs were not damaged, he still retained some consciousness.
His mouth, which had little flesh left, kept opening and closing, as if he was saying something.
The sound did not come from the yellow-haired stickman's mouth.
Because he was not dead yet, the challenger barrier had not yet expired.
The one who made the strange noise was the terrifying creature.
At this moment,
that thing was opening the huge mouth growing on its chest, slowly aiming at the yellow-haired stickman's head.
"Eat... it..."
"Eternal life... immortality..."
The huge mouth full of sharp teeth closed, and only a slight clicking sound came out.
After a heart-pounding chewing sound, the headless skeleton fell to the sand with a snap.
The ribbon-like tentacles sank into the darkness, and the sound of waves hitting the shore sounded again.
It was as if everything just now had never happened.
"I was a little uncertain at first, but I didn't expect a close-up at the end..."
Lu Li touched his chin, his tone playful.
Just now, when the monster devoured the yellow-haired head, it stayed in the same place for a long time.
Not only did Lu Li see his face clearly,
the players present, as long as their eyesight was not too bad, basically saw it clearly.
Even the heavily armored guards began to whisper to each other,
seemingly very surprised by the appearance of this terrifying creature.
"Do you want me to grab the task?" Pan Xiaoxiao noticed the reactions of the surrounding players and asked.
Although these people have signed the oath contract, it is hard to guarantee that no one will be impulsive and have their IQ offline.
After all, Lu Li had not said before that these players were not allowed to take the task.
"No need." Lu Li said calmly:
"Let them take the task, we will not do anything."
"Huh?"
Even Pan Xiaoxiao couldn't keep up with Lu Li's thinking at this moment.
Let other players take the task?
Are you sure? !
Then why did they spend so much effort to analyze it just now?
Lu Li naturally knew what Pan Xiaoxiao was thinking, and smiled faintly:
"Just listen to me and finish my idea of passing the level."
"Uh, okay." Pan Xiaoxiao also realized that she had lost her composure and smiled embarrassedly.
She was originally playing a supporting role, just providing reference suggestions for this secret realm strategy.
The specific decision to be made still had to be made by Lu Li.
