Chapter 406: Mermaid?
Land from:"……"
He is truly worthy of being called Shadow Rakshasa.
The murderous aura is so strong...
Pan Xiaoxiao was even more shocked.
She had read some information about Li Luo and knew that this girl was not a useless vase.
But it was the dagger that Lu Li hid in the dark!
But what she didn't expect was that
This dagger is so sharp!
The terrifying creature that everyone avoided was, in the eyes of the girl, a target that could be killed at will.
Is it arrogance?
"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 reject 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 discussing the strategy for clearing the level. Where was I before?"
Lu Li sat down cross-legged and stopped looking at the miserable plight of the yellow-haired stick.
Pan Xiaoxiao replied naturally:
"You need to explain why you left a set of noble clothing and a visiting token on the reef of the Hidden 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. Instead, she chose to turn into foam."
"So the prince could become a king, live peacefully with the human queen, and give birth to the current prince."
"The prince now repeats the old king's fate and is also saved by the mermaid."
"But he didn't follow the old king's path and marry a mermaid."
"It should be a happy ending, and everything should be happy."
"There is no use for a dagger at all."
"Then here comes the question." As he spoke, Lu Li flipped his palm.
A blood-stained dagger appeared in front of the three women:
"What's the matter with this dagger?"
"Where did the blood stains on it come from?"
Pan Xiaoxiao was stunned and quickly entered a state of thinking.
After a moment, he answered tentatively:
"In the story of The Daughter of the Sea, the dagger is the key item to lift the curse, and the possibility of having a second one is very small."
"So it must have been 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 reminder made of small shells on the reef, 'The truth is not as beautiful as the bubbles in the sun', and the experience of the prince's mother being assassinated..."
"I think the blood stains on it might have come from the king's wife, the queen of Hatteras."
"Then, why?" Lu Li continued to guide.
"Why?" Pan Xiaoxiao was a little confused.
"The dagger is a tool for removing curses. Why would someone use it to assassinate the queen of Hatteras Imperial City?" Lu Li asked patiently.
"This..." Pan Xiaoxiao's thoughts were stuck.
It’s not that I can’t think of it.
But the answer that popped into my mind was a bit ridiculous.
According to the original setting,
Stabbing a dagger into the heart of an unfaithful person can lift the curse that will cause all murlocs that come ashore to turn into foam when the sun rises.
But there is a problem with gender!
Even if the person assassinated is a king,
It all makes sense.
But she is a female human queen.
Could it be that there is also a 'handsome mermaid' who is secretly in love with the queen?
Seeing that the other party married someone else, he was disheartened and took extreme measures?
Or,
Are there also mermaids with unclear orientation?
Seeing Pan Xiaoxiao's embarrassed expression, Lu Li thought that she just couldn't figure out the key point.
Even players with [Extreme Thinking] cannot figure out the secret for a while.
Lu Li couldn't help feeling relieved.
Fortunately, he preserved his memories from his previous life and knew the perfect strategy to pass the game.
otherwise,
I guess I can't come up with the answer even if I rack my brains.
"In addition." Lu Li did not continue to wait, but gave Pan Xiaoxiao a hint from another angle:
"What was the point of the prince's errands yesterday?"
"The significance of the errand running task..." Pan Xiaoxiao was stunned.
She did think about the hidden clues behind the errands.
But during the previous few walkthroughs, no player chose to open the envelope.
So Pan Xiaoxiao could only start with the light red scale that looked like a jade piece given by the prince.
It was later proved that the scale was a mermaid's tail scale.
Each mermaid has only one jade-like tail scale, which she regards 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 a gift from the prince's deceased wife.
Now it seems that this is not the case.
While Pan Xiaoxiao was thinking, a strange noise suddenly came from outside.
Looking up, a horrifying scene came into view.
The yellow-haired stick had been almost completely eaten by the monster, leaving only a skeleton.
But because his internal organs were not damaged, he still retained some consciousness.
The mouth, with little flesh left, kept opening and closing, as if it was saying something.
The sound did not come from the yellow-haired boy's mouth.
Because he is not dead yet, the challenger barrier has not yet expired.
The one making the strange noise was that horrible creature.
now,
The thing was opening the huge mouth on its chest and slowly aiming at the yellow-haired guy's head.
"Eat... away..."
"Eternal life...immortality..."
The huge mouth full of sharp teeth closed, and only a slight clicking sound was heard.
After a heart-pounding chewing sound, the headless skeleton fell to the sand with a snap.
The ribbon-like tentacles sank into darkness, and the sound of waves lapping against the shore began to reappear.
It was as if everything that just happened had never happened.
"I was a little bit uncertain at first, but I didn't expect a close-up at the end..."
Lu Li stroked his chin, his tone playful.
Just now, when the monster was devouring the yellow-haired head, it stayed there for quite some time.
Not only did Lu Li see his face clearly,
As long as the players present had decent eyesight, they could basically see it clearly.
Even the heavily armored guards began to whisper to each other.
Seemed very surprised at the appearance of this horrible creature.
"Do you want me to grab the mission?" Pan Xiaoxiao noticed the reactions of the players around him and asked.
Although these people have signed an oath contract, there is no guarantee that some of them will not lose their IQ due to impulse.
After all, Lu Li had never said before that these players were not allowed to take on the mission.
"No need." Lu Li said calmly:
"They will take over the task, and we will remain on standby."
"what?"
Even Pan Xiaoxiao couldn't keep up with Lu Li's train of thought at this moment.
Let other players take over the task?
Are you sure?!
Then why did they go to so much trouble to analyze this?
Lu Li naturally knew what Pan Xiaoxiao was thinking and smiled faintly:
"Just listen to me and finish my thoughts on how to pass the level."
"Uh, okay." Pan Xiaoxiao also realized that she had lost her composure and smiled embarrassedly.
She originally played a supporting role and only provided reference suggestions for this secret realm strategy.
The specific decision still has to be made by Lu Li.
