Infinite Doomsday Escape

Chapter 231 Side Missions
At the same time, Lan Xiaye and Qiangwei received information about side missions at the same time.

[Sub-quests: cooperate with the mermaid to escape from the magic cave; refuse to cooperate with the mermaid, and hunt the mermaid together with the octopus. 】

There are two diametrically opposed options for this side mission, and it seems that this is the faction's choice.

Lan Xiaye glanced at Qiangwei, and the two looked at each other for a moment, hesitated.

There is no option to refuse this side mission, only the choice of faction.

It is naturally impossible for the two to choose opposite camps, and at the same time they need to think about which camp's task is easier.

It seems simple to help the octopus hunt the merman, but behind the mermaid is the merman queen with amazing lethality. Her strength is so strong that it needs to be limited by the game.

The strength behind the octopus was unknown, and the task of escaping from the devil's lair seemed easy, but Lan Xiaye didn't know if there was a monster at the same level as the mermaid queen behind the octopus.

The two choices made Lan Xiaye and Qiangwei dare not make a decision easily, and no one knew the bloody storm behind them.

Lan Xiaye calmed down and began to think, Qiangwei's head was empty, she didn't think about it, she watched Lan Xiaye waiting for Lan Xiaye's final choice.

"Cooperate with the mermaid." After thinking for a while, Lan Xiaye finally chose to escape the magic cave with the mermaid.

The basis for her choice is that the mermaid queen is so powerful that even game restrictions are required.

The big boss behind the octopus may be equally powerful, and it is not something that Lan Xiaye and others can challenge, but this is limited to a side mission, not strong enough to require game restrictions.

"It's so annoying, why did I come across such a side mission that I couldn't refuse!" Qiangwei complained, and then chose to cooperate with the mermaid in the side mission.

The arrival of the side mission completely disrupted Lan Xiaye's plan, she hadn't planned to cooperate with the mermaid.

This mermaid is too cunning, and his strength is not bad. Once he tries to entrap them, he will be very annoying.

As of now, there is no other way.

"Okay, let's cooperate."

She said to the mermaid, "But we are only cooperating with you to leave here, we will not do other unnecessary actions."

The male mermaid pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

In the end, he lingered on the corpse of the mermaid hanging upside down with an extremely complicated look, then decisively propped up the fish's tail, and walked upright.

Ahead is a winding road, and a group of people are walking carefully on this magnificent road.The floor is covered with a bright red solid-color carpet, the surroundings are resplendent, and the ceiling is hung with crystal lighting. The interior space is extremely open and huge. Compared with the water prison area just now, it is brighter here.

Going deeper, a group of people stepped on the carpet, and the soft carpet absorbed the sound of their walking.

As they tiptoed on, they passed an open room.

An octopus in a suit is holding a knife and fork, sitting gracefully on a long duplex table, cutting fish tails on the table.

The half-cooked mermaid meat has a bright luster, which is a little strangely attractive.

The group of men following Lan Xiaye swallowed their saliva quietly.

This slight sound instantly caught the attention of the person in the room. The gentlemanly dressed octopus raised his head sharply. His eyes met Lan Xiaye and the others, and unexpectedly he did not arrest them aggressively.

"Several, please come in." The octopus man in a suit is smarter than other octopus men. He can speak human language and communicate with him.

The octopus directly ignored the tense mermaid, his eyes passed over Lan Xiaye and the others, and he said slowly, "Do you know why we want to hunt mermaids so much?"

Qiangwei was really curious and asked, "Why?"

Some people cheered, and the octopus said triumphantly: "The mermaid is the overlord of the sea. The power of the sea is contained in their flesh and blood. They can control the power of the sea. It is not a problem to call the wind and rain, and they can also control other animals."

"This kind of power is given to you, don't you want it?" The octopus man's seductive voice hooked everyone's hearts.

"You mean, as long as we eat mermaid meat, we can have such power?" Qiangwei asked in disbelief.

The octopus said, "That's right."

The men present were suffocated, and their eyes on the mermaid body on the table became much hotter.

Lan Xiaye and Qiangwei were calm.

The mermaid who was following Lan Xiaye clenched his fists, wanting to run away, but an inexplicable force controlled him, and he couldn't stay too far away from Lan Xiaye and Qiangwei.

He secretly hated and regretted the idea of ​​cooperating with Lan Xiaye, because most of what the octopus said was true.

As long as they eat mermaid meat, they can have great power, but this power naturally has side effects.

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

In order to survive, the mermaid had no choice but to constantly reduce their sense of existence, trying not to attract their attention.

It's a pity that the octopus will not let go of such a huge mermaid.

After he finished luring humans, he glanced at the mermaid with malicious eyes, picked up the knife and fork again and cut off a small piece of meat from the fish tail on the table, and said softly: "But I can't share it with you." This food, it is my precious possession."

The eyes of the men suddenly darkened, frantically shifting to the only surviving mermaid present.

Their eyes were wild and fiery.

The reason why human beings survive in the last days is because they are too weak, neither sharp minions nor thick skin.They can only rely on foreign objects and the power of science and technology to barely survive.

If they could have strong strength, sharp claws, and the ability to call the wind and rain, they would never be able to live in such a miserable life.

The men who fell into endless fantasies didn't realize at all that if the mermaid was so strong, how could it be captured and imprisoned by the octopus, and held in the water prison as food and energy to be squeezed every day.

"My lord..." They looked at Lan Xiaye with fiery eyes, longing for her support.

The mermaid's expression became flustered, and she suppressed her killing intent towards them, and said to Lan Xiaye, "He's lying."

Before he could say more, the octopus man interrupted him forcefully, "I'm not lying. If you don't believe me, you can taste this mermaid meat with me and you will know whether what I said is true or not."

The men nodded quickly.

The smile in the octopus man's voice was even bigger. He picked up the knife and fork and handed it to others, inviting: "Then let's taste it together."

"Don't listen to him! Humans will die if they eat mermaid meat. Mermaid meat is highly poisonous to humans. You will go crazy and assimilate into deformed low-level mermaids." The mermaid stopped in a cold voice.
