I am a full-level celestial master, you let me enter the strange talk of rules?

At this stage, all the chosen ones made the same choice, which was to release the mermaid back into the sea after the salvage was completed.

Many Chosen Ones failed to judge the so-called "greed", but there were such cases in previous ghost stories.

This time, the Pope acted as a "mentor" and took the initiative to explain to Ryan in order to give his teammates more experience.

"According to the mermaid, there are sea creatures in this world. Her words revealed a key piece of information, which is that she lives in the Dragon Palace.

And judging from her appearance, her status in the sea tribe should be quite high. If we release her, we may be able to get help from her if we run into trouble during the salvage operation."

This is the Pope's understanding, and it is also the reason why most of the Chosen Ones are ready to release the mermaid.

After all, they are just passers-by in this world, and it is useless no matter how much wealth they gain.

If the wealth could really be taken out, it would surely arouse the desires of many chosen ones, and they would not be so calm.

The chosen ones who can survive here have already begun to integrate into their own identities and adapt to this world of ghost stories, so their judgment is naturally very accurate.

Those with inaccurate judgment have basically died in the deep-sea residential buildings.

Of course, the Pharaoh is an exception. He is the only chosen one who made a wrong judgment and still survived.

Seeing that Ryan understood, the Pope was very satisfied. This time, the Nordic Snow Country really selected a teammate with good abilities in all aspects.

However, the Pope was still under a lot of pressure because Ryan was too obedient and did not express his own ideas.

So most of the judgments are made by the Pope alone.

He did not have the same horrific experience as Zhang Yangqing, so he could only be cautious and keep recalling some details that Zhang Yangqing had told him before.

On the big screen of Longguo, Zhang Yangqing refreshed his condition and prepared to go into the water for the third time. The purpose of this time was to salvage the golden statue.

At this time, the bearded man gave him another suggestion.

“I understand if you keep your promise and let the mermaid go, but what if she doesn’t keep her promise? You can’t catch her in the sea.”

According to the bearded man, it would be better to keep her in the cage and release her after the golden statue is hoisted up.

Zhang Yangqing had considered this before, and this was a gamble.

If you choose to believe her, she will have a favorable impression of you.

Then after letting her go, maybe it will be helpful for my subsequent process.

If we lock her in a cage and release her after the salvage is complete, it would be like just fulfilling a promise to each other, and she wouldn't owe anyone anything.

It’s hard to say whether we will help or not at that time.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Yangqing decided to let her go early.

The bearded man was too lazy to ask why. He believed in Zhang Yangqing's judgment and arranged for his men to get the cutting equipment.

It wasn't long before the mermaid's cage was opened.

The next second, the mermaid jumped from the deck into the sea with a splash.

At this time, both the people on the deck and those outside the big screen were panicking.

If the mermaid escapes directly, then Master Zhang will have no chance of salvaging the golden statue today, and the progress of the ghost story will be greatly reduced.

On Mount Longhu, Xiao Xuan, who was watching the big screen, sighed and said, "It seems that the head teacher has lost the bet this time."

Su Muyu smiled slightly and said, "That may not be the case. You may not believe in Yang Qing's luck, but you cannot not believe in his appearance."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a woman's clear voice coming from the sea level on the big screen of Longguo.

The mermaid swam and urged Zhang Yangqing to go down quickly.

Now Xiao Xuan couldn't hold it anymore and almost forgot that this mermaid was a female.

Generally speaking, female NPCs who are not in opposition have a very high degree of favorability towards their own head master.

No wonder the head master dared to gamble, perhaps he had observed something.

It was already quite late, so Zhang Yangqing did not hesitate. He asked the crane to lower the suspension line, and then he pulled the suspension line and dived into the sea.

As expected, the mermaid moves very quickly in the water.

She could even circle around Zhang Yangqing.

Zhang Yangqing followed her to a strange place, which looked like an underwater mountain.

But there didn't seem to be anything dangerous nearby. There were only a few very large caves. It was pitch black inside. No one knew what was inside, but no one dared to go in rashly.

The mermaid used a special method to transmit the message to Zhang Yangqing's mind. She told Zhang Yangqing that there lived a powerful sea beast here, which was the new overlord of this area. These sea beasts were born with a desire to collect treasures.

When the mermaid came here for refuge, she saw with her own eyes that the sea monster took away the golden statue and hid it in this place.

As she spoke, the mermaid pointed to the entrance of a deep-sea mountain cave, indicating that the treasure was inside.

However, she kindly reminded that when entering the entrance of the deep-sea mountain, it is best to find a way to determine whether the sea beasts are at home.

This sea beast is a regional overlord. If Zhang Yangqing disturbs it, he might lose his life.

Since she said so, Zhang Yangqing naturally knew that the sea beast was most likely at home.

So at this stage, Zhang Yangqing's disadvantage appears.

Here other Chosen Ones can cooperate with teammates and utilize Rule 2.

[Rule 2: Don’t get hurt while diving, as blood will attract scary creatures.]

The Chosen Ones can act separately, with one waiting near the cave entrance while the other swims to a farther place and uses blood to trigger the conditions for sea beasts to attack, thus attracting the sea beasts out of the deep-sea mountain cave entrance.

Then the chosen one guarding near the entrance of the deep-sea mountain cave can successfully hoist the golden statue up.

This is the significance of team ghost stories, which requires the chosen ones to cooperate with each other.

But it is difficult for Zhang Yangqing to do this alone.

But there is a way.

Zhang Yangqing first let the mermaid follow him to the surface. He returned to the boat and asked the bearded man to hand him a bottle. He cut his finger with a dagger, dripped blood into the bottle, and then put the lid on.

After simply bandaging the wound and putting on gloves, Zhang Yangqing jumped off the boat and returned to the sea.

"Please do me a favor. My blood can attract powerful sea beasts to attack. Take this bottle to a farther place. When you are sure of your own safety, open the lid and find a place to hide."

Zhang Yangqing repeatedly reminded the mermaid to be careful.

After completing this task, the mermaid can leave this place directly.

The mermaid nodded. That was not difficult to do.

Before leaving, the mermaid suddenly asked, "Will you come back here after you finish salvaging?"

Zhang Yangqing shook his head and replied, "The golden statue is cursed and is quite dangerous. Once it is salvaged, we will return to the port. I don't know where to go next."

After a brief chat, the two said goodbye at the sea level and swam to different places.

Time is running out now, and a glimmer of light has appeared on the sea level.

Zhang Yangqing waited at the entrance of the deep-sea mountain cave for about ten minutes. Then a huge creature that looked like an octopus rushed out of the cave, and the entire area was shaken violently.

This may also be the main reason why there are no other living creatures around.

It seems that the mermaid has acted according to Zhang Yangqing's plan.

Taking advantage of the sea beast's departure, Zhang Yangqing turned on the light on his helmet and dived into the cave entrance of the deep-sea mountain range.

Just as the mermaid said, there were not only golden statues but also some other treasures.

If these were salvaged, we would definitely be able to make a lot of money.

And this is where the chosen ones can be greedy.

There is already intelligence that mentions that gaining more wealth can be exchanged for better salvage ships and more powerful crew teammates.

But no one knows whether there will be any consequences.

The bet is whether the chosen ones are brave enough.

Zhang Yangqing could also think of it, but he didn't have that much time and no teammates to cooperate with him, so he just took what he wanted.

After tying the sturdy rope to the golden statue, he pressed the signal transmitter.

In less than three minutes, the golden statue was successfully salvaged onto the deck.

When the bearded man saw the statue, disgust was written all over his face.

Then he said, "I don't know who would spend money to salvage such an unlucky thing."

Hearing this, Zhang Yangqing said, "Is there a possibility that the person who paid for the salvage of the statue might be your district chief himself?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone on the deck was shocked! Then there was a burst of indignation!
