The strangeness has come, I am a god with trillions of ghost money

Chapter 462 Hold my hand, or I'll be scared.

Xu Chen's eyes widened suddenly. "You...you're not a player! You're a ghost...a ghost..."

The midwife swallowed his heart whole and said with satisfaction, "What nonsense! I'm a tiger shark, and seahorses are tiger shark food."

The midwife moved too quickly; Xu Chen didn't even have time to use his high-level ghost card.

boom--!
His body crashed to the ground, and the midwife knelt down, used her sharp, long fingernails to cut open his stomach, and then slowly dug out the flesh and blood to eat.

Before long, Xu Chen's bones were gnawed to pieces by the midwife, and his soul was swallowed by her.

"Who's next?"

The midwife excitedly touched her face, and when she stood up again, her face and body had transformed into Xu Chen's appearance!

She even followed Xu Chen's habit and pushed up her thin-rimmed glasses.

The bamboo hut was filled with wails.

Because Xu Chen let these tiger sharks in, all the seahorses were killed by the tiger sharks.

The tiger sharks squatted excitedly on the ground, enjoying their fresh meal. Once they had eaten their fill, the bones and blood on the ground disappeared.

The tiger shark's identity is so strange that its appearance has changed, transforming it into the shape of the seahorse in this room.

Song Mang and the others were in another bamboo house, so they couldn't see what was happening here, but they could hear screams.

Xiao Junze felt a chill run down his spine, and his eyelids kept twitching.

He couldn't help but say, "They were screaming so pitifully. Are those people still alive? Oh, by the way, I have Xu Chen's contact information. I can send him a message to ask."

Before he could send a message, the door of the bamboo house not far away opened, and "Xu Chen" walked out.

Song Mang stood by the window and observed that the strangeness in the other bamboo house had disappeared, and the players were still inside.

The male seahorses that had growths on their abdomens have all returned to normal, and the tumors on their abdomens have disappeared.

However, among those players who returned to normal, some had shadows on them, while others did not.

Xu Chen walked towards the bamboo house.

"Is anyone there? Open the door, I need to hide here, it's not safe over there."

The bamboo house has a large gap in the door, so people can see "Xu Chen" outside from behind the door.

Song Mang walked over and took a look, and found a shadow at the feet of this "Xu Chen", but she had a feeling that this Xu Chen was no longer the real Xu Chen.

Song Mang then said, "We're full here, there's no more room. You'd better find somewhere else."

A hint of dissatisfaction flashed in Xu Chen's eyes as he continued, "My body has returned to normal, and I know how to help everyone recover."

"Let me in. I can tell you everything for free, and I can also help you recover."

"unnecessary."

Just as Song Mang finished speaking, other players ran over and looked at "Xu Chen" outside.

"He really has recovered. How did he recover? Can you tell us directly?"

Xu Chen sneered, "As my companions, you won't even let me into the house, so why should I tell you?"

"This……"

The male players glanced at Song Mang, then at the strange growth on his stomach.

Not all the players inside this bamboo house are members of the Hexagram.

Some players were tempted after seeing that "Xu Chen" had returned to normal.

"Why don't we let him in? He seems fine. I remember he's even a friend of Young Master Xiao!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Junze glanced at Song Mang before saying, "Let's forget it. I feel he's already dead, and he's probably not the same Xu Chen as before."

"He's still standing there perfectly fine, looking no different from a living person!"

Xiao Junze stared at "Xu Chen" for a while and found that the guy actually had a shadow.

He was immediately confused.

"Huh? Why does he have a shadow? Aren't the eerie creatures that disguise themselves as humans usually without shadows?"

"Perhaps their abilities have improved."

Song Mang pondered for a moment before speaking.

"If I'm not mistaken, the players are all seahorses, and the strange creature in town is a tiger shark. They can hunt and eat players, disguise themselves as a seahorse, sneak into other seahorses' houses, and then eat the other seahorses."

As they devour more and more seahorses, they can disguise themselves as more and more players, and their disguise abilities become stronger, making it difficult for the seahorses to easily detect them.

"And what is the hunter?"

someone asked.

Song Mang explained, "It should be something that can restrain or eliminate the tiger shark's identity. Perhaps only when the hunters help get rid of all the tiger sharks can we be considered to have passed the level." Song Mang had just checked inside the bamboo house and didn't find anything like a shrine.

This shows that the bamboo house can keep tiger sharks out, but it is not a truly safe house.

"Who is the predator?"

Someone else asked.

This time, Song Mang remained silent, and the others shook their heads, indicating they didn't know.

Song Mang walked to Xi Jinzhi's side and asked him telepathically, "Do you have any way to get rid of the tiger shark? What does the rule mean by sacrifice?"

"If we can't break the formation here, even if I can deal with those tiger sharks, they will still exist, just like NPCs in a game dungeon, they will keep respawning."

Xi Jinzhi thought for a moment and then said, "As for what sacrifice is, I don't know either. We may need to explore it ourselves."

"Shall we go out and take a look together?"

Song Mang blinked. "Tiger sharks can't go inside the house, so the sacrifice must not be inside the bamboo house. It must be somewhere else in the town."

Let's go outside for a walk, and while we're at it, let's find out where the key point of this formation for the third round is located.

"Ah."

He gave a soft "yes".

Just as the two were about to leave through the other door of the bamboo house, Song Mang thought of the hunters' rules again.

[The hunter can leave the third level by sacrificing the tiger shark, but please do not easily reveal your identity, because you are isolated and helpless, and you may also be sacrificed by the tiger shark.]

According to the logic of this rule, Xi Jinzhi's identity is the key to their success.

His identity must not be discovered by the tiger shark.

If the tiger shark notices and sacrifices him beforehand, it would likely mean the tiger shark wins, and the human player would be unable to leave the third level.

Song Mang stuffed her own joss paper into Xi Jinzhi's hand, saying, "How about we switch? It'll be easier for you to go out using the identity of the male seahorse."

Song Mang glanced at the other male seahorses, then at Xi Jinzhi, and grinned, "You should get pregnant too."

Xi Jinzhi: "…………"

Actually, he doesn't really care about being discovered.

However, he heard Song Mang mutter to herself, "Why don't you use illusion magic to create one? Once we get out, I, as the mother seahorse, will definitely protect you!"

She leaned close to his ear and told him about some other arrangements, but he didn't hear them clearly.

As she drew closer, he could clearly feel her breath and her warm touch, which made him frown slightly in discomfort.

But he didn't push Song Mang away; he just said, "I didn't hear you. Say it again."

"...?"

Song Mang looked at him speechlessly.

Feeling her leave his side, Xi Jinzhi felt a strange sense of loss, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.

Yes, I really like the feeling of her being close to me.

Warm.

hot.

Like a little sun.

Then, Song Mang transmitted his voice directly into his mind and said it again very loudly, "Did you hear me clearly now? Are you hard of hearing because you're too old?"

Xi Jinzhi rubbed his temples. "I know, there's no need to shout so loudly when using telepathy. Besides, I'm not hard of hearing, I was just thinking about something else."

"Then let's proceed according to my plan, you have no objections, right?"

"Ah."

Xi Jinzhi followed her instructions and used illusion magic to create a tumor on his stomach.

Song Mang first walked out through the back door of the bamboo house, before the eerie tiger sharks outside noticed them.

She was observing her surroundings when she suddenly felt a tightness in her wrist.

His large, cold hand with distinct knuckles had somehow gripped her wrist tightly. He said casually, "Didn't you say you'd protect me? Why are you walking so fast?"

Song Mang thought to herself that she had just moved two meters away from him, so what could have happened?

Besides, he's a hunter!
It's just a fake seahorse!

Suddenly, he said softly, "Hold my hand and lead me, or I'll be scared."

Song Mang: ?
Song Mang turned to look at him in shock, unable to believe that he could say such a thing. Then she saw a sharp blade appear out of thin air behind Xi Jinzhi's head!
The sharp blade stabbed viciously towards the back of his head.
