Who invited the witch into the eerie game?

Chapter 159 Deceiving the Flashscale Clan?

The tsunami spread for a while before being quelled.

The underwater city of Vashj did not burn like Linus.

Su Xiaoshuang strolled forward and came to a temple.

This is Vashj's most famous Tide Temple.

She walked inside.

I saw the meditation method displayed on the wall.

In the center of the temple sat rows of tidal monks, their bodies surrounded by special water currents that synchronized with Vashj's tides, their breathing and life rhythms perfectly in sync.

In a sense, this can be considered a way of achieving harmony between humanity and nature.

However, they went astray in their cultivation.

In order to maintain a state of harmony between man and nature, he was completely bound to the tides of Vashj.

Before the arrival of the eerie game, there shouldn't be any problems.

However, things changed after the arrival of the eerie game.

These tidal monks became filters and transit points for the accumulation of pollution.

Once they begin meditating and breathing, they never stop, which is why Tide Monks age and wither rapidly after leaving the Tide Temple for more than one cycle.

Su Xiaoshuang took a closer look and realized that there were quite a few players among them.

At least I used to be a player.

Now, they are simply tidal monks, bizarre monsters that exist here forever.

Su Xiaoshuang turned around, ready to leave.

Suddenly, a cold, eerie aura seemed to want to approach her shadow.

The next second, an invisible magical shield was activated, and the chilling aura that tried to approach exploded.

Su Xiaoshuang stopped in her tracks.

Turn around.

Instantly, the atmosphere in the entire Tide Temple became extremely oppressive.

Without any unnecessary words, Su Xiaoshuang raised her hand, and [Strange Object 021, Immortal Sword Fox Ash] appeared beside her.

"Excuse me, who is this?"

,

The Temple of Tides was perfectly calm.

Each of the eerie monsters was deep in meditation, and the water in front of them showed no change whatsoever.

"Nobody's answering?"

Su Xiaoshuang blinked.

Fox Ash was drawn an inch from its sheath, and a beam of sword light flew out, piercing through the six Tide Cultivators in its path, instantly shattering them.

Black, foul blood and bits of flesh splattered onto every surviving Tide Monk.

However, not a single Tide Monk wavered.

Not only that, but a strange scene unfolded.

All the bits of flesh and pollution were absorbed and devoured as the Tide Monks meditated and breathed, restoring the Tide Temple to its original purity.

No one cares whether there are more or fewer Tide Cultivators.

"I'll give you a chance. I'll let you go if you identify who attacked me."

Su Xiaoshuang spoke again.

She didn't quite understand.

The Tide Monk continued meditating and breathing, unmoved.

The sword light of the Immortal Sword Fox Ember flashed again, and this time more than 20 Tide Cultivators were pierced by the sword light and exploded.

Unlike last time, the water flow in front of the surviving Tide Monk began to change this time.

Does he seem to be afraid?

However, not a single Tide Monk stepped forward.

Su Xiaoshuang put away [Strange Object 021, Immortal Sword Fox Ash], and her hair began to turn pink.

Multiple magic arrays unfolded around Su Xiaoshuang, and transparent arrows of light were instantly released, covering every Tide Cultivator in the Tide Temple.

At this moment, the Tide Monk could no longer remain calm.

They opened their eyes and tried to escape.

However, Su Xiaoshuang's attack is light, so how could their speed possibly be faster than light?

In an instant, the arrow of light pierced through every Tidebringer, setting them ablaze.

Boom boom boom!

One after another, enormous fireballs appeared in the temple.

Especially those at the bizarre demigod level, with raging flames, and when the pain reaches its extreme, they will fly up and explode like fireworks, looking extremely beautiful and spectacular.

A few minutes later, the Temple of Tides was empty.

Su Xiaoshuang reverted to looking like Celia Xavier.

This time, the Temple of Tides looked much more normal and brighter.

Suddenly, she thought of something, took out the "Strange Object - 069, The Book of Oblivion", opened the book, and aimed it at the meditation method on the wall.

Suddenly, the wall let out a mournful wail, and then the text on it began to change.

A few dozen seconds later, the meditation was still just meditation.

As for whether it's identical to the original, she didn't know.

"The Book of Oblivion, it actually works, that's so strange."

Su Xiaoshuang put away the Book of Oblivion and turned to leave the Tide Temple.

That being said, she came here simply to level up by AFK, and as an NPC, so why are there so many problems?

First the reckless Flashscale Clan, then the Tide Monks—could there be a sinister god lurking in Vashj's shadows?

Is the other person spying on me?

Winnie said that the gods of the supernatural often fight over territory.

She may have been inadvertently exposed by Vashj, attracting the attention of other strange gods.

It's possible that all these troubles are the other party testing my abilities.

Therefore, Su Xiaoshuang simply revealed her light magic directly.

If the opponent is a strange god who isn't even afraid of light magic, then things will get complicated.

If all else fails, she'll have no choice but to run away.

Not long after, Su Xiaoshuang returned to the Tide Temple.

The temple was empty, remaining unchanged from its purified state.

"Am I overthinking it?"

Su Xiaoshuang muttered to herself.

This time, she simply walked around the temple to make sure there were no problems before leaving again.

However, Su Xiaoshuang returned 10 minutes after leaving.

The Temple of Tides remains unchanged.

After confirming three times that there were no strange monsters left behind, Su Xiaoshuang left with peace of mind.

"That's terrifying!"

A Tier 1 Tide Monk materialized outside the Tide Temple.

He tried to approach the Temple of Tides, but felt an unbearable stinging pain in his body from the residual light magic energy.

Even a tiny spark of flame can ignite a complete fire.

"You didn't expect this, did you? I'm back."

Suddenly, a magic circle lit up behind him.

Su Xiaoshuang appeared behind the strange demigod, and the flame of light moved forward, landing on the other party.

"No!"

The eerie demigod let out a mournful scream.

The flames instantly engulfed his entire body, and he fled to higher ground, attempting to slow the fire and find a way to save himself.

However, his entire body had become a source of fire, and as long as the contamination within his body remained, the flames of light would not be extinguished.

Such a struggle is futile.

"Were you the one causing trouble just now?"

Su Xiaoshuang looked at the strange demigod flying into the sky and asked softly.

The eerie demigod was on the verge of tears. He said that if anyone had a question, they could ask him directly, and he would be willing to answer anything.

Now, even if he wanted to answer, he couldn't answer anything.

Because the core was ignited —

In the instant the explosion turned into underwater fireworks, the eerie demigod saw a slight upturn of the corners of the witch's mouth beneath her hat.

boom!

Another beautiful firework exploded underwater, bursting into a riot of colors.

Su Xiaoshuang enjoyed the fireworks, feeling happy.

It must be said that underwater fireworks and land fireworks are completely different concepts, but both are very beautiful.

With the Tide Monk of Sequence 1 dealt with, the subtle feeling of being watched was temporarily gone.

There shouldn't be any problems.

Su Xiaoshuang reverted to her original form as Celia Xavier and left.

The Tide Temple has been experiencing a series of massive explosions; it's possible that someone is already watching. It would be better to leave as soon as possible.

"What's going on today?"

Grayson, gripping the stone pillar in front of him, asked with a bewildered expression, "Are there really that many underwater tsunamis?"

"I was almost swept away by the water."

Pastor Dylan held the coral stone tightly, still shaken, fearing another tsunami might strike.

-

Everyone present was holding onto something, in case of a sudden, terrifying surge of water.

If it really gets stolen, things will be bad.

"It's not a tsunami."

Gong Che said, "A demigod has fallen, and not just one, but many. I heard fear, despair, and tranquility in the flowing water."

What the hell is Ning Jing?

Everyone felt confused.

"It was a Tide Cultist; a Tide Cultist has been killed."

Gong Che thought about it carefully for a moment and then said.

He frowned.

The fact that he can identify the Tide Monks shows that he is becoming increasingly influenced by them.

"We must finish the game as soon as possible, or we'll be stuck here forever."

Gong Che added, "Vashj might experience some extremely terrifying changes; this is a message conveyed through the water."

What?

Everyone was startled.

After waiting for several more tens of minutes, as the last wave of violent tsunami waters subsided, Vashj returned to calm.

Local aquatic creatures should set up stalls or continue doing business as usual.

It's as if nothing ever happened.

They seemed to have long been accustomed to everything underwater.

"There are Lightning Scale Clan members over there."

Yano Nana pointed ahead and said.

"The trial of the Shining Scales involves successfully deceiving a Shining Trader during a transaction without being detected by their chest scales," Shen Yining said. "I don't recommend attempting it without being completely confident."

"But we have to try," Gong Che said. "Besides, if the deception fails, we can kill them."

His eyes glowed red, and in this state, Gong Che resembled a strange sea creature.

"My suggestion is to gather intelligence first," Shen Yining said.

"But I don't have much time left."

Gong Che raised his hand, and a special stream of water appeared in front of him. "Look, I'm about to become a Tide Monk. Once my tides synchronize with Vashj's, I'll never be able to leave this place again."

"it is good."

Shen Yining looked at the others and said, "Let's step back."

"Back off?"

Zhang Qingyu asked curiously, "Why?"

"After he kills the Scaled Clan merchant, the Merfolk Guards will come."

Shen Yining said, "If we fight the merman guards and get wanted by Vashj, we'll never be able to leave."

"Are you so sure he'll fail at his scam?" Lan Yuheng asked.

"Um."

Shen Yining did not avoid Gong Che and nodded.

Gong Che only glanced at Shen Yining before swimming straight toward the stall of the Flashscale Clan merchant.

In any case, as the team leader, Shen Yining didn't interfere with his decision.

He didn't care about the rest.

"Ah, esteemed guest, is there anything here that pleases your eye?"

The Scaled Clan merchant swam over to greet them warmly.

The scales on the other person's chest shimmered, like the rhythm of their breathing, but nothing could be discerned at the moment.

"What good things do you have here?" Gong Che asked.

"Dear guest, these are all treasures."

The Scale Clan merchant said, "Look, this is a Memory Pearl. It can give you a special memory and even teach you special skills."

"This is the Dream Jellyfish. The best-selling one right now is the Dream Jellyfish, which can turn a woman's flat chest into a large one. If you want to give it to your beloved partner, buying one is definitely worth it."

"This is a sea-suppressing stone. You only need a small piece, and no matter how big the tsunami is, you can walk on flat ground as if it were solid ground."

"This is----"

"Great, what do I need to pay for these?"

Gong Che looked at the Flashscale Clan merchant with a smile on his face; the scales on the merchant's chest were already flashing wildly.

According to the rules, this is a sign that the Silverscale merchant is about to commit fraud.

"You don't need to pay anything; you only need to pledge a few of your most precious memories," said the Flashscale merchant.

"Yeah?"

Gong Che said, "Do you have anything that can extract memories? I do have some precious memories."

Yes, yes, yes.

The Scale Clan merchant took out a pearl: "This is a blank memory pearl. You only need to place it on your forehead, recall your precious memories, and it can be injected into it."

As he said this, the scales on the chest of the Scaled Clan merchant remained steady, a sign of his integrity.

"very good."

Gong Che took the blank memory pearl, pressed it to his forehead, and recalled everything he had experienced at the Tide Temple.

To be on the safe side, he injected all his memories of observing the special water flow before the transaction.

In an instant, Gong Che's expression changed.

He had lost his memories of the Tide Monks, and the blank memory pearl emitted a faint blue-white light.

"It's a blue-white quality memory."

The Scale Clan merchant picked up the Memory Pearl, examined it closely, and said with great delight, "Honorable guest, you may choose any two items here."

At this moment, the scales on the chest of the Flashscale merchant flashed wildly once again.

Gong Che sneered inwardly.

He picked up a piece of sea-suppressing stone, a blue coral bead.

"I want both of them."

"no problem."

The scales on the chest of the Scaled Clan merchant shimmered wildly as he eagerly announced, "The deal is done."

"Um."

Gong Che nodded and returned with the Sea-Suppressing Stone and the blue coral bead.

These Scale Clan members were quite sensible; they reached a perfect deal without him having to lift a finger to kill them.

"Everyone, I'm back."

Gong Che subconsciously took out a cloak from the game terminal, put it on, and walked in front of the crowd.

"Gong Che, you—" Shen Yining said, "Do you even remember what you traded?"

"I, of course, traded away an extremely terrible memory."

Gong Che said, "Although I've forgotten which memory it was, the rest of my memories tell me that as long as that memory is traded out, I can either succeed in fraud if I'm lucky, or extend my stay in Vashj if I'm unlucky."

"You traded away the memories related to the Tide Monks?"

Lan Yuheng's expression changed. "No, you're accelerating your transformation into a Tidal Cultivator! Stop your breathing and don't bind yourself to Vashj's tides!"
