Chapter 132 Shameless
The female village chief chewed the fish with a satisfied smile on her face.
“Look, there’s nothing wrong with this fish,” she said after swallowing the fish, showing the empty bowl. “This is a delicacy unique to our island, only served after a special ceremony. Not only is it delicious, it’s really good for your health.”
Seeing that the female village chief tasted it herself and found nothing unusual, Cheng Yue, Fang Shihao and Xiao Wan began to feel relieved.
"It seems like there's really no problem." Cheng Yue muttered softly.
"Yes, and it smells so good. I'm a little hungry." Xiaowan touched her stomach.
Fang Shihao secretly calculated that if he could bring this thing back to China for research, he might be able to make a fortune.
Yang Xining's expression suddenly became solemn. She quickly glanced around and found that the entrance to the cave had been quietly blocked by a group of female villagers.
Moreover, right below their heads, there was a huge object hanging - a gigantic cage.
Like a cage in a nightmare, it portends an ominous omen.
This reminded Yang Xining of the time when he went to the Bai family and was imprisoned in a large iron cage by Xuanyuan Ji.
A strong premonition surged in her heart.
One can't help but start speculating that once everyone's bodies mutate due to eating that unknown fish, they will turn into the legendary ferocious orc-merman.
This cage will become a shackle from which they cannot escape.
This guess made her heart beat faster and a sense of urgency arose.
I watched everyone using chopsticks to turn the fish in their bowls.
She tried to convince others: "Don't be fooled, this is probably poisonous!"
The female tour guide smiled gently, but a barely perceptible coldness flashed in her eyes: "Little comrade, this is a specialty of Devil's Island, an extremely precious ingredient that can bring health and longevity. Every tourist who comes here to perform the ceremony will eat it. If they don't eat it, they will be cursed."
Looking at everyone's complaining eyes.
Yang Xining knew that if she forcibly stopped everyone from eating, it might cause conflict.
But human life is at stake, she must stop it.
Just as she was about to speak, Lanling Chi suddenly reached out, picked up the chopsticks, and picked up a piece of fish.
"Since the village chief has tried it himself, we should give the owner some respect." He said, putting the fish into his mouth.
Yang Xining looked at him in astonishment and wanted to stop him but it was too late.
Lan Ling Chi chewed the fish meat with a smile on his face: "It is indeed delicious, and has an indescribable fragrance. You may want to try it."
With Lanling Chi taking the lead, Cheng Yue, Xiaowan and others also picked up their chopsticks to taste the food.
"Wow, it's really delicious!" Cheng Yue exclaimed.
"Yes, it tastes super tender and smooth, and has a unique fragrance." Xiaowan also agreed.
Seeing this, Fang Shihao couldn't help but try it: "It's really good."
"Hope you try some too, it's delicious." Lan Ling Chi picked up a piece of fish and put it to Yang Xining's mouth.
Yang Xining stared at the piece of fish.
Eh... this doesn't seem to be mermaid meat.
Is she too nervous?
It was clearly mermaid meat just now.
Under the gaze of the villagers, she hesitantly took a small bite.
Seeing her eat it, the villagers, led by the female village chief, relaxed their vigilance.
In a blink of an eye, the fish on the plate was eaten up by everyone.
Just then, a young man rushed in. He was one of the assistants who had followed Dr. Zhang Yaomin into the laboratory.
He gasped, "Something happened!"
This sentence was like a bombshell, instantly diverting everyone's attention.
The villagers looked even more nervous.
"What's going on?" the female village chief asked sternly.
"Dr. Zhang's laboratory suddenly caught fire."
Upon hearing this, the female village chief's face became even uglier.
She seemed to be making a difficult decision, and finally waved her hand: "Take them out, the ceremony is suspended."
The female villagers acted quickly and opened the blockade of the cave entrance.
Everyone followed the female tour guide and left the mermaid cave.
Yang Xining found an opportunity to hold Lan Lingchi back.
"How did you change the meat just now?"
She knew that he must have done something.
Lan Lingchi looked at her with deep eyes: "I naturally have a way."
In fact, he didn't know why Yang Xining stopped them from eating the bowl of fish.
But she was so nervous just now.
So he secretly asked the invisible Monet to replace it.
They ate nothing more than ordinary food.
Thinking of this, he asked Yang Xining: "What's the problem with fish meat?"
Yang Xining shook her head. She didn't explain it directly because it was too complicated.
After coming out, she found an opportunity to call Erdos.
After listening to this, Erdos thought for a moment and said, "Don't act rashly. Generally, after eating mermaid meat, some people have special bodies and will not react quickly. You need to wait at least 1-3 hours. Although you didn't eat it, if I'm not mistaken, they will go to your rooms before 12 o'clock tonight to check on your physical condition one by one. You can react accordingly."
"Ah."
Erdos here just hung up the phone.
"Shhhhhh!"
The sound of several paintball guns spraying suddenly rang in his ears.
He reacted quickly and dodged to the side, avoiding the sudden attack.
However, this was just the beginning, as more paintball guns came from all directions, forcing him to dodge everywhere.
"Haha, I found you, brother!" a familiar voice said with laughter.
Erdos looked up.
Qi Lin was seen wearing a black bulletproof vest, a camouflage suit, goggles, holding a paintball gun, with a smile of success on his face.
Beside him, Mo Junli and Lu Xinghan were also equipped in the same way, only holding a paintball gun each, and they also had smiles on their faces.
Erdos then remembered.
They are playing a real-life CS game in the wild at the moment.
As for why it developed into this?
This matter started from the night he kicked Mo Junli out of the tent.
He underestimated the cohesiveness of this group of men.
Because the next day, Qi Lin and Lu Xinghan also followed.
With the successive joining of Qi Lin and Lu Xinghan, and later the unexpected arrival of Qi Yuxiao and Xiao Zonghe.
Okay, all the bad guys are gathered together.
Now, Erdös finally truly understood the pain Yang Xining had experienced in the past.
Because, in order to win Yang Xining's attention, this group of men bought people's hearts at all costs.
There were even a few tents set up near their student camp.
Each of them had their own ulterior motives, but they all tried to approach Yang Xining in the most casual manner.
Among them, Mo Junli is the most "shameless" because he was once a prominent figure in Xihua Fengyuan.
Even after graduation, his personality still has influence among many younger classmates.
He won the hearts of teachers with his unique charm and personal appeal, and also attracted a large number of male students to become his loyal fans.
A distorted set of values is also quietly growing.
Boys began to compete with each other for brand names and cars, and regarded material enjoyment as a sign of success.
The girls put on exquisite makeup, trying to attract the attention of those "boring young masters" with their beauty.
Suddenly I forgot that I was here to experience camping life.
Thinking of this, Erdos rubbed his eyebrows.
They are all evil!!
He always reminded himself that he was just pretending to be Yang Xining.
Be patient, be patient, just endure it for one more day.
