Chapter 79 We deserve to die!
Fish Gills' eyes, like black gemstones, gleamed with excitement. His already slightly upturned mouth stretched into a wide grin, revealing his clean, white teeth. He was clearly very satisfied that Gu Ling had been able to capture Medusa so easily.
The Medusas that had been entrenched in the town seemed to sense the presence of the gills. They all raised their heads, exuding a chilling aura, their long, serpentine tails lashing wildly across the ground, as if ready to entangle and devour their enemies at any moment. They swarmed in like a tide, their piercing hiss echoing in every corner of the town, sending shivers down one's spine.
Fish gills, however, felt no fear as they watched this scene; instead, they were filled with anticipation and excitement.
"Master, you go and save them! Leave this to me."
Fish Gill stood still, his eyes fixed on the Medusas, his hands slightly clenched into fists. These were all treasures; he couldn't let the Master damage them, as his future reputation depended on them.
Led by Ning Liang, Ling Yunxiao and Wang Mian rushed into the town. They hadn't forgotten that the Phoenix Squad was still in the town.
However, even though the three of them were mentally prepared, seeing the piles of rubble and pieces of stone arms or feet in the town still made them feel angry and worried.
Finally, Ningxia stopped in front of a courtyard.
"This is the village chief's house. When we arrived, there were still half the villagers alive, all at the village chief's house. I was ordered by the captain to go out and activate the No-Rule Void."
At the time, we all thought there was only one Medusa. But when I was almost finished setting things up, I discovered that the town was teeming with Medusas. Although they weren't strong, their numbers were endless. Just as I was about to warn them, I was petrified. After that, I don't know anything.
Ning Liang sighed and stood at the door of the village chief's house, but hesitated to push it open. He was afraid that behind the door was also a pile of broken stones so shattered that it was impossible to tell what the pieces were.
Ling Yunxiao patted Ning Liang on the shoulder and gently pushed open the door to the village chief's house.
What came into their view were several frantically outstretched old stone statues, and behind them lay the Phoenix team, seemingly injured, lying on the ground. Xia Simeng's golden greatsword, Athena, had even regained its metallic color, and a faint light flickered in her eyes.
It's clear that even without Ling Yunxiao's appearance, Xia Simeng could still recover.
However, now that Ling Yunxiao and Wang Mian have arrived, they naturally won't just stand by and watch her slowly recover here.
After scattering a spell to dispel the evil spirits, Ling Yunxiao took the judge's pen and wrote "facing death to live" over and over again.
Five minutes later, everyone was sitting on the ground, panting heavily. The elderly people were kneeling on the ground, tears streaming down their faces, their voices choked with sobs, their eyes filled with remorse as they repeatedly kowtowed in the direction of the village.
“We deserve to die! If we hadn’t brought back that monster from the sea back then, the village wouldn’t have been destroyed…”
"Waaah... It's all our fault, we shouldn't have saved that monster..."
"Woooooooo..."
Ling Yunxiao and his companions were stunned upon hearing this. Go to sea? After the fog descended, could mortals still go to sea?
"Sir, let's continue with the topic we weren't finished with earlier. You keep saying it's all your fault, but you haven't said what actually happened back then, or how you set sail?"
After thanking Ling Yunxiao and the other person, Xia Simeng reappeared in front of the village chief and asked in a soft voice.
"We just went out by boat as usual. The fog hadn't rolled in yet. In our small coastal town, we basically relied on fishing for a living..."
"One day, when we were out at sea, we met a mermaid who was on the verge of death. We felt sorry for her, so we brought her back. She has been living in our town all these years!"
"She is kind, articulate, and can even brew herbal remedies."
"But last year, for some reason, she suddenly went mad..."
