Chapter 710 Wait for Me?
Chapter 710 Wait for Me?
Yu Shijiu's eyes turned red with excitement as he watched the sheep-headed men staring at him one after another.
"what."
Yu Shijiu raised the axe in his hand and said with a smile, "What a coincidence, everyone is here. Are you all waiting for me, looking at me so enthusiastically?"
The sheep-headed people: "..."
Their identical, empty, horizontal pupils fell upon Yu Shijiu, and they slowly laughed.
"Hehe...hehe...baa...baa...baa...here it comes...another one..."
"The offering...it's here again...No need...no need for us...no need for us to catch the offering on our own...it came by itself..."
“That’s wonderful…really…the sea god will protect us even more…the sea god will surely see our devotion…our devout hearts…”
"...Safety...it will all be safe...safe return..."
“My family…my children…my wife…they are all here…baa…baa, they’re all waiting for me…ah…baa…baa…”
"..."
More and more sheep-headed people gathered around, and the male player who hadn't been completely hung up lay limp on the deck like a dead man, convulsing unconsciously.
The only player who still retained consciousness huddled in terror by the railing, only daring to peek through his fingers at the convulsing, half-dead male player in front of him.
"..."
The convulsing male player twisted his head to look at him, his mouth agape as he coughed up blood, pleading incoherently for help:
"Help...help...help me..."
"Please...please...please..."
The male player's eyes were red and filled with tears. He dared not look at the male player who had begged him for help, and buried his head in his knees, trembling uncontrollably.
I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry... I... I really... I can't save you... I really can't save you...
I...I can't even save myself...I really can't save you...I really can't save you...
The man, who had been desperately pleading for help, completely broke down. He looked at the male player next to him who had his head tucked into his knees, and desperately opened his mouth to scream—Gurgle…Gurgle gurgle!
More blood flowed from his slit throat... The man's eyes gradually became empty and distorted as he stared resentfully at everything he could see, his gaze growing increasingly sinister.
Why...why was he the third person chosen? Why wasn't I the last person chosen? Why wasn't it someone else who died?!
Why...why? Why, why, why—
The man's chaotic and malicious thoughts ceased at this moment.
He could no longer say anything.
"!"
"I rely on!"
Xu Han, who had finally caught up after rushing, couldn't help but curse when he saw Yu Shijiu, who was already locked in a fierce battle with the sheep-headed man.
It was this sound that caught He Lingling's attention.
In the darkness, He Lingling turned her head, covering her eyes that were constantly bleeding and shedding tears, and "looked" in the direction of the door.
...It was Xu Han.
He Lingling thought of Xu Han's innate skills and wanted to say something, but she was afraid that making too big a move would attract the attention of the sheep-headed man.
Yu Shijiu was only one person, and even with "Feifei's" help, it was still too few... What if he accidentally got injured again...
He Lingling pursed her lips, giving up the idea of asking Xu Han to treat her eyes.
Let's keep it.
If Yu Shijiu gets injured later, there will be a way out.
She gave up, but Xu Han and Brother Zhu quickly dodged the flying wool from the sheep-headed people and ran into a corner.
"It's best to avoid wool."
Zhu Ge's face turned pale: "I always feel that touching wool will contaminate me."
Xu Han gritted his teeth: "Good to know!"
Brother Zhu: "...What—"
Zhu Ge narrowly dodged a goat-headed man's arm that Yu Shijiu had chopped off, and cold sweat streamed down his face.
This...this is too...too brutal.
Xu Han wiped his face and was about to say something when he felt someone watching him.
Huh? Who's watching him?
Xu Han subconsciously followed the gaze and stared in astonishment.
In a corner not far away, three girls huddled under a thin blanket, their pale and panicked faces pressed tightly together—well, not this one.
Xu Han's gaze fell on the girl in the middle who was covering her eyes with a towel.
It's He Lingling.
Xu Han frowned as he looked at the towel that the other person was covering their eyes with, which was almost stained red with blood, and his heart sank.
Is this another side effect of "Ghost Eye"?
He gritted his teeth, glanced at Yu Shijiu who was repeatedly raising and lowering his axe among the sheep-headed crowd, and quickly said something to Zhu Ge beside him—
"Brother Zhu, you stay hidden! I'll go check over there!"
Zhu was startled and instinctively tried to grab his arm: "Where are you going—"
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Han gritted his teeth and ran out.
Brother Zhu: "..."
Zhu Ge's outstretched hand nearly grabbed a goat-headed man's arm, startling him so much that he took a step back in a panic—but it was too late.
The ram-headed man, who had almost been grabbed by the arm, finally noticed his presence. His neck cracked and twisted, and he lunged at him with a savage grin.
“…Meow…another…another sacrifice has come on its own…”
Terrified, Zhu Ge ran around aimlessly, with the goat-headed man chasing after him. Every time the goat-headed man touched something, his hoofed hands and feet would leave deep, bone-revealing marks.
Brother Zhu trembled as he watched—if this happened to him, there would be bloodshed on the scene!
Zhu was busy escaping, so he naturally forgot about A Jin, who was walking at the back.
Standing slowly by the wide-open door, Ah Jin straightened his hunched body little by little, as if his bones were being straightened bit by bit by something unseen.
The short, stocky crewman had once again become as strong and tall as he had been a few days ago. Under his dark, honest face, dense wool emerged from his pores, making him appear like a giant sheep standing upright.
In the corner, Shi Yuan saw He Lingling still covering her eyes with a wet, blood-soaked towel, and frowned, telling Sun Qin to throw the towel away.
Sun Qin paused for a second before doing as instructed, only to be startled by He Lingling's blood-red eyes.
"My God..." Sun Qin gasped, "Your eyes, are your eyes really that badly injured...?"
"Fortunately."
He Lingling herself could accept it: "If I could really know something about the past or future in reality, I'd probably lose half my life."
In the game, the only thing they did was make her bleed a little and go blind again... that's already a very, very good thing.
Shi Yuan casually pulled another towel from his system inventory and tossed it to He Lingling.
He Lingling couldn't see, but she could hear the voice. She awkwardly fumbled for the towel, then smiled and thanked him.
"Thanks--"
"He Lingling!"
The sudden male voice interrupted He Lingling.
