"Ah!" Zhusha couldn't help but scream. He knelt on the ground, and a piece of flesh on his arm was cut off by a dagger.
Blue Algae was the instigator. He handed the dagger to the person behind him and left without expression.
Behind him was Bai Ya.
Bai Ya took the dagger, gritted his teeth, and stood in front of Cha Sha.
He looked down at Chusha. This was a scene he would never have imagined in normal times - the high-ranking big shot, the priest of Emperor Shengming, Chusha, actually knelt in front of a commoner like himself!
Sometimes, reality is often more absurd than fantasy.
Cha Sha was already scarred and covered in blood. The flesh on his body was almost shaved off, exposing his pale bones, but he couldn't die!
The painful torture made Chasha foam at the mouth and his expression became distorted.
"Don't hesitate, kid, let's do it." Lan Zao didn't go far, he stood aside and urged Bai Ya.
All Bai Ya had to do was grit his teeth and raise the dagger above his head.
But his movements were frozen here. He hesitated, his arms trembled, and the dagger he held in his hands trembled even more.
When Chusha saw this scene, he suddenly laughed.
He had no hair, his vitality was almost exhausted, and his whole body was extremely old. His face was covered in blood at the moment, and the wounds on his face were pulling apart, revealing his pale cheek bones, which made him look particularly hideous and terrifying.
With an extremely weak voice, he spoke hoarsely: "Hahaha, our young man is scared! You should be scared, because you know that this stab has killed me, and you will commit a capital crime! You will become a wanted criminal in the empire, a member of the Shengming Sect.
Enemy. Your sins are so serious that even if you are killed, you cannot pay for it. Your whole family must be killed in order to appease the empire's anger!"
"Come on, do it, kill me and you will be damned! Hahahaha!"
Bai Ya became more and more hesitant, and his whole body was almost shaking.
"Shut up! You lunatic." Lan Zao shouted angrily, "It's because of you that we are in dire straits. Bai Ya, do it!"
Bai Ya's face turned pale, and he really couldn't do it.
In the past twenty years of his life, he had been taught by everyone around him not to offend noble people, otherwise the consequences would be extremely serious. Now, he wants to kill Zhu Sha!
He could risk his life to rescue Cang Xu among the lizards, but he could not kill the scab in front of him.
"I can't do it..." Bai Ya trembled, her voice was weak, and she almost cried.
Almost everyone had killed Zhu Sha, and now countless eyes were focused on Bai Ya.
Lan Zao was a little anxious and wanted to step forward to help, but was persuaded by Zong Ge: "Let him do it by himself. Only if he takes action himself can he be considered one of his own."
"Do it!" Lan Zhao suddenly roared.
Bai Ya's body trembled violently as if he had been shocked by an electric shock, and he stabbed with both arms subconsciously.
The dagger plunged deeply into the right side of Chasha's neck and into the latter's trachea.
Blood slowly gushes out, and blood froth emerges from Chasha's mouth. He laughs: "You are finished, your whole family is finished. You sinners must all die! I'm just taking a step first, I'm waiting for you, I
Waiting for you, hehehe..."
Bai Ya was so lost that he subconsciously let go of the handle of the dagger, shook his head continuously, stepped back, then landed on his butt and fell to the ground.
The breath of Zhusha gradually disappeared, but the laughter continued to expand strangely.
The bright red blood spurted out, flowing more and more, gradually changing color, from bright red to deep blue.
The blue blood directly flooded the entire fourth layer, making a roaring sound like a tide, and instantly swept Bai Ya to the deepest part of the seabed.
The next moment, Bai Ya woke up suddenly.
He was panting heavily, with cold sweat all over his body, and then he realized: "It's a nightmare again."
He covered his pale face. After a while, his breathing gradually calmed down, but his mood still did not calm down.
He glanced out the window.
The huge round window is made of glass-like material and is up to one meter thick.
Outside the round window is a dark sea.
Bai Ya got off the hammock.
The hammock is tightly tied to two strong metal poles at one end and the other. Under the hammock is a wooden box, and Bai Ya's clothes are placed on the wooden box.
Bai Ya took away the clothes, opened the wooden box, and carefully took out the ink, pen and parchment.
He half-crouched on the ground and began to write a letter with the long blue magical light on the ceiling above his head.
Dear Miss Nishihagi:
I once again woke up in the Strange Fish.
It has been five days since we escaped from the Mysterious Island on the Monster Fish.
We are still searching for the Jade Golden Coffin. This artifact was thrown into the portal before, and only Zhusha knows its specific location.
Zhusha is already dead, killed by me.
I feel so miserable about this!
I'm scared.
What Zhusha said to me in the dream, I know is right. I have committed murder, and I am also a priest and a big shot in the empire!
I don't want to do this, but I have no choice. I really have no choice.
Everyone else has taken action, but I have not, so I will be abandoned by them.
Of course, I have to admit that the moment I stabbed it, I felt a sense of excitement in my heart.
But after so many days passed and I calmed down, my heart was filled with regret and worry.
I originally wanted to become a knight and serve the empire. But now, I have become a fugitive and wanted by the empire. Fate... has played a trick on me.
Sometimes, I even feel desperate.
The empire is so powerful. One day, I will be caught, bow my head and confess my crime. I will be hanged or beheaded, and my family will suffer because of me.
Please believe me, noble Miss Nishihagi, I really did not intend to kill Father Chasha. Even if he abandoned us to escape for the artifact.
Master Zhenjin was not killed by us, he has been imprisoned in the Strange Fish. He is the hope of many of us!
We hope to use him to negotiate with the leader of the Hundred Needles Clan. Through the influence of this former southern nobleman and the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce, we can open up the links among the higher-ups of the empire and exonerate us.
Everyone knows that fighting against the Empire is foolish and hopeless.
We are all human beings, at least we have human blood flowing through us. Where can we go after leaving the empire?
All this is really a trick of fate.
I believe that even the leader never really wants to take action against Father Chasha. But there is really no other way. If we don't kill him, we won't be able to escape.
Thank you, Miss Nishihagi. Writing to you always calms down my mood quickly.
Also please forgive me, I cannot send these letters to you. I must keep them confidential!
As he wrote this, Bai Ya stopped writing and heard a huge noise.
First there was the sound of metal opening and closing, and then there was the sound of sea water rushing out.
This noise was not unfamiliar to Bai Ya at all, and he immediately realized: "It's the adults who are back!"
He quickly stood up, picked up his sword, walked out of this corner, and came to the narrow corridor made of metal.
He walked through this corridor and just came to a metal door.
The metal door quickly opened, revealing a spacious hall inside. There were still some water stains on the floor of the hall. In the center stood the young Beast Knight boy and Zong Ge.
"Captain, Master Zong Ge, you have finally retrieved the sapphire gold coffin. Great, Master Zidi is saved!" Bai Ya was overjoyed when she saw the gorgeous coffin carried by Zong Ge.
The two of them nodded to Bai Ya, left the entrance hall, passed through the passage, and entered deeper into the Strange Fish.
Deliberately delayed and squandered by Zhusha, the mana pool was almost completely drained, and it was impossible to teleport all the people, let alone take away the artifact. But with the help of the tower spirit, everyone found the alchemy ship.
If you think about it carefully, it's not surprising.
Since the Mysterious Island is not a demiplane, but is hidden in the ocean, it is normal for ships to come and go frequently.
Soon after, in the alchemy room, the alchemy formation surrounding the sapphire gold coffin was completed.
Ta Ling's voice sounded.
"Start testing the alchemy array, 10%, 20%... 100%. The alchemy array is accurate."
"Start transferring mana, and the alchemy array starts counting down 5, 4, 3, 2, 1."
A slight buzzing sound came out, and lines, straight or curved, lit up on the walls, floor, and ceiling of the alchemy room. These lines slowly extended, left the plane, and condensed in mid-air, forming a hollow sphere.
Finally, the lines converged on the sapphire gold coffin in the center.
The light from the magic circle became a little dazzling, and the sapphire gold coffin began to tremble slightly.
As the Monster Fish consumed a large amount of mana, green liquid brewed in the coffin.
Zidi's body has been placed in the coffin, and under the gaze of the young man, Zong Ge and others, it is gradually submerged in the green liquid.
Soon after, the alchemy circle stopped and the sapphire gold coffin calmed down. Part of the green liquid produced was absorbed by Zi Di's body, but most of it remained.
Zidi did not wake up.
This result was very disappointing to everyone.
The stand-in boy's eyes dimmed.
"Yes, you killed, killed the president of my family!" Fat Tongue was the most excited. He couldn't accept this fact and grabbed Cang Xu's collar.
His beard was strangled so hard that he coughed repeatedly: "Calm down, as I said before, I am not completely sure."
"Okay, let it go. We all agreed to Cang Xu's proposal at the time." The young man sighed.
Fat Tongue was still very excited, but Lan Zao pulled him over and rescued Cang Xu.
Fat Tongue cried.
The young man reached out and touched Zidi's cheek, feeling the delicateness and warmth: "The green liquid is still effective, and her physical injuries should be completely healed."
"This green liquid is very thin, and the alchemy array we hastily prepared cannot fully exert the effect of the sapphire gold coffin. Perhaps we should raise more magic materials to build a better alchemy array."
But Cang Xu shook his head: "According to what the tower spirit said, even the alchemy array of the war dealer has no rebirth effect. I think the problem should arise in the soul of President Zidi."
"soul?"
"Yes. President Zidi had a confrontation with Zhusha on the fourth floor, which caused great mental damage..."
Boom boom boom!
Before Cang Xu finished speaking, he was interrupted by a series of loud noises.
Ta Ling's voice became urgent: "Warning! Warning! Three enemy ships appeared in the southeast sea. The enemy's number and strength are unknown."
"Meet the enemy!" the young man ordered, and the people around him immediately responded.
