Infinitely Criticizing the Villain for Being Like My Ex-Boyfriend

"Have they left?"

In the forest next to the cave, two players who had been waiting for a long time were communicating in a low voice.

"Let's go." Long Zinan said, "I heard the sound of insects and birds. If the mermaid king is here, these animals won't dare to appear..."

"That's good... I'm really a little scared of the mermaid king. It gives me a very dangerous feeling."

Wang Fei breathed a sigh of relief.

They are all players who chose to part ways with Zhang Chunliang and others. Today they were willing to take the risk to come here because of an important piece of information found by Long Zinan.

"By the way, are you sure that the news is reliable?" Wang Fei looked at Long Zinan hesitantly.

"Of course." Long Zinan smiled, "Don't forget, my skill is exploring secrets. I heard the mermaid leader say with my own ears that the mermaid tribe has not yet produced a new mermaid king because the previous mermaid king was not completely dead."

"It's really haunting us." Wang Fei cursed in a low voice, "It's dead, why can't it just disappear? It's causing trouble for us..."

The five players who chose to quit the treasure hunting team were all people who had chosen Kist's camp. In the battle between Kist and the captain, their camp had clearly won, but they had not yet obtained the key to leave.

The five people didn't want to complete any damn treasure mission at all, they just wanted to leave the game smoothly.

The delay in getting the key made them extremely anxious, and they began to constantly guess which link had gone wrong.

Eventually, they settled on the answer.

The first prerequisite for getting the key is that the camp leader achieves the final victory, but what exactly does "final victory" mean?

Considering the huge mermaid corpse that Captain Will fused into himself at that time, players believe that the ultimate victory of the camp leader should be to become the "Mermaid King".

Because Kist had not yet become the "Mermaid King", their camp did not win.

"As long as the former Mermaid King's soul remains alive, Kister will never be able to become the Mermaid King."

Fortunately, Long Zinan used his skills to find a key clue -

As long as the corpse of the previous mermaid king is destroyed, its soul will also dissipate.

It is not known whether the Eye of Wisdom in the Tomb of the Head still poses a risk of infection. There are too many players going to the Tomb of Hands, and it is easy to discover them. After much calculation, only the remaining three tombs have the lowest risk. Therefore, the five players split into three groups, planning to destroy the corpses in these three tombs first.

Anyway, it is the treasures that are dangerous. As long as they don't touch those things, the chances of survival are still very high.

"Then shall we go in now?" Long Zinan put on her backpack, and her beautiful ponytail drew an arc in the air.

"Forget it...how about waiting a little longer?" Wang Fei was a little hesitant. He always felt that something was wrong.

"It's because of your indecisive character that they are worried about you completing the task alone, so I came here to accompany you." Long Zinan said helplessly, "Please, you are a grown man, how can you be more timid than me?"

"I'm not timid, I'm cautious. Have you forgotten that my skill comes with a 10% risk prediction..." Wang Fei was embarrassed by her words, "Also, don't you think it's strange? Such a sacred tomb, and it also contains important relics of mermaids, how is it possible that there are no protective measures until now, allowing players to come and go as they please..."

"That makes sense." Long Zinan frowned slightly and nodded gently, "But we have to destroy them before we can leave here... Besides, Zhang Chunliang and the others have already been in... It shouldn't be that dangerous, right?"

Wang Fei glanced at the deep cave entrance again and shuddered unconsciously. "To be honest, don't laugh at me. I think it is very strange that Captain Will, a human, could sneak onto the island and steal five sacred objects from the mermaids one after another... It's as if someone deliberately let him steal these things."

"You are too anxious, Xiao Feifei." Long Zinan sighed softly, "Do you know how many fish died because the mermaids were expelled from the Holy Island due to the loss of the holy object? Not to mention the fish that died at the hands of Captain Will, even the leader of Kenshahua almost died... Are they crazy? Why do they do such a thankless task?"

Wang Fei stammered twice, but he didn't know what to say. He reluctantly retorted: "In short, this island... is very strange."

"So we should leave faster." Long Zinan looked at him as if he were a fool. "How about this, I'll go in alone and you meet me outside. Don't worry, I won't laugh at you."

Wang Fei had a good impression of Long Zinan. He would never let his favorite player face danger alone. What's more, what she said made sense. Although the tomb was dangerous, it had been explored by others, so the risk would be smaller...

"Go!" Wang Fei gritted his teeth, took Long Zinan's backpack, put it on his shoulder, and walked into the cave first.

"That's more like it." Long Zinan showed an unfathomable smile on her face. She took a last look into the distance and followed Wang Fei in.

Wang Fei is the most cautious player and is likely to desert the battlefield. She must follow him closely to ensure that he is willing to... die.

……

The Fishtail Tomb is located in the Mirror Forest.

Every plant here is made of smooth mirrors, and their flawless and bright appearance can clearly illuminate every creature that breaks in here.

The ground of the mirror forest is extremely soft, like a top-grade sleeping mattress. The fine soil looks like colorful rays of light, shining on the mirror plants like a sweet and beautiful dream.

However, although this place is dreamy and dazzling, it is recognized by the mermaids living on the island as one of the most terrifying forbidden areas.

Ailant strolled here leisurely, his body woven from licorice vines was elegant and light, his eyes casually swept over the trees made of mirrors, and then stopped at one place.

It was an extremely tall Crystal King Tree. Each of its branches had golden crystal leaves, which looked breathtakingly gorgeous.

Ailant walked forward, picked the most dazzling golden leaf from the Crystal King Tree, and carefully inserted it into his arm.

It has collected a lot of such trinkets, and every time it wants to build a nest, it comes here to look for materials.

However, it was particularly cautious in this material collection activity, because it wanted to build the strongest and most beautiful nest, preferably one that would attract Liangliang at first sight and make him never want to leave.

"Help... Help me..." Countless faint voices came from not far away, as if thousands of people were shouting.

The voice was deep and strange, carrying a strong sense of fear. However, there were clearly tens of thousands of voices, but their tones were exactly the same, as if they were made by the same person.

Ailante paused while holding Silver Mirror Flower's claw, and then he suddenly remembered that he came here because Liangliang had given it a task.

It reluctantly let go of the struggling silver flower - the roots of the flower were nearly a hundred meters deep in the soil, and it would be difficult to pull it out for a while.

Forget it, Liangliang's matter is more important. Alante carefully marked the flower and prepared to come over and teach it a lesson later.

It happily pushed aside the mirror-like banana leaves and looked towards the place where the sound came from.

It was a mirror-like valley. The surrounding mountains were extremely smooth and gathered together, surrounding the valley bottom. This was the location of the tomb of the mermaid king's deep blue fishtail.

The area around the tomb should have been extremely flat, with only the boundless crystal mirror surface making it look solemn and lonely.

But now - its surroundings are extremely bustling.

Heads "grow" around it one after another, like some kind of parasitic warts, densely packed, there are tens of thousands of them.

"Help me - who will help me?"

Those heads howled in unison. If anyone saw their faces, they would find that they had exactly the same face.

Suddenly, a golden light flashed in the valley, and in the dazzling light, another head popped up on the ground.

"Don't grow any longer...Don't grow any longer..."

Cheng Yadan screamed in despair, saying that no one could understand how she felt now.

There were countless distorted versions of herself in her vision, and each head felt the same. She could not describe her own pain. She did not know which head she was. Her mind had long been wildly lost in this dense mass of limbs. She was going crazy.

Someone come save her, or kill her——!

Ailante looked at the pile of players' heads in front of him and tilted his head slightly.

It had encountered such a situation before. Once a small beetle accidentally broke into this mirror valley and was replicated into hundreds of billions of clones, making its body feel itchy all the time.

How did it finally get rid of these little reptiles?

Ailant thought for a moment in distress, then walked into the bushes made of skulls.

"Hello." Ailante looked at the disheveled player's head and greeted him gently and politely.

Its learning ability is so terrifying that as early as the second day after it transformed into a human form, it could communicate with humans fluently.

But in front of Zhang Chunliang, it still pretended to be so clumsy and childish, because it cunningly sensed that this would gain more of his love.

"Do you need help?" Alan asked.

In an instant, tens of thousands of heads stopped calling for help and looked at the tall and strange vine man.

"Save... me." A tear fell from the corner of Cheng Yada's eyes, and her face was twisted and hideous. "She is lying to me... That bitch... She is lying to me..."

Long Zinan told her that she had learned from the mermaids that the Fishtail Tomb was the safest place, and that there were many treasures there, and she could make a fortune after taking them out of the copy.

When she first came here, she was full of caution and suspicion, and was careful not to touch any flowers or plants.

But when passing by a section of Ginkgo Mirror Forest, an accident happened - a beautiful crystal leaf swayed and floated onto her shoulder.

She thought she would be attacked and mutated, but nothing happened.

Cheng Yada has the skill to identify treasures. From the moment she touched the leaf, she knew how precious this crystal leaf was - precious enough to be exchanged for high points that would allow her to live a worry-free life and buy many props that would allow her to pass the test safely.

Just pick up this one piece...she only needs one piece.

Cheng Yada walked towards the grave with the leaf in her arms, her heart pounding. Her thrilling journey was worth it to get this leaf.

But when she stepped into the valley, everything changed.

The leaf began to multiply infinitely, instantly pressing her body into the soft ground. Then, her head exposed on the ground also began to... replicate continuously.

Ailante looked at the woman's head and shook his head regretfully: "I can't save you. Your body has been turned into nutrients by them. If I pull you out now, your head will die instantly."

"It doesn't matter, this is fine, kill me now - kill me!" Cheng Yada screamed in despair.

In just a few minutes, she had added dozens more to her head.

Ailante glanced around nervously to make sure Zhang Chunliang would not suddenly appear, and then asked: "Are you ready?"

Naturally, it was very happy to help the poor creature, otherwise her head would grow uncontrollably and cause her to develop skin diseases.

"I have to make sure to kill each of your heads, but the senses in all your heads are connected, so it might be a bit painful."

If she missed any one, she would have to repeat the experience of being killed twice or even ten times.

Cheng Yada stared at Ailante blankly, saliva flowing uncontrollably from his mouth.

"Pop." Another head popped out from the ground.

She clenched her teeth and nodded with the last of her sanity.

Ailante raised his hand slightly, and the whole valley began to shake. An invisible giant hand appeared below the mirror valley. As it gently clenched its palm, the juicy skulls exploded with a "bang".

The red and yellow viscous liquid flowed all over the ground and was then absorbed by the soft soil.

A long sigh of satisfaction echoed through the valley.

Ailante carefully inspected the area and confirmed that there was no head left. He wiped his hands and prepared to go back to find the silver flower to settle the score.

It turned around and saw a tall figure standing motionless at the deep blue tomb of the Mermaid King, staring at it silently.

"Good afternoon, my extremely respected Father God and Holy Island." Kist's voice was hoarse and difficult.

Elant looked at it curiously, then imitated its tone and politely replied, "Good afternoon."

It found this greeting very interesting, so it practiced it silently in its mind.

"I must apologize for my cruel and evil behavior. I have disturbed your peaceful time." Kist said slowly, "But please allow me to defend my actions - this woman is deeply sinful. The crimes she committed will be reproduced as sin leaves after entering the valley. This is why she was buried in the ground."

Ailant nodded lazily. He didn't want to spend time trying to understand what the old fish meant. It smelled so bad, a rotten smell of impending death.

It wanted to go back to Liangliang as soon as possible and say good afternoon to him.

"The two humans who went to the Tomb of Internal Organs are also dead." Kist said to it gently, as if talking to himself, "So far, I have used the dirty blood of outsiders to fully pay tribute to my Deep Blue King who died in humiliation."

When Ailante heard the word "offal", he became alert.

It felt a little guilty. Liang Liang had originally asked it to monitor the players in the Tail, Internal Organs and Paws Tomb. He said that there would definitely be problems in these tombs today, so he asked Ailante to help it find the mastermind behind the scenes.

But after it entered the sparkling forest, it was so busy looking for decoration materials for their love nest that it forgot about this matter.

"You did it?" Ailante looked at Kist seriously.

Kist was stunned. This was the first time that the Holy Island responded to it. It was like a stubborn and indifferent god that always treated them as insignificant ants and turned a deaf ear to everything they did.

"...I did it." Kister replied quickly, "It was all done by me...It has nothing to do with the other fish..."

Xiao Ai got the answer and turned away contentedly.

"If - if you are willing, tomorrow the Mermaid Tribe Altar will hold a... grand event. You can come with your lover. I guarantee that he will like it very much..."

Kister looked at its brisk back and suddenly said.

“This will definitely be an unforgettable feast.”
