Rebirth: Infinite Train

Its condition was the same as Yizhihua had described. It had difficulty moving, some parts of its skin were ulcerated, and it looked weak.

"Ahem... Ahem!! Sorry to bother you all."

The turtle did not open its mouth, but strangely the sound was transmitted to everyone's mind.

Lin Yaoyao had experience, and this was how Moore usually communicated with her, so she was not panicked.

But there was a hint of uneasiness in her eyes as she looked at Grandma Turtle. Why did Grandma Turtle suddenly appear?

The others looked at the turtle with a hint of surprise and disbelief.

“Don’t be afraid of an old woman like me. I have no intention of hurting you. I just want to say that the fragment does belong to our mermaid tribe.

I didn't attack you intentionally last night. It was all because of the loss of the fragments of our queen's inner pearl, which caused the mermaids and our turtle tribe to be cursed.

That’s why I was in a hurry to find it back.”

Although Granny Turtle's voice was a little weak, her kind and slow tone made her seem believable and pitiful.

"I'm here to ask all the adventurers to help us get the fragments back. We, the mermaids and turtles, will repay you."

【Ding! 】

[Side quest: Granny Turtle's request is now officially open.]

[The inner pearl fragment of the mermaid queen has disappeared. Help Granny Turtle to retrieve the fragment. Those who complete the task will receive a mysterious gift from Granny Turtle.]

I don’t know if it was Lin Yaoyao’s illusion, but the moment Grandma Turtle issued the task, it seemed that a faint black gas emanated from its body.

The mermaids who were carrying it looked grim for a moment, but then they endured it immediately.

"Don't answer it!" Lin Yaoyao blurted out instantly.

Seeing that everyone around her was looking at her, her expression froze and her mind started working rapidly.

He turned to Ma and said loudly, "Don't accept her mission. She's full of lies. If we hadn't reacted quickly last night, we would have been killed by her monsters. I won't believe her anyway."

These words seemed to be spoken to Old Lady Ma, but they were actually spoken to other people.

For some reason, she felt more and more uneasy. Granny Turtle definitely didn't appear just to give out a simple task.

Since you can send out group tasks, why not send it earlier, but at this time?

"Yes, she was the one who instructed that monster last night. My brother died at the hands of that monster. It's better not to answer it."

"I got a big cut last night and it still hurts."

"Humph, you coward, there's no punishment anyway, so what if you accept it? Is there anyone who would refuse this extra option?"

"I think the top players might have taken it a little earlier, just to have less competition."

Seeing that many people below were beginning to be moved, Lin Yaoyao became anxious.

There's a fight between two parties in my mind.

One side: Just ignore it, let them do whatever they want.

Party Two: No, if too many people die, her gift package will definitely shrink, and who knows what good things she will miss.

The manor and two sets of skills were both given as gift packages.

After a difficult struggle, Lin Yaoyao took out the fragment from the space and pointed it in the direction of Grandma Turtle.

"Are you looking for this fragment?"

As soon as the fragment appeared, everyone's eyes were focused on it.

Yizhihua yelled, "You said you didn't steal it from me, but now I've caught you red-handed!!"

Lin Yaoyao ignored the flower and just looked at Granny Turtle. "You just want to get it, right?"

As soon as the fragments appeared, Granny Turtle immediately looked up at Lin Yaoyao.

That look was filled with a sticky and cold feeling.

"That's it, thank you so much for helping us find it."

Granny Turtle's voice once again echoed in the minds of everyone present.

"So the fragments have always been with Boss Yaoyao?"

"Tsk, then why should we accept the mission? The first person on the list can just hand the fragment to Granny Turtle and the mission will be completed."

Unexpectedly, Lin Yaoyao did not give the fragments to Grandma Turtle, but instead put them away again.

"I will give the fragments to the mermaids, but not to you, Granny Turtle~"

Grandma Turtle was stunned, and her glans with slightly rotten skin slowly rose up. Because they were of a different species, Lin Yaoyao couldn't understand her expression.

All I could hear was her innocent tone. "I don't understand what you mean. We, the turtle tribe, have lived together with the mermaid tribe for a long time. I have even served the mermaid tribe diligently for many years. What's the difference between handing it over to me and handing it over to the mermaid tribe?"

Everyone also didn't understand Lin Yaoyao's actions.

"What do you mean? I'm not smart enough. I can complete the task by just stretching out my hand. Why bother with all this?"

"Shh~ Just watch."

Lin Yaoyao continued, "Grandma Turtle, the mermaids are like this not because of the curse, it's all because of you, right?"

She didn't give Granny Turtle a chance to retort and continued.

"And you just issued the mission, just to put the curse on us, right?"

"You are also being cursed now, so you urgently need the fragments of the Mermaid Queen to suppress it. In the final analysis, it is not the Mermaids who need the fragments, but you."

Lin Yaoyao stood at the bow, leaning on the railing with his hands folded, and stared down at the turtle woman on the raft with cold eyes.

"I don't understand what you are talking about, but we must get back the fragments of the queen. Warriors, please accept my mission and help me get back the fragments!"

As Grandma Turtle finished her words, Lin Yaoyao's boat began to shake. The mermaids were attacking the bottom of her boat.

Lin Yaoyao gritted her teeth, it seemed that she couldn't stop them from taking the mission.

At the same time, a loud shout was heard. It was the wizard Barrett who came to the shore.

"Turtle Thirteen, how many more lives do you want to kill before you are satisfied?"

Our boat was parked at the shore, and everyone could hear clearly the sound of Barrett standing on the beach and roaring.

The passengers in the crowd who were originally eager to board Lin Yaoyao's boat restrained themselves and looked at Barrett.

"More than a decade ago, you contaminated me with a curse just to take away my treasure. Do you want to use the same method again now?"

His face was full of anger, his eyes were filled with sorrow, and his old, hunched body made people feel a little sympathetic towards him.

"No way, could it be that what Yaoyao said is true, Granny Turtle is cursing us by issuing the mission, will I become a monster like I was last night?"

"Don't scare me. I just accepted the mission. There are so many of us. How powerful must she be to curse so many of us at the same time?"

"That's right, it's impossible. Bangyi and Barrett said that on purpose because they were afraid that we would accept the mission."

"I'd better not answer it. I still trust Boss Yaoyao more."

"I won't take it either. Yaoyao Boss clearly has the fragment but he didn't give it to Granny Turtle. I don't think he's saying that because he's afraid we'll take the mission."

"Fuck! If you hadn't told me earlier, I would have answered it."
