Xiao Tangqiu felt extremely anxious but his body was out of control. He kept walking towards the rail against his will. One hand had already grasped the fence, and he was about to go over at any moment.

What made him even more despaired was that he suddenly saw that a “mermaid” had clung to the edge of the deck at some point and could climb onto the deck at any moment.

Half of his body hung over the rails while the “mermaid” also poked out its head, climbed to the edge of the deck, and looked up at him.

Xiao Tangqiu’s heart was broken. If this “mermaid” really was beautiful, then it would’ve been fine. He could be considered enviable to have died under a beauty. But in a situation like this, he was really unwilling! …Wait, no! Even if there was a beautiful face, he was not willing! Only if it was a face like Shen Yuan’s would he have not died in vain!

Just as thoughts frantically rushed through his mind, the “mermaid” looking up at him suddenly tilted its head and grinned, revealing a long, barbed tongue and a mouth full of thin jagged fangs and slowly moved towards him.

Xiao Tangqiu’s hair stood on end as the “mermaid” got closer and closer to him. He even smelled a faceful of the blood and rancid odor and he could clearly see the jagged teeth within its mouth. He was almost suffocated by the carrion remaining in it.

At this moment, maybe it was mysophobia that gave him strength, he actually suddenly resisted the temptation of the mermaid’s singing. He leaned back and accidentally lost his balance and fell heavily on the deck.

Although there was a sharp pain in his tailbone, he temporarily got rid of the control of the mermaid’s song and laid on the deck, and tried his best to crawl towards the cabin.

The “mermaid” certainly wouldn’t let Xiao Tangqiu go so easily. Seeing Xiao Tangqiu temporarily get rid of its song control, it didn’t feel annoyed at all. Instead, it climbed onto the deck towards Xiao Tangqiu. It crawled slowly like a snake, leaving a trail of seawater and fishy slime.

Xiao Tangqiu crawled and turned his head in a panic. The “mermaid” crawled on its forelimbs and forcefully dug its sharp claws into the deck to move forward. The harsh noise made him frightened. He fully believed that the sharp claws could tear apart his throat easily.

At this moment, another person staggered onto the deck. When he looked up, it turned out to be that coward!

The dazed look of the coward made it obvious he was seduced and controlled by the ethereal mermaid song, his self-consciousness gone, and subconsciously walked towards the deck.

“Run!” Xiao Tangqiu yelled with all his strength, trying to wake the coward. But no matter how loud he screamed, the coward remained unmoved, as if he could no longer hear him.

A “mermaid” chased behind him and now there was baggage dragging him down. Xiao Tangqiu felt very anxious, he didn’t even carry any weapons on his body… At this moment, he suddenly noticed that a silver fork was dropped underneath the dining table nearby. He crawled over and picked up the silver fork.

Although forks were not very useful, in this situation, it was better than nothing!

Xiao Tangqiu held a fork and was about to turn around to deal with the “mermaid” chasing after him, but he watched the coward rush towards the “mermaid” with a drooling smile on his face, laughing idiotically, “Beauty! Beauty! Great beauty!”

The original prey of the “mermaid” was Xiao Tangqiu, but now some prey took the initiative to deliver themself to the door, so of course it did not refuse. It grinned at the coward, revealing its long, barbed tongue.

But the coward couldn’t see it, still full of wretched **, “Beauty! Beauty! Beautiful beauty! Let me kiss you!”

Xiao Tangqiu was shocked. How could that coward regard this terrifying-looking “mermaid” as a top beauty? Was he blind or was that guy blind?

…Wait, was this an illusion created by the “mermaid”? And what he saw was the real appearance of the “mermaid”?

As he fell into confusion, the coward had already laughed and rushed towards the “mermaid”, stroking the body of the “mermaid” with a dirty smile, and complimented, “So smooth and tender, so bouncy…”

However, in Xiao Tangqiu’s eyes, he only saw the coward’s hand touching the hard and rough scales of the “mermaid”, and his fingers were even covered with fishy mucus.

“Beauty, let me kiss you…” The coward pursed his mouth and leaned toward the “mermaid”, who opened its mouth at him, revealing jagged fangs.

The coward looked on dreamily, “Smells so good… is this a woman’s fragrance?”

Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t bear to look any longer. The next second, the coward pursed his lips and kissed firmly, obviously intending to give his fantasy beauty a hot and lingering kiss.

He tightly grasped the silver fork in his hand, and taking advantage of when the “mermaid” was attracted by the coward, he rushed forward and stabbed the fork at the back of the “mermaid”‘s head… But he didn’t expect the fact that the back of the monster’s head was also covered with hard scales. His hands went numb from the impact and the silver fork fell out from his hands.

As soon as the silver fork hit the ground, the coward who was kissing the “beauty” screamed and suddenly fell backward, “Ahhhhhh!”

Xiao Tangqiu looked up and saw that the coward’s mouth was full of blood, and even the gap between his teeth was covered with blood. The place where the tongue was supposed to be was empty. The tongue was gone!

He was shocked. And when he looked down, he saw that that guy’s tongue fell on the deck, dripping with blood, apparently just bitten off by the monster!

The coward obviously wanted to say something, but after losing his tongue, he could only utter guttural ah-ugh syllables, no longer able to speak.

Xiao Tangqiu could only imagine that if he was caught by this monster earlier, this would’ve been his end. He looked at the monster stiffly and saw that the monster’s grinning face and mouth were full of blood.

The coward screamed and rushed towards his tongue, as if he wanted to pick up his tongue and put it back in his mouth. But the monster moved a step faster. It picked up the severed tongue with its sharp claws and tossed it into its mouth to chew and eat.

“Ahhhhhhh!” The coward collapsed in despair. He sat down on the ground, frozen in fright as he watched the monster crawling towards him. He could only watch wide-eyed as the monster lunged down at him again.

The monster pounced on the coward like a beauty throwing herself into his arms. But even if the coward hadn’t got a glimpse of its deceptive appearance, he was already terrified by the pain in his mouth. Shaking all over, he could only helplessly widen his eyes.

The monster grinned and threw itself on the coward. The coward screamed instantly, followed by a terrifying chewing sound.

Xiao Tangqiu went half-numb, but he bit the bullet and picked up the silver fork again, ready to go.

Soon, the monster crawled away from the coward. The coward had not died yet, but his throat had been mawed open, and he was barely able to breathe. The monster licked its lips, turned, and rushed towards Xiao Tangqiu.

Xiao Tangqiu waited for an opportunity as the monster rushed up and he violently stabbed the silver fork into the monster’s eyes. The monster’s eyes were the only place that was not covered by scales, and the eye socket was immediately pierced by the silver fork. It suddenly dropped and rolled on the floor in pain.

Suddenly, the coward got up and ran back into the cabin. Xiao Tangqiu also tried his best to run back, but the monster immediately caught up.

The monster was berzerk and was much faster than before. Its sharp claws screeched against the deck as it chased up like lightning. The coward looked back and was terrified. In a hurry, he pushed Xiao Tangqiu out.

Xiao Tangqiu was practically defenseless as he was suddenly pushed to the ground. The monster caught up in a blink of an eye.

Seeing the monster’s grinning mouth close in, Xiao Tangqiu grabbed the silver fork without hesitation and stabbed it!

The monster let out a piercing screech in pain and released Xiao Tangqiu.

But before Xiao Tangqiu could breathe a sigh of relief, several more monsters climbed onto the deck, some surrounding Xiao Tangqiu with enthusiasm, while others caught the coward who was about to escape into the cabin.

Compared to the uninjured Xiao Tangqiu, the bloody smell of that coward was more appealing to these hungry monsters, and the ferocious “mermaids” rushed towards him without hesitation.

One of the monsters bit off half of his face without hesitation. He screamed loudly, but soon he could not even scream because his throat was brutally torn apart.

Xiao Tangqiu was frightened. The monsters surrounding him were full of impatience and his only weapon was still stuck in the eye socket of the first monster!

Just as Xiao Tangqiu fell into despair, he suddenly heard a voice in his mind, “Detecting that the host is in danger. Do you want to start the special skill ‘Sexy Host’s Live Stream?”

His heart was shaken, and he immediately chose to turn it on. The next second, a dense burst of chat scrolled past his vision.

“I’m too disillusioned by the appearance of this mermaid! Mommy, I don’t believe in fairy tales anymore!”

“This is the so-called ugly sweet song? The singing is still good! But this kind of appearance can only be accepted by the strong!”

“This mermaid’s looks… I can!”

“What kind of thriller statement is that?!”

Xiao Tangqiu, “…”

Just as he was dumbfounded, a useful barrage appeared.

“I heard that only weapons made of mermaid skulls can deal with mermaids… Host, jiayou! Work hard today, too!”

A heavy dagger suddenly fell into his hand.
