Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 10: Triggering a Side Quest

Not far away, a group of five people: "As expected, she must be more than just an F-grade."

"Really playing the pig to eat the tiger, what a cunning person!"

"Luckily, we didn’t act rashly, or else we’d be the ones dead now."

The bullet comments were also confused, not understanding why such a powerful octopus monster was repelled by Josh, someone with only 3 attack power.

Josh had already retrieved her hand after scaring off the octopus, and naturally, no one had the chance to see the Mermaid Scale hidden between her fingers.

She had plucked this from a mermaid while underwater, taking advantage of a moment when he wasn’t paying attention.

These octopuses and dolphins are unusually terrified of mermaids, and would even rather float on the surface than sink a little bit, showing the intimidating power of mermaids.

That’s why after provoking the octopus, she brought out the Mermaid Scale and hid it between her fingers.

The octopus, with its sensitive tentacles, shrank into a corner in fright upon sensing the mermaid’s aura, trembling as it also harbored some kind of resentment in its eyes.

This also confirmed one of Josh’s theories.

She didn’t bother with the octopus anymore and directly had everyone start a fire on stage to grill the octopus tentacles for eating.

Josh secretly opened Pinduoduo again to exchange for some simple seasonings.

Soon, the fragrant aroma of barbecue wafted across the entire stage.

The little monkey in the cage rubbed its sleepy eyes and drooled while staring at Josh.

The crowd hesitated, looking at her: "These things have touched human blood, we can’t eat them..."

Josh chuckled: "Sure we can, it’s been cleaned."

She opened her mouth and took a bite of the octopus tentacle, the chewy and tender texture was grilled to perfection, delicious beyond words.

After eating more than half of a tentacle, she felt her strength barely recovering a little.

Suddenly, a slight noise came from the nearby cage.

The little monkey, drawn by the aroma, was timidly watching her.

Noticing Josh’s gaze, the little monkey quickly closed its eyes and pretended to sleep.

If Fuer found out it was awake during the day, it would be beaten terribly.

Josh picked a part of the octopus tentacle without chili and brought it to the edge of the cage, whispering: "Eat up."

The little monkey dared not move, closing its eyes even tighter.

Josh smirked and brought the octopus tentacle closer: "Open up."

Smelling the aroma, the little monkey opened its mouth and took a big bite with its eyes closed, chewing twice and swallowing it.

[Ding! Congratulations on triggering the side quest, rescue the circus’s little monkey.]

Soon, it opened its eyes wide in surprise, sneakily looked around, and moved closer to Josh outside the cage: "Delicious! Delicious!"

This little monkey can talk?

A glint flashed in Josh’s eyes, realizing the gaze from a few people not far away, she shielded the little monkey and lowered her voice: "Are you hungry? Want more?"

The little monkey nodded obediently.

Josh: "Then you have to answer a few questions for me."

The little monkey hesitated for a moment but still nodded.

Josh asked: "Why don’t you dare to snatch food in the water?"

Hearing the word "water," a look of terror flashed in the little monkey’s eyes: "The water, can’t go near it! It will kill us!"

Josh feigned confusion: "Why kill you? If you don’t jump in, you won’t drown."

She handed the little monkey a bit more of the octopus tentacle.

The little monkey quickly bit into it, and after finishing it said: "It will kill us! The Mermaid King, the Mermaid King is terrifying, if he finds us, he’ll eat us, can’t go near the water!"

A glint of comprehension flashed in Josh’s eyes, but she pretended to be puzzled again: "But I saw him locked underwater, who locked him up?"

The little monkey glanced at the octopus, which was watching it warningly not far away.

In fear, the little monkey shrunk down, not daring to speak.

Josh followed its gaze and saw the octopus not far away.

The octopus had calmed down and was watching Josh warily.

Josh ignored him and tugged on the little monkey’s chain: "Did Fuer lock you all in here? How can I save you out?"

[Ding! Congratulations, you’ve gained 20 points of favor with the little monkey, keep it up.]

The little monkey hesitantly looked at her: "You can’t save us, unless you can..."

"Why are you telling her all this?" a lion nearby opened one eye secretly, cautiously watching Josh: "Humans are such cruel creatures, isn’t what we are suffering thanks to humans? Yet you still dare to trust humans? The stuff she gave you might be poisoned, and you’ll die after she’s done with you!"

On hearing this, the little monkey shrank back in fear, not daring to approach Josh again.

Josh didn’t blindly approach, she just spent some points to exchange for a few ointments on Pinduoduo: "This is an ointment for stopping bleeding, if you apply it, your wounds will heal a bit faster."

The little monkey hesitated, watching her, still not coming closer.

Josh turned away and continued grilling octopus.

One tentacle is over ten meters long, more than enough to satisfy her.

She still has a fever and must replenish her strength.

The little monkey saw her back turned and cautiously shuffled over, picked up the ointment and sniffed it, confirmed there was no problem, and applied it to itself.

The lion, seeing this, just snorted disdainfully and turned its face away.

The octopus suddenly raised its tentacle high and swung it down hard on Josh.

Everyone embraced Josh to dodge.

The octopus tentacle slammed onto the stage, waking up Fuer in the backstage.

Fuer, waking up angry from the noise, rushed out, waving a whip: "Who’s making trouble?!"

The octopus quickly pretended to close its eyes, but it couldn’t escape Fuer’s sight.

Fuer lashed out mercilessly: "Behave yourself, you idiot! Don’t think about betraying me while I’m asleep, I’ll make your life a living hell!"

Her whip struck the octopus’s eye.

The octopus let out a painful howl, not daring to resist, only trembling as it nodded: "Master, rest assured, I wouldn’t dare."

Fuer sneered at it scornfully: "Who knows if you dare or not, you beast with a track record!"

Josh had already shrunk to the side the moment Fuer appeared.

After scolding the octopus, Fuer glanced at Josh and the five gathered people not far away: "You’d better behave. Daytime is for sleeping, if you want to do something while I’m asleep, you’d better give up. Letting the circus animals escape will come at a cost!"

The last sentence was directed at Josh.

Josh didn’t reply.

After Fuer went back in, she stood up.

All the monsters here obeying Fuer’s commands suggests Fuer is the strongest here.

She wondered, compared to the mermaid below, who is stronger?

The mermaid said, find three pieces of equipment and then come to him...

And yet, the game’s condition for passing is to gather three pieces of equipment.

Once you have the equipment, you can pass directly, so why go to him?

[Ding! Congratulations on triggering the hidden mission "Rescue the Mermaid King."]

So that’s it.

The bullet comments exploded again.
