Time passed gradually.
On this day.
After wandering around Dark Shadow Island for a while, Jiang Zhi suddenly heard a sound coming from the sky.
Her gaze changed, and she hurriedly went towards the altar.
She saw a person walk out of the cage on the altar.
He was barely alive, covered in wounds.
Jiang Zhi rushed up to the altar, disregarding the backlash of the violent force, and used her energy to heal the man.
Blood spewed from Jiang Zhi's mouth.
At the same time, the man gradually regained consciousness.
"Lord of the Continent..." Upon seeing Jiang Zhi, he was about to stand up and bow.
"No need." Jiang Zhi pressed the man back down, wiped the blood from her mouth, and looked at him with a pale face, "How did you get transported here too?"
"I failed my mission, I was discovered," the man said, lowering his head in self-reproach.
Jiang Zhi looked at the man, "Were you interrogated by him using the Strategy Whip?"
The man lowered his head in silence, which was as good as an admission.
Jiang Zhi was burning with rage.
Then she stood up angrily, "I must go back and deal with him!"
"But this Dark Shadow Island... can we even get out?" the man asked, looking around hopelessly.
Jiang Zhi calmed down as well.
"In any case, we can't just sit here and wait for death," Jiang Zhi said after pondering.
"First, we need to survive on this island." Jiang Zhi stood up, feeling dizzy from the backlash of the violent force, fortunately supported by her subordinate.
"How can we survive on this Dark Shadow Island?" the man asked.
"As long as we don't use spiritual power, we'll be fine," Jiang Zhi said. "We'll survive using mortal methods."
"Mortal methods? We don't need to practice abstinence from food?" the man asked.
"No need," Jiang Zhi said confidently. "Although the environment on this island is harsh, there's no shortage of food to fill our stomachs."
The man was puzzled, "There's food on this island?"
"At the edge of Dark Shadow Island is a Black Sea, rich in fish, enough for both of us to survive," Jiang Zhi said decisively. "Follow me."
"That's wonderful!" The man's face lit up with hope after hearing of a chance for survival in such dire circumstances.
The two arrived at the Black Sea.
The man seemed to recall something and suddenly said, "Lord of the Continent, I remember there's a legend that the Black Sea is full of poisonous creatures. Are you sure the fish there are edible?"
"Of course!" Jiang Zhi nodded.
"But doesn't the legend say...?" The man asked worriedly.
"The legend is false," Jiang Zhi said calmly.
After all, she had personally seen that Human Immortal boy use his own body to fish.
At this moment, they saw a beach full of fish bones.
There were also traces of a fire.
"It seems these fish are indeed edible," the man said, immediately feeling relieved. He couldn't help but ask, "Did you eat these, Lord of the Continent?"
Jiang Zhi glanced at the beach and shook her head, "Not me, it was a Human Immortal who was imprisoned here."
"Human Immortal?" The man didn't pay much attention to this information, confidently saying, "If even a Human Immortal can eat it, these fish must be easy to catch."
"I'll go get some," the man volunteered, rolling up his sleeves to look for bait.
"No need for bait, these fish are very stupid," Jiang Zhi stopped him, saying, "Just put your hand in the water, and countless fish will come to bite you."
Hearing Jiang Zhi's words, the man was surprised.
"Are there really such stupid fish?"
The man said half-believingly, walking to the edge of the water, looking into it.
The ink-black seawater made it impossible to see what was inside. This unknown gave a sense of inexplicable fear.
Squatting down, the man looked into the water. He cautiously extended his hand.
But he didn't dare to put it into the sea.
Just as his hand touched the surface, suddenly something jumped out!
The man, with his high cultivation, reacted extremely quickly and pulled his hand back in an instant.
After it passed, he belatedly realized it was a fish.
An extremely ugly fish, with a body covered in shiny black-green scales mixed with a foul odor, and a mouth full of sharp teeth.
With a "splash," the fish that hadn't caught anything fell back into the sea.
The man felt a bit scared, "Lord of the Continent, you don't mean this kind of fish, do you?"
Jiang Zhi nodded, "That's exactly it."
The man clenched his hands, somewhat hesitant, "This... fish looks a bit like a Shadow-Devouring Fish..."
The Shadow-Devouring Fish was a legendary, extremely fierce and poisonous man-eating fish in the dark sea of Dark Shadow Island.
Although it couldn't cultivate, its teeth contained deadly poison, and they were extremely numerous. Once they locked onto prey, they moved at incredible speed.
If countless Shadow-Devouring Fish bit a person, even the heavens couldn't save them. They could tear a person to shreds in an instant.
Because of their jet-black bodies, they were nearly impossible to detect in the Black Sea.
Protected by the dark sea, even immortals found it difficult to kill them with spiritual power.
If that fish just now was really a Shadow-Devouring Fish, then he had just had a brush with death.
The more the man thought about it, the more scared he became.
"I just told you, the legend is false," Jiang Zhi said carelessly. "There are no Shadow-Devouring Fish here at all."
"Even if there were, it's just a rumor. They're not actually poisonous," she said, walking to the edge of the water.
Her expression unchanged, she extended her hand, "If you don't dare, I'll do it myself."
Just as she was about to put her hand in, the man grabbed it.
"What do you mean, Lord of the Continent?" The man held Jiang Zhi's hand, "Do you think I really don't dare?"
With that, he unhesitatingly plunged his hand into the water.
"Hiss!!!"
The man closed his eyes and bit his teeth, sucking in a cold breath.
This really fucking hurts...
Intense pain instantly swept through the man's body, but to show Jiang Zhi his loyalty, he gritted his teeth and endured it.
After several breaths, the man couldn't bear it anymore.
With a pale face, he said, "My hand should be covered in fish!" With that, he lifted his hand.
On his bloody hand, forget about fish, there wasn't even any flesh left.
Only white bone remained.
Black smoke was still rising from the bone.
Because the seawater was so dark, they hadn't even seen the color of blood.
The man was dumbfounded, and so was Jiang Zhi.
The next moment, the man's entire body began to turn black, his eyeballs bulging.
As he fell, he looked at Jiang Zhi in disbelief, "You... did you deliberately... plan to... harm me..."
His broken words stopped, and the man fell down.
He had become a corpse.
Jiang Zhi stood stunned on the beach, her eyes wide open, looking at the man's corpse in disbelief.
The man's corpse lay by the sea, and the waves of the Black Sea washed over it.
When the waves receded, only a skeleton remained.
A couple of familiar fish were frantically biting at the white bones.
Seeing that the waves were about to wash over, Jiang Zhi retreated repeatedly.
Why?!
She couldn't understand...
How could a person suddenly be gone...
Didn't that Human Immortal say these fish weren't poisonous???
And she had clearly seen him use his own body to fish!
Where had it all gone wrong?
She was filled with regret and remorse, as a vibrant life had been lost right before her eyes.

] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
Heart] Chen Yi traversed the cultivation world for eight hundred years, charging his way to the Tribulation Transcendence stage. Just as he was outwitting his 81st Heavenly Tribulation to ascend to immortality, he was suddenly pulled into a chat group called the "Multiverse Transmigrators Support Group." To his surprise, the group was filled with nothing but fresh-faced newbies who had just transmigrated. [Help! I transmigrated into a disgraced concubine in the cold palace, and the tyrant emperor is about to execute me!] [I ended up as a cannon-fodder villain, and the protagonist is still chasing me—WTF!] [I woke up as the protagonist’s father, but I’m about to be sacrificed in a ritual! What do I do? Urgent!!!] Chen Yi stared at the chaotic flood of desperate pleas in the group and fell into deep thought. "Seriously? You drag me into a newbie transmigrator chat group… only after I’m one step away from becoming an immortal?"
