Josh didn’t dare to look at the other teammates, afraid they would also be exposed.

The mermaid stared at her grimly, the bone whip coiled around her tightening continuously.

Josh stared into his eyes and suddenly sensed something was wrong.

Her buff seemed ineffective on him.

He wanted to eat her.

There were 15 minutes left on the clock; getting exposed now wouldn’t be good for them.

Josh looked at the mermaid: "I was just born, not knowing anything, so I ask around about things from when the King was here."

"You admire the King a lot?" The mermaid’s whip tightened.

Josh stared into his eyes, sensing something was amiss, suddenly said, "Of course, who wouldn’t admire the King? Don’t you? I noticed you seemed a bit gnashing when you mentioned the King."

The other creatures instantly looked over.

The bone whip tightened again.

Yuze was ready to act.

Josh noticed the bones on his face up close and suddenly said, "You’re not a mermaid at all!"

"Nonsense!" The bone whip around her waist tightened again.

Josh let out a muffled groan, a cold light flashed nearby, Yuze appeared, and his sharp claws shattered the bones wrapped around her.

Josh was rescued.

She pointed at the mermaid: "You’re a traitor! Not a mermaid, but another creature in disguise!"

The audience was in an uproar at her words.

"How dare you insult our High Priest! Damnable!" All the creatures bristled and turned hostile towards Josh.

Josh looked at the creatures: "You’re sea creatures, if you crowned mermaids as royalty, why can’t you tell a real mermaid from a fake? A real mermaid’s tongue is just like a human’s, but this High Priest standing in front of you has a tongue like a snake, definitely not a mermaid’s tongue!"

The creatures were dumbfounded.

The fat-headed fish pointed at her and asked: "You’re not a mermaid, how can you know a mermaid’s tongue is like a human’s?"

Josh retorted unceremoniously: "You’re not a mermaid either, how do you know a mermaid’s tongue isn’t like a human’s?"

"I..." The fat-headed fish was stumped, unable to speak.

The lead mermaid glared at her darkly: "You’re the troublemaker sent by humans, aren’t you? Red jellyfish have long been extinct in the sea, only on experimental human ships would they exist, you’re a traitor sent to spy!"

Josh squinted her eyes, her expression gloomier than the fish: "Who are you calling a traitor?"

"You! You’re the traitor!" The mermaid pointed at her, forcefully labeling her a "traitor": "Not only are you a traitor, but you’re also short! Our fish have never been this short, don’t think being a jellyfish can hide your shortcoming! Only humans, with their short genes, would be this short!"

Yuze raised an eyebrow: "..."

The other three teammates hiding among the creatures: "..."

Praying for the mermaids, amen.

"Heh..." Josh suddenly chuckled: "I’m short?"

Her tone carried a hint of sarcasm, her expression was calm, but it inexplicably made people feel eerie and chilled.

The surrounding monsters silently distanced themselves from her, not knowing why, but it filled them with an unexplained shiver.

The mermaid stared at Josh, the bone whip ready to move.

Before he could take action, Josh reacted first.

She swiftly summoned a longsword, wielding the sword in one hand and controlling the spider silk with the other.

In the narrow cave, the spider silk she laid had an absolute advantage.

But she didn’t need the advantage of the spider silk now.

The mermaid sensed her intent to attack, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes: "Ridiculous, do you think a little thing like you can fight me?"

Nearby, the fat-headed fish couldn’t help but whisper: "Is she mad, attacking the High Priest!"

"Could that little jellyfish really be a human spy? Who would dare attack the High Priest?"

Josh wielded the longsword, chanting, golden light surged from her hand, infusing into the sword.

The mermaid swung his bone whip towards her.

Josh slashed with her longsword, powerful golden light cut through, the light was substantial, slicing through, the sharp brilliance instantly split the mermaid in two.

But the light avoided his vital parts, merely severing an arm.

Instantly wary, the mermaid covered his arm and backed away.

The nearby fat-headed fish widened his eyes, shockingly looking at Josh, then at the mermaid’s arm on the ground, relaxing: "Couldn’t hit the mark, not a big deal, she might be nearsighted."

Another fat-headed fish: "... I think staying quiet would be better in situations like this. Otherwise, we might be in danger."

Naive fat-headed fish: "... I think you’re scaring me."

Another fat-headed fish: "I don’t care what you think, I care about what I think."

Naive fat-headed fish: "..."

The mermaid, provoked, roared, emitting crimson light over his body, his skull teeth chattering, making a clattering sound, other monsters momentarily stiffened, all uniformly facing Josh, ready to attack.

Josh swung her sword, not waiting for the mermaid to command, promptly slashed his head in half.

The mermaid let out a sharp shriek, the other monsters hesitated at the sight.

"Even the High Priest couldn’t win, should we still do it?"

"But the High Priest said to go."

"The High Priest isn’t going, just telling us to go!"

"So, should we or shouldn’t we?"

"Maybe we should wait and see."

The mermaid sensed the increasing power surging from Josh, realized things weren’t right, and turned to leave, but Josh lunged at him, slicing him completely in half, cutting off his fish tail.

The Mermaid King had told her, a mermaid’s heart isn’t in the chest, but in the tail.

To truly kill a mermaid, you need to find the heart beneath the fish tail.

The mermaid lay on the ground, incredulously looking at the person on him: "How is this possible? You..."

Josh hung on the spider silk, lightly jumped on his fish tail, stepped on it, and pulled out the longsword, "Don’t easily anger an enemy you don’t fully understand, fool."

As the longsword was extracted, the mermaid’s body completely disintegrated into powder.

Beneath the mermaid, a new corpse was revealed.

It was an octopus.

The octopus, not yet dead, squirmed, trying to escape.

The monsters screamed: "The High Priest turned from a mermaid to an octopus!"

"Oh my God, how can this be?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could the High Priest be such an evil creature as an octopus?"

"No, it can’t be! It’s unbelievable that an octopus could even exist in this world!"

"They’re lying! Could this be a trick by those people? That little jellyfish, holding a sword, how can such a weapon be wielded by a mere jellyfish?"

Josh extended a tentacle, electrocuting the fish monster speaking, knocking it to the ground, "Who says jellyfish can’t wield swords? Are you discriminating against us jellyfish?"

"...No." The fish monster replied weakly.
