At this moment, Gu Ziyan was also gawking at her, so the two gazes met, but Yan Ziyuan turned her line of sight immediately, and contemplated the water far away.
The second group of musicians have been clearly defeated so the next team had to get prepared.
All of a sudden, Ye Feng stepped forward: “Pardon me!”
After that, he shot silver rays from his fingers as he rushed before the third team’s eyes.
His speedy figure looked like a ghost. What appeared from his hands was even quicker and stranger, catching everyone off guard as they stared at his hand gestures. Everyone in the third group just felt some pain in their ears, a buzz and then nothing!
“You…!”
“What are you doing?!”
Those eight people cried out.
Ye Feng used some water to write a few words on the ship with his fingers: “I have sealed your acupoints and you will remain deaf for one day before fully recovering.”
Everyone suddenly realized what had happened and were grateful for that.
Gu Ziyan glanced at Ye Feng, in appreciation. In this critical moment, being deaf was way better than not being it. Moreover, it would last for one day only.
Being deaf for one day in exchange of victory was worth it!
Since it was an urgent moment, Gu Ziyan also wrote a few sentences with water. He told them to be cautious and those eight participants nodded their heads.
Because some people were psychologically weak and were afraid they wouldn’t even be able to hold their zithers, Gu Ziyan had to change with the other two players temporarily. In addition, two more musicians were dizzy, so the rest was also rearranged.
Very quickly, the third team finally trod in the cabin.
If they lost again with the last method they could think of, then they might not have any other opportunities to win anymore…
Nervousness… A tension they never felt before!
The heavy atmosphere outside the cabin seemed about to congeal. A minute now became endless.
Since their comrades were deaf already, then they couldn’t possibly hear and imitate that red clothed evildoer’s plucking, right??!
Yan Ziyuan tightly clenched her fists, her palms sweaty.
Suddenly, her small hand was gripped by a bigger one: “With me here, don’t be afraid.” The voice was steady, making her strangely more strengthened.
She turned her head and caught Ye Feng’s pitch-dark eyes, dumbfounded, but feeling much more comforted in her heart.
Thus she slightly nodded her head, as if trying to convince both of them: “We will survive!”
Right! The majority of the passengers present here were young and in the blooming period of their age, about to face the wind, so who wanted to die in such an obscure way?
Five minutes later, the people waiting outside were completely desperate.
The third team was obviously deaf, but persisted for only two, three minutes, and then the melody merged with Xue Yilan’s…
Gu Ziyan stiffened, also despondent and unable to come up with other solutions.
When the third group finished performing and Xue Yilan pressured the next group to get in, another player passed out intimidated. In the end, there were seven people left.
The quantity couldn’t satisfy Xue Yilan’s conditions, because according to his previous words, if the fourth team wasn’t yet ready, then he would straightforwardly take their lives.
Ye Feng abruptly stepped forward, holding a zither he grabbed from one of the people who fainted and briefly exclaimed: “I will go!”
Gu Ziyan gazed at him, startled: “You can play?”
Ye Feng didn’t answer him, rather he stepped inside the cabin in large strides.
Gu Ziyan and company were obliged to keep up the pace.
This was the last group already, hence Yan Ziyuan could finally have a clear view of the cabin’s inside.
Xue Yilan, whose robes were red, was sitting right in the middle…
