Ais and Flamescale are both shrunken now, and their heights appear to be almost the same. The two sea beasts, one of ice and one of fire, stand together, as if they represent two opposing forces, a natural antithesis.

"Ais! Let it burn." Suddenly, Gu Xi said calmly.

"Plop plop~ But continuing would be a waste of time."

Although Ais didn't understand, he still gave up trying to stop Yanlin's actions.

Flame Scale paid no heed to the interaction between the human and the beast, focusing solely on the great cause of burning.

The raging fire spreads across the sea, and the once deep ocean seems to be turning into a hellish place.

Gu Xi stood atop the ice birdcage, billowing hot air rising from it, contrasting sharply with a wall of ice. A sea, two extremes; being simultaneously in ice and hell was no pleasant experience.

"Ais, let's go down first."

Now that she had finished what she needed to do, she decided to leave. Ais nodded slightly, glancing at Yanlin before departing.

Gu Xi sped down the spikes, while Ai Si descended on the ice pillars that resembled an elevator.

As she approached the ice, Gu Xi leaped off the spikes. She had originally intended to return to the ship, but then something occurred to her. She beckoned to Ai Si and said:

“The remains inside have been dealt with. It’s not right to keep this area of ​​the sea sealed off anymore. Thaw the ice bird cage.”

"Puff puff? But isn't the Flame Scale still burning?"

Ais thought she had misheard and asked in confusion.

"Let it burn its fire, we'll thaw ours, there's no conflict."

Gu Xi stood at the foot of the ice wall and looked up. The ice wall, which blocked out the sky, covered the entire sea area. Even if Ai Si withdrew her spiritual power, it would take a long time for it to melt naturally.

"What it needs is to vent its hatred. Releasing fire in the water to burn the sea is just an act of releasing emotions. As long as we don't stop it from continuing to set fires, there's no problem."

"Puru ru?"

Ai Si didn't quite understand Gu Xi's simple explanation, but he was good at grasping the key points.

"Plop! If the ice walls and icicles thaw, they'll fall down..."

Gu Xi was taken aback, then said dryly, "Then, let's leave it a pillar."

As she spoke, Gu Xi gestured with her hand. "It doesn't need to be too thick, just this wide, enough for it to stand up."

Ai Si nodded as if she understood, and immediately began to take action.

"Wait!" Gu Xi suddenly called out to him, "I almost forgot, once the sea area is opened, the seawater will start to circulate, and the fish will start to swim around. It's true that Yan Lin wants to vent his emotions, but those innocent fish have no reason to wait for him to burn them."

Ais blinked, asking her with her eyes what to do.

"So, you've seen octopuses use pots to boil water, right? You can make a pot out of ice so that the fire in the water can't escape from the pot."

Ais recalled how the octopus boiled water; it would simply throw the fire essence into a pot full of water, meaning that fire in water was like fire essence.

"Pfft! I get it!"

Gu Xi was relieved, but then she worried that there wouldn't be enough seawater to burn, so she specifically instructed Ai Si to fill the container with more water.

Therefore, Ais's task became to melt the ice bird cage first, so that the ice basin at the bottom could be raised directly and floated to the surface to be used as a pot for Flamescale.

Flame Scale stood atop a hundred-meter-high ice pillar, its mental energy continuously outputting to generate flames in the water.

For an SS-class sea monster, the amount of mental energy it outputs is nothing.

It initially released underwater flames into the sea simply because of a mission, but as it continued to do so, it saw the corpses of sea monsters as if it were returning to countless duels in the arena.

It didn't want to be like that; it was both distressed and resentful, but even though it went against its own wishes, it had no choice but to kill the other sea creatures.

Although it didn't kill the sea beasts that sank in the water, it always felt that its burning corpses were those of the sea beasts that had died at its hands in the arena.
