Xi Xi stared at the Xiaofeng Hulusi in her hand with a look of suspicion, and the thought of trying to play it again couldn't help but arise in her mind.

However, the crucial Silence Bead had been completely depleted of energy, and there seemed to be no longer a large school of fish appearing around. From any perspective, trying again at this point seemed extremely unwise.

After all, this sonic weapon is only powerful against living organisms. For example, the catch this time was amazing in quantity, but it was only ribbonfish, and not even a precious treasure chest was obtained.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally packed the Xiaofeng gourd flute into her bag with a reluctant expression. Then, she turned around to help her mother clean the ribbonfish that had just been caught.

Chu Zhiqin remained calm and composed. Having personally experienced the power of sound waves, she showed no surprise or doubt about their ability to travel far.

She skillfully grabbed the gills of the ribbonfish, while her mind raced, devising strategies for using the Xiaofeng gourd flute to launch a group attack. She enthusiastically discussed with Xi Xi the various possibilities of using sound waves for self-defense.

The two became increasingly excited as they talked, as if they could already see a future where they would use this unique sonic technique to turn danger into safety and become invincible.

At noon, as expected, it was a feast of whole fish.

Xi Xi isn't picky about food; as long as it fills her stomach, she's fine. In contrast, Chu Zhiqin clearly values ​​the rituals in life more.

She skillfully uses various cooking methods and seasonings to meticulously create a series of fish dishes that are delicious, fragrant, and flavorful.

Aura and the little white duck were overjoyed, their excitement... well, it was palpable. They happily each chose a plump, large fish and began to devour it, without any concern that a quarrel between the duck and the cat might break out over the fish.

Xi Xi pondered for a moment, then picked up a half-eaten fish that looked rather cruel. An idea struck her: she would try feeding this fish to the mirror willow in Liu Qi's mirror.

So she carefully took the half-fish and approached the mirror, softly calling the name of the mirror willow. But the mirror willow seemed unresponsive, merely wriggling its slender branches, refusing to peek out from the mirror.

Therefore, Xi Xi had no choice but to give up.

The afternoon was another tedious and boring commute, but thankfully the weather was nice today, with a clear blue sky and a gentle breeze.

Chu Zhiqin skillfully controlled the steering wheel, and the vehicle drove very smoothly and steadily. Perhaps influenced by the good weather, her mood also became cheerful, and she unconsciously increased the speed by several gears.

Xi Xi sat leisurely in the spacious and comfortable passenger seat, enjoying the ever-changing scenery outside the window while chatting idly with her mother.

She casually opened the light screen and switched it to the temporary squad's window.

The chat history remained at the point where it ended yesterday, and Xi Xi suddenly felt a bad premonition.

She could understand that Liu Enxi wasn't good with words, but why was Liu Yunyan also completely silent...?

Xi Xi was frowning in thought when the sunlight outside the window dimmed. This tranquility, as expected, didn't last long.

As time went on, Chu Zhiqin gradually noticed some unusual signs.

The once clear blue sky began to darken, gradually covered by a layer of hazy smog, like a huge gray curtain slowly descending, as if a storm was about to brew.

"How strange! How can the weather change so suddenly?" Chu Zhiqin muttered to herself as she looked out the windshield at the ever-changing scenery. She was starting to develop a phobia of strong winds and waves.

Seeing that things were going badly, Xi Xi calmly took out motion sickness pills, poured a glass of water, and handed it to her mother, saying softly, "Mom, take these motion sickness pills. They're more effective if you take them in advance."

Chu Zhiqin took the water glass, temporarily suppressing her worries, and said to Xi Xi, "It's alright, we must get on the road as soon as possible today... Tomorrow will be the seventh day."

Hearing her mother's words, Xi Xi's heart sank. She knew perfectly well what this so-called "seventh day" meant—it was the crucial moment for their successful escape from their predicament.

With that thought in mind, she took a deep breath, opened the map in her hand again, which detailed the escape route, and began to browse it intently.

She was calculating with a serious expression, occasionally looking up at the sky, and a vague unease was creeping into her heart.

After careful consideration, Chu Zhiqin and Xi Xi decided to take turns driving at high speed day and night. So, Xi Xi went back to her bedroom and forced herself to catch up on sleep.

The changes in the sky became increasingly apparent. Dark clouds began to gather from all directions, shrouding the entire sky in a gray gloom. The sea breeze also picked up, carrying a hint of coolness and a salty, damp scent.

As Chu Zhiqin drove, she looked ahead and saw waves surging on the distant sea, like a herd of wild horses rushing toward the shore.

The waves crashed against the rocks not far away, creating a deafening sound.

"Be careful of hidden reefs..." Chu Zhiqin thought to herself, immediately realizing how difficult it must have been for Xi Xi to travel all night.

On the other side, Xi Xi, who was lying on the big bed in the bedroom, felt uneasy. She tossed and turned for half an hour before finally sitting up in bed and opening the private message interface.
