Now, the old imperial advisor's panic intensified.
"Oh dear, look how fragile this island is. Let's figure out a way to leave."
"Otherwise, if this island sinks later, won't we sink with it?"
"Although I am old, I can't swim."
Shi Yu glanced at the old national advisor.
"The ship is already gone. Do you think we can just leave now?"
The old imperial advisor paused, then asked, "So what should we do now?"
“Yu Yu, you’ve always been very capable. Why don’t you think of a way to get us out of here quickly?”
"If this island in the sea were to sink, it might not be such a bad thing for the people of the surrounding countries."
“Once this island in the sea is sunk, no one will come looking for it, and no one will suffer the curse because of greed.”
"Next, all we need to do is clear the curses from the several countries on the mainland."
"Then the evil spirits will still be unable to invade the mainland as before, and we can still live a good life."
"Yuyu, what do you think of my idea?"
“Not very good,” Shi Yu said indifferently.
"Moreover, we're running out of time."
"What do you mean by that?" The old imperial advisor quickly looked up at the black, viscous seawater.
The jet-black, sticky, and foul-smelling seawater, as if it possessed a life of its own, was silently spreading upwards.
With each passing second, it stretches upward a little further, like a huge and ferocious monster gradually awakening, sending chills down one's spine.
As time went on, it became clear that this eerie black sea covered an increasingly wider area, and the once clear blue sky was also stained with a depressing and gloomy hue.
The space available for them to live on the entire island is being compressed and shrunk little by little.
Even more terrifying is that the entire golden island is showing signs of cracking.
The golden mountain at our feet, which was originally golden, seemed to be gradually darkening and turning black.
It felt like something viscous was surging up from below and invading.
It is gradually eroding this island from the bottom up.
Although the viscous seawater around it has not yet spread over.
However, the island had already been eroded from the inside out, just waiting for them to take the bait so that they could be completely wiped out.
What a terrifying conspiracy!
Everyone who learned this couldn't help but shudder.
However, after Shi Yu finished speaking, he happily threw himself into collecting gold and silver jewelry.
The old imperial advisor, quite puzzled, stepped forward to inquire.
"Yu Yu, didn't you say this island was about to crack? How come you're still in the mood to collect gold and silver here?"
Shi Yu answered as he collected the food.
"Yes, that's why we need to hurry up and collect it, otherwise all this gold and silver treasures will sink to the bottom of the sea."
Although, what Shi Yu said makes a lot of sense.
But the problem they are facing right now is not this, okay?
The old national advisor turned around and silently glanced at Li Hongzhao and the others.
Surprisingly, the others remained calm and showed no fear whatsoever; they were even more composed than him.
The old imperial advisor beckoned to Li Hong and asked her.
Aren't you afraid?
Li Hongzhao glanced at the old national advisor with a puzzled look.
“Yu Yu is still here.”
"If Yu Yu isn't afraid, why should we be?"
"Master, don't worry, Yu Yu knows what she's doing. She won't abandon us."
"If you're scared, how about I teach you how to swim?"
The old imperial advisor's face immediately darkened upon hearing this.
"What time is it? You want to teach me how to swim?"
Is it too late?
"Besides, the seawater is so murky and viscous, you can go down, but I can't."
Li Hongzhao chuckled softly, "Who cares if it's dirty or not? We'll all be going down together later anyway."
"You little brat, you're not a good person!" the Imperial Advisor cursed angrily, then turned to look for something to float on, lest he actually drown.
Before long, the cracks beneath their feet became more and more obvious.
Some of the seawater was even bubbling up from the surface.
The seawater around the island was also rising further, forcing them to run towards the central area of the small island.
“Fishing, fishing, the seawater is getting richer and richer,” Li Hongzhao said while fishing.
"Okay, I'll hurry up and finish," Shi Yu replied.
Li Hongzhao then asked, "Can I help deal with this underwater monster later?"
Shi Yu: "Yes."
"Heh~"
"But you definitely can't beat it."
Just as Li Hongzhao was about to be happy, Shi Yu's words shattered her illusions.
“But if you’re together, you can fight,” Shi Yu added.
"That's perfect, let's practice with it." Li Hongzhao's fighting spirit instantly surged.
"Glug glug..." The viscous seawater rose up even more noticeably.
Li Hongzhao simply squatted down to watch.
She raised her curved knife and plunged it in to test it.
The viscous seawater instantly enveloped her, but she easily broke free with the curved blade in her hand.
Li Hongzhao glanced at her curved sword.
The luster on the blade seems to have decreased somewhat.
It seems that this viscous seawater has been permeated with evil black energy.
She couldn't help but look up at the vast sea all around her.
I don't know when it started, but the surrounding space has become increasingly cramped.
