When the second door was opened, everyone (the fish) was stunned.
This room also contained boxes, and what they contained were not ordinary things, but various complete sets of bones.
However, unlike the boxes in the first room, the boxes here are much more exquisite. Clearly, the owner here values these bones far more than the weapons they had previously acquired, including, of course, the sword Ais had obtained.
Ah~
Suddenly, Lingling screamed.
"It's all bones! Are there skeletons in the box?!"
Perhaps the fear brought by the zombie sea monsters and skeleton deep-sea creatures had not yet subsided, and Lingling almost fainted from fright.
Fortunately, Flamescale helped it up from behind.
However, the expression on its own face wasn't much better.
"Pfft~ It must be all sea monster bones!" Flame Scale gritted his teeth.
Because it had been in the arena of life and death, it knew many types of sea monsters. Now, it could see many familiar types of sea monsters at a glance, and even some that were more familiar.
Thinking of the tragic fate of the Ice Shield Fish that he had just witnessed, Gu Xi also lowered his voice.
"It seems that the owner of this place treats the sea monster's remains as spoils of war."
Of the four team members, two are marine mammals. Even though marine mammals have a strong sense of independence, they are naturally upset to see other marine mammals being exhibited in this way.
"So what do we do now?" Lingling asked in a low voice.
Flamescale frowned, its eyes filled with both disgust and anger. It roared, "Whoosh! Burn it, burn it, burn it all! You want me to sell this stuff to the Deep Sea Clan?! I might as well kill you!"
As it spoke, it gripped Gu Xi's fish-like hand, and Gu Xi felt that it could unleash flames at any moment, turning the place into a fireground.
Gu Xi quickly stopped it.
Selling it is definitely out of the question, but burning it isn't an option either!
This kind of thing is a testament to the suffering of the sea creatures. If we burn it, wouldn't that mean forgetting what happened?
"Flame Scale, you are not allowed to set fire!" This was a strict order, but fortunately, Flame Scale obeyed and the order was not enforced.
Although Yanlin obeyed, she was still resentful.
"Pfft! Why!" Its tone was somewhat aggressive.
As Gu Xi hesitated about how to explain things in a way that would be more acceptable to Yan Lin, Ai Si spoke up calmly.
"Purr! Flame Scale, these bones do not belong to you, nor to us, but to the corresponding sea beasts of different types."
With a single sentence from Ais, Flamescale's flames were extinguished. No matter how large the flames were, they couldn't ignite.
Gu Xi's eyes showed a hint of tension as he scanned back and forth between Ai Si and Yan Lin's faces.
She was filled with worry, fearing that Yan Lin's change of heart was due to the difference in their mental strength levels, forcing him to change his tune.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, the silence like a giant black curtain enveloping everyone.
Only the slow sound of breathing, like a faint flame in the darkness, appeared and disappeared in the oppressive atmosphere.
After a moment of deathly silence, Flame Scale finally broke the silence.
“You… are right. These skeletons should be returned to the sea monsters.”
There was a hint of hesitation in its voice, yet it also sounded firm.
As soon as Yanlin finished speaking, Gu Xi saw it turn around and slowly walk towards a shelf inside.
Gu Xi stared intently at Yan Lin as it slowly walked toward the shelf.
It stopped in front of the shelf and slowly reached out to take down a box.
Unlike its usual lively and playful self, Yanlin calmly held the box in its hands. Gu Xi noticed that its eyes were fixed on the box, its gaze filled with complex emotions.
It just watched quietly, as if time itself had stopped at that moment.
In that instant, Gu Xi seemed to realize something.
Suddenly, a ball of flame appeared in Yanlin's hand.
The flame leaped upwards. It swiftly engulfed the box, swallowing it whole in an instant. Under the ravages of the flames, the box quickly turned to ash, which slowly drifted to the ground.
