The atmosphere suddenly became a little stiff. The two sides confronted each other for a few seconds. Xia Shuzhilian suddenly pressed the earphone and conveyed his thoughts.
"I have no objection. If it weren't for Yuanshi Tianzun, at least half of us would have died at the bottom of the sea, or even been wiped out. Anyway, I didn't contribute much from beginning to end."
After saying that, she glanced at Brother Red Chicken, who also made no contribution.
The heat in Brother Red Chicken's eyes faded, and he scratched his head vigorously: "Forget it, forget it. When you are in a dungeon, loyalty is the most important thing. I don't have much to contribute, so you can do whatever you want."
Yin Ji didn't "speak", just nodded slightly.
The Eagle of Freedom was extremely unwilling to accept this. This kind of prop with unique and terrifying functions could be called a powerful weapon in the realm of saints. It would be a lie to say that he was not jealous or eager for it.
But as an experienced executive of the Tianfa Organization, she knew how to judge the situation and could only suppress her resentment.
Yun Meng hesitated to speak. She did make a contribution and risked her life for trial and error.
However, no one mentioned this at the moment. Yuanshi Tianzun seemed to have forgotten her contribution. Yunmeng felt a little aggrieved, but she couldn't
If there is internal strife, you can only endure it.
At this time, Xiahou Aotian's "shouting" interrupted everyone: "If you solve the turntable, then quickly solve the eye of the formation. I have already destroyed one prop, and the one in my hand is about to break. You bunch of idiots~"
Yin Ji looked back and saw not Xiahou Aotian surrounded by the army of Yin corpses, but that after the ban was lifted, thousands of Yin corpses no longer hindered them and surrounded them from all directions.
Looking around, it looks like a school of bloodthirsty piranhas.
Zhang Yuanqing didn't have time to check the prop information and quickly put away the shadow.
The Japanese car turned to the special plate, and took out the Yamaki power: the seaweed in the country glowed again, and the seaweed suspended in the surroundings glowed again.
A sudden change occurred, forming a circle of defense network, fiercely entangled with the corpse.
But this only stops the Inferi slightly.
"Hurry up and destroy the center of the formation." Zhang Yuanqing, who lacked range attack, urged.
Everyone looked down at the warship that was more than ten meters long and frowned.
At this time, Red Chicken, who had been paddling all the time, volunteered: "I'll handle it. Buy me three minutes."
He swam nimbly to the deck, stretched out his hand into the air, grabbed a military green backpack, took out a time bomb from the backpack, and leaned over to place it on the deck.
Then he swam out to the deck, came to the left side of the ship, and installed the explosive pack in the same way.
This item can produce nine explosive packs at a time, and has a cooling time of 24 hours. It is currently his most powerful item, but it also has many disadvantages. It is suitable for targeted blasting and ambushes, rather than on-the-spot combat.
Whenever I feel this moment, I admire the destructive power of the Fire Master immensely... Zhang Yuanqing retracted his gaze, swung up the Mountain God's Scepter, and with a "puff" sound, he blasted the Yin corpse that broke through the seaweed barrier and came towards him with its fangs and claws.
At this time, several gaps were torn in the defense line formed by seaweed, and the Yin corpse, which was extremely powerful and good at swimming, dived in like a fish, with a pale and swollen face and open black gums, and pounced on the saints in the circle.
Xia Shuzhilian stood close to Yuanshi Tianzun, wielding a sharp dagger and beheading the attacking corpses one by one.
She could still handle it if the number was small. But once the army of Infernals invaded the defense circle on a large scale, the swordsman in the water would be overwhelmed and would surely die.
After struggling for three minutes, Brother Red Chicken's voice came through the headphones:
"Retreat quickly! I'm going to explode."
He fished a remote from his backpack and pressed the red button.
"boom!"
A blinding flame lit up the dark seabed. The shock wave, carrying with it a raging undercurrent, flattened everything in its path. The mud that had settled in the ocean was blown up in large pieces like a sandstorm.
The sunken ships that were originally arranged in a certain pattern were swept away by the terrifying undercurrent, colliding with each other, their rotten hulls cracked, and broken wood flew everywhere.
In the chaos, Zhang Yuanqing, with his upper body naked, hugged the cold and beautiful female instructor, and put on the heart-protection goggles he had taken out long ago.
A dim yellow light lit up, supporting a safe area. Xia Shuzhilian was suddenly hugged by the man, and instinctively put her hands together to push him away, but then she realized that Yuanshi Tianzun was protecting her, so she withdrew her strength in time, and her palms weakly supported his strong chest.
The chaotic and violent undercurrent lasted for nearly half a minute before slowly subsiding.
Xia Shuzhilian quickly pushed Yuanshi Tianzun away and looked around to hide the slight embarrassment in her heart.
"Is everyone okay?" Zhang Yuanqing pressed the headset and called his teammates.
The Night Walker can see through darkness, but not through chaotic currents.
"The formation has been broken. We can return to the surface of the sea." Yin Ji's voice came from the headset, but no one else responded.
I don’t know if he was seriously injured or lost his headphones.
Zhang Yuanqing looked at Xia Shuzhilian, pointed above his head, made a floating gesture, and then kicked his legs and floated up quickly.
Xia Shuzhilian pressed her legs tightly together, swung her lower body like a mermaid, twisted her tight and slender waist, and generated huge thrust with her feet. Her speed was no slower than Zhang Yuanqing's.
The two quickly rushed out of the muddy area and saw Yin Ji, who was also walking out of the muddy current, graceful and elegant.
Zhang Yuanqing looked down and saw that the turbid soup raised by the explosion covered an area of dozens of meters in radius and continued to expand. At the edge of this area, swollen corpses were floating in a disorderly manner.
They are either upside down or lying sideways, like dead leaves hanging in the water in a mess.
After the formation's energy was destroyed, this group of Yin corpses turned into real corpses and lost their spirituality.
The three waited for a moment, and suddenly saw the "turbid soup" surging. The slightly fat Freedom Eagle rushed out quickly and joined the team members.
She was not injured, but her headphones were lost in the violent undercurrent caused by the explosion and fell to the bottom of the sea.
Immediately afterwards, a giant black-scaled python emerged, and its body swam slowly and smoothly towards us like a kite.
The five of them got together and waited for a few minutes before Brother Hongji arrived, but there was still no sign of Xiahou Aotian.
"Where is Xiahou Aotian?" Zhang Yuanqing conveyed his thoughts while gesturing to his teammate who had lost his headphones.
Brother Hongji understood what he meant, pointed to the bottom of the sea, made a gesture of wiping his neck and sticking out his tongue, indicating that Xiahou Aotian was probably dead.
Xia Shuzhilian pointed to the water surface and said, "He was not affected by the explosion and may have escaped to the surface of the sea."
Are we really being kicked out of the protagonist group? Zhang Yuanqing muttered, agreeing with Xia Shuzhilian's statement.
After the formation was destroyed, the Yin corpse lost its spirituality, Xiahou Aotian's predicament was resolved, and he was not within the attack range of the explosion, so it was impossible for him to encounter an accident.
Leaving alone without saying a word means he is angry. This guy is also petty.
When the mud began to settle, the sea water became turbid, but visibility became clear. Zhang Yuanqing held the headset and said:
"Let's go take a look at the dragon boat."
With hand gestures, he pointed to the dragon boat in the center of the shipwreck.
"What are you going to do?" Brother Red Chicken upholds the fine tradition of asking whenever possible and never thinking for himself.
"According to my speculation, the last batch of Spirit Realm travelers were probably on a hidden mission, which is why they were wiped out. The place where they set out on the hidden mission was either Dragon Boat or Yashan Island." Zhang Yuanqing expressed his thoughts:
"Their main mission is to break the formation and deal with these Yin corpses, so I think it is more likely that Longzhou is punishing a hidden mission. The monster that Yin Ji Deacon and Xiahou Aotian want to deal with should be down there."
Upon hearing this, the Freedom Eagle floated up without hesitation to make its position clear.
She didn't want to take risks for someone else's mission.
Brother Red Rooster pointed at the bottom of the sea, then pointed at himself, waved his hands vigorously, and followed the Freedom Eagle.
Unlike the Freedom Eagle who was unwilling to take risks, he really was helpless. The fire demon on land was in the sky, on the ground and in the air, but the fire demon under the sea could only fight.
"Xia Shu, you go up first." Zhang Yuanqing conveyed his thoughts, looked at the hesitant python, and pointed to the sea.
Yun Meng heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and swam towards the sea. "Yuan Shi, be careful." She swung her round hips and slender waist, moving her legs, creating dense bubbles, and swam up like a mermaid.
Zhang Yuanqing watched his teammates leave, then looked back at the mature woman with a black veil on her face: "Let's go down."
Yin Ji nodded slightly, and was the first to lower her body. Her black skirt spread out, and Zhang Yuanqing saw two legs swaying under her skirt, vaguely visible.
He immediately retracted his gaze, paddled his limbs and dived downward, with undercurrents surging around him, giving him an assist.
The explosion did not affect this side, and the dragon boat lay quietly on the seabed.
Soon, the two landed at the bow of the dragon boat. The deck was covered with a thick layer of mud. Zhang Yuanqing and Yin Ji walked forward carefully on the slippery mud.
Two sets of footprints, one big and one small, were left behind.
This dragon boat is also a warship, not a recreational vessel. It has only two floors, and the cabin is dark and quiet, also covered with a thin layer of mud. Weapons, tables and chairs can be seen everywhere.
There were no antiques, calligraphy and paintings, screens and colorful curtains as imagined. The two walked forward for a while, then stopped at the same time, staring straight ahead.
There was a two-meter-long soft couch, on which lay a boy of seven or eight years old. He was wearing a red official robe with black edges on the collar and sleeves.
The boy lay straight with his hands crossed on his abdomen. The little emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty? Zhang Yuanqing glanced at Yin Ji, who seemed to understand what he meant. She took the initiative to come forward and came to the edge of the bed. After a careful inspection, a soft voice sounded from the headset:
“Not an Inferi.”
Zhang Yuanqing then stepped forward and stood beside her in front of the couch. "I remember that in the Battle of Yashan, it was Lu Xiufu who carried the little emperor into the sea. The purple-robed corpse that was dealt with before was most likely him. Now the little emperor is here too. Who do you think the final boss of the dungeon will be?"
Yin Ji shook her head slightly: "I don't know."
She tilted her head slightly, her beautiful eyes staring at him quietly, "Why did you come to help me? If there is a boss here, you will be in great danger at your level."
Zhang Yuanqing didn't look at her, and continued to observe the little emperor's body, responding with his mind:
"If I don't help you, who else can help you? Can you count on that useless alchemist? We are all official people, natural partners and comrades-in-arms. In such a dangerous instance, isn't it natural to take risks for your teammates?"
There was a hidden agenda in his words, his purpose was to win Yin Ji's favor and establish a preliminary friendship with her.
Yin Ji has a cold and aloof personality, and is aloof from everyone. If you say some flirtatious words to her, it will only make her feel disgusted, and then become more distant from her.
But this kind of response, which is based on morality and organizational level, and is impartial yet humane, will definitely win her favor.
Zhang Yuanqing was very experienced in interpersonal communication. Sure enough, Yin Ji's eyes, which seemed to reflect autumn water, suddenly became gentle, "Thank you!"
Zhang Yuanqing was about to respond, but as he was staring at the little emperor's corpse, he uttered "Huh" softly, leaned over, and turned the boy's body over.
There was a crack on the back of the little emperor's neck, extending along his spine into his official robes.
Yin Ji was stunned for a moment.
Zhang Yuanqing tore off the little emperor's official uniform and finally saw the "crack" on his back, which extended from the back of his neck to his coccyx, like a cicada shedding its shell.
What lies on the couch is just a body, where is the real body?
The two looked at each other, their expressions quietly solemn.
There was a few seconds of silence, and Yin Ji took a deep breath: "Let's leave here first and return to the sea."

There was a few seconds of silence, and Yin Ji took a deep breath: "Let's leave here first and return to the sea."
Zhang Yuanqing nodded, left his body behind, and half walked and half swam out of the cabin with Yin Ji. The two of them manipulated the water flow and quickly floated up.
“Crash!”
They all broke through the waves.
At this time, the sky and the earth were dark, and dawn was approaching. The boat was anchored not far away, swaying with the waves, and five teammates were standing on the deck.
Zhang Yuanqing and Yin Ji simultaneously turned into dreamy starlight and landed on the deck.
"It seems you are not in danger." Xia Shuzhilian smiled and added: "What did you find?"
Zhang Yuanqing took off his headphones, threw them to the petty Xiahou Aotian, and told his teammates about his discovery in the dragon boat.
"The monster is already on Yashan Island." He looked at the outline of the island in the distance and made a judgment.
Freedom Eagle's face changed, and he immediately said:
"I won't go to Yashan Island. Most of the dangers in the dungeon have been resolved. There is only one boss left. This is not our main quest. There is no need to die."
Hearing this, Brother Hongji, Yunmeng and Xia Shuzhilian looked hesitant.
Xiahou Aotian's handsome face changed, he was shocked and angry, he raised his chin stubbornly:
"I, the protagonist, have never counted on you supporting characters, but you are too disloyal. Yin Ji and I fought bloody battles in the seabed to solve your worries, and you turned around and sold us out?"
Freedom Eagle had long since given up insisting on foreign languages, and sneered in response:
"Don't be so frank. We all played this dungeon together, and no one is doing it for anyone else."
She glanced at Yunmeng and the other two, her tone slightly bewitching, "It's not easy for everyone to be promoted to the Saint Realm. You all have family and friends. Why should you die for your mission? Before tonight, I didn't even know you, okay?"
She is trying to form cliques.
These words were well-reasoned and touched people's hearts. Brother Hongji and Yunmeng no longer hesitated.
Xiahou Aotian gritted his teeth in anger, while Yin Ji didn't say a word from beginning to end, but her delicate brows were slightly frowned.
Although what Free Eagle said was correct, encountering such a troublemaker in the dungeon is really an unstable factor. If things go wrong, the whole team will be wiped out. No, once the team goes their separate ways here, the only result will be total annihilation...After discovering the abnormality of the little emperor's body, Zhang Yuanqing almost understood the dungeon.
Xia Shuzhilian looked hesitant, "Yuanshi, what do you think?"
Brother Hongji and Yunmeng couldn't help but look at Yuanshi Tianzun. Xiahou Aotian stared at him closely, and Yin Ji, who had always been cold, looked at him with expectation in her eyes.
Unknowingly, Yuanshi Tianzun gained a certain prestige in the team through his actions and abilities.
Zhang Yuanqing did not directly respond to Xia Shuzhilian's question, but did something that puzzled everyone. He took out three evil-breaking talismans and said:
"Yunmeng, I didn't have time to tell you just now at the bottom of the sea. This is my compensation to you. It is enough to match your contribution to the Conquering Wheel."
The pure-hearted Yun Meng was surprised and delighted, and the slight grievance in her heart immediately disappeared. She curiously reached out to take the evil-breaking talisman and said:
"Is this a talisman? It's a consumable item, right? Hmm, what function does it have?"
Zhang Yuanqing explained:
"It contains the dominant power of the sun. It is not very aggressive, but it can purify all negative influences. However, it is slightly weaker in purifying poison and has fatal damage to resentful spirits."
Yunmeng's eyes suddenly shone with light, as if containing stars.
Purifying all negative influences, this talisman is simply the nemesis of alcoholics... The Eagle of Freedom stared at the three evil-breaking talismans, unable to hide his envy.
Brother Hongji sighed and thought to himself, Yuanshi Tianzun is so generous, how many houses does he have at home?
When Yun Meng happily put away the talisman, Zhang Yuanqing stared at the Eagle of Freedom and said:
"If we break up now, we will be wiped out."
Freedom Eagle looked disdainful, obviously not believing what he said.
"What do you mean?" asked Brother Red Chicken.
It was 4:30 in the morning and the sky was dark.
It was summer, and daybreak would come in half an hour. A black car drove through the quiet streets and shuttled through the bustling CBD area.
There are shopping malls and office buildings everywhere. During the day, the place is bustling with people and the traffic is congested, but at night, it seems empty and dead, with no one in sight.
Apart from the halo of street lamps, the tall buildings were collectively silent, with dark windows and no light at all.
The car was parked outside a western restaurant on the street. On the entire street, only this restaurant had its lights on and its doors open, and it seemed that it was still open for business.
The car door opened, and a pair of shiny leather shoes stepped out. Mr. Bill, wearing a well-fitting suit, stepped out of the car, stood on the street, and stared into the western restaurant.
Then he looked around, confirmed that there was no one around, left the car and went into the western restaurant.
As soon as Fang Fu stepped into the luxuriously decorated restaurant, he smelled a strong fragrance.
Sitting at a square table in the middle of the restaurant was a man wearing a pure black suit and a half-face silver mask. He was holding a knife and fork in his hands, and was lowering his head to cut a small tomahawk steak.
"Very punctual. Take a seat. The steak is ready." Without looking up, the man pointed to the small tomahawk steak opposite him.
Mr. Bill walked slowly forward, pulled out a high-backed chair and sat down, dining with the man.
"After eating so many steaks, the dry-aged Australian ribeye is still the most suitable for my taste." The man chewed the steak in big mouthfuls, looking like a starving ghost.
Mr. Bill ate in a much more elegant manner and said:
"President, how do you plan to deal with the Dionysus Club? If you don't want to take action, I can talk to the Five Elements Alliance and ask them to allow the guild's top leaders to come to Songhai to handle this matter for you."
"Those old guys are too familiar with the Dionysus Club. They know each other so well that they can't fight. To deal with that group of drunkards, we have to play by surprise." The man put down his knife and fork, compared his black suit, and said: "Look, what is this?"
Bill, who was waiting for the president to explain the tactics, was stunned for a moment. He found that he could never keep up with the president's erratic thinking, so he tried to probe:
"Your broad chest?"
The man shook his finger: "I must have a broad chest. All the beautiful girls who live here say so. But what I want to show you is a suit. It's a pure black suit. I bought it specially yesterday."
Suits? Bill didn't understand.
The man said helplessly: "You are a gentleman, but unfortunately you are not humorous enough. A pure black suit can only be worn on two occasions, one is a wedding, and the other is a funeral."
Bill finally understood, and said with surprise and anticipation:
"President, do you mean that you want to personally attend their funeral? Do you know where they are? Do you need help from your subordinates?"
The man did not answer, but slowly ate the last piece of steak, then smiled and said:
"Your job was to bring them here, and you did it beautifully."
Mr. Bill was startled and turned his head to look out the window. He didn't know when all the street lights were turned off. The lights in the restaurant were bright, but outside the restaurant, it was pitch black and silent.
