Chapter 406 Green Channel to the Bone Reef Sea
"The Tenth Princess's subordinates?" Qin Feng, leaning against the wall, asked in confusion, "How come they're here? Shouldn't they be in the Bone Reef Sea?"

Wei Xi, who had already returned, was gathering up the thick rope and simply replied, "At least that's what it says on paper."

"According to the will, this person was a subordinate of the Tenth Princess. He was probably unlucky and died in the Bone Reef Sea."

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng said painfully, "This is the Bone Reef Sea? I knew it, a sea cannot have two such treacherous places..."

"This manuscript is not well preserved; many of the characters are blurred. Judging from its appearance, it doesn't seem to have been damaged by soaking; it was probably destroyed before it was put into the paper package."

"From the remaining fragments, we can piece together that this person was ordered to find the missing Josen, and after entering the Bone Reef Sea, he encountered monsters and became separated from his team."

Wei Xi tied the thick rope properly and said slowly, "The ending records that he accidentally discovered a passage and prepared to escape."

"Gone?"

“It’s gone,” Wei Xi shook his head slightly. “The middle part of the record seems to have been destroyed. You can see the torn paper scraps, and the beginning and end of the two pages don’t connect.”

Unwilling to believe it, Qin Feng flipped through the paper, looking troubled. "Don't you have any clue about these scribbles?"

"I cannot decipher the text, but the pictures must have been found by this person in the Bone Reef Sea. However, the records in the middle have been erased, so we have no idea where he found these pictures."

"However, the snakes in this flame are very similar to those that attacked you and me. I suspect there are four more similar trials."

Qin Feng fiddled with the manuscript and suddenly spoke up: "You're saying this was hidden by the Tenth Princess's men?"

Wei Xi said cautiously, "It's very possible. Although the bones don't look like a human, nobody knows what's going on in the Bone Reef Sea."

“No,” Qin Feng said decisively, “The Tenth Princess’s men will not be trapped to death. Based on my understanding of these people, if they encountered the situation you described, they would sacrifice their own legs just to send out the intelligence.”

"You mean," Wei Xi paused, then said incredulously, "that thing is native to the Bone Reef Sea?"

Before Qin Feng could answer, Wei Xi frowned and said, "That's strange too. If it wasn't one of the Tenth Princess's subordinates, why would it go to such lengths to hide this manuscript?"

The last two sentences of this manuscript are his dying words—he implored the tenth princess to take good care of his younger siblings.

This is why Wei Xi deduced that the manuscript came from the Tenth Princess.

Wei Xi mimicked the trapped person's predicament before death, which led him to the manuscript. If it wasn't written by the trapped person, why would it value it so much? And how did it acquire this manuscript in the first place?
Qin Feng, now under the influence of a potent drug, grinned and said, "I don't know about that. All I know is that if a death squad is raised like this, the Tenth Princess probably won't amount to much."

The spiritual energy here is thin, and it will take some time for the two of them to recover their spiritual power. Wei Xi, whose wounds had mostly healed, fiddled with the ring and took out his notebook to record the details of waking up.

Besides making it easier to check for malfunctioning memories, this also allows Wei Xi to connect the details.

As Wei Xi wrote furiously, Qin Feng, under the influence of the drug, vaguely thought that she had written her will at such a young age. The dual pain of body and mind brought tears to her eyes.

Unaware of the situation, Ms. Wei continued writing furiously. As she wrote, she noticed a detail—where did the seawater in this place come from?

Some might say, isn't it perfectly normal for there to be seawater on the seabed?
The problem is that Wei Xi should be nestled inside the snake's belly right now; but according to the will, this place should be the Bone Reef Sea.

It's a snake's belly, a reef sea, and seawater—a blessing Wei Xi can't possibly enjoy.

But a word on the manuscript gave Wei Xi a new idea—"passage." From this undelivered manuscript and the monster's skeleton, it was clear that the Tenth Princess's henchmen were probably dead.

The problem is that this person found the passage, and if even the Tenth Princess's subordinates couldn't escape, then their abilities are indeed worrying.

Wei Xi could only think of one answer—the passage was alive.

This explains most of the problems: there is a secret passage at sea guarded by oar demons, which are sea serpents clinging to the circular oar demons; the passage connects to the Bone Reef Sea, so the channel contains a large amount of seawater; and because the passage is alive, the Tenth Princess's subordinates were unable to escape.

This raises a series of questions: Is the monster friend or foe? What roles do the "Sea Warriors," the merfolk, and the Ten Princesses play? Why is there such a passage?
Wei Xi had a terrible headache, but he managed to finish recording what had happened and prepared to use the puppet to dig the sand in the trench.

"I'm looking for similar manuscripts. There can't possibly be only one person like Qin Feng, right?"

Wei Xi turned her head and saw that Qin Feng had fainted. She quickly went forward to check on him and touched his face, finding it covered in tears.

After checking his friend's pulse, Wei Xi assumed that Qin Feng had fainted from the pain.

Wei Xi reached under Qin Feng's ribs to try and pull him up, but his fingertips touched something he shouldn't have.

Wei Xi froze, looking down to see a pair of small, bloodshot eyes and a forked tongue.

Snake: Hello, human!
Facing Wei Xi with its head held high was a small, jet-black snake; to be honest, the color scheme made it difficult for a human to see clearly.

Wei Xi felt a chill run down his spine and was momentarily at a loss for what to do.

After all, it seems that this black snake, like the previous white snake, has not shown any obvious intention to attack.

Having been bitten by a snake, Wei Xi was afraid of angering the little beast and hurting Qin Feng, which would be terrible.

After all, the last thing Qin Feng, who is seriously injured, needs right now is to be bitten by a snake of unknown origin and species.

Before Wei Xi could come up with a solution that satisfied both sides, the little black snake suddenly raised its body and spat out two mouthfuls of venom at her.

Wei Xi subconsciously tried to muster his spiritual power to withstand the attack, completely forgetting that his Qi Palace was completely empty.

Wei Xi, whose face was sprayed with venom, groaned inwardly and refused to open his eyes.

After all, Wei Xi had finally escaped the fate of being mute. If she were to fall into a ditch and become blind, she would be in dire straits.

Overwhelmed with grief, Wei Xi grabbed the black snake that was trying to escape, preparing to chop the culprit into mincemeat.

Caught off guard, the black snake could not escape Wei Xi's merciless iron grip. It was lifted up and slammed against the wall, where it died in a few blows.

Wei Xi hadn't expected this thing to be so weak; he'd taken its life in a single exchange, leaving him somewhat bewildered.

A moment later, Wei Xi cautiously opened his eyes and found that he did not experience the pain he had imagined.

The black snake, shaped somewhere between a strip and a pancake, was held in Wei Xi's hand, its unseeing head dangling in mid-air.

Wei Xi narrowed his eyes and pulled out a dagger from his boot.
