At this moment, his ruthless nature was fully exposed. Wei Xi said directly, "Since you know I'm here, these people are dead to me. I'll help you escape. You deal with those monsters. If you're quick, they might suffer less!"

Zuo Fei now understood that this fake Nanjiang demon was born in the distant future. To this person, the Dongyi people, including himself, were indeed a bunch of dead people.

The logic is clear and irrefutable.

"No!" Zuo Fei, with her relatively higher moral standards, abruptly broke free from Wei Xi's tricky logic and firmly stated, "These people are still alive! They must be released! Otherwise..."

Wei Xi continued, "...Otherwise, when the Green Moon Tide comes, all these people will die, right? Then tell me, what dangers does this Green Moon Tide pose?"

Seeing that Zuo Fei remained silent, Wei Xi didn't waste any words either. He swung his machete again, expanding the area of ​​the circular cage even further.

"I can't tell you!" Zuo Fei stamped her feet anxiously, now that there was more space around her. "Okay, whatever else you want to know, I'll tell you!"

How do we get into this cage?

Zuo Fei was taken aback again, then smiled bitterly and said, "Ancestor, if I had known, would I still be trapped here?"

Wei Xi was going to teach this old bastard a lesson today. With a swift turn of his machete, he pressed it against Zuo Fei's face, which was covered in marks.

"Who are you trying to fool?" Wei Xi's tone was sinister, his brows furrowed, making him seem far from a good person. "You previously said that Yu Sheng Teng did not originate from Nanjiang, and that this thing originated from Changshengmu, but now it has appeared in Dongyi. After much thought, I can only come up with one possibility: Yu Sheng Teng was originally a treasure of Changshengmu, but it was later stolen by someone, who might just be the Dongyi demon leader!"

"However, since the Eastern Yi demon chief controls the water, he probably won't be very good at using this thing. You lost the third bet, and the Eastern Yi demon chief wanted your life, so you used this thing to lock yourself up!"

"That's why it called people from Nanjiang," Wei Xi said, his wrist twitching slightly as he watched Zuo Fei's ashen face. "It's to open this broken cage."

"Things have come to this," Zuo Fei said in a dying struggle, "aren't you afraid I'll go and complain to that Yu guy?"

Wei Xi's eyes were calm, but they made Zuo Fei feel uneasy.

“You did it, or this is how it was opened,” Wei Xi said indifferently, “In any case, it’s not my fault. As for you, you’re even more guilty.”

Zuo Fei was surprised by how quickly this person changed his attitude. After weighing the pros and cons, she finally revealed the truth.

“You’re right, but not entirely.” Zuo Fei sorted out her thoughts before speaking: “Yu Shengteng was indeed taken from Changshengmu by that evil demon surnamed Yu.”

"After the third round, it did want to spare my life on the condition that I stay in Dongyi and help it forge artifacts. I really didn't want to be an accomplice to a tyrant, nor did I want to die here, so I took advantage of the chaos to activate Yu Shengteng."

“If I don’t go out, they can’t come in. In a fit of rage, the evil demon hung me here.” Exhausted, Zuo Fei recalled, “I don’t know who gave the evil demon the idea, but they actually persuaded the Everlasting Tree to send its demon accomplices to unlock this cage and erase my memories in the process.”

Wei Xi nodded slightly, understanding that this was probably the truth.

Wei may lie endlessly, but her allies cannot conceal crucial information.

This is Wei Xi's virtue, and also a little trick to save his life.

"You forge artifacts?" Wei Xi suddenly spoke, his machete still pressed against the victim's face. "You made a bet with the Eastern Yi demon chief about forging artifacts?"

"Refining artifacts?" Zuo Fei frowned. "If you mean smelting metals and other materials in a furnace to create artifacts with magical functions, then this must be it."

Wei Xi never expected that the bet between the human and the demon was about weapon crafting. Then, thinking of the person who had bet his name with him, he felt a sense of unease—did it have some special feelings for the weapon crafter?

“The Eastern Yi demon chief is in charge of water,” Wei Xi questioned, “how did he end up involved in weapon crafting?”

"How would I know?" Zuo Fei said rudely. "These evil demons each have their own quirks. I only know that its weapon-forging skills are quite high."

"Do you know about Luexi and the others?" Zuo Fei's voice suddenly lowered. "Rumor has it that Luexi, Tanxian, and the others were all forged by a vicious demon surnamed Yu..."

Having witnessed the Golden House, Wei Xi naturally interpreted Zuo Fei's words as: the demons like Lue Xi are artifact spirits.

“Then its weapon-refining skills are extremely high,” Wei Xi nodded slightly, but was not surprised. “In that case, why not find a magic weapon? Then Lue Xi and the others will be no threat.”

“No,” Zuo Fei’s tone suddenly turned sinister as he stared at Wei Xi and said, “Lue Xi and the others are living creatures forged by the Eastern Yi demon chieftain!”

Wei Xi, inside the Lian Gou Lang "body," remained calm. Seeing this, Zuo Fei couldn't maintain her composure any longer and exclaimed, "This is a shocking secret! Your reaction is wrong!"

"You're making a fuss over nothing," Wei Xi, who was surrounded by strange occurrences, put away his machete and said bluntly, "Will you take me in, or will you come out yourself?"

Looking at the cage that had already expanded to a certain extent, Zuo Fei was afraid that Wei Xizhen would imprison the demon with innocent people, so she hurriedly said, "I have a way to capture this thing."

As soon as she finished speaking, hundreds of metal wires of varying thickness emerged from Zuo Fei's body, threading through the gaps in the round cage. They then wove a large net in an unbelievable way, enveloping the cage from the outside.

It's clear that Zuo Fei has expended a lot of energy using this move, and he's already teetering on the brink of collapse.

Fortunately, the effect was quite good. As the metal mesh formed, the round cage, which had remained sturdy despite being slashed hundreds of times by Wei Xi, gradually withered away until it disappeared.

Now, what didn't Wei Xi understand? Clearly, Zuo Fei already knew how to escape, which was why she was so focused on getting rid of him. But Wei Xi refused to cooperate, and her actions doubled the workload, causing someone to suffer a great loss.

Supporting the limp Zuo Fei, Wei Xi, the paper doll, felt his arm slightly bend and quickly adjusted his posture to distribute the force.

"Hurry up!" Zuo Fei squeezed out a few broken words through gritted teeth, "We don't even have half a day left!"

Judging from the results, there shouldn't be any problems following Zuo Fei's advice.

Therefore, Wei Xi nimbly dragged the mud-covered Zuo Fei away from this place of trouble, and before leaving, he did not forget to take the Yu Sheng Teng that had fallen to the ground, which resembled a tree root.

Following Zuo Fei's directions, the two hid in an abandoned ship.

"The smell is a bit unpleasant," Zuo Fei said, looking at Wei Xi's displeased expression, "but it's absolutely safe. This used to be a fishing boat used by evil demons for mining. After the furnace was destroyed, the boat was abandoned, and no one usually comes here."

Wei Xi shook his head slightly and said directly, "These are all minor matters. How do you plan to deal with these demonic beasts?"

Zuo Fei found a cleaner spot, plopped down, and complained, "It's all your fault! I'm powerless right now, I might as well just wait to die!"

It is said that a great reputation is hard to live up to. Zuo Fei is now acting like a local thug, not at all like a savior master.

Seeing Wei Xi's gloomy expression, Zuo Fei changed her tune, saying, "I really have no other choice. The only way to kill these evil demons is during the Green Moon Tide. But I expended too much of my strength to unlock the cages, and by the time I recover, it will be too late!"

"Do you know a way to kill monsters?"

Zuo Fei glanced at Wei Xi before saying, "Yes, although you don't have any trace of Yin-Yang energy on you, you also don't have any metal on me, so it won't work!"

Knowing the result made the deduction much easier. Wei Xi was certain that the "metal" Zuo Fei referred to was the extremely pure gold root bone in his body. Even Gou Lang's body didn't have this, but Wei Xi had a lower-level substitute.

"Will these things work?"

Wei Xi held a pile of glittering gold spirit stones in his hands, showing a rare generosity.

"Is this the stone you used just now?" After getting permission, Zuo Fei took out a stone and examined it carefully. "Is the power inside my body? Where did you get this from?"

Wei Xi said calmly, "Can it be used or not?"

Hoping to get it back, Zuo Fei's spirits rose considerably. She nodded and said, "It can be used, but there won't be much left. Be prepared."

Seeing that he had latched onto the coattails of history, Wei Xi didn't care about spending some spirit stones on Lian Gouhan. With a wave of his hand, he emptied someone's Qiankun bag, leaving Zuo Fei dazzled.

"Excellent! This way we can kill the demon beast before the sacrifice is destroyed. I will die without regret!"

"Sacrificial offerings? When I arrived, the moss and its companions had already killed two or three boatloads of people."

Upon hearing this, Zuo Fei, who had fallen into the pile of spirit stones, stopped picking through them. She looked as if she had seen a ghost and asked in a trembling voice, "What did you say? What do you mean by two or three boats of people?"

Wei Xi had no choice but to quickly describe what he had seen and heard, emphasizing the balance scale.

Zuo Fei suddenly stood up, her face filled with grief and indignation. "Damn it! These demonic beasts are going to bring forward the Green Moon Tide!" (End of Chapter)
