Chapter 461 Harvest 1
The skeleton did not pursue as closely as Wei Xi had imagined.

The sound was so persistent that it was simply because the corals in the Bone Reef Sea were so productive that they had consumed so many lives that they vomited all the way here.

There was absolutely no intention to target Wei and Qin.

Wei Xi watched as a skeleton slid down along the water film, its skull almost hitting her forehead.

As Wei Xi stared at the two dark, empty skulls, a thought suddenly popped into his head: his own skull was probably more aesthetically pleasing.

Wei Xi tried to bring his thoughts back to the present. Looking around, he saw that the path the two had taken to escape was littered with skeletons.

It's clear that the coccyx hasn't gone hungry all these years.

"These were all hidden inside the wall?" Qin Feng asked in astonishment. "Where did so many people come from?"

Wei Xi couldn't answer her right now, but Qin Feng's question made her doubt the rumors about the Bone Reef Sea that were flying everywhere.

Based on Wei Xi's personal experience, those rumors had absolutely nothing to do with the Bone Reef Sea itself.

So where do these irresponsible rumors come from?

Before Wei Xi could think further, the skeleton in front of him suddenly lunged forward, its body bulging out in an exaggerated arc in front of the water film.

The alert Qin Feng reacted quickly and promptly wrapped Wei Xi up.

Fortunately, the water film was stronger than expected, stopping the skeleton that had once again fallen silent.

Qin Feng suddenly asked, "Did you hear that?"

Wei Xi: ?
A look of surprise and doubt crept onto Qin Feng's face. "...It sounds just like the voice I heard before!"

Qin Feng was referring to the sound she heard after being bitten by a snake, at which time she also saw people dressed in different clothes standing in the passageway.

Wei Xi's heart sank as he was put down—could it be that these people are not quite dead yet?
"I understand!" Qin Feng slapped his tail sharply and said in a loud voice, "The snake venom hasn't been completely cleared out yet!"

Wei Xi, who is unable to speak: I feel like something is not right.

The good news is that this underwater tidal pool is currently safe.

Wei Xi reluctantly looked away and began to observe the environment of the tidal pool.

"I'm heading straight for Dingxin Gate," Qin Feng's voice became background music, "I wonder if they can get rid of all this snake venom."

"I can't stand the auditory hallucinations every day. In a battle between masters, there can be no mistakes!"

"Or I could go back and catch a snake! That way, the people from Dingxin Sect can find the right remedy!"

Even though Wei Xi couldn't speak yet, out of concern for Qin Feng's life, she still dissuaded him from this extremely risky idea with a disapproving look.

It's hard to go from extravagance to frugality, and Wei Xi, exhausted both physically and mentally, rarely felt unfortunate that he was mute.

The tidal pool had clearly been meticulously arranged: the rack where Yu Xianzhou had been imprisoned was covered with a large amount of snake molts, which looked quite soft and had been pressed into irregular shapes, suggesting that a rather large creature had once resided there; near the rack grew a sickly coral, with some brightly colored seashells and various styles of jewelry hanging from its branches, most likely the relics of those unfortunate souls outside; where the furnace roof had once been, it had sunken down, becoming the lowest point of the pool, where seawater was always stored, and several turtle shells of different sizes sat steadily.
With Qin Feng's help, Wei Xi was surprised to find that the turtle shell contained various paintings.

Some were blueprints engraved on metal plates, clearly from Deadwater City; nearly half were maps and illustrations torn from books; only a few books had text that seemed to have some connection to the script of the Northern Frontier, and judging from the titles, they should be related to demonic beasts. Qin Feng's eyes lit up, he pulled the turtle shell over, picked out those books, and showed them to Wei Xi.

Wei Xi, who had initially held out hope, turned pale after reading the contents: the rest of the book was badly damaged, indicating that it had been handled roughly, and only a few parts were still legible, with very similar characters.

It's "siltation and drought," and Wei Xi is truly at a loss—unexpectedly, the tailbone trapped here hasn't changed his true nature and is still a brother-obsessed person!
How many good words could a book written by humans possibly contain? It's no wonder that these books have been ruined like this by the Tail Clan.

"Strange!" Qin Feng gestured for Wei Xi to look at the drawing in her hand. "This looks a lot like a city defense map of Ju City."

Even if Wei Xi knew nothing about military affairs, he would know that city defense maps were important. How could they appear in the Eastern Yi region, thousands of miles away?
“I said it looks like it,” Qin Feng said decisively. “When I was a child, I peeked into my grandfather’s study and it was quite different from this one, but the basic orientation of the city and the location of the city walls are correct!”

“It might be a city defense map from decades ago,” Qin Feng paused, then hesitated, “or perhaps it was drawn for teaching purposes.”

Still recovering from serious injuries, Wei Xi couldn't keep up with Qin Feng's train of thought; his eyes, though clear, held a hint of foolishness.

"Do you remember when the Tenth Princess sent people before? If there were cartographers among them, it's hard to guarantee there won't be a precedent. It's not surprising that these masters and apprentices would draw some teaching diagrams."

Wei Xi's somewhat slow-witted mind suddenly realized: Tail is probably illiterate, and having been trapped in the Bone Reef Sea for so many years, it can probably only pick up some paintings to read.

Wei Lu has never denied that he is illiterate, which is chilling to think about!
The seawater above the tidal pool was held up by a special force, which created a space on the seabed. However, Wei Xi couldn't see any trace of the restriction set up by someone.

Qin Feng released [Tethering Silk], and after a light touch, he ruled out the possibility of Yin and Yang energy.

Looking at the [Tethered Silk] that Qin Feng had entrusted to him, Wei Xi's doubts were thrown to the back of his mind, replaced by endless regret—if the [Tethered Silk] was truly the warp and weft of heaven and earth, wouldn't it be easy to escape?
Unfortunately, [Qian Si] is both greedy and lazy, with only a vague sense of ability, completely following its own bad habits!

Wei Xi withdrew his disappointed look and directed the nimble Qin Feng to scrape the ground three feet deep.

It wasn't Wei Xi's greed that drove him; it was simply that there was no way forward, which led him to this desperate measure.

The thought that the Bone Reef Sea, originally intended to trap the monsters, would become his burial place filled Wei Xi with a deep sense of dread.

The predecessors dug the pit, and the successors got trapped in it—how absurd!

It must be said that Wei Lu kept his dwelling quite tidy. Apart from the plundered decorations, there was nothing of value in the tidal pool.

After searching for nearly an hour, Qin Feng returned empty-handed.

"Xiao Xi, this monster is incredibly poor, we haven't found a single useful clue," Qin Feng changed the subject, eager to try, "Does it carry any treasure with it? You wait here, I'll go search the body!"

Wei Xi glanced at Qin Feng, who, after feeling guilty, mustered his courage and met her gaze.

However, Qin Feng quickly realized that this was not a good idea—Wei Xi was currently unable to move around and could not be separated from others at all. If something happened to him, wouldn't he be implicated?
"You've grown up!" Qin Feng silently admonished himself. "I can't act as recklessly as before! Especially now, Wei Xi is seriously injured, and Lian Gouyan is an idiot. Besides me, who else can I rely on?"

Wei Xi noticed that Qin Feng's expression had become resolute and felt a little strange.

But this did not stop Wei Xi from instructing Qin Feng to open the Qiankun bag and take out his weapon.

Now that the biggest threat, Tail Girdle, was dead, Wei Xi decided to resort to some brutal methods.
