Chapter 158: The Male Corpse I must have been blind to miss a Tomb-guarding Beast of that size. I berated myself inwardly. I also had to admit I was overthinking things. Sometimes, the more a person prepares for the worst, the easier it is to mess things up. I was exactly that kind of person. This was my first time leading a team underwater, and we were in the deep waters of the South China Sea. Moreover, I had Liang Si right beside me, so I hadn't planned on letting people split up to explore…-

Chapter 157: A Wall? I sat on the edge of the boat, my gaze hidden behind diving goggles as I looked toward Liang Si and his group. They were swearing loudly and splashing water at the side of the vessel, looking extremely relaxed. I tightened the strap on my wrist and watched them quietly. The reason Liang Si and his men were so at ease was that, including myself and Bai Shenxian, I had only brought four people down. On their side, they had at least seven hands, and they had even brought along that…

Chapter 156: Leave None Alive Whether it was my words or my posture, Liang Si finally began to re-examine me. I wasn't afraid of his scrutiny. As he could see, I was a fresh face in this business. Fourth Brother had never brought me to any of the Pankou to show me off. Liang Si and his lot were the type who knew someone like me existed but had never seen me in person. Their current hesitation stemmed precisely from the fact that they couldn't gauge my depth. Liang Si's eyes darted around before he…

Chapter 155: The Art of the Bluff He Yu glanced at the two of us and pointed an accusing finger at me. "Hey, hey, hey, what's the meaning of this? You two are bullying me because I can't read the room, aren't you?" I stood up, hooked my arm around his neck, and pulled him aside. "I have a plan, but it's a last resort," I whispered. "Just watch me work. Stand to the side with a dark expression and act like you're extremely impatient." Next, I had Xiao Wu move some furniture. I told him to place a…

Chapter 154: A Dead End The cold sea breeze blew as everyone huddled together, clutching their meals. I had come up late and was standing on the outer edge of the crowd. When He Yu saw me, he forced his way through several workers to make a path, insisting I stand next to Liu Wan. I hadn't realized how intense it would be until I got there. My heart began to race as dozens of eyes fixed simultaneously on me and Liu Wan. Given my usual nerves—where even reporting a school assignment required a…

Chapter 153: Entering the Game I mentally sifted through his words again. This meant that after He Yu had surfaced, Fourth Brother and Lu Ayao had entered the head of that massive Tomb-guarding Beast alone to investigate. During that process, something must have happened—something that likely led directly to Lu Ayao developing a fever once he was back on the ship. Fourth Brother hadn't told me about any of this. He Yu had surfaced before they were even halfway through, so he didn't know about this…

Chapter 152: High Fever The deck suddenly became quite lively. I followed alongside Fourth Brother and watched as the netting attached to the ship's hull slowly rose, carrying a heavy load of Sea-Salvaged Porcelain. I took a quick look; some were porcelain shards, others were broken ceramic jars, most of them still covered in a briny, earthy scent. Leaning over the railing, I watched the crew from the other research vessel transfer the netting onto their deck. Fourth Brother lit a cigarette and said,…

Chapter 151: The History of Two Families I found his conclusion utterly absurd, so I repeated his words back to him. "You're saying that what's under our boat isn't a tomb, but a graveyard, right?" "Exactly!" He Yu slapped the table with conviction. I gave a disdainful smile and turned back to fiddle with my silk threads. "Listen to yourself and tell me if that makes any sense. Everyone knows that undersea graveyards are formed by the influence of wind, tides, and ocean currents. This isn't some…
