Jiang Zhi was startled and quickly turned her head away!
After a while, with reddened ears, she looked back.
She simply couldn't resist her curiosity.
She saw that the man had turned around, his snow-white... buttocks glaringly obvious amidst the darkness...
"Splash!" He sauntered to the seaside and jumped in.
When he emerged again, he was once more covered in black "tassels"...
Jiang Zhi then realized that these weren't decorative tassels at all, but rather a bunch of fish!
This... this... this...
Jiang Zhi stood there dumbfounded, at a loss for words.
Was this man using himself as bait?!
Jiang Zhi couldn't help but walk forward, watching as the man rose from the sea once more. Only then did she clearly see his face.
It was... that man from before!
"It's you!" she exclaimed.
This immortal hadn't died after all!
Yi Feng heard the voice and looked up, spotting the woman in red.
Startled, he clenched his buttocks and quickly grabbed a wolf skin nearby to cover himself.
"Oh, it's you," Yi Feng coughed twice, pretending not to be embarrassed about being seen naked.
"Miss, weren't you waiting to die? You don't look like someone waiting for death at all."
The woman in red also coughed twice as she approached, her face still icy cold. If it weren't for her reddened ears, one couldn't detect any emotion at all.
"Who are you calling 'miss'?" the woman in red said coldly. "In terms of age, even your ancestors might have to call me ancestor."
"That's an exaggeration," Yi Feng said, kicking away a black fish that was still fiercely biting his toe. "Are you also here to catch fish for survival?"
Jiang Zhi neither confirmed nor denied, merely falling silent as she watched the black fish flopping about on the ground...
It was said that the Dark Shadow Island was located in the Dark Sea. In the sea, there were terrifying sharp-toothed Shadow-Devouring Fish.
These Shadow-Devouring Fish were entirely pitch-black, capable of eating humans, with highly toxic teeth.
These fish blended into the black sea, making them hard to detect. Once bitten, one would die from the poison.
Jiang Zhi looked at the fish flopping on the ground, and the more she looked, the more they resembled the descriptions from the legends.
"You like eating fish too?" Yi Feng, noticing Jiang Zhi's fixed gaze, enthusiastically explained, "These fish are so stupid, they're very easy to catch."
"It's simple, just put your hand in the sea and a bunch of idiot fish will come and bite you." As Yi Feng spoke, he put his hand into the sea. "Look, like this."
When he pulled his hand out, his arm was covered in fish.
"Easy, right?" he said, inviting her, "Want to try it together?"
As he spoke, Yi Feng warmly reached out to pull Jiang Zhi. "Come on, give it a try, it's fun!"
Jiang Zhi pushed Yi Feng's hand away.
"No need," she said, looking at the pile of fish on the beach, some dead, some still flopping.
This Dark Shadow Island was a place of no return. Although she knew of its existence, most of her knowledge came from celestial bamboo scrolls or hearsay.
The Shadow-Devouring Fish, too, she had only heard mentioned.
Though she had never seen them before, Jiang Zhi was now certain that the group of fish on the beach couldn't be them. Otherwise, how could Yi Feng be bitten and remain unharmed?
At that moment, a flopping black fish on the beach suddenly leaped up, about to bite Jiang Zhi.
Jiang Zhi raised her foot and calmly kicked the fish away.
"Truly stupid fish," Jiang Zhi muttered, "Biting him is one thing, but daring to bite me?"
"What did you say?"
Yi Feng hadn't heard clearly as Jiang Zhi's voice was too low, so he asked.
Jiang Zhi shook her head, "Nothing."
"By the way, I've found a way to get out of here. Do you want to come with me?" Yi Feng asked.
He suddenly remembered that he was preparing to drift across the sea with Manman.
If the journey took too long and he was alone all day, he feared he might go crazy.
It would be good to have someone to talk to.
Jiang Zhi looked at Yi Feng, raising an eyebrow, "You say you've found a way out?"
"Yes," Yi Feng nodded in response, without any hesitation.
Seeing Yi Feng's confident demeanor, Jiang Zhi couldn't help but look at him seriously.
"What's the method?"
"Drifting across the sea," Yi Feng pointed at the black ocean, "If we sail from here outwards, no matter how far, there must be an end."
"At that time, we'll be able to get out."
The woman in red looked in the direction Yi Feng was pointing, where the vast, endless black sea swallowed everything.
She was stunned for a moment, then laughed helplessly.
She found it amusing that she had seriously inquired about this from the man before her.
"In this world, countless people have entered, but not a single one has ever left," she said, her gaze fixed on the distant Dark Sea.
Indeed, the Dark Sea was not endless.
But at its end was an enormous restrictive array.
Trying to leave through the black sea was absolutely impossible.

While others must cautiously explore, Qi Xiao can rapidly develop his strength by relying on the station forecasts. [Next Station: Sunshine Gym, a large fitness center with no dangers.] [Next Station: Cai Family Village, contains zombie chickens, danger level: 2.

lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
