Reincarnated as the Death Spider Queen, sacrificing Bibi Dong at the start

Nan Feng looked around and suddenly frowned: "But... where are Arou and Yuehua? Why haven't we seen them at all?"

“Oh, Mom and her husband went shopping on the island by themselves,” Xiao Wu answered crisply. “They thought we were too noisy, so they didn’t come with us. They said it’s for us kids to play by ourselves, and adults need to have their own space.”

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Nan Feng's eyes, and his immense spiritual power was instantly released like a tidal wave, enveloping the entire Purple Pearl Island without any blind spots.

In just one second, he had a clear understanding of the situation on the island.

In his perception, Arou and Tang Yuehua were walking towards the seaside villa together with Zizhenzhu, who had just finished her work, chatting and laughing.

Meanwhile, the sea woman, along with Gu Yuena and Xue Di's "Ancient Beast Loli Squad," was also moving in this direction.

Not only that, Nan Feng raised an eyebrow slightly; his spiritual power detected two familiar auras on the secluded beach next to the resort—

Tang San and Xue Ke were walking side by side on the beach.

On the viewing platform not far from them stood Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe.

Nan Feng withdrew his senses and turned to look at Xiao Wu: "Did you see Tang San when you went out for a walk just now?"

Xiao Wu was taken aback, then shook her head blankly: "No, didn't Xiao San carry Xue Ke to the seaside house on the east side early this morning?"

"He's on the west beach of the resort next door right now, taking a walk with Xueke."

Nan Feng pointed in the direction next door and said to Xiao Wu, "Not only the two of them, His Highness the Crown Prince is also on that viewing platform over there."

"Go over there and ask them if they want to go into the sea to retrieve something. If they do, come and gather here quickly. Once everyone is here, I'll take you all down."

"Okay!" Xiao Wu nodded excitedly. "I'll go ask right away!"

With that, Xiao Wu grabbed Ning Rongrong's hand, and the two girls rushed out of the villa gate, hand in hand, and ran wildly towards the beach of the neighboring resort.

Watching those two carefree figures practically take flight, Nan Feng raised his hand and couldn't help but press hard on his aching stomach.

These two girls together are practically doubly destructive.

This pair of strategists are really letting loose more and more.

How should we manage this going forward...?

……

Before long, everyone who had received the notification gathered on the beach on the west coast.

Upon hearing that Nan Feng was going to personally lead a team down into the deep sea to "buy" and salvage treasures, the girls' enthusiasm was instantly ignited.

Even Tang Yuehua, who is usually dignified and elegant, and Arou, who has always maintained the image of a gentle elder, had an irrepressible glint of anticipation in their eyes.

After all, that's the deep sea!

For land-based Soul Masters, it was an absolute forbidden zone filled with mystery and the unknown.

Nan Feng has always been a decisive person. Seeing that everyone had arrived, he didn't waste any time and simply waved his hand, leading the large group to set off.

However, he did not choose to go to sea nearby.

The waters near Purple Pearl Island are mainly fishing areas where the island's natives and fishermen rely for their livelihood. He wouldn't stoop so low as to compete with ordinary people for their food.

So, Nan Feng used his spatial power to take everyone across hundreds of miles of sea to a completely undeveloped deep-sea area.

Originally, Nanfeng planned to have Xiaobai act as the "treasure radar".

However, when he made this request, Xiaobai scratched his head blankly.

As a sea spirit beast overlord who has lived for 100,000 years, her mind is filled with nothing but which sea area has the most delicious fish and which sea beasts are the most chewy.

As for pearls, seashells, and shipwreck treasures?

Sorry, those hard, inedible things are never on the Great White Shark's menu or within its scope of interest.

Expecting her to lead the way to treasure is less reliable than hoping the female divers won't go to casinos.

"Alright, it's better to rely on yourself than to chase after a shark."

Nan Feng sighed helplessly and had no choice but to personally lead everyone in a blind search.

"Om-"

With a thought from Nan Feng, the Vast Ocean Universe Cover was instantly activated.

A dazzling yet soft azure triangular light shield appeared out of thin air, steadily enveloping the dozens of people in the center.

The light shield not only easily isolated the terrifying deep-sea pressure that could crush steel, but also emitted a soft blue light, illuminating the originally pitch-black deep sea with every detail.

But the most bizarre thing about this artifact is its concealment.

For those inside the light shield, the outside world is a wondrous underwater world illuminated by blue light.

However, to marine life outside, this huge triangular light shield is completely invisible, and there is not even a trace of its presence.

……

Nan Feng maneuvered the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, descending steadily until he finally reached the deep seabed.

"Wow……"

Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and the others lay on the edge of the light shield, looking at the colorful coral reefs and the giant seaweed drifting with the current outside, and exclaimed in amazement.

This was the first time anyone had ever been to a place that ordinary people couldn't even set foot in. Because of the support of the peerless powerhouse Nan Feng, and the light from the divine artifact that dispelled the claustrophobia and darkness of the deep sea, the girls didn't know what fear was and curiously looked around.

Of course, the scenery of the deep sea is not all beautiful.

"Ah! What is that ugly thing?!"

Occasionally, one or two hideous deep-sea fish with fangs and glowing lanterns on their heads would swim by. Their visually striking ugliness would still frighten the little girls clinging to the edge, causing them to turn pale and jump around in panic.

Nan Feng ignored the group of girls who were shouting and making a fuss, and simply controlled the Vast Ocean Universe Cover to glide slowly along the seabed.

They searched aimlessly for almost half an hour, but the result was disappointing.

Aside from picking up some pretty but not very valuable seashells along the way, and a few decent-sized deep-sea pearls, there was no real "treasure" to be found.

Just as everyone's enthusiasm began to wane, Ning Rongrong's eyes suddenly lit up, like a little fox that had sniffed out a bone. She abruptly turned her head, tugged at Nan Feng's sleeve, and pointed in a direction:

"Teacher! Turn! Turn! Go east!"

Nan Feng raised an eyebrow, didn't ask any more questions, and directly manipulated the light shield to move at full speed in the direction Ning Rongrong pointed.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Ning Rongrong's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and she suddenly waved her hand: "Stop! This is it!"

As the light shield came to a steady stop, Ning Rongrong excitedly rubbed her hands together and gave orders to the people behind her:

"Everyone, get to work! Dig up the seabed right here!"

Everyone stared blankly at the seabed, which was devoid of any distinguishing features except for silt and seaweed, but out of trust, they rolled up their sleeves, gathered their soul power, and began to dig.

"Ding!"

After digging for a few minutes, Xiao Wu, who was at the forefront, suddenly felt something was wrong and pulled a hard object out of the mud.

"Um?!"

Xiao Wu rubbed the sea mud on her hands in confusion, and a gold coin that shimmered with a faint metallic luster under the blue light was revealed.

"Gold coins? But... the patterns on them are so strange. Wait, these aren't the gold soul coins that circulate on the mainland."

Ning Rongrong snatched the gold coin, examined it carefully in her palm for a moment, then gasped, her voice trembling with excitement:

"These are ancient gold coins that circulated on the mainland more than two thousand years ago! My father also kept a few in his study, which were collected as precious antique souvenirs!"

Xiao Wu looked at her with a blank expression: "The seabed is all mud, how did you know there was this thing here?"

"Hehe, intuition! Or rather, it's a talent!"

Ning Rongrong proudly raised her snow-white chin, "This is a unique talent of us Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Masters! Our Martial Soul is essentially a top-grade gemstone Martial Soul, and we are naturally able to have a strong affinity for these gold and silver treasures and rare minerals buried deep underground!"

"and……"

Ning Rongrong swallowed hard, her eyes shining as she stared at the mud beneath her feet.

"The treasure aura I sensed is immense; it's definitely more than just these few gold coins! Everyone, dig quickly, there must be a lot more down there!"

Upon hearing this, the group, who had initially been somewhat uninterested, suddenly became incredibly excited, digging frantically into the soil.

Even the usually dignified Tang Yuehua and the gentle Arou, somehow pulled out two small shovels and squatted on the seabed without any regard for their image, frantically digging alongside a group of girls.

As the silt was lifted layer by layer, a pile of rotten boxes that had long been decayed, as well as a large amount of rotten wood debris that had been eroded beyond recognition by the sea, were gradually exposed to everyone's eyes.

Scattered among those tattered boxes were numerous ancient gold coins, dull gemstones, and various gold and silver utensils.

Looking at the outlines of the rotten wood, the well-informed Tang Yuehua stopped shoveling, her expression becoming somewhat solemn:

"Judging from the arrangement of these logs and the scale of the remains, this... must have been a huge shipwreck in the past. Judging from the age of these gold coins, it's been so long that this is at least a shipwreck site from over a thousand years ago."

"A...a sunken ship?!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong, who had been digging most enthusiastically just moments before, turned pale instantly.

She dropped the mud-covered shovel as if she'd been electrocuted, her voice trembling slightly:

"Then...then there might be...corpses down there?"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding temperature seemed to instantly drop to freezing point.

The faces of Zhu Zhuqing, Shui Bing'er, Ye Lingling, and the other girls changed instantly. They dropped the gold and silver treasures they had dug up as if they had been electrocuted, and shrank behind Nan Feng, refusing to dig any further.

For girls, gold coins are certainly tempting, but the thought that there might be a pile of bones that have been soaking for thousands of years buried underneath instantly washes away any excitement of treasure hunting.

Looking at the group of trembling girls, Nan Feng rolled his eyes in annoyance, his face full of speechlessness:

"I'm begging you, can't you have some basic common sense?"

"Over a thousand years! And in the deep sea, in an environment of high pressure, high salinity, and countless scavenging microorganisms and marine life. Let alone a few fragile human corpses, even the bones of a titled Douluo would have been worn away by the salt and deep-sea fish after a thousand years, leaving not even a trace!"

Nan Feng looked at them as if they were illiterate: "Don't scare yourselves with your wild imaginations. Even if you dig through this seabed, you won't find a single corpse. Apart from stable metals like gold and silver and gemstones, most things in this extreme environment have long been decomposed and disappeared by nature."

Hearing Nan Feng's reasoned and well-founded explanation, everyone's expressions softened slightly.

But Ning Rongrong's expression remained somewhat stiff as she looked at the scattered pile of gold coins. She muttered softly:

"But... no matter what, these are all things belonging to the dead. Is it really okay for us to dig up the dead's belongings and take them away? Isn't that too unlucky?"

"unlucky?"

Nan Feng was speechless: "Do you really think that the gold soul coins you spend on the mainland haven't passed through the hands of the dead?"
