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

"Use your not-so-bright brains to think! The gold soul coins circulating on the mainland now are essentially mined from underground gold mines over the past thousands or tens of thousands of years!"

"People used to mine them, mint them, and use them. Then, when they died, they buried these gold coins in their graves as funerary objects. Hundreds of years later, tomb raiders dug them out of the piles of corpses, took them to banks to melt them down, and recast them into new gold soul coins, which eventually ended up in the hands of you young ladies!"

"Do you think that pristine gold soul coin in your pocket has accompanied countless rotting corpses over the past thousand years?"

"And those so-called antiques you have, especially those priceless soul tools, where do you think they came from?"

"The Douluo Continent has long since lost the tradition of making soul tools. The things you are using now are almost entirely dug out of ancient corpse piles!"

"The more advanced the soul tool, the more likely it is to be a burial item taken from a shriveled ancient corpse in a dark and damp ancient tomb!"

Chapter 386 From "Dead Man's Relics" to "An Old Septic Tank"

……

These words were spoken.

The entire room fell silent.

Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Shui Bing'er, and the others all looked down at the exquisite soul tool bracelets on their wrists or the storage belts around their waists. Their expressions instantly became incredibly interesting, and some even subconsciously wanted to take the bracelets off.

Seeing the girls' almost broken expressions, Nan Feng sighed helplessly, his tone softening slightly:

"Alright, don't be afraid, matter is conserved and cyclical."

"When you die hundreds of years from now, these soul tools in your hands will still be passed down to your descendants or other people. In the end, what everyone uses are all things that the dead have used."

"So, put away your pointless mental burdens. Do you think the living will let the dead block their way? Why waste real money on pitying ashes from over a thousand years ago?"

Standing to the side, Dugu Yan swallowed hard. Although her face was a little stiff, she couldn't help but retort, "Teacher, what you said makes sense, but... the dead should be respected. At the very least, we should show some basic respect to the dead, right?"

"Respect?"

Nan Feng slightly turned his head, his heterochromatic eyes revealing an undisguised indifference and disdain:

Why should I respect them?

"Just because they're dead?"

"Does a bandit or pirate who committed all sorts of evil deeds automatically ascend to heaven and become a saint the moment he breathes his last? Should I then bow down to him and be extremely respectful?"

"Who in this world doesn't die? What, does taking your last breath and stopping breathing automatically make you noble?"

Are the dead more valuable than the living?

"What kind of twisted values ​​do you have!"

"..."

Inside the deep-sea light shield, only the faint sound of seawater flowing outside the shield remained.

Everyone exchanged bewildered glances, their minds replaying Nan Feng's words, ultimately arriving at a bizarre yet irrefutable conclusion—

What the heck! I actually find what he said makes a lot of sense!

Looking at the group of girls who had been rendered speechless by his few words and were even beginning to develop a psychological aversion to the soul tools they possessed, Nan Feng sighed helplessly:

"Where have you all been listening to the materialistic and pragmatic values ​​I usually teach you?"

He pointed to the silt that had been turned up at his feet: "Alright, stop scaring yourself. If you want to dig, then keep digging. If you really don't like the dirt here and don't want to get your hands dirty, then just use a shovel or your martial spirit to dig."

At this point, Nan Feng suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and a wicked smirk curled at the corner of his mouth:

"I'm speechless. How come you weren't afraid when you were digging through the mud with your bare hands?"

"This deep-sea seabed has accumulated countless excrement and rotten residues of deep-sea fish and marine mammals over thousands of years. How can you not feel any remorse and just start digging through that old mud?"

"You're terrified of dead people's ashes, but aren't you afraid of having your hands covered in shit?"

Nan Feng deliberately dragged out his words, "Amazing, truly amazing."

These words were spoken.

The already quiet atmosphere inside the light shield instantly plummeted to freezing point.

"Wh...what?!"

The faces of Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Shui Bing'er, and the others instantly changed from pale to bright red, and then to a ghastly green.

Everyone turned their heads in unison, staring intently at Ning Rongrong as if she were a class enemy.

Ning Rongrong was also on the verge of collapse. Looking at her hands covered in black mud, she screamed in despair, "Don't look at me! I don't know either! This is my first time treasure hunting underwater!"

Everyone turned back in despair to look at Nan Feng.

They're dirty! They're no longer clean!

They just dug for treasure in a deep-sea cesspool with their bare hands!

"vomit……"

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, who are both known for their fastidiousness, even started to gag.

Looking at this group of unruly kids who were on the verge of a breakdown, Nan Feng was speechless.

To avoid the girls getting angry and actually rushing up to smear his face with that disgusting mud, he decisively took out two large buckets of pure fresh water that he had prepared in advance from his high-level storage soul tool and put them on the ground with a "bang".

"Go wash up quickly."

Even the most dignified Tang Yuehua couldn't hold back anymore. Everyone rushed forward and began frantically washing their hands and feet, as if they wanted to wash away all the bad luck they had accumulated in their lives.

After finally getting clean, these extremely insecure young ladies took out the simple diving suits they had bought on Purple Pearl Island from their storage soul tools and put them on.

This thing was actually a small invention that Nanfeng came up with to stimulate domestic demand on the island.

After all, most people on the Douluo Continent are landlubbers, so these land nobles who have come all the way to the maritime special zone will definitely want to go into the sea and experience the ocean.

So, he combined some rudimentary principles of soul guides with the concept of modern diving suits to create this thing.

And as he expected, this "deep-sea diving experience" project has consistently ranked among the top three most popular tourist attractions on Purple Pearl Island.

Especially those thrill-seeking nobles and wealthy women, after experiencing it, often spend a lot of money to buy those "luxury haute couture" diving suits with gold and diamonds to take back as souvenirs.

It's fair to say that diving suits alone have been a consistently popular and lucrative product on the island.

As for oxygen production, which is essential for diving, it's not worth mentioning to Nanfeng.

He went directly to Gengxin City, the metal capital, and used coercion, bribery, and blueprints to get those master blacksmiths to build a simple water electrolysis device according to his requirements.

Then, he set up a small factory on Purple Pearl Island, using tidal energy to generate electricity, then separating seawater to produce fresh water, and finally electrolyzing pure oxygen for compression and bottling.

On Purple Pearl Island today, a mature industrial chain has even formed that specializes in selling "deep-sea oxygen tanks".

Soon, the girls, who had wrapped themselves up like dumplings, threw themselves back into the enthusiastic digging work.

This time, however, they learned their lesson and none of them dared to directly attack. Instead, they all summoned their martial spirits or used various tools to start digging.

Nan Feng sat lazily to the side, quietly watching them fuss.

Qian Renxue also retreated to Nan Feng's side.

Whether it was the reserve of being the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire or the pride and fastidiousness inherent in Qian Renxue as a descendant of angels, she couldn't bring herself to dig for food in the mud like these girls.

But Princess Xueke clearly doesn't have that kind of idol image to maintain.

Although she grew up in the inner palace, she was naturally unconventional and bold.

Now that she has finally managed to get out of the water under the pretext of a "state visit," and with Tang San, a genius of the same age who makes her heart flutter, by her side, she is filled with a strong curiosity about everything in the seabed.

Tang San seemed to be handling this group of people with ease.

Unlike others who need to use tools, he directly activated the Tang Sect's ultimate technique, the Mysterious Jade Hand. His hands instantly became as hard as white jade and impervious to all poisons, showing no fear of the so-called deep-sea decaying matter.

In addition, his Purple Demon Eyes were as accurate as radar in the dim seabed. With his good eyesight and fast hands, Tang San managed to dig out a large number of well-preserved ancient gold and silver artifacts and jewelry from the mud in no time.

If these antiques, some over a thousand years old, were brought back to Tiandou City and put up for auction with a little hype and storytelling, they could easily fetch astronomical prices, attracting the nobles to bid wildly.

However, as the chief commander of this treasure hunt, Ning Rongrong was never satisfied with these treasures that could make ordinary people rich overnight, and kept urging everyone to continue digging.

Chapter 387 The Secret of the Deep-Sea Shipwreck: The Seven-Colored Illusionary Sea Dragon's Reverse Scale Armor Appears!

……

Soon, an hour had passed.

The scale of this shipwreck is ridiculously large, with the wreckage buried in silt covering the seabed for tens of meters in radius.

After an hour of hard work digging, a small, golden mountain had been visibly formed on the ground inside the light shield, with a large pile of gemstone jewelry shimmering with an alluring luster scattered around it.

But Ning Rongrong stared at the bottom of the pit, her brows still furrowed. Relying on the mysterious connection she had with the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, she always felt that the most powerful "treasure energy" was still deeper inside.

Gu Yuena dug for a while and then got bored and tired. She simply patted the mud off her hands, toddled over to Nan Feng, and snuggled into his arms, comfortably watching everyone work.

The ancient ferocious beasts, such as Zi Ji and Xue Di, had no interest in these pieces of broken copper and scrap iron that they could only look at but not eat.

But unable to resist Ning Rongrong's constant pleading and calling him "good sister," he had no choice but to stay and help with the digging.

at last!

"when!"

A dull metallic clang echoed from the bottom of the pit.

With everyone's combined efforts, the group finally dug out a strangely shaped metal box from deep within the thick silt.

The box is a full meter wide and tall, and more than two meters long.

The entire piece is a deep blackish-gray color, and the surface is covered with strange patterns. The material does not look like ordinary ironwood, but rather like it is cast from some kind of high-strength mixed metal. It has been soaked in the deep sea for thousands of years, yet there are no obvious signs of rust.

However, upon seeing the strangely sized and shaped black and gray box, the girls who had been so enthusiastic just moments before instantly changed their expressions and scurried away to Nan Feng's side like frightened rabbits.

Ning Rongrong pointed at the large box, her face pale, her voice trembling slightly:

"T-Teacher...this thing's size...it's not...a coffin, is it?!"

Nan Feng's eye twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Can you guys stop imagining these underworld things in your barren little brains?"

"Tang San".

"Go and open it."

"Huh?" Tang San looked completely bewildered.

But he couldn't disobey his master's orders, so he gritted his teeth and stepped forward.
