Chapter 939: Desert

Hearing Yang Na say such words, Li Huowang was momentarily stunned. He wanted to retort, but then he realized that Yang Na was not wrong. He couldn't refute her, nor should he.

If Ji Zai, Ba Hui, San Qing, the Five Wisdom Buddhas, and Dou Mu couldn't contend with them, then the enemy's strength must be immense. Naturally, Wusheng Laomu wouldn't be able to either. His current attempt to keep her out of it was indeed meaningless.

"But that's not right..." Li Huowang shook his head vigorously, trying to shift his perspective away from hers. A dull ache began to throb in his head.

"That's not how it is. You don't need to worry about things here. You can... you can... you can leave! Go home and get well! You're not Wusheng Laomu at all! Nana! You're just sick!"

Hearing this, Yang Na's expression turned slightly confused. "Get well? So, you mean I'm mentally ill? If I'm mentally ill, then what are you? Are you saying you're also mentally ill? Are Ji Zai, the Si Mings, and everything else just your delusions?"

As she spoke, Yang Na reached out and took Li Huowang's hand, looking at him with concern. "Huowang, you have to choose between being mentally ill and being a Si Ming. You can't say it's mental illness when it comes to me, but a Si Ming when it comes to you, can you?"

"But..." Seeing Li Huowang standing there with his brows furrowed and lips tight, Yang Na suddenly smiled. She wrapped her arms around him and kissed him heavily on the mouth.

Then she turned around, cupped her hands around her mouth like a megaphone, and shouted everything that had been suppressed in her heart towards the deep blue sea. "Ahh!!!"

Joyfully, she raised her hands, scarred with self-inflicted cuts, high above her head. The sea breeze gently tousled her hair, making her burst with the passion and vitality befitting her age. "I've decided not to kill myself! Since I control death, I'm going to give death to our enemies!"

"No matter if a Si Ming stands in our way, or a Great Si Ming! No matter what they are! We will kill them without mercy!"

Li Huowang watched her joyous and happy smile. He wanted to say something but didn't know what.

After all, compared to the past, the current Yang Na had shed many burdens from her heart and truly seemed much happier.

Li Huowang pondered for a long time, then finally let out a deep sigh, opened his arms, and pulled her into a hug from behind.

"Alright! Let's deal with them together! Let them come! Let them taste the consequences of provoking us, the Si Mings of Baiyujing!"

After speaking, he pulled a military knife from behind and handed it to Yang Na. He took her hand and firmly clasped her fingers around the hilt.

The best defense is offense. Since they couldn't avoid it, the only thing they could do was find every possible way to destroy whatever wanted to harm them!

Hearing a knocking sound on the iron door behind them, Li Huowang, who was embracing Bai Lingmiao, turned his head to see Zhao Shuangdian. "We're close to the coordinates. It's time to discuss our strategy."

Hearing this, the expression on Li Huowang's face gradually sobered. He led Bai Lingmiao into the ship's cabin.

A marine map was displayed on a tablet. As Zhao Shuangdian's finger quickly zoomed and swiped, the map rapidly expanded. "Our previous calculations were wrong. I originally thought it was on an island, but it appears to be underwater."

"Underwater? Are you saying we'll need to dive this time?"

"Yes, this environment will be extremely harsh. Although we've prepared diving suits, everyone needs to be extra careful."

"Beneath the deep sea..." Li Huowang frowned, staring at the deep-sea map on the tablet. He wondered to himself, "What kind of projection is this illusion? Could it be that the Si Ming's living place this time is very unusual, requiring the Si Mings of Baiyujing to prepare thoroughly beforehand?"

"There will be microphones in your diving suits. This time, Ling'er and I won't go down. We'll direct you from above using your cameras. Once you're underwater, everyone must follow my commands. If communication is lost, then everyone must follow Qing Wang's commands."

"And Li Huowang, your bulletproof vest won't be usable underwater, so don't be too reckless."

"My bulletproof vest is useless, so your firearms won't work underwater either, will they?"

"Don't worry about that," Qing Wanglai reassured him. "Ours won't work, and neither will theirs."

"Are you sure the projections we're fighting this time will still be human?" Li Huowang's question sent a chill through everyone present.

Li Huowang didn't believe there could be a hidden drug factory underwater.

After speaking, Li Huowang began to observe the others in the room. The girl with the twitching mouth was naturally there too. Like Chen Hongyu, she had also come back to life.

With her presence, the two men had, of course, already arrived.

There was a thin man with an indifferent expression and a muscular man with the character for 'bravery' tattooed on his shoulder. They seemed like mere spectators, rarely offering any opinions.

Li Huowang couldn't tell what kind of Si Mings these three were, but since they were with Zhao Shuangdian, they must be Si Mings from Baiyujing.

Without seeing the actual thing, guessing was pointless. Everyone began to put on their diving suits one by one and slowly descended the iron ladder.

Looking at the seawater below, Li Huowang removed his oxygen mask and looked up at Yang Na. "Once we're down, stick close to me."

"I'm not that weak. Don't forget, I'm the Si Ming who controls death! I can't die."

Before Li Huowang could explain the story of Qian Fu, the previous Si Ming of Death, Yang Na had already jumped directly into the icy water.

The water was very cold. When Li Huowang jumped in, he immediately felt a jolt throughout his body. Then, Zhao Shuangdian's voice came through his ear.

"Hello? Can you hear me? If you can hear me, please cross your arms in front of your camera."

Li Huowang crossed his arms in front of his shoulders, then immediately lowered them, looking at everything underwater.

When he saw the seafloor, he was immediately stunned. He saw a desert—he actually saw an entire desert at the bottom of the sea.

Golden sand dunes undulated, appearing incredibly dreamlike under the hazy reflection of the water's surface.

"What on earth is going on? Is this where Yu'er God lives, so strange?"

As Li Huowang was observing the scenery below, Qing Wanglai pulled out two sticks from behind and snapped them open. A dense green mist began to waft from them, gradually dyeing the surroundings green.

"What is San Qing doing with his Heavenly Dao?" Li Huowang watched everything around him warily. It seemed San Qing had come prepared.

Just then, Zhao Shuangdian's explanation came through Li Huowang's earpiece. "This is shark repellent. It can prevent attacks from marine life. Follow Ling'er; don't fall behind."

Although everyone was wearing diving suits, Ling'er, who twitched occasionally, was very noticeable.

Even underwater, she was still rapidly typing on her small computer, though this time the keyboard was embedded on the arm of her diving suit.
