The food problem was temporarily solved, and Bai Qiyun took Coral Palace Xinhai into the messy cave that was disturbed by the phaseless water.

Looking at the coral shells lying on the stone wall like weeds, I felt like crying without tears.

These are all living molas. A single coral pearl can be sold for millions of molas in the outside world. If it were taken from Liyue, where rich people are everywhere, the value might be doubled several times.

But now I am being ruined by monsters.

She would rather be ruined than have these pearls be ruined.

Seeing Xinhai's crying face, Bai Qiyun didn't know how to comfort her. He could only stay by her side silently and walked around the entire cave.

"It's over...it's all over."

Xinhai originally had a trace of luck in his heart, but now this luck has been completely shattered by the reality before his eyes.

She covered her face, feeling so sad that she couldn't help crying.

Seeing this, Bai Qiyun could only sneak aside to give her space to vent herself.

He also doesn't have much experience in dealing with women in this state.

"Um?"

Arriving at the place where the formless water exploded, the remains of the formless water still remained here.

"It's really worthy of that turtle shell."

Bai Qiyun leaned down and kept rubbing the broken inert element shell.

Perhaps because the elemental core has dissipated, the inert elements inside these shells have also begun to transform into normal free elements, slowly disappearing into the air.

He tried to squeeze the outer shell twice with his hands, but found that even though he lost the support of the core, he still could not shake it at all.

This kind of thing can resist the elements and has super strong physical resistance. If it can be made into armor, its defensive power will be extremely terrifying.

But it is a pity that even the Xumi Order Academy cannot develop stable inert elements, let alone make them into armor.

Looking at the dissipated elemental shell, Bai Qiyun couldn't help but feel a little pity, but there was no good way to keep it, so he had to look past it and look at the big hole drilled by the phaseless water.

Next to the wreckage, a dark hole stood there, like a tunnel leading to an abyss, leading to the inside of the cliff.

"Where did this thing come from?"

Bai Qiyun held his chin and kept thinking in his mind.

The people of the Coral Palace will not make a rash move and directly locate the coral pearl oyster breeding site next to the phaseless water.

In other words, when you first chose to use this cave as a breeding site, you should have confirmed that there were no traces of monsters nearby.

"That means this thing really came from somewhere else? Huh?"

With such thoughts in mind, Bai Qiyun glanced at the tunnel leading to an unknown place with his peripheral vision, only to find that there was glowing powder stuck to the wall of the tunnel.

"This is..."

If it weren't for Bai Qiyun's sharp eyes, he wouldn't have been able to spot these scattered powders in the dim place.

He leaned down, took a handful of soil into his hand and looked at it carefully.

These fine powders are crystal clear and look like fragments of something, not things that naturally exist in the soil.

After looking at it for a long time, Bai Qiyun always felt that it looked familiar, but he couldn't imagine where he had seen this thing before.

He didn't remember until Yan Duola in his backpack reminded him.

'Silly, isn't that stuff just powdered coral pearls?'

"yes!"

In an instant, Bai Qiyun's mind suddenly became clear, and all the previously confusing things were answered at this moment.

Why did the phaseless water suddenly attack the cave that is the breeding ground for coral and pearl oysters? Naturally, it was attracted by the pearl powder.

As for why coral pearls caused the riots in the phaseless water, Bai Qiyun still doesn't know.

But one thing he was sure of was that this incident was man-made.

After all, monsters cannot grind coral pearls into powder.

"Xinhai, I said..."

Bai Qiyun turned around and found that his heart was still depressed.

"I found something, come and take a look."

"oh."

The girl walked over listlessly, until she was next to Bai Qiyun, and subconsciously leaned on his shoulder.

"Good weight."

"Don't say such words at this time."

Xinhai followed Bai Qiyun's direction and discovered the pearl powder in the tunnel, and his eyes instantly became sharp.

After all, she is the leader of Haiji Island and her reactions are extremely quick.

In just a few breaths, she thought clearly about what Bai Qiyun discovered, and even went one step further.

"Damn."

She bit her nails, her face gradually became manic, her mouth grinned uncontrollably to both sides, and there was even a flash of killing intent in her eyes.

This was the first time Bai Qiyun saw her with such an expression, and he couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

Ugh...women are so scary.

In a place he didn't know, all kinds of information kept flashing through Coral Palace Xinhai's little head.

First of all, this incident is man-made, and secondly, why is it tempting the phaseless water to attack the coral and pearl oyster breeding base.

Who would benefit from this?

Selling the output of coral and pearl oysters is actually a thing that benefits all islanders. Destroying this place will only bring losses to everyone.

Xinhai's thinking was stuck at this step, but she soon discovered the limitations of her thinking.

Since destroying the breeding base is harmful to everyone, in other words, the other party's purpose is not to destroy the breeding base, or in other words, this is not the main purpose.

Thinking of this, Xinhai glanced at Bai Qiyun, who was also thoughtful beside him.

"The purpose...the timing...it turns out that this is not a coincidence."

Xinhai murmured to himself.

"what are you saying?"

"It's nothing, I just want to understand something. I'm sorry, Mr. Bai, you are involved in this matter."

"No, I wasn't injured either. On the contrary, Haiji Island suffered a lot of damage."

Seeing the renewed confidence in Coral Palace Xinhai's eyes, Bai Qiyun couldn't help but pray for some people.

Hopefully the culprit's fate will be a little milder.

However, Xinhai was able to figure out the ins and outs of the matter so quickly, which was somewhat beyond his expectation.

Obviously I just saw some pearl powder.

"No, if this matter goes as expected, it is really related to you."

Facing Xinhai's burning gaze, Bai Qiyun realized that his previous words were not polite, and couldn't help but fall into silence.

"you mean..."

"Perhaps some people don't want to see my cooperation with you, or in other words, they don't want to see Haiji Island increase its contacts with the Liyue Chamber of Commerce.

"

That's right, as Bai Qiyun has not announced his identity, only his identity as a Liyue person is known to the people of Haizhi Island.
