Qin Siyang looked at the Skeletal Bream, and the Skeletal Bream looked back at him.
"Um, Lord Holy Skeletal Bream, what I mean is, I don't want to..."
"That's not allowed either."
Qin Siyang fell silent for a moment, feeling that the Skeletal Bream was deliberately toying with him.
He had chatted with Qin Siyang for ages, waiting until Qin Siyang had stated his position and explained his reasons before deciding to refuse him.
He was definitely still holding a grudge over those ribs Qin Siyang had taken.
Stingy fish.
"All right, I understand. Thank you, Lord Holy Skeletal Bream."
With that, Qin Siyang bowed to the Skeletal Bream.
Qin Siyang still insisted on observing all the courtesies, since he had no idea whether the Skeletal Bream might pull something behind his back.
When facing an Upper Ruler, someone of lower standing had to swallow their resentment for the time being, however great it was.
His vision went black, and Qin Siyang found himself back on the reef rocks.
This time, all that remained before him were six black sand paths stretching into the distance, and six islands far away.
Standing on the reef rocks, Qin Siyang was still frustrated that he had been unable to obtain every last bone fragment in the Bone Forest.
"Feels like I missed a golden opportunity... Huh?"
As he spoke, Qin Siyang's gaze suddenly fell on the reef rocks beneath his feet. "If I remember right, these rocks weren't here at the beginning either. They only appeared after the trial, didn't they?"
With that, Qin Siyang grabbed the Godslayer Spear and thrust it into the reef rock beneath him.
Clang!
A sharp ring sounded as metal struck stone, sending sparks flying.
But the rock was completely unscathed, without even a scratch.
"Holy crap! Treasure!"
