Tian Xie squinted at Qin Yi, gesturing for him to continue.

Because Qin Yi was right, he had also tried just now; that Dragon Scale weapon was difficult to harm, not to mention he was now bare-handed.

Qin Yi pondered for a moment and continued, "You also saw, the reason the Giant Dragon is trapped underwater is all because of those four Giant Spears."

"Tian Xie, all we need is to pull out the spears, let the Giant Dragon float to the surface, and then it’ll be at our mercy."

Tian Xie was stunned for a moment, then looked at Qin Yi with disdain.

"Qin Yi, you must be dreaming."

"You tried to pull out the spears just now, but you couldn’t even shake the chains. Do you think we two together can pull out the spears?"

"Unless your and my cultivation recover, maybe we could try. Saying we’ll pull out the spears now is utterly delusional."

"Qin Yi, I always thought you were smart, didn’t expect you to be really stupid."

Qin Yi’s mouth twitched a few times, really wanting to slap this guy to death.

He mocked, "Who’s stupid? You or me? Tian Xie, solutions rely on human ingenuity."

"I’ve already thought of a way to pull out the spears. If you disagree, then get lost, I’m too lazy to cooperate with a fool like you."

Tian Xie was about to get angry when Evil Lord spoke, "You really have a way to pull out the spears."

"Old ghost, your disciple is an idiot, don’t think everyone in the world is like him."

"Just because you can’t think of a way doesn’t mean Qin doesn’t have one."

"Now I’ll ask you one question: cooperate or not? If not, then leave at once."

"If I manage to pull out the spears later and you dare touch a single Dragon Scale, I swear I’ll dismember you."

Tian Xie’s gaze turned cold, taunting, "I don’t believe you have a way."

"Fine, we’ll cooperate with you," said Evil Lord.

"Master, do you really believe he can pull out the spears?"

"What harm is there in believing him for now? If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t affect us."

Qin Yi sneered, "Idiot, learn more from your master, you still have a long way to go."

"You..."

"Qin Yi, since we choose to cooperate, let’s not bicker," Evil Lord interjected.

Qin Yi sneered twice, "Wait here, I’ll go down to observe again and tell you how to pull out the spears when I return."

Without giving Tian Xie a chance to speak, Qin Yi leapt into the water and disappeared.

"Master, should we go down to take a look?"

"No need, the Dragon Scale weapon is difficult to harm, even if he has the Flood Dragon Spear, he can’t do much. Be patient and wait, he can’t pull any tricks here."

"However, move away from this spot a bit to prevent him from attacking suddenly from the water."

Tian Xie froze, floated to the surface, and left his previous spot.

"Master, your foresight is really thorough."

Evil Lord chuckled, indifferent.

...

Qin Yi dived to the bottom, directly reaching the front of the Giant Dragon’s head, standing in the water and bowing to the Giant Dragon.

He didn’t know if the Giant Dragon could feel it.

Then, he came to the Giant Dragon’s ear, relying on a breath of air, shouted, "I’m here to rescue you. If you can hear me, when I pull out the first Giant Spear, bear it, don’t make any noise, otherwise..."

The rest was drowned out by the water, Qin Yi nearly choked.

These few words were shouted with all his might, the airflow in the air separating the water, yet he wasn’t sure if the Giant Dragon could hear.

That desperate shout emptied all his oxygen.

Qin Yi hurriedly swam to the surface.

Breaking through the water, he took large breaths of fresh air.

Tian Xie looked at Qin Yi, sneering, "Your lung capacity is really too small."

"None of your business."

"You..."

"Alright, stop arguing. Have you thought of a way to pull out the Giant Spears?"

Evil Lord timely interrupted their quarrel.

Qin Yi sneered, "I thought of it long ago, just went down to confirm if the method is feasible."

Evil Lord said, "Then tell us your method."

Qin Yi pondered for a moment, then said:

"You should have noticed that those four statues face the Giant Dragon, one end of the chain is held in the statue’s hand."

"Rubbish, does that even need to be said..."

"Shut your mouth," Qin Yi directly interrupted Tian Xie’s words, "If you have a way, then say it."

Tian Xie turned blue with anger.

Qin Yi glanced at him dismissively and continued, "I just went down to check, those chains are embedded in the hands of the statues."

"So what?" Tian Xie sneered, "Do you expect the statue to pull the chain and extract the Giant Spears?"

"Though you haven’t understood, I must say you guessed it right. I’m going to have the statues pull out the chains."

Tian Xie was full of sarcasm, "Qin Yi, have you gone mad or lost your mind? Those statues are dead and weigh thousands of tons..."

"Qin Yi’s method is feasible."

Before Tian Xie could finish speaking, Evil Lord suddenly interjected.

Tian Xie was dumbfounded, with a face full of disbelief.

"Master, you really believe he can make the statues extract the spears."

Qin Yi dismissively said, "Tian Xie, it’s best for foolish people to talk less, otherwise it exposes your low intelligence. You still have a long way to go, learning from your master will do no harm."

"The statues certainly can’t extract the spears, but we can make them do it."

Tian Xie was still puzzled.

Qin Yi’s face showed increasing scorn, disdainfully said, "Call you stupid, yet you insist on showing off. I’ve explained it so clearly, and you still don’t understand, was your brain kicked by a donkey or crushed by a woman’s thighs?"

Tian Xie’s face was filled with rage.

"You have no right to be angry, calling you stupid is to enlighten you. Learn more, idiot."

"All we have to do is hollow out the ground behind the statues’ feet, let the statues fall backward, their thousand-ton weight will pull out the spears pinning the Giant Dragon, got it?"

Tian Xie’s face showed realization but soon turned disdainful, sneering, "I thought it was some brilliant scheme, you’re only capable of minor cleverness."

"It’s this minor cleverness that will lead to major rewards for you later. Fool."

"You..."

Tian Xie was so angry his lungs nearly exploded.

Qin Yi sneered, "No more you and me, admitting you’re stupid isn’t wrong. Pretending to know what you don’t, refusing to correct mistakes is truly foolish."

Not giving Tian Xie a chance to retort, Qin Yi shook off the water from his body, "Get ready to work, we still need to find a way out after getting what we want, or we’ll starve to death here."

With that said, Qin Yi plunged again into the water, heading for the bottom.

Tian Xie’s face turned black with anger, like he had lost his parents.

"Tian Xie, now isn’t the time to lose your temper, prioritize the bigger picture."

Tian Xie took a few deep breaths, calmed his inner rage, and nodded, "I understand, Master."

Saying so, he too jumped into the water, diving down.
