"Ugh...."
Han Bing's eyes widened as she continuously channeled her internal energy, trying desperately to pry the iron cage open with her hands.

But those were steel bars as thick as an arm—could even an elephant break free from such restraints?
Besides, she wasn't a mermaid and couldn't breathe underwater.
As soon as she opened her mouth, the salty sea water rushed in.
"Cough cough...."
After violently coughing twice, more sea water poured in, causing a burning pain in her lungs.
Clenching her teeth, she continued to exert force on the iron cage.
Some multicolored fishes even swam into the cage.
This scene involuntarily reminded Han Bing of a movie she recently watched, "The Disappearance of Her," where the female lead was tricked by a scumbag into diving and then locked in an iron cage to die.
She was so angry that she didn't sleep well that night, and now she found herself in the same predicament.
"Gurgle gurgle....."
Bubbles continuously rose to the surface of the water above the cage.
Ma Taishan and Long-hair exchanged glances, both snickering, "Seems like she's still fine, let her soak a bit longer!"
"Exactly, she's a top-notch expert, not so easy to faint."
"Pull her up after ten minutes!"
Glancing at their mobile phones, the two didn't pay further attention to Han Bing and started to tie up a bundle of detonators they took out from a box.
Any place where explosives are stored is always separated from the detonators.
At this moment.
On Qin Yu's side.
After searching the room and not finding any detonators or detonation devices, these piles of explosives were no different from mud without those two things—they had no power at all.
He sat down dejectedly on a box, watching the iron door that had been deformed by the force of a bay crocodile and wondering how much longer it could last.
Splash splash....
The sound of waves also reached his ears. Han Bing hadn't lied—the sea water was rising, and he could even smell the sea water scent in his nose.
Going out now to fight with the bay crocodile in the sea was basically no different from suicide.
He could only take it one step at a time.
He had agreed to be the leader of Dragon Gate for Lu Wenrou to temporarily make the Martial Alliance hold back, but he hadn't expected that just two or three days after coming to the provincial city, he would fall into a dire situation again.
Alas, there really is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
Qin Yu smiled bitterly, looking at the pitch-black sky, feeling completely uncertain, not knowing if he would see the sun of tomorrow.
Boom....
Another muffled sound.
Finally, the iron door cracked open under the strain.
A bay crocodile forcefully pushed its massive head through the gap.
However, its body was too large, and squeezing through in one go was difficult.
"Damn it...."
Qin Yu had been somewhat preoccupied, but when he saw the bay crocodile's brown eyes staring straight at him, cold sweat burst from his back.
Almost without thinking, he pushed open the ventilation shaft above him with both hands.

It was about thirty or forty centimeters wide, enough for a person to crawl through, but definitely too small for the bay crocodile.
Boom....
Another loud bang ensued as the bay crocodile forced half of its body into the room.
Luckily, Qin Yu had already climbed up through the ventilation shaft, and then held his breath, not daring to make a sound.
The bay crocodile thrashed its head back and forth at the doorway, but it couldn't squeeze its way in.
Phew....
Qin Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The bay crocodile couldn't get in, but he was also unable to leave through the ventilation shaft.
Just had to wait it out—better to be anxiety-ridden than swallowed by a bay crocodile.
Beneath the reef.
Ma Taishan and Long-hair had finished tying the necessary detonators, arranged them neatly, and put them back in the box.
"Bro Ma, it's about time!"
Long-hair glanced at his phone.
Although Ma Taishan was short in stature, a dwarf, he was nevertheless an expert on the Tiger Ranking and his status was definitely much higher than that of Changmao beside Living Yama.
"When it's up, you play first!"
Changmao's Adam's apple slid, his face wearing a vulgar expression.
"Umm... Let me do it!"
Ma Taishan was very pleased with Changmao's understanding, and he pulled the chain again, slowly bringing the huge iron cage up to the surface of the water.
Han Bing had been soaking in the seawater for a good ten minutes and had long since passed out unconscious.
She slumped in the iron cage, drenched and motionless.
"Damn, that's exhilarating!"
Changmao watched Han Bing in the iron cage without blinking, as her soaked singlet clung to her body.
The outline of her ample bust was completely outlined.
His eyes gleamed as he watched.
"Don't rush, this woman is no ordinary person. If she suddenly wakes up, she could twist off your neck with one hand. Like this, get two more iron chains!"
Ma Taishan said as he slightly moved his eyes.
"Okay!"
Changmao nodded and went to find the iron chains.
Ma Taishan opened the latch under the iron cage, and with a click, Han Bing fell out of the cage.
She thudded to the ground with a soft groan, but after being underwater for so long and deprived of oxygen, her brain couldn't wake up.
Shrrr...
Ma Taishan had no intention of tenderness or mercy. He started ripping Han Bing's clothes with his hands.
"Exciting..."
This urge for destruction sent a thrill through Ma Taishan; he had never imagined that one day he would be ripping the clothes off such an untouchable woman.
"Ma Ge, the iron chains are here."
Changmao came with two sets of iron chains, his Adam's apple moving vigorously as he saw Han Bing's half-exposed form.
"Bind her hands!"
"Shrrr..."
As Ma Taishan spoke, he reached out and tore off the last line of defense on Han Bing's body.
Afterward, he picked up the iron chains and bound her feet as well.
Now, Han Bing had taken the shape of a "big" character.
"Attach her to the wall!"
With Changmao's help, Ma Taishan bound the completely stripped Han Bing to the iron frame on the wall.
"Ma Ge, please!"
Changmao rubbed his hands, waiting for Ma Taishan to finish so it would be his turn.
"Heh heh, then I won't be polite!"
Ma Taishan began to take off his clothes.
"Hiss..."
But just then, the walkie-talkie set aside started blinking.
"Changmao, take it!"
Ma Taishan tilted his head.
"Alright!"
Changmao picked up the walkie-talkie and pressed the talk button: "What's up?"
"The boss said, the enveloping and rescue plan failed, the people from Dragon Gate didn't take the bait, and a lot of the coast guard is heading your way. Detonate the island, so you don't leave any clues!"
A sinister voice came through the walkie-talkie.
"Oh... okay!"
Changmao put down the walkie-talkie, glanced at Ma Taishan: "Ma Ge, let's deal with the business at hand first. It won't sink so fast after the explosion; we'll take this woman to the speedboat to have some fun, and then dump her into the sea for the sharks!"
"Damn, guess there's no other choice!"
Ma Taishan was somewhat displeased, but he could only execute Living Yama's order.
After Changmao took down the detonator from the wall and activated the mechanism with a box of detonators, he climbed up from below.
The explosives in that room were enough to crack open the small island, and once the seawater poured in, the island would be completely submerged.
After being washed by the seawater all night, there would be no evidence left.
