Unfortunately, Gu Mian was still a step too late.

Before she could turn and retreat, the fish-headed monster spotted her.

The next second, the fish-headed monster swam quickly toward her.

What a fast speed!

Gu Mian was startled and immediately turned around and swam towards the entrance of the maze.

The fish-headed monster chased closely behind, raising its hand and forcefully throwing the harpoon.

The harpoon slicing through the armor with a piercing "sizzle" before falling to the ground.

Thankfully, she put on her crimson armor before entering the ruins!

Gu Mian glanced back with lingering fear and saw the fish-headed monster picking up a harpoon.

Turning back, Gu Mian continued swimming towards the entrance and quickly opened the light screen to edit a message: "I have a Tier 4 pollutant here. Are you coming to fight it on the seabed?"

Xu Kun: "!!!"

Xu Kun: "Fight! I'm going to get some underwater gear first, then pull me up!"

Jiang Bai: "Wait a minute!"

Gu Mian used the team-up card to send invitations to the two people, then switched to the chat channel to continue editing the message:

"I am at the underwater ruins, where there are many third-order contaminants and one fourth-order contaminant."

Defeating Tier 3 pollutants will not only earn you points but also drop a golden treasure chest. Anyone interested?

Those who come need to bring their own underwater gear, then add me as a friend and send me 1000 points. I will then invite you using a team-up card.

The chat channel exploded the moment the message was sent.

"!!! Underwater ruins??? I haven't even figured out what's happening on land yet, and you're already at the bottom of the sea???"

"You're such a kind person, boss! You discovered the ruins and shared them with us! I'll go help you fight monsters right now!"

"Hehehe! Points, here I come! Treasure chest, here I come!"

...

The number of friend requests instantly reached 99+. Gu Mian accepted the friend requests while dodging the attacks of the fish-headed monster.

She always uses team cards to invite anyone who has given her points.

"It's so dark! I never knew the seabed was this dark!"

"This pollutant is so strange! It's even wearing a crown on its head."

"Hahaha, this ugly fish-headed monster is actually a mermaid? Don't be so funny!"

"Didn't they say there were many Tier 3 pollutants? Where are they? Why do I only see a Tier 4 fish-headed monster?"

The players had just teleported over, and they were all talking at once, making the scene a bit chaotic.

Gu Mian took out a megaphone and put it to her mouth, saying loudly, "I cleared this passage beforehand. The third-level pollutant is gone. Only after this fourth-level pollutant is cleared can we go to other passages."

Upon hearing the sound, the other players turned to look, and then began to whisper among themselves.

"So this is Gu Mian? She's so beautiful!"

"Waaaaah, I finally met my idol! He's exactly like I imagined!"

"Damn it! How can someone be so amazing and good-looking at the same time! How are we ugly and incompetent people supposed to survive?!"

"Shut up! You wretched humans!" The fish-headed monster leader, who had finally caught up, found that the person he was chasing had turned into a group, and this group was still chattering incessantly. He was furious and threw his harpoon at them.

"ah!"

"Fuck!"

Players twisted their bodies to avoid the harpoons.

At the same time, Xu Kun and Jiang Bai also gathered around Gu Mian.

"What cool armor!" Xu Kun stared at Gu Mian's deep red armor with sparkling eyes, his fingers itching to reach out and touch it.

With a sharp "slap!", Xu Kun's hand was slapped down by Jiang Bai.

"Don't be a hooligan."

Xu Kun covered his hand, his face full of indignation: "What do you mean by being a hooligan? I just wanted to touch this armor."

"Stop joking around." Gu Mian rolled her eyes at them and fired a shot at the fish-headed monster.

Just as the energy blast was about to hit the fish-headed monster's head, it surprisingly raised its shield!

[Health Points - 300]

With its health reduced, the fish-headed monster roared in anger: "You wretched humans, how dare you attack me! I curse you all!"

[You have been cursed by the Fish-Headed Monster, and will lose 10 health points per second.]

"Holy crap! I'm cursed! My health keeps dropping! What do I do?!"

"I've been cursed too! What a vicious fish-headed monster! I'm doomed, I only have 100 health points left!"

"Hurry up and use your potions! Healing potions, healing pills, take them all out! All we need to do is kill this fish-headed monster!"

"Luckily, I always keep 99+ healing pills in my backpack, and they came in handy!"

"Brother, sell me a Blood-Recovery Pill! I'll transfer the points to you later!"

Gu Mian's health was also dropping, but she wasn't worried. Instead, she continued to use her laser cannon to attack the fish-headed monster.

When her health dropped to 50%, she put away the laser cannon, took out the Spring Staff, and cast a healing spell on herself and Xu Kun.

[Spring Light: Advanced Healing Spell, restores 100+ HP per second for one minute.]

It can only be used on a single target, deducts 50 mana per use, has a three-minute cooldown, and can be used in conjunction with the Staff of Spring.

[Spring Staff: Can cast Heal on two targets simultaneously. Each use costs 50 mana. Cooldown: 1 minute.]

The time it takes to restore health is one minute, and the staff's cooldown is also one minute. As long as she has enough mana, she can even restore health indefinitely.

While using her healing spell, she also gave Jiang Bai two small red bottles.

Jiang Bai was visibly taken aback when he received the small red bottle. He thanked Gu Mian and then drank it down in one gulp.

With his health restored to 200 points, Jiang Bai continued attacking the fish-headed monster.

At the same time, seeing his health steadily recovering, Xu Kun stared blankly at Gu Mian:

"Wow, sis, what kind of magic did you use on me? Why am I constantly recovering my health?!"

While installing energy crystals into the laser cannon, Gu Mian glanced at him and said, "It's a healing spell."

Xu Kun: "You actually know healing magic?"

Good heavens! Sis!

How many more surprises do you have in store for me?!

Gu Mian: "Stop talking nonsense! Let's fight the monster."

Xu Kun, a tough guy, pouted and said, "Okay! I'll listen to my sister!"

Gu Mian: "..."

"Shut your pig mouth..."

The fourth-tier pollutant was indeed difficult to kill, but the players who had survived until now were much stronger than before. So even though the fish-headed monster's passive ability was troublesome, it was still brought to low health by the players who kept using healing potions.

A flicker of human fear crossed the eyes of the bloodied fish-headed monster leader, and the next second it tilted its head back and let out a piercing scream.

"Damn it! What is that monster yelling about? It's absolutely awful!"

"Damn it! It's making my ears go deaf!"

"Does anyone have any healing potions? Share some with me, and I'll give you points instantly."

"After fighting for so long, this monster is finally low on health. It wasn't easy!"

"Wait... could this monster be calling for its own kind?"

"...What kind of fucking horror story are you telling?"
