Immediately afterwards, a warning sound came from the game.

[Game Warning: The ship is being attacked by waves; the shield is 10% damaged]

At that moment, Gu Xi had only one thought in her mind: get out of here as soon as possible!

Gu Xi quickly directed the shark swarm, attempting to get them to pull the boat away from the giant waves.

However, the massive waves triggered by the powerful earthquake made the ship's escape extremely difficult. The sharks were tossed about and unable to carry out her commands.

At this critical moment, the octopus suddenly grew to its largest size, its tentacles tightly wrapped around the boat, and then it swung its tentacles at an astonishing speed, pulling the boat away from the giant waves.

The Shark King stood directly in front of the ship that was about to be hit by the giant wave, using his own body to block the oncoming wave.

The strong earthquake continued, and the seawater seemed to be boiling, constantly bubbling up huge bubbles. Gu Xi could even clearly hear the rumbling sound coming from the sea.

After an unknown amount of time, the strong earthquake finally subsided, and Gu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, but she did not let her guard down.

Although the waves had subsided, they still occasionally lapped against the boat. Fortunately, thanks to the efforts of the shark king and the octopus, the boat was not seriously damaged.

As the waves gradually subsided, Gu Xi's tense nerves finally relaxed a little. She had escaped another disaster.

Looking around, Gu Xi saw that the sharks had returned to normal, the shark king had dived back into the water, and the octopus had shrunk back to its original size and was hopping towards her.

Gu Xi poked the octopus's head, and the octopus excitedly wrapped around her hand and pointed to the flowerpot.

"Okay, okay, let's go pack up!"

"Chirp chirp!"

Gu Xi nodded. She understood. This was the result of the octopus's hard work, and the octopus wouldn't allow these flowers to be destroyed by the giant waves.

The man and the fish were tidying up their belongings, which had been knocked askew by the strong earthquake, completely unaware that the waves had pushed the boat off course.

It wasn't until Gu Xi inadvertently spotted a light in the distance that she realized there was an island ahead.

As the ship slowly approached the mysterious island, Gu Xi gradually sensed something amiss.

The island's mountainous outlines appeared and disappeared in the orange-red light, as if shrouded in a thin mist. She could feel the temperature of the surrounding air gradually rising, a stark contrast to the coolness that should accompany the night.

Gu Xi frowned, a sense of unease rising within her. She crouched down and touched the seawater with her fingertips, discovering that the water temperature here was slightly higher than before.

Is it another fire?

Just as Gu Xi was making this guess, a strong smell of sulfur wafted in on the wind, causing her to involuntarily cover her mouth and nose.

It's a volcanic island!

She definitely has to go, but she needs to make some preparations first. In addition to protective measures against toxic substances, she also needs to prepare heat-resistant agents.

Since her pharmaceutical proficiency improved last time, she unlocked the ability to make heat-resistant potions. Because the production cost of heat-resistant potions was too high, and she didn't need them for the time being, she hadn't made them yet, but now it seemed she had no choice but to.

Upon arriving at the workshop on the third floor, Gu Xi found the medicine formula.
