The wind whistled past everyone's ears, and the waves were cleaved by the speeding ship.

Su Yaqi watched as the octopus monsters were gradually left behind, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Looks like we can shake them off."

Hearing Su Yaqi's words, everyone's tense nerves finally relaxed.

Su Yalin plopped down on the deck, panting heavily, and said, "Oh my god, I'm exhausted. I feel like my heart is going to jump out of my chest."

Qin Xiaoxuan also sat down by the ship's railing, wiping the sweat from her forehead with her hand: "Yes, once the tension passes, I feel completely exhausted."

Hua Nianci lay down on the deck and looked up at the sky: "I've never been so nervous before. Now I can finally catch my breath."

Wang Fan also found a place to sit down and said with a smile, "Everyone, take a rest first, but we still can't let our guard down."

Little Black was also lying on the ground, its tongue lolling out, panting heavily.

Just then, the sand eagle swooped down from the sky, its wings whipping up a gust of wind.

It landed steadily on the deck, its eyes revealing a hint of fatigue.

Su Yaqi looked at the sand sculpture and said, "Sand sculpture, you must be exhausted too."

The sand sculpture let out a low growl, as if in response to her.

Qin Xiaoxuan walked over and gently stroked the sand sculpture's feathers: "Thanks to your aerial reconnaissance, otherwise we might have been in even greater danger."

Hua Nianci also said, "Yes, who knows what we'll encounter next."

Wang Fan stood up, looked at everyone and said, "No matter what, let's rest for a bit and then make some plans."

After everyone had rested for a few minutes, Su Yalin asked worriedly, "But how long will the effect of this Swiftness Talisman last?"

Wang Fan frowned and said helplessly, "I don't know either. The system didn't tell me. But I guess it will take a few minutes."

Su Yalin's face darkened further: "Only a few minutes? What do we do after that?"

Wang Fan comforted him, "Don't worry too much. Let's think of other solutions before the boat slows down."

Qin Xiaoxuan interjected, "That's all we can do. Hopefully, these few minutes will allow us to create enough distance between us."

Hua Nianci bit her lip, her face full of worry.

As if in response to everyone's concerns, the ship began to slow down.

The octopus monster behind noticed this change and increased its pursuit speed again.

The women's faces immediately filled with anxiety.

Su Yaqi's heart, which had just been at ease, jumped again. She twisted her hands together: "What should we do? Are we going to fall into despair again after just seeing a glimmer of hope?!"

Su Yalin was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes: "If those octopus monsters catch up with us, we're doomed!"

Qin Xiaoxuan looked worried, her brows furrowed: "Everyone, calm down, there will definitely be a way."

Hua Nianci bit her lip, her gaze fixed on the approaching octopus monster: "But what can we do?"

All the women looked at Wang Fan and asked in unison, "Wang Fan, what should we do?"

Wang Fan smiled mysteriously and said calmly, "Don't rush, watch me."

He reached into his system inventory and rummaged around for a while before pulling out a hundred Swift Travel Talismans.

Upon seeing this, the women were first stunned, and then they all became angry.

Su Yaqi's eyes widened, and she said angrily, "Wang Fan, why didn't you take out so many Swiftness Talismans sooner? You made us worry for nothing!"

Su Yalin pouted and complained, "Yeah, you made us so scared, you're so mean!"

Qin Xiaoxuan put her hands on her hips and said irritably, "Wang Fan, really, we were all so worried, but you kept it to yourself."

Hua Nianci rolled her eyes at Wang Fan and said, "Hmph, Wang Fan, you've gone a bit too far with that joke. We were almost scared to death just now."

Wang Fan scratched his head sheepishly and said with a smile, "I just wanted to give you a surprise, don't be angry."

Although the women were still somewhat annoyed, they didn't dare to make a scene because of Wang Fan's ingratiating manner.

Su Yaqi snorted: "I'll let you off this time, but if there's a next time, it won't be so easy!"

Su Yalin pouted and said, "That's right, Brother Wang Fan, please stop scaring us like that."

Qin Xiaoxuan shook her head helplessly: "Alright, let's use the Swiftness Talisman quickly and get rid of the current crisis first."

Hua Nianci chimed in, "Yes, let's not delay."

Wang Fan nodded quickly and affixed a speed talisman to the hull of the boat.

With the activation of the speed-enhancing talisman, the ship's speed instantly soared, speeding across the sea like a bolt of lightning.

The relentlessly pursuing octopus monsters were taken aback, clearly not expecting this sudden turn of events.

Seeing this, Wang Fan felt a surge of triumph and shouted at the octopus monsters, "Come and chase me! If you catch me, you can have me..."

The women couldn't help but laugh at Wang Fan's bold provocation.

Su Yaqi laughed and said, "Wang Fan, you're really something..."

Su Yalin chuckled, "The octopus monsters are going to be furious now."

Qin Xiaoxuan and Hua Nianci looked at Wang Fan, who was acting like a child, and shook their heads helplessly.

However, Wang Fan's provocation seemed to have completely enraged the octopus monsters, who then sped up as if possessed.

Despite the growing distance between them, they still refuse to give up.

Looking at the octopus monster that still refused to give up, Wang Fan began to wonder, "These guys are really persistent. It's a pity that killing them won't give me any experience, otherwise I could try the kiting strategy."

And so, in this chase and escape, time slipped away in a tense atmosphere.

Finally, the group arrived at the foot of the mountain of corpses. Xiao Meng excitedly exclaimed, "Brother, we're here!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with joy and excitement.

Su Yaqi looked excitedly at the mountain of corpses not far away and said, "Great! We can finally get rid of those nasty octopus monsters!"

Su Yalin stood up excitedly: "Let's find a place to moor the boat quickly!"

Qin Xiaoxuan and Hua Nianci exchanged a glance and simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the mountain of corpses in front of him, Wang Fan silently prayed: He hoped he could pass this test smoothly.

The mountain of corpses exuded an eerie and sinister aura, making him feel uneasy.

Most importantly, ever since I entered this place...

He felt uneasy, and there was a strange feeling, as if something was drawing him forward.

Wang Fan frowned and asked the system, but the system did not respond.

Everyone noticed his unusual behavior, and Su Yalin asked cautiously, "Brother Wang Fan, what's wrong?"

Wang Fan shook his head and said in a deep voice, "I can't quite put my finger on it, but I just feel a mysterious force pulling me forward."

Qin Xiaoxuan looked worried: "Could there be any danger? We should be careful."

Hua Nianci chimed in, "Yes, this place is strange; we can't act rashly."
