Is this a coincidence? Or was it intentional? If so, why did they choose this particular time?

Yu Ai could only guess at these questions. Now they were facing a more serious problem. If the monsters inside really woke up, all the races nearby would not be spared.

"Gather everyone and set up another barrier on the periphery. Send someone back to inform Her Majesty the Queen. If necessary, inform the surrounding races to step up their vigilance." You Ai said decisively.

"Okay!" Masha nodded and turned around to make arrangements.

You Ai looked at the mountain of rocks in front of him. Under the huge impact, tiny sand and gravel fell from time to time, and if you were not careful, you would be blinded.

Could it be possible to smash these stones? Just as this thought came to You Ai's mind, the system started to ring.

[Beep beep! Please accept the test of the Earth-level monster!]

You Ai was shocked. If a ground-level monster appeared, there would definitely be strange phenomena around it. Then there was only one possibility - the habitat sealed in the barrier by Mai Fei contained a ground-level great white shark monster.

This is not good!

But the situation now was different from the last draw at Shoal Harbor. It was a competition, not only could they call a halt—though that didn't guarantee a halt—but Mai Fei was right there, ready to attack if there was any danger. This was a life-or-death situation, a game of chance or fate.

Judging from the impact, it's not hard to imagine how furious the monster must be. Wouldn't it be a perfect match for her if she confronted it?!

[Cheche, can you not accept this mission? ]

[Yes, Master.]

[Great.] You Ai breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could finish her breath, the system cut her off.

[I need to pay 50 million points to offset the task. Are you sure you want to pay? ]

What the hell!

Fifty million points!

[Wait, wait, wait, to cancel a mission, I need 50 million points?]

【Yes!】

[Do I...have 50 million points?]

【Sorry, you don’t have it! 】

[How can I offset it if I don’t have points? ]

【If the points are insufficient, they cannot be offset! 】

You Ai was completely speechless: Okay, you’re just teasing me!

"Be careful!" Masha shouted, and You Ai looked in the direction she was looking: a square stone half his body tall rolled down. Fortunately, everyone remained vigilant and used spiritual power to control it in time, so no one was injured.

It seems there is no time!

Not only did she not have time, the system also kept urging her.

[Please accept the mission! Please accept the mission! Please accept...]

【Accept, accept.】

You Ai chose to accept it not only because of the system task, but also because she and Masha were the only ones with higher levels here. It would be better to let Masha go, because at least she still had a system.

"Masha, I leave this place to you." Yu Ai said and swam forward. Masha grabbed her and asked her anxiously, "Where are you going?"

"I'll go check if there's any problem with the barrier inside." You Ai said as he was about to pull her hand away, but failed because Masha held on tighter. She said anxiously, "No, you can't go!"

"Listen to me..." Yu Ai was interrupted as she began to speak. Masha shook her head like a rattle. "No! No way! You're pregnant. If anyone wants to go, I'll go. You stay."

"Come back." This time it was You Ai who grabbed Masha. She said helplessly, "You can't go." After pulling her back, You Ai couldn't help laughing, which made Masha stunned.

"What are you laughing at?" Masha asked blankly.

"Ah? It's okay, I just suddenly felt that... we are so brave!" You Ai said seriously, and that serious expression on his face was really... so funny!

It was so funny that if it weren't for the wrong venue, the two of them would have had a really good laugh.

You Ai then said sternly, "Listen to me first. I'm not as familiar with these guards as you are. If something happens, you can deploy them faster."

She held down Masha, who was about to speak, and continued, "I know I'm pregnant, so I'll be careful. I'll just go check and see if there's anything wrong with the barrier. Mai Fei taught me."

Masha opened her mouth to say something, but finally swallowed it back. As Yu Ai had said, she was familiar with the Tuscanian guards, and they knew her better. She would be more useful than Yu Ai. And regarding the barrier, if Mai Fei had taught Yu Ai, then the barrier he set would indeed give Yu Ai a stronger advantage.

Masha finally compromised and said, "Then go and take a look. If there are any problems, don't be impulsive and withdraw immediately."

You Ai nodded, "Okay! I'll be careful." She swam upstream and entered from the fallen rocks. Masha kept reminding her outside to be careful and pay attention to safety.

The barrier that Mai Fei and the others had reinforced behind them was very large, but it was still some distance away from the stone being repaired outside. However, the shock wave never stopped, and it became more obvious after they entered.

[Cheche, I think I'm going to finish this, whether I fight or not.]

【Master, why do you say that? 】

"Look, if I don't accept, I'll be finished without any points. If I accept, I'll know right from the moment I enter that this is going to be a tough battle. Will I end up dying miserably?"

[Master, don't be discouraged. If you think this way, there's only one way out. If you don't accept it, you can still give it a try.]

This sentence is so familiar, isn't it just chicken soup - without hard work, there is nothing, only with hard work can you have opportunities!

Well, she will work hard and hope that opportunity will favor her!

The closer she got, the more she could feel the pressure of the high-level monsters. It was so uncomfortable that it made it difficult for her to even breathe.

[I feel so uncomfortable, is there anything I can do to relieve it? ]

[Yes, you can redeem "Stress Relief Packs" in the store.]

【Switch, switch, switch! 】

[Okay... I've redeemed your "Stress Relief Pack" and put it into use.]

Huh~

You Ai let out a long breath, and the feeling of suffocation finally eased. Although it was still a bit uncomfortable, he no longer felt nauseous or wanted to vomit.

The external pressure alone is so terrifying, you can imagine how furious the monster must be. She is only level nine, and it is really unfair for her to face a level earth monster.

[Cheche, I'm only level nine. Fighting against Earth-level monsters is something I've never done before. I'm going to the habitat of the Great White Shark monsters. I'm going to face a whole group of them, not just one!]

[Your concerns are reasonable. Please find a way to fight the Earth-level monsters alone.]

【………………】

You Ai suddenly felt that she was careless. She had an extra system compared to others, but this system was not a soft persimmon. She could rub it as she pleased.

She resisted the urge to roll her eyes, as she was already close to the barrier due to the combined use of the speed pack.

The barrier was covered with an optical illusion, so originally one couldn't see inside. But when the monster hit the barrier, one could see an angry great white shark monster on the barrier.
