The two rows of shiny and sharp teeth on the barrier, and even the fine saws on the edge, were clearly visible. Yu Ai's heart trembled, and she couldn't help swallowing her saliva. She was going to fight this thing next.
But last time they accidentally broke in for unknown reasons, they didn’t alarm these monsters. Why are they angry now that there are so many obstacles and almost no one is approaching?
It would be nice to know what happened—
[Cheche, turn on empathy mode.]
[Okay, I'm about to activate empathy mode for you. Target of empathy: Earth-level Great White Shark monster.]
As she entered the empathy phase, You Ai's heart skipped a beat: Oops! Did I forget to ask her if she and the great white shark couldn't speak the same language? Would that significantly reduce our empathy? ... Never mind, let's just give it a try first.
It turned out that You Ai's worries were right. There was indeed a language barrier, but fortunately, her emotions were contagious and she was able to understand a little bit.
Yu Ai felt the anger brought by the invaders in the great white shark's emotions, but Mai Fei did not find any abnormalities from the initial establishment of the barrier to the strengthening of the barrier. So what was the problem?
If Mai Fei was nearby when this group of monsters awakened, he would not have been unaware of it, so the "accident" must have happened after he left.
But when he left, the work here was already in the final stage. What opportunity could he take advantage of?
Could it be that...
Yu Ai thought for a moment and began to circle the barrier. She actually spotted a stone a few dozen meters away. It was less than a meter in diameter and placed in an awkward position. She stepped forward, placed her hand on it, and with a slight release of spiritual energy, she could sense the unstable barrier, clearly damaged.
If the stones hadn't been placed there, the monsters inside would have broken through here long ago.
She speculated that if she was familiar with Mai Feishe's barrier, then Uncle Lan Ze, who had raised him since childhood, might also have some knowledge of his barrier? Of course, this was just a guess, because she had no evidence to prove that he had been here.
Yu Ai stood up and stepped back, looking around cautiously. She then released her spiritual power to explore, but found no other mermaids. However, Lan Ze's ability level was higher than hers, so if he was intentionally hiding his presence, she wouldn't be able to detect it.
This is not the most important thing at the moment. What she needs to do now is to stabilize these monsters and never let them leave here.
You Ai first released Dabai from the space and said to it, "Dabai, try to communicate with the monster inside and negotiate."
Dabai nodded. It was a magical beast tamed by Youai and had a bond with her. Naturally, it understood what its master wanted to do.
They returned to the place where the monsters collided. They didn't know whether it was because of the presence of the earth-level monster that the other monsters retreated consciously, or for other reasons, otherwise, with such a large group of monsters colliding together, the barrier would have collapsed long ago.
You Ai placed his hand on the barrier, causing it to gradually become transparent, allowing both parties to see each other immediately.
The Earth-level monster inside paused, seemingly observing, but still looking angry. You Ai nodded to Dabai, and now they could communicate.
Dabai began to make some gibberish sounds that Youai couldn't understand, and also made all kinds of strange movements - spinning 360 degrees up and down, wagging its tail, and half-leaping up.
You Ai looked bewildered, but it seemed that the monster inside understood. It seemed to hum, opened its big mouth, and retreated.
What was going on? You Ai was confused. Dabai flicked his tail twice and swam towards her.
Dabai said, "Master, the Earth-level monster agreed, but it requires to fight within the barrier, and..."
"What else?" You Ai asked.
"It also says that if you win, Master, they will continue to sleep, but if you lose, you will stay inside with them."
Hearing this, You Ai breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, as long as they didn't figure it out, it was fine. She would just accompany them, but she still had to keep a backup plan.
She released Xiao Dai, Xiao Qi, and Da Tou, then used her spiritual power to carve three words on a stone: "Wait for Mai Fei." She only took Da Bai with her; if she couldn't get out, they would be the ones to handle the outside world.
She opened the barrier, and after she and Dabai entered, the barrier automatically merged again, blocking Xiaodai and the others outside. Xiaoqi was so anxious that he turned around three times in place, but there was nothing he could do because they could not disobey their master's orders.
You Ai and Dabai were not attacked after entering the barrier. It seemed that the earth-level monster had already given a signal, and the other great white shark monsters retreated far away.
"Dabai, you should stay away too." You Ai said.
"Master..." Dabai was very worried.
"obedient."
Although reluctant, Dabai still stepped aside.
Yu Ai looked at the monster in front of her, a level nine monster against a ground level monster. It was impossible for her not to panic, but she could only take it.
Now that you have accepted it, retreating means death!
At this point, she would not retreat, nor could she retreat. If she did not respond, when these monsters rushed out, there would be a great loss of lives.
The Tuscan race was the closest, and although she was only a nominal heir, she had been treated as a princess for quite some time. She had developed some inexplicable feelings towards them, and it was no longer possible for her to just ignore them.
Yes, without her knowing it, she had already regarded the Tuscan people as her own people who should be protected by her, and no longer as strangers with no connection to them.
But the pressure released by the earth-level monster alone was enough for her to bear, and the effect of the "decompression pack" she had used before seemed to be diminishing.
[Cheche, give me the highest level of "stress relief package".]
[Okay, Master, we have replaced the "stress relief pack" for you.]
Phew~ Once the “stress relief bag” was put on, she finally managed to withstand the pressure. At least she could face it calmly.
You Ai has already made plans. Fighting against the Earth-level monster head-on is definitely not an option, even if she has a system. But she has a way.
First, launch the attack.
As the saying goes—the first to strike is the strongest! She instantly stacked various attacks, throwing any powerful one at the great white shark, trying to irritate it.
Yes, just make it angry.
Sure enough, the great white shark was enraged by the explosions. It roared and rushed over with its mouth wide open, ready to swallow Youai in one bite.
Of course, You Ai would not just stand there and let it eat her. Her tail was not just a decoration, it was also very powerful. When the great white shark approached, she swung her tail to slide towards its lower abdomen and used a dagger to draw blood from its abdomen.
The hoarse and broken sound exploded in Yu Ai's ears, causing her ears to hurt and even making her a little dizzy. She was almost hit by the great white shark's tail fin. She turned quickly, but it still hit her arm.
Hiss~It hurts!
She rarely got injured. If she hadn't made the great white shark dizzy with all kinds of noises, it would have been impossible for her to hit it with one blow. She had already touched the "Ice Pond" on the dagger.
