What kind of girl would travel to another world?

As mentioned in the previous chapter, You Jiahui and Yang Mingyi had joined the adventure team for the second time today, entering the dungeon of Corpse Curtain Cave. They hadn't recovered the remaining materials from the mid-level monsters yesterday, but today they had. The adventure team had completed their mission, and now they were desperate to find the "treasure chest" they had seen yesterday.

After killing the three giant ox-horned snakes, they returned to the fork in the passage. To put it bluntly, they simply circled the dry passage and returned to the shallow water. It was like throwing a boomerang and returning to its starting point, or like riding a Ferris wheel and returning to the starting point. Whether the boomerang returns or not is irrelevant. If the Ferris wheel doesn't return to its starting point, you'll have to call for help. But it wasn't a wasted trip; after all, they had obtained a few more monster materials.

At the same time, they also saw another passage in the shallow water that they had not walked through before. They immediately concluded that if they walked through this passage, they would reach the location of the "treasure chest".

After advancing for a while in the shallow water, they encountered a speedster standing in the dry area. To everyone's surprise, You Jiahui single-handedly defeated the speedster in a single round, giving the others no chance to demonstrate their skills. Not only did Di Wuan fail to cooperate, but even Yang Mingyi, Torsi, and Ulybian didn't have time to cheer before the battle ended.

So, after a brief chat, they resumed their exploration. It wasn't that the others didn't want to talk anymore; it was mainly You Jiahui who didn't. After learning some information, her mindset began to shift. She considered the so-called dungeons and monsters merely tasks or games assigned to her by heaven, and Qi Xinyang had simply gotten there first.

At this point, they continued to slowly move forward through the shallow water tunnel. However, after only a few steps, they spotted another speedster far ahead. Although it was also standing in a small, dry space, it was quite far away from them, with a long stretch of shallow water between them.

Di Wuan quickly whispered to You Jiahui, "Oh no! Knight... Brave Lord, that fast-swimming monster is a little far away from us. If it continues to rush forward like it did just now, it will probably reach the water surface first." He had been calling You Jiahui "Knight Lord" for a long time, and he was not used to changing his words for a while.

Di Wuan was afraid that if You Jiahui suddenly rushed over, she would probably be knocked back repeatedly like yesterday, so he reminded You Jiahui.

You Jiahui, of course, realized this and didn't intend to charge directly as she had just done. After a moment of calm reflection, she whispered to Di Wuan, "Follow me, and we'll sneak over together. If we're spotted, I'll try to tip it over, and then you'll ram it into the wall." With that, she directed Di Wuan to lean against the right wall, while she herself slowly advanced, sticking to the left.

Di Wuan immediately understood You Jiahui's idea, and then said to his two teammates: "You protect the mage and hide yourselves. I will go together with the knight...the brave man." After that, he slowly leaned towards the stone wall on the right.

The two of them started to act like this.

If you walk too fast in shallow water, you will make noise even if you don't splash.

After walking for a while, You Jiahui discovered that the passage made a sharp turn to the left. The area where the speed-swimming monster in front of her was standing was next to a curved stone wall, and it was obvious that there was no road there.

You Jiahui continued to move forward slowly, but before she had gone far, the fast-swimming monster discovered You Jiahui.

As soon as the fast-swimming monster saw someone in the shallow water, he immediately cast the "water walking spell".

You Jiahui was also shocked. She had no time to think, so she could only immediately attack the fast-swimming monster.

After casting the "Water Walking Spell", the fast-swimming monster immediately ran towards the shallow water area.

The speedster was closer to the shallow water, while You Jiahui was farther from the dry area. Furthermore, You Jiahui was running on water, so even if she could run faster, it certainly wouldn't be as fast as running on the ground.

You Jiahui had barely gotten halfway out when the speedster hit the surface. She immediately thought, "Oh no! It's already reached the surface!" In this critical moment, she decisively implemented the plan she had previously planned, setting up her shield in the shallow water and immediately crouching down.

The speedster, under the spell of "Water Walk," instantly collapsed upon hitting the water. Then, its entire "hull" sped forward, hurtling towards You Jiahui. If someone were aboard this "boat," they would be thrown out by the acceleration, giving you an idea of ​​its rapid acceleration.

You Jiahui intended to deal with the ordinary speedsters the same way she had dealt with the large one. However, her shield was much smaller than Di Wuan's, and the speedster hit the water so quickly that she hadn't even adjusted the angle of the shield correctly. The result was predictable: it wasn't enough to cause the speedster to flip or skid, and even its launch would have been very low.

There was a clang, and the speedster, after charging onto You Jiahui's shield, simply changed direction. While it didn't flip or slip, it instead crashed into the space between two angled stone walls to her left and behind.

You Jiahui looked back and saw that the speedster's bow had just been caught in that angle. She immediately thought, "Huh? This could work? What a great opportunity!" Without hesitation, she charged towards the speedster.

You Jiahui once again competed with the speed-swimmer to see who was faster: would the speed-swimmer come out of the angle first, or would she run behind the speed-swimmer first?

However, as we've said before, running in shallow water like this won't go very far, no matter how fast you can run. Furthermore, the speedster had already removed the effects of the "Water Walk" spell before crashing into the corner, so it easily broke free.

After the speedster emerged from the angle, it turned around and saw You Jiahui running towards it. Since the distance was very close, it did not use the water movement spell again, but directly used the two "oars" of its upper limbs to fight You Jiahui.

However, You Jiahui didn't intend to engage in a fight with the speedster. Once she was close enough, she simply raised her shield and unleashed the shield technique "Savage Charge."

When the fast-swimming monster saw that You Jiahui was coming towards him, he immediately crossed his two "oars" in front of him to block You Jiahui's impact.

With a loud thud, You Jiahui's shield collided head-on with the speedster's two "paddles." Immediately, the speedster was knocked back into the angle. Trapped on three sides, the speedster couldn't move.

At this moment, You Jiahui's dagger struck out, the blade extending directly from under the shield, piercing the middle of the swift-swimmer's hull. That spot was the swift-swimmer's weak spot, and it was naturally a fatal blow. After the stab, You Jiahui immediately sheathed the sword and lowered the hand holding the shield.

Di Wuan, who had just arrived from the other side, was stunned. He had been waiting at the right rock wall, but when he saw the speedster hit You Jiahui's shield, it didn't flip or slip, and instead rushed off to an unknown destination. From his vantage point, he couldn't see the angle; all he could hear was the sound of the speedster hitting the rock wall. Then, he saw You Jiahui running toward the angle he couldn't see. He rushed over, but by the time he could see the speedster, the battle was over.

Di Wuan muttered in an inaudible voice, "It's none of my business..." You Jiahui's "evolution" was so rapid it was baffling. He thought to himself, "The hero's combat skills and reflexes are improving. If the gods could give her such an 'approval', they must be blessing her..." His thoughts drifted away.

Di Wuan thought You Jiahui had noticed the angle and changed her strategy to let the speedster crash into it. However, he didn't know that You Jiahui's move was purely a fluke, relying on pure luck.

The more Di Wuan thought about it, the more he felt the gods were still watching over the world. He immediately put down his hatchet and shield, clasped his hands together, and began to pray to the gods, muttering silently, "God! I may need to upgrade my skills soon. Please bless me with smooth sailing..." Thinking of potentially taking on missions to clear mid-level monsters, he considered upgrading his own skills. Although his two teammates' skills weren't high enough, he himself had been an adventurer for decades and had accumulated enough skills to upgrade.

You Jiahui and Di Wuan waited there until the body of the fast-swimming monster completely dissipated, and the other three people came to Di Wuan soon after.

Yang Mingyi asked Di Wuan, "What happened? We didn't see anything just now. What happened?" She was very curious and wanted to know what happened.

Torsi was also curious and asked Di Wuan, "Yes, Captain. What happened?" After that, he looked at You Jiahui who had her back to them.

Their position was even worse than Di Wuan's, who at least saw the speedster charge onto You Jiahui's shield. The three of them were further back, on the left side of the rock wall, so they could only peer out to see You Jiahui suddenly run forward, and then they lost sight of her.

Di Wuan told them, "I didn't see it either. I was at the rock wall behind. I couldn't see it from this angle."

Yang Mingyi walked over to You Jiahui and asked her, "Jiahui, what happened just now?"

You Jiahui told Yang Mingyi, "What's there to ask? It's pretty much the same as before." She felt annoyed after saying that, thinking, "How did they fight? You've seen this many times before. What's the difference..."

Yang Mingyi muttered, "Oh..." Then, she said helplessly, "You and Xinyang are really different. Xinyang is so talkative..."

That's right. Compared to You Jiahui, Qi Xinyang is a far better storyteller. If it were Qi Xinyang, he'd have to jump in and out, not just describing the actions between himself and the speedster, but also lavishly describing all of his own mental activity at that moment, then also describing his own speculation about the speedster's mental activity. This gives you an idea of ​​how much Qi Xinyang can eloquence when telling a story.

After a while, the body of the fast-swimming monster completely disappeared.

You Jiahui picked up the monster material from the shallow water. It was another red "eyeball." After taking a look at it, she found it uninteresting and tossed it to Yang Mingyi.

Yang Mingyi was shocked after receiving the "eyeball" and immediately threw it to other people behind him.

The three members of the adventure team had already gathered behind the two of them, and the "eyeball" was just caught by Ulybian, who directly put the "eyeball" into the bag.

You Jiahui said to others, "Let's go!" After that, she continued forward along the passage.

When the others saw You Jiahui set off again, they had no choice but to follow her.

They continued their slow progress. After walking a little further, they saw a very familiar scene outside the passage. Looking ahead at the many jagged rocks, they immediately realized they had returned to the place where the large, speed-swimming monster had been.

Uribian said to Diwuan in frustration: "Captain, I just felt that the direction was wrong. We are going in circles again..."

Yang Mingyi was completely confused, and looked like she wanted to cry but had no tears. She complained to herself, "It doesn't make sense! We've already walked through all the forks in the road!" She was almost stamping her feet in anxiety.

After hearing this, Ulypian muttered, "Yes. Even though I didn't mark it, I remember it clearly. We have indeed explored all the places behind us..."

Torsi said dejectedly, "Could it be that the treasure chest is used to deceive people?"

Di Wuan said to the others, "Maybe they want to break through that layer of stone wall directly? Let's go back and find some tools..."

Afterwards, they all started talking to each other and the whole place became a mess.

Amidst the clamor, You Jiahui suddenly said to the others, "No! Go back! There's still a place we haven't visited."

Yang Mingyi expressed her confusion and asked You Jiahui, "Huh? Where haven't you been?"

You Jiahui replied to Yang Mingyi, "Where else could it be? Right where that speed-swimming monster was standing!"

When the others heard this, they suddenly understood!
