Three seconds later.
Xu Shu, who was supposed to return to the first floor and meet up with his teammates, suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He looked towards the corner, at the slightly withered mermaid he had pulled down and thrown aside.
"Oh, almost forgot about you." Xu Shu's lips twitched slightly, amused as he muttered to himself.
The mermaid did not give him a smile.
This "Half-step Primordial Spirit," tainted by Buddha nature, flipped over and slowly crawled up.
Because she had no arms, her upper body fins flailed uselessly, relying on her thin and weak legs and waist for support, wriggling painfully on the ground.
Even so, it was hard to stand up.
She was extremely helpless, looking like a pitiful woman abandoned after betrayal.
After a full minute of arduous effort, the mermaid finally changed from lying flat to a kneeling position.
