Chapter 47: The Power of Biology
Looking at the huge octopus that was getting closer and closer, Pan Long did not waver in the slightest.
If he had been tempered before, he would not have had such composure. But after four tempering of the earth, his will has become as strong as steel.
The pain that makes people want to die quickly has been overcome, what else is it?
Not to mention that the power of the earth evil seeping out of his body has blocked the breath of the huge octopus from the outside, even if he can't stop it, even if he is still wrapped in that cold and slippery breath, even if those invisible tentacles are still looking for trouble for him, what is it?
Compared to the Earthshatter Quenching Body, this is not even a thing.
The corners of Pan Long's mouth curled slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.
The power is almost condensed!
But he was not in a hurry, the strength could be condensed a little more, and it was not close enough.
Just when the giant octopus was about twenty meters away from him, he finally raised his head, which had been lowered.
In his eyes, it was as if two flames were burning.
(Now is the time!)
This distance is just right, the tentacles of the giant octopus are almost so long, it is unlikely that it will attack at the limit of its tentacle length, and it must always go a little further.
With its huge body, this "one point" may be a matter of half a second.
But for Pan Long, half a second is enough!
With a thunderous roar, his body changed from extremely static to extremely moving.
[Explosive Power: Requires Strength A, which consumes five times the physical energy and gains three times the damage in the next round.] 】
The power element from the "Brave" system completely exploded at this moment, and he completely exploded the power of his whole body in an instant, leaving not a single trace behind.
With the exertion of his right foot, the solid metal ground shattered like a spider's web, and the cracks spread in all directions, and it looked like it was about to shatter a large piece.
But Pan Long had already used the power of this kick to rush towards the giant octopus.
Because of switching to the Brave class, his speed was not fast enough, but his body lit up with a dazzling golden light.
[Charge: Requires strength C, is not limited by mounts, and can charge even on foot.] 】
The two crimson tentacles were like two spears, and although there were no knights with prancing horses and spears, they carried a huge force that could hardly be matched by the best knights of the Northlands, roaring towards them.
Pan Long didn't dodge, and his agility, which had been reduced to D, made it impossible for him to do the technical work of "dodging attacks in high-speed movement".
But he had another way.
Can't hide?
Both tentacles struck his body, and his invulnerable sturdy body tore apart in an instant, almost tearing apart.
But in the next moment, with the golden light shattering, Pan Long completely returned to normal, and the injury just now seemed to be just a hallucination.
[Life Protection: Requires Spirit A, when suffering serious damage, completely negate an attack, and can only be accepted and launched once in a day.] 】
It's a spell he casts on himself at dawn, and it works well to make a hole card.
Twenty meters came in an instant, and the huge octopus missed a move, and Pan Long had already rushed in front of it.
The dazzling golden light condensed on his right hand, mixed with the blue-black of the earth's evil power, and struck the octopus's slightly cumbersome torso.
There was no particularly violent sound, but the golden light broke through the flesh of the giant beast and rushed directly into its body.
[Crash Heavy Attack: Requires strength A, deals true damage to the target, and removes all special statuses.] 】
That's the power of the collapse hit itself, and the "true damage" is no different from tickling for a behemoth whose health is unknown how many Arabic numerals there will be.
Even, even if Pan Long condensed all his strength, it didn't necessarily make it break its muscles and bones.
But when the special states on its body based on extraordinary abilities were temporarily erased, the real damage of this move was finally shown here.
Are eight tentacles as thick as a strong man's waist really enough to support the body of a giant beast that is enough to fill a small square?
Of course not enough!
Specific mathematical calculations can be omitted, but one thing is certain.
All animals that live in water depend on the buoyancy of the water to be able to move freely.
Whether it is fish, shrimp, crab and turtle, or giant kun and giant turtle, as long as they live in the water all day long, their legs, feet and even their bodies will not be strong enough to support their own weight.
Because that's wasteful, in nature, wasteful species can't be passed on, and will soon be eliminated by the cold nature.
Giant octopuses are certainly no exception.
Pan Long knew that some less large octopuses could move on the tidal flats, walking around and catching a few small crabs or shellfish for breakfast.
But it is absolutely impossible for such a large octopus, its body is too heavy to hold up with its tentacles.
In fact, it was shocking enough that it could survive after being summoned into the desert.
After all, it has broken through the limits of aquatic animals, and it is enough to infuriate the total finfish!
Pan Long felt that an octopus should not be able to do such a thing, even if it was a huge octopus that was enough for a few towns to feast on.
Then there is only one answer...... The reason why this octopus was able to survive in the desert was because of some supernatural power!
In this case, it is clear how to defeat it.
Pan Long made two preparations.
The main preparation is naturally his own force - he is still quite confident in his own force, and he feels that if it is not for the size difference, the octopus is just a large takoyaki
The secondary preparation is the "collapse heavy blow".
For this skill that he usually doesn't need, he took out another 3,000 points from the already few comprehension points left and learned this skill.
But the good thing is that it's all worth it!
The huge octopus, which had been temporarily erased of its supernatural abilities, let out a strange cry and curled up violently. The dry air in the desert is obviously very harmful to it, making it very uncomfortable.
The desert air was dry and hot, and it hit its gills hard at once.
It took only a few seconds for the dark clouds overhead to crumble, and the sunlight fell on it like flames.
The giant octopus struggled to shake its tentacles, as if trying to get back underground.
But how could Pan Long give it this chance?
He lunged forward, grabbed a tentacle and pulled it backwards with all his strength.
His strength is actually far inferior to this octopus, but the octopus that has lost its supernatural powers quickly falls into hypoxia symptoms and cannot exert its strength at all.
And...... Its tentacles weren't originally strong enough to support its massive body to move freely on land.
The wrestling between the two sides did not last long, no more than a minute in total, and Pan Long felt that the power transmitted from the tentacles was rapidly weakening, and soon turned into weak convulsions.
He let go of his hand, letting the tentacle fall limply to the ground with a metallic crash.
Then, clenching his fists, he sneered and walked over to the big octopus, which had collapsed there and couldn't move.
"Let me think about it, what's the point of the octopus?" he said to himself, "I remember when I first played King of the Seven Seas, there was a dungeon, and the final boss was a big octopus......"
"Oh, I remember!" he said, "an octopus has three hearts and nine brains. ”
"Well, it looks like my work won't be done that quickly. ”
A low roar echoed over the city.
It was the last wail of the terrifying beast that had thrown an entire city into panic and even derelicted ruins.
......
"This guy is dead like this?" Anhill said in surprise as he poked the corpse of the huge octopus with a broken sign, making sure it had lost all its vitality, "...... It's so easy?"
"It's the power of biology – octopuses aren't meant to live in the desert. "It's not so much strange why it died so easily, it's better to wonder why it's alive until now." ”
Everyone nodded their heads and quickly agreed.
The troublemaker is dead, so it's time to search for information.
So Zion's operatives split up and searched the ruins of the moving city.
Interestingly, the guides also came. They did not participate in the search – because they were almost illiterate. The emaciated lizardmen crouched in front of the giant dead octopus, muttering to themselves in worship.
"What are they talking about?" asked Bighorn to Rangier.
"It's basically praying that this guy will give them some power. Rangier replied, "If nothing else, they're going to eat this guy's meat next?"
Big Horn was startled: "Is the meat of this thing really edible? Isn't it poisonous?"
"Of course it's poisonous, otherwise why do you think Franca is still unconscious?"
"Then they won't have a problem eating it?"
"Of course there will be problems. ”
Bighorn hurried towards the group of guides, shouting as he ran, "You can't eat it!
But the guides, apparently not accepting his good intentions, took out sharp knives, and each of them cut a thin slice of the tentacle into his mouth.
Then they fell one by one.
"Dead life! No one died when he beat this guy, why did a bunch of people die afterwards......" Big Horn couldn't stop them, watching them lie upright on the ground, and they could only cover their faces with their hands, wanting to cry without tears.
"On my good work record, there is a stain on the plain white......"
Pan Long, who was sitting on the ground resting, almost fell down - it turned out that he was in such a hurry, not because his life was at stake, but because there should be no stain on his work record!
He swept his gaze over the white-robed lizardmen lying on the ground and said, "Don't worry, there will be no stains on your work records, none of them are dead." ”
"What?!" Bighorn crouched down in surprise and pressed his hand to the neck of a lizardman guide, and sure enough, he quickly felt his pulse beating.
"Pan, how did you tell if they were alive or dead from such a distance?" he asked curiously.
Pan Long smiled but did not speak.
He couldn't say, with a sweep of his eyes, he saw that the blood bars on the heads of these guys hadn't been zeroed yet......
However, there was one thing that made him a little concerned.
"Bright blood bar" generally means hostile, which means that these lizardfolk guides somehow suddenly become hostile to him.
What's going on?
