Chapter 407: Cave Monster
It's not that he's not afraid of death, it's just that the smaller they are, the more dangerous they are when they face such unknown creatures, because that means they're faster. Although the strength of the body is large, the action is relatively slow, and when Su Qiubai is agile, he can't pose any threat.
When he climbed to the top of the big cave, he carefully used his divine sense to probe into the cave, only to find that the cave was so deep that his divine sense could not reach the end. And within his perceptual range, there was no abnormal aura.
Maybe the monster was sleeping inside, Su Qiubai thought to himself. It was the best chance to get to Guò, so he jumped into the cave with agility and began to gather his climbing gear and prepare to continue the climb.
However, just as he was about to leave the entrance of the cave, he suddenly felt the whole mountain wall tremble, as if something huge was running towards it, and it seemed that it was not running slowly, because the sound was getting closer and closer. This movement made Su Qiubai feel a little bottomless, so he didn't dare to delay for a moment, firmly chiseled the mountaineering pickaxe in his hand into the mountain wall, and then reflexively climbed down.
But before his feet touched the rock wall, he felt something around his waist, and then he felt his body light, and he flew straight into the cave.
Su Qiubai quickly realized what was happening, and without hesitation, he pulled out the Xuanyuan Sword and slashed it back at his waist, and after cutting off the thing that was entangled in him, he suddenly fell to the ground.
Glancing at what he had cut off on the ground, Su Qiubai suddenly frowned. It looked like the tentacles of something, covered in translucent slime, and although it had been cut off, it was still wriggling on the ground, looking disgusting.
Before he could think about it, a dozen more tentacles came out of the corner of the cave and wrapped around him. Su Qiubai waved the Xuanyuan Sword and cut off a few in the blink of an eye. But those tentacles seemed to have eyes, and they knew how to dodge his attacks, and once there were not so many of them, they would not be so easy to hit.
Su Qiubai took a closer look, this thing is a bit like an octopus's tentacles, but it is far more disgusting than that, the dark purple tentacles are full of white suckers, and when they are waved, those suckers are closed one by one, and Su Qiubai's scalp is numb when he sees it.
This is just a few tentacles, its body is hidden behind the corner of the cave at the moment, although it can't be seen, but the strong fishy smell is so strong that Su Qiubai almost vomits out.
Su Qiubai was a little upset by the tentacles, so he raised his hand to condense a few flames and threw them at the tentacles. The tentacles that were burned by the flames suddenly made a "ziz" sound, and then withered. This sound sounded a little like teppanyaki, but the smell of grilled tentacles was not as fragrant as sizzling squid, and the original smell was fishy and unpleasant, but at this time, it was mixed with the smell of burning, almost choking Su Qiubai to the ground.
Fortunately, the thing seemed to be very afraid of the flames, and quickly retracted it as soon as it was burned, but when the flames were extinguished, it stretched out again.
Seeing that the flames were good, Su Qiubai simply laid a wall of fire in the corridor in front of him to block the attacks of those tentacles.
But the monster was smarter than he had imagined, and when he saw that the wall of fire was blocking his way, he simply moved his true body out from behind the corner, and spewed a stream of slime at the wall of fire, and the wall of fire immediately went out.
Fortunately, Su Qiubai dodged quickly, otherwise he would inevitably be sprayed with mucus like snot.
After seeing the true body of the monster, Su Qiubai even forgot about his fear. He didn't know how to move to get something, because it looked like a mountain of soft flesh, covered with large and small suction cups and hundreds of tentacles. When it moves, it rolls on the ground like a ball of flesh, using the power of its tentacles and suction cups to move its massive body.
As it squirmed, Su Qiubai could see its huge round mouth, surrounded by sharp fangs, constantly opening and closing like tentacles, like a huge meat grinder.
At this moment, the monster seemed to be enraged by Su Qiubai, and was moving its huge body step by step, walking towards Su Qiubai.
Seeing this, Su Qiubai couldn't help but secretly complain, it seemed that it was a stupid thing to casually use common sense to judge unknown things. He only expected that the large thing would be difficult to move, but he didn't expect that this thing would not need to move at all to get him into his mouth.
Although its body is a little clumsy, those tentacles are very flexible, and it only used a dozen tentacles to play with Su Qiubai before, but at this moment, more than a hundred tentacles stretched out at the same time, Su Qiubai's scalp suddenly felt numb, and he subconsciously wanted to run out of the cave.
But after running for less than two steps, Su Qiubai stopped again.
The terrain outside was completely unsuitable for escaping, unless he managed to contain the thing so that he wouldn't catch up with him too quickly, so he could escape down with the help of climbing tools.
Thinking of this, Su Qiubai no longer retained his strength, and directly transformed into a puppet form, using his tall body to block the middle of the cave, which looked quite imposing.
As soon as his body changed, the monster that had been moving towards him suddenly stopped, as if hesitating about something.
Su Qiubai couldn't help but think of when he was in Taiyi Gate before, those poisonous snakes also seemed to be very afraid of his puppet form.
The monster stared at him for a moment, hesitated, and finally slowly retreated, and disappeared in a few moments, leaving only the fishy smell still pungent.
Su Qiubai saw that the monster was gone like this, and he couldn't even care about being happy for a while, and froze in place, thinking about the scene just now.
He was sure that the monster could not have hesitated because he was afraid of him, because even if he turned into a puppet form, his size would still not be enough for the behemoth, and the monster was not without the strength to fight him.
So why did it run away?
No, it doesn't look like it's running away at all, it's just calmly leaving, and it seems a little disappointed to look at it? +
Su Qiubai immediately understood that the monster originally wanted to eat him, but when he noticed that there was puppet blood in his body, he immediately became disgusted and didn't want to eat it, so he left in disappointment.
Thinking of this, Su Qiubai shook his head with a smile, no matter what, he finally survived the catastrophe safely.
Walking to the entrance of the cave and looking out, Mossa in the distance seemed to be fighting with something very fiercely, and in the dark, his moves were very cool, and from time to time he would burst out with colorful lights, like fireworks.
Su Qiubai didn't have the extra heart to pay attention to him, let alone risk to save him, seeing that most of the monsters who were alarmed were attracted by Mosa, he continued to climb down calmly.
Gradually, the sound of fierce fighting overhead began to be inaudible, and Su Qiubai's heart relaxed. He even prayed in his heart that Mosa had better die here, and saved him a lot of trouble.
Two hours later, Su Qiubai suddenly felt a down-to-earth feeling under his feet, and immediately looked around, and found that there was a circle of protruding stone slabs on the mountain wall, and he didn't know whether it was natural or artificially chiseled.
Underneath the stone slabs, the road that could barely be climbed has completely disappeared, and the already sloping inward mountain wall seems to have been shoveled away, leaving no place to stay. Unless he has a suction cup in his hand, there is no way to climb from here.
It seems that this is the place that Mossa is talking about, and his ancestors were stopped here back then, and finally returned in vain.
Su Qiubai walked around the stone slab, and soon found the mountain wall inlaid with bronze discs at the Mosa Sayings, and it was indeed carved with fine lines, and the depression in the middle was obviously the place where the discs were originally embedded.
Mo Sa naturally wouldn't feel at ease to hand over the disc to Su Qiubai, so he could only sit here bored and wait at the moment.
If Mossa was really dead, he would go back the way he came, and he wasn't much interested in the bloody glass anyway, and it wasn't worth it for him to take such a big risk for this thing.
After more than half an hour, Su Qiubai suddenly heard a sound that he didn't want to hear, it was the sound of someone climbing down the rock with a mountaineering tool.
Sure enough, Mossa soon jumped onto the stone slab in the distance, followed by Muhan.
Mossa seems to be in good shape, it seems that he has not been injured in the battle just now, and it seems that his strength really cannot be underestimated. He just relied on luck to force the monster away, and he really fought it. Looking at Muhan on the side, his condition was not so good, he didn't know how many wounds were bleeding from his body, and he had obviously just experienced a fierce battle. But he didn't seem to care about it, and didn't know what the pain was, and still followed Mossa without saying a word.
"It's surprising that you've arrived early?" Mossa walked over and said.
Su Qiubai didn't reveal the truth, but said, "I just came down for a while." ”
Mossa didn't care if he said it or not, and after taking the bronze disc from his bag, he set it directly into the stone wall.
"Please." Mosa said to Su Qiubai.
Su Qiubai glanced at him, and was a little apprehensive about the unknown situation that might happen next, but at this point, he had no choice but to cut his palm, and then covered the wound on the disc.
Sensing the stimulation of blood, those lines began to quickly fill with blood, and Su Qiubai clearly felt that the blood at his wound was constantly draining.
After a few moments, all the blood tanks were filled and began to glow a dazzling red. Su Qiubai withdrew his palm and frowned at the changes in front of him, the scarlet light didn't look like a good sign.
Mosa's face at this moment also looked a little strange under the red light, his expression was full of fanaticism, it was a look that had been long-cherished for many years was about to be fulfilled, which showed how long he had waited for this moment.
