A third-level wizard-level gray-robed wizard flew through the sinkhole, constantly changing the direction of movement to dodge the energy octopus's numerous tentacle attacks. But in the end, he was caught up by one of the tentacles and pumped on the surface of his body.

"Smack!"

The surface of the wizard's body burst out with multiple dazzling lights, and the entire three energy shields were shattered in an instant, and the wizard spat out a mouthful of blood with a "poof" and flew out, and his face fell to the ground with a pale face, and he was already seriously injured.

Witnessing this scene, the faces of the other wizards changed, and they realized more clearly the strength of the energy octopus - the energy octopus was not in a big deal after withstanding the attacks of so many of them, and a casual blow could make a wizard lose most of their combat power, in this way, if the energy octopus attacked with all its strength, I was afraid that it would have the ability to kill any of them in an instant.

The sorceress Nora pursed her lips, a vial of gray liquid already in her hand, and Emerson's expression became solemn.

After the energy octopus successfully seriously injured a wizard, it did not take advantage of the situation to pursue and mend the knife, but threw out a tentacle and rolled it over the coffin chief Theodore Vic and swallowed it in one gulp.

After doing this, a full six tentacles rose upward, turned red, and stabbed violently, as if entering an unknown space. Then he pulled it around, and a new "spatial hole" that emitted white light appeared in the sinkhole, and the energy octopus jumped up and drilled inside.

It turns out that the energy octopus is not ready to kill everyone for revenge, and just wants to return after getting what it wants. Because this trading experience is something he has never experienced, in addition to anger, he is more vigilant, and he doesn't want to stay for a while, and the accident will happen.

However, just when the energy octopus was about to get into the "spatial hole" and successfully escape, the hundreds of "giant metal needles" standing on the edge of the sinkhole suddenly lit up, and dense milky white light shot out, right in the middle of the "spatial hole".

With a "poof", the "spatial hole" was broken and evaporated.

"Boom!"

The energy octopus that leaped in mid-air watched the "spatial hole" disappear, and its body slashed through the highest point in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground. This time, instead of making a noise with mental fluctuations, he let out a high-pitched, unknown hiss.

"Whoa—whoa—"

After that, the energy octopus cast its eyes on the twelve wizards in the sinkhole.

Eleven normal wizards and one seriously injured wizard looked a little nervous, they were not sure whether to continue the fight or flee decisively after defeating the energy octopus.

At this time, in the command hall next to the sinkhole, a voice came out, saying: "The target strength is more than 50% beyond the estimate, and then implement the No. 4 plan, please leave the experimenter, and I will deal with and capture it myself." ”

Hearing this, the twelve wizards glanced at each other, no longer hesitated, and resolutely flew towards the outside of the sinkhole.

The energy octopus naturally wouldn't agree, and looked at the badly injured wizard, quickly caught up, and threw out its tentacles.

Seeing that the badly injured wizard was about to suffer, suddenly the tentacles thrown out by the energy octopus stopped, as if it had been burned, and quickly retracted, alert to see a figure appearing above his head out of thin air.

The man was dressed in a light gray robe, and he looked very young, with a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, but he was simply suspended in the air, but there was the pressure of a mountain.

It was Richard.

As a result of Richard's appearance, the mortally injured wizard managed to escape from danger and leave the sinkhole with Emerson and his party. Standing on the edge of the sinkhole, he briefly looked at Richard, bowed his head lightly as a gesture, and then didn't say anything more, and quickly walked to the side to get busy with the rest of the business.

Richard, suspended in mid-air, withdrew his gaze from Emerson and his party, and looked at the energy octopus curled up with tentacles.

Mental fluctuations came out, and Richard said to the energy octopus: "I know you are angry because we violated the principles of trading, but after all, you have eaten the trading item, that is, the sacrifice, so according to the reason, you always have to pay something." ”

"You...... What do you want?" the energy octopus responded vigilantly.

"It's simple, let me study you, ten years. Richard said, "Ten years is a short time for a life like yours, and I think it's a fair deal." ”

"If it were fair, you wouldn't have violated your principles from the beginning, and I don't think anything you said was right now!" the energy octopus responded unceremoniously, "From the beginning, the purpose of your sacrifice to me was to coerce me into making an unfair deal, and I will never allow such a deal to be made!"

"Brush!"

The energy octopus's curled tentacles swung out and struck at Richard.

Richard's expression froze, and he raised his hand to form a purple energy shield with a diameter of more than one meter in front of him.

"Bang Bang!"

The tentacles were pumped on the surface of the energy shield, and the power was enough to seriously injure a third-level wizard or even a fourth-level wizard, but at this moment, it could only make the energy shield give birth to a ripple.

Seeing this, the energy octopus realized that Richard's strength was far from being comparable to that of the previous experimenters, and the many eyes on the tentacles blinked in unison, and the pupils of hundreds of eyes were red, and a fiery red light with a sulfur aura burst out from it, slamming into the energy shield.

"Click!"

The energy shield shook, and dense cracks appeared, which looked a little unsupportable.

However, just before the shattering, Richard's feet moved, and the whole person quickly became transparent, and after a few seconds, he reappeared and was already behind the energy octopus.

"Whew-"

Richard exhaled lightly, raised his hands, and a cloud of golden light quickly appeared between his hands, seemingly preparing an extremely powerful spell to inflict heavy damage on the energy octopus.

The energy octopus sensed the danger, but did not retract its tentacles in a hurry to stop it, let alone turn around, but instead dropped all its tentacles down, exposing its entire torso.

Behind the torso, in the center of the back, the amber energy suddenly parted, and a slender, nearly one-meter-long huge eye protruded inside.

The huge eyes were gray-green, and the pupils had a strange dark red hue, and he looked straight at Richard, and then a wave of energy full of old aura exploded.

The air was invisibly squeezed and let out a low sound, and the solid sinkhole floor around it sank downward, and the metal platform not far away seemed to have passed hundreds of years in an instant, and the surface became rusty and the whole became crumbling. In the screeching sound, the mechanical arms covered with red rust fell one by one, fell off, smashed to the ground and broke into pieces, and then with a "bang", the entire metal platform collapsed.

Richard, who was close at hand, was the most affected, and saw Richard's body stiffen, and the golden light between his hands suddenly dimmed, flickered a few times, and disappeared with a "poof". After that, Richard seemed to have received some kind of mental impact, and his eyes widened uncontrollably, and his mouth opened and became round.
