Volume II Lotus 159 . Polar Day (-↓)
These octopuses, which are strange in color and appearance, are not opponents of Barn and others at all, and the purpose of their existence is also to stop everyone's progress, but this is like three hundred taels of silver here, as long as people with long heads know that they will definitely encounter Lotus if they continue to kill like this.
For the extremely large Lotus Temple, the temple is said to be big and small, and since Lotus can't be touched in the center of the temple, then this big octopus must be somewhere in the temple ready to control the Heavenly Veil Beast.
The group took turns to fight, and according to the plan, Ophelia must have two people by her side to take care of her, lest she be killed by accident.
The speed of the whole team is not slow, and the attack power and speed of these octopuses are not threatening at all, but they are extremely annoying when they are numerous.
"Damn, I'll have to chop up Lotus and take it back to cook it well to eat it!" After Barne's fear of octopus meat was removed, his words became arrogant.
"I see that octopus meat not only makes you vomit and diarrhea, but also poisons your brain, don't you have a long memory?" Forrest Gump slashed the octopus with a swing of his left giant sword, and there was a hint of banter in his words.
Barn smiled and said, "Really, you also try to take a bite, although you may have diarrhea, but the meat quality is really the best I have ever eaten in my life, I can use my life to guarantee the ticket." ”
Forrest Gump pouted and said no more, he wasn't as detached as Barn was.
The group marched for twelve hours, from the first spine to the celestial veil behemoth in Ophelia's mouth, but the second spine was haunted by the octopus monster, the airship, and the crazy GBL cultists.
"What the hell am I..."Forrest Gump slashed the last octopus nearby, sitting on top of the corpses of the octopus monsters piled up on a hill, and broke out a rare foul mouth.
It's no wonder that Forrest Gump is scolding, everyone present feels tired, and each of them has killed thousands of octopus monsters, and only then does everyone feel that these octopus monsters have posed a threat to the team.
Yong Shili washed her face stained with the blood of the octopus monster on the riverside, and the blood could be wrung out when everyone's clothes were taken off, which showed the fierceness of the battle.
"Drink potions to recover your strength! We don't have much time to delay here. Forrest Gump said, took out a bottle of potion from the storage bag, stuck the greatsword aside, and threw the potion aside from the body of the octopus monster whose tentacles moved, and drank it all and threw it aside.
Albert glanced at the watch on his wrist and looked up at the sun on top of his head, and wondered, "I'm hallucinating?" We've been on the road for twelve hours at five o'clock in the morning, and now it's supposed to be five o'clock in the evening, so it stands to reason that the sun should be going down soon, right? Why is it still hanging above our heads? ”
Everyone had been engaged in the battle for twelve hours, and they hadn't noticed anything strange.
Barn looked up at the sky and muttered, "This can't be... Polar Day? ”
"How is that possible? Polar Day only appears on the northern and southern edges of the continent, but this is the West Coast! As soon as Forrest Gump finished speaking, he realized that something was not right, how could the Heavenly Veil Beast be a living creature without moving?
"We're not already in the far north or south of the continent, are we?" Forrest Gump's expression was a little stunned, according to common sense, it was impossible for everyone to see the polar day phenomenon on the West Coast.
"It's fun." A reluctant wry smile tugged at the corner of Barn's mouth, if they were really in these two extreme geographical locations, even if they succeeded in conquest of Rotus, they would not be rescued, this is an unknown area outside the existing territory, and according to legend, this is also the only way for ordinary people to reach the underworld.
"Look!" Rainey exclaimed, raising his finger to one place.
Xiu Zhe looked in the direction of Rainey's finger, and there was a faint light in the sky, which was difficult to see with the naked eye because of the sun's illumination, but when Xiu Zhe closed his eyes and saw this light clearly with his heart, his heart trembled.
The light fluttered gently like a haze, flickering far and near, flickering and dimming, and the colors were shocking.
The three obviously strange runes on the ghost hand were also slightly shiny at this moment and made Xiu Zhe feel a little hot, and the fourth and fifth strange runes were also looming, especially the fourth rune seemed to be about to completely appear on Xiu Zhe's ghost hand arm, just like the previous three runes.
"Don't go see the aurora!" Pu Ermeng's loud shouts pulled Xiu Zhe's thoughts back to the sky, and Xiu Zhe sat on the ground with his left hand, covering his ghost hand and arm, panting heavily.
"What's wrong with you?!" Albert beside Xiu Zhe only heard a terrible crying sound coming from Xiu Zhe's body, and then turned around, only to see Xiu Zhe fall to the ground, and his body trembled slightly.
Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on Xiu Zhe's forehead, "I... I'm fine, just slow down, the light in the sky is the aurora, and the ghosts and gods in my body seem to have a slight reaction with that light. ”
Hearing Xiu Zhe say this, everyone was shocked, what the aurora represented, everyone including Ophelia, who had no power, knew very well, it seemed that they had indeed been taken to the area outside the territory by the Heavenly Veil Beast.
It's just that no one knows whether this is the far north or the far south.
The pain came and went quickly, Xiu Zhe only took two big breaths and returned to normal, and at this time, Yong Shili and Kai Li, who were washing their faces by the river, also returned to the team, and they were also extremely surprised to hear Barne's analysis.
Unknown things can always bring people a sense of panic, even if they are as strong as Forrest Gump Zobar and others, now there are more problems plaguing everyone, Barn tried to contact the outside world but got no response, even Kakun, who said in advance that he would answer everyone after the Lotus was recruited, did not have any contact.
"The Heavenly Veil Behemoth has been on the West Coast once in twenty years, could it be that this big whale has left the West Coast and we have to live here for twenty years before we can return to the mainland?" Rainey hugged each other's arms and rubbed nervously as he muttered.
The atmosphere fell silent, looking at Barn, whose face was gradually gloomy, Forrest Gump wanted to say something but opened his mouth and closed it, even he didn't know what to do, Forrest Gump was a prodigal son who had nothing to worry about, and he lived the same everywhere since Luxie's death.
But Barnes just got married, so he can't let his wife Emily stay alone in the empty house for twenty years, right? Xiu Zhe and others are also young people, and they shouldn't waste a lot of time here, but to see the wonders of the mainland.
"It's happened, no matter how much we think about it, it's useless, you won't forget what the Heavenly Veil Behemoth is for, right?" Halfway through the day, Barn spoke.
"But..." Rainey's eyes were full of tears, her voice trembled a little, she joined the Iron Wolf Knights to make some fame and make her mother live a better life, but now the hero can't do it, and her mother will die of old age twenty years later, and then go back to fulfill her filial piety?
Barn raised his hand and slapped Rainey in the face, but although it sounded, Barn didn't use much strength.
"Crying for what?! In front of so many people, what about the glory of the empire that you usually talk about? Crying and chirping can solve the problem? Barn shouted coldly, then swept his gaze over everyone and continued: "Staying here will only be exhausted by the endless octopus monsters, and Lotus can't wait for our morale to be low!" ”
"Barn is right, the more time we delay here, the greater the danger, and no one can say when the Heavenly Veil Behemoth will be completely controlled by Lotus and dive into the ocean! You have to know that this is either the far north or the far south, and if this big whale dives into the ocean without Lotus touching it, everyone will drown! Forrest Gump said to Ophelia, still on the left side, "Continue to lead the way." ”
As soon as the words fell, a strange sound of 'coo' came from all directions, and the corner of Forrest Gump's left eye twitched, this voice is all too familiar to everyone, it is the sound of the octopus monster squirming and walking against the ground.
Holding the weapon in his hand tightly, Xiu Zhe looked coldly ahead, and with the help of the Eye of the Mind, Xiu Zhe could feel a special aura in the direction he was facing.
"Oh my God......" Yong Shili exclaimed as she looked at the huge black octopus wriggling out of the jungle.
Not only was Yong Shili shocked, but Barn was directly happy, this guy is as tall as Xiaoshan, could it be Rotes?
Barn was not the only one who had this thought, but when everyone was surprised, they also felt that the energy in its body was not so terrifying.
"Can Lotus be so weak?" Forrest Gump smiled disdainfully, and his shrugged shoulders relaxed.
Barn sighed when he came to his senses, he wanted to face Lotus directly and didn't want to face it now.
Because of these annoying octopuses, Barn wants to face Lotus as soon as possible to solve things so that he can rest, and the reason why he doesn't want to face Lotus is that he is afraid that Rotus's power will be beyond everyone's imagination, just like the Fifth Apostle Shylock who met in the Cave of Sorrow.
"The ants that interfere with Lord Rotus's plans will be turned into fertilizer for this land."
Everyone raised their eyebrows, this sentence was obviously made by the black octopus, but where did it come from? After all, this black octopus is no different from other octopuses except for its color and size, and it has one big eye and no mouthparts.
"You've got too much nonsense." Forrest Gump's left body moved, and he came to the big eyes of the black octopus, and the giant sword stabbed with a whining wind.
'Poof' sounded like a fart, and suddenly everyone was wrapped in a pungent black fog, and Xiu Zhe's heart eye and heart eye were activated at the same time, and he didn't even see the location of the people around him.
At the same time, Xiu Zhe's reaction was not unpleasant, and before Ophelia and Yong Shili fell into a panic, he stretched out his hands according to the position of the three of them in his memory.
Grabbing a slender arm with his left hand and pulling it into his arms, Ophelia's somewhat panicked face appeared in Xiuzhe's field of vision.
And Xiu Zhe's ghost hand held a slippery thing, and he didn't have to think much about it to know that he and Yong Shili had separated, and this slippery thing was the tentacles of the octopus monster.
