Chapter 213: Octopus's Square

The fact that the temple is protected is supposedly something that only insiders can know. Because of this, after Vader finished shouting, some mercenaries with more bright brains immediately cast puzzled glances.

As soon as he shouted, Vader realized that he had said the wrong thing. Thinking of the hatred of these involved mercenaries for the GBL Sect, her face immediately became ugly. If the mercenaries were allowed to find out about her GBL status, she couldn't imagine what would happen.

"When you say that, I suddenly remembered that in the documents I got before, it seems that things here were indeed recorded." Just as Vader felt overwhelmed, Nia's voice suddenly came from behind her.

"What are you staring at Vader like this, she is the main force in cracking the GBL teaching text. What is written in the literature may save your life at some point. With her hands on her hips, Nia stood in front of Vader and glared viciously at the mercenaries.

"Uh, haha, I see. I really didn't expect that Miss Vader would also be involved in this kind of side-of-the-road writing. After being glared at by Nia, the mercenaries' momentum weakened significantly. It was just their speculation before, but now that they heard another reasonable explanation, the mercenaries naturally chose to be convinced easily.

"Hmph, it's a shame that you are suspicious of her now, Vader stayed up late every night to decipher the documents in vain." Flicking her head to the side, Nya snorted from between her noses.

"Okay, we got it. You'll never doubt Vida again, okay. Nia, who looked like she was throwing a tantrum, the mercenaries around Nia laughed helplessly.

Because of Nia's previous strength, the mercenaries had subconsciously regarded her as a strong man, but this incident made the mercenaries suddenly realize that the strong man who had always made them a little afraid was just a young girl. Invisibly, the mercenaries felt that Nia had become a lot more kind.

"Hmph, I'll forgive you for now."

This is the end of a small episode. It was only at this moment that Nia and Vader finally exhaled secretly.

Because of the suddenness of the incident, Nia didn't have time to organize the language at all, remembering what had just happened, she couldn't wait to find a hole in the ground to get into, and her painting style was definitely not this kind of tsundere.

"It seems that there is no other way but to go in."

But no matter what, the exploration of the temple is still going on as usual. A few of the mercenaries driving Dornier were left outside to keep guard, while the rest followed Nia into the temple. In fact, when the hapless mercenary was left with no scum left in the face of the temple's counterattack, the rest of the mercenaries who were driving Dornier were somewhat frightened to approach the temple.

The obstacles encountered by the octopuses did not appear, and Nia easily stepped through the door of the temple.

By this time, the octopuses had left the depths of the temple, and all that remained on the ground in front of Nia was a large amount of slime left behind by the octopus's movement and some scraps of cloth that could barely be seen as clothes. The interior of the temple is littered with furnishings, but judging by the intact walls, it is clear that there has never been any fierce fighting.

In addition, Nia also noticed something unusual, the ground here was unusually wet. As mentioned earlier, the temple was made of earth and stone. Supposedly, this would not have happened here without a constant supply of water.

"Is this running water from the faucet?" The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and Nia couldn't help but whisper.

It is not clear how the GBL building was built, but after opening the gate, the sunlight has been shining to a very deep place, although the surrounding light gradually dims as the crowd goes deeper, but it is still enough to recognize the way.

The sound of the octopus moving was heard from a distance, and after hearing this sound, the mercenaries clenched their weapons one after another. As expected, it won't be long before everyone faces a fierce battle.

"Do as you were before." The pace of progress slowed slightly, and Nia whispered to the mercenaries behind her.

After hearing Nia's voice, the mercenaries neatly took out a bottle of potion from their waists. This bottle of potion is not meant to be drunk. When the bottle was opened, a crystal blue powder spilled out of it, and the ordinary weapons stained with the powder shimmered like magic weapons.

[Ice Powder], although she was not able to make a mid-level strength potion, Nia was able to make these powders before the team left. If you're just facing a normal enemy, the powder can only slow down the enemy's attack for a while, but when the opponent becomes an octopus creature that relies on moisture, the weapon contaminated with these powders can burst into a higher level of power.

Originally, according to the previous experience, these octopuses were able to survive stably on land, and even when Nia was making ice powder, she only considered providing more combat power for the mercenaries, until she noticed the wet ground of the temple, and Nia finally concluded that these octopuses had not been able to mutate into land creatures after all.

This temple was not very deep, and it took less than ten minutes to move forward, and a huge square in the shape of a square appeared in front of Nia and the others, who had just walked out of the temple.

The area of the square is very large, and there are temples in each of the four directions, east, west, south, and north, and these temples exist as the 'gates' of the square.

In the middle of the square, there is another slightly dwarf temple. The height of this temple is only about ten meters, but in terms of its structure, it is several times better than those temples outside. The beautifully preserved frescoes look like they haven't been touched in any way. If the temple outside is just an ordinary ancient ruin, then the temple in front of you can be said to be a beautiful work of art. It can be said that this is the real 'central temple'.

But these were not the things that the mercenaries were most concerned about at this time, as soon as they walked out of the temple, the mercenaries focused their attention on the spacious square. At this time, the square has been occupied by octopuses of various colors, and in terms of numbers, the octopuses here are definitely far more than Nia and they encountered before.

Not only that, but at this time, there are a lot of octopus eggs in the square. The eggs are blood-red in color, about half a meter in height, and the shape of the eggs roughly resembles a large blood-colored goo, in which a near-mature octopus is curled up, as can be seen from some of the goo balls that have become transparent.

And what supported this hemisphere was actually a corpse that fell to its knees and became dry. The corpse's head vanished, replaced by the massive blood-colored octopus egg.

Combined with the situation of the GBL believers they had encountered before, it is not difficult to guess that these octopuses are parasitic on the human head and are born by absorbing the nutrients of the body, but after the results are obtained, the mercenaries all feel that their scalps are exploding.
