When she was on the periphery of the temple, Nia only felt a little sick to the octopus parasitizing on the human head, but now, looking at the dense red octopus eggs in the square, she only felt a chill rushing from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

"We're not going to be like that, are we?" Although the mercenaries brought by Nia this time all came from the tip of the knife, they were not born in those famous mercenary groups after all, and they would still have fear in the face of some powerful enemies, and what they saw this time was obviously beyond their comprehension. As the so-called unknown creatures make people frightened, in the face of the strange octopus square in front of them, many of the mercenaries trembled their legs, eager to turn around and leave here immediately.

The mercenaries lack the fighting spirit, but the octopuses obviously don't pay attention to this. After Nia and her party rushed out of the temple, the octopuses in the entire square immediately noticed it. Outside, the octopuses can't leave the temple to attack because of some kind of restriction, but here, they clearly don't have that restriction. Squirming, the octopuses approached in the direction of Nia and the others.

"Don't be afraid, no one has been strange until now, have we?" Shouting, Nia was at the front of the line. If the mercenaries were still in this state, they would not have any chance of winning in the face of the surging octopus.

"Are you now the cowards that even octopuses fear?" Following Nia's side, Mars clearly knew better how to mobilize the mercenaries' emotions in battle.

After Mars's explosion, the mercenaries finally regained some fighting spirit. Faced with a large number of octopuses approaching this direction, the mercenaries began to shrink neatly in the direction of the exit of the temple behind them.

As for why do you have to retreat after summoning up the will to fight? If you want to play with a large group of octopuses directly, you can stay where you are and experiment with it.

Retreat to the exit of the temple, which is only about five meters wide, and a dozen mercenaries are enough to block the octopuses in the doorway. Before entering the entrance of the temple, Nia sprinkled several bottles of ice powder in front of the doorway, turning the otherwise damp ground into a sheet of ice.

The octopuses apparently didn't realize that the arrangement for them had been prepared. The octopuses were still hugging each other, chasing in the direction of the mercenaries' retreat.

It didn't take long for the first batch of octopuses to arrive at the place where Nia had sprinkled her ice powder. Faced with the ground that was now cold and smooth, the octopuses clearly hesitated. But during this time, a rain of arrows shot out of the mercenary team, leaving several octopuses in place.

Although fewer than 10 people were able to shoot at the same time due to the width of the exit position, it is clear that the octopuses were more affected.

A layer of ice mist spread rapidly from the location of the octopus's arrows, and in just a few seconds, half of the octopuses were eroded by the frost. The body movements have become noticeably slower, and although these octopuses are still able to move due to their strong vitality, the threat that these tentacles can pose has become much less at this time.

The damage to their companion apparently angered the other octopuses, and after discovering that they could not cross the ice from anywhere else, the octopuses jumped towards the ice.

With the popping sound of mollusks smashing on the ground, the already not thick ice was easily smashed by the octopuses. The next octopus immediately jumped past the octopus in front of it and crawled towards the doorway.

"Cut." Seeing the octopuses get past the obstacle so quickly, Nia felt a little regretful. If she was able to make the 'Demon Dao Acid Rain Cloud' that only the Third Order of Demon Dao Scholars could learn at this time, then she would definitely be able to play a greater role in the face of these octopuses.

Nia hadn't learned any powerful ice skills at this time, but that didn't mean there was no one in the team who had mastered them.

A cloud of ice mist exploded among the octopuses, and the affected octopuses immediately became difficult to move. Ice-blue light flashed from the tip of Sitana's staff, and several ice spikes pinned several immobile octopuses to the ground under the pull of mana. In the face of cold-feared octopuses, it is clear that Stara, an ice mage, is more threatening than Nia.

Although relying on traps and firepower, the octopuses were pinned down on the outside for a while, but as the number of octopuses increased, soon the long-range shooters could not be completely suppressed, and the battle finally entered the melee phase. At this point, the advantage of retreating to the temple became even more apparent.

After several mercenaries with shields blocked the door, the octopuses who surrounded them were easily blocked outside, while the mages and archers in the back row were able to launch projectile attacks against the surging octopuses outside under the protection of shield warriors.

But if you really talk about it, it won't be easy for the mercenaries to stop the octopus. There were two other warriors at each side, and in the face of the repeated impact of the octopuses outside the shield wall, these shield warriors would not be able to stop them for too long. But even so, when facing the impact of the octopus, two mercenaries must carry the shield at the same time to resist.

In between, there are also some octopuses that want to attach themselves directly to the shield, and the melee mercenaries will step forward and stretch their weapons with ice powder through the gaps exposed by the shield's control, and cut the octopuses in half.

Although the enemy had an advantage in strength and numbers, the mercenaries clearly saw the hope of victory, and the battle was moving in a favorable direction.

But just then, a slightly larger, pure black octopus appeared in Nia's sight.

At this moment, it was the moment when a mercenary removed the shield through the gap, and the melee mercenary behind him wanted to cut off the octopus attached to the mercenary's shield.

"Be careful, tighten the shield, back in the front row!" Nia was in the middle of the line. After seeing the black octopus, she wanted to pounce some distance forward to rescue, but the narrow terrain at the exit became the biggest factor hindering her. At this point, it was too late to launch the teleportation, and in desperation, Nia could only shout forward.

But unfortunately, Nia's reminder was still a step too late after all. Before the melee mercenary could react, an arm-thick octopus tentacle squeezed in roughly through the gap in the shield.

Then, the tentacles wrapped around the melee mercenary standing behind the shield array like lightning, and the mercenary didn't even have time to scream, and the tentacles retreated outside the shield array with the mercenary.

Immediately after, a sound like bones being ground came from outside the shield array. Obviously, this mercenary has probably suffered an accident at this time.

Defeating the octopus in front of you is obviously not as simple as everyone thought before.
