Chapter 8: The True Face of the Wraith
In the darkness, Robin's voice came: "That guy's body structure is very weird, and my abilities are completely ineffective. β
Robin's ability to attack by growing arms at key points in the opponent's body, bending joints in reverse, and breaking bones, is definitely a lethal move for ordinary people, and it has no effect on this "resentful spirit......
It seemed that the enemy in front of him still couldn't be underestimated, and Bucky tensed his nerves and waited for the other party's next move.
The enchanting green light suddenly lit up like a ghost fire in a tomb, and then turned into a green streamer and approached this side.
Bucky's pupils shrank, and the green light actually disappeared in an instant, and then appeared in front of his eyes, and there was a "crackling" sound in the air, like the explosion of the end of a horsewhip.
He only felt as countless solid whips resembling wooden bars poured down on his head. In desperation, he hurriedly covered his head with both hands, but in the gap between his arms, pain hit his face in all directions.
There is no pain as expected, no......
As if he had discovered something, Bucky's hands suddenly opened, and the splitting fruit was activated, his hands and feet came out, tightly wrapping around the green light in front of him, and the other party's slippery body was desperately wrapped by him.
"Kachiu!" The green light made a strange sound, and then something splashed out of its body, and a stream of salty juice sprayed onto Bucky's face, and suddenly his eyes went black, and he couldn't even see the last two green lights, and the front seemed to be coated with a layer of glue, which was very uncomfortable.
"Chirp Ka Chirpβ"
Like the refreshing sound of a combo in an arcade, the guy in front of him continued to send out a series of slashing air currents against Bucky's body, passing through Ba's body, and the trees behind him were cut off one by one.
And Bucky, who couldn't see anything, picked up his fist and smashed it into the opponent's body in the most direct and violent way.
β¦β¦
The dark clouds on the horizon were gradually blown away by the wind, and a round of jade plates and stars were once again hung in the air, and the light faintly illuminated the situation in the forest through the dappled shadows of the trees.
Bucky, whose face was covered in black juice, used up a lot of strength and finally pressed the guy in front of him to the ground, if it weren't for the fact that this guy's slash neutralized him, I'm afraid he would have to explain it here today.
"Octopus?" He wiped the ink on his face, and saw clearly the guy who was suppressed by himself with black lines on his face, and what he was in front of him was actually ...... Something that looks like an octopus!
The captain of the dignified Bucky Pirates actually got into such a fight with an octopus, and if it spread, the reputation of the East China Sea pirates would simply be lost.
Robin re-lit an oil lamp to dispel the darkness in front of her, and she looked at the octopus with a painstaking look, the green tentacles looked like vines, and the two thicker tentacles like feet were more exaggerated than tentacles, more like the shape of human feet, the octopus's face had outstretched mouthparts, and its eyes reflected a green light under the oil lamp.
Robin looked at it repeatedly in amazement, and said decisively: "This should be a landed octopus, legend has it that this octopus originally lived in the deep sea, but in the drive and predation of sea beasts, it broke through the shackles of biology, successfully landed and lived a strange animal, I heard that the life span is much longer than that of a sea turtle, and I have seen it for the first time." β
"It doesn't matter if he goes ashore with an octopus or a sea octopus, my Uncle Bucky wants to eat raw octopus fillet today!" Bucky flashed his dagger from the cuff of his sleeve.
"Wait, Rednose-kun." Robin stopped him, "The landed octopus will never have such a powerful attack power and fast movement ability, I wonder if its strength and speed will have some kind of connection with this ruin?" I don't think it's better to kill it just yet. β
Listening to Robin's words, the blades of the daggers in Bucky's hands rubbed against each other, making a somewhat oozing rustling sound, and his face grinned, his teeth became whiter against the ink on his face, "Octopus dude, do you want to taste what octopus fillets are like?" β
......The big octopus couldn't break free from Bucky's restraint for a while, and his two green eyes looked at the dagger in each other's hands in horror, and quickly shook his head humanely.
"Don't you really want to?" The cold dagger in Bucky's hand stuck to the edge of the octopus's head and stuck into the mud, "It's delicious......"
"Kachirp !!"
A large amount of cold sweat broke out on the face of the big octopus, knowing that its own attack was ineffective against Bucky, it had no fighting spirit at all, and the green tentacles on its body were desperately digging the ground, trying to break free from Bucky's shackles, and the arrogance of the attack just now was suddenly gone.
"It turned out to be a guy who bullies the weak and is afraid of the hard." Bucky clutched one of the tentacles of the big octopus, and the strength of the other party to break free was not as great as he imagined, even if it was a mutant octopus, it was just a strange octopus in the final analysis.
However, in this way, the truth of the matter has been solved, the reason why those animals retreated was because they were alert to the boundaries of the territory, and Robin's flower fruit did not work because this guy was a mollusk.
So, it's not Chris and the bandits who are playing tricks, the so-called resentful spirit is actually this guy whose two eyes can glow green in the dark.
"Don't scare it." Robin smiled and approached the big octopus, trying to make himself look harmless, "Brother Octopus, how about we solve the problem peacefully?" β
"Kachiu!" The big octopus seemed to be frightened, and its mouth squirted a large amount of ink towards Robin, and Robin instantly grew three pairs of arms, and his palms crossed in front of him, intercepting the splash of ink outside the back of his hand.
Her arms turned into petals scattered in the air, and she continued to smile and said, "Hehehe~ Will we eat octopus fillets?" β
β¦β¦
After more than ten minutes, Bucky and Robin finally got the big octopus right, this guy is completely greedy for life and afraid of death, under the coercion and intimidation of Bucky and Robin singing and harmonizing, he obediently obeyed.
The large octopus walks with two muscular tentacles that resemble legs, surrounded by several tentacle protections around the two "feet", and its head is tethered by a dog-chain-like rope, the other end of which is led by Bucky.
Robin read the parchment scroll with an oil lamp, and then glanced at the big octopus: "Octopus brother, lead the way, I don't really like to eat octopus fillet." β
"Kachirp." The big octopus let out a dejected voice and reluctantly accepted the facts.
Led by a big octopus, the two walked along the way, I don't know how long they walked, and finally saw a dense light ahead.
A large circular altar was built in the middle of the forest, and in the center of the altar was a broken stone statue, the outline of which could be faintly seen in the glow of the moonlight.
It is a stone statue with only the lower body left, the fracture above the waist is uneven, and the lines of the cloth skirt are carved below the waist, and the bottom is a strong and thick thigh, which seems to be a man, and the upper body of the stone statue does not seem to be nearby.
Bucky looked around, the altar covers an area of less than 100 square meters, you can see the end at a glance, the ground is full of stone bricks, and there is not even a golden thing nearby, is this the ancestral ruins?
Robin touched the stone statue and said with some surprise: "I'm afraid this stone statue is hundreds of years old, and it can still be kept so intact......
Bucky stepped forward and nodded in agreement: "Except for the missing upper body, there are indeed no traces of natural erosion on this stone statue, and the lines are clear, if it is really hundreds of years old, it is really a terrible preservation technology." β
Bucky pulled the big octopus over: "Octopus fillet, do you know what's going on here?" β
"Click, click."
I don't understand what it's saying at all......
Bucky asked Robin, "There must be some mechanism here, Miss Robin." β
Robin glanced up at the full moon in the sky and said calmly, "Yes, we came at the right time. β
