"Be careful!" Duran let out a loud shout and grabbed Ketra in an attempt to pull her away. However, these dozen tentacles would not sit idly by and watch their resistance, in fact, as soon as they appeared, the dark purple tentacles had already surrounded them.

The girl slipped under her feet, and was wrapped around her waist by a slippery tentacle, and then was lifted high and hung in the air.

And Duran also fell into a situation of self-care, these tentacles seemed to have been ambushed for a long time, and Duran's perception was not even discovered in advance.

"Damn it! What a strong defense. Duran slashed at the tentacle wrapped around his right foot, but he could only cut a not-so-deep scar on the huge suction cup!

The defenses of these tentacles are so strong that it is unbelievable.

Duran's heart sank immediately, and at this time he was attacked on his back, but he was not directly tied up like Kate by relying on his agility. But his room for dodge is shrinking more and more, and these tentacles seem to have a sanity, tacitly eating away at Duran's survival and dodge space.

All the tentacles were dark purple, as if an octopus had been lying in ambush for a long time and brewed a ferocious blow, so swift that people were caught off guard.

Each tentacle was about twenty feet long, and it was very thick, like a pillar, making it difficult for Duran to get his hands on it. What's even more unguardable is that these tentacles react very quickly and move extremely flexibly, swishing towards each other, and Duran dodges very hard.

"Ah...... Yes! Kate was swept into the sky and let out a cry of exclamation, her chest and abdomen so tightly clamped that she could barely breathe. It took all her strength to make these screams, and then her face turned blue and purple, as if she was in danger of suffocation.

Hearing this, Duran gritted his teeth, put away the vampire scimitar with his left hand, and violently released a flame several feet long.

Stray Tongue of Fire!

The flames inspired by the Flame Monarch's talent are naturally unusual, and their temperatures are so high that only a few special magical flames can match. One of the tentacles that was close to it was burned by the stray tongue of fire, and immediately retracted, and the whole tentacle began to shrink and roll, looking very frightened.

As soon as Duran saw that there was a play, he simply let the wandering tongue of fire cover his hands, and his body temperature continued to rise—this was a manifestation of the activation of the Flame Monarch's talent.

In the thick darkness, Duran was like two flaming fireballs rushing into the tentacle-lined area, these terrifying things seemed to have met a nemesis, and the only way to escape when they encountered a wandering tongue of fire was to escape. Duran was overjoyed and burned all the way through, finally saving Kate.

"Hey, Kate, are you okay?" Duran used his wandering tongue of fire to force the tentacles back, while supporting Kate to keep retreating.

"Ahem, cough, cough......" The silver-haired warlock kept coughing, scarlet blood overflowing from her nose, and it took a long time to reluctantly speak: "I'm okay, these monsters, where did these monsters come from?" ”

"Under our feet." Duran said succinctly, "If I'm not mistaken, they must have been in ambush here for a long time. ”

"Ambush?"

"Yes, ambush." Duran shrugged: "Perhaps someone knew that we were going to pass through this place, so they ordered them to ambush here; Or maybe it was just an accident, and these tentacles were just some ignorant monsters that happened to thrive here. ”

"It doesn't make sense." Despite the minor injuries, the girl was still in her clear mind: "This is the only way to get in and out of this space, and if it was a coincidence, then those Orser pathogens should have run into them countless times." ”

"Huh? That's true. Duran stepped back, and a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind: "I think I know what this thing is!" ”

Previously, Duran was caught off guard by these tentacles, and his mind didn't turn for a while, but now that he was reminded by Kate, his brain suddenly cleared up a lot.

This place is the only place to enter and exit the temple, and the team composed of a total of eight batches of Orsher pathogens that Duran encountered before must have come out of here, if these tentacles happen to be ambushed here, then the first to suffer must be those Orshur pathogens; But the fact that every Othur pathogen Duran encountered didn't seem to have any scars on them, meant they were able to pass through here unscathed.

Aside from the fact that they have some special knocks or other possibilities, the rest of the way to explain it all is that the tentacles don't attack the Othur pathogen.

Because they are their own people.

"A poisonous anemone that grows in the Sea of Othur." A gleam flashed in Duran's eyes, "I thought it was an octopus-like monster, but I forgot about such a notorious thing." ”

"Poisonous anemones?" Kate gasped slightly and said, "This thing is highly poisonous?" ”

Duran nodded, "It's a slow-moving creature that releases a neurotoxin that paralyzes you...... Wait, Kate, you're ......."

The girl smiled silently, her whole body stiffened, her eyes almost blurred, and she fell into Duran's arms.

"Kate!" Duran took a deep breath, feeling a little flustered for the first time.

According to Duran's knowledge, the neurotoxin secreted by the highly toxic anemone is not directly lethal, so Duran does not have to worry about the girl's life for the time being. But a completely paralyzed warlock would not only do Duran no favor, but would become a burden to him, especially in this case.

Duran was counting on Kate to throw a few Infernal Fires, after all, his wandering tongue of fire was only a talent that could not last long, and could only temporarily stop the poisonous anemones.

A dozen tentacles restlessly slapped the ground more than a dozen feet away from Duran, and he held Kate and quickly retreated, but at the same time did not let his guard down:

"One, two, three...... XVI.XVII...... Seventeen!? ”

Duran suddenly felt that something was wrong, there were only seventeen tentacles in front of him who were forced by himself not to pounce, and before he had clearly calculated, there were a total of eighteen tentacles.

Where else did the one go?

As soon as this question came up, Duran hugged Kate, and the two of them suddenly rushed to the side!

Thundered!

There was a burst of stone cracking, and the rubble was sprinkled one after another, and a thick tentacle suddenly poked out from the place where Duran was standing, if it wasn't for Duran's quick reaction, I am afraid that this time he would be plotted by a highly poisonous anemone.

"Damn ......" The grizzled Duran shoved Kate aside, and he rolled over and stood up, trying to fight the tentacle.

Who knew that at this time, the menacing tentacle suddenly stopped, and it seemed that it could not go any further.

Duran's eyes rolled, and he immediately understood the joints - although the poisonous anemone can move, its movement speed is very slow, not to mention the current situation, this monster is most likely buried its main body under the vast earth. Although it can secrete a slime that constantly corrodes stones, so as to achieve the purpose of ambushing and stealing underground, this speed is very slow, not comparable to the speed of human walking.

At present, Duran and Kate are just outside the attack range of the poisonous anemone.

Seeing the eighteen tentacles waving their teeth and claws, Duran quietly carried Kate farther away to prevent her from being accidentally hurt. Then he turned back, ten feet away from the tentacle at the front, and slowly observed the situation.

He had to kill the poisonous anemone, or they wouldn't be able to move on. The only way to the Temple of the Girl of Lies is blocked by this monster, and Duran has no choice.

The question is, what should he do?

The Poisonous Anemone's weaknesses lie in movement and fear of fire, and although Duran is a talent of the Flame King, the level of awakening is far from enough, otherwise throwing a few powerful fire abilities will do the trick. Although the wandering tongue of fire can force back the tentacles of the sea anemone, it cannot destroy it.

Kate, the only one who could release a large magical flame, fell into a state of paralysis, and according to Duran's estimates, the girl would be unconscious for at least ten minutes.

"Most of Ned's mana hasn't recovered, and it's useless to summon him now." Duran thought silently, "Although the vampire scimitar can break through defenses, it is very inefficient, and I can't waste my physical strength like this." ”

"In that case, that's the only way to go." (To be continued.) )
