Chapter 257: Tentacles, See Tentacles Again

Just as Luo Jie and his party were about to get in the car and leave the lakeside to find safe shelter, a slight rustling sound suddenly sounded in the grass at the water's edge, as if something was crawling on it.

Luo Jie subconsciously glanced in the direction of the sound, and there was only the jagged outline of the grass in the ultrasound vision, but [Super Sense Intuition] did not give any warning of danger, and it was estimated that even if something was there, it should be some harmless creature.

Xia Ping Linghua habitually walked to the driver's seat, but was stopped by Luo Jie from behind and said, "Xia Ping Linghua, you can take a break, I will drive later." ”

Luo Jie mainly considered that he was the only one in the team who had 50 meters of ultrasound vision and could move forward in the dark, but Xia Ping Linghua obviously misunderstood something, and his face turned almost imperceptibly red.

"That...... Dire-kun, you can call me ...... later"

Before she could finish her words, a black shadow suddenly wrapped around her slender waist from behind, dragging her into the fog behind her at lightning speed.

Immediately after, several black shadows shot out of the mist one after another, flying straight towards everyone on the lakeside.

Only then did Luo Jie see clearly in the light of the headlights that these black shadows were actually several pink-purple soft tentacles the thickness of a human arm.

"Be careful! Get in the car! ”

Luo Jie naturally recognized what this was.

In the original plot of "The Mist", this is the first monster to be exposed to human sight outside the fog, with dozens of octopus-like soft tentacles.

These tentacles are usually rolled inward, but when hunted, they open to a flat shape, revealing the sharp mouthparts wrapped inside, and the edges of the tentacles are lined with barbs, making it difficult to shake off the prey once it is caught.

The most terrifying thing is that these tentacles have a shielding effect on spiritual perception, and many mental detection skills cannot detect their approach, and many players in their previous lives died inexplicably under the sneak attack of these tentacles.

Not everyone has the ability to see darkly, and in a panic, the bald uncle Ryoichi Suzuki ran in the opposite direction, and was immediately caught by the barbs of several tentacles, tearing off large pieces of skin and flesh from his body and limbs.

Succulents are veteran players after all, and their reaction speed is much faster than that of newcomers like Ryoichi Suzuki, raising his hand to smash a fireball on the oncoming sharp toothed mouthparts, the pink and purple tentacles instantly shrink, smoking white smoke twitching and shaking, and the smell of summer barbecue stalls is faintly filled with the air.

"Meaty, save people!"

Luo Jie's double knives spun sharply, cutting the tentacles flying in front of him into juice splashes, and then chased to the root of the tentacles, aimed at one of the tentacles that was obviously bulging in the middle, and slashed at a terrifying knife nearly two meters long.

Smack——!

The tentacles fell to the ground and twitched, and from the neat section, Megumi Kishimoto's body was squeezed out little by little by the wriggling cavity.

The mucus on the inner wall of the tentacles has a strong corrosive effect on inorganic matter, and it seems that it is the first to remove those things that cannot be eaten when delivering nutrients to the body.

Therefore, even though it was only a few seconds, the black tights on Megumi Kishimoto's body had corroded many large and small holes, revealing the seductive girlish skin inside.

Luo Jie quickly lifted the ban on the [Water Gathering Technique], condensed a water ball the size of a watermelon and smashed it on Megumi Kishimoto's body, forcibly washing away the remaining corrosive slime, and then directly crossed her to find the next team member to be devoured.

"Dire, I've found Sakuragaoka!"

On the other side, the "Succulent" also dragged out the unconscious Sakuragaoka Saint from a severed tentacle, but he didn't have such a convenient skill as the [Water Gathering Technique], so he could only squat helplessly and watch the brown-skinned girl on the ground gradually turn naked.

Maybe there were too many injured tentacles, and it felt that these small meat worms on the ground were not easy to mess with, and the remaining tentacles began to shrink in an orderly manner, and they sank into the lake one after another.

Luo Jie hadn't found the tentacle that devoured the Xia Ping Ling flower at this time, how could he let this thing come and go as he wanted, and told the "succulent" to take care of the car and the David family, and then followed the ripples of the tentacle sinking, and flew into the lake.

Veteran fantasy players rarely don't understand water.

Luo Jie also went into the water in his previous life, and also fought sharks in the Caribbean.

However, no matter how good the water is, human beings, as terrestrial creatures, have a deep sense of unease and fear for huge bodies of water such as lakes and oceans.

But this time it was completely different.

After entering the water, he did not feel the ubiquitous water pressure at all, and the surface of his body seemed to have an invisible smooth film, which could discharge the water flow to both sides with his movements, and his movements would not be affected by resistance at all.

The most important thing is that the fog from the outside world that would interfere with the spiritual detection skill cannot enter the lake, Luo Jie's ultrasound vision is no longer blocked, and the situation in the water area within a radius of hundreds of meters is clear in his eyes at this moment, even more than the naked eye on land can see more things.

Humanity's fear of deep water stems from the unknown of the world that cannot be seen with the naked eye, and the inability to breathe and move freely, but once these two points are resolved, the difference between water and land for humans will be minimal.

The body of the octopus monster didn't seem to expect that Luo Jie would dare to follow his territory, and the anger and shame of being hurt on the land burst out at this moment, and countless tentacles poured from all directions under the water, opening the mouthparts full of sharp teeth and barbs at the top, obviously wanting to strangle this little flesh worm that was not self-sufficient in the water.

However, under the skill effect of the [Canglong Skeleton Pendant], Luo Jie was even more dexterous and fast than ordinary aquatic creatures, and under the light swing of his feet, his body was like a flexible dolphin that instantly slashed out more than ten meters, easily passing through the strangulation of the three tentacles, and the rippled blade of the backhand cut the tentacles behind him into two sections.

The painful tentacles curled up into a cylindrical shape again, and with the violent shaking stirred up the mud and sand at the bottom of the water, the surrounding waters instantly became turbid, like the thick fog outside.

Luo Jie's ultrasound vision was not affected by the mud and sand in the slightest, and the double knives in his hands shot out rippled knife rays, like a meat grinder running at full speed, violently tearing apart the tentacles blocking the road in front of him, and swimming straight towards an unnatural protruding object at the bottom of the lake dozens of meters away.

The boulder-like object also felt the threat of Luo Jie, and suddenly spewed out a dark green water arrow from his mouth, Luo Jie had long been on guard against this octopus monster dog jumping off the wall, and quickly rose to avoid the water arrow comparable to a cannonball, but his body was still flipped a few times by the high-speed flowing undercurrent, and his legs were buckled by the tentacles that followed.
