Chapter 399: Overlord Octopus
"I've got him, Jeff, quick!" Paul brandished his sword and fought the overlord octopus. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The size of the overlord octopus is more hideous, larger, and more terrifying than Cyril imagined.
In general shape, it looks much like a normal octopus, but the tip of the head has two long, sharply raised dark blue threaded horns.
The surface of its body is a slightly transparent light blue, and when it melts into the ocean, it cannot be found at all.
Of course, the most terrifying thing is the more than thirty hideous tentacles, each with a diameter of nearly one meter, and the surface of the tentacles has suction cups attached to them. Cyril had no doubt that even armor made of forged steel would instantly turn into a lump of iron slag under the entanglement of his tentacles.
And Paul, who was fighting with the octopus in close quarters, was also under the most pressure at this time, although he was a speed-type swordsman, but at this time he had done his best just to dodge the countless tentacle combos.
Rowling, who was standing far away, kept pulling her bow and shooting arrows, trying to provide long-range support, but due to the particularity of the overlord octopus's body, most general magic and physical attacks could not cause enough damage to it, and even Rowling had shot more than a dozen arrows in a row, but she couldn't make the overlord octopus look at her.
And Cyril was also forbidden by Jeff and Paul not to go up and engage the Overlord Octopus in melee combat, because he didn't know the unique attack routine of the Overlord Octopus, and if he was accidentally entangled in the tentacles, he couldn't even leave the whole corpse.
Two wisps of wind curled up on the long sword, and while Paul tried his best to fight back and dodge, he shouted in a little hurry: "Isn't it okay yet? I can't hold it out here, this guy's strength is too great!"
Cyril, who was chanting a spell, also found that Paul was at the end of the crossbow at this time, although he did not fight the overlord octopus head-on, but just looking at its huge body, he thought that his strength should have been close to the strength of a power-level melee professional.
Paul, on the other hand, is better at high-speed counterattacks and agile movements, and head-to-head confrontation with the enemy is not his strong point.
Cyril snapped the two fingers of his right hand together, and two slightly twisted thunder spears shot out from the dark purple magic array behind him.
After a burst of sound and a deep purple trail in the air, the two thunder spears struck the head of the Overlord octopus hard.
Although Cyril's use of any magic now increases his mana consumption, due to the corruption of the Sin Mud, Cyril's own magic power has nearly doubled compared to that of a profession of the same level.
But even so, the two thunder spears did not happen in the slightest after they bombarded the overlord octopus.
Where the overlord octopus was hit, there were only two wisps of green smoke, and then the skin with slight burn marks immediately returned to its original state.
"Just kidding, it's useless to attack at this level?"
Although the Thunder Spear is not a particularly powerful magic, as a thunder-attribute magic, it has a strong penetrating power.
Coupled with the powerful destructive power of the thunder attribute, which is no less powerful than the fire attribute, the power of this magic is not bad, but even so, it can't hurt the overlord octopus, which makes Cyril a little surprised.
"My lord, it's useless, the overlord octopus is quite resistant to elemental magic. To defeat it, you must first destroy the two horns on its head, which are the source of its own magic. ”
Jeff spoke as he adjusted what was in front of him, and the strange thing in front of him was an alchemy item he had taken from his subspace equipment.
It looked about a meter and a half tall, similar to the weapons on some of the ships Cyril had seen in the harbor before, but instead of the usual magic crystal cannons, it looked like fishing cannons.
After setting up the fishing cannon, Jeff mounted a trident about two meters long with three prongs in front of it, and the whole body was made of shimmering metal.
He aimed left and right for a long time, and after Cyril released the Thunder Spear, there was a brief pause in the Overlord Octopus's body.
Jeff's pupils shrank slightly, and then he pulled the lever back hard, and the trident shot out with a loud bang.
"Got it!" Jeff whispered in a somewhat excited voice.
The trident shot out of the air and slammed into the top of the octopus's head, smashing the two long, light-blue spiral horns in the middle.
Paul smiled at him, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then let out a low sigh of relief, and his body immediately jumped forward.
His whole body turned into a breeze and surrounded the overlord octopus, and every time he flashed, a long wound appeared on the overlord octopus.
And Rowling's hands, which kept pulling her bow and shooting arrows, moved a little faster, and the steel arrows she shot began to have colorful elements attached to them.
"Eh, it doesn't seem like this overlord octopus will recover?" Suddenly discovering that the wound left on the overlord octopus was no longer healing, Cyril said with some surprise.
Nodding, Jeff struggled to disassemble the machine in front of him, and explained, "That's right, if you destroy the two horns on the head of the Overlord Octopus, although it still retains its original strength and speed, its body is the same as that of an ordinary large octopus. Under the sword of an elite peak magic swordsman, it won't take more than a minute to die. ”
Somewhat stunned, Cyril nodded as Paul and Rowling teamed up to eliminate the overlord octopus.
The overall strength of this overlord octopus is definitely at the control level, if it is not for the extremely slow speed caused by its large size, then it has no problem dealing with some ordinary power levels.
But now it has been solved so easily by himself and others, it seems that although this sea area is dangerous, if you find the right way to deal with it, there should still be a great possibility to complete the trial.
Putting away his sword, Paul turned around and jumped back on the deck, he took a few breaths, and said, "Living up to your expectations, although it took a lot of effort, I also got rid of this dangerous monster." ”
"Monsters, shouldn't they be monsters?" asked Cyril, who was a little puzzled by a certain word in Paul's words.
At this time, Rowling, who had put away her longbow, walked over from the side, and after hearing Cyril's question, she explained: "The overlord octopus just now is not a monster, this dangerous and terrifying creature, we generally call them monsters, fierce creatures, fierce beasts and the like. ”
"No matter how powerful or not, Warcraft always has a certain amount of wisdom, and even the lowest-level Warcraft can compare with more intelligent beasts. ”
"But monsters are different, although I don't know what the reason is, but a certain part of the monsters suddenly began to evolve and mutate, as a price for gaining great strength and unique abilities, they lost all their reason and wisdom, and only the instinct of being a creature remained. ”
After listening to Rowling's explanation, Cyril gently stroked the edge of the mask, speaking of which, the attack method of the overlord octopus just now was indeed chaotic, and even the lowest-level ice wolf and other magical beasts would have a certain attack routine.
"My lord, please continue to be careful for the rest of the voyage, although the overlord octopus is large and fierce and aggressive, they are actually social creatures. Of course, it is not like the wolf monster that hundreds of them gather together, usually there will be about ten to hundreds of overlord octopuses in a sea area, which means that the nearby sea area is very dangerous. ”
Speaking of this, Jeff's face was a little ugly, he carefully looked at the map in his hand for a long time, and then said with a headache: "But if you follow the display on this map, this area should be in the yellow area at this time." ”
"What do you mean by the yellow zone?" Cyril asked with some confusion as he heard a phrase similar to a technical term pop out of Jeff's mouth.
"Well, whether it's pirates, navies or sailors, we usually divide the security of the sea area by color. In order of safety, they are blue, yellow, orange, red, purple, and black. ”
Sighing slightly, Cyril asked in a somewhat incredulous tone, "Isn't it possible for you to tell me that this area you are in now is the second safest area?"
Nodding, Jeff said a little dullly: "That's true, if the area of the overlord octopus is counted in the yellow area, then I really can't imagine what monsters will appear in the red area." ”
As he spoke, Jeff put the map in front of several people, and he pointed to one of the small islands and said, "And this island is where we are going next." ”
Cyril was basically completely incomprehensible to the charts, but he could still distinguish the colors.
A large area around the island, where Jeff tapped his fingers, was painted in a deep red.
Seeing that Paul and Rowling were both frowning, and even Cyril was silent, Jeff straightened up and said, "That's right, the nearest island we're going to has a radius of about ten miles in the red zone. According to this ratio, it is not surprising that there are monsters at the peak of the power level there. ”
However, even so, Cyril had no intention of changing the sailing plans of the few men, for the simple reason that almost every small island with hidden treasures was divided in red, and the area around the few small islands turned out to be purple and black.
In other words, although the area around the small island I chose at the beginning is dangerous, it is the safest of the islands where the treasures are hidden.
Raising his head, Cyril stared at the few people with dark purple pupils and said, "No matter what, we have to move on, so I'll leave it to you next." ”
