Chapter Fifty-Nine: Bitterness and Joy Know Yourself
Demon Night Forest, in the swamp.
Standing up and looking around, he gradually found that the swamp mud that normally does not sink is more viscous, not boiling and bubbling, but the surface of the quagmire in front of him is already churning, from the perspective of the range of churning, the range of the quagmire in front of him is at least dozens of miles, and it must be extremely time-consuming to go around, but the quagmire cannot bear the load, and there are monsters guarding it, and there seems to be no other way in front of him except for a detour.
However, although Xiao Li stared at the front, what he thought of in his heart was not how to deal with it, but kept muttering, "Who is Sijun?"
After a while, the surface of the quagmire outside the center churned violently a few times, and then a shocking scene appeared.
"Bang!"
A huge tentacle suddenly emerged from the surface of the quagmire, stretching dozens of feet high, and the surrounding dead trees were like children in front of this huge tentacle. The shape of the giant tentacle looks like the tentacle of an octopus, and the surface is also covered with pimples, like a suction cup or something, but this huge tentacle is purple-black and looks even more disgusting.
Xiao Li looked up, his eyes widened in astonishment, and he couldn't help scolding in his heart, "Damn, is this the territory of the Blood Jade Tiger, how can there be so many messy neighbors?" Although he was a little angry in his heart, he couldn't afford to delay at the moment, he helped the strange man and hurriedly retreated.
"Bang!" In less than a moment, another huge tentacle rose from the quagmire.
"Bang, bang, bang......" Then six huge tentacles were drilled out one after another, and then eight huge tentacles were propped up on the mud surface, and a huge round thing the size of a house slowly emerged from the middle of the eight tentacles, and the falling swamp mud gradually made a rumbling sound like a waterfall in the quagmire, which was obviously the head of the monster shaped like an octopus.
The huge head was dark throughout, and a pair of black and shiny eyes the size of a grinding disc could be faintly seen, and beyond that, there was no other mouth and nose on the skull.
"Whew~"
The massive dome of the head slowly twisted until a pair of eyes looked straight at the solitary stand, and a look of greed and ecstasy appeared in the eyes.
Seeing this, his face became even more solemn, and he cursed in his heart, "If it goes on like this, before I meet the Blood Jade Tiger, I will have to die on the road." There are so many monsters here, why didn't the ancient tree demon senior inform him in advance, didn't he know......" Although he thought so in his heart, he still sped up under his feet.
In fact, the ancient tree demon naturally knew that there were some other demons in the territory of the Blood Jade Tiger, but in his eyes, these little demons were not worth mentioning, so he thought that there was no need to mention them.
Babbling at the behemoth that came out of the quagmire, but without the slightest hint of worry, from time to time with his teeth and claws, he seemed to be very excited, and wanted to rush forward several times.
However, Xiao Li always pressed him to his chest with his backhand, and finally reprimanded directly, "What do you want to do, you think it's an iron plate squid?"
The tentacles of this behemoth do look a little like the whiskers of a squid, and it is possible that this guy has remembered that he had previously introduced the famous food of the sizzling squid to Babbling and Qiuqiu.
Except for babbling, the weirdo didn't seem to be worried at all, just smiled and looked at the lonely standing.
Walking in the swamp was already a little slow, and at this time, he dragged this strange man who was a little stunned, and his speed was even slowed down.
"Whew~"
Just as he was desperately trying to escape, there was a sudden whistling sound of breaking wind behind him, apparently the huge octopus had moved.
Startled, he hurriedly turned his head to see, the huge octopus propped up its huge head with its tentacles, and the tentacles on both sides only moved forward, and it almost jumped forward dozens of zhang away, and the distance between the blinks was less than three zhang, and as long as the tentacles in front of it stretched out, they could catch all the tentacles in front of it.
"I'll go!" he exclaimed, and a wave of despair could not help but rise in his heart.
At this moment, the huge octopus demon suddenly stopped, shook its head and looked back, and suddenly, a red light flashed through its eyes, and it seemed to sense something. Immediately, its seemingly large and bloated body suddenly rose several feet with great agility, and at the same time spun backwards, and the two tentacles immediately roared downward.
At the moment when the huge octopus soared, a strange fish suddenly emerged from the position directly below its body. The size of this strange fish is simply beyond human comprehension, it is nearly twenty zhang long, and the largest fish it has ever seen, not even as big as a scale armor. Its body shape is roughly the same as that of the strange fish that was roasted before, except that above the head, a pair of eyes that are almost narrowed into a line can be faintly seen, and they look very fierce.
I don't know how many years this huge monster fish has survived, and there are eyes on its head, judging from its shape, it is likely to be the ancestor of other monster fish in this quagmire.
Obviously, it wanted to take advantage of the octopus's attack on the group, looking for an opportunity to sneak attack, but the octopus detected it in advance.
I saw that the ancestor of the strange fish opened his scarlet mouth, revealing two rows of messy fangs, and bit straight under the octopus's head.
The octopus made a "cooing" sound in its belly as it rose to meet the enemy, apparently furious when it sensed that the strange fish had attacked it. Its two very strong tentacles quickly grabbed the ancestor of the strange fish.
The body of the ancestor of the strange fish has jumped in the air, it is difficult to change direction, and it is about to be grabbed by the two tentacles of the octopus, but at the last moment, the body of the ancestor of the strange fish, suddenly like thunder and lightning, instantly moved forward a distance of nearly ten zhang, and it was able to avoid the blow of the octopus from top to bottom.
Immediately, the strange fish hung in the air, squinting its eyes, facing the lowly roaring octopus, staring coldly at each other.
There was no immediate action between the two for a while, but the situation around them suddenly became grim, and the air seemed to freeze, exuding a strong aura of danger.
Xiao Li didn't watch the confrontation between the two huge monsters in a daze, but took the opportunity to continue to escape, but at a glance, he couldn't help but be secretly frightened, this strange fish ancestor who seemed to be big and brainless, it seemed that he was also a little dependent, otherwise he would not dare to sneak attack easily. It was able to hang in mid-air and move quickly. However, the octopus is obviously not light, not only is it fast, but it also has eight tentacles to help.
I don't know who will win or lose in the end.
However, for Li, this is not the time to figure out this result, because no matter who wins in the end, the two monsters can easily clean up their group, and it is important to escape for now.
So, he dragged the strange man who had been staring at him and laughed, and raced away from it, hoping to find a hiding place and avoid the two huge monsters in front of him.
After a tense confrontation for a moment, the strange fish took the lead in making a move, and its body instantly moved downward, trying to bypass several tentacles of the octopus and attack the lower part of the octopus's huge head instead. The two monsters must have been together in the quagmire for a long time, and they must have fought many times during this period, so they must have been familiar with each other's weaknesses, and it seems that the octopus's cover door is in the lower part of the head.
The octopus reacted quickly, its body leaned forward instantly, and the tentacles in front of it closed together, making a gesture to resist, and the tentacles on both sides were thrown in front of it, striking towards the ancestor of the strange fish.
The ancestor of the strange fish seemed to have a plan for a long time, and seeing that the octopus made a gesture to resist the counterattack, he instantly turned sideways, and turned towards the lonely group that was trying to escape not far away.
"Whew"
Seeing this, the octopus roared a few times in a low voice, and then changed to an offensive posture, wanting to stop the ancestor of the strange fish, but after all, there was a pause, and the ancestor of the strange fish was thrown a distance of nearly ten zhang.
He had been paying attention to the battle in the rear, and when he saw this situation, he couldn't help but curse a few words. The huge monster fish was really insidious, it had already realized that it could not get a cheap advantage on the octopus, so it pretended to attack, but in fact it had already made up its mind to sneak up on the group.
Xiao Li originally wanted to take advantage of the fight between the two demons and escape from this place as soon as possible, but he never thought that the ancestor of the strange fish would actually play yin, and in a few breaths, he had already reached the top of the group of Lu Li, opened his fishy mouth, and made an attack posture.
Seeing this, he quickly pulled the somewhat stunned stranger behind him, and at the same time stuffed the ball and babbling into the stranger's arms.
The strange man retracted his stunned gaze, and carefully dragged the babbling and ball with his hand, with a puzzled expression. He didn't respond to this, but just made a 'quick walk' gesture at her.
Earlier, when he was stuck in the mire, he was tied up by the octopus and dragged downward, and if it hadn't been for the strange man who jumped into the mire to attack the octopus, he would have died in the mire. Now, all she can do is try to delay some time for her and the two little guys.
However, a few doubts still flashed through his mind, "Earlier, why did the strange person suddenly wake up for a moment and remind me that there was danger ahead, how did she know? Who is Sijun? Who is she?"
While thinking, he pulled out the wooden stick tied to his back with his backhand, raised his head slightly, and faced the ugly ancestor of the strange fish, and his expression did not show fear.
In the face of danger, the expression of fear and panic is of no use except for appearing incompetent, just like now, even if he is afraid and begging for mercy, it is impossible for the ancestor of this strange fish to let him go. Since there is no escape, you can only wait for it!
Although these two monsters are huge, they have no cultivation, they can only be regarded as low-level monsters, they don't understand human language, their minds are incomplete, and most of the things they do are out of bloodthirsty and brutal nature, and negotiating a deal with them is tantamount to playing the harp to a cow. This is also the reason why he has never taken out that piece of ground to condense the grease, in order to save his life, this kind of monster is irrational and benevolent, and most of the things they do are instinctive.
"呲~"
The ancestor of the strange fish hung in the air, its bright jaws trembling up and down rapidly, and a wet breath came out of its fishy mouth, and it didn't stop for the slightest, and it struck straight down.
At that moment, Babbling broke free from the strange man's arms, jumped onto his lone shoulder, and looked at the huge strange fish with anger on his face......
