The Dulun River, which runs through the city, has long since disappeared, and the dry riverbed is exposed and passes through the city, like a scar engraved on the city's face, adding a bit of despair to the already dilapidated and desolate city.

The waterless riverbed turned into a deep ditch, and with a bang, a broken wreck of a ferry was thrown out of the deep ditch, and the ferry weighing at least several tons was thrown into the air, already well above the ten-meter-deep riverbed. And before the ferry could fly to the highest point, several long tentacles chased out from the bottom of the riverbed, and the last one came first, and the volley rolled up the ferry. The ferry, which can accommodate dozens of people, is like a child's toy in front of the tentacles, and is thrown around in the air by the tentacles.

"Ah~~~" A scream resounded through the sky, followed by a muffled sound of tentacles hitting the ground, and as the ground shook, the screams stopped abruptly.

"Linda!"

One man's voice sounded grief-stricken, followed by another man's scolding, "Come back, send you to death, and leave your things behind."

In the midst of the scolding, Babu had already arrived at the river, and looked at the tentacles covered with suckers, hideous and weird, like the giant brachiopods of a deep-sea octopus, and the tentacles writhed wildly, sweeping everything around them with crushing force.

The tentacles were thick and long, but the Babu on the river bank had not yet entered its range, except for the occasional ground tremors that shook his stomach, so that he would not be physically harmed, and the Babu did not dare to continue to get closer, trying to gather all his vitality, and under the cover of the fog and the remaining guardrails on the river bank, he poked his head out and peeked into the battlefield in the river.

Four people, no, it should be said that it was once a battle of five people with a mass of tentacles.

One side is drilled out of the soil of the river, and there is still a part of it hidden in the soil, only dozens of long tentacles are exposed, these tentacles twist and beat violently, so that the riverbed is full of soil and rocks, but no matter how the tentacles move, how the soil splashes, the body is always deep under the soil and not exposed, and the depth is quite amazing.

On the other side, the tentacles are fighting against a group of humans. Three of them were covered by dark black robes, making it difficult to see the features of the people inside, while the other two were dressed in civilian clothes, a man and a woman.

It's also a lifetime and a death.

There was a puddle of rotten meat on the ground that could not be seen in human form, and there was a set of civilian clothes full of flesh and blood mixed in it, although it was too far away to see clearly, but it was smashed like this, it was definitely impossible to live. Not far away was another man in civilian clothes, carrying a large bag on his back, bulging with something inside, and he was letting out a desperate roar, wailing as he rushed towards the rotten flesh on the ground.

The one who scolded him was one of the other three black-robed people, the three of them were still a little away from the two people in civilian clothes, and they were attacked less by their tentacles, and they still had time to scold the men in civilian clothes, seeing that he didn't listen to his advice, the black-robed man who scolded him shouted angrily and said loudly: "Mike, Marven, stop him, don't let him continue to go crazy, and lose what he got when the time comes."

The other two black-robed men immediately dodged a few tentacles that smashed at him, rushed to the side of the man in civilian clothes, grabbed the man who was screaming wildly, and let one tentacle rub against his side and smash into the air, not following the footsteps of his companions.

However, the man in civilian clothes did not stop struggling, crying Linda's name, while crawling towards the meat sauce on the ground with his hands and feet, the two people next to him who were strong couldn't hold him, and even dragged the two people to stagger forward a few steps, almost hitting another waving tentacle.

"How?" As Babu was observing the situation, Monica's inquiring voice came from behind him, and when he turned around, he found that Monica had also carefully touched his side, clinging to him, poking his head out to peep, but as soon as he looked out, he gasped, "What's the situation?"

When the distracted Babu turned his gaze back to the battlefield, the situation had changed abruptly. The black-robed man who gave the order suddenly took action, rushed into the tentacle array in a few quick steps, and quickly approached the other three people who were entangled.

But he didn't help pull the three away, and raised his hand to cut the civilian clothes first

The man's backpack strap snatched the backpack and threw it to the two companions on the side, and then shouted something that could not be heard clearly, and the other two black-robed men immediately let go of the struggling man and fled in the direction away from the tentacles. The black runner who snatched the backpack did not leave immediately, but raised his hand again and took out his knife, stabbed into the vest of the man in civilian clothes, and then flew up and kicked the man in civilian clothes into the area with the densest tentacles.

As soon as Monica arrived, she saw such a fierce scene, and she couldn't help but let out an exclamation without psychological preparation, and when Babu turned around, she just saw the black-robed man pull out a short knife and kick the man in civilian clothes, and then follow the footsteps of his companion and flee in a direction far away.

The tentacles' previous attacks, I don't know if it was because of the location or other problems, the target has been focused around the men in civilian clothes, and the pressure on the three black-robed men is very small, however, at this time, the tentacles seem to have suddenly lost interest in the men in civilian clothes, and they no longer pay attention to the plainclothes men who spurted blood and fell to the ground before and after, dozens of tentacles circled in the air for a few times, and smashed down at the three black-robed men who were fleeing.

"Bang bang bang", the tentacles smashed on the ground one by one, raising up the earth and stones in the sky, and shaking the ground undulating. Once the monster's attack center was transferred, the pressure of the three black-robed people immediately increased sharply, and there were tentacles around them constantly whistling past them, and they could only rely on their flexible skills to repeatedly jump sideways between the gaps between the ups and downs of the tentacles, but fortunately, although they rolled and crawled from time to time, they still barely saved their lives.

As the black-robed man holding the backpack stepped on it, a piece of dirt that had just been slapped by the tentacles suddenly collapsed, and half of the black-robed man's leg sank in, and he couldn't retract during the run, and his legs were pinned to the ground.

"Mike." Hearing the screams of his companion, the other black-robed man who ran first subconsciously slowed down, glanced back, and when he turned around, he saw a thick tentacle wrapped around his companion, and the tip had already reached into his companion's mouth. The companion was still alive, but he couldn't scream anymore, his chin was forcibly squeezed open by the tentacles, and he was dislocated, and there were several abnormal bulges under his neck. At the same time, another tentacle was chasing closely from behind, and while he was slowing down, it had already caught up behind him, and as soon as he turned around, he saw the shadow of the tentacle raised high, which had already covered his body.

"Bang", at the moment of life and death, the black-robed man rolled on the spot, not becoming the second stall of meat sauce, and the black-robed man who gave the order before had already taken this opportunity to catch up, and kept bending down to copy, picking up the backpack that the victim companion had taken off, without looking at the two companions, and continued to flee frantically with his head down.

"Wait for me." The man in black, who was a step slower, saw that he was about to be overtaken, and immediately abandoned his dying companion and chased after him, but after running a few steps, the relatively gentle bottom of the river had already been completed, and the steep slope on the bank of the river stood in front of the two.

The steep slope of more than ten meters is just that, with the skills that the two of them just showed, it is not difficult to climb up, but the shaking ground complicates the originally simple things, not to mention, the death of the companion did not drag the tentacles at all, and a few tentacles still left the tattered and broken black-robed corpse aside, while the other tentacles locked the fleeing people and appeared behind them at a faster speed than them.

There is a front and a back, and it is smashed down at the same time.

In an instant, there were tentacle shadows everywhere, the sound of the wind whistling everywhere, the ground kept shaking violently, earth and rocks flew sideways, and the river seemed to be the end of the river for a while.

The two black-robed people were forced to find a gap, and at the same time fled to the side, but just after avoiding the tentacles smashed around, before they could stand firmly, they saw a tentacle that had already been outflanked in front of them.

Not vertically smashed, but horizontally rolled, the long tentacles enveloped all the surrounding space, so that the two had no way to escape, fortunately there was a depression on the steep slope of the riverbank next to them, although it was not big, but it could barely allow a person to dodge, so that the tentacles could cross the body, but ......

Before the black-robed man Marven could react, a huge force came from behind him, and he was kicked behind by the black-robed man who gave the order, stumbled forward a few steps, and hit the tentacle that rolled over, and the black-robed man who gave the order hid in the pit for the first time.

The pit is too small and shallow, and it can't accommodate two people at all, black robe

The person was barely curled up in it alone, only to feel a gust of wind on the surface of his body, and the oncoming tentacles rolled around his companion, rubbing his clothes against the ground, and listening to the screams of his companion higher and higher.

As soon as the tentacle passed, the black-robed man immediately jumped out, picked up the backpack in the dirt, and turned his head to climb the riverbed, but with a whistling sound in his ear, a shadow cannonball blasted over. The black-robed man flashed sideways, letting the black shadow crash into the dirt beside him, and glanced at it casually, it was the companion who was kicked by himself just now, who was run over by the tentacles, and most of the bones in his body were broken, although he was barely alive, he could only collapse on the ground and groan, and he couldn't support it.

There was only time to glance at it, and under the scrutiny of the tentacles, the black-robed man didn't even stop, jumping out of the pit and running, but unfortunately, he stopped after only taking two steps, because ......

His dying companion was smashed in front of him, and he passed by blindly, and just as he had avoided all the tentacles and could escape with just a few more steps, his leg was suddenly grabbed.

The companion didn't know where to get the strength, endured the sharp pain of broken bones all over his body, supported his body with the few intact bones left, and hugged his calves.

Except for himself, there was probably no one who could only report how tight his companion was, and Babu and Monica on the shore didn't know, they could only see the dying black-robed man holding his thigh, allowing him to even kick and beat him and refuse to let go, even if the black-robed man stabbed several times in a row, almost cutting off his companion's head, the corpse still tightly dragged his legs, until the black-robed man cut off the corpse's arm with the last knife, and then broke free from the shackles of the corpse.

However, when he straightened up and raised his head, all he saw were tentacles, dozens of thick tentacles surrounded him, almost forming him in a circle, waiting condescendingly, allowing him to fight with the corpses of his companions, and it was only when he straightened up that these tentacles tightened again, revealing an attacking posture.

The black-robed man hugged his backpack tightly and subconsciously slowly retreated, but every time he took a step back, the tentacles around him took a step forward, not leaving, not hurrying. The black-robed man was like a mouse being targeted by a cat, and there was no companion around him to help him get out of trouble, so he could only retreat step by step until his back was attached to the steep river bank, and there was no way to retreat.

All this, the two people on the shore saw it, but the two had no intention of helping. In fact, as soon as Monica arrived at the scene and saw the situation below, the two discussed whether to go to the rescue, but they didn't even need to think about it for the second second, and the two shook their heads at the same time.

"If he just snatched the backpack and left the mad man to fend for himself, then I would have complimented him on a good job. But in the end, it was different to stab and kick him, which shows that he was afraid that the other party would not die completely, and it was likely that he did not intend to let the other party live from the beginning." After shaking his head, Babu sneered and commented, "I don't want to live with this kind of person, who knows what he will do behind our backs."

"It's okay to use your companion to get out of trouble, but it's really ...... to send your companion to death with your own hands Hey, hehe, retribution came so quickly, it can be regarded as self-defeating." The changes below rose and fell very quickly, and before the two finished speaking, the black-robed man was already approached a dead end, Monica bumped her arm against Babu, and asked softly, "Is there something you noticed?"

"Noticed." Babu looked at the retreating men and monsters below, and replied in a low voice, "The backpack."

"I don't know what important things are in it, so that a few people can't even care about their lives." Monica nodded, "I think it's just an ordinary backpack in the world, and it's not the style of the edge."

"It's not just a few lives that have been lost." Babu said softly, "Even that monster seems to be the main target of the person with the backpack."

"Looks like there's something in there that draws both sides in." Monica stared at Babu, "Can you sense it?"

"Hey, energy sensing isn't a panacea." Babu said this, but he couldn't hide the excitement and curiosity in his eyes, licked his lips and asked, "Why don't we, huh?"

"I'm curious, too." Monica's eyes lit up, and after a moment's hesitation, she nodded vigorously, "At least find a way to see inside...... What's going on?"

Just when the two were tormented by curiosity

, the confrontation below finally came to a conclusion, several tentacles wrapped around the black-robed man at the same time, the tighter and tighter the wrapping, the rough surface rubbed against the black-robed man's body, making him like a grain thrown into a grinding disc, his body was ground into minced flesh little by little. But at the last moment of being entangled, the black-robed man used all his strength to throw the backpack in his arms towards the riverbank, and the backpack flew over a distance of dozens of meters with the last physical strength of the black-robed man, and fell far away on the riverbank.

It just fell into Monica and Babu's field of vision.

The two looked at their backpacks, which were not far away, and then at each other, forgetting to breathe for a while.
