On the plain lake, in addition to the fierce fighting in full swing on the shore of the lake, the center of the lake is the most fierce battlefield.

Like the mountain snapping turtles before it, this lake is also home to a corresponding lord-level creature, a giant octopus that is no less in size than a snapping turtle.

God knows how the octopus survives in this inland freshwater lake, but over the course of hours of fighting, this strange creature with 3 hearts and 9 brains is a perfect manifestation of its strength.

The good news is that it doesn't have the extreme defenses and lake-wide attacks of the snapping turtle, and the bad news is that it has near-indestructible self-healing abilities and superior intelligence.

This makes it not like a snapping turtle, which can use stratagery to kill it directly from its weakness, but fortunately, Xu Yue is not alone now, he has a whole legion.

At this time, the waves in the center of the lake were rolling, and the head of a huge round octopus poked out of the lake, and there were eight thick wrists and feet tens of meters around it, and the wrists and feet rose into the sky like eight giant pythons, constantly whipping and smashing in mid-air.

The heavy force set off a violent wind pressure, and the strength of the great octopus could be seen from the howling hurricane and the whimpering roar of the air currents due to the overwhelming weight.

And in the airspace shrouded by the eight wrists and feet that were constantly whipping, Xu Yue and the seven male ants were walking through it, dodging the brachiopods and smashing hard, and at the same time accumulating strength to counterattack.

The hurricane roared in his ears, a huge shadow came towards him, the long halberd in Xu Yue's hand waved horizontally, and the thick halberd wrapped around the flames met the octopus wrists and feet that were swung heavily, and there was a loud noise in the air, and the flesh and blood on the wrists and feet bloomed widely, and blue blood splattered wantonly.

With just one blow, there was an extra hideous wound several meters wide on the wrist and foot, as if it had been bitten by a wild beast, and the section was uneven, although the halberd failed to completely break the entire wrist and foot, but nearly half of the area was reduced to a cavity.

Although the wrist and foot side were seriously injured, it was not easy to deal with the other side of the bombardment, the violent reaction force poured into the body through the halberd, and Xu Yue was directly pumped away under this blow, which was a force that 50 points of extreme attributes could not easily oppose.

After flying uncontrollably upside down for more than ten meters, the metal wings behind him flapped again and again, and then he managed to regain his balance in the air, blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and he glanced at less than 50% of his health, Xu Yue pulled over the yellow gourd hanging on his waist, and drank the sweet ant honey contained inside.

The blow just now knocked out nearly 8% of his blood volume, and every time he collided with his wrists and feet, there would be a strange force that penetrated the viscera, and it was impossible to prevent it, this was just one, if the eight wrists and feet attacked at the same time, there was no need to fight at all.

Feeling the biting pain in his chest quickly dissipating, Xu Yue turned the halberd in his hand into a magic knife, and his gaze swept over the seven wrists and feet that were entangled with different male ants around him, and finally landed on the wrists and feet that had been severely injured by his blow just now.

In just a few breaths, the gushing blood of the other party has completely stopped, and the flesh and blood are growing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and now the huge wound cavity has been filled by more than half, and this recovery efficiency is even far more than the Wolverine clone encountered in the X-Men world before: X-24.

The wings behind him shook hard, the hurricane swept along with the flames, and Xu Yue turned into a beam of fire under the impetus of the two forces, and the magic knife in his hand pointed directly at the huge wrists and feet that looked a little stiff due to the healing of flesh and blood in front of him.

Before the line of fire approached, the scorching heat attracted the attention of the brachiopods in advance, and it could be regarded as an independent life form with a subbrain, and it did not need the order of the master brain located in the head of the octopus, and the brachiopods had been aimed at the direction of the line of fire and smashed down.

The two approached at an extremely fast speed, and when they were about to collide, the line of fire deftly passed through the gap between the wounds of the wrists and feet that had not yet fully healed, and the two sides staggered, and a bend of demonic purple sword light flashed in the air.

The sword light dissipated, and the head of the octopus in the middle of the lake let out a roar of rage, and one of its wrists and feet slowly cracked from the middle, revealing a smooth mirror-like section and the convulsive and wriggling flesh inside, and the broken stump smashed down the lake, causing a large splash, and at this time, the wrist and foot section began to spew out a huge amount of blue blood like a fountain.

"Damned old people, ants, you will perish forever under the malice of the gods."

Sound waves that seemed to be physical echoed over the entire lake, and a vicious gaze was fixed on the line of fire speeding through the air.

The line of fire stopped, Xu Yue revealed his body in the lingering flames around him, and noticed the malice coming from the surface of the lake, he lowered his eyes and looked down, his eyes were full of murderous intent, this big octopus had a very thick skin membrane, and there was a sense of blocking when the blade cut through the thick cowhide.

But under the sharpness of the magic knife thousand blades blackjack, it can still be successfully cut off wrists and feet, but it takes a little more effort, to deal with this kind of giant creature that can heal itself quickly, the cutting of the magic knife thousand blades is more practical than the violence of Fang Tian's painting halberd.

If he was alone, even with the blessing of the corps, he would never be the opponent of this big octopus, but now with the help of seven male ants, as long as it takes some time, he can always cut off the opponent's eight wrists and feet.

Shaking his right arm, which was a little numb, Xu Yue just wanted to continue attacking, and the big octopus below had taken the lead in going crazy, although the severed wrists and feet could soon grow back, but its attack power was indeed reduced by one-eighth in a short period of time, and this bad tendency made it really feel a deadly threat.

In the roaring wind pressure, the remaining seven intact brachiopods gave up the male ants that were still entangled, and whistled towards Xu Yue from all directions.

The huge shadow cast by the wrists and feet and the subtle stinging pain of the beast's intuition instantly spread throughout his body, sweeping over the seven terrifying pillars of flesh around him, Xu Yue's face changed, and he had no intention of fighting with it at all.

The wings on his back quickly closed into a streamlined metal round shuttle, and a large amount of golden-red flames erupted from the soles of his feet, and before his wrists and feet could close, he turned into a beam of fire and soared into the sky.

"Wow!!"

The air resounded with the high-pitched cry of a phoenix bird, and in the encirclement formed by seven giant pillars of flesh, a golden red flame bird flew high quickly, and when it was about to completely break out of the siege, a wrist and foot accelerated violently, and slammed at the tail end of the flame bird.

The two collided, a piercing metal knocking sound sounded, and the external flame bird was directly smashed into a little fire and scattered, and the internal metal shuttle was also drawn to the tail, rolling and flying under the action of the huge force, although the posture was a little embarrassed, he still successfully broke away from the joint force of these octopus brachiopods and feet.

In the sky, the tumbling metal shuttle unfolded, and the wide wings that flapped quickly allowed Xu Yue to successfully maintain his balance after continuing to roll for several laps, shaking his drowsy head, and he lowered his eyes to look down.

At the moment when he was pulled away by the combined force of his wrist and foot, the rest of the male ants on the battlefield also reacted quickly, and they fiercely pounced on the corresponding wrist and foot, and successfully dragged it firmly with a deadly style.

The ants were on the verge of suffering a blow to their incompetence, which was an absolute disgrace for the males, and now the anger filled their hearts made their fighting style a little radical before they knew it.

"General, are you seriously injured?"

"Nothing."

A terrifying voice of concern sounded in his mind, Xu Yue shook his head lightly, swallowed the sweetness that surged in his throat, he looked at the male ant colony below who had begun to take the initiative to hug his wrists and feet and attack wildly, and continued:

"Torture, tell the rest of the male ants that they don't have to fight hard, just help me contain these wrists and feet, and leave the rest to me."

"Yes!"

The transmission in his brain disappeared, Xu Yue raised his hand to wipe away the dark blood stains on the corner of his mouth, and the Xiaoyun longbow appeared in his hand, looking at the wrists and feet below with cold killing intent.

"Whew!"

A subtle whistling spread in the sky, and the thick brachiopods in mid-air had firmly bound a careless male ant, and just as he was about to pull it completely into the lake, a beam of golden light quietly fell from the sky, hitting the middle of the brachiopod with precision, and then bursting.

The brilliant golden red flame suddenly exploded on the wrist and foot, and the flame dissipated, leaving a charred irregular pit in place, and near the pit, the boiling pure yang flame was spreading along the flesh and blood, and the tough skin membrane sizzled under the terrifying heat, and the golden oil continued to ooze out and evaporate rapidly.

The intense pain spread from the burning site, and the entire brachiopod began to spasm and convulse uncontrollably, and the curled ends of the brachiopod also released its strength, allowing the bound male ant to successfully escape from the restraint.

Unable to take care of the escaped male, the parabrain hidden inside the brachiopods was screaming wildly, and now it just wanted to quickly retract into the lake and use the lake water to extinguish the damning flames like appendages.

But just when it began to retract, another beam of fire rushed down from the side, the two intertwined, and the sword flashed, just like a few minutes ago.

In the furious roar of the big octopus, its other wrist foot once again ushered in the tragic end of being cut in two.

"Ant Clan, you are hunting the heirs of the sea god, and when the ocean floods the land, you ants will fall into eternal silence!"

Not caring about the threat below, Xu Yue learned a lesson this time, and after taking the opportunity to cut off his wrists and feet, he quickly raised his figure, not giving this lake lord a chance to fight back.

This kind of offensive thinking is the essence of assassination that hits a single blow and escapes thousands of miles, and also gives full play to the strong mobility of the wings behind it.

"The smell of charcoal-grilled octopus whiskers, this guy is quite fragrant."

Quietly suspended in the air, sniffing the rich fragrance left on his body, the corners of Xu Yue's lips lifted slightly, and the longbow in his hand was aimed at the bottom and opened again.

At this point, this big octopus is basically doomed, it is nothing more than a matter of time, although the first wrist and foot that was cut off not long ago has recovered most of it at this time, but under the cooperation of Xu Yue and the seven male ants, no matter how fast the growth rate is, it can't match the instantaneous destruction, this exaggerated self-healing ability can't save it, it will only make the octopus experience more pain, and it can't change the final outcome at all.

More than an hour later, the battle of the lake has come to an end, the lake and the shore are covered with countless corpses of aquatic creatures, the entire lake has been filled in half by falling rocks and various debris, as for the lord-level octopus in the lake, after being cut off by Xu Yue one after another nearly twenty wrists and feet, its self-healing ability has weakened to the point where it cannot take effect.

Fearing death made it afraid to continue fighting, and twenty minutes ago it hid at the bottom of the lake with its three remaining wrists and feet like a shrunken turtle, but this was only a cover-up, and it could not escape death when the lake was besieged by ant colonies.

On the blood-soaked lake, Xu Yue and Xuan Jun were quietly suspended in mid-air, while the other male ants dispersed into various soldier ant phalanxes, directing the soldiers to strangle the remaining water creatures, and continue to drain and fill the lake.

"General, it will take about an hour and a half to complete the transfer of the entire lake, and then the octopus hidden at the bottom of the lake will not have any chance of survival."

"Hmm."

Looking at the progress of the soldiers below, Xu Yue nodded lightly, and then continued:

"Can that octopus be caught alive?"

"Yes, there is a very paralyzing toxin in the legion, as long as it is injected in large quantities, it will keep this big octopus in a state of weakness, but with the opponent's self-healing ability, this state should not last long."

Listening to Xuan Jun's words, Xu Yue waved his hand indifferently and said:

"It's enough to be paralyzed for a while, and when the lake is cleaned up, just cut off all the carpand and feet of the octopus, without brachiopods, it is a piece of fat that has no power to fight back, and after being paralyzed, drag it back to the ant's nest to raise."

"In order to produce a large number of soldier ants in five days, our queen is in dire need of a batch of fresh flesh and blood of sufficient quality, and the strong self-healing power of this lord-grade octopus is just enough to make it a good ingredient."

Looking at the more than 20 giant wrists and feet that had been salvaged one after another on the shore, Xuan Jun on his side nodded approvingly.

"It's really good ingredients, and Her Majesty will definitely like this gift."

When the words fell, Xu Yue just wanted to continue to say something, but his movements were abrupt, he quickly raised his head and looked upward, only to see an extremely obvious white line in the distance crossing the sky, and his eyes narrowed, and that white line was the large shuttle that had picked up their group of trialists before.

"Xuanjun, I'll leave the lake side to you, and I'll be back in an hour and a half."

After saying that, without waiting for Xuan Jun to reply, he flapped his wings and flew quickly towards the edge of the lakeshore.

"Torture, set off with me with 10,000 soldiers and ants!"

"Yes, General!"

A moment later, the gluttonous food that had just eaten a full meal jumped out of the ant tide, and Xu Yue led a phalanx of soldiers and ants to rush out into the distance.

…………

Over the mysterious island, inside a large shuttle.

The driver's octopus head is looking down through the porthole, and from above, the entire mysterious island looks like an emerald jewel set in the turquoise ocean, which is particularly moving.

But now there are a few more obvious black spots on the gem, and where the black spots pass, the emerald green of the gem is also decreasing, and at the other end, the yellow spots have begun to quietly spread.

After seeing the scene below, the octopus raised his eyebrows in surprise, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Why is the group hunting advanced, if I'm not mistaken, it's only the fourth day, right?"

"Tsk, no matter what the reason, these little dwarfs have to stand it, hahaha......"

Schadenfreude laughed a few times, and the octopus head seemed to think of something again, and the smile on his face suddenly retracted.

"Wait, the difficulty is suddenly rising, these little dwarfs won't all die, uh, it shouldn't be ......"

Thinking of a terrible possibility, his face immediately became a little gloomy.

"Hiss~"

"No, next airdrop, I'll throw some good things down, so as not to implicate me when I get it."

After that, after feeling that the position he was in was about the same, he aimed at the red button at hand and smashed it down, and there was a muffled sound at the bottom of the shuttle, and a missile-shaped metal pod broke away from the hull of the ship and smashed towards the mysterious island like a meteorite.

After staring at the airdrop gradually disappearing from sight, and making sure that its landing point did not deviate from the island, the octopus head in the cockpit deflected its gaze and unconsciously landed on a blue disk in the center of the island.

Overlooking the white temple in the middle of the lake, the octopus's gaze was a little complicated, and after several transformations, his emotions finally stopped at a faint disdain.

"Oh, gods......"

……………

Below, when the shuttle appeared over the mysterious island, a pair of greedy eyes had emerged from all over the island, locking on the shuttle.

It wasn't until a 'meteorite' fell from the bottom of the shuttle that the emotions contained in these eyes finally reached the peak, and one after another figures rushed out of the hiding place, quickly approaching the direction where the meteorite landed.

"MD, the airdrop is finally here, this time you must grab it, I almost vomit when I eat bird eggs every day."

"There must be water in the airdrop, this shitty place, most of the waters have that bullshit mystery factor, I'm fed up with collecting dew."

"Hurry up, this wave of airdrops must be mine!"
