Chapter 190: Retreat with one blow, pass the test immortal catch
Is the eight-legged octopus hidden in the lake really just a monster? The answer, of course, is no. It was raised in this lake by the Imperial Sword Sect, and as early as hundreds of years ago, it had already developed spiritual intelligence, broke away from the category of demon beasts, and became a veritable immortal beast.
It is impossible for the Imperial Sword Sect to use demon beasts to test. Demon beasts that have not turned on their spiritual wisdom only have savage nature, and once they attack, they must be extremely fierce. And the people who participated in the test are still some people who have not studied and cultivated immortal arts, they have no ability to protect themselves in front of demon beasts, and they are very prone to accidents. In that case, not only would it be difficult for the Imperial Sword Sect to explain to the outside world, but it would also lose carefully selected disciples with great potential.
Let the eight-legged octopus, a fairy beast with its stellar mind, launch some tentative attacks on these test participants, and that won't happen. After receiving instructions from the immortals of the Edgeworth Sect, the eight-legged octopus will only make some intimidating gestures to the people participating in the test, interfering with their actions, in order to test the best cooperation they can achieve with each other when they encounter danger.
Therefore, when Wang Yan, Li Yuncong and Su Mu rowed a small boat to the center of the lake, the eight-legged octopus made the action of snatching the oars from their hands with their tentacles, otherwise, it only needs to use a tentacle to whip the small wooden boat, which can make it lightly turn into a pile of fragments, where can Wang Yan and the three of them stay in the small wooden boat safely to discuss countermeasures to deal with the attack of the demon beast.
Wang Yan, Li Yuncong and Su Mu didn't know that this was the case. Especially Wang Yan, he has encountered a lot of demon beasts, and. Before obtaining the Nine Turns Heavenly Fire Alchemy Furnace, the old man with an illusory figure tested him, and all he wanted him to capture were genuine demon beasts. Therefore, even though they were testing the situation of demon beasts appearing in the lake, Wang Yan was still able to accept it.
As for Li Yuncong and Su Mu, although they have not really encountered demon beasts, the so-called newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, plus they are infected by Wang Yan's momentum. also showed a fearless look.
"What's going on? Why did the lake suddenly turn black? Now we can't see the monster in the lake. There is no way to tell where it will attack from. Wang Yan, think of a way. A black liquid came up from the depths of the lake, and the originally clear water was quickly stained black in just a few breaths. All the lakes as far as the eye can see turn pitch black. Su Mu, who has never had the experience of fighting demon beasts. Seeing this strange situation arise. I was at a loss for a while. Don't look at her more fiery personality, in this case, it's useless at all. Doesn't work.
"This is a life-saving skill of the eight-legged octopus, which seems to be called 'Black Mist Escape'. When it senses danger and knows it's hard to resist, it uses this skill to escape. It's just that we haven't started a real fight with it yet, and it's really puzzling that it uses this escape skill. Could it be that Wang Yan hit one of its tentacles with an oar just now, causing unimaginable damage to it, so it did this?" Li Yuncong saw that Wang Yan frowned, his eyes stared at the pitch-black lake in deep thought, and he had no time to answer Su Mu, so he quickly told Su Mu some of the knowledge about the eight-legged octopus that he remembered again, and made a judgment self-righteously.
"No! The beast is not as vulnerable as you think, and the part of the tentacle where I hit the eight-legged octopus with my oar did not cause a single scar, and it will definitely not flee from it.
Unless, there are other monsters in this lake that can pose a threat to the eight-legged octopus, and in that case, our situation will be even more dangerous. Because the monster beast that can make the eight-legged octopus scared will only be more powerful than it.
However, the chances of that happening are all too small. In my experience, this lake is just the right size for a monster beast to survive. If an alien monster tries to take over the lake, the eight-legged octopus will fight to the death to protect its territory.
Now, we don't see any signs of monsters fighting, which can only mean that the eight-legged octopus blackened the lake, definitely not to escape, but to deal with a special method taken by us. Wang Yan faced the situation that the lake water turned black, and while thinking about countermeasures, he still left some of his mind to pay attention to Li Yuncong and Su Mu, he was afraid that the eight-legged octopus would suddenly attack and cause harm to Li Yuncong and Su Mu.
When Su Mu asked, Wang Yan hadn't figured out a way to deal with it, so he didn't answer. However, what Li Yuncong said, although it was his own guessing idea, had an inducing effect on Su Mu. If Su Mu listened to Li Yuncong's words, both of them thought that the eight-legged octopus had fled, and they relaxed their vigilance in their minds, in case the eight-legged octopus suddenly attacked at this time, the damage suffered by the two of them would be incalculable. Therefore, Wang Yan refuted Li Yuncong's words in a timely manner, and said the conclusions he had drawn based on experience in a short period of time, so as to remind them that they must not have careless thoughts, and they must not relax their vigilance.
As soon as Wang Yan's words fell, the small wooden boat shook violently without warning, and Li Yuncong and Su Mu were caught off guard, unable to control their bodies, and sat on the small wooden boat. Wang Yan was different, the moment the small wooden boat began to shake, he intuitively sensed it, and his body reacted instinctively, exerting force under his feet, and jumped into the air. At the same time, he quickly scanned the wooden boat and the nearby lake, and saw the culprit that caused the wooden boat to shake - the tentacles of an eight-legged octopus hooked on the side of the boat.
Not only that, but the remaining seven tentacles of the eight-legged octopus all burst out of the water and swung towards the small wooden boat from all sides, threatening to sink the small wooden boat.
At this time, Li Yuncong and Su Mu had already calmed down, and the two of them clenched their fists together, hitting the tentacles of the eight-legged octopus hooked on the side of the boat. What they didn't expect was that such a blow of not great force caused the eight-legged octopus's tentacles to hook the side of the boat to release the side of the boat and retreat back into the lake at a very fast speed.
didn't have time to think about it, Li Yuncong and Su Mu faced the other seven tentacles of the eight-legged octopus, and each chose one of them and kicked it with their feet. For the remaining five tentacles, there was really nothing they could do.
Seeing this, Wang Yan understood that he had to resist the five tentacles independently. From the speed of the eight-legged octopus's tentacle attack, he knew that it was impossible to hit those five tentacles at the same time with his skill, so he once again used his only means of attacking multiple targets at the same time, and used the immortal power to condense five small fireballs and hit them at the five tentacles.
In the burst of fire from five small fireballs, the five tentacles of the eight-legged octopus retreated into the lake at the same time, and the last two tentacles also retreated into the lake after being kicked by Li Yuncong and Su Mu.
Successfully repelled the attack of the eight-legged octopus, Li Yuncong and Su Mubiao were extremely excited, but Wang Yan did not show any joy at all. Not only that, Wang Yan can now be said to be extremely puzzled, in his impression, no matter how weak the demon beast is, it is not so light that it can be repelled.
Seeing Wang Yan's appearance, Li Yuncong and Su Mu quickly sensed that something was wrong. After listening to Wang Yan's explanation, they were no longer excited, and continued to be vigilant with Wang Yan.
"Wang Yan, Li Yuncong, you see, there is an immortal imperial sword of the Imperial Sword Sect flying over there. After waiting vigilantly for a while, and not finding any signs of an attack from the eight-legged octopus, Su Mu inadvertently raised his head, and saw an immortal of the Imperial Sword Sect flying over from a distance.
"Meet the Immortal (Immortal Master)!" The speed of this Immortal of the Imperial Sword Sect was too fast, Wang Yan and Li Yuncong heard Su Mu's words, and as soon as they raised their heads, the Immortal who was flying with the Imperial Sword had already arrived in front of them, and the three of them hurriedly saluted.
"You're welcome. You've already passed the test of the fairy beast eight-legged octopus, and I'm here to pick you up. The flying immortal of Edgeworth said with a smile.
"Have we tested it?" Wang Yan, Li Yuncong and Su Mu were very surprised, and asked in unison.
"Yes, the fairy beast eight-legged octopus has just told us the results of your test of the guò it, so I will come and pick you up. Edgeworth's flying immortal said.
"Immortal Beast, what is it testing us, what the hell is going on, can the Immortal Master tell us in detail?" Wang Yan couldn't help but ask.
"Yes. The flying immortal looked at Wang Yan, Li Yuncong and Su Mu, and began to explain simply: "The eight-legged octopus is an immortal beast in captivity in my Imperial Sword Sect, and we use its characteristics of eight tentacles, fast speed, and agile movements, specifically to let it make disturbing moves in the middle of the lake.
It doesn't actually attack, it just uses its tentacles to take your oars and rudders, as long as you can keep one of the items from being taken away by it, and if you can effectively attack each of its eight tentacles at the same time, even if you pass its test. Now, you get the idea. “
"I see. Wang Yan had a feeling of sudden realization at this time.
"Alright, sit down. I'll take you back. After the immortal who flew with the sword finished speaking, with a wave of his hand, the small wooden boat was windless and automatic, following behind the immortal flying with the sword, carrying Wang Yan and the three of them towards the shore.
