Chapter 1356 - 1356 1342 Giant Octopus

Chapter 1356: Chapter 1342: Giant Octopus Chapter 1356: Chapter 1342: Giant Octopus Ye Chen shook his head, genuinely puzzled about what was going on in her mind. At such a critical time, she was still lost in her wild thoughts, overwhelmed by jealousy. If he had actually gotten close to someone else before this, she would probably be preparing for murder.

The situation had reached its most dangerous point. Meng Xiuluo was out of options, but perhaps the arrival of the monster would create an opportunity for them. She had to find a way to seize it, maybe turning the tables.

Xiang Yi ran up to her, apparently aware of Meng Xiuluo’s intentions, but still very worried, she said, “Master, do you really plan to lure the monster here?” It could backfire, attracting even more danger to themselves.

“Do we have any other choice? That ship is approaching fast, and who knows how many more are behind it. It’s already hard for us to shake them off. Maybe the monster’s arrival will create an opportunity for us,” said Meng Xiuluo.

Xiang Yi had no comeback. In fact, Meng Xiuluo’s personality was somewhat like Longhun, who also enjoyed adventure and returning from the brink. Perhaps that was true for all who came from Slaughter Island.

“No need to think further; we’re cornered. If we take the risk, we might find a way out. Look, that ship is coming, while we haven’t escaped this one yet. What will we do then?” She had thought it through deeply and made her decision without hesitation.

Xiang Yi nodded and said, “Alright then, let’s see who’s scared.”

Ye Chen said, “Girl, don’t jump so high or you might knock out your front teeth. A beauty without front teeth would have quite the character, huh?”

“Better to knock out your teeth,” retorted Guo Yuyun.

With fog swirling around, Ling Li was excited and shouted, “Kid, you’re done for. You think you can still squirt ink, but where will you run now?”

Ye Chen guessed that the fellow ahead didn’t know about the monster approaching and said with a smile, “The outcome is not yet decided.”

Just then, Ye Chen felt the magic power inside his body becoming unstable and urgently called out, “Girl, quickly give me a needle.”

Guo Yuyun didn’t understand what Ye Chen meant.

“Hurry, I can feel the magic power surging inside.”

“You’re kidding, right?”

“I’m not joking.” Ye Chen had been fighting for half a day, and the qi inside him was noticeably unstable. Now, he needed to use the Eight Extraordinary Meridians to control the magic power inside him, and acupuncture was the best method.

“I knew you were courting death.”

“Well, aren’t you hurrying up?” Ye Chen was becoming anxious.

“Where should I stick it?”

“Temple, Gate of Heaven…” Ye Chen listed a bunch of acupoints and asked, “Got it? Don’t mess up, or I’ll really go rabid.”

Guo Yuyun chuckled coldly, “I see you’re not worried about really becoming a mad dog.”

“Hurry up, I feel the magic power is about to burst out.”

Guo Yuyun quickly did as he asked and took out the Silver Needle. At this time, Ye Chen also needed to release the energy from his ring to confront the five masters ahead.

“You’ve done this before, right?”

“I’ve needled quite a few crazed monsters; didn’t you know?”

“Then be careful.” But before he could finish his sentence, Ye Chen yelped, “You’ve hit my dragon’s tailbone.”

“Really? No wonder it wouldn’t go in.”

“You even know it won’t go through bone!”

“No worries, I’ll try again. I can definitely get it right,” assured Guo Yuyun.

“You’re really treating me like a monster.”

“You are a monster, so frightening.”

“Are you retaliating against me?”

“How did you know?”

“Stop joking around.”

“Do you know how I forced the energy out of those uncontrollable Crystal Beasts? It wasn’t because I hit the right spot, but rather the pain forced their potential out of them.”

“You crazy woman, I knew you were jealous and wanted to get back at me.” Before he finished speaking, there was another cry of pain, “It feels like you’ve hit my lung.”

“Do you feel like you’re deflating?”

“Give it up; I’ll do it myself. If they don’t drive me mad, you’ll have me needle-mad by the time we’re through.”

Ling Li muttered to himself, “That kid won’t last much longer, hurry up and give it your all.” Another ship was closing in, just a few yards away. He called out, “Don’t get too close, attack them from one side, stab them from the other.”

Ma Jun ran over, saying, “This is bad, there seems to be a monster.”

Ling Li turned and asked, “What?”

The tentacles of several octopuses had already emerged from underwater, directly attacking them.

Meng Xiuluo utilized the Winged Dragon to first attack the Giant Octopus underwater, stirring its anger until it relentlessly pursued the Winged Dragon. Meanwhile, the Winged Dragon headed straight for Ling Li and their ship, with the Giant Octopus following suit.

However, it wasn’t a surefire plan; that Giant Octopus attacked indiscriminately, with its eight tentacles lashing out everywhere.

Of course, the closer a ship was to the Giant Octopus, the more damage it took—naturally, it was Ling Li’s vessel.

Their ship was rocking.

Someone called out, “Our ship is under attack from the Giant Octopus!”

A furious Ling Li shouted, “Dammit, stop yelling; I already see the Giant Octopus.” She definitely thought it was that woman’s doing.

“We need to find a way to deal with the octopus, otherwise, our ship is likely to be torn apart by the Giant Octopus.”

“You little runt, you’re in luck,” Ling Li quickly ordered her men to help fend off the octopus.

Ye Chen finally heaved a sigh of relief and turning back, said, “Girl, have you poked enough? I’m like a porcupine here.”

“One needle left,” Guo Yuyun said.

With a bang, a ship rammed in from the side, creating a massive hole in their vessel, nearly capsizing it completely.

Ye Chen, now with his hands free, immediately unleashed several bolts of lightning, which streaked towards the attacking ship.

The Giant Octopus began to rage, attacking wildly like a mad creature.

However, Meng Xiuluo knew they had to seize this rare opportunity to break free or else, once they dealt with the Giant Octopus and it then clung onto them, it would be too late. Their ship was already filled with several holes, barely holding up like an old man.

Ye Chen called out, “Flounder, we need to make a swift escape.”

“Call me ‘Flounder’ one more time and see if I don’t kick you into the sea.”

“Then you shouldn’t call me ‘cheap goods,'” Ye Chen retorted.

By now they had shaken off Ling Li’s ship; the second vessel that approached had less firepower than Ling Li’s.

After all, a few experts were on board Ling Li’s ship. Ye Chen used the Silver Needle to stabilize the Magic Power within his body, ready to unleash havoc.

Meng Xiuluo saw her chance and said, “Xiang Yi, quickly, make them charge into the fog.”

Xiang Yi understood Meng Xiuluo’s intention.

Although Ling Li and her crew were entangled with the Giant Octopus, they were still being targeted by another ship. The most critical thing now was how to take care of that ship.

Meng Xiuluo asked his subordinate, “How many Winged Dragons do we still have, and water beasts?”

The subordinate replied, “Didn’t the leader tell us to keep some? There are probably about a hundred left.”

Meng Xiuluo shook her head. Indeed, she had asked some people to keep a small group at the ready for unexpected needs, and clearly, that time had come. “Alright, get ready for my command to release these creatures,” she said. They had to use these divine beasts to cover their retreat. Without releasing these creatures, it would be tough to shake off the persistent ship behind them. Although they had clearly escaped the most destructive one, they were far from safe. She believed Ling Li would quickly defeat the Giant Octopus, and if they couldn’t shake off the current pursuer, once Ling Li was free to join the chase, they would stand no chance.

“Don’t worry, I’m on it now.”

Meng Xiuluo nodded, sending the subordinate off, then rushed over to Ye Chen and said, “Give them a wailing scare.”

“I think you jumping over there would be scary enough,” the girl replied, speaking as if standing up didn’t bother her, as though he had unlimited strength. At this point, he could fall asleep standing up. He had woken up during the third watch, and now the day had already dawned, just not very visibly in this sea region.

Meng Xiuluo shouted, “Can you please take this seriously?” and then ran to the other side, ordering them to send over the prepared explosives.

Suddenly, Meng Xiuluo and her crew’s frenzied attack sparked like chicken blood had been injected into them. The lightning Ye Chen released bolted in clusters towards the enemy, along with the Fireballs. Ling Li’s subordinates, still somewhat afraid of death, were forced to keep a distance for safety.

Seizing the moment, Meng Xiuluo ordered her men to release Winged Dragons or monsters to cover their retreat, letting those creatures hold their pursuers back as the ship hurried into the depths of the Dark Sea Territory.

Of course, those guys would also release Winged Dragons, but they were half a step too late. Ye Chen remained at the back, not letting any of those creatures get close.

The battle was fierce; the monsters seemed to have become afraid of death, not daring to come closer if not in a group.

Finally, they broke free and surged into the Dark Sea Territory, entering a no man’s land.

Inside, it was pitch-black, and up ahead, dark clouds gathered again, lightning flashed, and thunder roared—somewhat terrifying, but no one dared to retreat because they knew Ling Li’s people were right behind them, still in pursuit.

“It just dawned, how come the clouds have gathered again?” Ye Chen looked ahead, very frightened, feeling an after-the-fact dread as if some devil was heading their way.

“I need to go below for cover,” Ye Chen figured a heavy rain was coming. He could feel a chill wind that made one shiver involuntarily.

Meng Xiuluo glanced back, making sure they had not been followed, but she knew the danger had not been completely evaded. She called, “We’re heading into the storm.”

“Ah, aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning?” Ye Chen asked.
