Chapter 1145: Chapter 518: Origin Land_2

[Dark Vortex: A rare natural phenomenon in the Real World that is distributed across the world, where each vortex connects to another vortex miles away. Through these vortexes, one can cross space and instantly reach a new area.]

"Oh?"

Mu You was pleased. Isn’t this just a Teleportation Array? Moreover, it’s naturally formed, doesn’t require energy, and one can travel to another area at any time!

Mu You immediately tried to maneuver his character through the vortex.

[You accelerate down, heading straight for the Dark Vortex.]

[Just as you’re about to approach the vortex, a familiar low humming sound suddenly comes from behind you, filled with anger.]

[A huge eye suddenly opens not far from you, and through the undersea light, you can vaguely make out the silhouette of a gigantic octopus...]

[The smaller octopuses that have been trailing you all along shake with fear due to the humming and hurriedly flee from your side.]

[When you look again, a thick octopus tentacle has already cut through the water, speeding towards you.]

[You are instantly crushed by the octopus tentacle.]

[You have died...]

...

"..."

Mu You was speechless. This giant octopus hadn’t shown up earlier or later but just as he was crossing the wormhole, to make its presence felt.

Could this creature be guarding the Teleportation Array here?

Mu You frowned. Regardless, the fact that he was attacked proved that the Octopus King’s skin was no longer useful, and there was no escaping now; he was definitely going to die here.

But even if he had to die, he wanted it to be worthwhile.

Mu You quickly pressed his watch to rewind time.

[Time flows, rewinding to ten seconds earlier.]

[Seeing the octopus’s figure nearby, you decide to summon the Arm of Wind Kirin, aiming at the approaching octopus tentacle.]

[Soon, the octopus tentacle swoops down again. Activate Wind Burial Cannon immediately?]

[You activate the Wind Burial Cannon, the energy in your body is instantly drained, and numerous fine Wind Blades appear on the seabed, forming a bright orb of light.]

[The intensely compressed wind energy cuts through everything in its path, forcefully repelling the incoming octopus tentacle, tearing it apart in the Wind Blades.]

[Amid a deafening roar, you can vaguely see a segment of the octopus tentacle, several meters long, floating past you. Collect it?]

Mu You’s eyes lit up. He was just thinking about using the Wind Burial Cannon since he was going to die anyway, but now there was an unexpected gain!

Mu You hastily clicked ’collect’.

[You have collected ’Broken Octopus Tentacle’.]

At the moment the prompt appeared, around Mu You, an orange octopus tentacle over ten meters long with suction cups all over appeared in the pet store, its massive size almost filling up the living room and incidentally crushing several tables and counters into pieces.

Two split selves busy with their things hear the noise and look up in surprise.

Seeing the still squirming Octopus Amputee on the floor, Watchman looks at Mu You oddly, "Boss, are we having takoyaki tonight?"

Mu You gave a wry smile, first looking down at his game.

[You’ve been squashed into a pulp by the enraged octopus.]

[You have died!]

[Your soul is drawn back under the Green Lamp by the Soul-inducing Lamp.]

[You resurrect under the Soul-inducing Lamp, and cracks appear on the Resurrection Stone in your hand...]

No surprises there, his character in the game had already died.

Being directly robbed of a chunk of meat, Mu You reckoned the giant octopus surely harbored deep hatred towards him now, and it’d be better not to provoke it for a while.

Mu You shook his head, closed the game, put away his phone, came to the center of the living room next to the octopus tentacle, opened the lock core backpack entrance, and first sent this space-taking big guy into the backpack space.

[A Broken Octopus Tentacle, an excellent ingredient for cuisine, you could perhaps throw a barbecue party with it.]

[However, you better be careful, as those who eat it will carry the scent of this octopus tentacle for a short duration. During this period, it’s best for you not to wander near any octopus, as its main body might follow the scent to seek revenge on you.]

This was the information about the octopus tentacle fed back by the Omniscient Crystal.

Mu You, somewhat headache-ridden after reading, had hoped that the flesh of such a powerful creature might have some special uses, such as being usable as a weapon, crafted into precious materials, or enhancing attributes upon consumption. In the worst case, providing some Divinity would be good too.

However, it turned out to have no special effects at all, just a piece of normal food material, and those who ate it would even be remembered and sought out for revenge by the octopus. What use was that?

Mu You didn’t know what to do with it for the moment, so he just stored it in the space.

Thankfully, since it could be extracted from the game, it meant it was already lifeless, and there was no worry of it growing into a complete octopus again.

Returning to the pet store, Mu You didn’t rush back into the game but went to check on the progress of his two split-selves.

On the Watchman’s side, after spending money on online shopping, he finally remembered to focus on the game progression, now seemingly admiring his old abode ’Watchman’s Cottage’, also bought a bunch of gifts at the Old Cat Store, claiming to visit an old lady at Foggy Mountain soon, totally dismissive of combat and leveling up...
