Chapter 481: Chapter 288: Brushing past the Octopus King_1

Given the two tasks, Mu You would definitely choose the one given by the Old Elf. Because if he chose the latter, he would have to return the remains to the Elf Clan to receive the reward, which would surely result in him not getting the Little Sprite. The Elf Clan would not possibly allow him to take away an elder’s remains, and instead, it may lead to him failing to explain the issue about the Knowledge Ancient Tree clearly.

While Mu You was pondering, suddenly he heard a deep and distant sound above him, like the moaning of a whale from the deep sea.

Mu You had no reaction, but he noticed that the female elf opposite him changed her face as soon as she heard this sound.

"What’s wrong?"

"Not good, the Octopus King seems to be going into a deep sleep in advance!"

"Deep sleep?" Mu You was puzzled.

"The Octopus King’s sleep is divided into shallow sleep and deep sleep. During shallow sleep, the consciousness of the Octopus King is not fully dream-bound, and his true form doesn’t appear here. I can only regain my consciousness during this period. During a deep sleep, the Octopus King will descend, and forcibly take over everyone’s consciousness."

After speaking, the elf wrinkled her brows with a puzzled look: "Usually, it enters deep sleep from the afternoon to the evening, why is it so early today?"

It suddenly occurred to Mu You, could it be that his few instances of going offline while inside the Octopus King earlier had alerted the slumbering Octopus King? Was this creature that sensitive?

"If you can really leave at any time, leave immediately, otherwise, once the Octopus King comes, then..."

"Then what?"

The elf suddenly stopped speaking, Mu You looked up and found that her pupils had disappeared, her eyes had turned pure white, and that eerie smile had once again surfaced on her face.

"Intruder, confirmed...Capture!"

After the elf clearly uttered these words, she suddenly pounced at Mu You.

This time, Mu You chose to fight back because the elf now surely had no self-consciousness.

However, the strength of this female elf was much greater than he had imagined, and with their collision, it was Mu You who was sent flying.

"Boom!"

Mu You was directly sent smashing through the door, tumbling onto the corridor outside the room.

When he looked up, apart from the elf in front of him, shadows began to appear one by one on the corridors on both sides. There were elves, humans, octopuses, all with white-eyed stares. Holding the most suitable tools in their hands, their weapon, they all uttered the same words: Intruder, capture!

"Half an hour huh..."

Mu You had a headache, the time he had agreed upon with Lin Xue was a tad too long. If the time flow rate between the two worlds was equal, that half-hour would still take a long time to come. Until then, he would be a target for all the creatures here...

Just then, Mu You suddenly felt an extra power of secret technique in the depths of his mind. Two crystals became three, and the extra one was Lin Xue’s soul crystal.

Mu You immediately felt at ease.

It seemed that after the battle started here, some signs would have certainly appeared on his physical body on Earth. Lin Xue was smart; under the uncertainty of what had happened on Mu You’s side, she deliberately used the Reaper’s Pact to transfer energy and confirm whether if he needed to end sleeping in advance.

If Mu You accepted the energy of Lin Xue’s crystal, it meant he was indeed in battle and needed to end sleeping in advance, and if he didn’t, it meant that he can continue to stay.

At this time, people’s shadows around him were rushing towards him swiftly, so Mu You decisively accepted the energy, got up, and run.

After shaking off the female elf and running for a while, Mu You found a countless number of people in pursuit, they seemed to be able to find his position no matter how he ran.

Moreover, although he was going in the direction of the exit, he couldn’t see the exit at all.

Mu You now understood this place’s mechanism, it seemed that the paths within the castle were not constant, it is impossible for him to escape normally.

"Intruder, capture!"

At this time, a large number of Octopus Soldiers had already reached his side, each one holding forks and attacking him.

Mu You’s finger flicked, releasing invisible Wind Blades one after another. The scene immediately turned bloody, with countless Broken Octopus Tentacles flying around.

Mu You realized that killing octopuses here would yield neither experience nor life. Moreover, deceased octopuses would resurrect on the spot soon, though their size would be a tad smaller and their condition would be much weaker.

Killing them all was impossible, and seeing more and more pursuers gather, Mu You released the Dark World, then switched to Vampire Skin.

The whole castle turned pitch black in an instant, and under the enhancement of the Night King, Mu You’s attributes greatly increased. He easily defeated a group, succeeding in breaking away from the encirclement, then used Terrain Change functionality to create a passage in the wall, finally escaping from the castle.

Of course, this didn’t mean it was the end. Outside the castle, waiting for him were various enemies, including Octopus Soldiers and an array of humanoid creatures, who immediately surrounded Mu You.

With the support of the Dark World, Mu You rampaged through the crowd unscathed, continuously throwing Wind Blades and Fireballs from his hands, forcibly tearing a hole through the crowd.

After a few seconds, Mu You was in front running, with a long line of pursuers behind him.

But at this moment, the ground suddenly rumbled, and a huge octopus tentacle burst out from it. Its length was so towering that it looked like a tower hundreds of meters high.
