Chapter 492: Chapter 292: The Lost Heart_1

In contrast to the formidable forces of the two factions, Mu You’s team was significantly smaller.

It consisted of just him, Lin Xue, and Little Ya.

If anything, the panda man and the merman were their entire military force!

Of course, Mu You was not discouraged by this, for soon, they would receive help from a powerful local group—the Dragon Knight Pirate Group.

The introduction of such a large pirate group would rapidly fill their personnel gap.

On Tuesday afternoon, Mu You closed the shop early and went to find Lin Hai to help watch the ’door’ as usual.

This time, other than Mu You and Lin Xue, Little Ya and Ye Rumeng were also going to enter through the door to help on the front line.

At five in the afternoon, with everyone prepared, Mu You opened the door on time.

"Little Sea, just like last time, the shop is entrusted to you!"

"Don’t worry, Master!" Lin Hai patted his chest in assurance.

Time was of the essence, so everyone entered the door promptly, led by Mu You, then moved according to the previously agreed-upon plan.

Everyone piled into the backpack Mu You prepared. Mu You then used the teleportation array to directly travel to the third layer dissolution cave of the Underwater Prison.

A feeling of damp coolness swarmed them, experiencing it in person compared to merely reading about it in the game did have a significant difference—the temperature in the dissolution cave was much colder and damper than expected, but the light was surprisingly bright.

A large number of fluorescent plants grew around the dissolution cave, reflecting the narrow space beautifully.

Mu You let Lin Xue and the others out, then went straight to the mushroom tree in the middle of the dissolution cave.

The skeleton of the old elf resting against the tree trunk was weathered and rotten. Sensing the approaching footsteps, the spirit in the bottle automatically appeared.

"Are these the reinforcements you brought?" The spirit in the bottle was looking at the three women who were curiously inspecting their surroundings. It first noticed Little Ya.

That was because Little Ya was wearing the skin of a Forest Priest, and she looked exactly like a forest elf, making the old elf feel a sense of familiarity.

"Yes."

Mu You nodded and glanced at the old elf’s skeleton: "Next, we are going to the fifth level. What about you? Will you come down with us or wait here for our good news?"

The old elf’s skeleton had already been severely eroded by the wind, and it looked like it could crumble into a pile of bone dust at any moment. There probably weren’t many chances left to move him, so Mu You didn’t dare to mishandle him.

"Please take me with you! Regardless of your success or failure, I need to witness the result!" The elf urgently requested.

Without refusing, Mu You carefully transferred the old man’s remains into the backpack and placed them in the prepared coffin.

As for that spirit-bearing bottle, Mu You left it outside.

After taking care of the old elf’s skeleton, Mu You led the three women down.

After descending the dissolution cave for several minutes, the path ahead became narrower and narrower, until the four people were blocked by a stone wall. This was the exit leading to the fifth level.

Mu You gestured to the three women behind him to prepare themselves. He then took out his Magic Wand, took a deep breath, and with it touched the bricks in a specific sequence.

Up three, left two, down four, right one...

When the door-opening code designed by the old elf was successfully entered, the stone wall in front moved and automatically opened a small entrance.

Mu You looked outside through the small entrance. As expected, it connected to a room composed of flesh walls and mucus.

However, with people present this time, Mu You observed the walls’ cut-off point.

He had always been curious about which part of the Octopus King this entrance connected to. Could it be directly connected to its mouth?

Not until this moment did Mu You faintly see a layer of wriggling octopus skin at the connection between the stone wall and the flesh wall. Recognizing the familiar shape, he realized: It’s a sucker!

This position should be on one of the tentacles of the octopus. Once opened, it could be directly inside the Octopus King.

In other words, each of the Octopus King’s suckers is equivalent to a mouth.

At this moment, the Octopus King was hiding under the sea, sleeping, with its eight arms wrapped tightly around the fourth level of the Underwater Prison as if hugging a pillow.

If someone were to drill out from any location on the outer wall of the fourth level, they would not be able to escape the prison directly. Instead, the person would enter the Octopus King’s body, in other words, the fifth level through the octopus suckers wrapped around the fourth level.

After determining the location, Mu You dove into the entrance first.

As soon as he landed, before he could stabilize himself on the soft flesh wall, umbilical cord-like substances suddenly surrounded him, coiling around him like snakes.

Mu You remained calm and swiftly conjured several Wind Blades, cutting off all the visible umbilical cords heading his way.

Then, before the next wave of umbilical cords could form, he quickly pulled a potion out of his ring, opened the bottle, and poured the light pink potion onto the flesh wall at his feet.

The potion immediately penetrated into the flesh wall. Simultaneously, the surrounding umbilical cords’ growth rate slowed down. Even those that had already grown did not immediately entangle Mu You. Instead, they swayed on the spot, acting as if they had completely lost their sense of direction.

"It really works!"

Mu You nodded with satisfaction. The potion he had just poured was, of course, the Legendary Sleep Potion he had prepared.

Once poured, it immediately quieted down the inside of the Octopus King.

Only then did Mu You turn back to beckon to the three people at the entrance.
