Chapter 2240: Chapter 2260: Most Poisonous Woman’s Heart_1

Octopus?

Zhong Shuyu pressed, "What happened with you three, how did you end up diving so deep into these waters? With such unfathomable depths and obstructed perceptions, how could you dare to go down?"

One of the disciples answered, "We originally had no plans to go down, but we saw a Blood Dragon Fish about two to three meters long that emitted such a powerful breath we could sense it from afar. We couldn’t resist the temptation and tried to catch that Snow Dragon Fish. Little did we know that as soon as we got into the water, we were directly controlled by the octopus’s tentacles."

"We couldn’t even run away, so we had no choice but to send out a distress signal as soon as possible. We all thought we were done for, but the octopus didn’t seem to be in a hurry to kill us. Instead, it just trapped us underwater and leisurely toyed with us."

A disciple beside him added, "It was as if a cat had caught a mouse—it wasn’t in a rush to eat it, but rather wanted to slowly toy with the mouse until it grew bored and uninterested, then it would eat the mouse..."

Su Yanran asked, "Is that octopus very powerful?"

The disciple replied, "We all have the strength of Golden Immortals, but in front of it, we’re like infants who can’t even walk, utterly powerless to resist. Only when the grandmaster came down and fought with the octopus did we manage to escape..."

Zhong Shuyu pressed on, "How did their battle turn out?"

The three disciples glanced at each other, their expressions somewhat hesitant.

"It’s too dark underwater, I couldn’t see clearly..."

"The grandmaster didn’t seem to have a complete advantage. The octopus’s tentacles spread out everywhere and even enveloped the grandmaster."

The people were all quite surprised; Qi Wuchang was a Daluo Ultimate Immortal and yet he couldn’t defeat an octopus.

How powerful must this octopus be?

Su Yanran turned her head and asked, "Should we go down and help?"

Zhong Shuyu did not haste to answer, instead asking carefully, "Is there only the octopus as an enemy underwater?"

"Yes, we saw no other enemies, but at the bottom of the water, there seems to be a structure..."

Zhong Shuyu and Su Yanran suddenly widened their eyes, "What structure?"

This world had never been inhabited by humans before; how could there be any structure?

Although Magical Beasts need lairs, their nests at most would be things like mountain caves, not some structure.

The disciple shook his head, "The water is too deep and dark, it’s not clear. We could only vaguely make out the tip of a structure that doesn’t seem to be formed naturally..."

Another disciple confirmed with additional details, "The octopus is very large, most of its body hidden beneath this structure, and all we saw were its long tentacles."

Zhong Shuyu and Su Yanran looked at each other, then said simultaneously, "Let’s go down and take a look."

Zhong Shuyu turned and said, "Friend Lin, please wait here in midair while we take a look below."

Lin Chen nodded, "Okay!"

Although also curious about what lay below, Lin Chen understood that even if there were benefits to be found, they would not be his to claim with three Daluo Ultimate Immortals going down. Not to mention the presence of a large octopus below.

Zhong Shuyu and Su Yanran both descended, following the passage that had opened automatically, heading down.

Before long, severe tremors and booming sounds from below the water’s surface grew ever more violent, and columns of water rose to the sky, turning the entire water surface like a sea amidst a storm.

Lin Chen and the others above watched with trepidation.

Three Daluo Ultimate Immortals, all unable to do anything about that large octopus?

This was too exaggerated.

The tremors lasted for over ten minutes, then the water’s surface burst open as Qi Wuchang and the other two emerged.

Lin Chen took a closer look and was immediately taken aback.

Qi Wuchang’s shoulder blade was a bloody mess, a tentacle with suction cups, like a thrown spear, had directly pierced his shoulder. This tentacle had been severed, but it was as if it was still alive, still moving, struggling as though trying to escape.

Although Zhong Shuyu and Su Yanran did not display obvious injuries, their faces were pale, hair disheveled, and fear laced their eyes.

Seeing the situation turn dire, Lin Chen stepped forward, his figure instantly disappearing from overhead the water.

At the same time, several huge tentacles pierced through the water surface, sweeping toward the people in midair.

A tentacle, as fast as Lightning, darted towards Qi Bingbing. Qi Bingbing’s pupils suddenly constricted; it was already too late for her to flee. She quickly dashed to the side, in an instant, hiding her body behind another male disciple.

The male disciple’s face registered shock, as his Barrier glowed with Golden Light. But in the next second, the tentacle cut through the air, whacking the Barrier to smithereens with a slap, the tentacle piercing the chest of the male disciple like a steel lance.

The male disciple screamed in agony, and in the next moment, his body abruptly withered, turning into a dried corpse in a blink of an eye.

Qi Bingbing took advantage of this split second to flee quickly backward, distancing herself from the water surface and narrowly escaping disaster.

Lin Chen looked back at this scene and sneered in his heart—indeed, a woman’s heart could be most venomous!
