"Pass my orders to General Zheng He, immediately lead the troops to a desolate island to rest up. Little Green will bring me to find you." Before leaving, Ouyang Shuo shouted out orders at Chen Dameng.
With the might of the octopus boss, if it charged into the squadron, it would definitely cause heavy casualties; Ouyang Shuo could not bear to see such a scenario.
Hence, he could only step up to deal with the situation and buy time for the squadron to escape.
On the vast ocean, amidst the chaotic storm, Ouyang Shuo stood on the back of Little Green like a war god. They swiftly departed, leaving all the soldiers with a chic back view.
When Zheng He received the news, an emotional light appeared in his eyes.
"Such a Lord, I am willing to die for him!" Zheng He's expression turned serious as he started to use the war drums to order the troops to leave the battlefield.
The target of the octopus monsters was Ouyang Shuo. Hence, when Ouyang Shuo left, they all followed him. They did not bother about the squadron that was slowly retreating.
However, how fast was Little Green?
The lucky survivors could only stare at their back view from a distance. Not far away, the octopus boss had already stopped shrieking; its tentacles swung about on the ocean surface, causing massive waves.
This was really the case of there being an obstacle ahead and chasing soldiers behind.
Ouyang Shuo had to take this matter seriously, so he immediately activated the devil bloodline. He transformed into a devil, and his size increased by a factor of three. Even so, in front of the octopus boss, he was still incredibly minuscule.
After killing Chiyou, Ouyang Shuo had obtained the devil blood essence, granting his bloodline its first awakening. Hence, even if he transformed, he would not experience too much of a side effect; his situation was unlike the mountain barbarians’ berserk state.
At most, he would temporarily lose his fighting strength and revert to the level of normal people.
As a result, Ouyang Shuo dared to use it. Otherwise, if the effects wore off, and he had no strength at all, he was basically dead.
Ge~gua!
The octopus boss let loose an enraged roar, and a tentacle swiftly smacked down toward Ouyang Shuo’s head, which gave him only moments to dodge.
The tentacles looked rather clumsy and cumbersome, but it was actually swift and agile. It was ten meters away a while ago, but it arrived above his head in an instant, brimming with killing intent.
Ouyang Shuo did not dare take it head on, so he sidestepped. Helplessly, the tentacle was truly too thick and Ouyang Shuo had barely dodged it, so the force from the tentacle brushed him, causing him to lose his footing and nearly fall into the ocean.
At the crucial moment, Ouyang Shuo used his swift reactions to thrust the Tianmo Spear deep into the tentacle, using this as support to hang onto the tentacle.
This hit was just like a scratch to the octopus boss.
The colossal tentacle swung ferociously, while Ouyang Shuo tried his best to hang on.
He was flung up and down, his insides churning.
Although this was the ocean, if one was really smacked down, it was no different from falling onto solid ground.
The current storm grew more and more intense. The torrential rain was like a waterfall with no end in sight. In this rain, Ouyang Shuo basically could not open his eyes, and his only thought was to grab the spear and not let go.
Continuing to hold on required superhuman determination. The Tianmo Spear seemed to have noticed that its owner was in trouble, as the pole shone with a dark light once more.
"Bloodthirst!"
The specialty of the Tianmo Spear was activated.
Blood Essence was sucked out of the tentacle like water. A massive quantity of blood was sucked out and absorbed by the Tianmo Spear, disappearing in a short moment.
Octopuses possessed an incredibly healing ability. After a tentacle was chopped off, the blood vessels would shrink and the wound would subsequently heal. A a result, the wounds of octopuses would not bleed.
It would not bleed, but that did not mean there was no blood there.
The dominance of the Tianmo Spear was truly unreasonable. Under the absorption of the spear, the blood essence of the entire octopus boss actually gathered toward this tentacle.
It seemed like the Tianmo Spear was going to directly suck it dry.
This had finally made this deep ocean monster feel a tinge of fear. The tentacle that was swinging up and down started to swing more ferociously, as it tried to toss Ouyang Shuo away.
How would Ouyang Shuo give up on such an opportunity? He gritted his teeth, and he bore the pain in his chest. He grasped onto his spear, not wanting to let go.
The sight of this caused the octopus boss to explode, and it used another tentacle to smack him. The two tentacles crashed; Ouyang Shuo, who was stuck in the middle, felt his organs shift.
Pu!
Finally, Ouyang Shuo could not hold it in anymore, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Under the rainwater, the blood disappeared in an instance. After that hit, his grip grew weaker, and it looked like he was about to lose hold.
Obviously, the octopus boss would not stop, and the second hit arrived right after.
Feeling the wind from the strike, Ouyang Shuo gritted his teeth, as he summoned his last ounce of strength to pull out the spear. Then he fell into the ocean, his status unknown.
The bitter ocean water flowed into his mouth, making him instantly awake.
With his current cultivation, holding his breath for half an hour was not a difficult matter. Making use of this chance, Ouyang Shuo raised his head and looked into the depth of the oceans, only to see the massive and ugly head of the octopus boss floating in the water. In the quiet ocean, a pair of cold and numb eyes stared in his direction.
At this very moment, Nian Beast Little Green swam over and caught Ouyang Shuo.
If Ouyang Shuo used this chance to escape, the boss would definitely fail to notice. However, all things considered, he did not want to give up, so he patted Little Green and instructed him to swim toward the boss.
If he did not kill this monster, it would always pose a problem.
Relying on the ocean currents, Ouyang Shuo swiftly approached the boss.
The eyesight of that big octopus was incredible bad, and it only noticed Ouyang Shuo when he drew close. Suddenly, panic and surprise appeared in its cold eyes.
Ouyang Shuo laughed iciliy, as the Tianmo Spear directly stabbed toward the area right above its eyes, where its brain was located.
The octopus boss wanted to stop him, but it was too late. Its tentacles were incredibly strong, but they were too long, so they could not retract in time to help.
At the crucial moment, the boss spat out a black and pungent ink, instantly dyeing the surrounding water black.
Ouyang Shuo did not retreat. Instead, he proceeded forward, closing his eyes and using his senses to decisively stab forward. It was like sharp Tianmo Spear was cutting chopped tofu, as it easily pierced the octopus boss.
Ge~Gua!
The octopus boss let out a painful scream, as its cries became weaker and weaker.
Its head was its weakness.
However, Ouyang Shuo was similarly in a bad shape. The ink that the octopus boss had spat out did not simply stain the ocean, as it also had a numbing.
After the ink struck him, Ouyang Shuo could feel his hands stiffen up.
"Not good!"
Ouyang Shuo's heart tightened, as he used the last bit of his will to shake the Tianmo Spear, directly tearing apart the octopus boss’s brain.
Regardless of the octopus boss's vitality, it probably could not survive.
It was like it knew it would not live for long, as its viciousness was no less than Ouyang Shuo. The massive tentacles swept over; the current Ouyang Shuo was stiff and tight, so he could only watch on as the tentacles smacked his chest. He fainted.
The storm above the ocean did not show any signs of stopping.
The crazy weather continued. When those small octopus monsters heard the cries of their mother, the hate in their bodies was ignited, and they swam over to tear Ouyang Shuo into shreds.
It seemed like Ouyang Shuo would lose his life here.
At the crucial moment, Little Green pulled a miracle, as it laid Ouyang Shuo on its back and swiftly swam away. The ink of the octopus boss had basically no effect on a Nian Beast like Little Green.
From the vast ocean, many cries of pain and hatred rose, and they did not disappear for a long time.
Desolate island, sunny, beach.
On a beach a short distance away laid a teen laid; he was equipped with body armor and had a spear in his hand. His breathing was exceedingly calm, and if nothing went wrong, he would wake up soon.
The magical part was a golden seal that shone brightly at his waist. It was like there was something on this island that was attracting it.
Beside the teen crouched a beast with green scales and sharp teeth. At this moment, the beast was extremely well behaved, and it carefully paid attention to the teen like a loyal guard.
The eye piercing sun finally woke the teen up.
"Where am I?"
Ouyang Shuo opened his eyes and got up; his head felt a little groggy and heavy. The attack of the octopus boss had left him with many internal injuries that had not healed up yet.
Even just getting up was exceedingly tiring.
Combined with the aftereffects of awakening the bloodline, his body physique had dropped tremendously. Moreover, he had soaked in the ocean for a really long time, so all his injuries had layered upon one another.
After doing a quick check, Ouyang Shuo could not help but smile bitterly.
It would probably take ten days to half a month to heal up.
Nian~
A happy roar suddenly sounded out beside him, it was the Nian Beast Little Green.
Ouyang Shuo turned and touched its head, smiling, “This time, it's all thanks to you!"
Wu~
The little fellow raised his head in glee and arrogance, it was basically a carbon copy of its little owner, Bing'er.
"Is that octopus dead?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
Wu!
Little Green nodded, and it suddenly clawed at the sand at its feet, revealing a circular, pristine pearl.
"This is?" Ouyang Shuo picked it up in shock and asked, “This is the inner pellet of the octopus?"
Wu! the little fellow nodded once more.
Ouyang Shuo gave out another bitter smile. Anyone would know that the inner pellet of the octopus boss was an extremely rare item, but Little Green treated it like a toy, burying it in the sand.
Just the thought of swallowing the inner pellet made Ouyang Shuo's smile grow wider and wider.
