Chapter 570: The Counterattack of the Octopus
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
Looking at the white and disgusting creature in front of him, Klein couldn’t help but frown.
He took two steps back, and he had a bad premonition.
James had disappeared without a trace. The only possibility was that he had been suddenly attacked by this fellow.
He had lost consciousness in an instant, which was why he didn’t have time to call for help.
It was very likely that the octopus had attacked James and brought him to the bottom of the abyss!
At that moment, James’ condition was a little unpredictable. Thinking of this, Klein’s heart jolted, and his back began to turn cold.
Although this fellow didn’t have any facial features, it might have a hobby of eating people.
Perhaps it brought James to the abyss just to have a good meal?
The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became. Klein’s face was already filled with anxiety.
“It’s you! You’ve been ambushing us all this time! What kind of hero is ambushing us in the dark?”
Gray sighed softly. “This guy is just a monster with tentacles all over its body. What kind of hero is it? Take care of it and quickly go find James!”
At this moment, Gray’s hand had already exploded with angry lightning, producing sizzling sounds.
There were many ways to produce lightning. Other than some naturally formed high-volt lightning, under extreme anger and anger, lightning-type spells would also be produced.
Furthermore, the power of this lightning was even more powerful!
Before Klein could react, Gray’s lightning flashed past. With a crack, it seemed like it was going to split the entire space in the middle!
The octopus moved faster than he had imagined, and it was good at dodging attacks.
It had already hidden under the abyss.
After the lightning, the monster climbed up again. This kind of enemy that appeared and disappeared at times was really difficult to deal with!
This made Gray somewhat frustrated.
At this moment, the octopus was unwilling to defend. It stretched out its tentacles and began to find trouble with the two humans in front of it.
No matter what the situation was, the one with more hands would always be in such an advantageous position.
More than a dozen tentacles surged forward, causing Klein and Gray’s fear of density to flare up.
Klein held a dagger that was glowing with flames in his hand as he waved his arms up and down.
He cut off all of the detestable tentacles one by one!
If it was a sudden attack in the fog, Klein would indeed be unable to handle it.
He naturally couldn’t afford to suffer any more losses from such a direct attack.
Perhaps it was due to the burning of the true fire, but the severed tentacles emitted sizzling sounds.
Klein could even smell the smell of the octopus being roasted.
The intense pain caused the octopus to retract its tentacles, and its entire body returned to the dark abyss.
Klein frowned slightly. This octopus was too cunning. Although it didn’t have the thoughts of a human, it was still quite experienced in combat.
Ambushing others in the fog, and once the fog was gone, using its base camp, the dark abyss, as a support, was simply a shameless way of fighting!
‘No, I have to strike at the root of the problem and take care of this fellow!’
Klein thought for a moment and said, “Gray, if it keeps going up like this, it will indeed cause great difficulties for our attacks. We don’t have much time to waste. Now, we can come up with a plan. When it comes up again, the two of us will work together to take care of it!”
Gray agreed with Klein’s plan. Since they were two people, they naturally had to work well together.
Klein’s position in the middle of the abyss gradually drew closer, giving the other party a strong sense of pressure.
As for Gray, he stood a little further away from the abyss. Furthermore, he was at a different angle from the abyss, making it difficult for the other party to be alarmed.
As expected, the moment Klein slowly drew closer, the octopus that had retreated back into the abyss suddenly jumped up again!
Not only was this fellow familiar with the art of sneak attacks, it was also confident that it would hit the target in one strike.
This time, Klein actually didn’t dodge. A tentacle tightly wrapped around his wrist!
Klein felt that the attack this time was very fierce. The strength used was greater than before.
He felt as though his entire wrist was about to be snapped, as though it wanted to drag Klein into the abyss.
Klein engaged in a prolonged rally with the octopus.
After all, the octopus was larger in size and had plenty of strength. In such a situation where the enemy was stronger than him, it was difficult for him to maintain his balance.
Klein gritted his teeth and tilted his body.
Then, he began a completely new tug-of-war competition for the octopus.
At that moment, Gray, who had been standing by the side, found an opportunity and leaped into the air.
Jumping into the air, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck the octopus!
In fact, this kind of tacit cooperation still required the trust of teammates. If Gray hadn’t accurately grasped the situation, it was very likely that he would have accidentally injured Klein.
Klein had entrusted his life to Gray, which showed how much confidence he had in his teammate.
With a cracking sound, Klein felt as though he had been struck by the lightning.
All the pores on his body opened up, and an inexplicable pain assaulted his entire body.
He was sent flying and landed on the ground with a thud. It turned out that the octopus had been struck by lightning and had been electrocuted by Klein’s body through its tentacles.
Klein was naturally injured by accident. Thankfully, the negative electric energy that was transmitted over wasn’t too great.
Other than feeling numb all over, there wasn’t much of a problem.
However, the octopus looked rather laughable at that moment. Its entire body had been electrocuted.
If it had hair, it would probably have an afro. Some of its tentacles could naturally move at will.
However, it had basically entered a state of disorder. It was just like how the central nervous system of a person’s brain could freely control their limbs and any organs under normal circumstances.
However, the octopus was a low-level intelligent creature. In addition, it had many tentacles. Once there was a problem with its brain, it would be unable to continue controlling the tentacles’ attacks and defenses.
This indeed gave Klein and Gray an excellent opportunity. The two of them looked at each other before charging forward together!
This time, Klein used the enhanced version of a fire-type spell.
It was very difficult to use magic attacks in this space, especially fire-type spells.
This was because the thick fog also contained a large amount of water. It was common sense that water could suppress fire.
However, the strengthened version of magic was different. Not only could it not be extinguished by water, it could also burn away the cold wind from everything in the world.
When the huge flames wrapped around its body, the octopus finally understood what it meant by being beaten viciously by society.
Previously, it had been acting arrogantly in this place. Under the cover of the thick fog, it had toyed with and injured many people.
This time, it had finally paid a huge price. Klein could even hear heavy, reverberating screams.
He found it very strange.. This fellow didn’t have eyes or a mouth, nor did he have any other facial features. What organs did it rely on to sense the existence of life around it?
