Shadow Covenant

Chapter 135 "Ten-armed Octopus"

The combat experience in his previous life allowed Woody to enter the water, even if he couldn't see the whole picture of this creature, but with the twisted tentacles and claws tied to Angelina's body, he still recognized it as a creature from the Underdark at a glance. Specialty strange.

——"Ten-armed octopus."

The ten-armed octopus has ten tentacles, and its overall color is changed by the environment like a chameleon. The sucker is strangely brown. In addition, it also has a sickly deformed ugly face and a pair of milky white eyes on its spherical body. And the most important thing is that each tentacle will have an energy-level energy-absorbing special effect. Any creature bound by the tentacles, in addition to a constant attribute -1 debilitating debuff, will also receive a toughness saving throw, otherwise it will De-energized for a few seconds due to the energy-absorbing effect.The tentacles of the ten-armed octopus generally have a base strength of 16 points when they are five meters long, and can increase by 3 point for every 10 meters (1 feet) of growth in adulthood.

The largest ten-armed octopus that Woody has ever seen lived in a dark area somewhere in the southern valley of Terra. At that time, he saw the gray-white giant octopus jumping down from the cave forest tens of meters high. The ten tentacles are like the legs of a spider firmly clamping a ground dragon with a challenge level of 10 and few natural enemies. At that time, each of its tentacles was as long as an adult dragon by visual inspection. When fully unfolded, even It can engulf a big tree as thick as 4 people surrounded by it.

That's right, most ten-armed octopuses are land creatures, but as subterranean creatures that love to ambush, they can use their tiny suckers and barbs to climb in dense tree canopies, narrow stone crevices, and forests made of stalactites , in the water is also not inferior to another monster at the bottom, the predator of the kuo-toa, and it is often used as a sentinel or bait for the aboleths to raise.

After all, in addition to its superb lurking skills, it is also good at using its own abilities to create magical illusions, and when the ten-armed octopus hears the conversations of other creatures, it can easily imitate these voices,

When every drow leaves the city to venture outside, the old man's most advice is that when venturing underground, don't be surprised when you hear any sound or see anything, let alone leave the team rashly, because that is very likely to be A confusing trap set by the ten-armed octopus.

……

"How about it?"

Woody couldn't judge the size of the underwater octopus just by the part tied to Angelina's body, so he asked subconsciously.

"It's a bit laborious, but it shouldn't be my opponent."

Angelina also seemed to have aroused fierceness. First, she let Woody leave its back, and then the original soft dorsal fin instantly stood up, piercing fiercely into the weird tentacles that dared to touch her body, and at the same time, the whole body became more It frantically flicked its tail and shook its head in the water, as if it wanted to consume the physical strength of the ten-armed octopus in this way.

However, apparently this method did not bother the meticulously lurking metamorphosis spider. Facing the violent posture of the megalodon shark, it firmly bound its lower body, as long as it did not let its head touch it. My own body is invincible, and it also has its own way to deal with the protruding thorns. I saw the deformation in the water flickering, and the originally soft tentacles quietly changed, gradually Shed flesh and blood, and turned into a metallic razor.

"Damn it! It's that metamorphic spider!"

When he saw the tentacles and claws that changed again in the water and turned into sharp blades like the hands and feet of a mantis, Woody knew that this creature must be a shape-shifting spider that had previously been a human steward, and it was the only one with this advanced level." Only a guy with the profession of "War Shapeshifter" can achieve a certain degree of blending and fusion of every part of his body. He also understands that if this continues, Angelina, who can only be in the form of a shark, will definitely not be its opponent. , so he directly pulled out the curved sword and rushed forward. Judging from the previous data of the shape-shifting spider, the challenge level of the ten-armed octopus it transforms should not exceed level 12, so you just need to be a little careful when dealing with it , I am still sure, he had dared to face the monster when he was a level 5 demon hunter before, it makes no sense for him to be intimidated by a ten-armed octopus after he advanced to become a level [-] demon hunter.

What's more, with Angelina attracting most of its firepower this time, it doesn't seem to be particularly difficult to deal with it directly here.

"Shh!"

Facing Woody's sudden sprint in the water, he naturally couldn't hide it from the ten-armed octopus who also had a sense of water flow. Two huge tentacles from the deep water area slammed towards him fiercely. Before the victory and defeat are completely separated, it naturally does not allow other people to intervene in its battlefield.

However, it underestimated the sensitivity of a human being with the longing for the sea in the water, just like a slippery little fish, facing the heavy blow with the reversing current, it can always be like catkins in the wind, even touching it He couldn't touch it, but was almost cut several times by the sharp blade in his hand.

"Isn't he a spellcaster? Why is he so proficient in underwater combat?"

At this time, Lu Zhani was looking at the spellcaster who dived into the water. She was ordered by her master Curea to come here to deal with the culprit who dared to attack the tribe with water.

But because of the turbid water, the vagueness can only fluctuate through the current.Judging by the silhouette, he should be a human.

But what makes it so puzzling is, isn't this human being a spellcaster?

How could she dodge her underwater attack, and it was still so powerful. At this time, the water was split by a knife again. She was not so much a spellcaster, but a sensitive wanderer.

However, in the eyes of Lu Zani, who is now focusing most of her attention on fighting the human in the water, she soon saw the bright light of the knife in the water, and also saw the curved sharp blade and the shape of the weapon that caused this power. Extra deadly, obviously more lethal than the teeth of the megalodon.

The most important thing is that the weapon looks familiar, as if... Damn it, it's still that human being, why did that killer suddenly come underground!
Lu Zhani suddenly recalled that she had indeed seen this sword before, and that the owner of it was that human being that she met in the ground before, the damn noble of the wine estate!

She also reported this incident to the master, but she didn't expect him to kill him so soon, and this huge torrent that fell from the sky, the deep pool that suddenly burst the embankment, and the overflowing water.

The only thing lingering in Lu Zhani's mind is...

How did he do that?And how did he control such a ferocious giant shark, and his fighting skills in the water, plus what he knew before, escaping in the soil and fighting on land, he is proficient in everything...

Could it be that he, like himself, is also a creature with a deformed head?
At this time, the shape-shifting spider Lu Zhani felt unbelievably terrified. After all, there is nothing like discovering that the opponent has directly taken out a heavyweight weapon when she is sure of winning. That's terrible.

Lu Zhani suddenly had the urge to retreat. Even though the human being in front of her seemed to be able to slap her to death with a single slap, the previous proof and his sudden killing did bring her an indescribable impact.

In addition, the pain of being torn apart, it doesn't want to come back again.

Every time I think about it, there is only one.

pain!It hurts so much!

Physiological discomfort made it start to cringe, and its milky white eyeballs began to turn around, looking for a retreat plan. After all, the situation has entered a deadlock. In the long run, although this is the home of the drow elves, this battle The sudden flood turned the home court advantage into a disadvantage, and the real home court was the Sharks alone.

But now it is so easy to run, it may be able to take advantage of the limitations of the shark's body before, just like a parasite, the megalodon has nothing to do with it, after all, Angelina can't be like it , Let your body also change.

But now that he is thinking of retreating, its weakness suddenly appears, that is, it cannot face the joint attack of two opponents in the water, even though it has more limbs than them, although the ten tentacles will not be a decoration, but only one end With the size of the megalodon shark, it can make it protrude from left to right and move around in a hurry, not to mention that there is a sharp blade watching over it.

But what she didn't expect in the ensuing battle was that the fight was not inextricable, but more difficult.

Due to the absence of the previous tentacles, its claws hooking the ground have been loosened, and it turned to attack the human, so it is now attached to the megalodon shark, and then uses the extra tentacles to attack behind it. The person's resistance, coupled with the fact that the megalodon shark under it seemed to have heard some order, suddenly turned around and rushed towards the person behind it.

Judging from the screen, the megalodon with its body wrapped around a giant octopus rushed towards a human with a sharp blade, but Lu Zhani knew in her heart that she was the only target of the two attacking people.

no!You have to call for foreign aid too!
The metamorphic spider thought extremely decisively, and at the same time used its special communication skills to connect to its master, Curea, and began to ask for help.

The spider mage Kurea is currently on a building terrace surrounded by water flow. Woody's attack just now was resolved by his spell. He is also very confused and does not know the source. After all, the sudden flood did not give him any Prepared, he only had time to transfer his love Elise to the elevated terrace, and then act accordingly.

But this time, Lu Zhani's spiritual communication made him understand the whole story, his expression became dark and uncertain, and his teeth were clenched. After all, in his opinion, this human being was too deceitful. They all hid in the ruins of the gray dwarves. Still planning to wipe them all out, he thought about the human noble who had come prepared, and looked at Elise, who was covered in wounds and was only breathing a sigh of relief now.

He ordered a cave spider under his control to use silk threads to move Elise and himself to a safer location while the human was fighting fiercely underwater.

The water level is still rising, and this terrace will soon be submerged, but his eyes, like scarlet gemstones, are staring at the torrent that is constantly crashing down. In the end, Curea seems to have made up some kind of determination, his eyes Become resolute and decisive, he directly ignored the request of the shapeshifting spider, he had more important things to do than aid.

But did not receive a reply from Currea, and Lu Zhani, who had already been playing under the two-player tactic and was frequently in danger, immediately understood that she had become an abandoned child.

Difficult to digest this message, Lu Zhani, who lost his mind, was suddenly found by Woody, and the tentacles that wanted to block his way directly dodged sideways, and then raised the curved sword in his hand and chopped down without any strength, but the power was as strong as The attack, with the help of the water flow, directly presents the effect of a heavy blow.

The blade of the curved sword directly slashed on the tentacles, and before the tentacles could change back and forth, it broke directly. The wound exuded foul-smelling mucus and liquid, and the ten-armed octopus incarnated by the metamorphic spider also convulsed. He seized this opportunity, flicked his tail, rushed forward, bit the half of the tentacles in front of Woody who wanted to retreat, and his sharp teeth sank into the flesh and blood.

This time, it couldn't escape anymore, and the continuous pain made it tremble violently again. I saw Angelina in the form of a megalodon shark, like eating spicy sticks, twitching her tentacles one by one. The root tendrils are sent inside, and it is even more unheard of to face other attacks that want to attack its head. It swings directly and flexibly, without giving the ten-armed octopus attached to its back any chance. This tentacle directly followed the posture of swallowing it alive with the huge force in its mouth.

At the same time, Woody also took advantage of the gap between the metamorphic spider's frantic attack on Angelina, and rushed forward, getting closer to Angelina in the water, and at the same time approached the metamorphic spider on the back.

A body more flexible than a fish gave him more range and space. This time, the curved sword in his hand was no longer aimed at its tentacles, but at the swollen bump on the back of the twisted and rotten face. This is the characteristic trace of the metamorphosis spider. Even if it transforms into other creatures, it also has this characteristic. Its weakness cannot be discarded. At this time, it has also lost its ability to defend, and Woody has already broken into the restricted area.

Once again dodged a sweeping tentacle, cut off another tentacle wielding the end of a deformed blade, and while the body of the metamorphosis spider began to transform with flashes of aura, it gradually turned into a giant anaconda whose tail was bitten by a megalodon shark How could Woody give him another chance to transform.

dead!
Swordsmanship·Heavy Slash!

Woody held his breath and concentrated, the light of the curved sword in his hand had already hit the metamorphic spider whose scales had not yet fully grown.

The direction of the undercurrent brought about by the manipulation of the water level gave him a blessing similar to that of the wind. The condensed flesh and blood could hardly resist the enchanted blade for a moment, and the brain inside was exposed like a rotten vegetable leaf intertwined with deformed blood vessels. Qu Jian pressed down again at a speed that did not decrease by half.

There was no chance for the brain to be closed, and even ignoring the violent twitching, it directly broke open the skull, and at the same time cut the brain inside into two halves. The muddy water became even muddier, but this time in the water flow, There was a unique rotten atmosphere, and the next moment, this huge ten-armed octopus also turned into its original appearance.

A deformed spider about three or four meters high with a hill on its back appeared in the water.

It's just that the spider's originally fiery red eyes have dimmed.

Under Woody's gesture, Angelina's megalodon also let go. The blood stimulation of spiders is much less than that of humans. After all, this thing is not in its diet at all.

Soon on the surface of the water, a corpse of a shape-shifting spider floated upside down.
