Bu Tian Gang

The tentacles were too long, so on the winter solstice, I specially picked the place where the meat was rich and tender, and filled a small bag before I stood up satisfied.

"It's cold now, and this is raw again. It can be kept for at least a day, and we don't have to eat dry food all the time."

Seeing the "corpse" of tentacles that had been cut into pieces on the ground, Liu Si, who was also a living creature, could not help twitching, and reminded in a low voice, "What if this thing is poisonous?"

The winter solstice said: "It's okay, the tentacles of ordinary octopuses are not poisonous. If the tentacles were poisoned just now, we would have been poisoned already, and I brought salt and cumin, so there is no need to waste them."

Liu Si was still a little mentally handicapped, but when he heard the roasted octopus whiskers with cumin, he couldn't help swallowing silently.

Liu Qingbo: "...I can understand the salt, but why did you think of bringing cumin?"

Winter Solstice said with a smile: "When we were staying in Los Angeles, I went to the back kitchen and the chef gave me a small bottle of cumin powder because I liked it. At that time, I thought that foreigners like BBQ and might bring BBQ meat. Knowing they didn't bring it, we got grilled octopus."

Liu Qingbo rubbed his forehead: "Who taught you the problem of wearing everything you like, does the Long Bureau know?"

Long Shen, who was far away in the East, could not answer this question. The winter solstice happily packed up the octopus slices and continued to walk with everyone.

I don't know if it was because of the loss of a tentacle. On the way, they didn't encounter any obstacles. Of course, they didn't meet anyone from other teams. Until the evening, when the sun went down, everyone had walked through the maze. a day.

Compared with fighting zombies in the forest, it is of course easier here, but everyone, including the winter solstice, always feels that danger lurks under the calm, and the coming night is the best protection for all dangers. Many accidents happen late at night, not during the day.

The winter solstice looked up at the sky and said, "Let's stop and rest after the sky is completely dark. Now we can walk for a while."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a few drops of dark liquid on the ground in the corner ahead.

is blood.

Dongzhi subconsciously wanted to step forward, but was grabbed by Liu Qingbo, Dongzhi gave the other a soothing look, pulled his hand away, and slowly approached.

A man is leaning against the wall, his body is half tilted, his eyes are closed.

The other party heard the footsteps, and immediately opened his eyes again, making an attacking stance, and after a closer look, he was relieved to find that it was the Winter Solstice and them.

"It's you!"

The winter solstice was also surprised that the other party was actually Tom, who had disappeared in the labyrinth halfway through as William said.

"Why are you here?"

Tom said weakly: "Don't mention it, do you have anything to eat, I have eaten all the dry food on me?"

Winter Solstice: "Did you bring a barbecue stove?"

Tom: "Yes, I also have a small stove in my backpack."

The winter solstice said with a smile: "Then please eat grilled baby octopus."

Liu Qingbo:  …

Yankee was so hungry that he couldn't remember where the octopus whiskers came from, so he asked Dongzhi to take out a mini oven from his backpack, skewered octopus slices and grilled them on top, and sprinkled salt and cumin on Dongzhi. , Suddenly, a scent hit the nostrils, and even Liu Qingbo and the others moved their index fingers, not to mention Tom.

The other party didn't wait for the octopus to be cooked, and then grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth to devour it. His expression was so moved that he almost cried.

"God bless, I am lucky to meet you, otherwise I would not have been beaten to death by the monsters, but I would have starved to death here!"

He finished most of the large bag of octopus fillets, looked at the bag that was almost empty, and said apologetically, "Sorry, I ate your dinner."

Li Han'er and the others didn't speak, they stared straight at him, and Tom was breaking out in cold sweat.

"What's wrong? Did I eat too much?"

Li Han'er: "Are you feeling well?"

Tom rubbed his stomach: "No, it's good, I'm full, and it's delicious!"

Liu Qingbo's mouth twitched: "Since it's delicious, you can also take the rest."

Tom moved: "You are so kind!"

After saying this, he reacted with hindsight: "But where did you get the octopus slices? Could it be..."

His face was a little pale, and the winter solstice comforted him: "It's not what you think, we got it from the sea."

The octopus monster should indeed live in the sea.

Tom was comforted and did not dare to go further, and hurriedly told his experience of the past two days.

Tom was walking in front of Lilith at the time, but when he turned the corner, he suddenly stretched out a tentacle, and before he could make a sound, he blocked his mouth and swept away. Tom was caught off guard, unable to react in time, and even shot He didn't even take it out, and he almost became food in the mouth of the octopus monster. Fortunately, a group of Nordic people passed by and rescued him in time.

It was Americans, Africans and Nordics who landed on Full Moon Island at the beginning, but the Americans chose to quit halfway after Tom disappeared and went to Rose Island with the eagle-claw banshee first, and then took the British and Southern Europeans with them. People come back here.

In other words, if there is no accident, there should be many teams in this maze now.

Although Tom didn't find a companion, he was happy to meet humans instead of tentacles, so he went with the Nordics.

There is also a Russian in the team. It is said that the other party's name is An Dong. He was separated from his companions on Rose Island. An Dong could not find his companions, and he did not want to retire early to affect the team's honor, so he had to come to this full moon island alone. He also encountered tentacles in the labyrinth and was rescued by the Nordics.

Walking with a group of people is of course much safer than walking alone, but Tom did not expect that this was the beginning of his nightmare.

All of them rested on the spot that night. Tom's sleep quality was not always good, but because he was too tired during the day, he soon fell asleep and was unconscious until he was woken up by a pain in his chest.

"This little guy saved my life."

Tom took out a small squirrel from his arms, and the other party nibbled on a pine nut without making any sound. His big fluffy tail was wagging, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

"This is my little pet. It is very sensitive to smells. It bit me in the middle of the night and woke me up with pain. Guess what I saw!"

Zhang Song was impatient: "Don't tell stories, hurry up!"

Tom said he saw a scene he will never forget.

In the dark, one person squatted in front of another, took out a **** heart from his body, and was chewing with great taste.

Tom is a practitioner after all, and no matter how frightened he is, he won't cry out like an ordinary person. He thought he was in a daze, and watched with bated breath for a while, and found that everyone except himself seemed to have fallen asleep. He fell to the ground, the blood mixed with the sweet smell wafting in the air, which was so thick that it was disgusting, but he was not woken up by the smoke just now.

Tom quietly took out the gun from his arms, but the slight movement still alerted the other party. The man stopped eating and turned to look at him. At that moment, Tom also pulled the trigger at the same time.

"The exorcism bullet didn't work for him!" Tom's breath was a little short, "He rushed towards me, I fired a few random shots, turned around and ran, and kept running for a long distance, he didn't continue to catch up, I ran away It's a long way before I feel like I'm out of danger!"

Dongzhi and Liu Qingbo looked at each other and immediately realized that 80% of them were possessed by demonic energy.

"Have you seen him clearly, who is he?"

Tom shook his head: "I only know that it must be a man, but in fact I am not familiar with them. It was too dark and it was too urgent to recognize them at all."

The winter solstice patted him on the shoulder: "Then come with us."

Tom nodded and looked at them carefully again: "You, no one is possessed by demons, right?"

The winter solstice asked for a bell from Li Han'er and threw it to Tom: "Tie it, if a monster approaches you, it will ring."

Tom blew a whistle: "It's so amazing, is it your eastern exorcism, what's this bell called?"

The winter solstice said nonsense: "It's called Octopus Bell."

Li Haner:  …

Tom murmured, "What a strange name."

The night has come completely, everyone makes a fire to rest, and there is a high wall to block the wind, but it is not cold. This may be the only advantage of staying in the forest where the wind is blowing all around.

The news Tom brought was very useful, at least they knew that there was magic in this maze at the Winter Solstice, so they would be more vigilant.

It was Zhang Song and Yang Shouyi who were on the night watch. Maybe they knew that they were well guarded. The first half of the night was calm and safe. In the second half of the night, Zhang Song yawned and was about to wake up Yang Shouyi when an accident happened.

He saw countless huge black shadows falling from the sky, sliding down from above along the wall, silently, touching the people resting against the wall.

"Enemy attack!" Zhang Song shouted.

Almost at the same time as he shouted, the bells on everyone's body also rang.

Tom exclaimed, "Octopus bells! Octopus bells!"

"Shut up!"

Liu Qingbo and Li Haner spoke at the same time, and two sword lights slashed at the tentacles on the wall.

Although those tentacles are huge, they are very flexible. Although they don't have eyes, they sense the threat coming. The moment the sword light hits them, the tentacles shrink quickly, and the sword light hits the wall in the air, leaving two deep streaks. Mark of.

Several tentacles waved in the air, and they immediately fought with the crowd.

The tentacles are extremely powerful and lethal. Most of the time, they are pulled heavily. Although people dodge, the tentacles are pulled against the wall, powder rustles down, and broken bricks and rocks hit people. Even if it is not fatal, it is still alive. pain.

Li Han'er looked at the tentacles in front of her, and suddenly there was an extra one behind her. She wrapped her waist and took the person to the air. Liu Si's eyes were quick and he whipped the tentacles. The tentacles retracted in pain. body, steady on the ground.

Tom also took out the machete on his back to fight with the tentacles. Despite his tall stature, his movement speed was actually not inferior, but those tentacles were invulnerable, unless he poured turbulent gas into the sword to cause damage, otherwise the bullets would be useless. For a while, the sword light and sword shadow, strips of huge tentacles with rough skin and thick flesh, the scarred wounds caused by the sword light whip shadow on it, as if it can only anger it and make it launch a more violent attack.

A tentacle slammed against the wall, and the yellowstone brick wall quickly cracked, and the gap immediately expanded. With a loud bang, the wall collapsed like a city and pressed down on everyone.

The tentacles seemed to realize the damage that brick walls could bring to people, and smashed the walls one after another, smashing them at them.

In the dark, the visibility was originally low. Rao was Zhang Song and the others were agile. At most, they could only protect their heads, but they could not avoid injuries to the back of their hands and feet, and their faces were scratched by flying stones, but the tentacles were still raging, and they were getting worse. Many, dancing on the top of people's heads, and even covering the fog, the rich smell of the sea permeates the surrounding, making it almost suffocating.

Liu Siyi whipped over and whipped away the tentacle that was thrown at the head, but then another attacked from behind. He reacted extremely quickly, and turned to attack, but the huge tentacle was so powerful that it almost rolled his whip. Go, Liu Si poured the real power into it, the whip shadow was stern, like the wind on the top of the cold sky, so that the tentacles were helpless, barely found the gap to invade, did not dare to approach, had to move the target, and look for the target of the attack. .

Zhang Song held a talisman in one hand and a sword in the other. After the fire of the talisman was lit, it popped out through the sword energy, and one group after another fell on the tentacle. , pressing step by step. Longhushan is rich and powerful, and Zhang Song is also a direct disciple of Neishan. No one knows how many runes he brought out this time. Although the fire runes he uses now are not as valuable as Shangqingdan, they are suitable for ordinary Taoist priests who have no connections. It is also valuable, if they see Zhang Song treating the fire talisman as a toy, they will scold the prodigal thing.

Tom slashed the tentacle with a knife and was panting from exhaustion. Looking back at Zhang Song, his eyes were straight.

"God, are you a magician, or a wizard who can play with fire!"

Zhang Song rolled his eyes: "I don't know, this is called a spell!"

Tom imitated his tone: "Talisman?"

Because of his distraction, a tentacle was patted, and half of his shoulder was almost hit. At the critical moment, Zhang Song pulled him and swung the tentacle away with his sword, but Zhang Song's tiger mouth was also numb from the shock.

Compared with Zhang Song's dazzling dazzling skills, Yang Shouyi seemed to be much more stable, but his attack was not weakened in the slightest, and it was more than enough to fight three tentacles alone.

Although everyone is safe under the attack of the tentacles, it is only temporary. As a giant monster, the owner of the tentacles is extremely powerful. Even a cultivator will struggle to face it. The drain will be faster, even if it only consumes time, the tentacles are enough to use up their stamina, and then easily destroy them.

Wearing thick gloves on the winter solstice, he jumped up on the brick wall, and climbed up through the gaps and vacancies between the bricks on the wall. He was very fast, and at first glance, he practiced climbing trees all day long on the roof of the Special Administration Bureau—— The wall was five or six meters high, and the winter solstice quickly climbed to the top of the wall. He turned on the flashlight and tried to find the body of the octopus monster.

The thief is the first to capture the king. If you want to stop the tentacles, you must completely deal with the octopus monster.

The light of the flashlight was limited, the huge body of the octopus was twisting and waving in the dark, and a large part of the city wall was covered by it. As far as the eye could see, the source of the tentacles could not be seen at all.

Winter Solstice didn't say a word, just jumped on one of the tentacles and grabbed it tightly with both hands. If the tentacle felt something, it swung hard in the air, trying to get rid of him, but Winter Solstice grabbed the sucker on the tentacle and moved up a little bit. Crawling, the monster couldn't get rid of him for a while.

Liu Qingbo was dumbfounded, but he couldn't stop it, so he could only follow the way of the winter solstice to grab the closest tentacle and climb up in the direction of the tentacle.

There is mucus on the tentacles, which is actually very slippery. If there are not those dense suction cups, it is impossible for people to grasp it, and the octopus waving the tentacles tossing it in the air, which has caused great obstacles to their actions. , Liu Qingbo's hands were sticky and slippery, and he almost spit out the fishy smell of the seafood itself.

"Your uncle's on the winter solstice, I'm wearing this outfit!" To let Liu Qingbo move in the air holding the tentacles of the octopus, holding his breath from time to time, for him, it was more uncomfortable than slashing him.

Winter Solstice ignored him. To be precise, Winter Solstice could no longer take care of Liu Qingbo. He moved to the end of his tentacles with difficulty. With the light of a flashlight, he saw a huge black shadow moving on the city wall more than ten meters away. The stature is huge, like a hill, which is rare in life.

In order to find the stone tablet before, in the underground river behind Liang Weiwei's tomb, they had also fought against three giant pythons, but compared with the behemoth in front of them, the three giant pythons seemed to be a little petite.

Solstice finds itself in a dilemma.

There is only a small part of the suction cup on the tentacles of the octopus. He has now climbed to the end of the suction cup. Further forward, it is a bare tentacle. Without the slightest friction, it is impossible for him to stabilize his body on it, let alone get close to the octopus monster. .

Lying on top of the octopus on the winter solstice, he was thrown up and down like a roller coaster. While thinking hard, Zhang Song "played" with his tentacles with a talisman below. His eyes lit up, and inspiration came suddenly. Out a bright light talisman, recite the mantra to hold the talisman, the talisman fire ignites, and throws it to the tentacles.

The octopus monster is extremely sensitive to fire. Almost at the moment of touching the talisman fire, the tentacles immediately retracted. The winter solstice was already prepared. He hugged the tentacles tightly and instantly experienced the feeling of sitting on a rocket.

Sure enough, while the tentacles retracted, he was getting closer and closer to the octopus monster!

You bet yourself!

Excited and nervous came to his mind, he clenched the long guard sword tightly, the flashlight had no idea where he had left it, and he could only judge how far he was from the octopus monster by feeling.

There was something faintly blocking in front of him, and the Winter Solstice was not sure, when a roar full of rage came from behind him.

"Winter Solstice, your grandma is a bear!"

The Winter Solstice felt that Liu Qingbo might be angry because he was not as smart.

Because he was angry with his uncle not long ago, and now he is angry with his grandmother. The Winter Solstice wants to tell him that whether his uncle or his grandmother died a long time ago, he can only go down to find it.

But as soon as the words came out, it became: "Lao Liu, turn on the flashlight and help me take a picture of the front!"

Liu Qingbo didn't have a talisman, so he couldn't use the fire to force the tentacles back like the winter solstice. He could only still hold the tentacles up and down in the air.

Too far apart, the light can only faintly shine a silhouette.

But this outline is enough!

The winter solstice saw a pair of dark, round eyes slowly rolling, and flashing away under the light of the flashlight, allowing him to instantly determine the direction of the octopus monster.

With a flick of the wrist, the Changshou sword turned into a sword light and flew towards the target. The sword was cold, like the dazzling starlight in the eternal night, which could break through all the prisons of darkness and finally reach the other side of the light.

The moment Jianguang came into contact with the octopus monster, he seemed to hear a shrill scream, not a substantive sound, but like a heavy hammer hammering a hole in his mind, causing the winter solstice body to shake violently, almost from mid-air. When it fell, the tentacles also vibrated and shook violently, waving in the air in a crazier arc, which seemed to reflect the huge pain in the master's body.

At the same time, not only the winter solstice, but an earth-shattering cry resounded in everyone's mind.

Liu Qingbo shook his hand, and the sword almost fell from his hand.

He subconsciously thought that the winter solstice was crying, but then he realized that it was not right. Such an impactful sound wave could not be sent by any human being.

Mom, this sound is too ugly!

He watched in disbelief as the tentacles he was hugging suddenly shrank sharply, and quickly shrank to be thinner than his sword. He couldn't hold it any longer and fell directly from the air.

The Winter Solstice was similar, but slightly better than Liu Qingbo. He just landed on the top of the wall. With the help of the buffer, he didn't fall so badly. The Long Shou Sword also fell from the air and was caught by the Winter Solstice.

The huge tentacles disappeared in an instant, and everyone was dumbfounded, not knowing what happened. Only the winter solstice was the closest, and vaguely guessing the truth, he hurriedly took out a flashlight from his pocket and took a few random shots.

It was good to be condescending, and he soon found a dark mass under the base of the other wall.

The thing moved slowly on the ground, and because one eyeball was blinded by the winter solstice, black blood flowed out, and a small mass fainted under the body.

The winter solstice stared at the octopus slightly larger than a slap, and it was hard to imagine that it was the octopus monster that swept almost all of them just now.

The cries of 嘤嘤嘤 continued in his mind. Whether it was the huge creature or the small and exquisite octopus in front of him, the cries were the same rough and unpleasant. Zhang Song couldn't bear it any longer and shouted loudly, "Don't cry!"

The little octopus really stopped crying, but the sound was still twitching, and everyone's temples seemed to be in pain.

"They lied to me, they said that the tentacles would be chopped the most, but they didn't say that even the eyeballs would be stabbed!"

The winter solstice found that the sound waves transmitted by the small octopus could actually be transformed into a concrete language into the mind. Although it was in English, it also showed that the octopus monster could communicate.

"Who are they?" he asked.

"I'm the one who brought me to this island," said the little octopus.

Winter Solstice's heart moved: "The organizing committee? They asked you to test us?"

Octopus: "Yeah, they said there's going to be a game here, ask me to come to this island to act as an obstacle, and they'll pay me when I'm done."

Winter Solstice: "What's the reward?"

The octopus twitched and said, "If you cut off a tentacle, they will pay me a ton of fish, but they didn't say what they would pay me if I was blinded!"

Crowd: ...

The author has something to say: let's end together first, and then start the Dragon Bureau, otherwise there will be suspense and let the Dragon Bureau fly for a while~

Small theater unrelated to the text:

Winter Solstice: Master, I brought you a special product back.

Long Shen: American specialty?

Solstice: No, seafood.

Long Shen: ? ? ?

Watching Chaosheng fly over: I want it!

Winter Solstice: ... It is born from the same root, so why is it too urgent to fry each other.
