Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible

On the plain lakes, apart from the fierce fighting on the lake shore, the center of the lake is where the most intense battlefield is.

Just like the mountain snapping turtle before, this lake also has a corresponding lord-level creature, which is a giant octopus whose size is no less than that of a snapping turtle.

God knows how a sea creature like an octopus survives in this inland freshwater lake, but in these hours of battle, this strange life with 3 hearts and 9 brains perfectly demonstrated own strength.

The good news is that it doesn't have the ultimate defense and range-to-cover attacks of the entire lake like the snapping turtle, but the bad news is that it has near-indestructible self-healing ability and supreme intelligence.

This makes it unlike the snapping turtle, which can use tactics to kill it directly from its weak point, but fortunately, Xu Yue is not fighting alone now, he has an entire legion.

At this time, the water in the center of the lake was rolling, and a huge, round octopus poked its head out of the lake. Around it were eight thick arms and legs tens of meters long. The arms and legs rose into the sky like eight giant pythons, beating and waving in the air. Smash.

The heavy force stirred up fierce wind pressure. Just from the roaring hurricane and the whining roar caused by the overwhelmed airflow, you can see how powerful this big octopus is.

In the airspace shrouded by the eight arms and legs that were constantly beating, Xu Yue and seven male ants were walking through it, avoiding the vigorous swings of the arms and legs while accumulating strength to counterattack.

The hurricane roared in his ears, and a huge shadow came towards him. Xu Yue swung his halberd horizontally, and the broad end of the halberd wrapped in flames met the octopus arm and foot that was smashed. There was a loud sound in the air, and the flesh and blood on the arm and foot were Large areas bloomed, and blue blood spattered freely.

With just one blow, there was a vicious wound several meters wide on the arm and foot, as if it had been bitten by a wild beast. The cross-section was uneven. Although the halberd failed to completely break the entire arm and foot, nearly half of the area was. All reduced to hollows.

Although the arm and foot were seriously injured, the other side was not easy either. The violent reaction force poured into the body through the halberd. Xu Yue was directly knocked away by this swing. That was the limit of 50 points. A strength that cannot be easily countered by its attributes.

After flying upside down for more than ten meters uncontrollably, the metal wings behind his back flapped continuously, and then he managed to regain his balance in the air. Blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth. He glanced at his health, which was less than 50%, and Xu Yue pulled the hanging The yellow-skinned gourd at the waist, takes a big gulp of the sweet ant honey contained inside.

The blow just now knocked out nearly 8% of his health. Every time he collided with the arms and legs, there would be a strange force that penetrated his organs. It was hard to prevent him. This was just one arm. If eight arms and legs attacked at the same time, then No need to fight at all.

Feeling that the bone-chilling pain in his chest was quickly dissipating, Xu Yue turned the halberd in his hand into a magic knife. His eyes swept across the seven arms and legs that were entangled with different male ants, and finally landed on the one he had just struck. On the severely injured wrist and foot.

In just a few breaths, the opponent's gushing blood has been completely stopped, and the flesh and blood has grown rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Now the huge wound cavity has been filled more than half, and this recovery efficiency even far exceeds A Wolverine clone previously encountered in the X-Men universe: X-24.

The wings on his back vibrated vigorously, and the hurricane swept along with the flames. Driven by the two forces, Xu Yue turned into a beam of fire and shot out. The magic knife in his hand pointed directly at the huge arms and legs that were stiff due to the healing of the flesh and blood.

Before the line of fire was approaching, the scorching heat attracted the attention of the arms and legs in advance. With its accessory brain, it could be regarded as an independent living body. It did not need orders from the main brain located on the head of the octopus. The arms and legs were already aiming in the direction of the line of fire. Smashed down brazenly.

The two kept approaching at an extremely fast speed, and when they were about to collide, the line of fire deftly passed through the wound gap on the wrist and foot that had not yet been completely healed. The two sides staggered past, and a coquettish purple sword light flashed in the air. And passed away.

The sword light dissipated, and the octopus head located in the center of the lake let out an angry roar. One of its arms and legs slowly split from the middle, revealing a smooth mirror-like section and the flesh and blood inside that were constantly spasming and squirming. The broken limbs smashed Falling onto the lake surface, a large splash of water exploded, and at this time, the section of the arm and foot began to spurt out a huge amount of blue blood like a fountain.

"Damn the old people, you ants, you will perish forever under the malice of the gods."

Sound waves that were like real objects reverberated over the entire lake, and a vicious gaze stared at the line of fire flying in mid-air.

The line of fire stopped, and Xu Yue's figure was revealed amidst the flames all around him. Sensing the malice coming from the lake, he lowered his eyes and looked down, with murderous intent in his eyes. The skin of this big octopus was very thick, and when the blade crossed it, there was A kind of blocking feeling when cutting thick cowhide.

However, with the sharpness of Blackjack, the Thousand Blades of the Demonic Sword can still cut off the arms and legs smoothly, it just requires more effort. To deal with such a giant creature that can heal itself quickly, the cutting of the Thousand Blades of the Demonic Sword is much harder than for example. The violence of Tian Hua Ji is more practical.

If he were alone, even with the support of the corps, he would never be the opponent of this big octopus. But now with the restraint and assistance of seven male ants, as long as he spends some time, he can always cut off the opponent's eight arms and legs. .

Shaking his numb right arm, Xu Yuegang wanted to continue attacking, but the big octopus below had already taken the lead in going crazy. Although the severed arms and legs would soon grow back, its attack power was indeed reduced by eight-eighths in a short period of time. First, this bad tendency makes it truly feel a fatal threat.

Under the roaring wind pressure, the remaining seven intact arms and legs gave up on the still entangled male ants and whizzed towards Xu Yue from all directions.

The huge shadow cast by the arms and legs and the subtle sting of the beast's intuition instantly spread throughout the body, sweeping across the seven terrifying flesh pillars around him. Xu Yue's expression changed, and he had no intention of fighting with them.

The wings on his back quickly closed into a streamlined metal shuttle, and a large amount of golden and red flames spurted out from the soles of his feet. Before his arms and legs closed, he turned into a beam of fire and shot into the sky.

"唷!!"

The high-pitched cry of the phoenix sounded in the air. Within the circle formed by seven giant flesh pillars, a golden red flame bird flew high quickly. When it was about to completely escape the siege, one of its arms and legs suddenly accelerated and struck hard. The position of the tail end of the flame bird.

The two collided, and a harsh metal knocking sound was heard. The outer flame bird was directly smashed into little flames and scattered, while the inner metal shuttle was also drawn into the tail, rolled and thrown away under the action of huge force. Although his posture was a bit embarrassing, he still managed to escape from the stranglehold of these octopus arms and legs.

In the sky, the tumbling metal shuttle unfolded, and the wide and rapidly flapping wings allowed Xu Yue to successfully maintain his balance after continuing to roll for several times. He shook his groggy head and looked down.

The moment he was whipped away by the combined force of his arms and legs, the other male ants on the battlefield quickly reacted. They pounced fiercely on the corresponding arm and legs, successfully dragging him down with a desperate style.

The ants will always almost suffer heavy losses due to their own incompetence, which is an absolute shame for the male ants. Now this kind of anger fills their hearts, making their fighting style become a little aggressive without knowing it.

"General, are you seriously injured?"

"nothing."

Xing Hei's concerned voice sounded in his mind. Xu Yue shook his head lightly and swallowed the sweet taste in his throat. He looked down at the male ants that had begun to actively embrace their arms and legs and attack crazily, and continued:

"Xing Hai, tell the other male ants not to fight hard, just help me contain these arms and legs, and leave the rest to me."

"yes!"

The sound transmission in his mind disappeared, and Xu Yue raised his hand to wipe away the dark blood stains at the corner of his mouth. The Xiaoyun Longbow appeared in his hand, and his eyes looking at the arms and legs below were full of cold murderous intent.

"call out!"

A subtle whistle spread in the sky. The thick arms and legs in mid-air had firmly bound a careless male ant. Just when he was about to pull it completely into the lake, a beam of golden light quietly fell from the sky, accurately. It hit the middle of the arm and foot, and then exploded.

The bright golden red flame suddenly exploded on the wrists and feet. The flame dissipated, leaving a charred irregular pit on the spot. Near the pit, the boiling pure Yangyan was spreading along the flesh and blood, and the tough skin film It sizzled under the terrifying high temperature, and the golden oil continued to seep out and evaporate quickly.

Severe pain spread rapidly from the burning area, and the entire arm began to twitch uncontrollably. The ends of the curled arm also relaxed, allowing the bound male ant to successfully escape from the restraint.

Ignoring the escaping male ants, the assistant brain hidden inside the arms and legs was screaming crazily. Now it just wanted to quickly retract into the lake and use the lake water to extinguish the damn flames like gangrene attached to the bones.

But when it just started to retract, another beam of fire rushed down from the side, the two intertwined, and the sword light flashed, just like the situation a few minutes ago.

Amidst the furious roar of the big octopus, its other arm once again met the tragic end of being severed in two.

"Ant tribe, you are hunting the children of Poseidon. When the ocean submerges the land, you ants will fall into eternal silence!"

Ignoring the threat from the fierce and lustful man below, Xu Yue learned a lesson this time. After taking the opportunity to cut off his arms and legs, he quickly raised his body, giving the lake lord no chance to fight back.

This offensive idea is so profound that one hit can travel thousands of miles away, and it also gives full play to the powerful mobility of the wings behind it.

"The smell of charcoal-grilled octopus tentacles, this guy is quite fragrant."

Suspended quietly in the sky, gently smelling the rich fragrance remaining on his body, Xu Yue slightly raised the corners of his lips, pointed the long bow in his hand downwards, and drew it again.

At this point, this big octopus was basically doomed. It was just a matter of the length of time. Although the first arm that was severed not long ago had been mostly restored at this time, under the cooperation of Xu Yue and seven male ants, it was strangled. No matter how fast the growth rate is, it is no match for instantaneous destruction. This exaggerated self-healing ability cannot save it. It will only make the octopus experience more pain and cannot change the final outcome at all.

More than an hour later, the current lake battle has come to an end. The lake surface and shore are covered with countless corpses of water creatures. The entire lake is half filled with falling rocks and various debris. As for the lord in the lake The super giant octopus, after nearly twenty arms and legs were cut off by Xu Yue, its self-healing ability has been weakened to the point where it cannot take effect.

The fear of death made it afraid to continue fighting. As early as twenty minutes ago, it hid at the bottom of the lake with its only three arms and legs like a shrunken turtle. However, this was just a survival like hiding one's ears and stealing the bell. After being captured in the lake, Surrounded by a swarm of ants, it will eventually die.

On the blood-filled lake, Xu Yue and Xuan Jun were suspended quietly in mid-air, while other male ants were dispersed into various soldier ant formations, commanding the soldier ants to strangle the remaining aquatic creatures, and continuously divert the water to fill the lake. .

"General, it will take about an hour and a half to complete the transfer of the entire lake. By then, the octopus hiding at the bottom of the lake will have no chance of survival."

"Um."

Looking at the progress of the soldier ants below, Xu Yue nodded lightly, and then continued:

"Can that octopus be caught alive?"

"Yes, there is a very paralyzing toxin in the legion. Injecting a large amount of it will keep this big octopus in a state of weakness. However, based on the opponent's self-healing ability, this state should not last long."

After listening to Xuan Jun's words, Xu Yue waved his hands indifferently and said:

"It's enough to paralyze it for a period of time. After the lake is cleared, just cut off all the arms and legs of the octopus. Without the arms and legs, it is just a piece of fat with no power to fight back. After paralysis, drag it back An ant nest is maintained.”

"In order to ripen a large number of soldier ants within five days, our queen ant is in urgent need of a batch of fresh and high-quality flesh and blood. The powerful self-healing power of this lord-level octopus can make it a very powerful ant." Good ingredients.”

Turning his head to look at the more than twenty giant arms and legs that had been salvaged from the shore, Xuan Jun beside him nodded in agreement.

"You really need good ingredients. Your Majesty the Ant Queen will definitely like this gift."

After finishing his words, Xu Yuegang wanted to continue to say something, but his movements suddenly stopped. He quickly raised his head and looked up into the sky. He saw an extremely obvious white line in the distance crossing the sky. When he zoomed in, he saw that the white line was exactly The large shuttle that had previously picked up and dropped off their group of trialists.

"Xuanjun, I'll leave the lake to you. I'll be back within an hour and a half."

After saying that, without waiting for Xuan Jun to reply, he flapped his wings and flew quickly towards the edge of the lake shore.

"Xing Hai, take ten thousand soldiers and ants and set out with me!"

"Yes, General!"

After a while, the gluttons who had just had a meal jumped out of the ant tide, and Xu Yue led a phalanx of soldier ants to rush out in the distance.

…………

Above the mysterious island, inside the large shuttle.

The octopus head as the driver is looking down through the porthole. Viewed from a height, the entire mysterious island is like an emerald embedded in the blue ocean, which is particularly breathtaking.

But now there are a few particularly obvious black spots on the gem. Wherever the black spots pass, the emerald green of the gem is also diminished, and at the other end, little yellow spots begin to spread quietly.

After seeing the scene below clearly, the octopus head raised his eyebrows in surprise and let out a light sigh.

"Why is the group hunting advanced? If I remember correctly, it's only the fourth day now, right?"

"Tsk, no matter what the reason is, these little dwarfs have to endure it, hahaha..."

After laughing a few times with gloating, the octopus head seemed to have thought of something again, and the smile on his face suddenly faded.

"Wait a minute, the difficulty has suddenly increased. These little dwarfs won't all be dead, right? Well, it shouldn't be..."

Thinking of a bad possibility, his expression immediately turned gloomy.

"Hiss~"

"No, I'd better drop some good stuff next time in the airdrop, so as not to implicate me later."

Having said that, after feeling that he was almost in the same position, he aimed at the red button at hand and punched it. There was a muffled sound from the bottom of the shuttle, and a missile-style metal cabin detached from the ship and headed towards the ground like a meteorite. Hit the mysterious island hard.

After watching the airdrop gradually disappear from sight, and making sure that its landing point did not deviate from the island, the octopus head in the cockpit turned its gaze and unconsciously landed on a blue disk in the center of the island.

Overlooking the white temple in the center of the lake, the octopus head's eyes were a little complicated. After several changes of emotions, it finally settled on a light disdain.

"Oh, gods..."

……………

Below, when the shuttle appeared over the mysterious island, pairs of greedy eyes appeared from all over the island, locking on the shuttle.

Waiting until a 'meteorite' fell from the bottom of the shuttle, the emotions contained in these eyes finally reached its peak. One after another figures ran out of their hiding places and quickly approached the direction where the meteorite landed.

"MD, the airdrop is finally here. I must get it this time. I almost vomit after eating bird eggs every day."

"There must be water in the airdrop. Most of the water in this shitty place has that bullshit mysterious factor. I'm tired of collecting dew."

"Quick, quick, quick, this airdrop must be mine!"
