A gray-robed wizard with a level three wizard level was flying through the sky in the sinkhole, constantly changing his direction of movement to avoid the many tentacle attacks of the energy octopus. But in the end, one of the tentacles caught up with him and slapped him on the surface of his body.
"Snapped!"
Multiple dazzling rays of light erupted from the surface of the wizard's body, and three energy shields were shattered in an instant. The wizard spat out a large mouthful of blood and flew out with a "pop" sound. He fell to the ground with a pale face and was seriously injured.
Witnessing this scene, the faces of the other wizards changed, and they realized more clearly the strength of the energy octopus - the energy octopus withstood the attacks of so many of them without any serious problems, and it could kill a wizard with just one blow. Most of the combat power, in this case, if the energy octopus attacks with all its strength, it may have the ability to kill any one of them instantly.
The wizard Nora pursed her lips, holding a small bottle of gray liquid in her hand, and Emerson's expression became solemn.
After the energy octopus succeeded in seriously injuring a wizard, it did not take advantage of the situation to pursue and finish the attack. Instead, it threw out a tentacle and rolled it around the chief judge Theodore Vick in the coffin, swallowing it in one gulp.
After finishing, six tentacles shot up, turned red, and stabbed fiercely, as if they were entering an unknown space. Then he pulled hard around, and a new "space hole" emitting white light appeared in the sinkhole. The energy octopus jumped up and drilled into it.
It turns out that the energy octopus is not planning to kill everyone in revenge, but just wants to get what it wants and return. Because this transaction experience was something he had never experienced before. In addition to being angry, he was more vigilant and did not want to stay a little longer to avoid an accident.
However, just when the energy octopus was about to get into the "space hole" and successfully escape, hundreds of "giant metal needles" standing on the edge of the sinkhole suddenly lit up, and dense milky white light shot out, hitting the "space hole" in the middle.
With a "pop", the "space hole" was broken and evaporated.
"Boom!"
The energy octopus leaping in mid-air watched helplessly as the "space hole" disappeared, its body crossed the highest point in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground. This time he did not use his mental fluctuations to make a sound, but directly let out a sharp, unknown scream.
"Ouch-whoosh-"
Afterwards, the energy octopus cast all its tentacles' eyes on the twelve wizards in the sinkhole.
The eleven normal wizards and one seriously injured wizard looked a little nervous. They were not sure about capturing the energy octopus after defeating it. They were not sure whether to continue fighting or to flee decisively.
At this time, a voice came out from the command hall next to the sinkhole, saying: "The target's strength exceeds expectations by more than 50%. Next, plan No. 4 will be implemented. Please ask the experimenters to leave. I will handle and capture it myself."
After hearing this, the twelve wizards looked at each other, no longer hesitated, and flew decisively towards the outside of the sinkhole.
Naturally, the energy octopus would not agree. He spotted the severely injured wizard, quickly caught up with him, and threw out his tentacles.
Seeing that the severely injured wizard was about to suffer, the tentacles thrown out by the energy octopus suddenly stopped, as if they were burned, and quickly retracted, alertly seeing a figure appearing above him out of thin air.
The man was wearing a light gray robe and looked very young. He had a pair of eyes that seemed to see through everything. He was just suspended in the air, but he had the pressure of a mountain.
It was Richard.
Due to the appearance of Richard, the seriously injured wizard successfully escaped from danger and left the sinkhole with Emerson and his party. Standing on the edge of the sinkhole, he looked at Richard briefly, bowed his head slightly as a signal, and then without saying anything else, he quickly walked aside to do other things.
Richard, who was suspended in mid-air, looked away from Emerson and his group, and looked at the energy octopus with its tentacles curled up.
Mental fluctuations came out, and Richard said to the energy octopus: "I know you are angry because we violated the trading principles, but after all, you got the trading items, which are sacrifices, so logically, you always have to pay something. OK."
"What... do you want?" the energy octopus responded warily.
"It's very simple. Let me study you for ten years." Richard said, "Ten years is a short time for a life like yours. I think this is a fair deal."
"If it was fair, you wouldn't have violated your principles from the beginning. Now I don't think anything you said is correct!" The energy octopus responded unceremoniously, "From the beginning, the purpose of your sacrifice to me was Just force me to make an unfair deal, and I will never allow such a deal to be made!"
"brush!"
The energy octopus waved out all its curled-up tentacles and struck at Richard.
Richard's expression condensed, and he raised his hand to form a purple energy shield with a diameter of more than one meter in front of him.
"Bah bang bang!"
The tentacles hit the surface of the energy shield, which is powerful enough to seriously injure a third-level wizard or even a fourth-level wizard, but at this moment it can only cause ripples in the energy shield.
Seeing this, the energy octopus realized that Richard's strength was far beyond what the previous experimenters could match. The many eyes on the tentacles blinked together, and the pupils of hundreds of eyes turned red, and a sulfurous smell burst out from them. The fiery red light suddenly hit the energy shield.
"Click!"
The energy shield shook, and dense cracks appeared, looking a little unsustainable.
But just before it shattered, Richard moved his feet, and his whole body quickly turned transparent. He reappeared a few seconds later, already behind the energy octopus.
"call-"
Richard let out a breath, raised his hands, and a ball of golden light quickly emerged between his hands. It seemed that he was preparing a very powerful spell to inflict heavy damage to the energy octopus.
The energy octopus sensed the danger, but did not rush to retract its tentacles to stop it, nor did it turn around. Instead, it dropped all its tentacles downwards, exposing its complete body and trunk.
Behind the torso, in the center of the back, the amber energy suddenly separated, and a slender, nearly one-meter-large eye protruded from inside.
The huge eyes were gray-green, with a strange dark red color on the pupils. He looked directly at Richard, and then a wave of energy full of old energy burst out.
The air hummed as it was squeezed invisible, and the surrounding solid sinkhole floor sank downwards. The metal platform not far away seemed to have experienced hundreds of years in an instant, with the surface becoming rusty and the whole body becoming crumbling. Amidst the harsh sound, the red and rusty mechanical arms fell one by one, fell off, smashed to the ground and broke into pieces. Then with a "crash", the entire metal platform collapsed.
Richard, who was close at hand, was the most affected. He saw that Richard's body stiffened, and the golden light in his hands suddenly dimmed, flickered a few times, and disappeared with a "pop". Afterwards, Richard seemed to have received some mental shock. His eyes widened uncontrollably and his mouth opened into a round shape.
