After the water level in the sea monster's belly receded gradually, the place under its feet became like a swamp, with deep or shallow puddles everywhere. The whole person may fall into the pit.
In the process of advancing, the fat old man fell into it three times, and almost drowned in it each time. In the end, Lin Tianyin couldn't see it anymore, and couldn't help persuading: "I said, Grandpa Gruni, it's not a problem for you to go on like this... We have to enter the Demon King's City later, and we may not really be able to escape. I think it would be better for you to stay with the others."
"No, never!" Gruni stood with difficulty under the support of others, his white and fat complexion was flushed at this time, but he stared at Lin Tianyin refusing to give in and shouted loudly, "I don't want to spend the rest of my life in Spend here! I... I have to go out and hug my daughter again! I figured it out... After I go out, I will definitely bring Ilya and her mother to Wangcheng to live with me! I am no longer afraid of the mother at home. It's Yasha!"
"Hey, don't say such things, it's like a soldier said something like 'Go back to your hometown after this battle' and get married, the death flag has already been set up." Lin Tianyin yawned heartlessly. Tucao Road.
"Shut up, shut up! You uneducated stinking brat!" Gruni blew his beard and stared in anger, turned his head and shouted at Celil and Leo, "If you can ensure that I get out safely, I, I will divide my property Half of you!"
"..." Leo gave him a cold look, completely ignoring the stupid old man. As if he didn't hear it at all, Celier grabbed the monkey from Lin Tianyin and began to pull it around in circles.
"What is your reaction!!!"
"The short answer is that none of us are guaranteed to leave alive."
Ge Luni was about to go crazy, Lin Tianyin sighed helplessly, she was the most honest, and explained to the old man expressionlessly, "We decided to leave because we risked our lives... This is not a joke, and No one can guarantee anything. We can only try our best to do what we can do, and we are still in Area D, and there is still time to go back. Grandpa, you have thought about it clearly, do you really want to go with us?"
"..."
Lin Tianyin's words were like pouring cold water on his head, making Ge Luni calm down immediately. He who was full of momentum just now was like a deflated ball, and his whole appearance became very depressed. Looking at the old man's appearance, Lin Tianyin could somewhat understand his mood, but asking him to go to the Demon King City with him was courting death, and the rest of the exploration team who led them the way also meant the same thing. down.
Gruni didn't know if he had listened to the others' words. He lowered his head and was depressed for less than a minute, but suddenly, as if he had made a decision, he pushed away the two people who were supporting him, clenched his fists and raised his head, roaring.
"Then... so what!! Old man, I will leave here even if I die! I don't have many years to live! If I walk with you bastards, I might have a chance to meet my daughter Elijah... If I stay Come down... there will be no chance again!! I know you may regret it if you go together, but if I stay today, I will regret it for the rest of my life!!!!"
The tearful old man shouted hoarsely, and his words echoed in the slightly silent space. Everyone was slightly surprised by Gruni's reaction, but Leo still gave him a cold look. At this time, Eugene, the captain of the exploration team, nodded. His expression was still serious, but he said to Gruni in a slightly encouraging tone: "You will definitely see your daughter. If you go out, please tell my boss for me." Greetings from my friend Malev Shuronig. Before I came here, he was the head of the Knights. Now he should abdicate to his son... He must have thought I was dead too, I hope that guy is still alive. "
"Of course! It's on me!!" Gruni and Eugene made an agreement, and he clapped Eugene vigorously, making a promise. At this time, the old man looked very majestic, like the protagonist in a comic.
"In this case, try not to die, old man." Celier grinned, showing his white teeth.
This kind of scene is really unbearable... It's obviously just a Mary Sue story with various irrational logic settings, so what are you doing so passionately? My eyes seem to be sweating, bastard!
"...don't be so wordy! Let's go!"
Lin Tianyin turned her face away in a hurry, she didn't know what to say at this time. I hate people who are so old, is it really good to be like this? !
"Don't walk too fast, your feet will slip easily." Youjin warned Lin Tianyin, who ran to the front of the team, and Lin Tianyin walked faster. She didn't answer aloud, but she made up her mind secretly.
Ever since she was forced to become the cannon fodder villain of this story, Lin Tianyin has been trapped in anxiety and fear. She's afraid of the prince, she's afraid of the devil, she's afraid of Mirona—but what is she really afraid of? Lin Tianyin suddenly didn't understand, was it her own fate
No... why should I be afraid? As the protagonist, there will be a halo of the protagonist, but aren't these people who are not the protagonists also working hard? It would be too ridiculous to give up the struggle with a so-called "established destiny". Didn't she stand up and resist because she didn't want to accept the fate of the character Shanoya
Even if there is no natural beauty and good luck, everyone here is not limited in their actions because of the stories set by the author. They are all living and flesh-and-blood people with their own independent thinking consciousness and judgment!
On the contrary, she is the one who is restricted... After reading the original book, I feel that the story is already like that, so subconsciously think that I can't do anything
Thinking of this, Lin Tianyin suddenly felt enlightened. She just cared too much about Mirona, that's why she didn't see her true direction! So from now on, Lin Tianyin won't be afraid anymore, she decides to move forward according to her own wishes, even if there is no hope in the future, the so-called awareness is to open up a path by herself!
All the people who have their own concerns are hesitating at this moment, and the pace of progress begins to gradually increase. Because after the sea water receded, the saber-tooth fish corpses that had not returned to the water in time were scattered all over the ground in area D. Since they had just died not long ago, they could be roasted and eaten directly, saving the trouble of finding food. After walking through the channel formed by the sea monster's flesh wall for nearly a whole day, they finally came to a black hole with a white opaque diaphragm.
"That's Area C over there." Holding a torch, Eugene explained to Lin Tianyin and the others, "This layer is a partition membrane. Although I don't know why it appeared, it can indeed effectively prevent the invasion of high-level monsters. Even if It's those ferocious monsters, they can't pass through this membrane when they are alive, on the contrary, those weak monsters will be washed in with the sea water."
As he said that, Eugene suddenly held up the torch, as if being sucked in, the whole person directly passed through the membrane.
Lin Tianyin was a little stunned, and felt very novel in her heart, so she planned to pass along with her.
But just when she raised her foot and was about to take a step, she suddenly heard a scream from the other end.
"No—how can there be an emperor octopus here!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Eugene's screams caught everyone off guard, and several members of the exploration team turned blue when they heard the sound, and even their legs trembled involuntarily.
"The emperor octopus... Isn't that the monster hiding in the darkness of Area A! Why did it appear in Area C..."
"Captain Eugene was caught! He told us not to go there... What should we do?!"
"What else can we do? Of course, go and save him. If you are afraid, just stay where you are." Without thinking, Lin Tianyin picked up the harpoon and rushed directly to the film. At this moment, she didn't know why the members of the exploration team were so frightened, wasn't it just an octopus monster? Is this so frightening that even the captain dare not rescue him
However, the moment Lin Tianyin passed through the white membrane, she suddenly understood why those people were so afraid.
This emperor octopus... is bigger than a pirate ship! !
Eugene's whole body was rolled up by the octopus' tentacles, and he struggled hard while stabbing the octopus with the spear in his hand. But this gap is too great, his attack can't cause effective damage to the big octopus, and this kind of provocative attack can only irritate the monster, it seems that it is not in a hurry to eat Eugene, but is waving The tentacles smashed Eugene hard to the ground.
"Stop! You bastard!"
Lin Tianyin immediately rushed towards the octopus angrily, but at the same time she suddenly felt a sharp murderous aura coming from behind. She looked back subconsciously, and next to Celil who was following up with her, she saw Leo, a beautiful boy who seemed to be 159 tall like her, swung his sword coldly.
The sword light flickered in the darkness, the fierce sword energy cut through the air, and even cut off the tentacles of the octopus wrapped around Eugene with one blow.
sharp! !
Lin Tianyin was immediately taken aback. Not many people in the original book could use this trick "Empty Breaking Slash" proficiently. Lin Tianyin remembered that in the original book, apart from the Juggernaut, only princes could use such excellent skills. She seemed to underestimate the governor's son. Didn't expect there to be such a talent in the stomach of this sea monster? !
After one of its tentacles was severed, the octopus monster was instantly enraged. It left Eugene angrily, and crawled towards Lin Tianyin and the others with claws and teeth. Lin Tianyin quickly clenched her fists and was about to rush forward to fight, when Leo suddenly passed by her side like an afterimage, and rushed towards the giant sea monster head-on.
"Get in the way! Get out of the way!"
Leo didn't seem to want to cooperate at all, and in fact he didn't need help from others. The speed of this boy was the fastest that Lin Tianyin had ever seen. He moved left and right and jumped up several times in a row, while dodging the tentacle attack of the octopus monster, while swinging his sword rapidly. Those sword lights made a fierce tearing sound in the air, just like cutting vegetables, cutting off several tentacles of the monster effortlessly.
This, this is really... amazing...
Lin Tianyin thought that even she couldn't decide the outcome with the monster in front of her so quickly. Leo seemed to have a good sword, but obviously his skills were better. Even Celier was a little surprised by the boy's performance. Finally, when Lin Tianyin saw the boy jumping up and drawing his sword to stab the emperor octopus' eyeball, she thought that the victory had been decided. However, the octopus monster suddenly moved its mouth, and stared at the beautiful boy swinging the sword at it with terrifyingly dark eyes.
At this moment, Eugene seemed to have noticed something. He was still trapped in the squirming tentacles, and while trying to struggle, he yelled at Leo, "Be careful! Its ink is poisonous!"
"!!"
Leo froze for a moment, but Eugene's reminder was too late, they ignored the most important point, the octopus had puffed up its mouth, and sprayed black ink all over Leo's body.
