Longevity from Liao Zhai

Chapter 146 Octopus Monster

Zhou Ping looked at the two motionless red dots on the panel, holding the vajra in his left hand and the Thousand Blades Demon Sword in his right hand.

The ghost bride cast a spell that created a faint gray aura on Zhou Ping's body.

The gray gas is the shield that the ghost bride adds to Zhou Ping, which can withstand certain attacks.

On Zhou Ping's panel, the two red dots did not move.

A red dot represents Zhao Tiancheng, who is not sure whether to live or die.

There is also a red dot representing Yue Yun Peak. Half an hour ago, the red dot had not moved.

Zhou Ping guessed that Yue Yunfeng and Wu Dage had encountered difficulties, so they stayed at the next level.

After making all the necessary preparations, Zhou Ping entered the next level. The ghost bride came out and protected Zhou Ping.

Just as Zhou Ping guessed, there was a fierce battle going on here!
This is a body of water! The water is up to the knees.

On the water surface, Wu Da Ge fell to the ground and vomited blood. A toad floated beside him, its life or death unknown.

Yue Yunfeng and the female zombie are fighting against a strange monster.

The monster had a human head but no eyes, and had octopus-like tentacles growing in the water.

And its lower body in the water was actually a fish tail.

The monster moved very quickly in the water. It dived into the water, then suddenly emerged, and then used the beard on its mouth to bite off one of the female zombie's arms.

"No, you damned beast!" Yue Yunfeng was furious. He didn't expect this level to be so difficult.

The monster itself is not very strong, but there is water here, so it limits the combat power of zombies and humans.

The monster shuttles back and forth in the water and is difficult to catch.

The monster tore off one of the female zombie's arms and then dived into the water.

Zhou Ping closed his eyes, because with the perception of the Heavenly Spirit Method, he could know where the monster was.

The monster rushed towards Wu Dage.

Wu Da Ge only felt someone pulling his feet in the water, and then he sank into the water.

In the water, a slippery body pressed on Wu Dage, and a tentacle wrapped around Wu Dage's neck. He felt like he was about to suffocate to death.

When Wu Dage and Yue Yunfeng entered this level, they started fighting with the monster. They fought for half an hour and their magic weapons and spiritual power were almost used up.

Just when Wu Dage was about to die, the tentacles on his body began to loosen their restraints and quickly escape.

Wu Dage surfaced and breathed in the air frantically.

He looked at Zhou Ping and suddenly felt at ease.

The exit of the secret realm.

In the past two days, there are many more people at the exit of the secret book.

As the news of the secret realm spread, not only cultivators from Qianzhou City came, but people from the other nine counties also came.

After all, the value of a piece of storage jade is really too great.

And at the entrance to the secret realm, the most conspicuous person is Meng Jiusheng!

Meng Jiusheng is a third-grade cultivator! His cultivation is the highest among those present.

Wu Laosan stood respectfully beside Meng Jiusheng: "Meng Ru, why are you here?"

Meng Jiusheng snorted coldly: "You almost killed me."

Meng Jiusheng told Wu Laosan about the public outrage, which frightened him greatly. He had never expected that a student's position would cause such a big incident.

"I didn't think this through!" Wu Lao San sighed. He didn't care what happened to Meng Jiusheng, Zhou Ping had already entered the secret realm.

Meng Jiusheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately Zhou Ping worked hard and wrote such a great poem! Otherwise, my fame would be ruined!"

Meng Jiusheng came to the secret realm to find Zhou Ping. Such a good talent must be worshipped as a teacher.

Perhaps in history, Meng Jiusheng will leave a mark because he is Zhou Ping's teacher!
So Meng Jiusheng must recruit Zhou Ping as his student!
Wu Laosan didn't know what happened in Qinghe County yet, so he asked, "What's the best poem in the world?"

Meng Jiusheng was too lazy to explain: "When will they come out!"

Wu Laosan hesitated for a moment and said, "The secret realm is too dangerous, it's hard to say for sure! In the past few days, at least thousands of people have entered, and not many have come out alive."

Meng Jiusheng asked nervously: "What about Zhou Ping? Will he be in danger?"

Wu Laosan nodded: "He is just an eighth-rank escort. There are many people who are more powerful than him. Many people died in there. I think he is also very dangerous."

Meng Jiusheng slapped his thigh and said, "Damn it, why did I use the qualification of a Tongsheng to make a deal with him! This kid is really stupid. He wrote a peerless poem. Even if he doesn't enter the secret realm, he can still get the position of a Tongsheng."

Meng Jiusheng was really worried that Zhou Ping would die in the secret realm. This would be a huge loss for the literary world of Wei!
"Send someone to rescue him quickly." Meng Jiusheng urged.

Wu Laosan said: "Mengru, they went in to rescue people. Mr. Zhao's troops are strong and are also trapped inside."

Meng Jiusheng then remembered that Zhou Ping went in to save people!

"What should we do? Is there anyone else in your Wu family?" Meng Jiusheng said.

Wu Lao San sighed and said, "Meng Ru, all the good players of the younger generation of our Wu family are in there. We really can't find anyone else."

Meng Jiusheng said with a frown: "You mean Zhou Ping is likely to have died in there."

Wu Laosan hesitated for a moment before saying, "The ones with Zhou Ping are Yue Yunfeng and Wu Da Ge."

"Wu Da Ge is the most talented person among the younger generation of the Wu family. He is already at the seventh rank and he lowered his cultivation level to enter the secret realm."

"There is also Yue Yunfeng. Although he is from a different family, he is also extremely talented, even better than Wu Da Ge."

"These two are the best among the younger generation. If they are not good enough, anyone who goes in will die."

Wu Laosan explained.

Among the younger generation, Wu Dage and Yue Yunfeng are the most powerful.

If these two people cannot escape from the secret realm alive even if they join forces, then Wu Laosan feels that no one can escape from the secret realm alive.

Meng Jiusheng nodded: "You mean the two people who accompanied Zhou Ping in are already the best in the industry? If they can't survive, then the others can't survive either?"

Wu Laosan nodded heavily.

"If these two are the best, why does Zhou Ping protect them?" Meng Jiusheng was a little confused. What can a bodyguard do?
Wu Laosan also asked Wu Dage this question, and Wu Dage’s answer was: ghost bride.

"Ghost bride, there is a ghost bride beside the escort." Wu Lao San said, "The ghost bride is very fierce, she will play a big role in the secret realm."

Meng Jiusheng got goose bumps all over his body. He didn't expect that Zhou Ping would be followed by such an evil thing.

In the half-water room, the tentacle monster was about to strangle Wu Da Ge, and Zhou Ping used the vajra to help him finish it off.

The tentacle monster that was hit let go of Wu Dage in pain and dived into the water.

The water surface returned to a rare calm.

"Zhou Ping, thank you very much." Wu Dage said with lingering fear.

Zhou Ping nodded slightly. In his perception, the tentacle monster was always wandering underwater, and it was a little afraid of the vajra in Zhou Ping's hand.

On the other side, Yue Yunfeng was looking at the broken arm of the female zombie and crying bitterly.

Zhou Ping looked towards the exit. The exit was on the wall and there was no mechanism. He didn't understand why the two people didn't leave.

Wu Da Ge picked up the toad from the water, gave it artificial respiration, and then quickly explained: "The monster is very fast. If we try to enter or exit, it will pull us back."

Zhou Ping quickly understood why the two of them couldn't get past this level!
No matter how fast the monster is, as long as someone can hold it back, the remaining person can escape.

But the problem is that the person left behind will definitely be in great danger and may very likely die at the hands of the monster.

In this situation, neither Wu Da Ge nor Yue Yunfeng would be willing to make sacrifices. Even if the monster entangled with one of them, as long as the other did not entangle the monster, the monster would pull back the one who wanted to escape.

"You go first." Zhou Ping clenched his big hands and pulled Wu Dage out of the water.

Wu Dage was originally short in stature, so he was easily caught in Zhou Ping's hands and then thrown towards the exit.

A tentacle stretched out from the water and shot towards Wu Dage, trying to pull Wu Dage back into the water.

Zhou Ping lightly swung the magic knife Thousand Blades in his hand, and the knife energy immediately cut the tentacle into two sections.

"Ow."

After a scream, the tentacles retracted into the water.

On the other side, Yue Yunfeng had already sent the female zombie and the coffin to the exit.

But Yue Yunfeng did not escape. A copper coin sword appeared in his hand, and the copper coins scattered into the water.

Yue Yunfeng actually dived into the water and groped for something in the water.

In Zhou Ping's perception, Yue Yunfeng actually found the tentacle monster, then wrapped his legs around the monster's waist, and inserted his two fingers into swords directly into the tentacle monster's belly.

The tentacle monster screamed, and its stomach was cut open.

Immediately afterwards, Yue Yunfeng groped in the tentacle monster's belly and actually pulled out a broken arm.

However, the tentacles from the tentacle monster kept stabbing into Yue Yunfeng's body. Yue Yunfeng's face was covered with scars and there was a hole on his body.

Zhou Ping was stunned. He didn't know the strength of the tentacle monster, so he didn't dare to approach it rashly.

"This is too brave!" Zhou Ping didn't expect Yue Yunfeng to be so fierce. He was determined to get the female zombie's broken arm back regardless of his own life.

Yue Yunfeng kicked the tentacle monster away and then swam out of the water.

Although the tentacle monster in the water was ripped open by Yue Yunfeng, the wound on its stomach healed quickly. The tentacles in its mouth continued to extend, and soon the entire monster turned into a sphere covered with tentacles.

These tentacles chased towards Yue Yunfeng.

Zhou Ping, with the help of the ghost bride, has already flown into the air.

But the tentacles also shot towards Zhou Ping.

The ghost bride wanted to block the monster's attack for Zhou Ping.

But the tentacles actually pierced the ghost bride's body directly.

Not only that, the ghost bride's body was also broken into pieces by the attack of the tentacles.

The ghost bride had never expected this. She had never expected that her illusory body would be pierced by the tentacle monster.

There were too many tentacles, and two of them had already crawled onto Zhou Ping's body.

Zhou Ping waved his vajra and magic sword Thousand Blades, cutting off some tentacles, but one tentacle still came out from underwater and went around behind Zhou Ping.

"Be careful behind you." Wu Dage reminded hurriedly.

However, the next moment, Wu Dage found that his reminder was unnecessary.

Although the tentacle stabbed Zhou Ping, Zhou Ping turned around strangely and stabbed the tentacle with his fingers.

Before Wu Dage could understand what was happening, he heard Zhou Ping curse inwardly and then threw out a long piece of cloth.

The long cloth flew towards Wu Dage.

"Hold on tightly!" Zhou Ping shouted.

Wu Dage grabbed the long cloth, and then the cloth became shorter. With the help of the Ruyi robe, Zhou Ping came to the exit.

The ghost bride and ghost baby also followed Zhou Ping to the exit.

At this time, Yue Yunfeng was the only one left in the room.

Yue Yunfeng was entangled by countless tentacles and couldn't escape.

"Die!"

Yue Yunfeng didn't know what means he used, but a burst of strong light burst out.

After the strong light, all the tentacles of the tentacle monster on Yue Yunfeng were cut off, and only a bare sphere remained in the pool.

"Good boy, you didn't use your hidden tricks, and you almost killed me." Wu Da Ge complained. In order to deal with the monster just now, he used all his tricks.

If Yue Yunfeng had used this method from the beginning, the two would have left long ago.

"Something's wrong."

Zhou Ping said with a frown.

In the pool, Yue Yunfeng's face was pale. He wanted to leave the pool, but countless tentacles in the pool entangled him again.

The originally bare tentacle monster kept having its broken tentacles reassembled on its body.

After a while, the tentacle monster recovered.

Yue Yunfeng's face changed drastically. The attack just now was his trump card. He didn't expect that the tentacle monster would be so difficult to deal with.

If Yue Yunfeng were to be entangled by the tentacle monster again, it would be difficult for him to escape.

"The ground is cracking, wooden vines." Zhou Ping reminded the ghost bride.

The ghost bride nodded and she cast her spell.

Cracks began to appear in the ground of the pool, and then countless vines grew out from under the water.

The wooden vines and tentacles blocked it.

Zhou Ping clenched his hand and then pulled Yue Yunfeng hard.

But there were still a few tentacles wrapped around Yue Yunfeng's body.

Zhou Ping was stunned for a moment and couldn't pull Yue Yunfeng over.

"Daddy, daddy, mommy, mommy." The ghost baby was beside Zhou Ping. His big eyes rolled, and then a ball of fire came out of his mouth.

The fire shot towards the tentacles.

With the help of several flames from the ghost baby, the tentacles left Yue Yunfeng's body.

Zhou Ping used his object control skills to pull Yue Yunfeng to his side.

He can't let Yue Yunfeng die. This is his mission and it costs him two years of life.

As Yue Yunfeng entered the cave, the tentacle monster began to twitch its tentacles frantically, but these tentacles could not leave the pool.

An invisible wall blocked the tentacle monster in the pool.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, glad that they could escape from this place.

"It was too dangerous. This guy was too powerful and hard to kill. I'm almost using up all my magic weapons." Wu Dage couldn't help but complain.

Yue Yunfeng's face turned terribly pale. He put his severed hand on the female zombie's hand, and then tried to carry the coffin on his back.

It’s just that the coffin was too heavy, and Yue Yunfeng was not in good condition, so he couldn’t carry the coffin at all.

After trying several times, Yue Yunfeng still couldn't carry the coffin, so he took a pill and put the coffin away.

After the coffin was put away, a little zombie appeared in front of the three people.

"Let's go." After Yue Yunfeng finished speaking, the female zombie and the little zombie followed him into the next level.

"A madman, a real madman. He wanted to get back a dead man's arm even at the cost of his own life." Wu Dage saw Yue Yunfeng walking away, so he lowered his voice and said, "That little zombie is his daughter, half human, half zombie. He broke into the secret realm to find some special medicinal herbs to cure his daughter's corpse poison."
