Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 350: Seizing the Soul Orb
Zhuohua was also ready to take action at any time. She stared at the water while paying attention to Wuzhan's every move. She was indeed worried about Wuzhan. This guy knew everything, and she didn't know his background. How could he suddenly show up and be willing to help her without any other intentions? It was very likely that he came for the Nine-Colored Soul Pearl.

How can there be such good people in the world?
However, when Zhuohua paid attention to Wuzhan, she had a vague feeling of déjà vu. It seemed that she had seen that figure somewhere, especially that plain smile, which seemed to have appeared many times in her dreams. But when she woke up, she could not remember it clearly.

Zhuohua was sure that she had never seen Wuzhe before. In her memory, it was impossible for her to set foot on this land. She had never even seen a few humans. This time, she came here in response to the order of her mother queen in order to seize the nine-colored soul beads to restore her lost life. She knew nothing about this place.

Wuzhan had already walked to the water's edge, squatted down gently, and stretched his slender palm into the water. Before this, the water surface was extremely calm, like a pool of stagnant water, but everyone knew that the monster would attack at any time.

Zhuohua held his breath, not understanding what Wuzhan was going to do. His heart was in his throat. He wanted to ask, but was afraid of disturbing the monster and ruining Wuzhan's plan.

Wuzhan looked quietly at the dark underwater, maintaining a motionless posture, as if confronting the huge monster underwater. After a long time, Wuzhan smiled slightly, withdrew his hand, and a drop of water slid from his fingertips and dripped onto the water surface, causing ripples and spreading out.

Just at this moment, the water surface suddenly bulged, and the black tentacles appeared, striking towards the obstacle like lightning, making a sound of breaking through the air.

Wuzhan flipped over and jumped backwards. At the same time, his palms flew and dozens of water droplets shot out. Their target was not the tentacles that were rushing towards them, but the water surface, which splashed around the emerald green rocks and formed a half-foot-high column of water.

As the water column fell, an astonishing scene appeared. Dozens of tentacles broke out of the water, like blooming black chrysanthemums, but those were chrysanthemums that were more than ten feet high. They had no beauty at all and could only make people's scalps numb.

Zhuohua couldn't help but scream out loud. The black tentacles that almost occupied the entire space above the pool of water were roaring and dancing in a winding manner, looking extremely angry. Even though she had seen many monsters, she had never seen such a terrifying and disgusting monster.

Wuzhan's figure was still retreating, avoiding the tentacles that were whizzing past crazily. This time, the monster seemed very angry, and it chased him relentlessly, breaking many stalagmites and willingly crushing the invader alive.

It was not until Wuzhan pulled up the stunned Zhuohua again, flew back quickly, and hid behind a distant stone pillar that the tentacles stopped attacking. At this time, they were nearly a hundred feet away from the deep pool, and then they slowly retracted.

Wuzhan leaned against the stone pillar and panted, "This monster should be the North Sea Black Monster. It has forty-nine tentacles. Although it is huge, it can change like glue and can pass through cracks as wide as a pinhole. It can not only absorb attacks from spells, but also be difficult to cut with ordinary weapons. If it captures you, it will quickly drain all your blood and flesh. Even whales in the sea cannot escape the fate of being devoured if they encounter it."

Zhuo Hua frowned and said, "How could a monster from the North Sea come here?"

Wuzhan said: "This place is not far from the sea, and it is connected to the North Sea, so it is not difficult to get here. Moreover, there is a spiritual pearl here. Staying here and absorbing the spiritual energy emitted by the spiritual pearl is enough for cultivation."

Zhuo Hua asked, "Can such low-level spiritual intelligence also be cultivated?"

Wuzhan said: "Everything can be cultivated. This black monster has been cultivating here for at least five hundred years. Its intelligence should have surpassed that of ordinary people. Otherwise, it would have been lured out by us long ago. Moreover, its head was always hidden in the water. I only saw it open one eye."

Zhuo Hua sighed and said, "According to what you said, I have no chance of taking that soul bead!"

Wuzhan said: "It's not that there is no chance. According to my investigation, it mainly uses sound waves to determine our location, and its eyes are sharper than ours, so it hides underwater and doesn't want to open them. Maybe this is related to its past life on the seabed."

Zhuohua asked, "If their eyes are sharper than ours, wouldn't that make it more difficult to deal with them?"

Wuzhan smiled and said, "An eye that is too sharp is a defect. When it is exposed to strong light, it cannot open its eyes. It is just like when we look directly at the scorching sun. After a long time, everything will be blurry."

"So what? It's so dark here. There's no way there's such strong light as outside the cave. Besides, it can sense our location just through sound waves, without using its eyes."

"If there is no strong light, we can create strong light to prevent it from opening its eyes. It also has defects in transmitting sound waves, so we can create sound waves to interfere with its judgment."

Zhuohua thought again and again, and there was no better way except to force his way in, so he asked, "What do you have in mind?"

Wuzhan asked, "How strong a flame can the princess cast?"

Zhuohua said confidently: "It's enough to turn this place into daytime."

Wuzhan nodded and said, "That's good. I will make a feint attack while the princess waits for the opportunity to seize the soul orb." After that, he made a detailed plan with Zhuohua.

……

Wuzhan appeared at the edge of the calm pond again. This time, he could clearly see that the monster was staring at his every move with its two green eyes wide open. Although the water surface was calm, it was slightly undulating, as if the entire surface would bounce up in the next moment and swallow up this ignorant invader.

The shadow under the water suddenly moved, and the water surface bulged. At the same time, Wuzhan's figure also began to move. He did not retreat, but stepped on the water surface and ran towards the center of the pool. The place where he stepped was exactly the bulging water surface.

When the tentacle shot out from the water, Wuzhan's figure just left there. Just as he was about to land on the water, the water surface bulged at the same time, and a tentacle was about to break through the water. After Wuzhan stepped on it, it left an afterimage and jumped up again.

After the two tentacles broke out of the water, "Jiji" became angry and transformed into a thick whip that was more than ten feet long and rolled towards Wuzhan. The wind was whistling. Wuzhan did not look back and stepped on the raised water surface again, getting one step closer to the emerald green rock in the pool.

'Suddenly...' This time, almost at the same time, when the tentacles broke through the water, Wuzhan was also stepping on them, but it seemed that the tentacles were only a millimeter away from touching the soles of Wuzhan's shoes. Wuzhan turned over to avoid it, and the two tentacles that turned into long whips also swept over Wuzhan's body at this time. At the position where Wuzhan was about to fall, another tentacle had already appeared, and it was obvious that it had already judged Wuzhan's body trajectory in advance.

Who would have thought that Wuzhan did not land there at all, but instead strangely split into two figures, changed direction, stepped left and right, and the tentacle that suddenly appeared missed again.

The two figures spiraled closer to the pool, and the water surface exploded. Tentacles broke out of the water one after another, dancing angrily and whistling, blocking and attacking the two afterimages.

On the other side, from the top of the cave, pieces of gravel of varying sizes were whizzing down and falling into the water continuously. Some were smashed in the air by the waving tentacles. The sound of broken gravel and countless sounds of breaking air echoed in the space, interfering with the black demon's judgment.

The black monster was indeed extremely angry. After its forty-nine tentacles broke out of the water, its huge black crown-shaped head also emerged from the water. There were dozens of eyes on it, each of which was as big as a basin and emitted a ferocious green light. It was extremely terrifying.

When the black monster fully revealed its body, the entire pool of water looked like a wellhead under its reflection. The nine-colored soul bead was protected in the center, and the surrounding tentacles whistled and danced, slapping the water surface, and even two tentacles collided with each other, making a loud noise.

Wuzhan's figure was like water passing through a sieve, which would slip away as long as there was a gap. The boiling water surface was also the afterimage left by him. Even the black demon could not tell where Wuzhan's figure was and where he would fall. However, it would never let a shadow get close to the Nine-Colored Soul Pearl.

"Whoosh..." A stalagmite that was more than ten feet long and looked like a giant sword fell from right above the black monster. The black monster swung its two tentacles and hit it as before. "Bang..." The stalagmite was shattered in mid-air, and the debris exploded and flew everywhere.

What Wu Yao could not have imagined was that Zhuo Hua was hiding on a stalagmite. When the stalagmite shattered, Zhuo Hua jumped high, just avoiding the two tentacles that were slapping each other. Between his hands, a fireball quickly expanded, and the light illuminated the entire space. The light was as dazzling as the scorching sun, and it fell rapidly and went straight through Wu Yao's head.

The black monster immediately let out a strange hissing sound, and its wide-open eyes suddenly closed, as if in extreme pain. At the same time, several tentacles waved vigorously towards the dazzling ball of light in Zhuohua's hand.

"Huh..." The light ball in Zhuohua's hand split into six light balls and spread out in all directions. "Bang..." Explosions sounded one after another, and the light balls exploded with flames on their tentacles.

At this moment, Zhuo Hua threw out dozens of pieces of gravel from his sleeves, and those gravel were intercepted by the waving tentacles again. Zhuo Hua now spotted a gap and floated towards the nine-colored soul bead.

If others were to watch, Zhuohua's movement was very slow, or even very easy, and could be easily intercepted. However, others did not know that the black monster was already in a brief confusion at this moment, and was instinctively protecting itself. Even with its eyes closed, it felt an unbearable sting in its eyes. It was trying to find the unobstructed position outside and defeat it, and Zhuohua was making sounds above to confuse its judgment. The more relaxed Zhuohua was, the harder it would be for the black monster to detect it.

Zhuohua landed lightly on the emerald green rock, smiled triumphantly, and stretched out her hand to take all nine soul beads into her pocket. She had to admire Wuzhan's meticulous plan, which enabled her to easily obtain the soul beads.

This brief opportunity was fleeting. The black demon had already woken up. He straightened his whole body, ignored Wuzhan, and waved his tentacles wildly towards Zhuohua.

Zhuohua had already prepared a backup plan. He pulled the silk thread hanging from above in his hand, and the thread quickly contracted. His whole body suddenly flew up. The silk thread was made of ice silk, which was thin, tough and easy to carry.

"Bang bang..." The green rock was smashed to pieces, and the strange grass disappeared.

Zhuohua cursed in mid-air, "What a bastard monster! Such a good spiritual herb was ruined!" He shook the silk thread again, and the buckle of the silk thread hanging on the stalagmite opened. Zhuohua pulled the silk thread towards the shore.

There was no way the black monster would let Zhuohua go. It leaped out of the pool and pounced towards Zhuohua, waving its tentacles.

Just when Zhuohua was feeling proud, a tentacle swung from her side and intercepted her falling trajectory. Zhuohua panicked and screamed.

With a "thump", the silk thread was hit by the stone. Zhuohua's body was pulled by the silk thread and rose up again, just avoiding the tentacle. Zhuohua knew that the stone flew here without any obstacles, which undoubtedly saved her life.

After landing, Zhuohua did not dare to stay for a moment and ran straight to the underwater cave where she came from. At this time, Wuzhan also caught up with her from behind.

The angry black monster let out a shrill cry and chased after the two people with its tentacles waving like a tsunami. Wherever it passed, stone pillars broke and debris flew everywhere. It was getting closer and closer to the two people.

Seeing that they were about to reach the pool of water where they had just entered, the two of them leaped up, but at this moment, the tentacles of the black monster rolled over wildly, almost blocking their landing point. As long as they were touched, no one could escape.

In a flash, Wuzhan shouted, "You go first!" At the same time, he pressed his palm on Zhuohua's back and pushed forward. Zhuohua flew up again, avoiding the tentacles, while Wuzhan fell down.

Zhuohua would never believe that Wuzhan would sacrifice himself to save her in such a critical moment. At that moment, she even wanted to kick Wuzhan and use the force to fly up. In her mind, there had never been such a person, such a good person.

Zhuohua dived into the water and swam hard towards the dark cave. Looking back, she saw the figure above the water from underwater, the light flickering, alone and sternly facing the black body that was hundreds of times bigger than her.

However, the danger was still there. The black monster's target was her. As she entered the water, several tentacles also dived into the water, faster than her, and rolled towards her.

Wuzhan flipped his palm and slapped it suddenly on the water surface. Immediately, a wall of water rose up on the water surface, lifting up the tentacles that had extended into the water.

Zhuohua had no time to think. She took advantage of the water flow and got into the dark cave. The water flow was very fast and she didn't need to exert any effort. Her whole body moved quickly through the cave. The light at the entrance of the cave quickly dimmed as she moved away and disappeared in an instant.
