Unlike the two factions, which had strong soldiers and horses, Muyou's side had much fewer people.
There were only three of him, Lin Xue and Xiaoya.
At most, including the pandas and mermaids, this is their entire combat power!
Of course, Mu You will not feel unprepared because of this, because soon, they will be able to get help from a major local force - the Dragon Riding Pirates.
With the addition of such a large pirate group, the manpower gap will be quickly filled.
On Tuesday afternoon, Mu You ended the store business early, and as usual went to find Lin Hai to help guard the door.
This time, in addition to Mu You and Lin Xue, Xiaoya and Ye Rumeng are also coming in to help on the front lines.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, everyone was ready, and Mu You opened the door on time.
"Xiaohai, just like last time, I'll leave the store to you!"
"Don't worry, Master!" Lin Hai assured him by patting his chest.
Time was running out, and no one was talking nonsense. Mu You led everyone in, and then immediately acted according to the previously planned plan.
The group of people got into the backpack prepared by Mu You, and Mu You went directly to the cave on the third floor of the underwater prison through the teleportation array.
A feeling of coldness and dampness came over me. There was a qualitative difference between a real person coming in and just reading the text in the game. The temperature of this cave was much colder and damper than expected, but the light was quite bright. A large number of fluorescent plants grow throughout the cave, illuminating the narrow space beautifully.
Mu You released Lin Xue and the others, and then went straight to the mushroom tree in the center of the cave.
The bones of the old elf leaning against the tree trunk were already pitted with weathering and decay. Feeling the approaching footsteps, the soul in the bottle automatically emerged.
"Are these the helpers you brought?" The soul in the bottle looked at the three women in the distance who were curiously looking at the environment, and first noticed Xiaoya among them.
Because at this time Xiaoya was wearing the skin of a forest priest and looked exactly like a forest elf, which made the old elf feel quite friendly.
"Yes."
Mu You nodded and glanced at his skeleton: "We are going down to the fifth floor next. What about you? Are you going down with us, or are you waiting here for our good news?"
The old elf's bones had been weathered to a state of disgrace, and it looked like it would break into a pile of bone powder at any moment. There would definitely be few opportunities to move it, and Mu You didn't dare to mess with him casually.
"Please be sure to take me with you! Whether you succeed or not, I need to witness the results!" The elf requested hurriedly.
Mu You did not refuse and carefully transferred the old man's remains into his backpack and stored them in the prepared coffin.
As for the bottle carrying the soul, Mu You left it outside.
After collecting the old elf's bones, Mu You led the three of them all the way down.
After descending along the cave for several minutes, the passage ahead became narrower and narrower, and finally the four of them were blocked in front of a stone wall.
This is the exit to the fifth floor.
Mu You signaled the three people behind him to get ready. He took out his wand and lit it on the red bricks one by one.
Three from the top, second from the left, fourth from the bottom, first from the right...
After clicking on the door opening password designed by the old elf, the stone wall in front of me squirmed and a small entrance automatically opened. ….
Mu You looked out through the small opening, and what was connected to the outside was indeed a space composed of flesh walls and mucus.
However, this time a real person was present, so Mu You had time to observe the fracture on the wall.
He has always been curious, which part of King Octopus is connected to this entrance? Is it directly connected to the other person's mouth?
It was only then that Mu You vaguely saw a layer of squirming octopus skin at the connection between the stone wall and the flesh wall. The familiar shape made him realize: it turned out to be a suction cup!
This position should be one of the octopus's legs. One of the countless suction cups on its outer skin can directly reach the Octopus King's body through the exhaust hole in the center of the suction cup.
In other words, every suction cup on the Octopus King's body is equivalent to an entrance.
At this moment, the Octopus King is lurking and sleeping on the bottom of the sea. At the same time, he wraps his eight claws tightly around the fourth floor of the undersea prison like a pillow.
If someone drills out from any position on the outer wall of the fourth floor, he will not be able to escape directly from the prison. Instead, he will pass through the octopus sucker wrapped in the fourth floor and enter the Octopus King's body, which is the fifth floor.
After confirming his location, Mu You jumped into the entrance first.
As soon as he landed on the ground, before he could stand firm on the soft flesh wall, a large amount of umbilical cord-like material suddenly emerged from the surrounding area, wrapping around him like snakes.
Mu You didn't panic at all. He rubbed a few wind blades with his hands and cut off all the umbilical cords that were approaching.
Then, before the next wave of umbilical cord was formed, he quickly took out a bottle of potion from the ring, opened the mouth of the bottle, and poured the light pink potion into the flesh wall under his feet.
The medicine penetrated into the flesh wall in the blink of an eye. At the same time, the growth rate of the surrounding umbilical cords also slowed down rapidly. Even those that had grown out did not come back to entangle Muyou, but began to sway left and right in place, like It's like being drunk and losing your mind.
"It really works!"
Mu You nodded with satisfaction. The bottle I poured just now is naturally the legendary sleeping potion that has been prepared for a long time.
After drinking a bottle, King Octopus immediately became quiet inside his body.
Mu You then turned around and waved to the three people at the entrance.
Lin Xue and Xiaoya jumped out of the entrance one after another, landed on the flesh wall, and then turned back to hug the little girl with short legs.
Xiaoya released the lighting technique on her hand, illuminating the dim surroundings.
"Oh, that's so disgusting..."
The little girl stood on the sticky flesh membrane, raised one sole of her foot, and looked at the layer of mucus adhering to the sole. Her face turned pale and she felt nauseated and wanted to vomit.
Lin Xue and Xiaoya's reactions were not as intense as the little girl's, but their faces weren't very pretty either.
The passage was filled with pink pieces of meat, which were scattered and piled up to form layers of folds, and the folds were filled with mucus. People who walked on them would slip if they were not careful.
The slippery fleshy walls of the soles of the feet seemed to be alive, breathing and squirming slowly, especially when there was an unpleasant smell of rotting flesh all around. The feeling of walking forward on one's internal organs was really terrible.
"Just bear with it..."
Mu You shook his head. The environment in this ghost place can indeed make people with mysophobia and trypophobia despair.
Let alone them, even Mu You felt terrified when he saw the white fluffy tentacles swinging around him. ….
While the potion was taking effect, the four of them hurriedly walked deeper along the flesh wall.
But just after walking for a while, Mu You suddenly saw a surge on the ground in front of him. Pieces of meat emerged from the flesh wall, and quickly condensed into octopus guards half a person tall. The bodies of these octopuses had Half of them are connected in the flesh wall and cannot be separated, but their tentacles can be extended infinitely, and then they can attack nearby targets through the extended tentacles.
"The potion expired so quickly?" Lin Xue was a little surprised. After all, it was a legendary potion. Is it so ineffective?
"No, King Octopus is still sleeping. This should be just some kind of passive defense mechanism in his body..."
Mu You shook his head. As a potion maker, he was the most sensitive to the effect of the potion and could feel that the potion was still taking effect.
These little octopuses in front of them are not consciously created by the Octopus King, but are things like human white blood cells that can automatically come out to kill enemies when something goes wrong in the body, even if the consciousness of the main body is not clear.
These octopus guards were only at level 11, so they were not difficult to deal with. Mu You and Lin Xue immediately took action to clean up the octopuses, while Xiaoya protected the little girl from behind.
The arc sword was particularly useful in this situation, as one after another the octopuses were being wiped out by the waving lightning sword blade.
On Lin Xue's side, the sickle kept passing by like an afterimage, each time leaving an octopus mutilated.
However, Lin Xue's scythe attack here was unable to leave any death mark.
One is because of Octopus King’s waiting
The level is too high. The specific level of Muyou is not yet clear, but this guy is probably another monster that has reached the level 30 cap.
Although the Death Scythe itself has unlimited potential, the upper limit of its actual use depends on the level of the user. If the gap between the two sides exceeds ten levels, the effect of the scythe will be greatly weakened, the conditions for leaving the mark of Death in the attack will become more stringent, and even after the Death is summoned, the number of souls that Death can harvest will be greatly reduced.
The second reason is body shape.
Because the Octopus King is too large, the damage caused by killing the small octopus in its body is at best equivalent to killing one of the billions of cells on its body, and the damage to its body is approximately zero. Naturally, it cannot leave the mark of death.
Mu You and Lin Xue chopped down the octopus like melons and vegetables, clearing the way forward.
Along the road, the sight the four of them saw the most was the floating corpses trapped in the surrounding flesh walls. They were also densely packed and could be seen everywhere.
These floating corpses are actually still alive, but they have fallen into a permanent sleep. They only rely on the umbilical cord tubes attached to their bodies to maintain basic functions. They are all weak and skinny, and the depths of the sinking are also different. Some are still floating on the surface of the flesh wall. , some of it has indeed been swallowed deeply into the flesh wall, with only a little skin still exposed.
After walking a little further, probably leaving the octopus legs, and entering the main body, everyone found that there were no floating corpses around.
This is not because the floating corpse cannot float here, but because from here on, even if it enters the scope of the Octopus King's body, all the vital organs will follow. The floating corpse that comes here will all be swallowed deeply to ensure safety. It's inside the flesh wall and can't be seen from the outside. ….
The four of them continued to move along the flesh wall passage, and after going deeper for more than ten minutes, they finally found the heart of the Octopus King.
The octopus has three hearts. In addition to the most important body heart, there are also two small gill hearts that play a supporting role. These three heart positions are connected together. At this moment, the four of Muyou came to the place that holds the three hearts of the Octopus King. s position.
Mu You looked up and saw a spherical heart with a diameter of tens of meters on each side on the flesh-walled ceiling in front of him. Surrounded by many blood vessels, it was beating powerfully.
But between the two hearts, the main heart, which was supposed to be larger and more energetic, disappeared!
The neat cross-sections of the surrounding heart vessels all indicate that the heart has been artificially removed.
But the miraculous thing is that this removal does not affect the function of the heart itself or the health of King Octopus. After all the heart blood gushes out from those fractures, it suddenly disappears and then automatically continues to the heart of King Octopus. It continues to flow, and after being accelerated by the power of the heart, it flows out from the tail end of the heart and automatically appears in the cardiovascular blood vessels below, completing blood circulation.
So strictly speaking, the heart is actually still growing in its original position, but a method similar to space transfer has been used to move the space where the heart is located elsewhere.
"No wonder you need the blood of your heart..."
Mu You instantly understood the significance of the Phantom Thief's mission.
Precisely because the heart has only been transferred by space, it is actually still functioning normally. Its heart blood will always keep flowing to the heart. Therefore, as long as the heart blood is taken, there is a chance to find it according to the direction of the blood dripping. The heart of King Octopus.
The only thing that makes Mu You wonder is, what kind of person does it take to be able to cut off the heart of a creature as powerful as the Octopus King?
Shaking his head, Mu You took out the blood-sucking magic bottle and used a floating spell to send it to the thickest blood vessel above the main heart.
The vampire bottle automatically adsorbs on the flesh wall of the blood vessel and begins to draw blood from it bit by bit.
This process was obviously very long, and a layer of blood mist only gathered after half an hour. Mu You was not in a hurry, as they happened to have other things to be busy with.
"Look for them all. Those elves should be buried nearby..."
Mu You immediately directed the three of them to start working.
On Xiaoya's side, summon all the summoned beasts
After coming out, Mu You and Lin Xue each recruited a few summoned beasts to help. Mu You used a group of summoned creatures as police dogs, sniffing around the ground in the nearby space, looking for targets.
The result was that a group of summoned beasts was not as effective as Xiaoya alone.
"Boss, I feel it, there should be someone here!"
Xiaoya suddenly raised her hand to signal to everyone.
Xiaoya's Elf skin has some weak sensitivity to people of the same race, which is why Mu You specially brought her here today.
Mu You walked to the position pointed by Xiaoya and used the arc sword to cut downwards little by little.
After cutting to a depth of nearly two meters, sure enough, the prototype of a human figure was vaguely exposed under the broken layer of flesh.
Mu You hurriedly expanded the crack, and then worked together with Xiaoya to pull out the man who was buried deep in the flesh wall.
The first person to be found was an Elf woman. Her clothes had long been corroded and tattered, and her whole body was extremely sallow and skinny, so thin that she was just skin and bones.
"It's Sasha! She's alive!"
The old elf soul in the bottle suddenly became excited and hurriedly urged Mu You to save people.
"You can recognize this!"
Mu You admired him very much. This elf was so malnourished that his face had completely changed. He could even call out his name, which showed how familiar they were.
Mu You reached out and tore off all the umbilical cords on the elf, then called Ye Rumeng and asked her to try to wake him up.
Of course the little girl understood why Mu You brought her here today. At this time, she walked over obediently, took a deep breath, put her hands on the female elf's forehead, and silently recited the name "Sasha" in her heart.
There was no reaction in the first few seconds. After a few seconds, the elf's originally unchanging expression suddenly became distorted, as if he was suffering from some great pain.
At the same time, the entire flesh wall space also trembled, a familiar whale roar sounded from a distant place, and above the ground, countless umbilical cords grew rapidly from the ground.
"Is the Octopus King about to wake up?"
Mu You didn't expect that the previous steps were all fine, but the final wake-up call actually caused the Octopus King to have such a big reaction.
He hurriedly took out several more bottles of pink potion, opened them one by one, and poured them down.
After pouring two bottles of legend and one bottle of epic potion in succession, the restlessness in Octopus King's body finally calmed down again. .
Seven words and five colors
