Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World-Chapter 29 - 26: Where’s the Octopus?

Qi Ying abruptly had her mouth pried open and was given a mouthful of pure air, bringing her back from her dazed state to lucidity, but left her somewhat confused.

Junior Brother Chen, what are you doing here?

You're actually fine?

Wait, you're only 16, aren't you? I'm several years older than you!

You....

Forget it, staying alive is what matters right now.

Qi Ying managed to regain some strength and began to struggle desperately,

But being affected by the Soft Tendon Powder, she just can't break free from those two big claws.

Meanwhile,

She widened her eyes in terror as she saw a huge fish's claw flying towards Chen Yi from behind

"Umm umm umm~!"

Qi Ying frantically nudged Chen Yi with her head, her eyes urgently signaling him to get out of there, not to care about her.

Chen Yi knew the situation was dire, as he turned around and saw the large claw, over ten meters long, swinging towards him. He thought, "I can only try,"

If it doesn't work, then I'm sorry, I'll have to save myself first.

He pulled out a palm-sized conch from his chest, put it in his mouth, and blew towards the incoming giant claw.

Buzz~~

An invisible ripple spread out.

The giant claw, which was whipping through the water at Chen Yi, suddenly stopped in the water.

Then, as if it had encountered some kind of predator, it suddenly recoiled,

and started to retreat rapidly back underwater.

Chen Yi turned back to see the two giant claws wrapped around Qi Ying's body retracting, like snakes retreating, quickly releasing their grip and disappearing under the water.

Chen Yi was stunned. The conch from the other world, which nobody wanted, turned out to be so effective?

What Chen Yi didn't know was that this giant octopus had developed some sort of spiritual wisdom. When the bait of flesh disappeared for no reason, it suspected that it was competing with its own kind.

Now, when the conch with a trace of demon power was brought out, it immediately made the octopus associate this with the demon fish that had stolen its flesh.

Driven by its instinctive fear of higher-ranking demon beasts, it chose to retreat.

Qi Ying, behind him, was also very surprised, not knowing what method Chen Yi had used to scare off the giant octopus.

But she knew she must have survived.

Qi Ying looked at Chen Yi's back, her eyes softer than ever before.

Then Chen Yi blew the conch towards the possible location of the octopus again.

Sure enough, the underwater turbulent movements calmed down,

and the other few claws still wrapped around people gradually retreated, and soon the octopus disappeared completely, leaving the water quiet down below.

However, the four disciples of the martial arts school, who were the first to be seized by this octopus, had long been suffocated and drowned.

Hmm?

Who's that up ahead?

Chen Yi squinted and saw Elder Brother Yunhu, his face red from holding his breath,

desperately signaling Chen Yi, pointing to his own mouth,

indicating to Chen Yi to quickly give him a breath too!

At some point, he had also fallen into the water, suffocated by the octopus,

At this moment, he was only half-conscious, and his hands barely moved,

but he had no strength to float to the surface.

Just as he was about to lose the last bit of strength, Yunhu gets a glimpse of hope by watching Chen Yi give Qi Ying air to save her life and seeing the claws that were tying him retreat,

he saw Chen Yi, hoping he'd give him air to save his life, he was willing to do anything if he managed to survive!

However, Chen Yi, who noticed this, had no intention of giving breath to Yunhu,

It repulsed him.

But Yunhu taught him standing stake and Fist Technique, and he did owe him for his teachings,

After thinking it over, Chen Yi swam quickly over to him,

faced with Yunhu's shy, embarrassed, and hopeful expression,

Chen Yi tossed up a kick, just like kicking a soccer ball, and sent him flying out of the water surface.

The distance of about twenty or thirty meters felt incredibly long,

Finally, Yunhu broke through the water surface, he took a deep breath, floated on the water, then let out a curse:

"Fuck!"

Chen Yi, you horny devil, can't you give me a moment's rest? I nearly died down there!

Then, one by one, the other disciples from the martial arts school also surfaced. However, they were less fortunate than Yunhu.

One by one, their faces were pale and their pupils had dissipated. They floated on the water surface, completely beyond saving.

Next, Chen Yi and Qi Ying also came up.

He looped one arm under Qi Ying's arm and across her front, toward the other shoulder. His feet treaded water as he swam slowly toward the direction of the ship several dozens feet away with Qi Ying.

At this moment, the eldest disciple and the junior gang leader each stood on a piece of the broken ship and looked towards the direction of the distant ship.

With extremely cold faces.

At this time, the sea was calm after the giant octopus quietly left. The water surface was eerily tranquil.

What remained were countless broken ship pieces, several survivors, and a few corpses.

One name appeared in the minds of both the eldest disciple and the junior gang leader: Niu Biao!

He must undoubtedly be the traitor. He poisoned the decoction and somehow lured that behemoth here, plunging their small boat into a deadly crisis.

If it weren't for the fact that the giant creature retreated for unknown reasons, even the eldest disciple and junior gang leader would not have escaped death!

Seeing Qi Ying surface and still moving, the eldest disciple's face showed a sense of concern and joy:

"Qi Ying, you're okay, thank goodness! Come, let me pull you up!"

As he said this, he bent down to pull her up. But when he saw Chen Yi's arm, his eyebrows furrowed and his expression soured.

"Thanks for your concern, Elder Brother, I'm fine. I see a spot at the stern,

let's go, Junior Brother Chen. Let's rest on the wreckage over there."

Qi Ying stabilized her breath, gently kicked her legs and signaled to Chen Yi to take her to the other side of the wreckage to rest.

Chen Yi silently moved his hand a little lower in the water, trying to be discreet and low-key, like an inconspicuous tool for paddling.

However, this small move made the eldest disciple's brows wrinkle further.

Little bastard, keep your hand where I can see it, where are you reaching?!

"What the hell are you standing there for, come help us!!"

At this moment,

The junior gang leader suddenly roared in anger, interrupting everyone's thoughts.

And from a distance, the disciples on the large ship tens of feet away were shook as one.

This time, the members of the Fish and Dragon Gang made no hesitation, quickly changing the course of the ship, rowing at full speed towards them.

At this moment, in a certain part of the large ship's cabin, Li Baitiao and the third elder disciple Niu Biao were completely stunned.

"Brother Baitiao, what...what happened? How come some people survived?

Where is the giant octopus?

Where are those big waves?

Just now it was killing madly, why has it suddenly calmed down now?

Hey, you tell me?!"

At this moment, the third elder brother Niu Biao looked somewhat panicked, and his heart was filled with fear.

If the junior gang leader and the eldest disciple hadn't died,

One could only imagine how grim his fate would be!

"Uh...this..." Li Baitiao also looked really upset.

He couldn't understand it either. They used a piece of bait, a secret family heirloom. His father had been very serious when he gave him that piece of meat.

"This piece of flesh once belonged to a demon beast. It contains deadly blood that can allow nearly-demon beasts level to evolve into demon beasts.

But only those nearly-demon beasts whose vitalities and blood have accumulated to a certain level can sense it, and this thing has irresistible attraction for them,

It's the evolution instinct inherited from the blood of these beasts!

And once this thing is used, you must stay far, far away.

It may indiscriminately attack all small creatures nearby, until they die."

Ever since Li Baitiao heard that deputy gang leader Hu Ye and the gang leader had come at odds, he actively proposed to use the family heirloom to kill the junior gang leader and the disciples of the Iron Fist Sect who had a good relationship with the gang leader.

This was his stepping stone for rising up in the gang,

so he did not hesitate to waste this only piece of demon beast flesh and arranged the scene today.

But,

What is this?

Where is your giant octopus?

Where is your beastly evolutionary instinct?

Where is your natural tendency to clean out all lesser creatures around you?!

Giant octopus, you can't do me like this?!!
