Chapter 776: You Come and I Go

Pulu-lu.

The bubbles attached to the rock wall detached and floated up, the pitch-black bottomless underground cave came into view, dead silent.

The Eight-Clawed King's body size was huge, shocking. Ordinary people would feel fear just facing it, but the passage it drilled was exceptionally small, only a few zhang in diameter.

"It is an octopus after all."

Liang Qu stayed at the cave entrance, not daring to dive in rashly.

Let "cannot move" prepare 【Divine Wood Imprint】, storing it without releasing.

Swish!

White flow wrapped.

In an instant, Bai Yuan appeared!

Changed the "gate," continued inside.

A hundred li away, the old toad closed its frog eyes, raised its frog head, muttering, until a certain moment, fiercely pulling the fat catfish's left whisker.

The Bai Yuan exploring deep inside leaned against the rock wall, hid in the darkness, and tried his best to restrain his aura.

The sunset slanted.

The sunlight remaining in the rock cracks at the cave entrance gradually dissipated, the road ahead and the road behind were all dark, making one hesitate.

A full quarter of an hour.

The old toad pulled the right whisker.

Bai Yuan's long fur floated up.

"What an intense confrontation!"

Liang Qu thought to himself.

The Old Toad and the Eight-Clawed King—one seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster, the other divining with hexagrams; one relying on instinct, the other on skills—they fought back and forth, evenly matched. Before they had even clashed head-on, the glint of blades and shadows of swords were already rising everywhere, and dark undercurrents were surging.

Furthermore...

Liang Qu communicated with the creation long-breath in the Ze Ding and pondered.

Another quarter, 【Yin】 would turn back to 【Sun】, about two quarters of an hour, turning back and then stabilizing would consume a lot of spirit. Should he use 【Water Travel for a Thousand Li】 to go back and continue the time? But going back and forth would definitely consume spirit...

Evening time, October full moon, deliberately using the night to fight consumption?

All in the Eight-Clawed King's divination?

"Forget it, leave it all to Frog Duke."

Realizing the horror of the Eight-Clawed King, Liang Qu gave up thinking and completely handed over the command, leaving it to the old toad a hundred li away.

The fat catfish acted as an information relay station, the old toad squatted on its head, pulling two whiskers, left stop right go, remote control command.

One quarter of an hour full.

【Yin】 gradually changed to 【Sun】.

"Useless work."

The plan to increase the blessing by several layers during the full moon was shattered.

Compared to the Eight-Clawed King, Liang Qu's path was ultimately shallow, and the foolproof preparations he made were abolished one by one as soon as they came up.

The pitch-black tunnel of only a few li, Bai Yuan sank for a full half hour.

Don't know how many big turns, how many forks, the dark cave suddenly opened up.

In the darkness was an empty cave, as if it were a giant's palace. Releasing water flow perception, except for the road he came from, there was no other exit, a dead end.

Send the message back.

The old toad was stunned in place, temporarily disconnected.

After waiting for a while without reply, Liang Qu used water flow to explore alone.

In Bai Yuan state, his control over water flow could spread for dozens of li. The chaotic water flow turned into countless thin snakes, drilling into rock cracks...

Half a li away.

A cave?

The old toad fiercely shuddered and violently hammered the fat catfish's big head.

An instruction outside the agreement, the fat catfish crashed in place.

"Rush forward!" The old toad yelled.

The message in the spirit link came, and at the same time, Liang Qu, who captured another huge space in water flow perception, did not hesitate at all, and immediately 【Water Travel for a Thousand Li】, sprinting and jumping in. Vision not clear.

A huge rock exploded in his face!

Liang Qu, who jumped into the cave, seemed to have jumped exactly onto the tip of a knife, and was hit without reacting.

Boom!

The rock shattered into rock powder, exploded into a group of brown-yellow powder, gravel shot, and faint blood streaks appeared in the powder mist.

Severe pain attacked his body, Liang Qu couldn't release much pressure at all, jumping and fleeing!

Inside the cave.

The Eight-Clawed King's entire body pressed up, completely subduing the Sea Shopkeeper. Even though it fell into weakness, it still used only three tentacles, easily suppressing the struggling Sea Shopkeeper, and opened its mouth to eat a full two tentacles!

The broken azure tentacles didn't lose activity, the ends stuck to the face, as if struggling to survive, and were chewed and swallowed by the serrated jaws.

The Eight-Clawed King waved its tentacles, pressing the Sea Shopkeeper's handover tentacle to death. For the Bai Yuan that jumped out, it didn't show any surprise.

Foreign aid!

Good ability.

Just a white ape demon with water escape divine ability, is it useful?

Escape divine ability.

Preparing to run away and take revenge later?

The great ominous sign is that the Sea Shopkeeper will become a Martial Saint in the future and take revenge on itself. The timing is the weakening period of the next swallowing?

What was the weakness just now?

The brown mist dissipated, Bai Yuan disappeared, don't know where it fled. The powerlessness that flashed by just now seemed like an illusion, and everything returned to normal.

The Eight-Clawed King's thoughts turned a hundred times, without any intention of opening its mouth to question. It chewed loudly. Things had reached this point, more words would only bring unknown changes. Any questioning would only expose its guilty conscience and boost the enemy's morale.

It extended another tentacle, pressing the Sea Shopkeeper who was struggling to rise during the short weakness, and fully refined the flesh and blood it swallowed. Then it detached two from itself and lurked in the cave.

Just at this moment, its body seemed to be opened by a huge hole for no reason, and its physical strength poured out like a floodgate, and the source was exactly the handover tentacle it was pressing!

"Picking Yin to supplement Yang?"

Another wave of powerlessness surged into the Eight-Clawed King's heart. It didn't feel fear, but instead felt a bit of peace of mind.

All means?

A bit tricky, but...

Hmm?

The Eight-Clawed King suddenly discovered that one of its tentacles suddenly lost control and lay limp on the ground.

The one that was monitoring the Sea Shopkeeper before?

It was tampered with when it was taken back half a year ago!

What method?

Almost at the same time, the floodgate opened by the handover tentacle increased by two times!

Detaching two, one powerless, one acting, Hai Yun remaining one, the Eight-Clawed King with three tentacles remaining was actually faintly unable to control the Sea Shopkeeper who had gained a breathing space due to picking and supplementing!

Thoughts like electricity.

The tentacle chasing Bai Yuan fell back, pressing the Sea Shopkeeper again!

But before the Eight-Clawed King continued to swallow.

"Rush again!"

The old toad fiercely hammered the fish head.

The scarred Bai Yuan received the order, didn't stop, jumped into the cave entrance again, brilliant golden eyes like a long spear blasted straight into the Eight-Clawed King's mind, infinite pressure covered, the majestic figure appeared, and a sense of weakness even stronger than before surged into its heart!

The torch in the dark cave lasted forever, washing away the Eight-Clawed King's fierce momentum.

The Sea Shopkeeper felt her whole body lighten, and actually suppressed the Eight-Clawed King for a time!

The Bai Yuan, which was as annoying as a fly, made the Eight-Clawed King feel endless annoyance.

Inside the cave, the tentacle that had detached before was like a long whip, whistling down!

Hum!

Breeze expanded.

【Nether Sea Prison】 trapped the tentacle, the tentacle entered slow motion, but Bai Yuan still jumped to the tip of the knife like before, its back collided with the tentacle, the physical injury wasn't big, but a strong killing intent rushed into the body, wantonly destroying!

A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out.

Swish!

Bai Yuan flashed and disappeared again.

Infinite pressure collapsed, the sense of weakness detached again. At this time, the Eight-Clawed King completely realized that something was wrong, and a strong sense of crisis arose.

Every time Bai Yuan jumped out, its strength was inexplicably suppressed, almost having a sense of weakness back to when it was a Demon, and the powerlessness of being picked and supplemented increased violently. Just this one item was more tricky than all the preparations made by the Sea Shopkeeper!

"Bai Yuan is a great disaster!"

Understanding the key, the tentacles in the cave twisted, manifesting as an octopus, tentacles waving, tearing the water flow, and in an instant broke through the air!

Underwater.

Liang Qu was in severe pain, all the healing pills in the mouthguard were swallowed, only able to barely suppress the pain.

Before he could catch his breath.

Bang!

Gravel pierced into the skin.

A brown octopus broke through the sky full of broken rocks and rushed out of the cave!
