Chapter 584
But this giant tentacle is entirely a physical attack.
Luo En said.
"Don't ever clash directly with these tentacles—we must avoid him."
"Otherwise, we'll be severely injured."
After speaking, Luo En also sidestepped to evade the smaller tentacles' attacks.
"But if we keep fighting like this, our stamina will be drained soon."
Taiyaro said, somewhat helplessly.
He had just gone through several major battles, and his stamina had not fully recovered.
Although he had regained a little strength after escaping from inside the curse.
But later, to chase after Luo En, he once again exhausted all his stamina.
This time, after falling here, he had no more strength left to deal with these tentacles.
Soon he felt his stamina beginning to fail.
"Don't let these tentacles get close to your body."
During the previous battles, Luo En had observed that these tentacles loved to approach human bodies.
Although the large tentacles possessed strong physical attacks,
once they got close to a human body, they would secrete more small tentacles to clamp tightly onto the skin.
Then they would begin sucking blood.
The primary attack method of these tentacles is for the small ones to suck blood.
As long as we can avoid the continuous attacks of the large tentacles, it will be much easier.
Taiyaro's face was filled with helplessness.
He knew he had to avoid these tentacles, but their speed was extremely fast.
Each time they targeted his vital points, and seemed to anticipate his movements.
"Damn it, these things are incredibly cunning."
Before Taiyaro had finished speaking, a small tentacle suddenly shot out from his foot.
It clamped tightly onto his ankle.
At that moment, Taiyaro suddenly felt the world spin wildly.
He had never felt this before when bitten by small tentacles.
But now he felt his blood draining rapidly.
He quickly rolled on the ground, trying to shake off the small tentacles.
But each of these small tentacles had blade-like hooks on their mouths.
Once they bit down, it was nearly impossible to shake them off.
Seeing Taiyaro already caught, Luo En grew frantic and rushed over to rescue him.
But the tentacles around him were even more numerous.
The overwhelming tide of tentacles surged toward Luo En, aiming to clamp onto him tightly.
Although Luo En was fast, the tentacles' speed was not slow either.
"Don't come over—I can handle this myself."
Taiyaro told Luo En.
He could see that if Luo En tried to force his way through, he would inevitably trap himself in a desperate situation.
These tentacles' attack patterns were extremely devious, and their speed was very fast.
Unless one's strength far surpassed theirs, it was impossible to move freely among them.
And if Luo En came here, the tentacles here would very likely turn their attacks on him too.
Then Luo En would be surrounded on all sides, and alone, he would find it nearly impossible to escape.
He swiftly reversed his long blade and slashed down hard at the tentacle beneath his foot.
The tentacle swiftly twisted aside, dodging the long blade.
This slash used nearly all his remaining strength—he nearly lost his grip on the blade.
Fortunately, gritting his teeth and relying on that final burst of will, he finally held the blade steady.
He swung the blade again, turning it toward the tentacle and slashing down hard.
But the tentacle's reaction speed was astonishingly fast.
Before the blade even touched its body, it twisted again, evading the slash.
Due to excessive blood loss and extreme physical exhaustion,
Taiyaro gradually lost all strength.
He could no longer swing the blade with any force.
Now, even if the blade struck the tentacle, it might not even cut through it.
He said helplessly.
"It seems I must die here this time."
The tentacle, seeing that Taiyaro had repeatedly failed to harm it, seemed even more excited, accelerating its blood-sucking speed.
At that moment, several other tentacles also surged forward, clamping onto Taiyaro.
With multiple tentacles sucking blood simultaneously, Taiyaro's face turned instantly as pale as paper.
Luo En watched, knowing that if Taiyaro continued like this, he wouldn't last more than a few seconds.
He would surely die from excessive blood loss.
He couldn't care less about the rest now; he swiftly dodged the tentacles beside him and rushed to Taichirou's side.
As Taichirou had suspected.
When Luo En arrived before him.
The several tentacles around him simultaneously launched an attack on Luo En.
Luo En blocked those attacks, but the tentacles behind him surged forward once more.
Surrounded on all sides, Luo En felt immense difficulty.
"Hurry, get away, don't come over here."
Taichirou gritted his teeth against the intense dizziness and struggled to speak to Luo En.
He knew he probably couldn't survive now.
And Luo En, if he stayed here, would eventually be bitten by the tentacles.
Once bitten by a tentacle, there was no hope of survival.
These tentacles slipped into every gap, and their numbers were simply too vast.
Luo En slashed one of the tentacles with his blade.
That tentacle swiftly twisted aside, evading Luo En's attack.
Luo En spun and brought his blade down hard upon the tentacle beside Taichirou.
The tentacle hadn't expected Luo En to suddenly strike at it.
It seemed to have no time to react, and was cut cleanly in two.
Luo En showed no hesitation; he thrust his blade forward again.
He turned toward another tentacle, which had already prepared itself and immediately twisted away from Luo En's strike.
At that moment, tentacles from all directions charged toward Luo En.
Luo En knew he had to make an immediate decision now.
Should he defend against the tentacles coming from all sides, or strike quickly to sever another tentacle?
Soon, Luo En found his answer.
He lunged forward violently, ignoring the tentacles surging from every direction.
Instead, he severed the tentacle beside Taichirou in two.
The other tentacles had already reached Luo En's front, about to bite him any second.
Luo En swiftly retracted his blade and held it horizontally before himself.
Then he rolled swiftly across the ground.
Through this method, he quickly evaded the tentacles charging from all sides.
He also severed the two tentacles attached to Taichirou.
