Chapter 587

Luo En let out a cold snort.

Just now, for an instant, his blade was corroded by more than half.

It was already a broken blade; now it was even more shattered.

With this broken blade, they could not inflict any damage on these tentacles.

Moreover, although their self-destruction produces large amounts of corrosive blood,

this corrosion only affects Luo En and Taiyaro—it has no effect on the tentacles.

So some tentacles burst, while others continued to constrict toward them.

"Hurry, we must jump down—we can't hold out here much longer."

Luo En suddenly said to Taiyaro.

Most of the tentacles had already surged upward.

Although they had held back most of them, many more were rushing toward them.

With their current strength, they could not possibly resist so many tentacles.

Taiyaro nodded, gritting his teeth to keep from blacking out.

But his strength was utterly spent; even the smallest movement drained all his power.

He was now a bowstring stretched to its limit.

He could not harm these tentacles at all, and only risked being entangled by them.

Right after Luo En spoke these words,

he leapt down.

Luo En followed him down.

Wind rushed past his ears; Luo En felt as if he had entered a strangely wondrous space.

Although beneath their feet were still the tentacles,

Luo En sensed an unmistakable energy surging all around him.

This energy was unlike spellpower, and distinctly different from curse energy.

Though he did not know what this was, Luo En was rapidly absorbing this energy.

Since he had replaced all his internal energy with spellpower, he found he could easily draw in certain energies.

Although these energies differed greatly from spellpower,

they were still extremely useful.

After absorbing a portion of this energy, he felt his body grow fuller and more potent.

Taiyaro suddenly spoke to Luo En.

"I can't hold on much longer.

Don't bother with me—find your own path and charge forward without hesitation.

Don't stop for anything.

I can sense a strange energy forming nearby.

The enemy must be gathering a large number of tentacles to launch an attack.

If we pause now, we may never break free."

Luo En could hear Taiyaro's voice was faint, and a faint scent of blood clung to his body.

The previous attacks must have left him severely wounded.

He had not yet treated those wounds, and signs of infection had already appeared.

As time passed, he gradually slipped into shock.

Luo En could only comfort him.

"Don't worry—we will definitely escape."

Although he knew the tentacles around them were growing fiercer and attacking more frequently,

until now, the two of them had always supported each other, aiding one another.

Only by doing so did they have any hope of escaping.

If either abandoned the other, the remaining one would have little chance of surviving among these tentacles.

Luo En said,

"Right now, what we most need is to help each other—never again speak of abandoning one another.

Remember this: don't give up until the very last moment."

As he spoke, he reached out and gripped Taiyaro tightly.

To prevent Taiyaro from slipping away due to dizziness,

this way, the two remained constantly connected.

Soon, their descent accelerated.

Luo En felt they were now in a state of weightlessness.

Previously, though they had been falling continuously, there had always been some resistance.

But now that resistance had vanished.

Suddenly, Luo En felt intense pressure pressing in from all sides.

This terrifying force squeezed them like a tin can, making him gasp for air.

He was stunned—had the curse attacked them again?

Previously, the curse had only released those tentacles.

But this strange energy clearly could not be produced by the tentacles.

Clearly, the opponent had struck out at Luo En and the others once again.

Luo En took a deep breath and gathered all his strength, filling his body with it.

To resist this terrifying pressure.

However, Taiyilang's condition was far worse—he too was trying to resist this crushing force.

But the crushing force was simply too great.

And he himself was severely injured; he could not concentrate all his energy, so he began spitting blood continuously.

Luo En said.

"Hold your breath immediately and fill your body with Qi."

"Only then can you resist this pressure."

Taiyilang quickly held his breath.

But the effect was negligible, for the crushing force was far too powerful.

In an instant, Taiyilang's chest caved in.

He was just about to speak when suddenly—wah! —he spat out a mouthful of blood.

He slipped into shock again.

Luo En immediately pressed his fingers on Taiyilang's Renzhong point while pouring energy into him.

But this left Luo En himself struggling to resist the overwhelming pressure.
