Chapter 590

Taiyilang let out a muffled groan, feeling intense pain all over his body.

In that instant, he nearly couldn't stand up.

Then those tentacles surged wildly toward Taiyilang.

Luo En saw this scene.

He knew that if he rushed up now to save Taiyilang, the tentacles would quickly seal off this weakness.

Then neither of them could escape.

But if he abandoned him to die.

Even if they escaped through this weakness afterward, he would surely be filled with guilt.

Taiyilang couldn't possibly survive?

In that instant, Luo En had already made his decision.

He suddenly spun around and rushed swiftly toward Taiyilang.

Taiyilang saw Luo En charging toward him, his face pale with shock, and shouted loudly.

"Go, go quickly, don't mind me!"

186、Obstruction

But Luo En had already rushed over, slashing furiously with his broken sword.

Each slash used all his strength, severing the nearby tentacles in half in an instant.

Taiyilang was frantic, cursing loudly while trying to urge Luo En to leave quickly.

But he knew Luo En would never easily abandon him.

The next second, Luo En had just grabbed his hand when countless more tentacles surged forward.

The attack speed of these tentacles grew faster and faster.

And their strength was also immensely powerful.

Previously, one slash from Luo En could still sever one or two tentacles.

But now, even as Luo En slashed wildly, those tentacles managed to withstand his explosive force and closed in rapidly on the two of them.

Luo En's expression subtly changed.

These tentacles seemed stronger than before.

Taiyilang said.

"It seems now neither of us can leave."

But Luo En refused to accept it; he whirled the broken sword rapidly, forming a defensive barrier.

Then he grabbed Taiyilang and rushed swiftly toward the weakness.

Although they had lost some time earlier, it still seemed there was hope.

The weakness had not been blocked by these tentacles.

Taiyilang said.

"When these tentacles attacked me just now, I suddenly noticed they have a certain trait."

Luo En asked, surprised.

"What trait?"

Taiyilang said.

"There seems to be a very familiar aura on each of these tentacles.

They are all controlled by the same force."

Luo En said.

"Of course—these tentacles are controlled by a curse, so naturally one person controls them."

But Taiyilang shook his head and said.

"No, no—I can feel these tentacles aren't strongly connected to each other.

Though controlled by the same person, their connection is not close."

Luo En was puzzled.

"What does that mean?"

He didn't understand at first.

Taiyilang said.

"Look at those tentacles—they can gather together in disciplined formation.

But when they merge into larger tentacles, they suddenly become chaotic.

As if they have no shared goal among themselves."

Luo En froze—he had never noticed this before.

After Taiyilang's reminder, when he looked back, he realized it was exactly as Taiyilang said.

When these tentacles coalesced into larger ones, they suddenly grew chaotic, darting wildly in all directions.

Although these large tentacles were terrifyingly imposing,

their effectiveness was far worse than the small ones.

So in the earlier battle,

Luo En could resist the attacks of the large tentacles, but the small ones had driven them to despair.

These small tentacles possessed independent consciousness.

So they knew exactly which direction to attack from.

They had already made their plans beforehand.

But the large tentacles are different—they are composed of countless small tentacles, each with its own will.

And these small tentacles each have their own thoughts.

Luo En said.

"So what are you suggesting?"

Taiyaro exhaled.

He now felt extremely weak, struggling even to speak a single sentence. He said.

"Perhaps we can design a way to turn them into large tentacles, then find a way to escape."

Luo En thought for a moment and said.

"This method is indeed good, but how exactly should we do it?"

Taiyaro said, "Perhaps I should be thrown up as bait."

Luo En's expression changed slightly, and he shouted loudly.

"That won't do! How could you even suggest such a thing?"

Taiyaro said, "Perhaps this is my only chance now.

I'm only being used as bait—it won't take my life.

And I know how to defend myself."

With that, he looked at Luo En, his eyes filled with determination.

"This is our only chance, and our only chance to defeat him.

We cannot give up like this."

Luo En gazed into Taiyaro's eyes.

He could tell that Taiyaro had made up his mind.

He said.

"But this will plunge you into endless danger.

If I lose even a little control, you'll be attacked by these tentacles.

You just saw how fiercely they strike.

We have no way to resist them."

Taiyaro said, "I know that well—I've been attacked by them before.

So don't worry, I know exactly what to do."

Luo En thought for a moment, then finally nodded.

"Then there's no other choice."

With that, he grabbed Taiyaro and hurled him upward with all his strength.
