it was clear that if Qi Wuchang hadn’t reacted quickly to cut off the infected tentacle, his life force would have been voraciously devoured as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of magical beast is this, to be so formidable?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of us joined forces, and still, we could not subdue it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Shuyu’s gaze was intense, his heart still racing, “Although we can injure it, its body is so vast that our damage is insignificant, barely worth mentioning…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yanran said in a deep voice, “Its body surface is wrapped in black demonic aura, which greatly nullifies our attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with divine powers, it’s hard to inflict fatal injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, there is something wrong with the water…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Shuyu agreed, “Yes, I’ve noticed it too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s much harder to open up one’s domain underwater than in midair, at least several times harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, our divine powers are also greatly weakened; it seems this water is saturated with demonic aura.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a pause, Zhong Shuyu turned to look at the other two, his tone somewhat hesitant, “Did you all see it clearly?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Wuchang and Su Yanran exchanged glances, their expressions hesitant, but eventually both nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Shuyu asked, “What do we do now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That seems to be the octopus’s home, and it’s very cautious, not willing to leave its territory, much less the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we go down, we can’t avoid it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Wuchang said coldly, “Kill it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having been injured by the octopus, Qi Wuchang harbored deep resentment and without hesitation asserted his stance to take the creature’s life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yanran frowned, “We’d like to kill it too, but we simply can’t kill it in the water, and it won’t leave the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We don’t have the advantage, and I feel that this octopus is different from those completely mindless magical beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s quite cunning…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Wuchang nodded, “Indeed, it captured three people, but didn’t rush to eat them or suck out their life force, instead, it toyed with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I even suspect it did so deliberately, letting them call for help to come over…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen, having listened in for a while, couldn’t help but interject, “What exactly is down there?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Wuchang hesitated, but eventually said, “There is a man-made building; although I didn’t see the full picture, someone powerful in cultivation must have once resided there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We wanted to investigate this building, to find out the situation, or perhaps, to see if anything was left behind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This octopus is clearly different from the magical beasts we’ve encountered before, and this underwater building seems to be its nest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m wondering if there is something inside that made it so formidable, yet not completely frenzied, so cunning.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen thought for a moment, “Its body is enveloped in demonic aura, making it hard to hurt?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yanran’s expression was troubled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, this water is filled with endless demonic aura, too suitable for its survival and battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, our strengths are greatly limited…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen pondered for a few seconds, “How about trying to break it from the inside?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yanran’s eyes widened, “What do you mean by breaking from the inside?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen replied, “The octopus had such a big battle with you today, I think it must have expended a lot of energy, or should be very hungry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It will definitely need to hunt for food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We can throw some prey into the water, and maybe it will hunt them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We can place some powerful Explosive Talismans inside the prey, and when the octopus swallows the prey, the talisman can explode inside its body…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s eyes immediately lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Shuyu’s eyes shone, “I like this plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We don’t even need to battle it directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how strong its external defenses, it definitely won’t withstand an internal explosion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After exchanging glances, Qi Wuchang and Su Yanran also felt it was worth a try.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the creature might not take the bait, the plan itself required little cost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s give it a try.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Wuchang declared, “I have the Fire God Thunder Pearl here, quite powerful, let’s test it out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Shuyu also spoke up, “I have the Extreme Water Yin Thunder that can be used along with it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yanran suggested, “That creature’s skin is thick and flesh tough; we should place more in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it doesn’t swallow them, an unexpected explosion nearby would still inflict massive damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it gets hurt, even if not fatally, the three of us together should be able to kill it or drive it away, and then complete our exploration down there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone unanimously agreed, “Good, let’s do it!”\u003C\u002Fp>",878,"2026-06-06T01:52:26.771Z",1,"novelbin.me","767a42cec1c88fb1279bc3ba83688647d49edbb61aecd56b99a696a172abd04c","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-2242","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-2240",4071,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-peerless-expert-cover.jpg"]
