Bu Tian Gang

Facing such a little octopus that was completely different from the arrogance just now, Winter Solstice actually felt a little guilty.

"Sorry, we didn't know that you were a staff member invited by the organizing committee. May I ask if your eyes can recover?"

Octopus: "Yes, my eyes and tentacles can regenerate."

Winter Solstice squatted down: "Then I'll go back and let them pay you more, okay?"

"Really?" The octopus raised its head and looked at him with its only remaining eye.

Winter Solstice: "But we have a few questions, I hope you can help us answer them."

Octopus: "Half a ton of fish for one question."

Winter Solstice's mouth twitched: "Yes."

The octopus was immediately elated: "Then ask!"

Winter Solstice: "Have you ever seen the remnant soul of a demon? Or, have you ever seen a person possessed by a monster?"

Octopus: "What is a monster?"

Winter Solstice was at a loss for words for a moment, and could only say: "It looks like a cloud of black air, but it can actually enter the body of a living being, control its mind, and perform some behaviors that are different from ordinary humans. For example, heart-digging?"

Octopus: "Ah, then I've seen it, is it called a monster?"

Everyone was shocked.

The winter solstice asked: "Where!"

Octopus: "I don't know, but I saw it when he dug out the heart. He ate several human hearts, and one person ran away."

Tom said anxiously: "That's me! Why didn't you stop that demon at that time!"

The octopus asked strangely: "Why should I stop it? The rules of the game only prohibit me from harming human beings, but they do not say that I must protect human beings."

Liu Qingbo was suspicious: "Did you see it? Why didn't it kill you?"

Octopus: "I don't know, why did it kill me?"

Liu Qingbo: "Your power is so huge, why didn't it attach to your body and use your power to kill?"

Octopus was silent.

Liu Qingbo felt more and more that it could do it, and he had already pulled out the sword before he heard its confused voice.

"I don't know, it did try to attack me, but it found it couldn't control me, so it ran away... I remembered!"

The octopus said aggrievedly: "It said that I was too stupid. I was thinking about eating fish all day long, and my strength was not strong enough. It felt that it was a shame to enter my body."

Crowd: ...

It's rare that he thinks the same as Tianmo, but Liu Qingbo doesn't feel honored.

The octopus who asks three questions is like a child whose intelligence has not yet fully developed. It is both powerful and childish, and even what it says makes people laugh and cry.

"So is it still on this island?" asked Winter Solstice.

Octopus: "No, it went to another island, because there is a more terrifying monster on it, and it should be looking for it."

Winter Solstice: "What monster?"

Octopus: "I don't know, but it's scary. I can sense its power. It's very huge, very deep, and irresistible. I dare not approach it. It is sleeping now, but I don't know when it will wake up. If it wakes up, it will be a very scary scene, the sea will flow backwards, the sun will be replaced by the moon, and I will die too!"

It spoke upside down and confused its words, but the extreme fear in its tone could be heard.

Zhang Song frowned and said, "Is that monster also a checkpoint invited by the organizing committee?"

Octopus: "No, no, they don't know it exists, no one knows it exists, but I can sense it, and the demon you mentioned should also be able to, so it went to find it, I was very scared, woo hoo, I want to go home……"

Everyone never expected that the huge octopus showing off its power just now turned out to be such a monster with a child's mind after shrinking.

Liu Qingbo said viciously: "Don't cry, answer our questions carefully, which island it went to, and what is there on the island!"

As a result, the octopus cried even louder.

Li Han'er couldn't see it, and bent down to comfort Dongzhi with a warm voice. Perhaps it was the gentle power of women, the crying of the little octopus finally subsided, and everyone's swollen heads were finally relieved.

"Meika," Li Han'er even asked the octopus's name, "Aren't you afraid that the monster will wake up, we are going to destroy the demon now, so that it won't have a chance to wake up the monster, but you have to tell us, the monster Which island we went to and what is on the island, we are sure to defeat the demon."

Octopus Meka said: "The island has ice, glaciers, a huge city of ice and snow."

Li Han'er was surprised: "The ice and snow haven't melted?"

Meka: "The mist is an enchantment. It freezes the ice and snow and won't melt. They specially transported the glacier, but when they built it, they didn't know there were monsters underneath. The monsters are sleeping, so they can't be awakened, or there will be big troubles. "

The "them" in its mouth obviously refers to Group 51.

Li Han'er: "Since the monster is sleeping, the devil shouldn't be able to wake it up, right?"

Meka: "No, it can get into the consciousness of the monster, anger the monster, and then control it."

Tom looked at the winter solstice: "Dong, we must find Lilith immediately, tell them the truth, and then go destroy the demon!"

Winter Solstice continued to ask Meka: "Are there golden apples on this island?"

Meka: "No, only silver coins, do you want them?"

It’s fine without fish and shrimp, Winter Solstice thought. "Where are the silver coins?"

The little octopus opened its mouth and spat out several silver coins.

"Here, it's all here, take it!"

Liu Si picked up all the silver coins, and the little octopus let out a snort, as if discovering a new world, excitedly said: "You're not human either!"

"I'm not." Liu Si smiled.

Meka was very curious, and looked him up and down with one eye: "Then you became like this, is it also a disguise of illusion?"

Liu Si shook his head and said: "I learned through cultivation, and my body has undergone a complete transformation, so I won't be easily seen through."

Meka: "How to convert, I want to convert too!"

Liu Si smiled: "Isn't it good to be an octopus?"

Meka said distressedly: "It's not very good, I can only live in the ocean forever, after leaving the coast, humans will treat me as food."

Winter Solstice, who just cut off a section of squid tentacle not long ago, was a little guilty, but Tom, who had eaten charcoal-grilled small octopus slices, was even more guilty. The two looked at each other by coincidence, and quickly looked away.

Meka continued: "If I can transform into a human form, I don't have to stay in the water all the time, and I can eat more delicious fish. I heard that grilled fish is more delicious than raw, right?"

After all, it was for the fish. Liu Si was also a little speechless about this unambitious octopus monster. He said: "It should be, but it is indeed more convenient to be able to change shape at will. If you are interested, you must learn Chinese first." , there are many tricks and methods of cultivation, and only those who know Chinese can understand them correctly."

Meka: "Okay, then can you teach me? I can give you a gift, do you want a shark or a whale?"

Liu Si: "...I don't even want it."

Winter Solstice came up with an idea: "Well, if you can maintain this reduced body shape, after the competition is over, we will communicate with the organizing committee and take you back to China. Then I will take you to a place where There is also a senior who opened his spiritual wisdom from the shape of a beast, if he is willing to accept you as an apprentice, you will learn many useful skills."

Wuzhiqi kept his promise underwater for thousands of years. Although he was willing, Dongzhi felt that if he had an apprentice to teach him, it might relieve his loneliness, and he broke one of the octopus' eyes. In this way, it can be regarded as having a beginning and an end, and repaying the cause and effect.

Of course, if Wuzhiqi is dissatisfied with this apprentice, then Winter Solstice will find a way to relocate the octopus.

The octopus was also very happy: "Great, then I will follow you back to China after the competition!"

Tom interrupted the octopus' glee: "Wait, Meka, I want to know, how are my companions?"

Meka: "Who is your companion?"

Tom: "It's the teams that just came in."

Meka said honestly: "Some are dead, some are still alive, I don't know who is dead, and I don't know who is still alive."

Tom turned pale with shock: "How did you die!"

Meka: "They seem to have internal strife, and one of them is possessed by a demon, which is the one I mentioned before."

Tom lost his voice: "Didn't it already leave!"

Meka: "It doesn't have a fixed shape, and it can be divided into many parts. It's the main body that says I'm too stupid, but outside the main body, it separates some clones to capture human consciousness. Can you understand?"

Tom didn't understand.

Winter Solstice said: "Perhaps the remnant soul of the Heavenly Demon has already made a move on the boat. After it has possessed itself, it uses bewitchment and lure to give the devilish energy to those with evil intentions, and use them to kill. We have seen it in the forest before." One, what we can do now is to rush to Princess Island as soon as possible, and stop the demon before it wakes up the monster."

Meka said: "That's right, apart from the monsters on the Princess Island, there is also my friend Elizabeth. The golden apple is in her hand. I can take you to find her."

Winter Solstice: "Is Elizabeth also invited by the organizing committee to help?"

Meka nodded her head: "That's right, we all signed the contract, she will be responsible for preventing you from getting the golden apple, and the reward will be a lot of beautiful dresses."

Winter Solstice suddenly thought of the riddle about the golden apple that the organizing committee had told them.

"Could it be that the beauty shrouded in clouds will finally take off her veil, that is, your friend?"

"Beauty?" Meka naturally praised her friend. "Elizabeth is indeed beautiful, and she is very shy. The only thing she cares about is her artwork. If the artwork is destroyed, she will be very angry."

Everyone suddenly realized that they had found the truth.

Winter Solstice said: "Meika, can you lead us out of this maze?"

The octopus was quite happy to be able to visit his friends: "Okay, I have visited this maze several times before you come here, and I remember the route!"

"Do you remember all the complicated routes?" Zhang Song didn't quite believe that an octopus could remember the route of the maze.

Meka heard his doubts, and said angrily: "Of course! Have you ever seen an octopus that can speak English?"

Zhang Song: ...Not really.

Meka proudly said: "I must be the first octopus that can speak English, and the only one!"

The little octopus got up from the ground, Dong Zhi couldn't bear it when he saw its eyes, so he lifted it up and let it point out the direction, and everyone followed.

"When will your eyes recover?"

"Let's wait for ten or twenty days, the octopus has a strong recovery ability."

Winter Solstice apologized: "I'm really sorry, the enemies we encountered before were very cruel, so we tried our best every time."

"It doesn't matter," Meka didn't mind at all, "Anyway, I will use this to ask them for more rewards. This time I want ten tons of fish. What do you think?"

The winter solstice couldn't laugh or cry: "Where do you store so many fish? And you can become so small, can you eat them all?"

Meka: "You can keep accounts. I have traded with them in this way all these years. Now they owe me a total of more than ten tons of fish. In addition to this time, it is enough for me to eat for a long time. I can even remember the route of the maze. , not to mention the fish they owe me! Now I shrink my body to communicate with you, otherwise I like to return to my original size, swimming in the sea, and all marine life will have to detour when I see it , how majestic!"

Octopuses are originally smart creatures. The Meka in front of them is obviously smarter than ordinary octopuses, and maybe even smarter than ordinary humans. After all, humans may not be able to remember the maze route. If Meka can learn systematically , maybe its wisdom will surpass many humans one day.

"I know a Jiaolong, and he also loves to eat. If you meet each other, you will definitely become good friends." Winter Solstice is talking about watching Chaosheng.

Meka: "Dragon? Can it breathe fire?"

Winter Solstice: "No, no, he is not a western dragon, but an eastern dragon. He hasn't really become a dragon yet, but he will soon."

The two were chatting, when Liu Qingbo behind him suddenly made a sound and grabbed Dong Zhi.

"It smells bloody!"

The others also smelled it, and drew their weapons to be on guard.

Meka said: "There is no danger ahead."

But Dong Zhi and the others were still not at ease. They walked slowly around the corner in front and found a corpse lying on the ground.

Tom exclaimed, "Isn't that the female astrologer!"

Liu Qingbo went up to check and found that the woman had been dead for some time. Her five fingers were stained with blood, but there was no wound on her hand, which meant that the blood might belong to someone else. There was a hole between her eyebrows, which should be caused by a bullet.

Tom also squatted down, looked at it for a while and said, "This should be our bullet."

Liu Qingbo: "Before we suspected that she might be possessed by a monster."

Coupled with the fact that they heard gunshots during the day, the two events were not difficult to connect.

Winter Solstice asked the octopus: "Is there any remaining monsters in the maze now, can you feel it?"

Meka: "I used to be able to see as long as I got bigger, but now you have chopped off several tentacles, and one eye is gone. I was seriously injured and needed to recuperate. There is nothing I can do for the time being."

Tom: "What about my companions, can you tell where they are?"

Meka: "Either they have already left, or they have gone back to the fork. There is no other test here except me."

Of course, the monster was an accident. Bobeiye’s remnant soul was elusive and unpredictable. Everyone expected the beginning, but not the process. But aside from this accident, the levels of the four islands do have their own characteristics.

Diana Island is forest and zombies.

Rose Island is the Talon Banshee.

Full Moon Island is a labyrinth and a giant octopus.

Princess Island is the city of ice and snow and beauty.

If there is no haze of ghosts haunting the sky, everyone must be looking forward to the next Princess Island, and that will also be the destination of the ultimate goal of golden apples.

Winter Solstice tried to call the number William had given him, but the phone couldn't get through.

Zhang Song and the others curled their lips, thinking that when even the most powerful technology fails, it is not as reliable as a sword, but seeing Tom's gloomy face, they did not say this after all.

Although Tom was in a hurry, he had no choice but to follow the winter solstice and the others to move on.

With the octopus leading the way, everyone never strayed into the fork again. Before dawn, they had successfully walked out of the maze, but along the way, they did not encounter any human beings again.

Tom cared about Lilith and William, and he didn't want to go to Princess Island with Winter Solstice, so Winter Solstice gave him the phone and asked him to stay at the beach to keep in touch with William and the others. , or quit the game directly.

Watched by Tom, the six of them, together with an octopus monster, took a speedboat to Princess Island.

The fog outside Princess Island is much denser than other islands. The almost milky white mist surrounds the entire island, forming a natural barrier. As the speedboat approaches, Princess Island behind the white fog gradually into their sight.

Li Han'er thought to herself that her concentration was good, but at this moment she couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

It was an island almost covered in white.

The island is a castle cast by glaciers, like a fairy tale suddenly leaping from a book to the real world.

But this place is not close to the polar regions. After all the ice and snow are transported here, they are fixed here with special methods for this competition. The Americans can be described as generous.

"Who drew Princess Island before?" Yang Shouyi asked.

"The French and Southeast Asian head-down masters." Li Han'er said.

Because the French had teased them with Grace before, everyone didn't like the French. If the French won the competition this time, it would be more annoying than William and the others winning the championship.

"Are there any tests on this island?"

It was Meka the octopus who answered them: "Only the snow trap and Elizabeth, but Elizabeth won't let them get the golden apple so easily."

Liu Qingbo: "What is your Elizabeth good at?"

Meka: "She has soldiers, lots and lots of soldiers, who can pop up anytime and anywhere."

This sentence sounded a bit vague, but Dong Zhi and the others soon understood what it meant.

The moment they set foot on Princess Island, the city of ice and snow, they seemed to sense their arrival. Countless sharp thorns transformed from ice and snow penetrated the ground and popped up around them like a silent welcome guard.

Everyone was startled, and hurriedly dodged to dodge, but the ice and snow thorns emerged much faster than they imagined. Within a few seconds, the thorns had quickly stood around them, forming a large area that could not be seen at a glance. White ice crystals.

Liu Si reacted a little slower, the sharp ice crystals next to him almost pierced through the soles of his feet, leaving him with a hole in the opposite direction.

"Meka, can you get in touch with your friend?"

The little octopus lay on Winter Solstice's shoulder, and said listlessly: "No way, my body's energy has been exhausted, and it's also very difficult to grow bigger."

Everyone had to carefully walk through the ice and snow. Li Han'er was inattentive, and his shoulder brushed against the edge of the ice crystal, and his clothes were immediately torn.

"Be careful, these ices are sharper than real swords!"

In such a world, ice and snow are no longer stunning natural phenomena or works of art to look at, but deadly weapons.

Winter Solstice suddenly felt that even if the French came here before them, they might not have an advantage, and the other party didn't know that the Golden Apple was on this island, and they might turn around and go to other islands after encountering setbacks, so the rules of the game generally It's fair to say that strength is important, but luck also plays a big role.

When they finally passed through the thorns of ice and snow, another large area popped out from the ground.

Zhang Song became impatient, and directly sacrificed his sword.

As soon as he let go of his hand, the long sword flew out directly, and the thorny ice crystals in front of him were instantly cut down to below the calf by the flying sword.

Thorns are growing continuously, and the sword light is also criss-crossing in the sky. Under the sun, it is extremely white and dazzling. Extending from the road they walked, there are ice crystal fragments everywhere, shining like scattered jewels. Picking it up, Meka was amazed again and again, seeing everyone put their swords into their sheaths, and said regretfully: "Go ahead!"

The winter solstice can't laugh or cry, this octopus, regardless of its size and intelligence, will definitely not be more mature than Wang Chaosheng mentally.

"We are going to enter this ice and snow city, are there any traps there?"

"I don't know, I have never been here before. I have been living under the Arctic Ocean before, but Meka has a lot of weapons, and this is her world."

As if in response to the octopus's words, the snowflakes falling all over the sky condensed in the air for a moment, turning into soldiers in armor with spears in their hands.

"Scattering beans into soldiers!" Yang Shouyi's tone was full of surprise, he did not expect that there were people proficient in this kind of Taoism in this kind of place.

"That Elizabeth should be able to control the ice and snow!" Liu Qingbo said. He has always been a person who is more courageous in the war and overcomes difficulties. This time he brought out the Demon Demon Sword and wanted to show it off to the whole world.

However, foreigners don't know the origin of the Fumo Sword, nor who Zhong Kui is. He suffers from killing zombies and has no sense of accomplishment. Seeing so many enemies now, he is excited instead. The Fumo Sword seems to sense the master's emotions. The hand is about to move, buzzing, and I can't wait.
