Chapter 54: The Three-Eyed Mutant Octopus (Third Update)

  After waiting for Xiao Lang to stabilize, Yang Lei glanced at the two women and set off.

  Two women and one man, plus a wolf. On the way, they encountered level 6 or lower magical beasts, all of which were easily slaughtered by Yang Lei. Now Yang Lei has entered the Martial King realm, and after learning the second volume of Iron Shirt, he is not afraid of facing the early stage of the Martial Emperor. So level 6 magical beasts are all caught with ease.

  "Wow, brother, the water is so clear here." Yang and his two companions arrived at a lake, where the water was crystal clear to the bottom, with fish swimming and playing, a beautiful scene.

  "The water here is so comfortable." Yang Qing came to the lake and washed his face, then turned around and said to Yang Hui and Yang Yue.

  Yang Lei hadn't taken a bath in several days, and seeing the clear lake water, he also had the idea. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Yang Yue say: "Younger brother, you...you go outside and keep watch first, I'll wash up with Qing Shui."

  "That..."

  "What's wrong with you, go quickly." Yang Yue was so embarrassed that she couldn't help it, her face red with anger.

  "Alright, alright, I'll go, won't I."

  Helpless, Yang Lei had no choice but to bring Xiao Lang to the outside of the lake and lay down on a large bluestone.

  Looking at the blue sky, thinking carefully, I've been in this world for almost seven months now. These seven months have seen tremendous changes, and I've gone from being a small bird who couldn't even break through the Qi training period to reaching the Martial King realm. It's amazing how sudden the changes in life can be, truly unpredictable is the way of the world.

  Who would have thought that they themselves were actually not people of this world?

  "Ah......" Just then, a sharp cry came from the other side of the lake.

  Yang Lei didn't think twice and hurriedly rushed over in that direction, without even considering whether they had put on their clothes or not.

  Just arrived, only to see several giant tentacles stretching out of the water, as big as car wheels, two or three meters long, constantly stirring.

  The two women rushed out desperately, without even putting on their clothes, and Yang Yue's hands were still dripping with blood.

  Yang Lei was furious at the sight, and inside there was actually a huge water monster, seeing that the two women were about to be caught. Yang Lei's mind moved, and a longbow appeared in his hand, which was exactly the Pursuing Soul Bow. He shot an arrow at the tentacle.

  "Ouch." The creature yelped in pain and immediately recoiled.

  "Run fast, I'll deal with this beast!" Yang Lei shouted loudly at the two women, and then flew towards the monster himself.

  Yang Lei is not an impulsive person. Previously, it was just a critical situation, but now he needs to figure out what this thing is and where it comes from. As the saying goes, "know yourself and know your enemy, win every battle".

  Appraisal technique.

  Three-eyed Octopus Monster, a 7th-level water system magic beast. Due to some special power, it evolved into three eyes and has an extremely strong control over water since birth. It is the king of the clear water lake and can exert its strength to the extreme in the water. Once out of the water, its strength drops to one-tenth.

  This is actually a three-eyed octopus monster, and it's the king of this lake. It seems that this guy is not simple at all. Moreover, the third eye of this octopus monster has evolved due to some mysterious energy, so there must be some strange treasure in this Ming Water Lake. Therefore, this three-eyed octopus must be killed, otherwise, we can't know the secret under the water.

  Soul pursuit.

  Basic Archery

  "Whoosh."

  Another arrow shot out, this one was fast and vicious.

  "Hmm."

  The poisonous arrow shot into the third eye of the three-eyed octopus monster, and the three-eyed octopus suddenly felt immense pain, constantly wailing and rolling over. The clear lake water suddenly churned up huge waves. This octopus monster, who knows what kind of power or energy it had obtained, actually evolved from an ordinary octopus to the current master of the water. However, this was also its bad luck, as it didn't know Yang Lei's strength and wasn't aware of how terrifying his archery skills were. It was shot by one arrow in its third eye, which happened to be its weak point.

  Yang Lei took advantage of the situation and shot arrow after arrow without stopping.

  After three arrows, Yang Lei's figure lowered, and he replaced the longbow in his hand with a Wind Concealment Knife.

  "Wind Blade Seven Kills, Wind Thunder Kill."

  Water is a good conductor of electricity, and this lightning strike hit the giant three-eyed octopus monster with increased power. The octopus monster was already dying from being shot and poisoned by the toxic arrow, but this strike was the final blow, causing it to lose its last bit of life force instantly.

  "Ding! Congratulations, player killed a level 6 mutant three-eyed octopus, experience +20,000, chi +200, points +200."

  "Ding, congratulations player on obtaining a level 6 magic core."

  "Ding, congratulations player on obtaining Water Crystal."

  Shuǐ líng jīng, what is this Shuǐ líng jīng? Could it be that this Shuǐ líng jīng is the culprit behind the mutation of this octopus, transforming from an ordinary octopus to a three-eyed octopus and becoming the overlord of the Ming Water Lake?

  Appraisal technique.

  Aquamarine

  The crystal of the Water Attribute Spirit's aura, greatly helps those who cultivate the Water Attribute, cultivating a thousand miles in one day.

  Is this the crystallization of the Water Attribute Spirit's aura? Upon seeing this, Yang Lei involuntarily took a deep breath, although he had never heard that there were immortals on this continent. But just by hearing the name "Spirit's aura", one could tell it was no ordinary item. The mere fact that this Spirit's aura alone could help Water Attribute cultivators cultivate at an alarming rate of a thousand miles in a single day was terrifying, and this was truly a priceless treasure.

  Yang Lei thought of his second sister Yang Yue again. Wasn't this water crystal prepared for her? She was exactly the one with a water attribute physique, it seemed like fate.

  Since these three-eyed octopuses were killed by themselves, Yang Lei naturally wanted to dive into the water to investigate.

  But it's not time yet, after all, the two girls have just been frightened, at least wait until the emotions of the two girls calm down before talking.

  So Yang Lei killed the three-eyed giant octopus and came to the side of the two women, at this time the two women had already put on their clothes, but the water stains on their hair and body had not dried yet, with a particularly enticing flavor.

  "Second sister, Qing Shui, are you both alright?" Yang Wei asked.

  "I'm fine, but Moon Sister is injured." Yang Qing said with slightly red eyes.

  "Where are you hurt? Let me see. How's the injury?" Yang Wei heard this and remembered that Second Sister Yang Yue's hand was indeed dripping with blood earlier.

  Yang Yue saw Yang Wei being so concerned about herself, and her heart felt sweet. She said, "Younger brother, don't worry, I'm fine. It's just a minor injury, and now I've mostly recovered."

  "Is it really nothing?" Yang Wei asked with some concern.

  Yang Yue nodded and said, "Really nothing's wrong, would I, your sister, cheat you?"

  "It's all right as long as nothing is wrong." Yang Lei let out a sigh of relief.

  "What was that thing, is it dead now? Did you kill it?" Yang Yue asked again, "That guy actually dared to scare me and wanted to eat me, I must chop it into pieces." Thinking back to when she and Qing Shui were taking a bath, she didn't expect such a big thing to suddenly appear, scaring her half to death, chasing after her and Qing Shui, causing her hand to be injured, and... and also letting Yang Lie see her and Qing Shui's bodies, although he was her brother, but... it made her feel so embarrassed.

  So I thought of that guy and hated him so much that I gritted my teeth.

  "It was just a mutated octopus, and it's already been killed by me." Yang Lei looked at Yang Yue, who was gnashing her teeth with an air of irreconcilable hatred, and his heart skipped a beat. This woman was terrifying when she got angry and remembered past grievances.

  "Was he killed?"

  Yang Lei nodded, not only was he killed by himself, but his body was also collected into the space ring, because the bodies of these demons were very useful, especially those above level 6, so Yang Lei specially refined a few rings to hold those demon corpses.

  "Where's the corpse? I want to whip the corpse." Yang Yue said gritting her teeth.

  Yang Lei heard this and his heart skipped a beat. Indeed, the woman who was angry was terrifying. It seems that what those female scholars said is true: "It's difficult to deal with women and petty people." As the saying goes, "It's better to offend a gentleman than to offend a petty person," and another saying goes, "It's better to offend a petty person than to provoke a woman." It can be seen that women are the most terrifying, especially when they're angry.

  "This... this, Second Sister, isn't it unnecessary now?"

  "No way, I must flog the corpse!" Yang Yue Xiu glared, "All the grievances I've suffered in this life are on this day, and today I must flog the corpse."

  It's no wonder, previously she was almost bullied by Yang Tianlong, now taking a bath and being scared by that three-eyed octopus, almost losing her life, how could she not be furious, with anger pent up in her heart, if she didn't vent it out, she might get sick from holding it in, so Yang Lui threw the giant octopus's corpse out of the ring.

  "Alright, Second Sister, the squid's corpse is here, you and Qing Shui can slowly dissect it. I'll go to the bottom of the lake to take a look, see what's inside that caused this squid's mutation." Yang Lei said.

  "What did you say? You want to go underwater to see what's at the bottom of the lake?" Yang Yue hastily grabbed Yang Lei's hand, no longer paying attention to the squid's corpse.

  Yang Lei nodded: "I suspect that there may be some treasure inside, otherwise the octopus would not have mutated, it would not have become so powerful and become the overlord of this lake."

  "No way, this is absolutely not okay." Yang Yue listened to Yang Wei's words, but she disagreed, her tone was very firm, as if there was no room for negotiation.

  Yang Lei naturally knew that she was concerned about herself, worried about herself, so she didn't dare to let herself take risks. After all, this lake water is not on land, and there may be crises below, with good and bad luck unpredictable.

  However, Yang Wei couldn't help but go down. Joking aside, there must be some kind of treasure down here, and that Water Spirit Crystal is definitely still here. How could he not go down? That's something worth a whole city! It's a treasure! If he leaves it behind without taking it, he'll be cursed by heaven. He's already a poor man, and with such a good opportunity in front of him, not taking it would be too much of a waste.

  "To reassure Yang Yue and let himself go treasure hunting with peace of mind, Yang Lei couldn't help but say to Yang Yue with a relaxed face: 'Second sister, don't worry, you don't need to worry about me. Since I dare to go down, I have the ability to protect myself. You should believe in me.'"

  "Trust you, trust what?" Yang Yue Xiu's eyes widened and she said, "This place is not like any ordinary place. Down there... everything down there is water, it's not on land. If something happens, you won't even have time to escape. How can I be at ease? It's not allowed to go down, just means it's not allowed."

  Yang Lei shook his head and said, "This time I have to go, I have a premonition, a strong premonition that there's something down there that can help me. Before you guys took a bath, I wanted to go take a look, but you all insisted on taking a bath and chased me away, so I didn't say anything."

  "What did you say? Younger brother, are you telling the truth? Don't deceive me, don't talk nonsense!" Yang Yue was shocked upon hearing this. If what he said was true, then it might be a great opportunity. Should she let him go or not?
