Chapter 227: Pursuit
The water was bone-chillingly cold, and Duan Qing suddenly remembered the feeling when he accidentally stepped on the stone shell and fell into the water cave in the Jinxuan Sect's spiritual mine.
However, his current body can completely ignore this level of stimulation.
At first, the water was very turbid, and Duan Qing could hardly see anything. After diving down for more than ten feet, the water gradually became clear, and the cave became much wider.
However, the cave was no longer going down, but turned and extended straight forward.
Although the water was clear, the things in front of him were clear at a glance, and there was nothing abnormal in his perception, but Duan Qing always felt a chill on his back!
Duan Qing suddenly thought of something at this time, secretly scolding himself for being stupid, took out the water-repellent bead from the storage bag and injected spiritual power to stimulate it. A transparent cover immediately expanded the water and enveloped Duan Qing.
This water-repellent bead was given to him by Mo Gen that year. It is quite useful underwater and can move freely. He didn't think of it just now.
Duan Qing manipulated the water-repellent beads to move forward for more than ten feet. After exiting the cave, the front suddenly became open, and the water was no longer stagnant like before, but flowing living water!
What happened! Duan Qing immediately became alert and manipulated the water-repellent beads to rush upwards. In a few breaths, he emerged from the water.
Looking at the vast underground space around him, the water-repellent beads floated with the water flow on the river surface that was more than ten feet wide. Duan Qing felt a sense of laughter and tears. Isn't this a dark river!
Although it is definitely not the section he has been to before, judging from the width of the river and the similar environment on both sides, it should be the same source as the dark river under the spiritual mine!
Duan Qing was a little surprised that he returned to the dark river by mistake.
But in this way, the existence of the tentacle monster makes sense. He encountered two strange beasts, Xuanyin Kuihu and Huanyi Butterfly, in the Jinxuan Sect's spiritual mine that communicates with this dark river. If the tentacle monster came from this dark river, it would not be surprising.
Maybe the tentacle monster is some kind of strange beast he doesn't know! But its unperceivable characteristics are really strange!
Scanning the wide river surface, the dark river on both sides is endless, Duan Qing is quite helpless, where can he find the tentacle monster now!
Oh, forget it! It seems that God's will is so, the beast's life should not be dead!
At this point, Duan Qing can only give up chasing the tentacle monster, control the water-repellent beads to dive, and go upstream to the cave where he came out before, preparing to return from the original route and leave the dark river.
The speed of the dark river is not fast, and the time he stayed on the water surface just now was not washed away for a long time. Soon, the cave entrance was clearly visible.
At this time, a familiar figure was also slipping out from a crack in the upstream and secretly swimming towards the cave entrance. The action was very obscene. It was the tentacle monster.
Obviously, he had the same idea as Duan Qing and wanted to sneak back from the cave.
This beast is really a chicken thief! Duan Qing was stunned at first, then overjoyed, holding the sword and controlling the water-repellent beads to chase the tentacle monster.
The tentacle monster also discovered Duan Qing at this time, and its movements were obviously paused, and then it immediately accelerated to swim towards the cave entrance.
How could Duan Qing let it succeed? He immediately controlled the water-repellent beads to block the cave entrance, and at the same time used all his strength to perform the sword-controlling technique to hit the cave entrance.
He didn't dare to rashly use the flying sword to attack the tentacle monster underwater. If it split and reborn again, it would be enough for him.
The tentacle monster was very fast underwater, far faster than the water-repellent beads, but it was still faster than Duan Qing's flying sword. Ju Qing arrived at the cave entrance one step ahead, scratched a circle at the cave entrance, and easily cut the rocks at the cave entrance into pieces, and the falling rocks continued to fall.
Seeing this, the tentacle monster's speed increased by another three points, and it rushed into the cave desperately, but it was still a step late. Before it reached the cave entrance, countless falling rocks had already sealed the cave entrance.
The tentacle monster immediately turned to flee, but at this time Duan Qing had also rushed to the front of the cave entrance, recalled Ju Qing and held it in his hand, and used the control technique on the tentacle monster to try to control it.
Under Duan Qing's control technique, an invisible force immediately enveloped the tentacle monster.
Duan Qing wanted to try to control it directly, but the tentacle monster resisted very fiercely and showed signs of breaking free. Seeing this, Duan Qing immediately changed his strategy and concentrated his control force in one place.
At this time, it was as if an invisible hand was holding the intersection of the three tentacles of the tentacle monster tightly and controlling it firmly.
The three tentacles of the tentacle monster struggled desperately, but this time they could not break free from Duan Qing's control.
After controlling the tentacle monster, Duan Qing immediately manipulated the water-repellent beads to float up, and at the same time pulled the tentacle monster up through the air, waiting to use the fire separation technique to burn the tentacle monster completely after it came out of the water.
The tentacle monster seemed to sense a sense of crisis, and struggled more and more intensely. When it was about to approach the water surface, its three tentacles suddenly struggled violently and broke apart. The body split into four parts at once, and the three broken tentacles bounced off in three directions!
Not good!
Duan Qing made a prompt decision and quickly took back the main body of the tentacle monster that was still under his control and put it into the storage bracelet to isolate it first. He didn't believe that the tentacle monster could regenerate in his storage bracelet without water!
In fact, when he just controlled the tentacle monster, the first thing he thought of was to put it into the storage bracelet first, and then find an opportunity to kill it with fire. This is the safest way.
But to put things into the storage bracelet, you have to touch it. The tentacle monster struggled too violently just now. He was afraid that it would run away and cause more trouble, so he chose to control the tentacle monster and pull it out of the water.
Unexpectedly, the tentacle monster was so decisive and directly cut off its body to survive!
Just as Duan Qing put the main body of the tentacle monster into the storage bracelet, the remaining three tentacles were almost regenerated in the water, and three small tentacle monsters were about to take shape.
Duan Qing was anxious and quickly put away the giant green, and for the first time, he condensed the Vermillion Bird Feathers with both hands at the same time.
Now he was quite proficient in the art of Vermillion Bird Feathers. In a breath, two Vermillion Bird Feathers with lightning power were condensed and hit the two small tentacle monsters transformed by the short tentacles without hesitation.
The speed of the Vermillion Bird Feathers did not slow down much underwater. It turned into two red rays and accurately hit the two tentacle monsters that were about to transform. The accompanying burning power instantly heated up the nearby water.
The tentacle monsters after the two short tentacles were transformed were only the size of normal children. After being hit by the Vermillion Bird Feathers, their entire bodies quickly turned black and carbonized. They were washed by the water flow and turned into countless charcoal blocks scattered in the water, but they could not regenerate!
Duan Qing was somewhat surprised. He did not expect that the Suzaku Feather would still have such a miraculous effect underwater. It seemed that the tentacle monster was indeed quite susceptible to fire magic.
In addition, he felt that the reason why he could kill the two tentacle monsters with the Suzaku Feather might be related to the small size of the two tentacle monsters. If they were larger, the Suzaku Feather would probably not be able to carbonize them completely, and they would still regenerate!
It was all luck!
However, at this time, the long and thick tentacle that bounced in the other direction had already turned into a tentacle monster the size of an ordinary person, and fled downstream along the water flow.
