Chapter 139 - 120: Demon Beast Tombstone
Chapter 139: Chapter 120: Demon Beast Tombstone
Fang Xiu stared at the Demon Beast that had suddenly appeared.
A single word surfaced in his mind—Cthulhu.
This terrestrial Octopus before him.
It looked just like Cthulhu.
However, Fang Xiu took a closer look.
And noticed some differences.
"Fang Xiu, look!"
By now, Ye Fan had also gotten a clear look at the Demon Beast before them.
He quickly pointed and shouted to Fang Xiu.
"Mhm, I see it."
Fang Xiu watched the Octopus approach with heavy steps.
On its back, it carried a tombstone.
"This can’t be a Demon Beast Tombstone, can it?!"
Ye Fan asked curiously.
Fang Xiu had just gotten a key earlier today.
According to Fang Xiu, it was related to a Demon Beast Tombstone.
Ye Fan had even said that finding a Demon Beast Tombstone was all down to luck.
But who could have guessed that a Demon Beast Tombstone would appear just a short while after nightfall?
Fang Xiu’s luck was just too good, wasn’t it?
Only Fang Xiu knew that his good luck was most likely related to the Celestial Wolf Ring on his hand.
Fang Xiu’s own luck wasn’t bad to begin with.
But now, with the Celestial Wolf Ring, his luck was off the charts.
Although Fang Xiu was a little surprised to see the tombstone-bearing, mobile Eight-armed Octopus Demon Beast,
it was only a slight surprise.
In Fang Xiu’s eyes, this seemed perfectly reasonable.
"Hurry up and go in!"
Ye Fan urged him.
Although he had no idea if it was dangerous inside the Demon Beast Tombstone, many Awakened had obtained great things from within them.
That was why Ye Fan hurriedly urged Fang Xiu on when he saw it appear.
"No rush. First, I want to see what this thing is all about."
Fang Xiu, however, was in no hurry.
He just watched the tombstone-bearing Octopus before him.
He knew that he just needed to use the key to open it and enter the so-called Demon Beast Tombstone.
’But is it really that simple?’
’And where exactly is the keyhole?’
"You kid... you’re certainly cautious!"
Hearing Fang Xiu’s words, Ye Fan just smiled.
If it were him, faced with such a prize, he would have been dying to go inside.
But Fang Xiu remained calm and unhurried.
A person like that could grow to become a truly powerful expert.
Already powerful, yet so cautious.
That was what made for the most terrifying enemy.
At this, Ye Fan once again felt fortunate. Even though he didn’t know if Fang Xiu considered him a friend,
Ye Fan knew they weren’t enemies, at least.
Having an enemy like Fang Xiu would make it impossible to sleep or eat in peace.
"Uncle Ye Fan, keep an eye on the meat for me. I’m going to check out that Demon Beast and see if there’s anything special about it!"
Fang Xiu said to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan was speechless.
’Good heavens! They’d just set aside a piece of meat that Fang Xiu said he’d eat after his Cultivation. Now, faced with a Demon Beast Tombstone that could hold immense treasures, all he was worried about was that piece of meat.’
"Alright, don’t you worry. I’ll definitely watch it for you!"
Ye Fan said with great seriousness.
Fang Xiu nodded slightly, then shot directly toward the Octopus.
He knew he couldn’t let the Octopus get too close.
Because it might ruin his roasted meat.
As Fang Xiu got closer, he discovered that the Octopus, which had looked large from a distance, was actually... much larger than it had seemed.
Its tentacles weren’t really walking.
Instead, they were constantly slapping the ground,
creating a chaotic stomping sound.
This Octopus’s tentacles were much longer than he had imagined.
The moment it saw Fang Xiu,
it whipped a tentacle directly toward him without the slightest hesitation.
"Hmph!"
Fang Xiu didn’t hesitate in the slightest.
He clenched his right hand into a fist,
and threw a punch straight at it.
He didn’t know how much Power this Octopus before him had.
But he possessed the Power of a Level 60 Power Awakener.
If he couldn’t even block this one tentacle,
Fang Xiu would absolutely not enter any Demon Beast Tombstone.
He would just run.
After all, nothing was more important than his own life.
BANG!
Fang Xiu’s fist slammed heavily into the Octopus’s tentacle,
instantly knocking it away.
’Looks like it’s manageable,’
Fang Xiu thought to himself.
Although this Octopus was a bit strong,
it was still within his ability to control.
In other words, if Fang Xiu wanted to kill it, it shouldn’t be a problem.
SWISH SWISH SWISH!
Just as Fang Xiu was thinking,
the Eight-armed Octopus Demon Beast flung three tentacles at him in succession.
Fang Xiu smiled faintly.
He clenched his fist, then threw it forward.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Three consecutive sounds rang out.
Fang Xiu didn’t even try to dodge.
He swiftly batted the tentacles away.
Then, he took out the Life Staff.
"Netherworld Thunder Fall!"
Fang Xiu shouted in a low voice.
The already dark sky instantly grew several shades darker.
Then, countless bolts of black lightning
rained down from the clouds.
When the black lightning began to gather,
the Octopus before him was clearly panicking.
The tentacles it had just been attacking with
were all retracted in that instant.
"So you’re afraid of Thunder, are you?"
Fang Xiu said, looking at the Octopus before him.
He knew it wasn’t because of his aura or anything like that.
It was that this Eight-armed Octopus Demon Beast was genuinely afraid of Thunder.
Just as Fang Xiu finished speaking,
the Eight-armed Octopus Demon Beast, as if it understood him, used a tentacle to mimic a human nodding, and then nodded.
"Hm?"
Now this was something Fang Xiu hadn’t expected.
He originally thought this Octopus was just an ordinary Demon Beast with a tombstone on its back, nothing more.
