At this moment He Ao has no time to care about these strong and pungent smells.
Giant Lizard's dissected body collided with the incoming tentacles, briefly hindering the tentacles' attack. He Ao took advantage of the situation and turned back to avoid the tentacles' attack.
He Ao glanced at Short Sword, who still had Giant Lizard semi-solidified biological tissue stuck to his hand, and saw that the sword had not been knocked out.
This sword can be used to break the defense of e-level Exotic Beast like Giant Lizard, and the quality is not that bad.
Perhaps the original design of Research Institute was to make it cope with the e-class Exotic Beast.
He Ao danced with swords, held swords in both hands, and looked up at the octopus.
Those octopus tentacles pierced Giant Lizard's body, then threw it aside casually, and attacked He Ao again.
He Ao tried his best to dodge these tentacles, and countless data flashed through his mind to form a combat model of this octopus.
The so-called life and death in battle is actually a matter of a split second.
Just like two people fighting with weapons, what they compete for is strength and the skill of using strength. If two swords are put together, whoever is stronger and uses force skillfully can turn the sword away and pierce the other's heart with one sword, and the other will die.
Of course, real combat is a little more complicated than this, but the principles are the same.
When maintaining a stalemate, observe carefully to find the opponent's weakness, then cross the stalemate balance point, strike suddenly, and kill with one blow.
At present, the abilities displayed by the octopus monster include:
First, the control over the corpse lizard.
Second, the hard skull, eyelids, and bones inside the tentacles.
Third, the attack from the tentacles can easily penetrate the attack power of black Giant Lizard.
Fourth, mental attack.
Among these abilities, mental attack can temporarily delay He Ao's movements, but it is not fatal. The dead lizard can pose a direct threat to He Ao, but as long as He Ao gathers those lizards and kills the octopus, this ability can be treated as non-existent.
So what can pose a life threat to He Ao now is the tentacle attack.
In conjunction with psychic attacks, it is possible for these tentacles to kill He Ao.
For He Ao, the biggest obstacle to killing the octopus is the strong bones of the octopus, whether it is the skull, eyelids, or the bones inside the tentacles.
These bones form a strong defense.
During the flash battles, He Ao established a more perfect battle model for the octopus monster in his mind.
Through the movement of those tentacles and some brief collisions, he gradually figured out the structure of the bones in the octopus's tentacles.
Those bones are roughly in the shape of a "∧", nested together one by one, with large gaps left between bones to ensure the flexible movement of the tentacles.
Rather than saying that these tentacles are tentacles, they are actually more like the extended limbs of this giant "octopus".
But since bones are used, it means that the flexibility of this octopus tentacle is not as good as real tentacles.
Now that we have figured out the structure and opponent's capabilities, He Ao can try to start a counterattack.
He had been suppressed just now, and he didn't even make any effective counterattack.
But there is one thing to do before counterattacking.
These tentacles are completely black and can blend into the night almost perfectly, and the scarlet eyes of the octopus are extremely dazzling in the night.
While these eyes attracted some of He Ao's attention, they actually provided a layer of cover for those pitch-black tentacles.
He Ao's vision in the dark is not that good. In this case, he was almost successfully attacked by tentacles several times.
It's not a good thing to fight in an environment where others are good at it.
He Ao held the sword behind his back, freed his index finger and thumb, took out a small black finger-like stick from his chest, and stuck it on his shoulder.
There must be light.
The moment He Ao released his fingers and changed Short Sword from reverse holding to upright holding, a dazzling light shot out from his shoulders.
This is the mini bright flashlight distributed on Combat Suit.
He Ao just didn't take out this flashlight just now. He was just waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an opportunity to fight back after gradually becoming familiar with the octopus's attack methods.
Generally, creatures that are accustomed to living in the dark, no matter how strong they are, or whether they can receive light or not, will be somewhat sensitive to light.
When the strong light came on, most of the octopus's eyes closed instantly, and its dancing tentacles fell into a brief stillness.
This is a brief brain freeze after being exposed to strong stimulation.
This is the time He Ao wants.
The Qi sinking in his Dantian was mobilized by him, and quickly passed through his arms, attaching to the two Short Sword.
The silver sword light flashed past and cut along the gaps between the bones of the tentacles in the sky. The sharp sword edge sliced through the dark muscles, leaving a deep crack.
He Ao Twisted his wrist slightly, and while maintaining the sword's momentum, he allowed the sword's edge to deflect slightly, and directly cut off the two tentacles.
But it wasn't just these two tentacles that he wanted to cut off. As the sword edge flashed past, several more tentacles were cut off.
When the octopus reacted, He Ao had already cleared a path among the dense tentacles and headed straight in front of the octopus's huge head.
From Hyper-memory's perspective, the shadow of the octopus's soul is strongest on this head, and his weakness should also be on this head.
He Ao jumped up, stepped on the tentacle next to him, and used the force to jump directly to the top of the octopus's head. The fine steel Short Sword attached to the "qi" reflected a faint crystal brilliance under the strong light flashlight on his shoulder.
The octopus seemed to be aware of He Ao's plan at this moment.
Woo——
A whimpering cry sounded, and powerful mental power attacked He Ao, trying to delay He Ao's actions.
Countless tentacles that were still intact began to return from the night and rushed towards them quickly.
At this moment, He Ao is in front of the octopus. Once those tentacles return, He Ao will undoubtedly die.
Even the dead corpses Giant Lizard in the distance began to rush towards He Ao crazily.
At this moment, He Ao glanced at the eyes on these heads.
Mental Interference!
As if a thunder exploded in the octopus's mind, all its movements stopped for a moment.
At the same time, He Ao, who was mentally attacked, also slowed down his movements.
Both parties are frozen, which means there is no stiffness.
But He Ao's movements were inertial. During the period when both parties were stiff, he was a little closer to the octopus's head.
At the moment when consciousness returned, He Ao was already close to the octopus's head. He placed his feet on the top of the octopus's head and slammed down Ground Spike with two Short Swords in his hands.
The bones that were hard enough to withstand bullets were pierced by the Short Sword blessed with "Qi" like paper.
He Ao chose this location for a reason.
With the blessing of "Qi", he could roughly see the energy flow lines inside the octopus.
And the place under his feet is the most important Energy Convergence Point of the octopus. Even if it is not the spiritual center of the octopus, it is still an important organ.
The moment Short Sword penetrated, He Ao suddenly held the sword hilt and cut it on both sides. Each scarlet eye was directly cut in half by the sharp blade, and purple blood spattered onto He Ao's gray Combat Suit.
A shorter tentacle returned the fastest. It flew towards He Ao and stabbed He Ao in the back.
He Ao side of his body dodged this tentacle, preventing his heart from being pierced, but a large piece of flesh and blood was still taken away from his left shoulder, with light purple Gray Radiance blood flowing out from the wound.
He Ao gritted his teeth and suddenly used Short Sword to cut in all directions, cutting the octopus's head open like petals.
Under this attack, the huge octopus struggled crazily, with countless tentacles flying towards He Ao. Its body was also shaking constantly, trying to throw He Ao off.
But all this was in vain, He Ao allowed those tentacles to leave several wounds on his body, and the movements of his hands never stopped.
Finally, with a soft sound, when He Ao's Short Sword hit a hard bone, the octopus's body stiffened and slowly fell from the sky.
"Ugh——"
This time the octopus's whine seemed different from the previous ones. The sound gradually became softer and finally disappeared completely after the octopus died.
The jet-black lizard, which was running at the front and lunged at He Ao with its huge mouth open, lost all movement in mid-air, flew past He Ao, and fell to the ground.
"Hahu-"
He Ao gasped for air and fell down on the octopus's body. His body was covered with blood, some purple and some red.
Part of this blood belongs to the octopus, and part of it belongs to himself.
Even the bright flashlight on his shoulder had been knocked off long ago and fell aside.
At this moment He Ao did not close Hyper-memory. He held the sword in his hand, peeled off the octopus's shell, and saw what had just blocked his sword.
It is a bridge-like bone that connects the octopus skull and rear tentacles. It is cross-shaped, long up and down, and short left and right.
This bone is extremely hard, and it actually blocks the Short Sword that is covered with "Qi".
He Ao gathered more Qi on the sword and used force to split the bone from the upper and lower ends.
The severed bones are just short at the top and long at the bottom, so they naturally look like a Short Sword.
It's a pity that this "sword" has an oval interface and no edge.
But it doesn't matter, you can think of a way.
And just after He Ao took off the "Bone Sword", the internal structure of the octopus's head that was messed up by He Ao also appeared in front of him.
This octopus seemed to have more than one brain. Several human-sized brains were scattered inside the head. At He Ao's feet, where he saw the energy gathering, there was a purple piece of Crystal that looked like an octahedron.
This piece of Crystal is about the size of a thumb, and is wrapped with nerves and flesh.
A faint attraction came from Crystal.
He Ao hesitated for a moment, bent down, and reached out to touch the Crystal.
With his touch, faint Purple Radiance gathered in Crystal. At that moment, He Ao felt that his spirit escaped and established contact with all the dead around him. Countless cries from the souls sounded in his mind, almost filling his brain.
He Ao shook his head, forcibly regained his spirit, took out the piece of Crystal from the flesh and blood, and put it into the clothes bag.
There seems to be nothing special about the remaining parts of the octopus. The octopus is completely dead and there is no corpse.
He Ao breathed a sigh of relief, canceled Hyper-memory, and also canceled the blessing of "Qi" to Short Sword.
At that moment, a fierce exhaustion hit his brain.
Hyper-memory's free time has long been consumed. Almost from the second half of the battle, He Ao entered the krypton life mode.
He took out two bottles of Corpse Flower solution from his waist and drank it, and then his mental state improved.
At the same time, the two Short Swords in his hands were suddenly covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and then shattered into countless metal fragments with a "bang" sound.
They could not withstand the strengthening of "Qi". The high-intensity battle just now had left them on the verge of fragmentation. After He Ao canceled the blessing of "Qi", they could no longer maintain their own form and were instantly broken.
He Ao glanced at the Bone Sword he had just picked up, then lowered his head and looked at the octopus corpse.
Then he pulled out Fine Steel Dagger and cut off all the good-looking and edible meat from the octopus.
I don't know if the meat can be eaten. In order to fight this octopus, he not only used up a wisp of "qi" he had cultivated today, but also used up half of the wisp of qi he originally brought with him. If he can't make up for it, he will lose blood.
Then He Ao found the lizard meat package that had been thrown aside just because of the battle. The lizard meat inside had leaked out, but luckily it was not dirty.
He Ao found the hemostatic spray and gauze from Combat Suit, briefly bandaged his wounds, then wrapped the lizard meat and octopus meat and carried them on his back.
He picked up the bright flashlight that had fallen aside.
This flashlight is all good, but it consumes electricity, doesn't last long, and can't be used to illuminate the road.
He Ao picked up the flashlight and was about to turn it off when his eyes suddenly froze.
In front of him was a vast expanse of black soil filled with humus.
There is nothing strange about this in itself.
What really makes He Ao's eyes linger is the scenery around Black Soil Plaza.
At this moment, the problem that had been floating in his mind finally had an answer.
The Black Soil Plaza in front of him was not the Black Soil Plaza he saw in the afternoon.
He did not get lost and circle back to the original Black Soil Plaza, but arrived in a new area.
It's just that in this new place, there is a Black Soil Plaza that is exactly the same as what he saw in the afternoon.
A terrifying suspicion suddenly emerged in his mind.
This Black Soil Plaza appears to be the habitat of this octopus.
It is possible for an octopus to have many habitats.
But there is also a possibility that an octopus has only one habitat.
Different habitats correspond to different octopuses.
If this is the case, then this octopus is not a solitary creature, but a social creature!
"Ugh——"
"Ugh——"
The moment this thought emerged, mournful wails suddenly sounded from all directions, as if they were mourning the death of their companions.
These condolences spread across almost all areas around He Ao.
"Ugh——"
Before He Ao could be surprised, a louder whine suddenly resounded throughout the sky.
The terrifying coercion swept along with this whine.
B-Rank! The real B-Rank!
He Ao frowned.
At this moment, a small white hand stretched out from the dark night and grabbed He Ao's wrist.
"Shh, come with me."
