A Gray Robe Wizard at the level of a Level 3 Wizard darted through the air above the sinkhole, constantly changing direction to evade the Energy Octopus's many tentacle attacks. But in the end, one tentacle caught up to him and lashed across his body.
"Smack!"
Several dazzling flashes erupted from the Wizard's body. All three Energy Shields shattered in an instant. The Wizard spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward, crashing down with a pale face. He had already suffered severe injuries.
Witnessing this, the expressions of the other Wizards changed. They became even more clearly aware of the Energy Octopus's strength—the Energy Octopus had endured the attacks of so many of them without suffering much harm, and a casual strike could strip a Wizard of most of their combat ability. If the Energy Octopus attacked with its full strength, it might be capable of instantly killing any one of them.
The Female Wizard Nora pressed her lips together, already holding a small vial of gray liquid in her hand. Emerson's expression also turned grave.
After successfully severely injuring one Wizard, the Energy Octopus did not press its advantage and finish him off. Instead, it swung out a tentacle, wrapped up Xi Ou Duo Ke, who was in the coffin, and swallowed him in one gulp.
Afterward, six tentacles shot upward and turned completely crimson. They suddenly stabbed forward as though piercing into an unknown space. Then they pulled hard in all directions, and a new white-glowing "Space Hole" appeared in the sinkhole. The Energy Octopus leaped up and drilled toward it.
It turned out that the Energy Octopus did not intend to kill everyone in retaliation. It only wanted to take what it wanted and return. This trading experience was unlike anything it had ever encountered.
