Li Luo saw Lu Li staring blankly, his expression stiff, and knew that the young man had likely found the key part of the memory.
She said nothing more.
Very obediently, she let go of his arm and stepped back.
Shadows flowed out from the surrounding corners like pure black liquid, silently creeping over the girl's body and weaving themselves into dark, form-fitting attire.
"Li Luo will never betray Benefactor."
As if making a vow, the girl murmured to herself. Her left hand stroked the blood-red pendant around her neck while her right gently brushed over her storage item, retrieving the Teleport Jade Token.
Light and shadows flickered.
The girl vanished, leaving the young man sitting alone in the room.
At this moment, the memory playing in Lu Li's mind showed a towering statue of flesh and blood.
Beneath the statue's eight thick, dragon-like tentacles, countless sea folk knelt in worship.
Smoke from Origin Crystal incense curled upward like clouds and mist.
It made the already oppressive statue appear even more solemn and majestic.
"It's really huge..."
Lu Li sighed sincerely.
Compared to the few flesh-and-blood statues he had seen on Earth, Octopus Lady's statue was clearly several sizes larger!
Maybe it was because of the environment?
Or perhaps the monster flesh that made up the statue was different?
Oranges grown south of the Huai were oranges, but those grown north became trifoliate oranges?
Shaking off his scattered thoughts, Lu Li kept his eyes fixed on the scene.
Starting from the statue's head, his gaze moved downward until it finally settled at the base of the eight massive tentacles.
At the center of all the worshippers knelt a lean man.
His appearance seemed somewhat familiar to Lu Li.
"Octopus Lady's old flame? That handsome merman named Black Whale?"
Lu Li
