Chapter 183 - The Killing Methods Of Rich Players

The creature before their eyes was a huge marsh octopus, about ten meters in length. Its body was as white as the color of bone, and it gave off an unbearable stench.

The canyon was dark, so it was hard to figure out the size of the marshes.

But the huge octopus that was hiding underneath gave Lautner and Burned Cinder a big fright.

Its Advanced aura intimidated them to such a point that they felt breathless.

According to logic, this kind of octopus should have been recorded in history.

Even though the Legendary continent was huge and had various mystical creatures, people had seen them before and recorded them in the magical beasts bestiary.

But as for this marsh octopus and the creatures in the canyon, both of them had no knowledge of them. They tried to recall any links with the creatures that they had seen before.

They believed that these creatures were mythological beasts…

When the huge marsh octopus appeared, three large tentacles stretched out and tried to grab them as if they were fast food.

The marsh octopus was puzzled. Where had these two morons come from?

After the passing of its father and mother, the octopus had stayed on Stormy Island for many years. But no creatures had fallen into the canyon. The octopus could only feed on large earthworms, crabs, and spiders. But now in front of him, two sets of fast food having powerful magical auras appeared.

Tsk, tsk. It would be a waste to not accept food from the Heavens…

“Fatal blows!” The duo shouted in this dire situation and activated their full power.

At that moment, Flames and holy light emitted from them.

They managed to inflict gaping holes on the tentacles.

Shrill screams pierced through the canyon.

The magical beasts trembled as they hid in terror in the dark…

The Advanced octopus was very strong.

But it did not mean that the Intermediate Lautner and Burned Cinder did not have the ability to fend off its attacks. Especially when Lautner and Burned Cinder were on the verge of attaining the Advanced!

In a gnawing pain, the octopus swung its large tentacles in an effort to slap Lautner and Burned Cinder. His attack created large pits in the slippery mud. The flying muddy water was powerful enough to inflict damage to novice professionals.

But both of its opponents were like agile monkeys. While dodging the tentacles, they retaliated and inflicted massive damage on the octopus.

In the short period of fighting,

Both of them remained intact, and they almost cut off a tentacle.

“Be careful!” Burned Cinder shouted as he activated his battle energy shield.

The marsh octopus had received a large wound on its belly that was rather deep and gruesome, but it still used four tentacles to support its body. The octopus then opened its cave-like mouth that was densely packed with sharp teeth.

Boom!

A dense black light emanated from the mouth.

The light scratched both of their bodies and blew a huge hole out of the cliff. Half of the canyon started quaking violently.

Both of them were greatly restrained by the sequential firings of the magical black cannon. Who could fend off such brutal attacks?

Fortunately, the octopus went into a cooling period after some heavy shooting. Then it started using its tentacles to squish them…

Lautner felt helpless. He thought that it was not a big deal to bait those disgusting little monsters. But he did not expect to encounter a huge monster underneath the marshes…

“The octopus should have come out later when Prince William would have descended to harvest the magical herbs. Then it would be a fair fight between two Advanced opponents. Why do I feel like I have been conned?”

Burned Cinder also felt a little indignant. He believed that he would sacrifice for the Lord by using his body or life…

But when he was happily watching the falling Lautner…

Why did William push him down too?

Unwittingly, Burned Cinder felt betrayed, but he would not betray the Lord. He would vent his anger on the monster.

William watched the fight from above. The three of them were BOSSES. It was not easy for them to kill each other.

“It’s a level 89 marsh octopus. Tsk, tsk. It’s a mythological creature. But even though its level is high, it has only Grandmaster bloodlines. Otherwise, it won’t be easy being the bait for the monster.”

“Magical beasts have a size advantage over intelligent races. The large-sized and Advanced octopus will have about tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of Health Points.

Due to its large size, the octopus was not as agile as Lautner and Burned Cinder. Hence, it tried to slap both of them as one swatted flies.

Magical beasts were also intelligent, but their Intelligence was inferior to the intelligent races.

Even a smart Troll was more intelligent than the magical beasts.”

William had good insights about the magical beasts. As long as the monster could be baited out, he could have a chance to kill it!

“When a powerful magical beast witnesses two potential food sources messing with its titbits, it will feel unhappy. It will endure in the beginning. But after making sure there is no danger, it will reveal itself, and eat the intruders!” William readied his bow and took aim.

He had no intention to do a leap of faith…

In the previous cloud-gulping python incident, even if he had not managed to slash the python, it would have been alright for him to be swallowed by the python.

But the octopus was different. He had no intention to jump into its huge mouth that was lined with countless teeth.

Lautner and Burned Cinder were panting hard. Lautner had been slapped to the point of being dizzy.

If not for the soft and slippery mud underneath, the octopus would have slapped them silly…

After all, it was an Advanced BOSS. They tried to evade the slapping tentacles while retaliating at the same time.

But they did not have the chance to get close to the creature.

The marsh octopus was immersed in the marshes, and if both of them tried to get close, they would sink into the marshes. And if they were dragged into the marshes, they would definitely perish.

They had almost run out of battle energy, so their attacks became weaker.

Their speed became slower, and they became more lethargic. The damages that they inflicted diminished…

At that moment, the octopus that had been using three to four tentacles flashed out six tentacles. It slapped both of them to the ground.

But suddenly, a ray of lightning flashed!

Bang!

The skull of the octopus had a huge bleeding hole. A sticky fluid gushed out.

And before the octopus could react to the developments,

A figure wielding a two-meter long Thunder Spear appeared on top of the octopus’ head.

He stabbed the spear down!

Boom!

Blinding lightning exploded.

Another huge gaping hole appeared on the octopus’ head, while numerous electric arcs appeared on the octopus’ body. The tentacles that were about to grasp Lautner and Burned Cinder relaxed their grips.

Roar!

Ear-piercing screams reverberated in the canyon.

William was taken aback. He had not inflicted a fatal blow.

He ran out of luck. The Fury of Thunder God was not activated!

The cumulative damages on the octopus were only worth 80,000 to 90,000 Health Points…

The octopus still had more than five Health Points!

But even though William was not a lucky person,

He was extremely rich.

William threw a wine barrel into the octopus’ gaping wound before he flew up the sky.

“Gosh, is this magical beast worth the wine barrel?” Within three seconds, Lautner and Burned Cinder immediately dug their trenches and hid inside. They did not care about the disgusting earthworms. Taking cover was their priority.

Therefore, the marsh octopus recovered itself and waved its tentacles angrily…

A ray of light emanated from the octopus’ body.

In the next second, due to a wild magical power, the octopus rapidly expanded…

Boom!

A loud explosion rocked the canyon!

Its flesh and blood vaporized in the white light.

The explosive formation created by three magical crystals was that powerful…

After three minutes, William was on a steep cliff glancing at the canyon that had been destroyed by the explosion. He smiled and said, “The octopus did not give me any chances. I had to use 10,000 gold coins to kill it!”

The three magical crystals, each one cost more than 3,000 gold coins…

They were invaluable!

They were strategic treasures that were owned by Kings. They were not something that should be used to kill magical beasts. They were supposed to power the magical cannons.

They could also be used to make magical equipment.

Nobody would use them as explosives…

It was simple.

William was very rich…

Him using the magic crystals to kill the magical beast was an act of extravagance. Because professionals hunted magical beasts for their flesh and magic crystals…

But did William do it for magical beasts?

He was doing it for the magical herbs…

He glanced at the few remaining magical herbs and flew down without any emotion…

No way!

He had to find the exploded magic crystals.

Otherwise, it was a great loss!

Lautner and Burned Cinder climbed out of the ground. They were covered with mud and fresh blood. They had to dig into the ground and battle the huge earthworms before they could run out.

They observed the bloody flesh that was stuck on both sides of the canyon and a few burning tentacles. They were speechless.

They felt that Lord William was a bit reckless.

Or, they knew they were here for the magical herbs. Since the marsh octopus had shown itself and was injured, William would not let it off. However, if the octopus were to submerge into the marshes, then there was nothing they could do.

In that situation, nobody would dare to harvest magical herbs.

If they were dragged into the marshes, they would definitely perish.

“What’s there to see? Help me find the magic crystals!” William flew in the air while harvesting the violet flowers warily.

There were hundreds of flowers initially. After the explosion, there were only tens of the flowers left.

But the magical herbs were a great find.

[Marsh Flower]

[Level: Advance]

[Quality: Advance]

“Hehe, it’s a great treasure as it allows a permanent increase in attributes. Unfortunately, there are no Potions Fairies in this desolate place. Otherwise, I’ll strike it rich!

“In my previous life, I couldn’t afford the expensive magical herbs. But now, I’ll consume all the magical herbs on Stormy Island. I don’t believe I can’t attain the limits of my four-dimensional attributes.” William laughed mischievously and placed all the magical herbs into his space ring.

“My lord!”

“Have you found the magic crystals?” William turned his head. He thought the magic crystals were destroyed by the explosion.

“No, look what I’ve found?” Lautner pointed to the cliff body. After the explosion, a wall was exposed…

That was a wall…

A human-made wall…
