Chapter 341 Water Element Magical Beasts Base

With a weird chirr sound, the group of Octopuses made a probing attack. A few of them stretched out their black tentacles at lightning speed, their many suckers sticking to the pirates like superglue. They then forcibly dragged the pirates over to them.

"Be careful!"

"Quick, chop their tentacles off! Quick!"

…

Seeing two strong pirates being dragged off like this, everyone was stunned. The woman captain charged forward while yelling and gritting her teeth. With a swing of her two knives, she chopped off an Octopus' tentacle with a swoosh sound and rescued one of the pirates, who had gone pale.

At the same time, the ferocious leading warrior Novgorod pounced forward with a roar and swiftly hacked off seven or eight tentacles, saving the other pirate.

"Quick, get into formation: the knife wielders in front, the spearmen behind. Hurry!"

Looking at the increasing number of octopuses surrounding them, the female captain gravely gave this command, instructing the pirates to switch formation. Her many years of battles gave her sharp instincts. Faced with these numerous Octopuses, they would only get killed if they tried to make a run for it. They might have a fighting chance if they defended their formation.

Chirr…

After the pirates hacked a few tentacles off, a few of the monsters howled in pain. They curled their remaining tentacles around a few loose rocks, which they then forcefully hurled forward. This was quickly followed by a stream of water which the Octopuses spit out before pouncing, lightning-quick. They were extremely fast! The other Octopuses all followed their lead and pounced, surging forward together.  Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.

"Wind Dagger!"

Under the protection of the guards, the accompanying Spellcaster led the counterattack, casting a big, curved Wind Dagger. Where it passed, the pouncing octopuses dripped with blood. The Octopuses that could not dodge in time even got cut into half by the terrifying Wind Dagger. At the same time, two archers launched an attack, focusing on the big Octopuses, getting headshots from afar.

The Spellcaster and archers were very experienced, with precise attacks. Unfortunately, there were just too many leaping octopuses to kill. In a blink of an eye, the numerous Octopuses pounced on the group, stretching out a swarm of tentacles.

Suck, drag, crush, whip…

In waist-deep seawater, the Octopuses displayed terrifying combat strength.

Some of the Octopuses might not have looked big, but they were strong. Once their densely dotted suckers attached to a person, they would not be able to break free, no matter how much force they put in. A few octopuses attached their suckers onto a helpless pirate, and, in a blink of an eye, he was dragged far away, falling silent after an anguished cry.

Apart from the loathsome suckers, the tentacles of the Octopuses could curl around loose rocks and send them flyling, and could also be used as a whip, smacking ruthlessly into people. This might be fine for the ferocious warrior Novgorod, who had on a thick armor, but for the Spellcaster and archers who had only leather armor, it was a different matter. Every stroke of these whips drew blood. In an instant, the swarm of whipping tentacles had covered their bodies in wounds.

There was a howl.

After a few dozen tentacles latched onto him, the ferocious warrior Novgorod, who was leading the attack, roared and went into a Bloodthirsty Frenzy in an instant, breaking free of the tentacles on his body. He then leapt forward like a madman, ignoring the swarming tentacles and directly attacking the bodies of the Octopuses, killing more than a dozen of them as if he were cutting vegetables.

Inspired by Novgorod, the pirates ferociously counterattacked. With knives flying, they hacked off one tentacle after another, while the archers and Spellcaster directly attacked the Octopuses' bodies. Even though there were only a little over a dozen of them, their attack power was far above that of an ordinary army of a hundred as they fought to the death.

"My Lord, what should we do?"

After hacking off a tentacle with one swipe and seeing that Yang Ling and the Corpse Wizard King were on the side and had not attacked, the woman captain grew anxious. If she had only the pirates by her side, she might not even be able to make it out of this in one piece, let alone make it deep into the mine. At this point in time, she could only pin her hopes on this man from the mysterious Sea Tribe.

"Don't worry. With me around, these detestable things won't be a problem!" After focusing and observing for a while and gaining an understanding of the Octopus' techniques, Yang Ling met the Corpse Wizard King's eyes while talking, and signaled for him to stay and protect the woman captain. Thereafter, he expanded the ice-sealing Throne Armor, raised the Blood Elf Dagger, and dashed forward.

As they relied on spewing out water, the speed of the Octopuses was very high. But compared to Yang Ling, who had leveled up to intermediate level of Divine Wizard, they were nothing.

Wielding the Blood Elf Dagger, Yang Ling directly attacked the Octopus' bodies. Unlike from Novgorod, who hacked the Octopuses into two, he only stabbed each Octopus once in the back of the head before moving on to the next target.

He was smooth and precise, killing with one strike!

After he had battled the Dark Dragon King and gained some small understanding of the Laws of Energy, his attacks no longer had any unnecessary movements.

Yang Ling led the attack and killed huge numbers of the Octopuses as if chopping vegetables, instantly lightening the load on the others. The Corpse Wizard King was in charge of defense, standing right behind the woman captain. On the surface, it looked as if he was not doing anything else; but, if one looked carefully, one would realize that he was soundlessly chanting something, and that a dark external aura had enveloped the group.

Enveloped by this dark aura, the pirates felt their entire bodies fill with explosive strength. Their will to fight grew, and they became more courageous the more they battled. On the contrary, when the Octopuses touched the dark aura, they received a shock, and their speed was reduced. They even felt giddy, giving the pirates the opportunity to slaughter them.

In the Dimension of the Dead Souls, anyone who heard of the Corpse Wizard King's Mind Magic Field was afraid. The Mind Magic Field could greatly increase a troop's attack and defense, while greatly weakening the enemy's attack or even extinguishing their will to fight. It was precisely because of it that the Undead Army led by the Corpse Wizard King had been able to triumph continuously. Even the superior Undead Emperor was concerned about the Corpse Wizard King's Mind Magic Field and did not dare cross his path.

Even though the Corpse Wizard King had only recovered 70 percent of his power and could not use many of his most deadly attack techniques, it was more than enough to deal with this bunch of Octopuses, which did not have much Mental Energy!

In this way, Yang Ling was in charge of the attack and the Corpse Wizard King was in charge of defense. With the two of them working together, the pirates were no longer in danger. The swarming Octopuses fell one by one, most of them dying under Yang Ling's sharp Blood Elf Dagger.

Buzz…

After absorbing a large amount of the Octopuses' Blood Essence, the Blood Elf Dagger came alive with a light hum, emitting a murderous aura. If Yang Ling were to stop and look carefully, he would realize that numerous faint, mysterious drawings had appeared on the surface of the dagger.

Chirr…

Seeing that the Octopus army had suffered great losses, a black rock nearby charged towards Yang Ling, shrieking. Once everyone's attention was on it, they realized that it was no rock, but, clearly, the Giant Octopus King, swarming with tentacles. The densely spotted suckers on the tentacles gave people the shivers.

"My Lord, retreat. Quickly, retreat!"

"Wind Dagger! Quick, use the spell to attack the back of its head. Hurry!"

…

Looking at the savage Giant Octopus King, the pirates turned pale with fear, growing numb in the scalp. In shock, the blood-stained ferocious warrior Novgorod did not hesitate and immediately retreated back to formation. The female captain, pale with fright, shouted at Yang Ling, reminding him to quickly retreat.

The Giant Octopus King?

Looking at the ferocious Octopus King, Yang Ling was not frightened; on the contrary, he was happy. He was already prepared to wound and tame the Octopus King. After using the quickest method to dispatch numerous Octopuses, he had felt helpless seeing that the Octopus King was nowhere to be found. He was starting to regretfully think that there was no King amongst this bunch of Octopuses.

But, unexpectedly, after he had searched for it in the crowd, his efforts had not gone to waste!

"Hehe, good!" After laughing coldly, Yang Ling pounced. But he did not anticipate the incident that arose just as he was preparing to stab the Octopus King and tame it!

With a spewing sound, the Octopus King squirted out a big mass of black ink, blocking Yang Ling's vision. At the same time, the hundreds of tentacles moved as one, wrapping tightly around Yang Ling, who was caught unawares. The spurs in the suckers sprang out with lightning speed, ready to drain the prey's—Yang Ling's—Blood Essence!

Ding… The Giant Octopus King was successful, wrapping Yang Ling tightly in one strike. However, after a series of crisp sounds, the sharp spurs not only failed to pierce Yang Ling's body, but the Octopus King was jolted hard enough for it to feel numb. In shock, the Octopus King released Yang Ling from its tentacles and hastily backed away. It felt an unprecedented dangerous vibe coming from him.

"Hmph. Where can you run?"

After coldly snorting, Yang Ling used the Water Evasion Spell to move immediately onto the Giant Octopus King's body. Using the sharp Blood Elf Dagger, he ruthlessly stabbed into it.

Chirr… The Octopus King howled in agonizing pain, waving its hundreds of tentacles. It could not wait to strangle Yang Ling alive. Unfortunately, even though it was fast, Yang Ling was faster. He teleported to its left, and, after avoiding the swarming tentacles, he ruthlessly stabbed it again.

The Octopuses healed very quickly. Even if one tentacle was cut off, they could rapidly stop the bleeding, and could grow a new tentacle after resting for a few days.

If any ordinary Octopus had an amazing ability to heal quickly, the Giant Octopus King's healing abilities were a given. A missing tentacle on the Octopus King could regrow itself in half a day. Unfortunately, faced with the storm of attacks from Yang Ling, its speed of healing was too slow!

Using the Wind Evasion Spell, Yang Ling circled around the Giant Octopus King like the wind, leaving deep stab wounds all over. His speed was so fast that all anyone could see was a blur. All the eyes of the pirates and the woman captain saw was a dark shadow going in circles. They could not clearly see how Yang Ling was moving at all.

The monster could not win in a fight against Yang Ling, nor could it run away. Under Yang Ling's attack, the Giant Octopus King howled continuously in agony, its voice growing weaker and weaker. Finally, Yang Ling took the opportunity to tame it with his blood.

Even the Giant Octopus was not a match for Yang Ling, and the remaining small fry certainly weren't. After witnessing their King be gravely wounded and, in the end, eerily disappearing, the smaller Octopuses scattered in fright.

"Kill!"

"Charge, take revenge for Scott. Kill!"

…

After turning a near-defeat into a triumph, the pirates furiously attacked the Octopuses who could not escape in time, mercilessly avenging Scott's death. All of them, including the ferocious warrior Novgorod and the woman captain, failed to notice Yang Ling quietly moving the injured Octopuses into the Wizard Pagoda's Space while in pursuit of them.

The Octopuses' offensive ability was not much compared to the rest of the Magical Beasts Army, but they had super-strong regenerative abilities, tentacles that were hard to guard against, and a chameleon-like ability to camouflage themselves. Once tamed, an Octopus army like this might come in handy when they were out at sea.

Furthermore, the Wizard Pagoda's Space was getting bigger, with many wild and untamed land Magical Beasts like Horned Bee Beasts, Vampire Bats and Spiders. With a big group of Octopuses moving in, in addition to the previously tamed Giant Python, the Water Element army was starting to take shape. A preliminary Water Element Magical Beasts Base could be built in the Wizard Pagoda's Space, further expanding the scale of the Magical Beasts Base.

The greater the number and variety of Magical Beasts in the Magical Beasts Base, the more Yang Ling's potential would grow. If, one day, his Horned Bee Beasts, Evil Eyes or Self-destructing Bats armies suffered huge losses, he would be able to tame more beasts from within his own Wizard Pagoda's Space, quickly replenishing his forces.

Many ants could kill an elephant—how much more large numbers of Magical Beasts could do!

As long as there was a chance to increase his power, without expending too much Wizard Power or Mental Energy, Yang Ling would naturally not let it go easily.
