Darius had never seen such a thing. To be precise, he had never known that scorpion tails could grow on octopus tentacles.

Around him, creatures like octopus tentacles were advancing. Their bodies seemed to be under the cracks. It was their movements that created these underwater cracks.

The scorpion's stingers grow on the tops of these tentacles, swaying as if humans are shaking their heads.

"Is that all these things?"

Darius threw his ax, which seemed to be unhindered in the water, and flew back into his hand in a blink of an eye.

And the tentacles with scorpion stings around him had neat cuts.

"Fragile, vulnerable and disappointing."

Darius picked up a broken tentacle and looked at the tip of the tentacle with interest, the scorpion's stinger, so... could it be poisonous?

Just as he was thinking about it, the stinger suddenly opened like a mouth, and an even smaller tentacle emerged from it. The tip of the stinger was sharp and as small as a bee stinger, and it stabbed towards Darius's eyes.

laugh--

Blood drips... The blood of extraordinary beings is already different from the blood of mortals. Mortal blood will disperse and be neutralized in water, but the blood of extraordinary beings will not be like this.

In water, the nature of the transcendent's blood is closer to a solid than a liquid, so it drips.

"With such a dirty trick, isn't the Blood Moon Sect worried about destroying its own priests?"

Darius flicked his right hand and pulled it out again. He pulled out the tiny poisonous stinger that he had grasped with his right hand. He then flicked it with two fingers and the stinger was broken.

"Darius! Where are you?"

Annie's voice came from far away.

"... Let's deal with these tentacles first."

Darius did not respond to Anne's words, but silently took the black cutter, cut off all the surrounding tentacles, and cut the stingers of the scorpions in half.

Although the layer of poisonous stings on the outside has little power, the poisonous stings hidden inside can even scratch his tough body. If it is Annie... Annie is a mage, and it seems that there will be no residue left behind.

However, these tentacles were cut off by him. If Annie came over and thought these things were no longer dangerous, she would pick them up and play with them, and then... the results can be imagined.

Anne did not have the reflexes that Darius had honed on the battlefield and countless assassinations. If Anne picked up these severed tentacles, she would be blinded at least one eye, and her brain might even be punctured.

.

It will be troublesome then. Even on the magic side, brain damage is not an easy problem to treat, and it may also affect the path of advancement for extraordinary people.

He chopped it into pieces one by one. After cutting it, he checked it several times to prevent Annie from discovering something that had slipped through the net when she came over.

"D-Le-E-S! Why are you ignoring me!"

Anne shouted out Darius's name word for word. Taking advantage of her age, she was never as afraid of Darius as Valliard was. No one in Salva dared to bully her.

"Here you are, you were busy fighting just now. You know you can't be distracted while fighting."

Darius pointed to the broken corpses on the ground and said that he had experienced a hard battle.

"These fragments are the enemy?"

Anne squatted down suspiciously and picked up a fragment. Somehow, no blood flowed out after these creatures were chopped into pieces. Anne looked at the fragments and had no reaction.

With the space suit between us, even if there is the smell of blood, we can't smell it, let alone there is no smell of blood.

"Of course it wasn't broken into pieces when it was alive."

Darius put away the black cutter, took out the moon-moving sword again, and inserted it into the cracks in the ground. After the tentacles move, they will leave behind slime, which will absorb the surrounding sediment, so that the original traces will be covered up.

But when Darius slashed through it with the Yanyue knife, the mucus was cleared away. Not to mention that the time was still short, even if it took a long time, these gaps would not close naturally.

Anne would have probably found Darius's location by following the traces left by Darius with the Crescent Moon Knife.

"Where to go next?"

Anne didn't pursue it any further, and Darius's answer was considered reasonable. The battlefield was so brutal, so he might be a strong enemy.

But if Balliard were here, Darius' poor cover-up would be obvious at a glance.

Busy fighting? Can't be distracted? If the enemy is that powerful, how can you still think about smashing them into pieces?

"Just move forward. These may not be all of them. You can also give it a try and clear them all, then you can go find the door."

Darius is now relieved to let Annie deal with these tentacles.

The defense of these tentacles is very weak, and the attack method is single. The most threatening hidden stinger has a very short range. If Darius had not picked up the broken tentacle, he would not have encountered such a sneak attack.

As long as Annie uses her own flames to burn these things clean, she will basically not be in danger.

As for whether Annie's flame can burn underwater, this should not be a big problem for extraordinary people.

On the science side, there is a flame that burns more vigorously in the water. It is said that its name is - "magnesium".

"OK."

Annie followed closely behind Darius, holding Tibbs in her arms who had already been put into a space suit by her.

After about ten minutes, Darius finally found the nest, or settlement, of these tentacles.

If you look around, there are at least hundreds of these tentacles.

"Annie, can you solve it?"

Darius was just worried that Annie would not be able to adapt to underwater combat and would not be able to exert her full strength. But to deal with such fragile tentacles, does a transcendent need to use all his strength?

According to Darius's estimation, Demacia's Dauntless Vanguard has

Any soldier can easily cut off such a tentacle. Of course, the soldiers of the Empire's Trifari Legion can also do it.

"Of course!"

Anne raised her right hand, and dazzling light emanated from her hand. From a distance, Darius could feel the heat, and the lake water was heating up.

The era that Anne lived in had entered the interstellar world. Science and magic had developed to a certain extent and even began to complement each other.

Originally, it was difficult for fire magicians to exert their powerful strength underwater, but with the scientific equipment equipped for fire magicians, fire magicians can exert their ninth level of strength even under water.

After more than ten seconds, the white light dissipated, and the group of tentacles turned into dust.

"pretty!"

Darius felt the temperature in the water. Even from a distance, the water temperature was as high as over seventy degrees. If Annie's teammates were not extraordinary, they would probably be scalded.

"Yeah - but are there any enemies left?"

Annie jumped up and down cheering for her victory. It was a great victory and she destroyed so many enemies at once. She was awesome.

"I'm not sure, let me give it a try."

Darius once again took out the black cutter and struck hard at the bottom of the water. It was because he struck the bottom of the water that he attracted those tentacles.

There was obviously no sound, but an enemy that had not been encountered before appeared.

In other words, those tentacles have a special ability to sense this kind of gap.

If these tentacles are computers that use the Internet, these gaps may be network cables. If the network cable is cut off or moved, it will naturally cause their reaction.

The gap opened by Darius was quickly closed. Darius looked around, but no tall figures appeared.

"It seems that the problem has been solved. Can Tibbs determine our current location? Tell me which direction we are heading in."

If Darius was heading in the direction of the second rest area, then he would have encountered the gate long ago.

"We should head toward four o'clock."

Tibbers made his own powerful and domineering mechanical voice.

"no problem."

…

"There are still three kilometers away, Yasuo, can you sense the location of the blood moon entrance?"

Valyard looked at the distance between him and Darius on the ID card and asked Yasuo a question.

Since there was no map guidance, Balliard relied on the increase or decrease in distance to determine the direction when searching for Darius's location.

At this moment, there is an invisible barrier above Baliard's head, which should be the boundary of the blood moon.

"Is it necessary to go to such trouble? Get out of the way and watch me cut this thing open."

Of course, it is impossible for Yasuo to know where the entrance to the blood moon is. He has not merged with the demon and cannot sense the blood moon at all, let alone find the entrance to the blood moon.

However, it’s just a barrier, wouldn’t it be nice to just break in?

"wait--"

Balliard also wanted to persuade Yasuo to give up this stupid idea, because the blood moon is not just a simple moon, it also represents the entrance to hell, and this barrier may be the barrier between hell and hell.

boundary.

However, Yasuo had already used his demon-turned-sword to cut a crack in the barrier.

"Look, how simple it is..."

Yasuo sheathed his sword—halfway through, the gap closed.

"Look, things are not that simple. This is probably Kieran's power. In other words, this barrier is not the barrier between hell and hell. We are both lucky. Otherwise - what else do you want to do?"
