Chapter 26: The Stone-Taloned Octopus!

Zhang Yang looked at Zhang Xue’er and the others, who were so happy, and squatted on the shore to watch.

He somewhat hated water.

It was not that he was afraid of water. He simply did not want to go into the water.

When a true high-level fire-type cultivator entered the water, the temperature that erupted from their body was enough to vaporize the entire lake.

“Yawn…”

Zhang Yang yawned on the shore. The only bad thing about becoming a high-level cultivator was that he always needed a lot of sleep.

However, after flying for a whole day and night, it was normal for him to be a little sleepy.

Seeing Zhang Xue’er playing with Hu Tao in the water, he enjoyed watching them.

Therefore, Zhang Yang simply laid on the shore.

As his eyelids became heavier and heavier, Zhang Yang fell asleep.

After an unknown period of time…

“Where is this?”

When Zhang Yang opened his eyes, he realized that he was actually deep within a palace.

The entire palace was made of sand, but it was even more dazzling than gold.

It exuded nobility and mystery everywhere, as if it was an ancient ruin that had been asleep for a long time.

“Young man, this is all the treasure of the Yellow Wind Desert! Come! Find it! Let it become the most dazzling part of your life’s treasure!”

The ancient mysterious voice echoed in the Desert Palace, constantly tempting Zhang Yang.

Just when Zhang Yang was about to walk into the palace to take a look…

“Ah! Brother!” Zhang Xue’er’s scream suddenly rang out in Zhang Yang’s ear.

At this moment, the surrounding scene seemed to be regressing, and the Desert Palace turned into dust and disappeared.

Suddenly, Zhang Yang opened his vertical pupils and realized that everything just now was a dream.

Zhang Xue’er, who was swimming in the water, was grabbed by two tentacles that looked like octopuses and was dragged into the lake.

“Roar!”

At this moment, Zhang Yang woke up!

The aura on Zhang Yang’s body expanded, and the flames of the blazing sun that burst out from his body swept toward the tentacles.

“Yaoyang!”

The circle formed by the flames slashed across the tentacles and ignited a fierce flame.

The huge tentacle was also cut down by the circle of flames at that moment, and Zhang Xue’er was able to escape.

Zhang Xue’er quickly returned to Zhang Yang’s side and said anxiously, “Brother, Hu Tao was dragged down.”

“What exactly happened?”

Zhang Yang was not in a hurry to save Hu Tao. With her Lucky Lamb talent, Hu Tao should not die at the hands of such a magical beast.

“Just now, Hu Tao and I were splashing water on each other when all of a sudden, a tentacle grabbed me.

“I quickly dived into the lake and grabbed that tentacle. Then, I was just about to take Hu Tao up into the sky.

“In the end, I was grabbed by two tentacles midair. Hu Tao fell from my arms and was pulled down by the tentacles.

“Oh right, brother, when I dived down, I saw a pair of big glowing eyes.”

Zhang Xue’er quickly explained everything that had happened.

“I understand.”

Zhang Yang’s eyes had a hint of vigilance.

His vigilance was extremely high. Even when he was sleeping, no movement could escape his ears.

Unless it was a deep sleep to prepare to improve his strength, otherwise, it would definitely wake him up.

Zhang Yang himself was only taking a nap. How could he not hear those movements?

Could it be related to the mysterious palace just now?

Just as Zhang Yang was a little confused, Zhang Xue’er said anxiously, “Brother, if you don’t go down and save Hu Tao, our only attendant might die.”

“Don’t worry, she won’t die so easily.”

Zhang Yang came back to his senses and comforted Zhang Xue’er. Then, he flew to the center of the lake and watched the movements below.

At this time, the lake fell into silence again, as if nothing had happened before.

Zhang Yang’s sharp eyes stared at the surface of the lake without blinking. He wanted to see the situation inside through the surface.

Bang!

Suddenly, three large tentacles drilled out from the lake and bound Zhang Yang’s legs and one of his hands respectively.

Then, the tentacles began to pull Zhang Yang into the deep, invisible lake with all their might.

“You dare to attack my idea! I want to see what you are!”

Zhang Yang did not choose to resist the tentacle. Instead, he took the initiative to let the tentacle pull him into the lake.

“Xue’er, you stay up there and don’t move!”

These were the words that Zhang Yang left for Zhang Xue’er after entering the lake. Then, Zhang Yang disappeared in front of Zhang Xue’er.

Zhang Xue’er was very anxious, but her brother’s instructions were advising her not to take action.

“Damn it!” Zhang Xue’er paced around the shore anxiously.

She really wanted to go down and help her brother, but she was afraid that she would cause trouble for him.

She knew Zhang Yang’s strength, and she knew that he was just being dragged down on purpose.

However, her brother was a fire element cultivator, and underwater battles were not his battlefield. Instead, they would restrict his strength.

“Senior, what should we do?”

“Don’t worry, your brother is fine.”

Under the lake, as soon as Zhang Yang entered the water, the flames on his body shrank into his body.

This was the instinct of a fire-type cultivator. The aura on his body in the water would automatically return to his body to ensure the fire of life continues to burn inside his body.

In the pitch-black water, Zhang Yang was like a weak firefly. He could barely see a ray of red light.

However, the pair of big light bulbs in front of Zhang Yang was different. They were like searchlights in the deep sea, illuminating everything around him.

In order to find out who the owner of the tentacles was, Zhang Yang opened the system diagram.

[Name: Chuan]

[Creature: Stone-talon Youth ]

[Attack: 410]

[Defense: 301]

[Item: Small Treasure Pile ]

[Talent: Reborn Tentacles ]

[Abilities: Melee combat, tentacle pulling, camouflage ]

[Remarks: A despicable person who only knows how to sneak an attack with brute force]

“Stone-talon?!”

Zhang Yang widened his eyes. Why would there be a stone-talon in this lake. This was not Japan. Was this a game?

After using the system to find out who the enemy was, Celine began to search through the memories in her mind.

Spanning the distance between the rocks was a monster that had an average body length of nearly a hundred meters. The main place where it appeared was in the deep sea that was a thousand meters deep.

What it liked the most was to use its camouflage characteristics to hide and then use one move to suppress the enemy to launch a sneak attack.

Its strength was considered to be one of the highest standard among magical beasts. It was a pity that it only knew how to use brute force and did not know any other offensive methods.

Their entire body was similar to a giant octopus. The color of their body was not fixed. It depended on the color of the surrounding environment.

Every adult stone-talon’s tentacles were dozens of meters long, and there were eight tentacles on their bodies.

Moreover, if they broke with time, they could quickly grow back within a minute.

To kill this kind of stone-talon, one had to explode his head. Otherwise, his healing ability would be extremely fast.

The template was a berserker’s template, but he had to be an assassin.

“So, it’s the stone-talon! Tell me! How did you appear in such a small lake?”

Zhang Yang used fire-bending power to pounce, and the tentacles that bound his body were instantly torn apart.
