Chapter 288 Passing by with the Octopus King
For two tasks, Mu You will definitely choose the old elf. Because if you choose the latter, you have to send the bones back to the elves to get the reward, so you will definitely not get the elves. It is impossible for the elves to let him take away the bones of an elder, but they will let him It is not clear about the ancient tree of knowledge.
While Mu You was meditating, he suddenly heard a deep and distant sound above his head, like a whale howling from the depths of the sea.
Mu You didn't respond, but he noticed that the face of the female elf on the opposite side changed suddenly when she heard the voice.
"What's wrong?"
"Not good, King Octopus seems to be going into deep sleep early!"
"Deep sleep period?" Mu You was puzzled.
"The sleep of the Octopus King is divided into two types: light sleep and deep sleep. During the light sleep period, the consciousness of the Octopus King has not yet fully entered the dream, and the main body will not appear here. I can only regain consciousness during the light sleep period. During the deep sleep period , the Octopus King will descend and forcibly take over everyone's consciousness."
After finishing speaking, the elf frowned suspiciously again: "In the past, I usually go to deep sleep from afternoon to evening. How could it be so early today?"
Mu You's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that his previous disconnection and online operations in the Octopus King's body made the sleeping Octopus King aware of the abnormality? Is this guy so sensitive?
"If you can leave at any time, then leave immediately, otherwise, when the octopus king comes, then..."
"So what?"
The elf suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, and Mu You looked up, only to find that the elf's pupils had disappeared, and her eyes had turned pure white. In addition, that weird smile appeared on her expression again.
"Intruder, confirm...arrest!"
After the elf uttered these words clearly, she suddenly rushed towards Muyou.
Of course Mu You chose to fight this time, because the current elves must have no self-awareness.
It's just that the power of this female elf is much greater than he imagined. Under the collision of the two, it was actually Mu You who was knocked out.
"Boom!"
Mu You was directly knocked into the air, broke through the door, and fell on the corridor outside the room.
When I looked up, besides the elves in front of me, figures began to appear one after another in the corridors on both sides. There were elves, humans, and octopuses, all staring at their white eyes, holding the most suitable tools as weapons in their hands. , said the same thing in his mouth: trespasser, arrest!
"Half an hour..."
Mu You has a headache. The time agreed between him and Lin Xue is still a little too long. If the time flow rate of the two worlds is equal, it will take a long time for half an hour to arrive. Before that, he was the target of the creatures here...
Just as he was thinking, Mu You suddenly felt that the secret energy in the depths of his mind had increased by one, and the two crystals became three, and the more one was Lin Xue's soul system crystal.
Mu You's heart suddenly became clear.
It seems that after the battle here, there should be some signs on his body on the other side of the earth. Lin Xue was very smart. Without knowing what was going on on his side, he deliberately used the method of transferring energy through the death contract to confirm whether he needed to stop sleeping in advance.
If Mu You accepts Lin Xue's crystallized energy, it means that he is indeed in a battle and needs to stop early. If he doesn't accept it, it means that he can continue to stay.
At this time, the surrounding figures had already rushed towards him quickly, Mu You received the energy decisively, got up and ran away.
After throwing off the female elf and running away for a while, Mu You found that the people chasing and killing around him became more and more dense. It seemed that no matter how he ran, these people could find his position at any time.
Moreover, he obviously went in the direction of the exit, but he never saw the exit.
Mu You understands the mechanism here a little bit. It seems that the path in the castle is not static. It is impossible for him to escape normally.
"Intruder, arrest!"
At this time, a large number of octopus soldiers had already chased him, attacking him one by one with knives and forks.
Mu You waved his hand, and invisible wind blades flew out. The scene suddenly became bloody, and countless broken octopus feet flew up.
Mu You found that killing an octopus here does not add experience or longevity, and the dead octopus will recover quickly, but the recovered octopus will be smaller than the original and weaker many.
This way of killing is definitely not enough. Seeing more and more pursuers around, Mu You directly released the dark world, and then switched to the vampire skin.
The entire castle suddenly became pitch black, and Mu You's attributes greatly increased under the boost of the Night King, and he easily put down a piece, successfully broke through the crowd, and then used the terrain change to directly create a passage on the wall , finally escaped from the castle.
Of course, this is not the end, because there are many enemies waiting for him outside, octopus soldiers and all kinds of humanoid creatures immediately surrounded Mu You.
Relying on the time in the Dark Realm, Mu You ran unhindered in the crowd, and the wind blades and fireballs shot out of his hands continuously, forcibly tearing a hole in the crowd.
A few seconds later, the scene changed to a situation where Mu You was running alone, followed by a long line of pursuers.
But at this moment, the ground suddenly rumbled and shook, and a huge octopus foot suddenly broke through the ground, as long as a tower hundreds of meters high.
"King Octopus?"
Mu You's eyelids twitched.
With such a big octopus foot, he can only think of the main body of the octopus king.
And this is only a small part of an octopus' foot protruding from the ground, so how huge should the king octopus be?
Before I had time to think about it, this octopus foot seemed to have vision. After it appeared, it swung an arc in the air, and the air flow just blown away countless octopus soldiers around, and many of them exploded into blood directly in the strong wind. group.
However, the Octopus King didn't care about the life and death of these little soldiers at all. He swung his tentacles and lashed towards the ground. The direction of the slap was exactly the direction in which Mu You fled.
This octopus foot is so big, but it moves quite flexibly. Mu You hurriedly changed direction, but the octopus foot followed him like a shadow, and got closer and closer.
Along the road, countless octopus chasers were crushed to death. The Octopus King didn't care, and the only target was Mu You, the intruder.
After a few seconds, the octopus foot finally caught up with Mu You, its pointed tip twitched, and slammed down heavily on Mu You.
At this time, Mu You had no room to hide, and was hit by a huge tentacle.
But just when it was about to hit, dense electric sparks crackled, and an electric arc sword more than ten meters long suddenly appeared, forcibly cutting a gap from the octopus' feet that blocked the sky and the sun.
Mu You jumped out of the gap and continued to escape.
Because of the interference of the octopus feet, there were fewer pursuers around.
At this time, the ground in the space was shaken more intensely.
Looking back, Mu You saw that the castle in the distance had risen from the ground. To be more precise, the castle was supported by the head of a huge octopus like a mountain.
Immediately following it was the body of an octopus with a length of nearly a kilometer, and the seven octopus legs connected below.
In just a few seconds, an octopus as large as a mountain appeared in this space completely, and the originally vast garden space suddenly became a little crowded.
This is the first time Mu You has seen the main body of the octopus king. The skin of the octopus is blue, and the outer skin is covered with circles of strange lines. The octopus wriggles and supports its huge body lightly. A blue eye emerges from the The Octopus King opened his head and stared at Mu You below, condescending, as if a **** was watching an ant.
At this moment, Mu You felt his body stagnate, unable to move, and at the same time, an extremely strange wild aura surged into his heart.
But the aura emanating from the huge monster in front of him made Mu You feel that apart from fear, there was also a sense of strangeness, as if this thing was not a creature born from the two planes he was familiar with at all.
This feeling disappeared in a flash, and Mu You didn't have time to experience it carefully.
The next moment, his body suddenly twisted and disappeared in place.
Mu You only felt that the light turned, and he appeared on a thick and dark monster's flesh wall. There were a large number of umbilical cord-like tubes attached to his body. He was bound and lying on the flesh wall, and half of his body was sunk in the mucous membrane. .
And this picture is also fleeting.
In the next moment, Mu You felt his consciousness sink, and he was pulled into a dark and deep seabed. He was far away, his body was heavy, and he couldn't use his strength. He could only passively float in the sea water.
Until a certain moment, he suddenly heard a familiar shout.
"Mu You..."
"Mu You..."
…
is Ye Rumeng's voice.
It was only then that Mu You felt that his body began to float up gradually, faster and faster.
After dozens of seconds, with a burst of relaxation all over his body, Mu You finally surfaced.
At this time, in the lock cylinder space, he who was lying on the grass also opened his eyes at the same time.
"Mu You..."
"Mu You, you finally woke up!"
The little girl's surprised voice first rang in his ears, and when he turned around, Ye Rumeng and Lin Xue were watching him with concern.
"Finally woke up? Did I sleep for a long time?" Mu You looked at the two of them strangely.
"It's been an hour since I turned off the phone..." Lin Xue said.
"I'm sorry Mu You, I thought I could wake you up immediately, but the distance is too far, I can't find you..." Ye Rumeng said apologetically.
"The distance is too far... That is to say, if the sleeping place and the subject of the dream are very close, you can wake up the other party immediately, right?" Mu You asked.
"Huh?" The little girl asked back in single words, with a blank expression on her face.
"never mind…"
Mu You shook his head. This question is too complicated, and the little girl probably doesn't even know it. But since the little girl has the ability to forcibly wake up others, next week she can take her to the Octopus King and ask her to help wake up those elves. Otherwise, even if Muyou saves them, it will only be equivalent to saving a group of vegetative people.
As for how to ensure that the Octopus King will not be disturbed...
Since this big guy is so sensitive, he can only use some medicine to keep him in a deep sleep.
And for this kind of giant monster, the ordinary sleeping potion may not be useful, and a more advanced one is needed, such as... a legendary potion!
Mu You didn't dare to think about this thing before, but now, the synthesis furnace has been repaired, and the legendary potion has become easy to get, especially the Dreamless Sleep Potion is still a first-order potion, Mu You can now stably refine rare-level potions, refining medicine There is no shortage of materials at hand, and there is no big problem in rushing to make a batch of legendary sleeping potions within a few days.
When he came back to his senses, Mu You took back the mobile phone from Lin Xue, turned it on and went online in a hurry, and transferred the character out of the big octopus first.
【You appear in a sticky wall of flesh. 】
【Umbilical cords grow out of the fleshy wall under your feet, winding towards you...】
【You used the Phantom Thief Mask, you switched positions with the nearest dead ghost clone. 】
【You have returned to the cave on the fourth floor...】
Go back successfully, which means that the octopus king only felt something different in his body, but he didn't know the exact location, otherwise he would have already done something to his game character.
After returning to the cave, Mu You immediately went to find the remnant soul of the old elf.
【You go back to the third floor along the cave passage, and come to the mushroom tree in the middle of the cave. 】
【In the glass bottle, the old soul has been waiting for a long time. Seeing you coming back from the fifth floor, I can't wait to ask you what you saw. 】
【your choice…】
【Tell the truth】、【White lies】
The two options represent the branch task of the previous alternative.
"Tell me the truth."
【You chose to tell the truth. 】
【You tell Remnant Soul that there are still many of his clansmen alive in the fifth floor. 】
【Remnant Soul was very pleasantly surprised after listening, but then he was stunned by your follow-up explanation. 】
【Harrington did not expect that the environment on the fifth floor has become so harsh, and it seems that it will become even more difficult to rescue his people. 】
【Harrington asks you carefully, is there any ability to save his people? your choice…】
【You said that you can rescue, but because you also need to bear a lot of risks in the rescue, you hope that the conditions for the other party to be rewarded can be changed. 】
【Harrington doesn't mind giving you more rewards, but he only has a token that is valuable. Ask what else you need. If the rescue is successful, he can try to apply to the elves. 】
The input box popped up, Mu You thought for a while, and decided to tell the other party about the ancient tree of knowledge directly. After all, the integration with the ancient tree must be voluntary by the other party, and there is no point in hiding it.
【You tell the other party that you have an ancient tree of knowledge that has lost its vitality, and you need an elf to bring it back to life...】
【Harrington understood what you meant and fell silent. 】
【The ancient tree of knowledge is a fetish of the elves, and it will not be easily spread. Harrington understands that the ancient tree in your hand must not have been obtained through normal means. But in the face of the lives of more than 60 clansmen, he is not qualified to negotiate terms. 】
【Harrington will finally agree to your condition, but he also has the only request: I hope you can take care of the ancient tree of knowledge as a real life, not a tool for making money. 】
Sure enough, after the showdown, the old elf did not refuse.
Mu You naturally agreed to the old elf's request, and a new prompt popped up immediately.
【The optional quest 'Meli's request' disappeared. 】
【Hidden quest ‘Harrington Xiu’s Last Wish’ quest reward changes. 】
【After rescuing all the trapped people, you will get 6700 forest elf reputation points, elder token*1, and at the same time Harrington Xiu will become an elf voluntarily and become one of your followers. 】
