Chapter 292 The Lost Heart

  Different from the strong soldiers and horses of the two forces, Muyou's manpower is much smaller.

  Only him, Lin Xue, and Xiaoya.

   At most counting pandaren and mermaids, this is their full combat power!

  Of course, Mu You will not feel unprepared because of this, because soon, they will be able to get the help of a big local force—the Dragon Knight Pirates.

  With the addition of such a large pirate group, the gap in manpower will be quickly made up.

  Tuesday afternoon, Mu You closed the shop ahead of schedule, and as usual, went to find Lin Hai to help watch the 'door'.

  Besides Mu You and Lin Xue this time, Xiaoya and Ye Rumeng are also going to help in the front line.

   At five o'clock in the afternoon, several people were ready, and Mu You opened the door on time.

   "Xiao Hai, it's the same as last time, I'll leave the shop to you!"

   "Don't worry, master!" Lin Hai patted his chest and assured.

   Time is running out, and everyone has no nonsense. Mu You led everyone into the door, and then immediately acted according to the previously scheduled plan.

   A group of people entered into the backpack prepared by Mu You one after another, and Mu You went directly to the cave on the third floor of the submarine prison through the teleportation array.

  A feeling of cold and damp came in. There was a qualitative difference between a real person coming in and just reading the text in the game. The temperature in this cave was much colder than expected, but the light was quite bright. A large number of fluorescent plants grow everywhere in the cave, reflecting this narrow space beautifully.

   Mu You released Lin Xue and the others, and then went straight to the mushroom tree in the middle of the cave.

  The skeleton of the old elf leaning on the tree trunk was already weathered and decayed. Feeling the approach of footsteps, the soul in the bottle automatically emerged.

   "These are the helpers you brought?" The soul in the bottle looked at the three women who were looking at the environment curiously in the distance, and first noticed Xiaoya among them.

  Because Xiaoya was wearing the skin of a forest priest at this time, she looked exactly like a forest elf, which made the old elf feel quite friendly.

"Yes."

   Mu You nodded, and glanced at his skeleton: "We are going to go down to the fifth floor, what about you? Go down with us, or wait for our good news here?"

  The bones of this old elf have been weathered into a bad shape, and it looks like it will be broken into a pile of bone powder at any time. There must be few opportunities to move, and Mu You dare not toss him casually.

   "Please take me with you! No matter whether you succeed or not, I need to witness the result!" The elf hurriedly asked.

  Mu You didn't refuse either, and carefully transferred the old man's remains into the backpack and stored them in the prepared coffin.

  As for the bottle carrying the soul, Mu You left it outside.

   After packing up the bones of the old elf, Mu You led the three of them all the way down.

   After walking down the cave for several minutes, the passage in front of them became narrower and narrower, and finally the four of them were blocked in front of a stone wall.

  Here is the exit to the fifth floor.

   Mu You signaled the three behind him to get ready, took out his wand, and tapped it on the red bricks one by one.

  Up three, left two, bottom four, right one...

  After clicking on the door opening code designed by the old elf, the stone wall in front of him squirmed, and a small entrance was automatically opened.

   Mu You looked out through the small opening, and the outside was indeed connected to a space composed of flesh walls and mucus.

  But this time the real person is present, so Mu You has time to observe the fracture on the wall.

  He has always been curious, which part of the Octopus King is connected to this entrance? Is it directly connected to the other party's mouth?

  Until now, at the joint between the stone wall and the flesh wall, Mu You vaguely saw a layer of wriggling octopus skin, and that familiar shape made him react: it turned out to be a sucker!

   This position should be a certain octopus foot of the octopus, one of the countless suction cups on its outer skin, through the vent hole in the center of the suction cup, it can directly reach the body of the king octopus.

   In other words, each suction cup on King Octopus is equivalent to an entrance.

  At this moment, the octopus king is lurking and sleeping on the bottom of the sea, and at the same time, like hugging a pillow, he wraps his octopus tightly around the fourth floor of the submarine prison.

  If someone drills out from any part of the outer wall of the fourth floor, they will not be able to escape directly from the prison, but will enter the body of the king octopus through the octopus sucker wrapped in four layers, which is the fifth floor.

  After confirming the location, Mu You jumped into the entrance first.

  As soon as he landed, before he could stand firmly on the soft fleshy wall, a large amount of umbilical cord-like substance burst out from around him, wrapping around him like snakes.

  Mu You didn't panic at all, rubbed a few wind blades with his hands, and cut off all the umbilical cords approaching.

   Then, before the next wave of umbilical cords took shape, he quickly took out a bottle of potion from the ring, opened the bottle, and poured the light pink potion on the flesh wall under his feet.

The potion penetrated into the flesh wall in the blink of an eye, and at the same time, the growth rate of the surrounding umbilical cords also slowed down rapidly. Even if the umbilical cords had already grown, they did not come to wrap around Muyou anymore, but began to sway left and right on the spot, like Lost as if drunk.

   "It really works!"

   Mu You nodded in satisfaction. The bottle that was poured just now was naturally the legendary sleeping potion that had been prepared long ago.

   One bottle down, immediately quieted the Octopus King's body.

   Mu You turned around and waved to the three people at the entrance.

  Lin Xue and Xiaoya jumped out of the entrance one by one, landed on the fleshy wall, and turned around to hug the short-legged little girl.

  Xiaoya released the light technique in her hand, illuminating the dark surroundings.

   "Hey, how disgusting..."

  The little girl stood on the sticky meat film, raised one sole of her foot, looked at the layer of mucus stuck to the sole of the shoe, her little face turned pale, and she just felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.

  Lin Xue and Xiaoya's reactions were not as intense as the little girl's, but their faces were not very pretty.

  The passageway is full of pink pieces of meat, piled up to form layers of folds, and the folds are filled with mucus, people walking on it will slip if they are not careful.

  The wet and slippery flesh wall on the soles of the feet seems to be alive, breathing and wriggling slowly, especially when the surrounding area is filled with an unpleasant smell of carrion. This feeling of stepping on the internal organs to move forward is really terrible.

   "Be patient..."

   Mu You shook his head, the environment of this ghostly place can really make cleanliness and tryptophobia patients despair.

  Let’s not talk about them, even Mu You felt terrified when he saw the white fluffy tentacles swaying all over the place.

   While the potion was taking effect, the four of them hurriedly walked deeper along the flesh wall.

But just after walking for a while, Mu You suddenly saw a surge on the ground in front of him, and pieces of meat emerged from the wall of the flesh, quickly condensing into octopus guards half the height of a person. The bodies of these octopuses Half of them are connected to the flesh wall and cannot be separated, but their tentacles can be extended infinitely, and then use the extended tentacles to attack nearby targets.

   "The potion expired so quickly?" Lin Xue was a little surprised. After all, it was a legendary potion, so it didn't last long?

   "No, the King Octopus is still sleeping, this should be just some kind of passive defense mechanism in its body..."

   Mu You shook his head. As a potion maker, he is the most sensitive to the effects of the medicine, and he can feel that the potion is still taking effect.

  The little octopuses in front of me are not consciously created by the octopus king, but are similar to human white blood cells, which can automatically come out to kill the enemy when the body is abnormal, even if the main body's consciousness is not clear.

  These octopus guards are only eleventh or second level, so they are not difficult to deal with. Mu You and Lin Xue immediately took action to clean up the octopuses, while Xiaoya protected the little girl from behind.

  The arc sword is especially useful in this situation, and the octopuses are constantly wielding the lightning sword blade to be wiped out.

   On Lin Xue's side, the sickle continued to slash like an afterimage, and every time it could make an octopus crippled.

   However, Lin Xue's sickle attack here could not leave any mark of death.

  One is because the level of the Octopus King is too high. The specific level of Mu You is not clear, but this guy is likely to be another monster that has reached the 30th level cap.

  Although the Death Sickle itself has unlimited potential, the upper limit it can display in actual use depends on the level of the user. If the difference between the two sides exceeds ten levels, the effect of the sickle will be greatly weakened, and the conditions for leaving the mark of the **** of death in the attack will become harsh, and even after the **** of death is summoned, the souls that the **** of death can harvest will be greatly reduced.

  The second reason is size.

Because the octopus king is too large, the damage of killing a small octopus in its body is at best equivalent to killing one of the billions of cells on its body surface, and the damage to his body is about zero. Naturally, it is impossible to leave the mark of death.

  Mu You and Lin Xue slashed and killed octopuses like melons and vegetables, clearing the way forward.

   Along the road, what the four of them saw the most was the floating corpses trapped in the surrounding flesh walls, which were also densely packed and could be seen everywhere.

These floating corpses are actually still alive, but have fallen into a permanent deep sleep, relying only on the umbilical cord tubes attached to their bodies to maintain basic functions, each of them is weak and skinny, and the depth of the sinking is also different. Some are still floating on the surface of the flesh wall , some of them have indeed been deeply swallowed into the inside of the flesh wall, leaving only a little skin exposed.

   Walked forward for a while, probably left the octopus feet, and when they entered the range of the body, everyone found that there were no floating corpses around.

This is not because the floating corpses can't float here, but because from here, even if they enter the body range of the Octopus King, all the vital organs will follow. The floating corpses that come here will be swallowed deeply for safety. It can't be seen from the outside if it penetrates the inside of the meat wall.

  The four of them continued along the meat wall passage, and after going deeper for more than ten minutes, they finally found the heart of the Octopus King.

An octopus has three hearts. In addition to the most important body heart, there are two small gill hearts that play an auxiliary role. These three hearts are connected together. At this moment, the four of Mu You came to carry the three hearts of the King Octopus. s position.

   Mu You looked up, and saw a spherical heart with a diameter of tens of meters on the left and right sides of the fleshy ceiling in front of him, surrounded by many blood vessels, beating vigorously.

  But in the middle of the two hearts, the main heart, which was supposed to be bigger and more energetic, disappeared!

  The neat cross-sections of the surrounding arteries and vessels all indicate that the heart has been artificially removed.

But the miracle is that this kind of resection does not affect the function of the heart itself and the health of the Octopus King. After all the heart blood gushes out from those cuts, it will disappear abruptly, and then automatically continue to the heart of the Octopus King. Continue to flow, after being accelerated by the power of the heart, it will flow out from the end of the heart and automatically appear in the lower cardiovascular vessels to complete the blood circulation.

  So strictly speaking, the heart is actually still growing in its original position, but a method similar to space transfer is used to transfer the space where the heart is located to other places as a whole.

   "No wonder you want the blood of your heart..."

  Mu You instantly understood the significance of the mission of the Phantom Thief.

Just because the heart is only shifted by space, it is actually still functioning normally, and the blood of its heart veins will always keep flowing to the heart, so as long as the blood of the heart veins is taken, according to the direction of the blood dripping, there is a chance to find it. The heart of the Octopus King is located.

  The only thing that makes Mu You wonder is, what kind of person does a creature as powerful as the Octopus King have the ability to cut off its heart?

  Shaking his head, Mu You took out the vampire bottle, and used the floating spell to send it above the main heart, in front of the thickest blood vessel.

  The vampire bottle automatically adsorbed on the blood vessel wall, and began to draw blood from it little by little.

   This process was obviously very long, and it took a long time for a layer of blood mist to condense. Mu You was not in a hurry, and it happened that they also had other things to be busy.

   "Look for them all, those elves should be buried nearby..."

  Mu You immediately directed the three of them to start working.

On Xiaoya's side, all the summoned beasts were summoned. Mu You and Lin Xue also recruited a few summoned beasts to help each other. A group of summoned creatures were used by Mu You as police dogs, sniffing around in the nearby space, looking for Target.

   It turns out that a group of summoned beasts is not as good as Xiaoya alone.

   "Boss, I feel it, there should be someone here!"

  Xiaoya suddenly raised her hand to signal everyone.

  Xiaoya's elf skin has a slight sensitivity to people of the same clan, which is why Mu You brought her here today.

  Mu You walked to the position pointed by Xiaoya, and cut down a little bit with the electric arc sword.

   After cutting to a depth of nearly two meters, sure enough, a rudimentary figure was faintly revealed under the broken flesh layer.

   Mu You hurriedly enlarged the crack, and then joined forces with Xiaoya to pull out the person who was buried deep in the flesh wall.

  The first person to be found was an elf woman. Her clothes were already corroded and tattered, and her whole body was so sallow and emaciated that only skin and bones remained.

   "It's Sasha! She's alive!"

  The soul of the old elf in the bottle suddenly became agitated and hurriedly urged Mu You to save people.

   "You can recognize this!"

  Mu You admired it very much. This elf was so malnourished that his face changed completely, so he could call out his name in one breath, which shows how familiar they were.

   Mu You stretched out his hand and tore off all the umbilical cords on the elf's body, then called Ye Rumeng to try to wake him up.

  Of course the little girl understood why Mu You brought her here today. At this moment, she walked obediently, took a deep breath, put her hands on the female elf's forehead, and silently said the name 'Sasha' in her heart.

   There was no reaction for the first few seconds, but after a few seconds, the elf's original expression suddenly twisted, as if he was bearing some kind of great pain.

   At the same time, the entire flesh-walled space also trembled, a familiar whale whistling sounded from a distant place, and above the ground, countless umbilical cords grew rapidly from the ground.

   "The Octopus King is about to wake up?"

  Mu You didn't expect that the previous steps were all right, but when he finally woke up, the Octopus King had such a big reaction.

  He hurriedly took out several bottles of pink potion, pushed them away one by one, and poured them down.

   After pouring two bottles of legends and one epic potion in a row, the restlessness in the Octopus King finally settled down again.
