Chapter 303 One Power Drops Ten Meetings

   The neighing of octopuses came from behind, comparable to a pig slaughtering scene.

  Everyone looked back one after another, and the scene that caught their eyes was even more tragic: the skin of the octopuses turned red one by one, their bodies were hot and smoking, and they even blew themselves up, corroding people with the acid they released.

  Corrosive acid was sprayed all over the sky, and many people around were sprayed all over on the spot. They died mutilated in severe pain, and half of their serious faces were corroded.

  The screams were endless, and the players defending the rear began to die in large numbers.

   "Are these octopuses crazy?!"

  Jack was dumbfounded. He had been a pirate for so many years, and he had never seen a creature like an octopus be so violent!

   "Get out of the way!" Someone shouted hastily.

   Actually, it goes without saying that under the threat of their lives, all the players in the rear fled the scene immediately.

  Although there is a chance of resurrection, such a huge group of octopuses can't die once and die. They will die in place almost immediately after resurrection. Who would dare to stay where they are?

  Fortunately, these octopuses don't seem to be very interested in the escaped people, and the reason why they become violent is just to fight a way.

  After the blockers got out of the way, the octopuses immediately rushed to the grass temple in the distance in groups.

   "Sure enough, he went after that guy!"

   The demon looked at the behavior of the octopuses after they went berserk, making this even more certain.

   "I don't know what this person did to the octopuses, the hatred is so steady..."

   "This person...seems to be speeding up towards the temple..."

   "What the **** is he trying to do? What's in that temple?"

   "It seems to be related to octopuses..."

   "Still running away? Does he want to die?"

  …

  After the hatred of the octopuses has shifted, everyone can finally stand on the sidelines and comment on the current situation.

  Looking at the scene where the octopus and the ghost captain are scrambling for the temple in the distance, everyone is actually a little strange. What is it that is worth his desperate fight for?

  However, listening to the discussions around him, the emperor's inner anxiety became more and more intense.

  Combining the behavior patterns of the octopuses at the beginning and the current situation, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind, and he realized a certain possibility, and his face suddenly changed.

   "Not good, stop him!"

  While speaking, the Son of Heaven had already released a long-range spell first, and a large amount of lightning and shadow energy shot out, heading straight for the ghost captain, trying to prevent him from approaching the grass temple.

   However, it was obviously too late.

  The octopus swarm rushing past their line of defense formed a natural barrier at this time, completely blocking the space between everyone and the ghost captain, and magic couldn't lock the target at all.

  The next second, countless octopuses covered the grass temple, and the whole temple collapsed in an instant, kicking up a cloud of dust on the spot.

  The octopuses quickly built a hill tens of meters high on the collapsed haystack, densely packed, completely covering the space around the grass temple.

   "This guy is finished!"

  Everyone looked at this scene with a little sigh.

   Unexpectedly, the majestic ghost captain died at the hands of a group of octopuses in this way.

   "Hehe, no matter what is in there, is it worth it to kill yourself in order to grab a treasure?" Jack sneered.

   Once this person died, it was considered a good thing for them, since at least one competitor was reduced.

   "I'm afraid..." At this time, the voice of the emperor sounded from the side.

  Jack turned his head to look, but found that the emperor did not show any joy, but his face was full of bitterness.

   "Afraid of what?" Jack asked subconsciously.

  The Son of Heaven did not answer, and he no longer needs to answer.

   Suddenly there was a rumbling movement from Octopus Mountain in the distance.

  The mountain suddenly cracked from the top, and countless octopuses separated to the two sides, quickly revealing the buried scene below.

  A familiar figure stood firmly at the original location of the Caomiao.

   is Captain Ghost! Not only was he alive, but he was unscathed.

   In addition, he held a red organ in his hand, which was wrapped in a transparent substance like ice cubes. The organs inside seemed to be alive and kept beating.

   But what was even weirder were the octopuses around them. The ruthless and violent octopuses just now became extremely quiet at this moment. They lay down and shivered one by one, and even their heads were stuck to the ground, making a gesture of bowing their heads.

  The crowd around were stunned.

What's happening here?

  In that ruined temple, what happened?

  What did Captain Ghost do to make such a big difference in these octopuses?

  Everyone couldn't turn their minds around for a while.

   While everyone was still dazed, Mu You in the distance suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at the people here.

   Accompanied by his movement, all the octopuses on the ground suddenly raised their heads and turned to the crowd, and then squirmed their claws and moved towards this side, and the speed became faster and faster.

  In the blink of an eye, the octopuses who were quiet just now turned into the raging octopus waves before, sweeping towards everyone.

   "Nimma, what's going on?"

  Jack and the others were stunned, but the movements on their feet were not slow, and they all turned around and ran away immediately.

  The situation suddenly changed to a situation where everyone was running away in front, and countless octopuses were chasing after them.

  The only difference is that the target of the octopuses is no longer Muyou, but all humans except him.

   Fortunately, this group of octopuses did not keep chasing and killing them like before. After driving them a few hundred meters away, they stopped chasing and retreated one after another.

  Everyone had a chance to breathe.

   "Obviously, the other party has gained control of these octopuses..." Tianzi explained.

   "How is this possible?" Jack looked at it in disbelief. Although these octopuses are not high-level, they number in the tens of thousands. How much energy is needed to control so many octopuses at the same time?

   "It has nothing to do with energy, probably because of the heart in the opponent's hand..."

   "Heart?"

   "Yes, that's what he got when he rushed into the grass temple desperately just now."

  The Son of Heaven smiled wryly and said: "I'm not sure what the heart is, but it obviously has some relationship with these octopuses. Whoever gets the heart can gain the power to control these octopuses!"

   "Damn, then we are dead?" Jack was dumbfounded.

  If the opponent can really command this group of octopuses completely, then it's still worth fighting for. Hundreds of thousands of octopuses, the opponent is already invincible here, and there is a map in his hand, so he can get the city lord while lying down!

   "It seems that this is right now, but..."

  Before the Son of Heaven finished speaking, a message was suddenly received in the team channel.

   "We might have found the city center!"

  The news comes from the smiling group who left before.

  The Son of Heaven frowned slightly. This was the only good news in this almost hopeless situation.

"We found an empty square with an altar in the middle, but it was empty, and there was nothing like a 'inheritance crystallization' around it, and there were two barriers set up on the square, one outside, one around the altar, and the outside It seems that you need to bring map fragments to enter this layer of enchantment, and it’s not clear what’s inside.”

  The Son of Heaven was a little surprised when he read the news: "There is no inheritance crystal, so how can you be sure that it is the center of the city?"

   "We can't be sure...but we met the red sickle girl here. She is guarding in front of the barrier, and we can't get close." Smile explained truthfully.

"I see."

  The Son of Heaven nodded. After closing the team channel, looking back at Jack, he only said three words: "Let's join forces!"

   "Huh?" Jack was taken aback.

"You have also seen that the current situation is no longer a three-legged confrontation, but Captain Ghost's family dominates, and it is as powerful as a crush. If we don't join forces, all the efforts we have made before will be in vain. Only by joining forces, there will be so much A glimmer of hope," said the Son of Heaven.

   "Are you... sure there will be a play together?" Jack looked at Tianzi suspiciously.

  In the current situation, not to mention only two of them are present, even if there are ten more, it seems that they can only be hanged and beaten by the ghost captain.

   "Actually, I still have a hole card. If it goes well, I may have a chance to 'steal' the city lord from the opponent..." the emperor said cryptically.

   "Damn, it's about this time, if you have any cards, tell me quickly, don't be silly!" Jack frowned.

  The Son of Heaven also understood that now is not the time to keep secrets, so he quickly explained his plan.

   "It's actually this kind of hole card..."

  Jack looked at the Son of Heaven in surprise after hearing this, and said hesitantly, "If what you said is true, there is indeed a glimmer of hope..."

   "The contract is here. If we want to unite, we have to do it as soon as possible. We don't have much time." The emperor took out a blood contract scroll from his body and handed it to Jack.

  Jack glanced at it, and even the terms of the cooperation were clearly written on it.

   "My God, you even prepared this thing?" Jack looked at the emperor in disbelief. Could he have foreseen this situation in advance?

   "I like to be foolproof when doing things. This contract is actually prepared for the ghost captain. In order to deal with certain emergencies, the last resort..."

  Tianzi glanced at Jack blankly: "I just didn't expect it to be used on you."

   "What the **** are you..."

  Jack has a bad word and doesn't know whether to say it or not.

   What the other party meant was obviously that he was not regarded as a serious competitor from the beginning...

   "Although cooperating with you makes me sick, but this is the only way to do it now... If I really want to give up directly, I am really not reconciled." Jack cursed helplessly, and signed his name on the contract cursingly.

  The contract was successfully formed. So far, the two companies are considered to be on the same front.

   "President, he has acted!" At this time, the subordinate in charge of tracking sent a message: the ghost captain started to move.

   "Come on!"

   A group of people set off in a hurry, hanging far behind.

The opponent has gained control of the octopus swarm, and his strength has greatly increased, but it is also because of this that when he moves, there will always be a large number of octopuses around him, and the line of action becomes extremely conspicuous, making it difficult to lose track of him. .

  Of course, with the current strength of the opponent, there is no need to hide anymore.

   Any tricks and schemes are only used when the strength is weak. When the advantages are accumulated to a sufficient extent, it is completely possible to drop ten times with one force, and just push them over in a fair manner!

  The octopus shoals in front of the city spread mightily across the city, and a group of people behind them followed sneakily.

   After following for about half an hour, everyone finally arrived at the place.

   This is an extremely wide stone square. The square is empty and there are no buildings. Only in the center is a conspicuous altar surrounded by hundreds of steps.

Near the altar, there are two barriers visible to the naked eye. A small barrier directly covers the inner altar body, and the other extends outward for about a hundred meters, like an upside-down bowl, covering the surrounding area of ​​the altar. The scope is firmly protected.

  When Mu You came, Lin Xue was the only one present, holding a sickle and standing in front of the barrier of the square, blocking anyone who wanted to approach.

  When he was about to enter the Sixth District, Mu You released Lin Xue from the backpack ahead of time, and handed the No. 5 fragment to her.

   When Mu You followed Tianzi and others through the Sixth District, she was guided by the fragmented arrow and followed far behind. She did not change direction until she entered the Fifth District.

   Mu You led a group of people to look for the Octopus King, while Lin Xue went straight to the center of the city secretly.

  At the previous occult conference, Virgo had provided a piece of information: the city of fools will rise at dawn and end at night without light.

  After analysis, Mu You guessed that the opening of each sky city is likely to have a time limit, like Dawn City, which must be opened at dawn.

  Dawn in the usual sense refers to the time period from four to six in the morning.

   That is to say, even if you arrive at the city center in advance, you may not be able to touch the inheritance crystal, but it is easy to expose the location of the city center.

  Of course, Mu You couldn't be sure that Virgo's information must be true, so in the process of finding the Octopus King, Lin Xue was asked to take the map and come to the city center to check it out.

  The results proved that the information was correct. At 3:48, there were still no crystals on the altar in the center of the square.

  However, the crystallization world is not far away.

  After arriving at the scene, Mu You immediately manipulated the octopuses to surround the barrier with three circles inside and outside.

   Then he passed through the octopus alone and stepped into the barrier.

  When entering the outer barrier, it is necessary to verify the fool and the dual identity of the map owner, and it is quite strict.

  Entrants must carry at least three map fragments, as well as the relic that each person initially obtained. In addition, they must not carry any backpack equipment. Only after the conditions are matched, the enchantment will be released.

   That is to say, if someone accidentally loses the original relic, even if they find all the fragments later, they will be directly excluded and lose the qualification for the city lord.

  Mu You has no problem screening in these two aspects.

  He has always carried the pocket watch with him, and he now has as many as four pieces, which are enough as a stepping stone.

  Mu You left the backpack to Lin Xue, entered the barrier alone, walked all the way to the altar in the center, and touched the small barrier in front.

   As a result, it was naturally bounced away instantly, and at the same time, a reminder appeared in my mind.

  【City of Dawn Altar, open at 4:00 every day, 10 minutes and 32 seconds left. 】

   "Sure enough, it's four o'clock..."

   Mu You turned his head and looked beyond the barrier. In other words, as long as you stay here for ten minutes, everything will be settled.

   There will be another chapter later (around two o’clock), so go to sleep if you can’t wait, it will be the same tomorrow.
