Chapter 217 The Origin of the Giant Octopus and the Water Spirit
As Xiao Jin was descending, he suddenly sensed a dangerous creature rapidly approaching them from below.
However, Xiao Rou's answer immediately put Xiao Jin's mind at ease.
"Brother Jin is fine, he's a friend."
"As Ninth Brother said, coming here feels just like coming home."
Even at home, there are still relatives and friends with whom there are disagreements. But Xiao Rou is really something else; she gets respect from everyone, no matter who she goes to.
Look, they knew we were coming, so they came out to greet us personally!
After hearing Xiaorou's words, Xiaojin started smugly talking to everyone again.
As they talked, Xiao Jin led everyone to the designated location indicated by Xiao Rou.
Although there was no light and the seabed was pitch black, with everyone's abilities, the difference between using the naked eye and not using the naked eye was not that significant.
A huge, protruding platform appeared before everyone's eyes, with an unfathomable abyss below it.
Following Xiao Rou's instructions, Xiao Jin took out the Immortal Palace and threw it forward, then reached out and made a hand seal while chanting a spell.
As the incantation rang out, the small palace that Xiao Jin had thrown out suddenly grew to a size of a hundred feet, radiating golden light and surrounded by immortal energy.
This is because Xiao Jin is in control; otherwise, this celestial palace treasure could grow to a size of ten thousand feet, floating between heaven and earth.
It's more like a magical artifact from the immortals.
If removing the golden light scattered throughout the Celestial Palace wasn't equivalent to removing the Celestial Palace's protective mechanisms, Little Gold would have removed it long ago.
If it weren't for the heavy water properties, this magical artifact from the celestial palace, which shines like a small sun, would truly be a guiding light in this pitch-black seabed.
Specifically to guide the enemy.
Within a few minutes, after everything had been settled, the aura that everyone had sensed at the beginning arrived in front of them.
When they first saw this creature, all the little ones were startled.
An octopus-like creature, approximately 100,000 feet in size, suddenly appeared before them from the dark seawater.
Beneath that enormous head were countless tentacles.
Each tentacle varies in length and thickness.
However, what terrified everyone was not only the creature's appearance, but also its tentacles, which were covered with densely packed fangs and constantly wriggling.
After observing his appearance, everyone sensed him briefly. Xiao Jin cursed inwardly, "Damn, Xiao Rou, this big brother is a Heavenly Lord level being?"
Hearing Xiao Jin's words, Xiao Rou gently nudged him with her elbow and replied, "Don't talk nonsense. Senior is already hundreds of thousands of years old. Why call him 'Big Brother'?"
When Xiao Rou finished disciplining Xiao Jin, the giant octopus opposite her transmitted its thoughts to Xiao Rou: "I can sense that you are a being formed by the laws of the world."
Therefore, I shall address you as Princess!
Xiao Rou sensed the meaning behind the giant octopus's words and quickly replied, "Senior, you don't need to be so polite. It doesn't matter what you call me."
"That won't do. Your Excellency is majestic and imposing, and cannot be disobeyed."
You are a being formed by the laws of the adults. Although you cannot compare to the adults, you are as close as the adults.
We will certainly respect you as we would our esteemed elder.
After explaining to Xiaorou, the giant octopus paused for a moment, then asked Xiaorou with a clear look of reminiscence on its face, "Back then, when the adults were here, I was only this big."
After saying that, the giant octopus even used its enormous tentacles to measure it.
Then he continued, "Hundreds of thousands of years have passed in the blink of an eye. I have gone from a little sea monster to an old sea monster. I wonder how you are doing now, sir?"
Hearing the giant octopus's reminiscences and questions, Xiaorou replied with a smile, "Sister is doing well now, just like before."
It's just that I can't show my face freely for the time being due to some agreement with someone.
"Oh, I see!"
Princess, did the master send you here?
Is there any instruction for us?
Sensing the giant octopus's question, Xiaorou explained the whole story of why she had come here.
Upon hearing this, the giant octopus instantly flew into a rage, causing the seawater to surge and churn, creating towering waves even though it was nearly ten thousand miles away from the surface.
He then said to Xiaorou, “Those who dare to harm you, let me lead an army of millions of sea monsters to slaughter them all and turn them into the bellies of my men.”
"Perfect timing! It's been a long time since we've tasted the Immortal Lord's flavor since you left!"
Having said that, he was about to issue an order to summon the sea monsters in the vicinity.
Seeing this, Xiao Rou quickly stopped the giant octopus, saying, "Senior, you mustn't!"
Putting aside the strength of the nearly twenty Immortal Lords currently in the sea, even if we could kill them all, the battle would still be a huge loss for the sea monsters.
Secondly, given my sister's current temporary retirement, there's no guarantee that a powerful figure at the level of an Immortal Emperor might come to avenge her.
If this battle alarms the Celestial Emperor so much, then when the Celestial Emperor arrives, not only you and me, but even the entire Dead Black Sea will be instantly reduced to ashes in the universe in the hands of the Celestial Emperor.
Therefore, all of this must be kept within the limits allowed by the enemy.
It's like a game.
After speaking, Xiao Rou explained their current situation to the giant octopus again, including why the Emperor-level experts could not attack them.
However, this only applies to not being able to attack Zhu Chongjiu.
After hearing Xiaorou's story again, the giant octopus sighed and said, "If the Lord were still here, who in all the heavens and myriad realms would dare to lay a finger on the Black Sea?"
Since that's the case, you and your friends should hide here.
I've instructed the nearby sea monsters to keep a close eye on things here, and I'll inform Your Highness immediately if there's any disturbance.
"Thank you, senior. I am very grateful." After Xiaorou thanked the giant octopus, the giant octopus disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.
Everyone who saw this was astonished. Xiao Jin was the first to ask Xiao Rou, "Little Rou, how come there are such powerful monsters in this Dead Black Sea?"
Even if outsiders don't say it, isn't the strongest here only at the Heavenly King level?
"Because everyone who explored this area has disappeared."
Even if the Heavenly Emperor were to arrive here, he would sense the endless danger and thus would no longer venture deeper.
Moreover, they generally believe it is due to the environment inside the Dead Black Sea.
People of the Heavenly Emperor level and above all know that this is the old dojo of my sister, and generally no one would come to explore the old dojo for no reason.
Even if the owner isn't home, that doesn't give you a reason to just walk into their house.
Therefore, no one knew that there was a Heavenly Lord-level demon beast here.
Just as Xiao Jin finished asking her question, and Xiao Mu was about to ask something else, Xiao Rou said impatiently, "Alright, hurry up and go into the Immortal Palace to settle Ninth Brother in first."
"By the way, Xiao Mu, could you check if Ninth Brother has any external injuries besides being weak, and then treat him?"
After saying that, Xiao Rou walked into the fairy palace.
Xiao Rou, who was following behind, pouted slightly and muttered in a low voice, "What's wrong with telling me a little about your sister? Why are you being so mysterious?"
And don't forget, the cultivation technique that Ninth Brother practices includes the Law of Wood.
If my true form weren't a spirit of law, Ninth Brother's understanding of the law of wood would be far superior to mine.
Even if there were any external injuries, they would have healed long ago. How could it be my turn?
