(One more) 878: Chapter 888: I’m Yours!
(One more) The ground seed to shatter like a mirror, breaking apart into fragnted pieces.
Tang Zhong’s face turned grim at the sight.
Without paying any attention to the black figure, he soared into the air.
This place was riddled with danger, and losing his life here would truly be a loss not worth considering.
Standing high in the sky, he gazed down at the scene unfolding below him.
With the crystal-like ground breaking apart, the underground scenery began to reveal itself.
It was an expanse of ocean.
It was akin to an underwater world.
All around, there were various marine creatures.
However, what was puzzling was that the black figure stood atop the water’s surface, completely unaffected by gravity—he didn’t sink at all.
In other words, the figure was sohow standing directly on the water’s surface.
It was simply astonishing!
If there were no treasures here, Tang Zhong wouldn’t believe it!
Suddenly, Tang Zhong’s eyes caught sight of a stunning scene.
Beneath the water, there was an enormous octopus gliding through the depths!
The octopus was massive, spanning dozens of ters in size!
The surface of the octopus shimred with a dark-red hue, looking rugged and uneven, almost like armor, as it moved fluidly.
Tang Zhong was completely stunned.
Could this octopus be the creature behind the earlier tentacles?
What really was this octopus, and why was it so enormous?
It seed no less than a terrifying monster.
And at that very mont—
The black figure began to move again.
Clad in a long black robe, he seed like a chanical combat machine.
He crouched, extending his hand downward to pierce through the ground.
Just as Tang Zhong anticipated seawater surging up, he saw the black figure’s hand pass through, but nothing ca forth—it was as though his hand had breached into another world entirely.
From Tang Zhong’s perspective, the underwater sea and the current location seed like two separate dinsions.
The two worlds did not interfere with one another.
This…
This…
Although the black figure’s identity remained unknown, he seed to possess an extraordinary understanding of everything around him!
Black flas ignited in the figure’s palm.
When the octopus in the sea noticed this, it beca visibly panicked, darting about in fear.
The octopus didn’t even attempt to resist the black flas, seemingly driven by pure terror.
The black flas swiftly transford into chains, resembling shackles, which shot toward the octopus.
In an instant, the enormous octopus was tightly bound.
The creature seed terrified, struggling against the grip of the chains, their loud clashing echoing in the air, as the octopus writhed in visible agony.
Tang Zhong quietly observed the events, baffled by the black figure’s disregard for his presence as the figure made his move.
This person was undoubtedly peculiar.
Then Tang Zhong shifted his gaze toward the octopus and discovered—to his astonishnt—that the octopus was staring back at him.
At last, he got a clear look at the creature’s appearance: five eyes aligned in a row, with the central one being the largest, surrounded by four smaller ones.
Most striking of all, Tang Zhong could see a plea for help in those eyes.
An octopus was seeking rescue.
Tang Zhong felt a chill run down his spine.
At that mont, a faint voice reached his ears.
“Help… help …”
The octopus was really pleading for help.
“He… He wants to capture .
You must not let him succeed…”
Tang Zhong’s eyes widened in shock.
For reasons he couldn’t explain, gazing upon the octopus triggered movent along his spine—it was as if he were responding to so kind of summons.
He suddenly recalled that the three magical stones had rged with his body, integrating into his spine.
Now the octopus was calling out to him, and his spine was stirring?
Could it be… this octopus was the magical stone he had been searching for all along?
Yet it was an octopus—not even remotely resembling a stone!
This had to be impossible!
“Rescue , I am… yours!” the octopus continued to communicate with Tang Zhong.
At that mont, the octopus seed to succumb to the chains of black fla.
It was bound completely, unable to move.
The black figure then used the chains to pull the octopus closer to him.
“Mine?” Tang Zhong couldn’t help but repeat the octopus’s final words.
Previously, the ten Fla Dragon Soldiers had uttered similar phrases to him.
In this world, there existed eight magical stones—all belonging to Tang Zhong.
Tang Zhong was now certain: This octopus was a magical stone.
The black figure likely possessed knowledge of the stone’s existence, but since the stone was destined for him, Tang Zhong could not afford to let it slip away!
Without hesitation, he stepped forward, flas bursting forth from his fists.
The power of the Martial Arts Peak erupted at this mont!
“Let it go!”
At last, the black figure emitted a rare, deep voice: “Obstruction leads to death!”
He released the chains binding the octopus and turned to face Tang Zhong, delivering a blow to counter his fiery fist.
In an instant—BOOM!—both figures were pushed back by the explosive collision.
Tang Zhong felt his arm go numb; this black figure was certainly no ordinary opponent.
The black figure was also forced back, though he seed unaffected by the impact, once again growling in his low tone: “Obstruction leads to death!”
The next second, the black figure charged forward once more.
Tang Zhong heard the black figure’s words.
A task?
This black figure must have been given orders to capture the giant octopus!
But the octopus was Tang Zhong’s.
“I won’t let you succeed!”
Tang Zhong unleashed all his strength.
Whoever this person might be, with such formidable power, he could only prevail by giving his absolute best.
At that mont, the black figure sped toward him like a phantom, engaging Tang Zhong in combat.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The sounds of punches and kicks echoed incessantly.
“Obstruction leads to death!” the black figure roared repeatedly.
Tang Zhong was able to block each strike, but every ti he did, his energy surged violently within his body.
“Who on earth is this guy?” Tang Zhong frowned intensely.
In the air, their figures clashed furiously, exchanging blow after blow.
As for the octopus beneath the sea, the black fla chains held it tightly in place, leaving no chance for escape.
The black flas continued to burn against its flesh, leaving dark scorch marks on its body, its wounds oozing streams of water.
The creature’s fra started to shrink gradually; the water flowing from its body seed to represent its life force, draining away as the flow persisted.
The octopus lay motionless, its body withering and its skin beginning to wither dry.
However, faint white light began to bloom across its surface.
At that very mont, while battling Tang Zhong, the black figure caught sight of this glow.
He imdiately halted the fight with Tang Zhong, muttering in his deep voice, “Task, task!”
Like a machine, he turned and flashed toward the octopus in the distance.
Tang Zhong witnessed this and felt a surge of alarm, realizing the gravity of the situation.
Without delay, he charged toward the figure.
It was evident that the black figure operated as rely a tool, executing tasks to capture the octopus!
This could not be allowed to happen!
