184: Desperate situation!

After Old Mo received Wang Mang's instructions, he didn't hesitate and immediately gave the order to return.

The remaining twenty-plus submersibles and over two hundred frogmen mercenaries immediately retreated along the path they came from...

During their retreat, they also did their best to pull some of their fallen brothers from the water, even though these brothers were already disfigured, they couldn't leave them in such a place.

This was the last thing they could do for these brothers.

Wave Breaker also salvaged many Octopus Demon corpses; he wanted to use these beasts as burial companions for his brothers!

At the same time, he also felt that these octopuses might be of great use to Dr. Chen, and he wanted to take them back for Dr. Chen and his team to research.

After Old Mo and Wave Breaker had moved far away from this area of water, Wang Mang finally felt relieved and headed towards the depths of the ink, which had been blown to pieces...

Soon, Wang Mang was pleasantly surprised to discover that Uncle Mo and his team's thermal weapon attacks had caused the ink to lose its corrosive effect on skin!

After testing several times and confirming that contact with the ink no longer caused any harm to his body, Wang Mang's massive body plunged directly into a large cloud of ink!

He wanted to find that terrifying Octopus Demon from here!

If this guy was dead, he would eat it, then take its demon core and the White Bone Giant Net and Nimble Spear that it had previously taken!

If this guy was still alive, he would kill it, then take those items from its body...

The reason Wang Mang was so confident was that he felt this guy had already been swallowed by such terrifying ink and attacked by Uncle Mo and his team with so many thermal weapons, so even if this guy was really still alive now, he must already be at the end of his rope and no match for him!

After a short while, Wang Mang had already delved deep into several clouds of ink.

But what puzzled him was... he couldn't find any trace of the Octopus Demon!

How strange!

Could it be... this guy fell to the bottom of the lake?

Thinking of this, Wang Mang swam his massive body towards the bottom of the lake.

After a short while, sure enough, he found it!

He saw that at the bottom of the lake, there was a huge deep pit, and on the edge of the pit, there were several bloody, broken tentacles!

Hahaha!

It seems that this Octopus Demon was really killed by the ink and thermal weapons!

As soon as he thought that he would soon get the demon core and the lost weapons, Wang Mang was overjoyed, and then, without thinking, he plunged headfirst into the deep pit!

However, at this moment... suddenly, a terrifying sense of oppression arose in his heart!

Wang Mang felt a chill down his spine, and his entire Python felt an extremely terrifying danger.

The next second.

He saw a gigantic tentacle suddenly emerge from the deep pit; the tentacle was two to three meters thick, and at its very end, there was a huge sharp cone, covered with terrifying barbs!

Holy crap!

Wang Mang was immediately startled and quickly dodged to the side!

The next second, with a 'boom...' sound, this gigantic tentacle directly and fiercely plunged into the cave wall at the edge of the deep pit.

'Rumble...'

'Rumble...'

'Rumble...'

Immediately following, the cave wall of the deep pit began to crack inch by inch, and huge rocks directly collapsed, smashing down fiercely towards Wang Mang's body!

All of this happened too quickly; Wang Mang didn't have time to react and was hit by this incredibly huge rock, and his entire body was violently smashed into the deep pit...

At the same time.

This huge deep pit began to collapse directly, and countless giant rocks began to fall wildly!

Wang Mang hadn't expected that suddenly, a favorable situation would turn into a dead end!

But he was not intimidated by this; instead, he immediately swam his massive body quickly towards the bottom of the deep pit!

It was absolutely impossible to withstand so many rocks!

Wang Mang's only way out now was to go against the flow!

He hoped this deep pit was large enough.

Otherwise.

He would surely crash and die!

"Hahaha!"

"Hahahahahahaha!!"

Just then, bursts of wild laughter suddenly sounded from the bottom of the deep pit.

Such a familiar voice!

It was that Octopus Demon!

Wang Mang immediately gritted his teeth, damn it, this guy was too hard to kill, he still wasn't dead, and, judging by the sound, this guy seemed to have gotten stronger again!

Damn it.

Wang Mang felt like his entire Python was about to explode!

"You little beast, although you always give This Great King a surprise every time, and even cause This Great King harm, if it weren't for you, This Great King wouldn't have advanced to the late-stage of the initial rank so quickly, hahaha!"

"Little beast, should This Great King thank you or hate you?"

The terrifying laughter of the Octopus Demon echoed from the bottom of the deep pit!

Wang Mang was instantly taken aback!

Oh my god!

Damn it!

This Octopus Demon had actually advanced to the late-stage of the initial rank!

He and Uncle Mo and his team had used all their might and paid such a heavy price, yet not only did they fail to kill it, but they also allowed its cultivation to improve, this was really a bit too messed up!

Soon, Wang Mang saw from afar that at the bottom of this deep pit, which seemed to swallow all light, a chillingly terrifying Octopus Demon was lying there, looking up.

Its head now looked like a majestic small mountain, estimated to be at least fifteen meters long!

Its surface was covered with rough and uneven bumps, looking like ancient reefs eroded by time, exuding a primitive and ferocious aura.

Its tentacles, extending from its huge head, were like thick Pythons, stretching freely in the darkness of this deep pit.

Each tentacle was estimated to be fifty meters long!

And they were densely covered with sharp suckers, looking like deep black holes, as if they could instantly suck anything that approached into an endless abyss!

On the surface of its tentacles, a strange eerie glow flickered, and under the faint light at the bottom of this deep pit, it looked like will-o'-the-wisps from hell, making one's hair stand on end!

At this moment, the two huge ruby eyes of this terrifying Octopus Demon were staring at Wang Mang with a ferocious, cold, and cruel gaze!

Its body was gently rising and falling with its breathing.

Each breath was accompanied by a violent surge of the surrounding water; it was very much like an ancient demon, making the entire space exude a suffocatingly terrifying aura!

Wang Mang was completely stunned by the appearance of this Octopus Demon after it advanced to the late-stage of the initial rank!

It was truly terrifying!

No, I must quickly find a way to fight it to the death!
