403: Octopus Monster

The Gravekeeper led Su Han and Bi Yao out of the stone chamber, continuing their search for the Erosion Abyss in the underground labyrinth.

They walked for a long time, finally arriving at the bank of a wide underground dark river.

The dark river's water was a strange black color, emitting a pungent odor.

The river roared and surged, splashing high.

A thin mist permeated the river surface, making it difficult to see the situation on the opposite bank.

Su Han placed Bi Yao on a rock by the river and said, "It seems we must cross this dark river to continue searching for the Erosion Abyss."

The Gravekeeper frowned and said, "This dark river looks very dangerous; crossing it rashly might be perilous."

Just as they were hesitating, a low roar suddenly came from the dark river.

The river water churned, and a gigantic octopus monster emerged from the river.

The octopus monster's tentacles were dozens of feet long, and each tentacle was covered with sharp suckers.

The octopus monster waved its tentacles and lunged at Su Han and the others.

Su Han quickly drew his short sword and met it.

He infused Spiritual Qi into his short sword, and it instantly became incredibly sharp.

He wielded his short sword, engaging in a fierce battle with the octopus monster.

Bi Yao watched Su Han fight the octopus monster from the side, feeling extremely anxious.

She tried to get up and help, but the Soul-Devouring Curse within her acted up, and her body simply wouldn't obey her.

She gritted her teeth, trying hard to control her body, and suddenly, she thought of the jade pendant's power.

Bi Yao closed her eyes, concentrating, trying to awaken the power within the jade pendant.

Just then, the Gravekeeper suddenly said, "Bi Yao, don't waste your Qi.

The jade pendant's power has been Sealed and cannot be used.

We must find another way to deal with the octopus monster."

Just as they were in a predicament, Su Han discovered a weakness of the octopus monster.

The octopus monster's eyes were its most vulnerable point.

Su Han seized the opportunity and stabbed the octopus monster's eye with his sword.

The octopus monster cried out in pain, and its tentacles recoiled.

However, the octopus monster did not give up its attack.

It waved its remaining tentacles, stirring up a strong wind that nearly knocked Su Han and the others off their feet.

Su Han secretly groaned, not expecting this octopus monster to be so difficult to deal with.

Just as they were almost despairing, Bi Yao's Soul-Devouring Curse suddenly flared up wildly, and a powerful force erupted from her body.

Her eyes turned blood-red, and a ball of black flame condensed in her hand.

Bi Yao roared and charged at the octopus monster.

The black flame collided with the octopus monster's tentacles, instantly setting them ablaze.

The octopus monster screamed in agony, struggling desperately.

Su Han seized the opportunity to unleash the Cold Jade Art, and a cold Sword Qi shot towards the octopus monster's eye.

The Sword Qi accurately pierced the octopus monster's eye, and the octopus monster let out a shriek of pain and crashed to the ground.

Before Su Han and the others could catch their breath, a louder roar suddenly came from the dark river.

The river water churned even more violently, and a huge whirlpool appeared in the middle of the river.

From the whirlpool, a colossal figure slowly emerged.

It was a monster even larger than the octopus monster; its body was like a small mountain, covered in black scales, and its eyes glowed with blood-red light.

The monster opened its gaping maw and let out an earth-shattering roar.

Su Han and the others turned pale with fright; they knew that an even more intense battle was about to begin.

But what exactly was this monster?

Su Han tightly gripped his short sword, staring warily at the monster, secretly vowing that no matter the cost, they would not retreat.

Although Bi Yao's Soul-Devouring Curse was acting up, she was also trying to gather her strength, wanting to fight this unknown terror alongside Su Han.

The Gravekeeper silently observed the situation from the side; he seemed to feel a familiar aura from this monster, yet this aura also left him very confused. (End of Chapter)
