557: Chapter 557 Octopus Fish

More than half a day later.

Nie Ning sat inside an ice house, cultivating.

Although he lacked a Tier 6 cultivation technique, cultivation was a matter of perseverance; cultivating slowly was still far better than not cultivating at all.

Aside from Nie Ning, who was hanging there, the fiends and demons took turns patrolling, while those with heavy injuries continued to recuperate.

As for Isidor, the Abyssal Succubus, and the Capybara, after acquiring the Tier 9 sea beast carcass, they gathered together to try and obtain the 'world beacon' in order to locate the position of the world core.

...

A blizzard was still blowing across the Frozen Continent, and several demons were chatting as they patrolled.

"Have you guys heard? Rumor has it that Lady Hera's first time is still there."

One of the sheep-headed demons glanced around and said cautiously.

Hearing this, the rest of the demons couldn't help but sneer.

"Can you stop making us brothers laugh? I heard that Lady Hera sleeps with a hundred demons a night, but no one's ever actually seen it."

"Don't believe those rumors. Succubi rely on this to grow stronger; if her first time was still there, could she grow to this level?"

"I just heard about it too. But Lady Hera's appearance really isn't very good-looking; I'm afraid only that group of humans likes her. I really don't know what kind of bizarre aesthetic those humans have to actually like this appearance."

"You're the one with the problem, right? Do you think every demon likes minotaurs just like you?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I don't."

"Still saying you don't? Last time I saw you go to the minotaurs' tavern, wasn't there someone following you by your side..."

Just as several demons were mocking and bantering with each other, a huge dark shadow had quietly arrived beneath the hundred-meter-thick ice layer.

At that moment, the surrounding blizzard suddenly stagnated, as if time had been paused.

Several demons sensed the abnormality, but just as they were about to sound the warning, snowflakes surrounded them at an extremely fast speed.

The snowflakes were like sharp blades; before the several Tier 7 demons could react, they had already turned into a sky full of bloody rain scattering across the ice surface.

The hot, magma-like blood eroded the ice surface, quickly corroding a huge ice cave into the ice layer.

Suddenly, a dark shadow stretched out from the ice cave.

That was a fish head over ten meters long, or rather, half a fish head with its upper and lower jaws separated. Two huge eyes looked around, and the sharp teeth on its upper jaw clung to the edge of the ice cave like fingers.

At the same time, a huge octopus head more than fifty meters wide squeezed out from the ice cave, along with thick, weird black arms.

Following that, its body slowly elongated, and a body of several hundred meters resembling a snake's torso slithered out.

Its surface was covered with half-fish faces bearing dead fish eyes, piled layer upon layer on the huge body like scales.

The massive shadow in the blizzard caught the attention of the demonic creatures in the nearby camp.

The camp's alarm was sounded.

Living beings, including the clergy, rushed out of their houses to check.

Just as they were focusing on the huge dark shadow, many white ripples appeared on the ice surface, which were hard to spot in the blizzard without a closer look.

Suddenly, a large number of weird worms with fish heads, nearly five meters long, crawled out from the ice surface and launched indiscriminate attacks on the living beings in the camp.

Although the worms' strength was not high, they possessed powerful regenerative abilities and formidable corrosive mucus.

In just a short while, more than a dozen fiends and demons fell to the ground, and were then completely devoured by the white worms.

"Where did these Corrupted Creatures come from!"

A demon's expression turned ugly as he waved his hand to burn the white worm in front of him into ashes.

At this moment, the camp was in chaos, and several Tier 8 powerhouses flew out of the camp.

Right at this moment, a weird crimson flame lit up from the blizzard, looking like a pillar of fire hundreds of meters long.

The several Tier 8s looked at each other; they all sensed a rich demonic aura!

Could other demons have entered this place?

Among them, a Tier 8 demon and a Tier 8 fiend flew out, turning into a stream of light as they burrowed into the blizzard.

At this moment, the pillar of fire in the blizzard whipped around like a long whip, and the two Tier 8s who had just flown out were knocked back, directly crashing through the hundred-meter ice layer and falling into the sea floor.

The Octopus-Headed Snake-Fish slowly stepped into the camp's range.

At the instant they saw the weird body of the Octopus-Headed Snake-Fish, the living beings present realized that the other party was a Corruptor!

Furthermore, there was Demonic Flame on the Corruptor, which meant that the other party was likely born from the previous battle!

At this time, the dead fish eyes on the body of the Octopus-Headed Snake-Fish slowly turned, and then it stared nakedly at the living beings present just like that.

Even the demons known for their tyrannical mentalities felt a chill in their hearts from being stared at, not daring to make a move lightly.

...

Nie Ning slowly walked out of the ice house, looking at that huge Corruptor, a trace of pain emerging in the depths of his eyes.

If he hadn't tried his best to suppress it, I'm afraid this Corrupted Puppet would have already completely transformed into a Corruptor.

However, with his current state, he simply couldn't hold on for too long.

After all, he was only a Tier 6 Transcendent, and wanting to control such a massive corrupted body was quite strenuous.

But if he didn't do this, the condensed Corruptor would find it hard to inflict damage on this camp.

And what came next was the most crucial part.

...

Like a snake, the Octopus-Headed Snake-Fish, its body burning with Demonic Flame, slithered and charged into the camp.

Seeing this, the people in the camp quickly organized a defense line and launched attacks on the Octopus-Headed Snake-Fish.

In an instant, countless attacks landed on the Octopus-Headed Snake-Fish. The explosions blasted the surface of its body into tatters, and a large number of fish-head scales fell into the camp like rain.

Seeing that this Corruptor didn't seem as strong as imagined, a Tier 8 demon flew up with a dozen or more demons, preparing to resolve this Corruptor as soon as possible.

Suddenly, those fish-head scales that had fallen to the ground grew tentacles, and their opening and closing mouths spat out a large number of egg-like white 'beads'.

'Boom, boom, boom...'

The white 'beads' exploded, erupting with attacks comparable to Tier 6 strength.

In just a split second, the entire camp was blown into a complete mess.

Taking advantage of the distraction of the demon clergy and fiends in the camp, Nie Ning quietly left behind an ordinary ice-and-snow avatar in place.

Then Nie Ning took out a string of bracelets inlaid with transparent glass beads.

The Mind-Clearing Evil-Warding Bead possessed the effects of calming the mind and spirit, and concealing one's aura.

It was a breath-concealing mystic tool specially borrowed from Amanra when he left the academy before.

"I hope you guys can hold on and not all die out."

Nie Ning looked up at the battered Octopus-Headed Snake-Fish in the blizzard.

After muttering softly, he directly severed the mental connection.

In an instant, the out-of-control Octopus-Headed Snake-Fish shook its body, and a large amount of gray seaweed covered with sharp teeth stretched out from its battered torso.

The aura of the Octopus-Headed Snake-Fish began to surge wildly, quickly breaking through the limit of Tier 8 to reach the peak of Tier 8.

The approaching demons and fiends didn't even have time to react before they were grabbed by the seaweed covered in sharp teeth, and dragged forcefully into the body of the Octopus-Headed Snake-Fish.
