The fallen Arhat bumped into the wooden fish that had been placed at his feet.

"Dong..." The sound of the wooden fish lingered long at the end.

The person in the main hall felt as if they had been enlightened.

"Oh no, stop him from banging anymore!"

The monks in the main hall shouted and rushed toward the Arhat.

Before they could even get close, they were struck by the magic of the wooden fish and collapsed to the ground, transforming into their original aquatic forms.

They turned out to be giant octopuses, dozens of them in total.

"Oh my god!" someone cried out in terror.

The main hall was already packed with people, and then there were so many giant, soft octopuses that filled every crevice.

Some people near the gate realized something was wrong and tried to run out, but it was too late.

They had been entangled and tripped by the octopus tentacles, and then dragged back.

Before the devout men and women on the edge of the crowd could react, they were entangled by the sticky tentacles of the giant octopus.

"ah…"

The main hall was filled with screams, and people were jostling and in complete chaos.

So all the powerful monsters were in the main hall.

"Everyone be careful, save them quickly!"

Xiaoxi shouted and immediately began fighting with the octopus closest to her.

She wielded her crescent blade, dodging the victims that were caught in the octopus, and cut off all of its tentacles.

Once the tentacles leave the body, they initially cling tightly to the victim, but the Crescent Moon is, after all, an upgraded top-tier weapon, which ordinary demons cannot withstand.

The severed tentacles quickly lost their vitality and withered.

The victims, having narrowly escaped death, gasped for breath, only to discover that their skin was now covered in octopus slime, which was corrosive and caused them to writhe in pain.

Xiaoxi ignored them and continued to hack and slash at the octopus.

Meanwhile, Bei Chen killed quite quickly, using his vajra pestle to smash the octopus's head.

Yu Qiu released a shower of peach blossoms, each sharp petal slicing the octopus and causing it to scream in agony.

Su Linran and Han Yu took out talismans, and the octopus immediately dropped the person it was attacking, as if it had been electrocuted.

Even Yan Mo joined the fray, her weapon being a white silk ribbon that strangled the octopus, causing it to suffocate from lack of oxygen.

Zha Zha Cheng felt like he was going to bite his teeth off, but thankfully the slime wouldn't hurt him, it was just disgusting.

The group worked with lightning speed, killing or injuring most of the giant octopus.

Xiao Xi cast a spell, and all the dead and injured giant octopuses turned into smaller octopuses.

Bei Chen immediately put everything into his plastic net bag.

The surviving men and women collapsed to the ground.

People whose skin is corroded by octopus slime are both frightened and in pain, and continue to groan and moan.

Zheng Qian, the master of Chinese studies who had been shouting the loudest just now, suffered a relapse of his heart condition after being frightened by the incident.

Xiao Xi ignored the pious men and women and had Bei Chen and the others carry over the Arhat statue that had just fallen over.

Most of the gold leaf and clay on the Arhat statues have fallen off.

It turned out to be a mummified Arhat statue, and this body still had a trace of life.

Xiaoxi, disregarding her heartache, took out three black orchid herbs and arranged them into a grand magic array.

Bei Chen and Yu Qiu immediately took their positions as protectors.

The entire hall was within the array. The gold leaf and mud on the flesh-bodied Arhat statue had all melted away, revealing that it was actually the fat monk who had transformed from the giant sea turtle, only now he was a thin monk.

Unexpectedly, there were two more mummified Arhat statues on either side of the main hall, which had also been restored to their original appearance.

These monks were all on their deathbeds when Xiaoxi miraculously saved them.

The injured men and women in the main hall, as well as Zheng Qian, the master of Chinese studies who suffered a heart attack, were all healed by Xiao Xi.

For Zheng Qian, a master of Chinese classical studies, this was another close call.

He stumbled and rushed to Xiaoxi. Are there really gods in this world?

"Little fairy, thank you... thank you for saving everyone. I'm sorry, I misunderstood you earlier."

Only then did he look at the several flesh-bodied Arhats who had been rescued.

"Master Huifang!"

Zheng Qian exclaimed, "This is the real abbot of Guangde Temple!"

He glanced again at Bei Chen's plastic net bag, which contained all sorts of seafood monsters, showing just how ridiculously he had been tricked.

Master Huifang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her fellow disciples were all safe and sound.
