The bloodstains on the knife gradually turned blue, which is the color of octopus blood.
The battle must have just begun.
This man was Zhao Xian. Qiao Xuejun recognized him even from his back. There were very few people as tall as him.
He was confronting an octopus and had already cut off two of its tentacles.
But the strange thing is that the two tentacles on the ground seemed to be dead and motionless. Logically, the octopus's tentacles should still react for a long time after being cut off. Some people even think that it is not a simple nerve reaction, but that it is truly alive.
Zhao Xian now pointed the gun at the octopus's head.
The octopus's heart is in its head, which is the fatal part.
The octopus widened its eyes, stretched out its tentacles, pulled a dry branch from the tree next to it, and waved it in front of its head. The other four tentacles attacked Zhao Xian like thick whips.
It is also covered with dense suction cups. If you are entangled by these tentacles, your bones will probably be crushed.
"Lord Zhao, be careful!"
Just as Qiao Xuejun was watching with fear and holding her breath, a woman's scream came from the opposite side of them, sounding very worried and anxious.
Qiao Xuejun looked over in the direction of the voice.
In the row of trees, half of a person's body popped out from behind a sturdy tree, looking at the fighting arena with great concern.
It's Shen Xingtang! She's here too!
Zhao Xian reacted very quickly. He ducked to the side, allowing the octopus's tentacles to miss the target. He kept the gun in his hand pointed at the octopus's head, and finally, he fired a steady shot.
"Bang!"
The octopus failed to dodge and the bullet hit the center of its head. With a sharp gunshot, blue blood splattered out.
But this shot was obviously not fatal. In fact, the octopus's tentacles did not slow down at all in their attack speed towards Zhao Xian. It chased Zhao Xian and pounced on him with fierce attack power.
The last time Zhao Xian dodged, he had been forced to a position close to a big tree. There was no way to avoid it and he was about to be hit against the tree trunk by the tentacles.
"Ah!" Shen Xingtang was frightened and screamed, "Be careful!"
Zhao Xian's expression did not change. He was forced to the side of a big tree, but he did not stop or change direction. Instead, he quickly and directly kicked the tree sideways, used the force to take off, rolled over the octopus's flying tentacles, and landed neatly.
The tentacles did not retract, but continued to hit the tree trunk, cracking the bark.
Zhao Xian is very skilled. When Qiao Xuejun saw this scene, she immediately understood why Kuang Qianli respected Zhao Xian so much, because he was really good.
Such nimble agility and quick reaction certainly could not be acquired overnight. It must have been acquired through countless actual combat. The whole set of movements seemed to be smooth and without any delay.
Zhao Xian fired two more shots, and the octopus was covered with blue blood, but neither was fatal.
The pain made the octopus's eyeballs bulge. It looked at Zhao Xian with almost resentment, waving its huge tentacles to fight with Zhao Xian, but Zhao Xian was agile and the octopus could not touch him at all.
He picked up the knife on the ground and swiftly cut off another leg of the octopus.
Qiao Xuejun looked at it for a while and reminded: "Zhao Xian, 20 centimeters above the first muzzle is where the main heart is!"
Zhao Xian glanced towards Qiao Xuejun's position.
While fighting, his eyes were extremely aggressive, revealing a savage ferocity, as if he was about to pounce on his prey and bite its neck in the next second.
Qiao Xuejun was so shocked by these eyes that she paused, then came back to her senses and continued to add: "Octopuses have three hearts, but they will die as long as the main heart stops beating."
"Also, be careful of those tentacles at your feet. They might be playing dead."
Zhao Xian retracted his gaze, raised the long knife in his hand and chopped at the broken limbs on the ground. He dodged the attack of the octopus and with one slash of the knife, the broken limbs seemed to realize that they were going to die, and finally stopped pretending, crawling in one direction like a snake, trying to escape.
But Zhao Xian did not give them a chance. With a few slashes, the long tentacles broke into several small pieces. Now they were so short that they could not even wrap around a chicken, let alone a person. They had directly lost their combat effectiveness.
Zhao Xian raised the pistol again and aimed it at the top of the octopus's head, the position that Qiao Xuejun mentioned.
"Bang!"
Only one shot was fired, and it accurately hit the spot 20 centimeters above the muzzle of the gun that Qiao Xuejun mentioned as the first shot.
The octopus's movements immediately slowed down, and it trembled all over, making a miserable and indistinct howl. This time, a large amount of blue blood gushed out, dyeing the entire octopus blue.
it works!
Zhao Xian's eyes sharpened and he fired another shot at the same location.
Qiao Xuejun saw that the shot he fired was exactly the same as the previous one, without any deviation at all.
The octopus was still moving, but I was able to hit the same position. My accuracy was really good.
After this shot, the octopus bled even more. It retracted all its tentacles that were originally attacking Zhao Xian. It trembled all over and covered the wound on its head, as if trying to stop the bleeding.
From time to time, some mournful cries were heard.
Soon, it crawled forward, but it staggered and could not stand up. Finally, it fell to the ground, its huge body lying on the ground, twitching all over.
In addition to gunshot wounds and knife wounds, there was not a single intact place on his body.
Zhao Xian almost chopped it into pieces like grilled squid.

"Host, an important figure, Lord Zhao Xian, has been detected. His favorability has increased by 2 points."
Shen Xingtang heard his system say.
Shen Xingtang's eyes lit up: "It really works! It must be my concern for him just now that made him feel a little better."
Although it only increased by two points, it is still a significant improvement. After all, it was already a negative number before.
"How much do you think Zhao Xian likes me now?"
System: "After checking, the current favorability of the great lord towards you is -10."
Shen Xingtang's expression froze: "What?"
She was a little anxious: "Didn't it just go up by two points? Why didn't the total change? Is there a bug?"
It’s still a negative number, the same minus 10 as before.
System: "Host, please wait a moment. We are looking into the reason...Host, after checking, the previous increase of 2 points is true, but the target of the increase seems not to be you, but Qiao Xuejun."
Shen Xingtang: "What? Say it again? The target of gaining favor is not me, but that guy named Qiao?" She looked incredulous.
The system continued, "Perhaps because we are all system carriers, I can detect the changes in the target's favorability towards you two system carriers. The two points just now were indeed increased for Qiao Xuejun."
The corner of Shen Xingtang's mouth twitched: "Then I'll leave?"
System: "Host, it is not recommended to give up. The favorability resource of the great lord is very important."
