The other players watched in horror as Zhou Zhou and Elvia were swallowed by the giant monster without even having time to struggle.
How could this be a little octopus!
The giant octopus ate the two people neatly without even chewing, and then its huge eyeballs suddenly looked at the other players.
Realizing that the monsters might still want to eat them, the players hiding in various places had their hearts beating rapidly, but they didn't even dare to breathe.
Although I know that I won’t really die if I’m eaten, I will only be eliminated from the copy, but who can lie still and be eaten after seeing such a huge and terrifying monster? I’ll run quickly!
The players turned and ran, with the huge bright red tentacle chasing after them.
Because the players were hiding in different places, they also fled to different places. They originally thought that by fleeing in different places, they would at least allow the monster to split itself without any flaws. But the monster was an octopus, and it sent several tentacles rushing towards players in different directions at the same time.
The player with only two legs naturally could not compare with the giant octopus's tentacles that were several meters long, and was caught up in almost the blink of an eye.
This time the octopus rolled up three or four people at the same time, and its tentacles covered with suction cups lifted up the struggling people like small toys.
Then stuff them into your mouth one by one.
The screams and cries for help of these people before they died were still echoing in my ears, but the people had already disappeared into the giant octopus's mouth.
The monster had no intention of stopping, and its tentacles intertwined and twisted forward, moving towards the remaining players.
The huge tentacles rushed towards the players again. One of the players took out the particle cannon again, wanting to use it to shoot the monster, but the tentacles of the giant octopus were too fast and instantly rolled up the player along with the particle cannon on his shoulder. Before the player could open his mouth to ask for help from others, he was eaten in one bite.
As if addicted to eating, the players seemed to have become an appetizer in the eyes of the monsters, who ate them happily one bite at a time.
There were fewer and fewer players left, and even the players hiding in other caves in the grotto were dug out and eaten by the octopus's flexible tentacles.
Finally, there were only two players left, and they ran in the direction they came from.
Compared with the size of the octopus, this cave is obviously much smaller, and the road is also very long. Even if the monster's tentacles can reach into the cave, they cannot extend to such a long distance.
The two men didn't dare to look back and kept running forward, and soon reached the place where they went ashore. Their movements startled the gray-black fish in the sea water. These fish opened their mouths and spit out bubbles, then immediately dived back into the sea.
"This distance should be enough." There was no road ahead, only a water source in the stone cave connected to the seabed.
One of the players looked around vigilantly with the help of the crystal's light source: "That octopus is so big, there is no way it could have come in from here."
This cave, together with the grotto, is no more than three meters high, and the octopus cannot enter at all due to its size.
They should be safe for now.
I really didn't expect the ending of the copy would be like this. Not only did they fail to find an escape route, but even their other companions were eaten by monsters.
There is a man-eating monster behind them and sea water that depletes health points in front of them. The remaining two players are in a dilemma.
I originally thought that I could buy some time here, but suddenly there was a noise behind me, and the rustling sound caused by friction with the ground appeared again.
Their hearts skipped a beat and they looked back at the same time, only to find that the monster had actually come in from the cave!
Compared to the size of the monster, the cave was obviously very small.
But the octopus is a mollusk, and it actually curled itself up into a ball, now stuck at the entrance of the cave and trying to squeeze inside.
First came a tentacle, then the second, the third...
When the octopus retracted itself sideways and continued to wriggle forward, both players knew they were doomed.
The two had to choose between being eaten by the monster and entering the sea and having their health reduced to zero. Both of them chose the latter and jumped into the sea together.
Leaving the light source range of the crystal, the sea seemed even deeper and quieter. There was no time, and no courage, to take out lighting tools. The two swam deeper based on their previous memories. When they swam to the bottom, there was a straight road, and then they could leave the underwater cave.
But they didn't notice that a large black object was moving rapidly towards them.
It was too dark in the sea to see anything, and both of them moved forward in the dark. Although they could not see anything, the feeling of being followed by a shadow was too obvious, as if the monster would appear before their eyes in the next second.
Both of them swam faster.
In the darkness, a tentacle flashed quickly in the sea. The two men obviously forgot that compared to land, the sea is the most perfect hunting ground for the monster octopus.
When they were rolled up by the tentacles, the two men looked terrified and struggled constantly. One of them was so panicked that he subconsciously took a breath, and sea water instantly flowed in through his mouth and nose. The player was choked by the water and couldn't help coughing, which triggered a new round of vicious cycle.
The octopus grabbed the two people accurately and ate them in one bite.
At this point, all the players who came to the underwater cave were swallowed by the giant octopus, leaving no one behind.
“Ahem…”
The player finally breathed in air, his chest felt like it was about to explode, and he coughed continuously.
Another player grabbed his clothes to prevent him from choking on water when coughing. He looked at the lake around him in confusion, unable to figure out what was going on.
Weren't they eaten by monsters? How did you get on the water again?
Is this inside the monster's body? Or have they been eliminated and reached the resurrection point?
The player's head is full of question marks. Fortunately, there is someone with him now, otherwise he might wonder if he has traveled through time.
"Hey~~ What are you doing in the water? Come up quickly."
Someone was talking not far away. The player looked towards the source of the sound blankly, and then his eyes suddenly widened.
The players who were eaten by the monster were all on the shore!
He immediately swam towards there, and did not forget to take the player who was choked by the sea water with him to swim to the shore.
"Why are you so slow? We thought you two died halfway and you wouldn't be here." As they got closer and closer to the shore, a player on the shore shouted at the two.
At this time, the player who had choked on water finally recovered a little. Seeing the people on the shore, his eyes were full of doubts: "Are we all at the same resurrection point?"
“Hahahaha~”
The others were amused by his words.
"You haven't reacted yet? We have successfully passed the level!" The players on the shore said while laughing. Their clothes were still wet, but their brows were full of ease and joy, and their voices were very cheerful.
“Completed the level? But we…” The player still didn’t understand what was going on. Weren’t they all eaten by monsters?
The person on the shore reached out and pulled the two of them up, explaining, "The octopus's mouth is the escape hatch. The moment we were eaten by it, we were teleported directly to Colt Lake, and we successfully passed the level!"
"Cleared the level? You mean we all cleared it?" Coming out of the water, the player opened his eyes wide in surprise and couldn't help asking.
"Hahaha, you'll know if you look at your task panel."
The two people immediately opened their task panels.
"Fifty thousand! I actually settled fifty thousand this time!" one of the players exclaimed.
"I have 48,000 points! How can it be so high! My mental strength has also increased by 5 points!" Another player was also very surprised.
"Our points are very high this time. I guess it may have something to do with the difficulty of the dungeon." Of the dozen or so players present, except for a small number who remained calm, the others were all delighted. Such high points were enough to buy several resurrection items, and there were even points left to buy other items. If there weren't so many people, they would really want to jump around on the spot.
Zhou Zhou stood in the crowd, and was very happy to see that everyone was there. Moreover, his points this time were 300,000, which was higher than others and also the highest points he had ever had in recent times.
However, there was no change in other values. Originally, he only cared about the increase in points. Later, he found out that the other values on the task panel during settlement were all related to mental power.
Mental power is also a value that everyone in the outside world attaches great importance to, but until now his mental power has always been zero and has never changed.
The players were communicating happily and adding each other's contact information. Although they encountered a few people with bad luck in the early stage of this dungeon, everyone got along very well afterwards and could still do the dungeon together when they have time.
Doreen was also one of the first few people to come out. She found that after the octopus swallowed Zhou Zhou and the other person, their breath disappeared instantly. She guessed that there might be other mysteries in the octopus's mouth, so she did not resist the octopus's attack at all and was successfully teleported out.
This time she had more than 100,000 points, and she was able to successfully pass this copy because of the existence of a certain person.
Duolin walked through the crowd and came to Zhou Zhou. Although she had just swam out of the water like everyone else, she did not look embarrassed at all. Her long hair fell on one shoulder, which made her look more graceful. "Didn't you say you wanted to add me as a friend?"
Amid the envious looks of other players, Zhou Zhou and Duolin added each other as friends.
The beautiful female player glanced at Elvia who had been standing next to Zhou Zhou, looked at Zhou Zhou again, smiled and said that they would keep in touch in the future, and then logged off neatly.
Other players who were eager to get Gadoulin's contact information could only secretly hate themselves for being too slow.
Among the dozen or so players present, there were two women. They were companions who entered the dungeon together. At this time, the two of them walked up to Zhou Zhou together.
One of them is gentle and quiet, the other is lively and agile. It is really pleasing to the eye when they stand together hand in hand.
"We didn't have time to thank you for lending us clothes in the dungeon. We'll transfer the points from the clothes to you." Both of them were wearing hoodies that Zhou Zhou gave to female players in the dungeon. The clothes were loose for Zhou Zhou, but they looked even bigger on these two girls of medium height.
"No need. The clothes don't really fit you in the first place. You can just wear them for emergency. Please transfer the points from the clothes to me. I'm embarrassed to accept them."
Zhou Zhou quickly waved his hands to refuse. He was the one who wanted to give the clothes to everyone in the first place, and he had never thought of asking them to take them back, let alone asking them to use their points to buy the clothes. He would feel embarrassed if he took their points now.
The two girls looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
"Since you helped us and lent us clothes, we would feel embarrassed not to give us points." One of the players with bright eyes said jokingly.
"Ah?" Zhou Zhou didn't expect this, but when he thought about it, it was true. If he was helped by others, he would also think about doing something to repay the other party. Thinking of this, he subconsciously glanced at Al beside him.
"How about this, we add each other as friends, you transfer your points to me, and then I'll treat you to a meal, then we'll be even." Zhou Zhou suggested.
The two girls were overjoyed: "Great, we were planning to get your contact information anyway, and now we get a meal for free."
While adding the two girls as friends, Zhou Zhou said, "It's okay. I don't like eating alone. It's more lively when we eat together. So I'm still getting the advantage."
"Well, we have a few sisters. Can we come together? We can't let you pay alone. How about we pay for it ourselves?"
"Of course."
The girl with a gentle face smiled with her eyebrows curved, and the other girl also smiled brightly, with two obvious dimples.
The male players who were originally adding each other's contact information looked at Zhou Zhou, then at the two female players who were amused. The expressions on their faces were confused with a hint of enlightenment, and admiration with a little shock.
No, the purpose was clearly to transfer clothing points to Zhou Zhou, so why did it end up being a social gathering for just him? This is so amazing, Zhou Zhou, you turn out to be this kind of Zhou Zhou!
After adding the two female players as friends, they transferred their points to Zhou Zhou, who received them neatly. After agreeing to discuss the time and place for the gathering later, the two female players also left.
They didn't add anyone else's contact information either.
The male players looked at the backs of the two people leaving, and their eyes slowly shifted to the last female player present.
Shirley realized belatedly that many people were looking at her, and said fiercely, "What are you looking at?"
Male player: “…”
I don’t know why, but at this moment I suddenly felt like I had lost.
"Well, let's just continue playing our own game." said a male player.
The others agreed immediately. They had not yet finished adding other people's contact information. It was not known whether it was self-consolation or self-hypnosis, but the male players looked very happy as they added other people's contact information while chatting.
"Oh, it's such a pity for Jiang. If he had more health points, he could have finished the game with us." A player said while adding other people's contact information, "I don't even know how to contact him."
"Hello~Hello~." Suddenly, a man got off a flying vehicle not far from them. After getting off, he ran towards here while waving his hands.
"What is that?"
The players looked confused, but soon recognized the face as it got closer.
"Ajiang!"
"Where did you come from? Aren't you dead?"
Several players who were familiar with Ajiang happily rushed over, and their extremely unbalanced mood just now disappeared.
"Haha, I ran here immediately after I was resurrected at the resurrection point, fearing that you would leave directly after clearing the level."
Although Ajiang did not successfully pass the level, he was hanging out with other players in the dungeon, chatting and looking for clues, and they had a very good relationship. It was not possible to add friends in the dungeon, and he did not tell the other party his ID, so he could only wait by the lake. In the end, everyone came out so quickly, luckily I made it in time.
"We thought you would become a ghost after you died, but we never saw one."
Ah Jiang laughed, "It's my first time dying too. It turns out that after I die, I have an option to turn into a ghost. If I choose to scare other players or eliminate them, I can get corresponding points. It's not much, but it's better than nothing. I can also watch how other players passed the level through videos. We have such a good relationship, how could I turn into a ghost to scare you? Of course I chose to refuse. Tell me how you passed the level."
The player who had the best relationship with A Jiang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, you know how perverted the first part of this dungeon is, but do you know? The way to clear the dungeon at the end is even more perverted! I have never seen such a perverted dungeon."
The players called it perverted one after another with a very indignant tone. If Zhou Zhou hadn't been there, he felt that no one could pass this copy. So who on earth created this perverted copy?
“Ahem!”
"You know what? After we entered the cave..."
“Cough cough cough!”
The two were talking about what happened after entering the cave. An old fisherman wearing a wide-brimmed straw hat by the Colt Lake started coughing hard, and his voice became louder and louder.
There are many players near Colt Lake, some are fishing or just strolling around. The uncle who was fishing started coughing louder and louder, attracting the attention of several people.
"Are you okay?" Zhou Zhou was still by the lake. He was adding contact information to other players. When he heard the uncle coughing, he asked with concern.
But after seeing the other person's appearance, Zhou Zhou blinked, pointed at him and said, "Ah! You are the one who sells boats."
Before entering the dungeon, they followed the map to go to the center of Colt Lake. They bought two small boats, each costing 1,000 points. At that time, they complained that the boats were too expensive.
As a result, the ship was destroyed after entering the copy.
It was this man in the straw hat who was selling boats by the lake at that time.
The boat-selling uncle put away his fishing rod, held the fishing rod in one hand and carried a bucket in the other hand and walked towards Zhou Zhou and the others. His straw hat covered half of his face, and only the big beard on the lower half of his face could be seen.
The player who was still telling Ajiang what happened after the perverted copy had obviously been holding a grudge for a long time, calling him a non-human and a pervert one after another.
The bearded man stood behind the two men and said awkwardly, "Well, the thing in the deep sea is a copy of my design."
This sentence shocked everyone present. What did he mean by a copy he designed?
The bearded man took off his straw hat. Zhou Zhou looked at his face in confusion: "Captain?"
This face is exactly the skeleton captain on the ghost ship in the Deep Sea Objects copy.
Some players instantly recalled the dead bodies floating in the blue sea. The captain was one of the people who impressed them the most. After all, not everyone has a big beard. The captain, who looked weathered and rough, had a pale face, wide eyes, and a dead look full of resentment. He was more distinctive than others and was engraved in their minds almost at a glance.
Several people couldn't help but step back, feeling that the captain appearing outside the copy was really weird.
Could it be that what they saw was the captain's soul? Or are they still in the dungeon and what they are seeing now are just scenes they imagined?
The players were in a daze, not knowing where they were.
Zhou Zhou had no doubts about this. He saw a familiar little octopus crawling out of the bucket carried by the captain.
