Chapter 64 Massacre
During the half-hour break, Mingzhao drank a healing potion, restoring the health he had lost.
In this battle, she lost 20 points of sanity. She took out the calming music box and tried her best to restore her sanity.
Half an hour later, the light on the gate turned green, and Mingzhao entered the arena again.
Before she entered, a little sea lion rushed over, handed her a note, and then hurriedly left.
Mingzhao opened the note: [This time's opponent: Octopus Zhang Raorao. Zhang Raorao is a very cunning octopus who likes to use its suckers to strangle its opponents. Its opponent mortality rate is the highest among all enemies. Be extremely careful.]
She didn't know who had given her the note—one of Boss Hai's men, or a resident of the maritime trade group?
She was grateful to whoever it was; this news was extremely important to her.
Standing on the arena, a red octopus twice her size, with eight incredibly agile tentacles, emerged from the opposite side.
It had no weapons in its hands and seemed very confident in its own strength.
Mingzhao remembered the words on the note and dared not underestimate his enemy. He took out his pistol and fired a hail of bullets.
But this octopus had some kind of special ability; all the bullets were blocked by its tentacles.
The moment the bullet makes contact with the tentacle, it gets stuck in the suction cups on the tentacle's surface and is then ejected.
With ranged attacks proving ineffective, Mingzhao had no choice but to draw his longsword again.
Zhang Raorao has eight tentacles, but she only has one knife.
Even with Mingzhao's highly skilled swordsmanship, he was still slapped by the tentacles, leaving his body covered in wounds.
After drinking a bottle of healing potion, she realized that this couldn't go on; she had to find a way to stop the octopus's attacks.
Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of seashells in the sand out of the corner of her eye, and an idea popped into her head.
While desperately dealing with the attacks, Mingzhao searched for suitable-sized seashells on the ground, getting slapped by the octopus tentacles even more often.
Boos came from the audience again.
Stop picking up trash and fight back!
"What is this human doing? I bet 10 Ocean Coins on her!"
"Give me your money back!"
"Give me your money back!"
...
Mingzhao completely ignored the noise and picked up about ten seashells, which she felt was enough.
Shoot!
While Zhang Raorao used her tentacles to defend against the bullets, she threw all the seashells at once.
As expected, Zhang Raorao didn't react at all. While catching the bullet with the suction cup, she also caught all the seashells.
But this seashell was one that Mingzhao had carefully selected—a smooth and intact seashell.
The suction cups held them in place, creating a vacuum in the middle, making it impossible for them to pop out.
Zhang Raorao realized she had fallen into a trap, but Mingzhao didn't give her a chance to react.
He raised his long sword and stepped forward to engage in combat.
Zhang Raorao's tentacles were stuck to the shell, making her movement slippery and her attacks less smooth than before, significantly reducing her close-combat ability.
This gave Mingzhao a chance to catch his breath, allowing him to occasionally increase the distance and fire a shot.
Several of the most commonly used suction cups stopped working, and Zhang Raorao was unable to accurately block bullets every time, so she was quickly hit by several shots.
Realizing something was wrong, it suddenly shrank back and spat out a large amount of ink!
The arena went completely dark, and the audience began to curse.
Zhang Raorao also took this opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
Unfortunately, what it didn't know was that Mingzhao possessed the [Clear Vision] and the [Pupil of Insight].
At this moment, Zhang Raorao's movements were clearly visible to her, and because she had let her guard down, she had completely exposed her vital parts.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Mingzhao fired three shots directly at its vital points.
Zhang Raorao instantly lost the ability to move.
Mingzhao won again.
This time she lost even more blood; the places on her body where she was whipped by the octopus tentacles became red, swollen, and hot.
After drinking two bottles of blood-restoring medicine and taking an antidote pill, he gradually returned to normal.
Her rationality dropped by 30 points, and the calming music box couldn't restore that much rationality for her in half an hour.
Mingzhao's sanity is now down to 60 points, enough to fight two more opponents at most.
This time, the opponent was a sea turtle, which seemed very polite, much better than Zhang Raorao.
Its shell is meticulously maintained, with a glossy sheen and even color.
The moment the ocean dwellers in the stands saw it, their shouts almost shook the bioluminescent jellyfish in the sea above the arena down.
Mingzhao vaguely discerned from the voice that the sea turtle's name seemed to be Wowo.
Wowo exposed its belly to Mingzhao, a gesture of politeness from the sea turtle clan.
Mingzhao also bowed to it.
Wowo, being a gentleman, did not attack first, but waited for her to make the first move.
Facing the seemingly sturdy tortoise shell, Mingzhao had no idea that bullets could cause it any harm.
However, she still tried hitting it a few times.
Sure enough, the bullet hit WoWo and bounced off instantly, without even causing a scratch.
WoWo carefully examined its shell.
Then, it pushes off the ground with its hind feet, and retracts its head and legs completely into its shell.
The tortoise shell instantly transformed into a spinning top, rapidly flying towards Mingzhao!
Mingzhao repeatedly used the Lingbo Weibu footwork to dodge the attacks of the turtle shell spinning top.
The long sword kept knocking the tortoise shell away, but it couldn't cause any damage to it.
After being knocked away, the tortoise-shell top would always immediately adjust its posture and fly back towards her.
Mingzhao's hand, gripping the long sword, went numb from the shock, and his health bar plummeted, while Wowo's health bar remained perfectly still.
She realized that if things continued like this, she would be the first to die from exhaustion.
Gritting his teeth, Mingzhao took out the Thor's Battle Axe.
Thor's Battle Axe is the weapon she's least familiar with so far, but she has no other choice now.
The tortoise-shell top spun again and flew towards her.
Mingzhao raised his battle axe high, and as the tortoise shell struck her, he swung the axe down.
The WoWo is finally losing health!
However, given Mingzhao's skill level with the axe, he couldn't simultaneously attack and defend.
So it got hit squarely by the tortoise shell.
She lost far more blood than Wowo.
Despite the excruciating pain, Mingzhao drank another bottle of blood-replenishing medicine.
The more times it is used in a day, the less effective the blood-replenishing medicine will become.
She knew she couldn't delay any longer and had to act quickly.
Mingzhao gave up the only slashing skill she learned in "Skybreaker Thunder Axe: Beginner".
Instead, she chose the swinging and chopping skill, which she had only just begun to learn.
This skill requires the coordinated exertion of all the muscles in the body, and she has not yet fully mastered the technique of exerting force.
Before Mingzhao could even swing his axe in the next spinning attack, he was struck squarely in the abdomen by the turtle shell and sent flying.
She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, got up, and assumed the position again.
The next attack came just in time, and Mingzhao swung his sword.
However, he didn't control the direction of the force well, and the axe hit the edge of the tortoise shell, causing it to slide down.
As a result, he was knocked away again.
Soon, Mingzhao was covered in bruises, but each time, she endured the excruciating pain, got up, and showed no fear in her eyes, getting into an attacking stance again.
In the stands, all the spectators, including Wowo's fans, fell silent.
They stared intently at her.
At this moment, Mingzhao's eyes were covered with blood from when his forehead hit the wall.
But she didn't even wipe it.
In such a desperate situation, her potential was brought to its fullest potential.
After several failures, Mingzhao clearly felt that he had mastered the method of generating power for the swinging chop skill.
At this moment, all the noise and influence were irrelevant to her.
All she could see were the spinning tortoise shell and the axe in her hand.
