Lin Xiaoman sighed deeply because of the demon-sealing device that was nowhere to be found, while on the shore, the battle was still going on.
Shao Qi dodged those large tentacles nimbly, occasionally cutting one off with a sword.
Unfortunately, the octopus monster has too many tentacles.
It was obviously useless to just cut the tentacles. Shao Qi tried to let the scorpion pull it up. As a fellow monster, the scorpion was obviously not welcomed by the octopus monster. It might also be that it was not in the octopus monster's food range. The tentacles would avoid the scorpion, and even if they pulled it up, they would not actively wrap around the scorpion.
If the mountain doesn't come to me, I will go to the mountain.
Under Shao Qi's command, the scorpion raised its tail, poked it a few times, and successfully poked a tentacle. After the tail poked it, the scorpion immediately bit it with its mouthparts, and then began to pull the octopus monster up with all its strength. Unfortunately, the tentacle broke, and the octopus monster obviously realized that the person on the shore was a tough guy and not easy to deal with, so the tentacles all retracted.
Lin Xiaoman's surveillance video clearly showed that a large number of tentacles, more than a hundred in number, simply retracted, and the octopus monster curled up into a fluffy ball, then rolled deeper into the bottom of the lake. After rolling about three or four hundred meters, the big ball of fluff stopped. It was not known whether it was resting or sleeping, but there was no movement.
Well, this is the monster who bullies the weak and fears the strong.
Shao Qi tried to get the scorpion into the water by the lake, but once in the water, the scorpion suddenly turned into ashes, not to mention its fighting power, and it almost drowned.
As for Shao Qi himself, it was even more impossible for him to go underwater alone. Even if he did, the underwater environment would be like a dead end for him, and he could only continue to observe by the lake.
After observing for another quarter of an hour, the octopus monster still did not move. Lin Xiaoman called Long Jiujiu and asked him to call Shao Qi back.
After Shao Qi returned, Lin Xiaoman began sharing information. "The octopus monster's location is at 3 o'clock, about 550 meters from the lakeshore, and the water depth is about 18 meters. Excluding its tentacles, the octopus monster is about 10 meters long, with no fewer than a hundred tentacles. Its tentacles are like rubber bands; they can be stretched to a length of at least 300 meters."
Lin Xiaoman explained what he had observed with the help of the little Shadow Demon Scout, and then added, "It's a physical monster, and its strength should be lower than that of the Scorpion."
Long Jiujiu scratched his head and said in distress, "But it's hiding at the bottom of the lake, so it's hard to catch! It's such a big lake, we can't drain it dry, right?"
Shao Qi looked towards Lake Anna, his eyes a little troubled, "It's really not easy to deal with."
"How about we poison it to death?" Lin Xiaoman suggested.
"Poisoning the entire lake? That would be a huge undertaking!" Long Jiujiu smacked his lips and said disdainfully, "You're even more fanciful than I am."
"No, I mean, poison its food!"
"Use the little shadow demon to deliver food?" Shao Qi understood it all at once.
"Right, right. Let's find the administrator of Yalte and ask him for some death row prisoners, or ask if there are any bandit dens nearby. We can go and take them down and recruit some followers. Then I'll feed them some slow-acting poison. What do you think?"
"That's a good idea, but I'm not sure if the poison will work." Long Jiujiu nodded, then offered an idea. "But we still need to be prepared. What do you think of a fishing net? The little shadow demon can pinpoint the octopus's location. We can just throw the net down and have the scorpion pull it up?"
"Instead of using a fishing net, it's better to use the little shadow demon to fish directly." Shao Qi said.
"Oh, fishing? Why didn't I think of that?" Long Jiujiu clapped his head and agreed. "Right, right, right, let's catch it."
"Then use my big sword to hook the fish?" Lin Xiaoman's mind also changed.
"Why don't you try it now? You have a lot of younger brothers anyway!" Long Jiujiu said impatiently.
"Uh... okay then."
Now that they had an idea, they knew that action was better than planning, so the trio took decisive action.
Long Jiujiu took the two of them to search the nearby uninhabited villages and found the hemp rope for fishing.
Lin Xiaoman picked out the younger brother who ate the most, gave him a sword, and assigned him the glorious suicide squad mission.
Well, essentially, the body is dead, but the incorporeal little shadow demon cannot die, so there is no such thing as sacrifice.
After tying him up tightly, the other end of the hemp rope was tied to the maximized scorpion. After trying it, everything was ready and it was time to take action.
The bait went to the lake.
Perhaps because Shao Qi and the scorpion had frightened it, the octopus monster was so frightened that it curled up into a ball of fur and lay motionless deep at the bottom of the lake.
After waiting and waiting, until Lin Xiaoman had almost given up hope on the 'fishing' operation, the fluffy ball started to move!
The tentacles spread out and the octopus monster moved. It began to paddle in the water and slowly moved towards the direction of the 'bait'!
"Here it comes, it's coming!" Lin Xiaoman reminded in a low voice.
"I understand." Shao Qi responded in the same low voice.
From his original relaxed state to a tense state, Lin Xiaoman carefully checked the surveillance. Under the surveillance, the octopus monster was getting closer and closer. Finally, when it was about 100 meters away from the shore, its tentacles were like a taut bow, and they were like arrows on a string.
In a few seconds, the arrow was shot out with the sound of breaking through the water.
The 'bait' on the shore was immediately caught by a tentacle and dragged into the water without even struggling, and then there was the big black mouth.
Lin Xiaoman became even more nervous now.
The fishhook stuck before death! The most crucial step!
Lin Xiaoman only saw the cold metallic light of the big sword flashing, and then the surveillance screen went black. Then it turned into a spherical surveillance. He looked for the location of the big sword. In a mass of light red soft flesh, Lin Xiaoman guessed that the sword was stuck.
So, "Pull!"
As soon as Lin Xiaoman made a move, Shao Qi immediately commanded the scorpion to move. The scorpion, which had maximized its ultimate size, climbed up at the fastest speed with the rope.
Within the monitoring range, the octopus monster was dragged towards the lake. Sensing something unusual, its tentacles went straight into the mud at the bottom of the lake, trying to stabilize itself by taking root.
The octopus monster and the scorpion started a tug-of-war of strength. In the end, the scorpion won the victory in strength. After a stalemate of about two minutes, the octopus monster was pulled out like a carrot, and more than a dozen tentacles were broken.
Seeing the octopus monster getting closer and closer to the lakeshore, Shao Qi and Long Jiujiu were already on the lakeshore, ready for battle. However, just as the octopus monster was about to be pulled out of the water, the surveillance footage blurred, and Lin Xiaoman seemed to see something burst out of the octopus monster's body, swishing across the lake, and then disappearing from her surveillance range...
