Chapter 187 The Curse of the Tentacle Monster
The red tentacle monster was still frantically pounding the ground, a far cry from its previous death-like appearance.
Meng Qingyin also had her own guesses.
perhaps……
The red tentacle monster was originally just sleeping, but she accidentally broke off one of its tentacles, so it woke up and entered "berserk mode".
The more I think about it, the more reasonable this guess seems, but we'll have to wait until we encounter the next red tentacle monster to verify it.
The immediate priority is to deal with this berserk tentacle monster.
It was fast and powerful, and immune to heavy blade damage, so Meng Qingyin couldn't get close at all.
But she also had a good plan.
The sleep-inducing grass we just picked, now it has a use!
Meng Qingyin took out the sleeping herb after placing a layer of tissue paper under her.
The Sleepy Grass has two oval leaves, and its description says that touching its leaves will cause one to fall asleep.
One sedative herb can be used twice.
Meng Qingyin plucked a leaf through a tissue and threw it into the attack range of the red tentacle monster.
The red tentacle monster slammed its hand down, instantly crushing the leaves of the Sleepy Grass.
Meanwhile, the red tentacle monster slumped softly onto the grass and fell asleep.
Meng Qingyin decided not to do it herself: "Little one, go and bite it out."
Without saying a word, the little one stepped forward and uprooted the red tentacle monster.
Meng Qingyin approached and heard the prompt.
[You have slain the berserk tentacle monster and received its curse!]
Meng Qingyin: "..."
What kind of dirt got on it!
She quickly opened her personal panel.
They discovered that their status had changed to a "cursed" state.
[Curse: You have slain the berserk tentacle monster and are now cursed! Your good luck has run out, and misfortune is ensnaring you! (This status lasts for half an hour)]
Misfortune strikes again?
This curse is indeed vicious.
Meng Qingyin thought to herself, it seems the red tentacle monster has two modes.
Uproot the red tentacle monster in its sleeping state, and you will receive its blessing.
If it is accidentally broken, it will turn into a berserk tentacle monster.
Killing the berserk tentacle monster will inflict a curse.
If that's the case, then as long as we don't kill the berserk tentacle monster, wouldn't that be fine?
Meng Qingyin was annoyed; she should have known better than to kill the berserk tentacle monster.
But then she thought, if she hadn't killed the berserk tentacle monster, she wouldn't have gotten such useful information.
It's fair to say it has both advantages and disadvantages.
As Meng Qingyin pondered this, she arrived at the car door.
She took a step, a path she had walked countless times and could walk without making a mistake even with her eyes closed, but she missed a step and fell straight to the ground.
Meng Qingyin rubbed her knees, on the verge of tears.
Did this string of misfortunes take effect so quickly?
The little one asked anxiously, "Master, are you alright? Where did you fall?"
Meng Qingyin stood up. "It's nothing."
She held onto the bicycle frame and carefully stepped onto the bicycle.
Be very careful for the next half hour!
Meng Qingyin thought to herself silently.
But she underestimated the power of a series of misfortunes.
While washing her hands, the faucet suddenly came loose and fell down, injuring her hand.
Reaching for the towel, my fingers accidentally bumped into the hard car body.
She dared not make any more moves and decided to stay obediently in the driver's seat.
Unexpectedly, when I sat down, the steering wheel hit my leg again, knocking the steering wheel off.
Little Ai couldn't help but ask, "Master, why do you always seem to be messing with the steering wheel?"
Meng Qingyin was helpless. It wasn't that she was against the steering wheel; it was that everything the steering wheel was doing was against her!
She messaged Lu Cheng for advice: "What do you do when you're down on your luck?"
I'm the Lucky One (Poor Man's Version): "Your question is a bit presumptuous. I may have bad luck, but it won't last forever!"
Mengmeng: "Yeah, I know. So what do you do when you're having a bad day?"
I am the Lucky One (Poor Man's Version): "..."
I am the lucky one (poor version): "Let me tell you this, when you're down on your luck, even drinking cold water will get stuck in your teeth."
I'm a lucky person (poor version): "Why are you suddenly asking this? Are you having a run of bad luck right now?"
Meng Qingyin told Lu Cheng about her encounter with the red tentacle monster.
Lu Cheng looked worried: "So how much force do we need to uproot this red tentacle monster? If we use too much force, it might break off, which would be troublesome. But if we use too little force, we won't be able to pull it out."
Mengmeng: "I don't know either, you'll have to figure it out yourself."
Thinking about it, Meng Qingyin posted the strategy guide for the red tentacle monster in the chat area, which aroused the curiosity of the players again.
She's a beauty, not a genius: "So there are red tentacle monsters too? Are there other colored tentacle monsters, and are the methods of killing them different?"
South Wind for 30,000 Miles: "A tentacle monster's blessing? What's that?"
Yan Yuanqing: "I find the design of this red tentacle monster quite interesting. So all you have to do is uproot it while it's asleep, right? The method of killing it is that simple?"
Ke Ai: "But if you accidentally break it, you'll have to get out of there quickly."
Maojiji: "But I don't think it's that easy to uproot it. It tests your control of the force. Even Mengmeng failed."
Yan Jin: "I encountered a red tentacle monster! Wait for my good news!"
Yan Jin: "Ahhh, I broke the tentacle monster off! It's turned into a berserk tentacle monster now!"
Du Yanheng of Huaqing Pool: "Then let's retreat quickly. Even if we kill the berserk tentacle monster, we won't get any rewards, and we'll be cursed."
Yan Jin: "I can't leave! It's telling me I have to kill the berserk tentacle monster to leave!"
Upon seeing this, Meng Qingyin narrowed her eyes.
Must we kill the berserk tentacle monster to leave?
It seems she'll have to be careful from now on.
Soon, she encountered a second red tentacle monster.
The tentacle monster lay on the grass, looking gentle and harmless, but Meng Qingyin knew that she, already plagued by misfortune, couldn't cause any more trouble.
She's already under a curse; if another one were to appear, it's unimaginable what would happen.
The little one pulled the red tentacle monster out by the roots twice in a row, I don’t know if it was a coincidence.
This time, let the little one go again.
The child was very happy to agree and said it was a piece of cake.
It easily uprooted the red tentacle monster, swishing its tail back and forth, and squinted its eyes, seeking praise: "Master, isn't your little one amazing?"
Meng Qingyin sincerely praised, "Amazing, even more amazing than me."
The little one chuckled and said, "Master, give me some chili powder!"
Meng Qingyin took out chili powder and sprinkled it on the tentacles.
The little one ate it all in one bite.
Meng Qingyin returned to the car, not in a hurry to open the two [Tentacle Monster's Blessing] she had just obtained.
Given her current string of bad luck, she's unlikely to get anything good from blind boxes.
I glanced at the "cursed" status; there were still a dozen minutes left.
She would open it again after the "curse" ended.
As Meng Qingyin was thinking this, someone sent her a message.
