But the octopus monster kept swaying its body, and it dodged most of the crossbow bolts, with only a few grazing its skin.
Hua Nianci calmly searched for the best opportunity to shoot, when one of the octopus monster's eyes came into her view.
She quickly fired the crossbow bolt, but unfortunately, it struck just as it was about to hit its target.
The octopus monster abruptly closed its eyes; the crossbow bolt had only left a shallow scratch on its eyelid.
Seeing that their attacks were not yielding good results, Wang Fan shouted anxiously, "Everyone, don't stop! Keep attacking and find its weakness! I'll go draw its fire!"
Just then, the octopus monster was enraged.
It wildly waved its tentacles and launched an even more ferocious attack on the group.
Without hesitation, Wang Fan charged toward the octopus monster, and one of its tentacles instantly attacked him.
Wang Fan nimbly dodged to the side, while simultaneously thrusting his trident at the tentacles.
However, this attack did not cause much damage to the enormous octopus monster; instead, it enraged it even more.
The octopus monster writhed wildly, its multiple tentacles attacking Wang Fan simultaneously with lightning speed.
It seemed to be roaring angrily: "You ignorant little insect, how dare you challenge my majesty!"
Wang Fan's pupils contracted instantly as he faced the overwhelming tentacles.
He felt unprecedented pressure just as a tentacle was about to strike him.
Wang Fan unleashed all his strength and used his trident to block the attack.
But the moment the tentacles collided with the trident, a tremendous force emanated from the tentacles.
Wang Fan's arms went numb from the shock.
"This power... is actually not much different from mine!" Wang Fan was shocked.
It should be noted that Wang Fan's strength is as high as 150 points, which is enough to deal with all kinds of powerful enemies on a normal day.
But in front of this octopus monster, they were so utterly helpless.
The octopus monster's tentacles swept across again, accompanied by a whooshing sound.
Wang Fan gritted his teeth and used all his strength to hold the trident horizontally in front of him to block.
With a loud "bang," Wang Fan was knocked back several steps, leaving deep footprints on the boat planks beneath his feet.
Seeing this, everyone turned to look at Wang Fan.
"Wang Fan! Are you alright?" Everyone exclaimed in unison, their eyes filled with concern.
Wang Fan rubbed his numb arm and said, "I'm fine, everyone, don't get distracted, keep fighting..."
Before he could finish speaking, another tentacle slammed down on his head.
At this critical moment, the sand sculpture suddenly swooped down from the sky.
It used its sharp claws to fiercely grab at the tentacle.
The octopus monster felt pain, and its tentacles paused slightly.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Wang Fan steadied himself and swung his trident at the tentacles once more.
At the same time, everyone started to harass them.
Su Yaqi noticed that the octopus monster's eyes would pause briefly when they were moving frequently.
She seized the opportunity and fired her crossbow in quick succession.
An arrow finally pierced one of the octopus monster's eyes.
Red liquid spurted out immediately, and the octopus monster let out a painful roar.
Su Yalin noticed that when the octopus monster attacked, the suckers on its abdomen would rhythmically contract and relax.
She used her crossbow to attack the suckers, which did not cause much damage, but it did slow down the octopus monster's movements slightly.
Qin Xiaoxuan and Hua Nianci worked together to attract the attention of the octopus monster's tentacles.
The other one took the opportunity to attack the soft parts where its tentacles connected to its body, and each attack made the octopus monster move more slowly.
Little Black seized the opportunity and bit down hard on one of the octopus monster's tentacles.
No matter how much the octopus monster thrashed about, it wouldn't let go.
Seeing this, Wang Fan loudly praised, "Well done, everyone! Keep up this pace!"
Encouraged by the effectiveness of their attack, the group intensified their assault.
Taking advantage of the octopus monster being held back by Xiao Hei, Wang Fan raised his trident again and stabbed it fiercely at the octopus monster's injured tentacle.
This time, the trident pierced deep into the tentacles, and black blood gushed out.
The octopus monster writhed wildly in pain, trying to break free from Xiao Hei and Wang Fan's attacks.
But no one would give it a chance; Su Yaqi and Su Yalin kept shooting their crossbows at the octopus monster's eyes.
Qin Xiaoxuan and Hua Nianci then focused their attacks on its other tentacles.
With everyone working together, the octopus monster's tentacles were severely damaged one by one.
Its strength gradually weakened, and its movements became sluggish.
Wang Fan shouted, "Let's kill it in one fell swoop!"
The crowd responded in unison, launching a final, even more ferocious attack on the octopus monster.
Finally, the octopus monster let out a desperate roar.
The massive body fell heavily to the ground, splashing blood everywhere.
"We did it! We killed it!" Su Yalin jumped up excitedly, her face beaming with the joy of surviving a disaster.
Su Yaqi was also moved to tears: "That's great, we did it!"
Qin Xiaoxuan and Hua Nianci collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, but with relieved smiles on their faces.
Wang Fan walked over to Xiao Hei and gently patted its head: "Xiao Hei, well done!"
Little Black released its grip and wagged its tail happily.
Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of victory.
Suddenly, a sharp cry rang out from the sand sculpture in the sky.
Everyone was startled and looked in the direction indicated by the sand sculpture in the sky.
Suddenly, a group of enormous black shadows appeared on the distant sea surface; even more octopus monsters were swimming rapidly toward them.
"How come there are still some?" Su Yaqi's smile froze instantly.
Su Yalin's face turned deathly pale: "What are we going to do? We were exhausted from that battle just now."
Qin Xiaoxuan gritted her teeth: "What's there to be afraid of? At worst, we'll fight them!"
Hua Nianci frowned: "But in our current state, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with so many."
Wang Fan took a deep breath and tried to remain calm, saying, "Everyone, don't panic. Let's see if we can find a way to avoid them first."
Just as everyone was racking their brains, Wang Fan had a sudden inspiration.
He suddenly remembered the Swiftness Talisman he had obtained during his last adventure.
That speed-boosting talisman can increase a ship's speed tenfold.
"I've got an idea!" Wang Fan shouted excitedly. "I still have the Swiftness Talisman we got last time. Maybe we can use it to get our ship away quickly!"
Hope was rekindled in everyone's eyes.
Wang Fan quickly took out a Swift Travel Talisman from his pocket, muttered incantations, and affixed it to the hull of the boat.
Instantly, a mysterious force enveloped the ship, and the hull began to tremble violently.
"Everyone hold on tight, we need to speed things up!" Wang Fan shouted a reminder.
The ship sped across the sea like an arrow released from a bow.
