The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2261: Let's try to break through from the inside?

The enormous tentacles retracted beneath the water's surface, and the turbulent waters gradually returned to calm.

Everyone was suspended in mid-air, looking at the water below with solemn expressions, especially Qi Wuchang, whose face was even more unsightly.

He reached out and grabbed the still trembling and twisting tentacle, pulled it out, and casually threw it away. The next second, the tentacle was crushed into dust by an invisible force.

Qi Wuchang looked at his wound. The surrounding muscles were as withered as if they had lost their life force, like dead wood. It was clear that if Qi Wuchang hadn't reacted quickly and severed the tentacle that broke his shoulder, his life force would have been devoured.

"What kind of magical beast is this? It's so powerful that even the three of us combined can't defeat it?"

Zhong Shuyu's gaze was grave, and he was still shaken: "Although we could hurt it, it's too big. The damage we inflicted on it was negligible..."

Su Yanran said in a deep voice, "Its body is covered in black demonic energy, which greatly neutralizes our attacks. Even supernatural methods are unlikely to cause fatal damage to it. In addition, the water is also problematic..."

Zhong Shuyu agreed, "Yes, I noticed that too. It's extremely difficult to open a domain underwater, at least several times more difficult than in the air. The power of the supernatural ability is also greatly reduced as a result. This water seems to be full of demonic energy."

After a pause, Zhong Shuyu turned to look at the other two, his tone seemingly hesitant: "Have you all seen it clearly?"

Qi Wuchang and Su Yanran exchanged a glance, their expressions hesitant, but they both nodded in the end.

Zhong Shuyu asked, "What do we do now? That seems to be the octopus's home. It's very cautious and doesn't want to leave its territory or the water. If we go down there, we can't avoid it."

Qi Wuchang said coldly, "Kill it!"

Qi Wuchang was injured by the octopus and harbored a deep hatred for it, so he declared without hesitation that he would take the octopus's life.

Su Yanran frowned and said, "We also want to kill it, but we can't kill it at all in the water. It doesn't leave the water's surface either, so we don't have the upper hand. Besides, I think this octopus is different from those completely mindless magical beasts; it's very cunning..."

Qi Wuchang nodded: "Indeed, it captured three people, but it didn't rush to eat them or drain their life force. Instead, it was teasing them. I even suspect it did this on purpose, to make them call for help..."

After listening for a while, Lin Chen couldn't help but interject, "What's down there?"

Qi Wuchang hesitated for a moment before finally speaking, "There's a man-made structure. Although we haven't seen the whole thing, it must have been inhabited by powerful cultivators. We want to investigate what's going on with this structure, or perhaps see if there's anything left behind." "This octopus is clearly different from the magical beasts we've encountered before, and this underwater structure seems to be its nest. I'm wondering if there's something inside that makes it so powerful, yet not completely insane, and so cunning."

Lin Chen thought for a moment: "Its body is covered in demonic energy, so it's difficult to harm it?"

Su Yanran looked distressed: "Yes, this water is filled with endless demonic energy, making it perfect for its survival and combat. On the contrary, our strength is severely limited..."

Lin Chen pondered for a few seconds: "How about we try to break through from the inside?"

Su Yanran's eyes widened: "What kind of internal attack method?"

Lin Chen replied, "This octopus must have expended a lot of energy after fighting you all today, or it must be very hungry. It will definitely hunt for food. Let's catch some prey and throw it into the water. Perhaps it will hunt them. We can put some powerful explosive artifacts inside the prey. After the octopus swallows the prey, the artifacts will explode from inside its body..."

Everyone's eyes lit up immediately.

Zhong Shuyu's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea. There's no need to fight it at all. No matter how strong its external defenses are, it absolutely can't withstand an explosion inside its belly."

Qi Wuchang and Su Yanran exchanged a glance and decided to give it a try. Although the other party might not take the bait, the plan itself did not require any sacrifice.

"Then give it a try."

Qi Wuchang made a decision: "I have the Fire God Thunder Pearl here, which is quite powerful. We can give it a try."

Zhong Shuyu also spoke up, "I have Extreme Water Yin Thunder here, which can also be placed together."

Su Yanran suggested, "That guy is tough and thick-skinned. Let's put in more. Even if he doesn't eat it, as long as it explodes near him, it will definitely inflict huge damage on him when he's caught off guard. As long as he's injured, even if he doesn't die, the three of us working together should be able to kill him or drive him away so we can complete the next part of our exploration."

Everyone agreed: "Okay, let's do it!"
