The End of the Extreme Dao: I Planted a Sacred Tree and Gained Immortality

Chapter 166: Level Octopus, Fragile, Desperate
The armored vehicle stopped in an alley near the research institute.

Scar King took the letter and slowly sensed it.

"It's a bit bad. I can't foresee anything."

Scar King deduced various ways of delivering the letter in his mind, but no matter which possibility he applied his ability to, Scar King's sixth sense always gave feedback of failure.

Black Panther thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Why don't you change the direction of your perception? Don't think about where the letter is placed so that it can be delivered. Instead, try to sense whether it would be dangerous if we go directly to the old dean."

This is a new angle!

Scar King then looked towards the research institute, concentrated his mind, and imagined that his next step would be to walk into the institute and tell the staff that he had an urgent matter to discuss with the old dean.

The sixth sense that had not been working for a long time took effect. Scar King suddenly opened his eyes, and his forehead was instantly covered with a layer of fine cold sweat.

"No, we can't just deliver the letter. If we walk into the research institute, we will die!"

Scar King took a deep breath, his eyes filled with doubt. This time, the sense of death his sixth sense gave back was too clear, which meant he was almost dead.

But, he was a level three infected person. Even if there was a problem in delivering the letter, why should the research institute kill him on the spot? Shouldn't they capture him and torture him slowly?
But Scar King's sixth sense told him that there was a high probability that he would die immediately after entering the research institute.

"Let's think about it another way. What if I take a hostage and force him to deliver the letter?"

Scar King closed his eyes, and quickly opened them again in horror. His sixth sense told him that this action would still result in death.

"The people in the Research Institute are so powerful. If Black Panther and I, two level 3 infected people, take action, we will be killed?"

Scar King hesitated for a moment, then his eyes fixed, he thought of something, and closed his eyes again.

"Oh no, we have to leave XN City!"

Scar King suddenly opened his eyes and shouted.

Just now, what he thought in his mind was to do nothing, but his sixth sense still told him that he would die.

This proves that the danger does not come from delivering the letter, but the danger lies in XN City.

Black Panther was stunned: "Brother, is your sixth sense really accurate?"

The tattooed man was different from Black Panther. Upon hearing Scar King's shout, he immediately got back into the car: "Stop talking nonsense, drive quickly. This time, drive as fast as you can."

boom!
It wasn't the sound of the motor starting, but the sound of XN City shaking.

The entire XN city seemed to be grasped tightly by an invisible giant hand. The originally clear blue sky suddenly darkened, and was replaced by a darkness as thick as ink.

The darkness pressed down heavily, as if to smash the earth to pieces.

"How is it possible that the situation changed in an instant?"

Black Panther glanced at Scar King, and his sixth sense really took effect!

call.

got windy.

Driven by the strong wind, the dark clouds rolled and surged wildly, like thousands of troops galloping and roaring in the sky. They squeezed and collided with each other, and dazzling lightning burst out from time to time, followed by deafening thunder, rumbling, and each sound made the earth tremble slightly.

The three of them raised their heads at the same time. They saw that the water purification plant that XN City had spent countless manpower and resources to build was like snowflakes thrown into the boiling wastewater and quickly melted away.

"This is……"

"The reservoir collapsed and the sewage spread!"

"Oh no! Monsters from the ocean are attacking the city!"

Scar King roared, he remembered the tragic situation in Lianhai City. When the level 4 monsters attacked Lianhai City, they also came riding on sewage and devoured countless lives in an instant.

Huge cracks appeared in the solid reservoir. These cracks were like ferocious mouths, ruthlessly devouring everything around them. Houses, trees, and roads collapsed and shattered as the cracks spread.

The mountains in the distance seemed to be pushed by a giant hand. Landslides continued, and large chunks of rocks rolled down with soil, raising a cloud of dust, and were then swallowed up by the rushing flood.

"It's over."

Scar King was somewhat desperate.

Lianhai City was built by the sea, and considering the problem of flooding, many canals were dug in the city.

But XN City is different. XN City is located inland and its water source is just an ordinary river. If there were no monsters wreaking havoc, such a tsunami-like flood would never occur.

Therefore, the city construction of XN City did not dredge the river, and the sewage would spread throughout the city.

"Everyone, don't panic. Stay calm. XN City cannot be destroyed by floods."

Countless patrol soldiers and escorts rushed onto the streets. In addition, a helicopter took off into the sky with its door open. A plump woman, half of her body in the cabin and half of her body outside, looked solemnly at the sewage spreading towards XN City.

"Fortunately, the water level of the big river connecting XN City is very low." The fat woman breathed a sigh of relief, then opened her mouth forcefully. The sewage that had already overwhelmed the water plant and was about to seep into the city suddenly evaporated rapidly, all turning into water vapor and being sucked into the fat woman's mouth.

"It's Aquarius!"

"As expected of the Twelve Constellations of the Research Institute, they can even stop a flood!"

The citizens of XN City had just breathed a sigh of relief when an octopus tentacle suddenly stretched out from the water plant and headed straight for the helicopter in the air.

The length of this tentacle has exceeded human's understanding of octopuses. The tentacle is actually several kilometers long. In just a moment, it hooked the helicopter that wanted to dodge, then swung the helicopter in a circle with force, and then smashed the helicopter heavily to the ground.

"It's a level 4 monster!"

"It's over. If anything happens to Aquarius, XN City will be flooded with sewage by the octopus."

Black Panther, who had already started the car, saw the huge octopus tentacles and his eyes were full of fear.

But when he saw that Aquarius in the helicopter was stuck in the cabin due to his bulky body and was about to crash to the ground with the plane, Black Panther's eyes gradually became firm.

Black Panther was very afraid of death, and wanted very much to hide in Ailing Town and enjoy Huo Ying's protection.

But he couldn't do it and had to watch the XN city where he had lived for a long time being destroyed.

accelerate!
Black Panther suddenly unbuckled his seat belt, and his body turned into a string of afterimages as he rushed out of the armored vehicle. In just a blink of an eye, Black Panther stepped on the wall, ran higher and higher, and rushed towards the plane that was about to crash.

The extreme speed allows the Black Panther to ignore any obstacles and even walk on straight walls as if it were flat ground.

The next second, Phantom rushed into the cabin, instantly unbuckled Aquarius's seat belt, and pulled Aquarius and the helicopter pilot out of the plane.

Speed is power, and the inertia brought by the sufficient sprint distance allows Black Panther to easily lift the fat Aquarius.

boom!
The helicopter was smashed deep into the ground and shattered into pieces with an explosion.

But Aquarius and the pilot were rescued by Black Panther. It took only a few breaths from the time the plane was entangled by the tentacles to the time it was smashed. Black Panther actually used his acceleration ability to successfully rescue the two and sent them several thousand meters away from the explosion of the plane.

"Speed-type infected!" Aquarius did not dare to neglect, and immediately maintained water control after being rescued: "Help, save people, save as many as you can. If the number of casualties is too large, everyone's confidence will collapse, and XN City will be finished."

After finally escaping, the fat woman's first reaction was to pray to Black Panther to save more people.

Black Panther looked up and saw that there were more and more octopus tentacles in the sky. Dozens of tentacles, several kilometers long, began to smash the city indiscriminately.

Every whipping was like a missile hitting the city of XN, and the solid buildings were instantly smashed to pieces by the octopus' tentacles.

"Understood!" Black Panther gritted his teeth, transformed into a phantom again, and rushed towards the affected citizens. "Brother, what should we do!"

The tattooed man saw Black Panther rushing in to save people and looked at Scar King anxiously.

"The research institute is in a critical period right now. Take this letter and find the dean's office and deliver it." Scar King stuffed the letter into the tattooed man's hand and said, "I'll go save people too!"

The tattooed man is a level two infected person, and it is too difficult for him to save people. He just takes advantage of the vacancy of the research institute to deliver the letter. Scar King has the physical fitness of a level three infected person and the ability of sixth sense. Even if XN City is very dangerous, Scar King believes that he will not die so easily.

Scar King has no feelings for XN City, but he was once a soldier in the Investigation Corps. Watching monsters slaughter people in the city and then running away without doing anything is something he can't get over.

"Be careful at ten o'clock, the tentacles are going to hit there!"

Rushing into the circle of infected people surrounding the octopus monster, Scar King shouted using his sixth sense. He could sense where the most dangerous place was. The most dangerous place was where the octopus monster was preparing to attack.

"Brother, it's you!"

In the crowd, someone greeted Scar King. It was Lao Niu, a level three infected person.

When rushing from Lianhai City to XN City, Lao Niu ran into Huo Ying and was reminded by Huo Ying not to go to the seaside. For this reason, he also left a mark for the convoy behind.

"Hehe, we are fighting side by side again."

They were all soldiers from Lian Hai City, and they were also the soldiers who were left behind at that time. Scar King immediately joined Lao Niu's team, saving people while directing the infected people to hide.

"Do you have the ability to predict?" Suddenly, an infected person carrying a huge sword rushed to Scar King.

"Sixth sense strengthened, bad, the team at twelve o'clock is in danger!"

After hearing Scar King's reminder, the infected people who rushed towards the octopus monster at twelve o'clock immediately dispersed. The next second, a huge octopus tentacle smashed there, but with Scar King's reminder, the octopus tentacle hit nothing.

"Sixth sense? That's enough! Follow me and tell me where the danger is!"

The infected person carrying the giant sword immediately grabbed Scar King. The man's arms were very strong, even stronger than those of the infected people with strength-enhanced arms.

"Nine o'clock." Scar King's pupils suddenly shrank: "Fuck, get out of the way!"

The man did not dodge. When he heard Scar King's report, he actually pulled Scar King over and rushed over. Before the tentacles fell, he ran to the place where the tentacles fell. Then he raised the sword with both hands, accumulated strength, and chopped the falling tentacles fiercely.

"Break!"

This time, the tentacles did not smash to pieces. Instead, they were cut off immediately when they touched the giant sword. The octopus also retracted the remaining half of the tentacle in pain.

"Don't worry, I am a Cancer of the Zodiac, and my ability is to be able to break through anything!"

Cancer smiled brightly, then pulled Scar King towards the octopus' next attack point.

The tentacles cut off by Cancer flew in another direction. The broken limbs were several hundred meters long and were the bodies of level four infected creatures, still carrying enormous destructive power.

Roar!
A phantom of a lion suddenly appeared and swallowed the tentacle in one bite.

"Crab claws, cut a few more and eat more, then I can join the battle."

The one who spoke was Leo, one of the twelve zodiac signs. His ability was carnivory. As long as it was meat, he could swallow it. The more he swallowed, the stronger the meat became, and the greater Leo's combat power would be in a short period of time.

"No problem, follow me, I'll let you have a good meal today!"

Cancer and Leo, two sturdy men, each stretched out a hand, picked up Scar King, who looked like a child in comparison, and rushed towards the water plant, getting closer and closer to the octopus.

"Great! All the twelve zodiac signs are here! XN City is saved!"

Seeing the heroic and high-spirited Cancer and Leo, all the infected people are excited.

But Scar King, who was being dragged by two people, changed his expression: "Run, run quickly, we are being targeted by the octopus!"

The huge octopus body stood up from the water plant, and countless pupils looked at Leo and Cancer who were very conspicuous in the crowd.

"Don't be afraid, I can cut off any attack!"

Cancer let go of Scar King and assumed a posture of gathering strength. Leo also roared, and his whole body suddenly transformed, really turning into a lion as big as a hill, and rushed towards the octopus with a rumble.

"Where is that human?" The octopus suddenly spoke in human language. Its eyes swept across Cancer and Leo, staying for less than a second.

"I don't have time for you bastards." The octopus searched the crowd seriously, and then the severed tentacles suddenly recovered, and then it lashed towards Cancer and Leo fiercely.

"Come on, haha, lion, his recovery ability is so strong, today, I can let you eat enough!"

"Yeah, hahahaha, the more I eat, the stronger I will be. Crab Claw, please give me some strength and let me eat to level four in one go."

level four.

The octopus was attracted by these two words, and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

Just two guys with some peculiar abilities, actually committed fraud against level 4.

"Are all humans so arrogant?"

The octopus turned its head, and the tentacles that were smashing towards Leo and Cancer suddenly turned black.

Ink!

Ink actually condensed on the octopus's tentacles.

The next second, the ink-covered tentacles touched Leo and smashed into Cancer's sword.

boom!
The hill-like Leo suddenly degenerated into a human form, and was then beaten into a ball of blood mist.

Cancer, who swung his sword at the tentacles, was also stunned. This time, he failed to cut off the octopus's tentacles.

No, it's not that nothing can be cut off, it's that nothing is continuous and has become ineffective.

"Everyone, the ink will suppress the abilities of the infected..."

boom!
Before Cancer could finish his reminder, he was beaten into a meat patty.

"I already told you to run!" Scar King's eyes were red with anger. He had already sensed that two people would die, but neither of them believed him.

The rest of the infected people who were rushing towards the octopus monster also stopped in horror.

They heard that the octopus' ink could make their abilities ineffective.

Then...the infected are not contagious, so how should we fight this battle?

"Was Lian Hai City destroyed by this kind of monster?"

Black Panther stopped beside Scar King, panting, and looked at the octopus in disbelief. The ability of a level 4 monster was too terrifying. It could even eliminate the abilities of the infected.

"No, the level four monster that attacked Lianhai City is much weaker than this one..." Scar King's voice was bitter. The octopus monster was beyond his understanding of level four monsters. The level four monster that attacked Lianhai City did not have such terrifying abilities as the octopus.

It turns out that there is a huge difference between level 4 monsters and level 4 monsters.

And now, XN City is facing the top of the fourth-level monster.
