The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

Before the disciples of the Demon Sword Palace could even react, they were pulled into the sea!

"Whoosh!"

The seawater churned up at first!

Then there was no more sound!

Just as everyone was somewhat at a loss, the sea began to churn again!

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"

One, two, three, four... one by one, heads popped out of the seawater!

"Come back right now!" Feng Shengxue, the young master of the Demon Sword Palace, shouted sternly!

However, these giant octopuses had already cut off their escape route!

The remaining two disciples of the Demon Sword Palace, along with the three disciples of the Fireworks Sect, were already surrounded!

Even the wandering knights who had retreated halfway but then stopped retreating and chose to watch the show were now being targeted by the giant octopus!

A major battle was about to break out!

However, among this group, the two disciples of the Demon Sword Palace and the three members of the Fireworks Sect were able to fight the giant octopuses on equal terms, while the rest of the wandering swordsmen were almost unilaterally slaughtered!

Under the siege of hundreds of tentacles, the group of wandering knights were almost all dragged into the sea in one fell swoop!

The members of the Demon Sword Palace and the Fireworks Faction also couldn't hold out for long.

The tentacles wrapped around their bodies, then dragged them back underwater.

Soon, a strong smell of blood wafted from the sea!

The people on the ice looked extremely grim after witnessing this scene.

A giant octopus is very easy to deal with.

Judging from what we just saw, there are a lot of octopuses in this trench!

If there are too many, it becomes very troublesome!

Not only is it troublesome, it's also deadly!

These octopuses hide in the water, and their fatal weakness is their eyes. Moreover, their skin is thick and tough, and even swords and knives cannot cut through their tentacles!

Although there are many experts among the sects here, most of them are still at the Vajra Realm.

They haven't even found the Temple of Martial God yet, and they've already suffered heavy casualties—this is not what they wanted to see.

As a result, the leaders of the various sects couldn't sit still any longer!

Jia Daoshi looked at the trench shrouded in thick white fog, stretching as far as the eye could see, a thoughtful expression on his face.

At this moment, several experts from the Great Jing Dynasty also gathered together to discuss the matter.

Not only them, but people from all the different sects gathered together and began to whisper among themselves.

After pondering for a moment, Yuchi Zhenjin said, "Old Huang, do you have any poison on you? Why don't you just lie down in this trench and poison all these giant octopuses to death!"

Upon hearing this, Fei Yan rolled her eyes: "Did you forget your brain when you went out? This is the ocean, with so much seawater. What could you possibly kill by throwing in a bottle or two of poison?"

Huang Yaoshi shook his head: "Xiao Feiyan is right. According to my judgment, there are a lot of octopuses here, and they are gathered in this trench. With such a large size, even if the poison I brought can be effective, it can only kill one or two. In addition, with the dilution of a large amount of seawater, it will not have much effect at all."

"According to my estimation, there are probably a lot of octopuses in this trench!"

Zhou Botong stroked his beard: "Old Huang, then tell me, what should we do?"

Huang Yaoshi thought for a long time and shook his head: "I can't figure it out either. Why don't we sit down and wait? Let's leave these troublesome things to those strategists in the martial arts world. We just need to follow behind them."

"Old Huang, that won't do." Fei Yan immediately rejected Huang Yaoshi's idea. "It's true that all the sects in the martial arts world want to get in, but we're here to complete the mission assigned by the Empress. If we follow behind them, there's a high chance we won't be able to complete the mission!"

After remaining silent for a while, Da Han Yuan Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we just charge straight in?"

"With so many octopuses and hundreds of tentacles, aren't you afraid of being caught and thrown into the sea to become the Dragon King's son-in-law?" Without even thinking, everyone rejected Yuan Zhen's suggestion.

The sheer number of tentacles is one thing, but another is how disgusting they are. They are covered with suckers, and people with trypophobia would probably faint on the spot if they saw them!

"Then what should we do?" Zhou Botong asked, idly playing with his beard.

Upon hearing this, Yuchi Zhenjin was speechless: "Zhou Botong, every time you go on a mission, you say the same thing: 'What should we do?' Can't you put a little thought into it?"

"I think we should climb up this statue and walk from there!" Fei Yan suggested.

Zhou Botong shook his head: "This statue is too tall! I'm afraid of heights! I have acrophobia! Besides, I think walking on it might be even more dangerous!"

Feiyan: "..."

For a time, a stalemate ensued, and no one could come up with a solution that would satisfy both sides.

Just then, Jia Daoshi walked up to the group and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Gentlemen, I have a plan."

Several experts from the imperial court turned to look at them, saying, "We would like to hear more details!"

Jia Daoshi's words still carry some weight.

Jia Daoshi nodded: "Did you see how many people rushed over just now?"

Yu Chi Zhenjin: "The Demon Sword Palace has three disciples, the Fireworks Sect has three disciples, and there are about ten wandering knights."

Zhou Botong asked curiously, "Kid, why are you counting these people?"

Feiyan thought for a moment: "There are seventeen in total, plus the one that was eaten by the octopus first."

Girls are just so meticulous.

Jia Daoshi nodded: "That's right, I just remembered, there were indeed seventeen, and the octopuses that emerged were also seventeen!"

Huang Yaoshi's eyes lit up: "So, however many of us go there, the same number of octopuses will appear in the trench?"

Yu Chi Zhenjin shook his head: "Perhaps, this is just a coincidence?"

Jia Daoshi smiled and said, "This is just my guess. As for whether it is true or not, we will know once we try!"

"Jia Tisi, how should we test this?" Fei Yan frowned.

"It's very simple, I can make the trip myself."

Jia Daoshi felt that with his speed, he could completely avoid the octopus attacks.

Actually, it wouldn't be a big problem for him to bring his wives along.

The key is Yuchi Zhenjin and his group.

Since they had come together, he couldn't just stand by and watch them die.

If we can find the perfect way to pass the level, that would be the best.

"My lord, be careful!" Murong Jiu gripped Jia Daoshi's hand tightly.

Those giant octopuses had terrified her. If it weren't for the fact that her face wasn't hidden by her disguise, her face would have turned completely pale by now!

"Don't worry, your husband is very capable!" Jia Daoshi patted Murong Jiu's head to comfort her.

“I just observed these octopuses. They are so big that they can’t attack very fast. If we are fast enough, we should be able to avoid fighting them,” Yi Qianxiao said after thinking for a moment.

Not only her, but all the female martial arts practitioners present did not want to fight or engage in combat with such disgusting tentacles.
