"Whoosh whoosh!"
"Bang! Bang!"
Thus, the division of labor was clear: Hairen and Niya were to deal with the scattered sea monsters, while Long Yi and Lu Shuishui would use their spark and ice cone storms to strike at the vital points of the humanoid octopus.
Niya had an eighty percent certainty that this was absolutely the humanoid octopus's fatal weakness!
Perhaps the controller behind the slime also sensed their intention and directly released more sea monsters, which were endless.
When it rains, it pours. Both Long Yi and Lu Shuishui had only recently mastered their new moves, lacking accuracy and having exhausted their spirit energy.
At this moment, Wang Zihao issued another command.
"Su Baiyi, Tian Ximeng, you two take over. Lu Shuishui and Long Yi, you retreat to their positions!"
"No problem!"
When Su Baiyi and Tian Ximeng arrived, Niya was skillfully handling the scattered sea monsters. Upon seeing the two girls, he gestured towards the humanoid octopus.
"Here, this is for you two."
"Oh dear... I need a rest too."
Hairen burrowed into the ground, going to find Lu Shuishui.
"Just the two of us?"
And a child?
Su Baiyi felt it was unreliable, but seeing Niya’s nonchalant demeanor, he seemed quite formidable?
She couldn't figure it out.
In fact, with Niya's strength, it wouldn't be a problem for him to deal with this humanoid octopus directly. After all, he was once an Apostle; it would be too pathetic if he couldn't even handle such a minor foe.
However, Duan Chen had forbidden it. He only wanted Niya to stabilize the situation and prevent any sea monsters from sneaking into the temple.
As for this behemoth, it was still for his dear students to handle.
"Su Baiyi, you go first. We'll cooperate."
Duan Chen nodded, his admiration evident in his eyes.
When Long Yi and Lu Shuishui were present, they needed Niya's reminders for their coordination. But Tian Ximeng, upon her arrival, immediately thought of this, which pleased him greatly. 138 Reading Network
"No problem!"
Su Baiyi closed her eyes, and when she reopened them, two deep pink flowers bloomed in her pupils.
"Mind control!"
"Huh?"
Hearing Duan Chen's surprised exclamation, Wang Zihao smiled.
"Su Baiyi is quite talented in this regard."
Duan Chen did not respond, nodding faintly.
These young ones were all growing.
While Su Baiyi was using her mind control, Tian Ximeng was not idle. She took out a mechanical spider the size of her palm from her pocket and placed it on the ground.
"Explode!"
With her command, the mechanical spider instantly shattered into numerous small spiders, which crawled towards the weak spot Niya had mentioned.
The humanoid octopus, upon being subjected to Su Baiyi's mind control, froze in place, unable to move.
It was as if it had been struck by a petrification spell.
And in its gaze towards Su Baiyi, there was a profound admiration.
Charm mixed with mind control could achieve such an effect!
However, this control did not last long before the humanoid octopus broke free.
"Damn it!"
Su Baiyi's delicate face darkened.
"It's alright, don't panic."
Tian Ximeng's voice was calm and composed as she systematically controlled the mechanical spiders.
Niya was handling the other scattered sea monsters. She could tell that this young boy was not ordinary, so she did not get distracted, consistently controlling her spiders to attack the blue light spot Niya had indicated.
Earlier, when Long Yi and Lu Shuishui were present, they didn't fully trust Niya. Therefore, part of their energy was used to deal with the humanoid octopus, and another part was to observe the other sea monsters emerging from the slime. Naturally, their strength could not be fully utilized. Otherwise, their power was actually slightly stronger than Tian Ximeng's.
The reason the humanoid octopus was controlled so easily was thanks to Hairen.
The two insects released by Hairen could enter the humanoid octopus's body and gnaw at its internal organs. While those two small insects might not sound like much, they were enough to cause the behemoth great pain.
Wang Zihao's command was somewhat successful.
Just as Duan Chen was thinking this, another violent tremor shook the slime.
"Bang!"
Another humanoid octopus?!
Tian Ximeng and Su Baiyi's faces turned green.
One was manageable, especially since it had been weakened by Lu Shuishui and the other two. But this humanoid octopus was brand new, having not experienced any combat!
Duan Chen frowned.
Two humanoid octopuses were beyond their capabilities.
He had no choice but to intervene in this battle.
What Duan Chen cared about was how Wang Zihao would judge the situation: would he continue to stubbornly maintain his pride and suffer, or would he swallow his pride and ask for his help?
To Duan Chen, the latter was more to his liking.
If Wang Zihao chose the former, he would likely be somewhat disappointed.
Because suffering out of pride meant not just he himself was suffering, but also those teammates who possessed combat abilities.
Fortunately, Wang Zihao did not disappoint him.
He looked at Duan Chen and bowed deeply.
"I'm sorry, instructor. It seems I'll have to trouble you! I cannot let them fall into danger!"
"Hmph... You haven't disappointed me."
"Ah?"
Wang Zihao was stunned, not yet understanding Duan Chen's meaning.
The next second, Duan Chen had already vanished before him.
"Now, what do we do?" Su Baiyi's small face was pale.
"You two retreat. Duan Chen has arrived."
Galoce said calmly.
"Ah?"
"It really is the instructor!"
Su Baiyi breathed a sigh of relief.
"You two did well. Return to your respective positions and recuperate."
Duan Chen stepped forward, his eyes indifferent.
"Yes."
"Roar—!"
They were merely two beasts; Duan Chen wouldn't put them in his eyes.
Coincidentally, he had new moves that needed to be practiced.
A storm of spirit energy swept out, and Duan Chen's left eye emitted a bloodthirsty red glow.
The patterns on his left eye gradually twisted and spread, extending to the area around his eye socket.
At the same time, a vertical eye slowly appeared in mid-air!
"Ah! That is—"
Everyone couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
From that vertical eye, they sensed an intense pressure!
"Is this the instructor's strength?"
Long Yi, Su Baiyi, and Tian Ximeng completed their handover and arrived at the temple gate.
The moment he saw the vertical eye, he clenched his fist, his blood boiling.
This was a powerful force that commanded his submission!
"Instructor... so amazing!"
Lu Shuishui's face was full of adoration.
The two humanoid octopuses, clearly sensing danger, had their auras significantly weakened.
"What a terrifying eye technique!"
Even though it was the second time he had seen it, Galoce couldn't help but sigh in amazement.
Duan Chen was truly a monster!
This wasn't the end yet.
Duan Chen's eyes narrowed.
Soul Sight!
