Chapter 313 - 272: Underwater Beast (Part 3)

Then there was another commotion outside—

Those young people from before hurriedly ran over again!

They were all soaked to the skin.

And each of them looked utterly terrified, shouting loudly:

"It’s bad, it’s really bad!"

"We were bringing supplies just now, and halfway through, we encountered a giant fierce beast!"

"That creature overturned the boat directly and then grabbed the supplies, sinking underwater!"

"Erwa and Mercury were also killed by the fierce beast!"

...

"What?!"

Little Goldfish was also shocked upon hearing this and said with a frown:

"It’s over! It must be that giant octopus."

Lin Lang asked curiously:

"What kind of fierce beast is that?"

Little Goldfish said worriedly:

"It’s a very large octopus, it has eaten many villagers before, very ferocious!"

"Everyone is particularly afraid of it. Usually, no one dares to go to that part of the water."

"I never thought it would start roaming around..."

Upon hearing this!

Lin Lang’s heart stirred—

The supplies weren’t a big deal; after all, he didn’t lack those things.

But since that fierce beast had eaten so many people and committed so many sins, it couldn’t be allowed to live!

At that moment!

Lin Lang decided to rid the people of this menace and kill that octopus.

Thus.

Lin Lang said:

"I’ll go kill it!"

Little Goldfish hurriedly said:

"It’s very powerful underwater, it’s too dangerous for you to go!"

She was very worried about Lin Lang’s safety, after all, that octopus was not easy to deal with.

But Lin Lang said confidently:

"No worries! I want to see just how formidable it is."

Little Goldfish saw Lin Lang’s determined attitude, hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"I’ll go with you, my ability is to control water, I can assist you underwater, I can’t let you venture alone."

Seeing her serious expression, Lin Lang thought having her help might not be a bad idea.

Besides, letting her see the demise of the beast firsthand could also be satisfying for her.

He then said:

"Alright, letting you see that beast die with your own eyes is good."

Saying this!

The two of them went underwater together.

Once in the water, Lin Lang saw a different world beneath the surface—

There were many peculiar plants growing here, some like large fans, gently swaying with the current; others like long ribbons, dancing gracefully in the water, colorful and beautiful!

The water was very, very deep, and the deeper they went the darker it became, permeating a mysterious and profound aura.

Little Goldfish used her superpower—

With a wave of her hands, the surrounding water began to churn!

Then it gradually gathered together, creating a large bubble that enveloped the two of them securely!

This allowed them to breathe freely underwater.

...

After that!

Lin Lang used his Divine Sense, which spread out like invisible threads in all directions, starting to track the octopus’s whereabouts.

The two followed the direction indicated by the Divine Sense, swimming deeper into the water.

The bubble sank slowly with them, the water pressure around them increasing, yet neither showed any sign of retreat.

Finally!

At a very deep place!

Lin Lang’s Divine Sense detected the trace of the giant octopus—

The octopus was coiled beside a large reef, churning the surrounding water into a murky mess.

Its massive body looked extremely intimidating, with countless tentacles waving in the water, as if proclaiming its territorial sovereignty.

The giant octopus seemed to sense someone approaching and suddenly launched an attack towards Lin Lang and the others!

It swung its thick, powerful tentacles fiercely towards the bubble!

The tentacles carried great force, and if they hit, the bubble would probably burst instantly.

However, Lin Lang remained calm, his figure flashed, and he easily dodged the octopus’s attack.

Then a burst of Spiritual Qi shot out, striking towards the octopus!

Though the octopus was huge and fierce, it was nothing in the face of Lin Lang!

Lin Lang’s burst of Spiritual Qi was fierce and instantly pierced through its body!

"Roar!"

The octopus thrashed its tentacles wildly!

Lin Lang then calmly launched another attack, blowing the octopus’s head apart!

The octopus immediately went still, dead for sure!

...

Little Goldfish was stunned watching from the side!

She couldn’t believe it!

Lin Lang had so easily dealt with the giant octopus that everyone dreaded!

Her admiration for Lin Lang grew even deeper.

And Lin Lang looked at the dead octopus, lightly clapped his hands, and said:

"Let’s go, time to head back."

"Mm!"

Just before they were about to leave, Lin Lang instinctively used the Eye of Destiny to scan the surroundings—

After all, he had never been underwater before, considering there might be something else here.

But this scan revealed an unexpected discovery!

In the deeper part of the underwater fissure!

An enormous golden light appeared!

The light was extremely dazzling, containing an air of mystery, as if hiding some monumental secret.

"Hmm, is there really something valuable?"

Lin Lang was filled with curiosity, thinking that since he’d discovered it, he must go take a look, so he said to Little Goldfish:

"I’ll go check it out, you head back first."

Little Goldfish quickly said:

"I’ll go with you, I don’t feel safe leaving you alone."

Seeing her insistence, Lin Lang nodded and said:

"Alright, let’s go down together, but you must stick close to me."

Saying this, the two of them continued to swim towards the deeper part where the golden light was located...
