AST 2021 - Entangled, She Was Provoked (1/2)

“Qing Shui, that thing was scary, let’s go!” Yu Xixuan said after a brief thought.

Beiming Xue said nothing, but she looked uneasy too. It was hard for anyone who encountered a situation like this to keep calm, especially when life was in extremely great danger.

“Don’t you want to see what is lurking down there?” Qing Shui asked with a smirk.

Qing Shui knew curiosity would kill a cat, but he was eager to find out more about the underwater creature and how strong it was. Still, he knew it was hazardous; i would probably be the most dangerous attempt he had ever made.

He was in struggle too.

Beiming Xue shook her head this time, “Qing Shui, don’t be impulsive. There are too many scary and powerful things in the Main Continents, if you aren’t able to figure out everything, you might lose your life.”

Qing Shui nodded. He decided to put off the idea eventually; it was too risky.

Just as Qing Shui was about to leave, the previous aura was sensed again. Qing Shui was shocked at once. As he was about to retreat with the women, Beiming Xue was struck by the tentacle. There were tiny tentacles on the gigantic, thick tentacle, they could entangle a whole person.

Ah!

Beiming Xue let out a loud scream, being terrified, her face turned pale. Women feared the tentacle-like object the most. Qing Shui grabbed Beiming Xue hastily and released Little Rin. He told Yu Xixuan, “Leave together with Little Rin. Quickly, I will find you.”

He ordered Little Rin to head towards the exit and protect Yu Xixuan on the way out of this place. After all, it was too dangerous here. Without Little Rin, it was hard to tell if Yu Xixuan could make it out with only the Ice Burst Demonic Bear. He did not want any accidents.

“Qing Shui, let me be. Leave quickly!” Beiming Xue sounded anxious.

She knew she was doomed and was frightened, but she felt relieved once she saw Qing Shui was dragged along with her.

They were drawn into the freezing cold lake water. Qing Shui didn’t dare to release his hand, he said to Beiming Xue, “Don’t be afraid, it’ll be fine. I’m here.”

Qing Shui racked his brain for a solution. It seemed that he had to fight against this huge creature.

Qing Shui knew that there would probably be a lot of tentacles later, it would be really troublesome by then.

This tentacle had a thick trunk, about several meters thick. It was a headache to fend off this spider web-like object. Qing Shui used every formation and Buddha Ultimate Art, also the Emperor’s Qi and the Art of Pursuing.

After a tremendous boost of defense power, Beiming Xue suffered less now. Before this, she was almost strangled to death.

Dragon Slaying Beast!

Qing Shui released the Dragon Slaying Beast and told it to bite this giant tentacle.

The Dragon Slaying Beast was terrifying enough. With Qing Shui’s assistance, it improved greatly in strength. This huge tentacle was munched and broken instantly.

Qing Shui and Beiming Xue could get off the tentacle temporarily; the little tentacles that were stuck on their bodies were released too. However, before they could take a breath, the broken tentacle apparently regenerated and attacked them again.

“Terrifying regeneration power!” Qing Shui was amazed. However, he was not as anxious as before. Still, he knew the danger was still there.

Qing Shui could only see the tentacle now, he had no idea where its main body was. Hence, he was passive at the moment.

Was this ever going to end…

Qing Shui and the Dragon Slaying Beast chopped off the tentacle endless times, but it was all in vain. Like a lizard’s tail, it grew back in the blink of an eye.

Just as Qing Shui was dumbfounded, another wave came. Qing Shui was bewildered; this time, several tentacles came. There were more than ten…
