"Third-rank Xuan Beast?"
Lu Li's heart skipped a beat. There really was a powerful Xuan Beast. If it was only Third-rank Xuan Beasts, it would be okay. But once there was a Fourth-rank Xuan Beast, it would be fatal.
"Let's go!"
They were now the masters of the Blood Evil Island. It was their duty to protect the Blood Evil Island and the nearby islands. They had the responsibility to protect all their people.
With Hunchback Tian and the Green Dwarfs, it was not difficult to kill Third-rank Xuan Beasts. If there was a Fourth-rank Xuan Beast, Lu Li would be powerless.
They ran madly towards the island as fast as they could.
The island was small. In the time for only half an incense stick to burn, they had arrived at the battlefield.
It was a mess!
There was water everywhere. Refugees were fleeing in disorder. Stone forts and attics were collapsed. Many places were floating with dead bodies.
Liu Yi had sharp eyes. She saw five escorts of the Blood Evil Island at once. They were fighting with low rank Xuan Beasts in the water.
Patriarch Nine had arrived earlier with others. From the distance came shouts, miserable cries and the roars of monsters. It proved that the Third-rank Xuan Beast was still doing evil.
"Hunchback Tian!"
Lu Li shouted in anger. Hunchback Tian was duty-bound. A powerful qi and energy spread out from him. He rushed towards the distance like a sharp sword.
"Family Patriarch, you are in charge of treating the wounded. Arrange for all tribes to retreat."
Lu Li carried his Mighty Heaven Halberd and ran forward with all the Green Dwarfs. Liu Yi was not good at fighting, so Lu Li asked her to be in charge of the rear.
The terrain here was low. The water was over people's heads. Lu Li and the Green Dwarfs were powerful. With the help of many trees and stone forts, they made their way forward.
The battlefield was right in front of them. Lu Li saw a group of people fighting with more than a dozen Xuan Beasts.
These Xuan Beasts all lived in the water, but they were just as ferocious on land. Corpses of escorts of the Blood Evil Island were everywhere.
The escorts were trained by the Liu Family during this time. They were only at the later stage of the Xuan Wu Realm. Among the more than a dozen Xuan Beasts, there were several of the Second Rank. It was not surprising that so many people died.
"You two stay here and kill the Xuan Beasts."
Lu Li asked two Green Dwarfs to help kill the Xuan Beasts. He took the other five Green Dwarfs and continued.
In a col in the distance, Lu Li heard a muffled roar as well as Hunchback Tian's shout, which indicated that the Third-rank Xuan Beast was over there.
With the addition of the two Green Dwarfs, the morale of the Blood Evil Army was boosted. Green Dwarfs were comparable to warriors of the Soul Pond Realm. It was not a problem for them to kill the more than a dozen Xuan Beasts.
"What a powerful aura!"
Before he got close to the col, Lu Li sensed a strong surge of qi and blood. He also saw several huge tentacles waving in the air like dragon whips.
After running up a small hill, Lu Li finally saw the real body of the Nine-Clawed Octopus.
In front of them was not a mountain pass, but a huge valley. At this moment, the valley was filled with water. Half of a huge creature was submerged in the water. A few tentacles with sharp thorns waved continuously, attacking the Green Dwarfs and Hunchback Tian.
The Ninth Elder was hiding behind another hill. He had brought a few Green Dwarfs with him. If it weren't for these Green Dwarfs, there wouldn't be a single living person on this island.
"So powerful!"
Lu Li was shocked after a few glances. The body of the Nine-Clawed Octopus was so huge, even bigger than two elephants.
The nine tentacles were more than 30 feet long with sawtooth-like thorns on them. They looked extremely horrifying.
"Boom!"
One of the tentacles landed on the small mountain Lu Li was on. The small mountain trembled and a deep gully appeared. Lu Li was shocked to see it.
The strength of the Nine-Clawed Octopus was so horrifying. If he was hit by one of the tentacles, he would be turned into minced meat.
"Kill this Xuan Beast."
Lu Li waved his hand. The five Green Dwarfs behind him rushed forward. The Green Dwarfs were very fast. They rushed into the valley and dived into the water like sharp swords.
"Hunchback Tian, lure the Xuan Beast and let the Green Dwarfs attack."
Lu Li shouted in a deep voice. Hunchback Tian sneered and said, "Island Owner Lu, the Nine-Clawed Octopus is very strong in defense. Your Green Dwarfs cannot break its defense."
Hunchback Tian carried a long and narrow golden saber in his hand. Even though his back was hunched like a camel's, he was as fast as the wind. He dashed around in the hills like a phantom.
The golden saber in his hand bumped into the tentacles of the Nine-Clawed Octopus from time to time. Surprisingly, he could not leave any mark on the tentacles.
"Let the Green Dwarfs distract the Nine-Clawed Octopus. I will go and attack its body."
Hunchback Tian shouted. Lu Li and Patriarch Nine in the distance immediately gave orders. They let the Green Dwarfs wander around in the hills to attract the attention of the Nine-Clawed Octopus.
"Whoosh!"
Hunchback Tian rushed to the back of the hill and hid. When the Nine-Clawed Octopus was distracted by the Green Dwarfs, he quietly rushed into the lake in the valley and dashed toward the body of the Nine-Clawed Octopus.
"Swish ~"
When Hunchback Tian was about to get close to the body of the Nine-Clawed Octopus, the Nine-Clawed Octopus was alerted. Three of its tentacles smashed into the water like shadows.
Hunchback Tian soon jumped out of the water. However, streaks of green liquid came out from the dirty water. A part of the water was dyed green.
"Well done!"
Patriarch Nine shouted. The blood of the Nine-Clawed Octopus was green. Hunchback Tian's sneak attack was successful. He had wounded the Nine-Clawed Octopus. As long as Hunchback Tian made a few more moves, the Nine-Clawed Octopus would be finished.
"Nice!"
Lu Li had seen Hunchback Tian's fighting capacity today. He was indeed powerful when he was at the peak of the Soul Pond Realm. He was so fast.
If Hunchback Tian wanted to kill Lu Li, Lu Li would not be able to react in time. He would be killed in an instant.
Hunchback Tian rushed out and cut at one of the tentacles of the Nine-Clawed Octopus. Surprisingly, Hunchback Tian borrowed the force and jumped back into the water.
Soon, he broke out of the water again. In an instant, there were clouds of green liquid gushing out from the water.
Hunchback Tian had lived for more than 100 years. Even though he had failed to reach the Fate Wheel Realm more than 80 times, he had rich fighting experience.
He kept jumping around on the tentacles of the Nine-Clawed Octopus. Every now and then, he would cut at the body of the Nine-Clawed Octopus. Clearly, he was trying to torture the Octopus Xuan Beast to death.
After the time for half an incense stick to burn, the lake in the valley turned to dark green. The Nine-Clawed Octopus began to slow down. Lu Li and Patriarch Nine looked at each other and they were to to each other..
"Whoosh!"
A man rushed over from the distance and reported to Patriarch Nine. Patriarch Nine's expressions changed. He shouted to Lu Li, "Island Owner, more than a dozen Xuan Beasts of the Second Rank are coming out from the volcano again. There are more of them of the First Rank. Hunchback Tian will handle this. We will go and suppress them."
"Okay!"
Lu Li nodded. He called the Green Dwarfs back and told Hunchback Tian what to do. Then he rushed to a group of mountains on the front left.
That group of mountains was filled with surging lake water. Lu Li could faintly see many low rank creatures in the water. He was getting more confused.
The volcano was not spewing out lava, but water?
This was so weird.
The terrain of this island was not high, but it was much higher than the Thousand-island Lake.
Water flowed to lower places. If it was the water of the Thousand-island Lake, how could it come out from here? If so, where did the water come from?
After running for more than three miles, Lu Li saw a volcano that was neither too high nor too big.
At the moment, a huge water column was spewing out from the crater of the volcano. Some Xuan Beasts could be faintly seen in the water column.
"So much water?
Where did it come from? "
This could not be the water of the Thousand-island Lake. What was more, there was no mist in the water, which indicated that this was not the prelude to the eruption of the volcano. There could not be so much water in the volcano.
If it was not the water of the Thousand-island Lake, could it be that the water came from another world?
