Very quickly, the 4 ocean-freaks received Saruman's orders, as they frantically aimed at Ocean-freak Moria. These rays were as thick as a wine cup, and shot out like lasers. Sheyan merely glanced at them, yet his body felt a chill. Not only were these rays of death exceedingly powerful, they were obviously imbued with various debuffs. Even if Sheyan was in his peak state, he definitely wouldn't be able to withstand 4 or 5 of these rays.
When those rays of death shot over, Ocean-freak Moria merely lazily raised her tentacles, and effortlessly blocked off the rays. For some reason, when the rays of death hit its skin, there would be some kind of strange refraction, and the rays would be reflected back to the surrounding rock walls. Sizzling sounds could be heard, and deep holes were corroded into the rock walls one after another.
Naturally, the genes of those ocean-freaks, should've been modified by Saruman after researching those lifeless eggs. They were of the same origin as Ocean-freak Moria, and naturally, the destructive might of those rays wasn't placed in Ocean-freak Moria's eyes, as she effortlessly blocked them. Sheyan didn't know if it was his misperception, but he could sense a hint of ridicule in the eyes of this female octopus.
At this moment, Saruman had rushed over, and immediately noticed this gigantic octopus. Although he was separated by a considerable distance, his eyes were brimming with lust! He immediately commanded his orcs to encircle the octopus, but didn't mobilize his elite uruk-hais.
Worth mentioning, although the flood was surging violently, to an uruk-hai leader like Lurtz, it wasn't enough to threaten his life. However, it was unavoidable for him to be covered in dust and grime, and cut a sorry figure.
At this moment, Reef and Melody both crowded over, as Reef excitedly exclaimed.
"Excellent. Now, there are only a few old and weak orcs left in the valley. Once both sides start fighting, we can immediately climb out of the mountain wall through this tunnel. Then, we can make a detour to their rear and force our way out. Even if Saruman knows of this, he wouldn't chase after us for the sake of small gains. "
Sheyan's eyes flickered with a glimmer, as he gently shook his head and earnestly replied.
"It's not time yet."
Reef was stunned.
"When is the best time for us to leave?"
Sheyan abruptly changed the topic and asked.
"Look at the battle below."
Reef cautiously glanced downwards. Although Ocean-freak Moria was currently besieged by 20 orcs, there were still close to 10 ocean-freaks behind it providing suppressive firepower. Relying solely on its two tentacles, Ocean-freak Moria could both attack and defend.
When Reef glanced over, he coincidentally witnessed Ocean-freak Moria waving out a tentacle from the water with a splash; nimbly coiling around an orc. The tentacle gently retracted, crushing all the bones of the unlucky orc, before directly tossing him into her mouth and chewing heartily. The Orc's black blood kept spurting out as it chewed. It felt like a thirsty person was biting down on a juicy orange, the juice splattering everywhere.
To Ocean-freak Moria, she had just laid her eggs not long ago, and had just engaged in a fierce battle with her mortal enemy. She required large amounts of food to replenish her strength. Thus, these damnable ants were naturally food delivered to her doorstep. Reef observed for a while longer, before 3 orcs were coiled around by the terrifying tentacle, entering Ocean-freak Moria's stomach. Saruman didn't act, instead, he commanded his subordinates to retreat step by step. How could Ocean-freak Moria let these damnable ants go? Step by step, it crawled out from the underground lake.
Reef's thoughts flashed, and he instantly understood.
"That's right! Saruman is too greedy, he actually planned to lure Ocean-freak Moria out from the lake! Firstly, to reduce its might, and secondly, to kill it or even capture it alive. Don't tell me … … "
Sheyan patted his shoulder, earnestly replying.
"That's right, if Melody can give us an underwater breathing ability, then we can seize the opportunity when that big guy is lured out, and directly enter the underground lake."
Reef frowned.
"But … …"
Sheyan knew what he was worried about, calmly replying.
"There's no buts. Previously, Saruman found it extremely difficult to reach this place, most likely due to Ocean-freak Moria frequently moving about in that lake. Thus, we can deduce that this underground lake is definitely connected to the lake outside. If we were in our normal state, our chances of swimming across would be at most 50%. Yet with the divine art of underwater breathing, it would be much safer. Without any misgivings, we would be able to escape without alerting anyone!"
At this moment, Ocean-freak Moria had already been lured out of the underground lake. She continued to greedily slaughter the orcs ahead. In the eyes of Ocean-freak Moria, these ferocious and robust orcs were like freshly baked tarts in the afternoon tea, able to replenish her feeble state. Hence, she wasn't willing to yield in the slightest when her enemies retreated. Although her tentacles seemed slow, her movement speed wasn't inferior to the orcs in the slightest.
After consecutively slaying 6-7 orcs, Saruman lightly gestured with his hand. Instantly, the frontline troops scattered and fled. Ocean-freak Moria's eyes flashed with an ominous glint, how could she let them go? She frantically chased after them. Along the way, she consecutively devoured 4 orcs. But when she finally reached the cave entrance, the uruk-hai leader Lurtz was standing at a distance. He was standing on a tall boulder facing the cave entrance!
His entire body was dripping with water.
His face was bruised.
His appearance was extremely miserable.
Instead, he squinted his eyes.
His eyes sparkled with an indescribable radiance.
He pulled out that longbow that could contend against the elven prince Legolas.
He pulled out that arrow that could even kill the Regent's eldest son, the former commander of the Gondor army, Boromir!!!
His thick and solid arm, cyan veins extended out like snakes. Then, he pulled the bowstring.
Shoot!!
This arrow wasn't Lurtz's own strength, but was a joint attack unleashed by Saruman and him! Along with the wailing of millions of vengeful spirits, cursing and cursing together!
It was impossible to capture the trajectory of this arrow. One could only see Lurtz nocked the arrow and aimed. Then, as though he had aged 10 years in an instant, he vomited blood and collapsed. One of Ocean-freak Moria's bronze eyes actually exploded. It released an incomparably mournful shriek as it retreated back into the cave and into the lake.
Instead, Saruman's doppelgänger raised his magic staff and chanted an incantation. The incantation was read out word by word from his wrinkled lips. The first word was completely silent, but the second word was extremely resonant. The final word of the incantation was like a thunderclap!
At the entrance of the cave, the incomparably sturdy stone wall actually began to crack rapidly. Moreover, the cracks were still extending and collapsing! After a thunderous boom, it very bluntly collapsed. Amidst the massive dust cloud, one could vaguely see a narrow passageway. But to an enormous beast like Ocean-freak Moria, it was like a heavenly moat!!
At present, the trio had already charged towards the underground lake without hesitation. When they passed by the area where the octopus had previously laid, they discovered that the mucus was exceptionally thick. Every step they took, their shoes would produce long strands of mucus.
At this moment, for some unknown reason, a buzzing sound echoed in their minds. Their minds instantly went blank, as they simultaneously stumbled forward and fell to the ground. Sheyan's mouth and nose were practically covered by the transparent mucus, as though his face was plastered with mucus. It was unbearably disgusting.
But after he recovered, he calmly said.
"Saruman is in deep trouble, Ocean-freak Moria isn't that easy to deal with … …"
Melody cast a doubtful glance at Sheyan. Sheyan sighed and said.
"Don't ever forget, that damned octopus can even spit out a powerful hallucinatory gas. It can even control the mind of the orcs and even this bitch beside me! (Reef glared) Those two great abilities are useless against the balrog, but … … .don't ever forget, Saruman's tentacle monsters were all created using Ocean-freak Moria's genes as a blueprint. Even a wise man will make a mistake. I reckon that old man didn't place enough emphasis on this aspect, or perhaps he was overly confident in his research. Today, he will suffer a huge loss! "
Just as Sheyan's voice faded, indistinct miserable shrieks drifted in. That was the miserable shrieks of several uruk-hais!! Obviously, Sheyan's deduction wasn't wrong. Those formidable tentacle monsters were instantly controlled by the enraged Ocean-freak Moria, and Saruman was caught unprepared.
The dignity of a legendary creature, how could it be so easily violated?
Probably, the betrayal of the tentacle monsters had left a huge shadow in Saruman's heart. From then on, he abandoned his research on them, and concentrated his efforts on the uruk-hais. Henceforth, the short-lived tentacle monsters had forever vanished from this world … ….
Sheyan casually picked up several Ocean-freak Moria's eggs. Although they had been incinerated by the balrog's fire spirit, and lost their souls, they were still a sacred healing item. Then, he allowed Melody to cast her 'Underwater Breathing Technique', and dived into the underground lake.
After casting the 'Underwater Breathing Technique', a thin transparent mask appeared on Sheyan's face. It emitted a faint green glow, and was extremely gentle. It smoothly separated the air from the water and supplied it to them. (To be continued. If you like this work, I welcome you to donate your recommendation votes or monthly votes.
