CHAPTER 126: CHAPTER 126: ENCOUNTERING A POWERFUL ENEMY, ON THE BRINK OF LIFE AND DEATH!

The slippery sound like treading in a muddy swamp echoed on the bodies of those monster winged dragons, their originally ferocious and terrifying forms now having their necks tightly strangled.

Their bright yellow eyes were threaded with bloodshot veins as they gradually lost the breath of life to these soft yet deadly tentacles.

"Tentacles... it’s indeed them!"

Lying on the ground, hidden beneath the sheepskin, Lin Yue understood why Bai was as vigilant as last time, like facing a formidable enemy. This time, too, they had encountered the same giant creature!

Some of these gray-black tentacles like those that grow on octopuses and squids have the power to strangle the two-meter-tall monster winged dragons, and they’re covered with white, spike-like protrusions.

Through the sighting scope, Lin Yue could even see that the tips of the tentacles were filled with strange organs resembling sharp teeth, which easily sliced through the monster winged dragons’ tough scale armor, spilling a lot of blood.

Hundreds of monster winged dragons were lifted into the air by these tentacles, looking like cocoons hung on tree branches, with blood pouring out.

Lin Yue witnessed this bizarre scene reminiscent of hell, forgetting even to breathe.

At this moment, his mind was racing wildly.

How to break free?

One thing he was sure of: even if he sprinted at his fastest speed, he wouldn’t outrun these tentacles. That was proven back in that ancient city. Thanks to Bai, he wasn’t caught by them during his wild dash and wasn’t seized by that faceless creature.

The reason he hadn’t run to a farther place this time was those monster winged dragons hovering above. The successive arrival of the tentacle monster has trapped him inside this bank.

Even if he exited through the back door, there’s no guarantee that the tentacles of that creature aren’t waiting there too.

The slender chance of survival he clung to was that the tentacle monster hadn’t discovered him yet.

If discovered by the other...

"Woah oh oh oh..."

Suddenly, the sickening and sticky sounds erupted, and the cries of the monster winged dragons faded away. Instead, the slippery noise kept approaching.

He even heard something collapsing.

Has that monster arrived?

As a revolting stench suddenly hit his nostrils, the noise came closer, and Lin Yue spotted through the bank’s floor-to-ceiling glass window a peculiar blob resembling a black cloud.

With both height and width reaching five to six meters, its appearance was irregular, like a giant moldy dough.

At the center of the dough, there’s a colossal vertical mouth brimming with densely packed yellow-brown fang-like teeth.

Several tentacles grew around the mouth, their bases surrounded by numerous long, white, thread-like structures swaying.

Lin Yue didn’t see anything resembling eyes on this moldy giant dough monster, yet the towering mouth impacted his vision and senses with exceptionally intense force!

What is this creature?

Earth definitely doesn’t have a similar life form. The terror and intense pressure it emanates make any human description pale and powerless before it.

Lin Yue remained still, so did Bai.

Though it seemed always ready, waiting for Lin Yue’s next command.

Lin Yue gazed around.

Though he could instantly transfer these bank’s outer wall glasses into his storage space, once discovered by the monster, outrunning it is out of the question, and sitting idle is not viable...

"Crack!"

Suddenly, something unknown within the bank crashed to the ground with a dull thud!

In this previously silent surrounding, even the faintest sound seemed like thunder, let alone the commotion enough to alarm the monster outside!

Instantly, a tentacle swiftly stretched in this direction, packed with sinister fangs and spikes, rushing straight towards him and Bai as if it had eyes!

"Bai, unleash the blast!"

"Whoosh!" Bai puffed up its belly, spraying a chilling breath at the tentacle, and Lin Yue felt the temperature around him abruptly drop to zero degrees.

He did not hesitate a bit, brandishing Iron Spear, slicing the frosted tentacle into two!

"Roar!" The monster outside seemed extremely sensitive to pain; when its tentacles were severed, nearly all of them shrank back a bit.

Lin Yue recalled the scene where Du Ping and others used flames to burn them.

He extracted arrows carrying incendiary substances from the corpses he just scavenged, lighting one with a lighter and fixing it on the alloy compound crossbow, performing the whole procedure seamlessly, proceeding next to shoot the flaming arrow onto one of the monster winged dragons bound by tentacles!

The fire instantly engulfed the entire monster winged dragon, wrapping even the tentacle into its blaze.

The tentacle monster’s sickening sounds continued, with the tentacles recoiling backward again.

"Afraid of pain like this?" Lin Yue was surprised, yet continued shooting another flaming arrow, followed by a third.

Three flaming spheres burned fiercely midair, with one extending upwards, igniting the tentacle it was wrapped around.

Lin Yue watched as the monster shrieked and retreated while his mind raced.

This seemingly mighty creature seemed quite pain-sensitive, even showing fear of fire like those monster winged dragons...

Then, could it be possible... to kill it?

Lin Yue knew the pain at most could make the tentacle monster retreat temporarily, but he’d surely be caught once he dashed out of the bank.

Fire, continuous fire that can inflict steady harm... wait, he indeed had something in his storage space that can continuously produce fire.

Gasoline!

How to direct gasoline onto the monster?

Suddenly, Lin Yue glanced at the pile of yarn outside the bank door, something he left behind during his walk here from the seaside.

Pulling out new yarn from his storage space, he extracted the thread end, grabbed an iron basin from storage, extracted a liter of gasoline, and placed it inside.

He then rapidly untangled the yarn just to soak it entirely in gasoline!

"Bai, I need you to perform a task!" Holding the thread end at Bai’s mouth, he gripped the other end, "Wrap this around the monster, preferably several rounds, can you handle it?"

"Whoosh!" Bai excelled in speed, even though the monster outside was fast, it couldn’t match Bai.

Enduring the gasoline’s pungent smell, holding the thread end, Bai dashed out of the bank, turning into a silver streak heading towards the monster.

Lin Yue felt the thread end in his hand rapidly shortening and left the iron basin, igniting the thread end in his grasp.

The flame burst aloud, simultaneously whisking the burning thread outside!

"Whoosh!" Bai reappeared beside Lin Yue, while outside, the monster’s screams echoed!

"Did it succeed?"

The evening will have another Chapter
