I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 374 Octopus Monster

"Everyone evacuate immediately!" Alpha's voice was like a loud bell, exploding in the chaos. He looked anxiously at the supplies that had not yet been moved. At this moment, the ground was shaking more and more violently. Every second was full of unknown dangers. Saving his life was the top priority, and everything else was thrown behind his mind. When everyone heard the shout, they acted immediately like a frightened bird, running hurriedly towards a safe area.

The shaking of the earth was like surging waves, one after another, and the situation became increasingly critical. No, if you look closely, the earth seemed to be pushed by an invisible force, slowly rising, as if a huge monster that had been dormant for a long time was eager to break free from the ground.

In a moment, countless cracks spread in all directions at an alarming speed like a spider web. These cracks expanded rapidly, forming huge bottomless gullies, like a monster with bared fangs and claws, chasing after everyone, leaving them with almost no escape.

In this thrilling scene, people's heartbeats accelerated sharply, and every step they took was like stepping on a knife edge, full of fear and uncertainty. Their breathing was rapid and heavy, and their clothes were soaked with sweat, but they dared not stop for a moment, running desperately, with only one thought in their minds: escape from this land that was gradually crumbling.

Alpha followed the team closely, shouting loudly as he ran: "Stay calm, support each other!" His voice was firm and powerful, bringing a little comfort to everyone in the chaos. The scene before them was like the end of the world, the earth was shaking, cracks were everywhere, and they were like tiny ants, trying their best to find a glimmer of hope.

Suddenly, a deafening roar came from underground, and then a huge monster broke through the earth's shackles and completely emerged from underground. Its body was so huge that it was beyond imagination, like a towering mountain. Its mere appearance made everything around it seem so small, which was astonishing.

"This is a giant sea monster. How could it appear on land?" Darwin was shocked and his voice trembled unconsciously. He had always seen a lot, but the scene before him still shocked him greatly.

"Darwin, what on earth is that thing?" Although Alpha was surprised by the huge monster that appeared at this moment, he was not too panicked. From the initial encounters with vampires and mutant orcs to the later cyborgs, all kinds of strange monsters kept appearing, and he was no longer surprised.

"They are sirens, the overlords of the ocean." Darwin quickly organized his thoughts and explained, "Those maritime powers will raise these sirens, which is the key to their dominance of the ocean." After a pause, he added, "However, sirens have never appeared on land, because land creatures simply cannot meet their huge energy consumption, which is completely contrary to common sense!"

The situation was extremely urgent. Alpha made a prompt decision and gave a loud order: "The Shadow Knights and the Magic Lance Knights stay behind to cover our retreat, and the rest of you evacuate immediately!" Although these two knight orders were not the strongest, all of them were equipped with magic rifles and could carry out long-range attacks. In such a critical situation, they could minimize casualties.

The large army needed to evacuate with the people, so they moved slowly and had only left five kilometers. For the octopus mutants, who were only a few hundred meters away, this short distance was just a few steps away. The shadow of death instantly enveloped them, and the crisis was imminent.

"Lord Alpha, this mutant octopus is still in the birth stage, and its growth seems to have been interrupted," Darwin looked solemn, his eyes fixed on the huge and somewhat terrifying monster in front of him, with a bit of disbelief in his voice, "Otherwise, under normal circumstances, the giant siren can grow to a thousand meters when it grows up." This explanation really surprised Alpha, he looked up at the octopus monster, his eyes full of shock.

"Do they need to eat humans to grow?" Alpha was surprised and frowned slightly, feeling uneasy. In this world full of unknowns, every new monster that appears may bring unexpected dangers.

"Sirens have no particular preference when it comes to food, and any food can satisfy their survival needs." Darwin pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and began to explain patiently, "But due to their amazing appetite, only the vast ocean can continuously provide enough resources to maintain their survival. However, interestingly, some studies have shown that if sirens devour higher creatures such as humans, they can achieve rapid growth." This is undoubtedly an extremely rare and bizarre thing in Darwin's research experience, and now, this strange phenomenon is actually being presented before his eyes.

"If they attack us, how should we respond?" Alpha's expression was grim, and his eyes revealed vigilance. He did not want to take the initiative to provoke a dispute, but judging from the current situation, the enemy would obviously not let them go easily.

"Fire, sirens need a lot of energy to maintain their life activities, and as sirens, they must keep their skin moist at all times in order to breathe normally." Darwin said as he quickly sorted out past research data in his mind, "As long as we can hold on for a while, the sirens on land will collapse due to the limitations of their own conditions." This was his inference based on rich experience and in-depth research, which brought a glimmer of hope to everyone at this critical moment.

"Okay, let's see what choice this monster will make." Alpha took a deep breath, made a quick decision in his mind, and then began to slow down, intentionally distancing himself from the main force so that he could better observe and deal with the crisis at hand.

The giant octopus finally crawled out of the ground, and its appearance made everything around it seem so small. Its head was fifty meters in diameter, like a huge hill, and its longest tentacles were probably close to two hundred meters long, waving in the air like giant pythons ready to attack at any time. Such a huge size was really jaw-dropping.

However, things did not go as everyone wished. The giant octopus monster let out a deafening roar that seemed to penetrate a person's soul, and then it gradually accelerated towards the crowd, with each step making the ground tremble violently and raising a cloud of dust.

"Lord Apollo, why can I understand what that guy is saying? He keeps saying he's hungry." The monkey looked panicked and quickly approached Alpha, his face full of confusion. In this chaotic and dangerous moment, this strange phenomenon made him feel very uneasy.

"I feel the same way," Darwin agreed, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He had always been focusing on the study of various organisms, but he had never encountered such a bizarre situation.

"Maybe we have half-beast blood after the dragon blood transformation!" Alpha pondered for a moment and said slowly. Although the dragon bloodline is extremely noble, tracing back to the origin, the dragon race is also a branch of the orcs. Perhaps it is this special bloodline that has created a certain wonderful connection between them and this sea monster.

"Darwin, prepare to use a big move on this guy. Tony, have your Magic Gun Team prepare to shoot." Alpha gave the order quickly. He knew very well that engaging in close combat with this giant octopus monster was not a wise move. Not to mention whether he could win, the possible casualties alone were enough to make him think carefully.

"Leave it to me." Darwin responded confidently. During this period, he studied magic day and night, and his magic level had successfully broken through the realm of the great magician and was promoted to a wizard. This was his first battle after his promotion, and he naturally wanted to shine in this battle and prove his strength.

As the giant octopus monster approached, everyone felt an unprecedented pressure. Its huge body was like a moving mountain, and every step it took made the air around it seem to solidify, and fear continued to spread in everyone's hearts.

The monkey's doubts also caused others to think. After being transformed by dragon blood, their bodies did undergo many wonderful changes. At this time, Alpha's guess seemed to provide a reasonable explanation for this strange phenomenon, but in this battlefield full of unknowns, everything is still full of variables. Whether they can successfully resist the attack of this giant octopus monster is still unknown.

Darwin stood in front of the formation, took a deep breath, and slowly closed his eyes. The magic power around him began to surge like an awakened tide. He concentrated his mind and mobilized every bit of magic power in his body, preparing to use his ultimate move. A layer of deep blue light gradually appeared around him. This light seemed to be a mysterious power from the deep sea. As the magic power gathered, it became more and more dazzling. The powerful magic power condensed in his hands, forming an energy ball that flashed blue light, as if it contained the power of destruction.

On the other side, Tony was commanding his magic gun team in an orderly manner. The team members stood tall and focused, raised their magic guns, and aimed their black muzzles at the giant octopus monster that was rushing towards them. At this moment, the entire battlefield was filled with tension, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the moment of attack.

"Shoot!" Tony gave the order, and the sound resounded through the battlefield like a bell. The magic gun team's attacks rained down on the octopus monster, and rays of light streaked through the air, carrying everyone's hope and determination. However, what was unexpected was that the octopus monster's seemingly soft skin was actually very resilient. The magic gun's attack only left some shallow marks on its surface, like a dragonfly touching the water, fleeting, and then its skin returned to normal, as if it had never been attacked.

The giant octopus monster was not affected by the magic spear's attack at all, and its huge body continued to approach the crowd. Its tentacles waved wantonly in the air, making a whistling sound, and every wave seemed to tear the air apart, and its fierce momentum made people shudder. Its eyes flashed with a fierce light, locking onto the prey in front of it, and approached step by step, as if to crush everyone completely.

Darwin knew that he could no longer sit there and wait for death. He gritted his teeth, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and released his magic with all his strength. A huge blue beam shot out from his hand like lightning. The beam contained endless magic power and flew straight towards the octopus with an unstoppable momentum. When the beam collided with the octopus, a loud noise shook the earth, and the light was overflowing, as if a small bomb exploded on the battlefield.

Everyone watched the battlefield nervously, their eyes unblinking, their hearts full of expectation, hoping that this attack could cause fatal damage to the octopus monster. However, reality once again dealt them a heavy blow. The octopus monster only paused for a moment, and then continued to move forward with heavy steps. Although its body was hit by the beam, it did not suffer any substantial damage. Its strong defense shocked everyone.

"This guy's defense is amazing!" Alpha gritted his teeth, a solemn look on his face, "We must find a way to break through its defense." He quickly thought of a countermeasure in his mind, his eyes constantly scanning the battlefield, trying to find the octopus monster's weakness.

At this critical moment, the monkey's loud shout was like a ray of light, breaking the tense and oppressive atmosphere: "Everyone, look, its eyes!" Hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to the direction the monkey pointed. Sure enough, on the huge body of the octopus monster, the eyes are relatively weak, without the tough skin to protect it, it is the only weak point on its body.

"Concentrate fire on its eyes!" Alpha made a prompt decision and gave the order decisively. His voice was firm and powerful, like a horn on the battlefield, inspiring everyone's fighting spirit.

The Magic Spear Team and other people with long-range attack capabilities immediately responded to Alpha's command and launched a fierce attack. For a moment, the battlefield was full of light, and all kinds of gorgeous skills bloomed like fireworks. Everyone used all their skills, and countless lights and energies rushed towards the octopus monster's eyes like meteors, with a determination to fight to the death.

With a loud bang, a shell exploded precisely at the octopus monster's eye. Alpha looked for the sound and found that it was the sniper cyborg Fisher. This guy originally had extraordinary sniping ability with the advanced technology of the Pirate Alliance, and could hit every shot within 200 meters. Now with the blessing of Alpha's precise technology magic gun, he is even more powerful, and can easily hit targets within 500 meters, becoming a deadly killer on the battlefield.

Moreover, Fisher now has two magic guns, one is a 20-caliber, which is very powerful and is used to deal with these super monsters; the other is a 7mm caliber, which is relatively light and is used to deal with enemies with lower defense. In terms of sniping, only Lilia, a current member of the navy, can compete with him. But in terms of the overall quality of personal combat, Lilia is far inferior to Fisher, especially in terms of personal fighting spirit reserves. After all, the current magic guns need to consume a lot of fighting spirit. Even if Fisher uses a 20-caliber sniper rifle, he can only fire ten bullets continuously. However, when he uses a small-caliber sniper rifle, he can fire continuously, providing continuous firepower support for the battle.

The members of the Magic Gun Team cooperated well, and their attacks were as intensive as a storm, not giving the octopus any chance to breathe. The other long-range attackers were not to be outdone, and they all displayed their special skills, some releasing ice spikes, some summoning lightning, and various attack methods emerged one after another, contributing their own strength to defeating the octopus.

With everyone's concerted efforts, the octopus monster's eyes were severely injured. It struggled painfully, and its tentacles, which had been waving freely, became a little slow, and its originally powerful strength gradually weakened. Its body began to shake, and it let out painful roars, as if it was unwilling to accept its fate.

Seeing this, Alpha felt a glimmer of hope, knowing that victory was in sight. He commanded the battle more excitedly, and encouraged everyone to make a concerted effort to completely destroy the octopus monster: "Everyone, work harder, victory is just around the corner!" The morale of the crowd was ignited again, and the attack became more fierce.

However, just when everyone thought victory was in sight, an accident happened. When one of the octopus monster's eyes was injured, it fell into a violent state. It actually closed its eyes, and its huge tentacles slapped the ground frantically, shaking the ground for a while, which was extremely terrifying. Every time the tentacles slapped, huge cracks appeared on the ground, and dust flew everywhere, as if the end of the world had come.

"Lord Apollo, this guy is rolling around and making excuses. He says he doesn't want to fight anymore, he wants to go home, he's hungry." The information sent by the monkey made people laugh and cry. This sudden situation made everyone a little overwhelmed, and the originally fierce battle instantly fell into a strange stalemate.

Alpha didn't want to fight the octopus head-on. If they could resolve the situation peacefully, that would be the best. So Alpha made a prompt decision and issued an order: "Stop attacking and retreat one kilometer." Upon hearing this, everyone was full of doubts, but they quickly executed the order and slowly retreated.

However, at this moment, things changed again. A melodious piano sound suddenly rang out around them. This piano sound was like an invisible force. As the sound spread, the octopus, which had huddled into a ball, became violent again. Its tentacles waved more wildly, and its power seemed to be stronger than before.

Alpha realized instantly that there must be someone controlling the octopus monster. Alpha made a prompt decision and ordered Monkey to lead people to find the guy controlling the octopus monster. At the same time, he asked Fisher to pay attention to the hidden enemy and be ready to give a fatal blow at any time. The others continued to attack, not giving the octopus monster a chance to breathe.

At this moment, a huge fireball fell from the sky and hit the octopus monster like a meteorite. This was Darwin's super magic. The previous magic had little effect on the octopus monster. This time he did not hold back at all and went all out. In an instant, the octopus monster was engulfed by the flames and let out a painful howl. The flames burned on its body, illuminating the entire battlefield and giving everyone hope of victory.
