Lord of Enigma

Chapter 78: Nightmare Octopus

Chapter 78: Nightmare Octopus

Campus, small brick building, the second-floor bedroom.

Tang Qi was sitting cross-legged on the carpet. He didn't even have the time to change his clothes.

By this time, he was in meditation.

In the familiar dark ruins, a golden sun was slowly taking shape. The ancient textures were outlined bit by bit. At the moment of forming, a stream of golden dots flowed from all directions. Some were thick and others were as fine as smoke.

They were Tang Qi's harvest tonight, contributed by a group of ghouls, evil spirits, and three big monsters.

When they became a part of his mental power, the feeling of bulging and depression quickly disappeared, and a strong, warm feeling emerged, which made him feel that he didn't need the Mist Body, the Blood Python One, or even his Chaga Fighting Skill to kill the three big strange creatures, and can do it with only one punch.

This was of course an illusion, a beautiful illusion.

But he could look forward to the growth of his skills after waking up.

However, as he was looking forward to it, an unexpected accident suddenly happened.

"Roar ~"

A muffled roar suddenly sounded.

The source was from beyond the crack.

Every time he practiced meditation, he would have a weird experience, he gradually became accustomed to it, and would occasionally watch it with appreciation.

But this time, it was different.

Outside the crack was a seemingly endless and strange universe, but what he had seen in the past, were mostly abstract existences like distorted polar lights, flowing black fog, hazy shadows, enchanting whispers, but this time, what flashed past was clearly some huge creature.

It started rapidly devouring the oddities that should've flowed into the cracks. Whether it was the fog or the aurora, they were all held by its tentacles. Then into a large mouth covered with layers of white teeth forming clockwise. The last layer couldn't be seen at all.

Boom!

Rumble!

The terrible malice surged over without warning, like a steel needle that pierced Tang Qi's head, and began to stir his brain.

"Bang ~ Bang!"

When the golden sun conceived by Tang Qi swayed due to malice and became blurry, outside the gap, two huge tentacles suddenly came in from the crack, and a huge crimson eye appeared in the crack, which was much bigger than the golden sun.

Inside, Tang Qi saw malice and greed.

Does it regard me as a tempting snack?

After murmuring this sentence, his head began to ring.

In the outside world, his entire body lay on the carpet of the bedroom, and he felt as if someone was constantly pounding his skull with a hammer. At the same time, there were countless lunatics, pulling his ears and shouting through it. They were crazy and chaotic, and each syllable was very unfamiliar. Once he wanted to hear it clearly, the tremors on his head would become more serious.

Tang Qi didn't want to hear it distinctly, he was now fully focused on condensing his mental power.

The last experience prevented him from falling into confusion, he began to meditate again in his mind.

This time, Tang Qi was even more daring. The picture in his mind was: the barren earth, the dark universe, a primitive youth, he was holding a wooden stick and was drawing a huge pattern on the yellow earth. Every stroke was very taxing, but his pace was extremely firm.

He bowed his head, as if the pattern that was forming beneath his feet was the whole world, and all his conviction.

When he drew the last stroke, the strange monster once again stretched out his tentacles. While the rest of its body was too large and seemed to be stuck in the gap.

Boom ~ Boom!

Three black tentacles surged toward the golden sun transformed by Tang Qi, when

Buzz!

Without warning, the golden sun, which was shaking endlessly and seemed to be about to dissipate. At this moment, the golden sun expanded several times over. The cramped closed space was completely filled with golden flames, and the three tentacles evaporated in an instant. The ashes turned into three streams of thick golden light that silently merged into his mind.

The crimson eye was about to retreat the moment the golden sun soared, but it was still a step too late. The golden flame swept out and turned most of the eyeball scorching black.

Roar!

A roar of terror and anger came from outside the crack, and Tang Qi's meditation state was forcibly broken.

"Hoo ~ Hoo"

On the soft moon pattern carpet, Tang Qi woke up abruptly.

At this moment, all the clothes on his body were soaked with sweat. And he was in a weird feeling of fullness and exhaustion. The corners of his mouth pulled out a smile. He suddenly relaxed and collapsed on the carpet, laughing happily.

"I won!"

Tang Qi's lips moved slightly, in silence.

Before leaving the meditation state, he saw the last scene outside the crack, which was the scene of a huge fleeing shadow.

Some pieces of information were also captured by Tang Qi.

Outer strange creature___The Nightmare Octopus!

The Nightmare Octopus was fleeing!

He had been marked by the octopus asinedible!

This mark could be recognized by similar nightmare monsters!

"So, it really treated me as food?"

He slowly stood up, the unexpected scene that he experienced during meditation still lingered in his mind.

He just used his meditation method to digest those "fuels", but he encountered a scary monster. From the information fragments, it must've accidentally passed by, got attracted by the golden sun transformed by Tang Qi, and then suffered a setback before leaving. At the same time, marking Tang Qi as inedible.

And this mark was recognized by its kind.

"This was a blessing in disguise, and it far exceeded his expectations."

Tang Qi murmured with a joyful look on his face.

The previous experience was indeed worth celebrating. Maybe from the very beginning, he wouldn't have been eaten by the octopus. After all, its body was too large to pass through the narrow crack, but if Tang Qi hadn't broken out, injuries would've been unavoidable.

He successfully fought back and even intercepted the spoils, which was beyond his imagination.

Tang Qi felt the changes in his body. He lowered his eyes and looked at himself.

Under his special ability, the interface with his personal attributes emerged again.

He Ignored the rest and his eyes fell directly on the skills.

Every skill had undergone incredible changes.

The first one to jump out was the Golden Furnace Meditation Method.

[Golden Furnace Mediation Method: An incomparably ancient meditation technique, it can bring you power beyond imagination, realm: entry; progress: 9%. ]

"Nine percent!"

Tang Qi's eyes flashed with surprise.

If he remembered correctly, his previous progress was still a little more than one percent.

This harvest, isn't it scary?

"No, this may be what I've got from the accident, the three tentacles of the Nightmare Octopus should've each contributed nearly 2% of progress, and the harvest of Georgeville Village increased it by up to 3% at most. "

"If I reach ten percent, there will be some wonderful changes."

The second thought came a little bit inexplicably.

But somehow, Tang Qi had a hunch that it was true. Just like the progress of the secret pharmacy, after reaching a higher level, one would be able to obtain the secret medicine of the following sequence. There should also be some changes to the meditation method, but the changes were temporarily unknown.
