Chapter 4040 Finally Escaped

On the raft, we couldn't just lie down and sleep soundly. We mostly meditated, practicing and resting at the same time, which actually helped us recover our strength faster.

In the middle of the night, we were all meditating on the raft when I felt a chill under my buttocks, as if I had wet my pants.

Opening my eyes and looking down, I saw that the raft had become entangled with a lot of water plants, which had dragged it down considerably.

At this moment, everyone was awakened and quickly got up to look down at the raft. The slovenly Taoist priest even activated his Green Soul Power, trying to control the water plants, but found that he couldn't control them at all.

Left with no other choice, we could only keep swinging our magic swords to cut down the water plants, but as soon as we cut them down, new water plants would entangle the raft again, and our feet were already submerged in water.

Master Zhiqing, carrying his magic sword, looked solemnly at the water and suddenly said loudly, "Friends from the Di people, I am from another region and am passing through this place. I hope you will be lenient with us and not make things difficult for us. Please let us pass. If you do not listen, I will be very impolite to you!"

These Di people are really something. We were just passing through their territory, ate some fish caught by a slovenly Taoist priest, and didn't do anything to offend them, yet they're already trying to attack us so quickly.

It seems that Chief Wukan was right after all; this kingdom in the Fire Domain does indeed dislike outsiders stepping into their territory.

Since we've run into them, there's nothing we can do. Reasoning won't work, and we'll have to resort to physical violence to subdue them.

However, our raft was entangled by a lot of water plants, and we did not see the people of the Di people.

Before long, the raft was pulled down, and the water was already above our knees.

"Since they intend to take our lives, let's not hold back, kill anyone who blocks our way!" Li Chao snorted coldly, and his flying sword immediately hovered above his head, buzzing.

This is a real flying sword, and its destructive power is quite terrifying.

When the water was almost up to our waists, suddenly, some tentacles like octopuses wrapped around us. One of the tentacles wrapped around my ankle and then pulled me into the deep water.

The water wasn't cold at all, and I opened my eyes quickly after being dragged into it.

Then they saw a huge monster with dozens of tentacles, constantly waving around.

This thing really looks like an octopus, with three huge heads. Not only did its tentacles entangle me, but the slovenly Taoist priest and Brother Gu were also entangled by the monster's tentacles.

After the monster entangled us, it kept dragging us toward the deeper water.

I glanced around and saw that Master Zhiqing and Zhang Qing'an were not entangled by the monster. They were wielding their magic swords and had even severed two of the monster's tentacles. After the tentacles were severed, black liquid spurted out, making the water area very turbid.

I also brandished the Shengxie Sword in my hand, trying to cut off the tentacles, but the tentacles were very flexible and powerful. They wrapped around my legs and kept swaying in the water, making it impossible for me to find a suitable angle.

Just as the monster was dragging us rapidly underwater, I finally saw the people of the Di people appear.

These Di people were much larger than normal people, at least two and a half meters tall, and very strong. They were even carrying magical artifacts made of sharp bones. They moved very fast and surrounded us.

There were more than a dozen Di people rushing towards me. They were all men, and they were very ugly. Although they had human faces, they were very ferocious, with blue faces and fangs, and some of them looked like demons.

The weapons in their hands were like huge fish bones, and extremely sharp.

At this moment, both my feet were entangled by the monster, and I couldn't move at all.

Seeing the Di people rushing towards me menacingly, I had no choice but to strike the Heavenly Gang Seal and release Zi Ba and the divine beast Gong Fu to help me.

As soon as Ziba appeared, he charged towards the Di people.

When the people of the Di people saw Zi Ba appear, their eyes showed fear, but they still gritted their teeth and rushed forward.

In the blink of an eye, Ziba bit the neck of a Di person, and the person's head fell off.

The magical artifacts held by the Di people were like tickling Zi Ba when they were stuck into him. He had thick scales on his body and was a top-grade zombie with an exceptionally tough body.

Ziba quickly killed one of them, then brandished its sharp claws and launched an attack on the rest of the Di people.

The claws slashed across, leaving deep cuts on the bodies of those people, exposing the bones.

The divine beast, the Centipede Viper, was not idle either. After it appeared, it rushed straight towards the monster that was entangled with us.

Before the centipede could even get close, the octopus-like monster trembled with fear.

It felt like a mouse seeing a cat; it was a natural sense of suppression.

It was precisely because of the intimidating power of the centipede that the monster shuddered, and the tentacles that were wrapped around my legs loosened a little. I finally found an opportunity, and with a heavy slash of the Shengxie Sword, I severed the tentacles.

At the same time I released the centipede and the serpent, the slovenly Taoist priest also released his tiger-dragon.

The tiger-dragon was much larger and more lethal. With a tiger's head and a snake's tail, and covered in scales, it rampaged through the water, scattering the Di people who approached it.

Little Fatty's Fei Yi displayed even greater power, with six legs and four wings, resembling a giant python in the water.

When these mythical beasts stirred things up in the water, it was truly a cataclysmic upheaval, turning the world upside down.

In addition, Master Zhiqing and Zhang Qing'an arrived and stopped the Di people, engaging them in a fierce battle.

Although these Di people are fierce, they are still much weaker than us.

This commotion resulted in the immediate elimination of over twenty Di people. The remaining people, seeing the situation was dire, turned and dived into the deep water, quickly disappearing from sight.

Even the monster with many tentacles followed the Di people down into the depths.

We were finally able to escape, resurface, and return to the raft we had been on.

As soon as they went up there, the slovenly Taoist priest said angrily, "This matter cannot be left like this. They made a move, and we killed a lot of people from the Di people. Next, they will definitely launch another sneak attack on us. Why don't we just go straight to their stronghold and completely defeat them?"
