Then he carried Shen Nuo back to sleep.

The men who were on night watch were a little bit unconvinced when they heard Qin Yan say that there might be something in the lake.

Looking at Qin Yan's back, several people started a discussion.

"But we saw that the lake was fine during the day, how could there be something there?"

"Could it be that Qin Yan and the others saw it wrongly? We have been living by the lake for the past few days and didn't see anything."

"Well, it's just one night anyway, so let's just watch carefully."

In the end, there was a man who still felt that he should trust Qin Yan and the others.

"That's right. It's better to believe it than not to believe it. What if there really is something?"

"Okay, then we'll each guard one side tonight, and we must ring the gong if anything happens."

When he said that one person would guard one side, he actually meant guarding the people in Yunzhu Village.

The camps in Yunzhu Village were all close together, and the farthest away was the carriage of Qin Yan and Shen Nuo.

But their carriage was the farthest from the lake, so the night watchmen didn't need to guard that side.

Moreover, Qin Yan and Shen Nuo don't like to be disturbed, so the people who keep watch at night usually don't get too close to their carriage.

When Qin Yan got to the carriage, he looked back at them.

He heard everything that several people said.

Qin Yan didn't care whether they believed it or not. He had already reminded them, and it was their own choice as to what to do.

Without paying any attention to what was happening outside, Qin Yan hugged the sleeping Shen Nuo and lay down on the bed.

*

I don’t know how long it took.

A gong sounded, followed by screams one after another.

"Monster, ahhhh, run."

"Help, my father has been arrested, Dad, Dad."

When that person was crying, the others didn't dare to look back. They ran inside desperately, trying to get away from the lake.

"My mother was swept away, ahhhh, no."

“Ahh….”

When screams were heard, everyone in Yunzhu Village hurriedly ran back.

Some simply got into the carriage, hoping that the thing wouldn't see them.

Many disaster victims rested by the lake for the sake of convenience.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, the tent was suddenly destroyed by something.

Then, a few things like tentacles came and swept the people away.

"What is that? Ahhhh, help..."

Before the man could finish his words, he was strangled by the huge tentacle around the waist and lifted into the air.

"Ahhhhh, monster, run, monster."

"Help! Ahhh! There's a monster..."

The others looked at this scene in despair and felt their legs go weak.

Someone fell directly to the ground and was caught up by the huge tentacles before he could stand up.

More than a dozen tentacles stretched out from the lake and attacked the victims.

The victims fled in all directions, trying to escape the fate of being swept away.

However, this tentacle seemed to have eyes. Once it set its sights on a person, it would keep chasing him at an extremely fast speed.

With a huge sound of water, more than a dozen tentacles, each holding a person, sank into the lake.

Shen Nuo was awakened by the sound of gongs and screams.

At this time, Qin Yan was holding him in the carriage, and Qin Yan opened the curtain of the carriage a little.

Looking at the victims fleeing in all directions, he frowned.

He wrapped Shen Nuo in a thin blanket:

"Nono, I don't know what that thing is."

Qin Yan had never seen such huge tentacles. They didn’t look like snakes, nor like anything else.

Shen Nuo looked forward and saw Wang Zhe running towards him quickly, holding Meng Xiang, who was wrapped in a quilt, in his arms.

Behind them is a huge red tentacle with dense suction cups.

Shen Nuo's pupils suddenly shrank, and Qin Yan hugged him and wanted to hide in the carriage.

Shen Nuo was even faster. He took out a Tang sword from the space and threw it directly at the tentacles.

With a "puff" sound, the huge tentacle broke off.

"Don't be afraid, Yan. That thing won't come ashore."

He leaned out and saw Wang Zhe holding Meng Xiang and hiding near their carriage.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you, but I just have nowhere to hide."

Shen Nuo looked over there and saw the Tang sword that had been thrown to the ground. Next to the Tang sword was a tentacle that had been chopped off.

The tentacle was still jumping on the ground, and it looked to be more than one meter long.

He wanted to pull the quilt off his body, but Qin Yan held him down, then held him in his arms and whispered:

"My dear, you are only wearing underwear."

Shen Nuo:?

"Hey, I forgot."

Wang Zhe on the other side had already turned around with a look of understanding, and Shen Nuo and Meng Xiang were staring at each other.

"Why are you crying again?"

Shen Nuo looked at the child with tearful eyes and found it a little funny.

He was like a little adult before, but now he is just crying.

"No, no, I, I'm just sleepy...hiccup."

He spoke with a tearful tone and even hiccuped.

Shen Nuo wanted to laugh, but seeing how pitiful he was, he buried his face in Qin Yan and smiled secretly.

Qin Yan quickly carried him into the carriage and dressed him.

Listening to the huge sound of water outside and the shouts of the crowd, Shen Nuo knew that the thing must be coming again.

Sure enough, when Shen Nuo came out, the tentacles of that thing were chasing people.

"Cut its hands off. This thing must be a giant octopus."

Qin Yan didn’t know what an octopus was, but he knew it was right to listen to Nuonuo.

At this time, people from Yunzhu Village also ran here.

"Don't panic, just chop it with a knife."

Shen Nuo spoke loudly and saw a tentacle rushing towards him. He raised his hand and cut it off with a knife.

The broken tentacle shrank back instantly.

But this time it was not chopped very long, and Shen Nuo wanted to eat grilled octopus just by looking at it.

The people in Yunzhu Village reacted quickly and took out their weapons.

They were so frightened just now that they just ran away like everyone else.

I thought this monster was indestructible, but I didn't expect it could be chopped with a knife.

The other victims all ran over here. Qin Yan stood in front of Shen Nuo and cut off the tentacles that were extended again with one knife.

When the other people from Yunzhu Village saw this, they also followed suit and cut off those tentacles.

Until a few tentacles were cut off, the thing seemed to be afraid. The tentacles were dancing in the air, and it didn't dare to reach out.

Shen Nuo looked at the tentacles and said provocatively:

"Come on, I'm hungry, this grilled octopus leg is perfect for a midnight snack."

Qin Ruan and the others listened to Shen Nuo's words and suddenly looked at him in disbelief.

"Is this edible?"

The monster seemed to have heard something and its dancing tentacles paused.

"Why not? This stuff smells so good."

After saying that, Shen Nuo picked up the tentacle that was still struggling on the ground and cut it with Qin Yan's knife.

"Let's grill it while there's still charcoal fire."

He directly put the octopus leg slices with a knife and fork into the charcoal fire. The octopus legs soon made a sizzling sound, followed by the aroma of grilled octopus.
