I didn't expect that I was the heartthrob.

Gu Lan and Ji Yanli had no idea what the giant octopus was thinking. Although they were on guard, they still looked down on the giant octopus. They did not think that the giant octopus was powerful enough to hurt a monk.

Seeing that the giant octopus was looking for something, Gu Lan moved closer to Ji Yanli.

"What is the name of the sword used by the Immortal Zhining?"

Gu Lan asked quietly.

Ji Yanli shook his head slightly, "I have never heard of what the magic weapon of the Immortal Zhining is. Maybe it is not a magic sword at all." Ji Yanli glanced at the giant octopus, feeling a little uneasy, and said, "But I think there is something wrong with this giant octopus. Why don't we just run away."

"It's okay. This giant octopus has lived for ten thousand years but has never transformed into a human. There is nothing to be afraid of. If we can't even handle an octopus, how can we walk around in the martial arts world with dignity?"

Although Gu Lan also felt something was wrong, she refused to give up easily. Besides, she really felt that the giant octopus was not a difficult problem.

The real problem is the pair of evil and cold eyes at the beginning. I wonder what that is.

Ji Yanli shook his head. "I'm not kidding. Look, this giant octopus obviously doesn't want to let us go. It has even blocked the road."

As he spoke, Ji Yanli pointed around. The giant octopus' tentacles were large and thick, surrounding each other and forming a hundred-foot-high flesh wall.

Gu Lan looked around and frowned. She was too excited just now and kept asking questions, and was unaware of the changes around her. Now it seems that the giant octopus really has ulterior motives.

"I'm sorry." Gu Lan said with a guilty conscience, "I was not careful for a moment, so it's a bit difficult to deal with. Can you still use the earth escape technique? Why don't you try it first to see if you can leave. If you can leave, go first. I'll wait for the giant octopus to get the magic sword and then see what happens."

When Ji Yanli heard that she wanted to stay, he thought that she was going to put herself in danger again.

It’s not like Gu Lan hasn’t done this before.

She did it with ease, completely ignoring the concerns of others.

The immortal Zhining was just a legendary figure, and had nothing to do with her, so why did she want to ask the giant octopus? What was the purpose of risking her life like this?

Ji Yanli was a little angry for a moment. He felt that Gu Lan disregarded his own safety and put himself in danger, and also wanted to send him away. Was he treating him as an outsider?

Is he so useless in her heart? Would he rather give her up than face the danger?

Ji Yanli was furious for a moment, and spoke quickly and urgently, with a tone of reproach that he could not suppress, "The Immortal Zhining lived ten thousand years ago. Even if the giant octopus has lived ten thousand years, can it really remember everything? There is no guarantee that it will not lie to you. Besides, there has never been any documented record of this Shenying attendant. What exists is just unofficial history and legends. Don't take it seriously. Maybe the giant octopus made it up to deceive you!"

Gu Lan was a little surprised at Ji Yanli's excitement. For a moment, she didn't know what to say and was stunned.

At this time, the giant octopus used its tentacles to throw out a huge golden net.

The golden net spun rapidly. Gu Lan and Ji Yanli knew something was wrong. They ignored what had just happened and tried to leave, but suddenly they found that they could not move at all, as if they were under a spell.

The golden net expanded after covering the two of them, forming a semicircle with the two of them as the center, and then danced and rotated in the air in a spiral shape. The golden light it emitted was like a golden cage that tightly bound Ji Yanli and Gu Lan.

The giant octopus laughed when he saw the two people were covered by the golden net. "It is impossible that the immortal Zhining is still alive. I tested you just now, but you said he was still alive? How is that possible? Shen Ying waiter, don't you know that the five decays of celestial beings are irreversible? The magic grass can only delay it, but it can't delay it for ten thousand years! You are fooled too easily. Although I am dull, I am not a fool. You kept asking me to recall the things on Blue Star, but I have already told you about the things on Blue Star. You keep asking so relentlessly. Don't you mean you are not Shen Ying waiter? You pretended to be Shen Ying waiter to trick me? Hahaha, it's just right. You gave me enough time to prepare. Thank you so much!"

After saying this with a smile, the big octopus waved its tentacles away, revealing that behind the tentacles were densely packed with octopuses of various sizes. They were like hungry locusts, with greedy eyes wide open and squeaking.

The giant octopus patted them and said helplessly, "Be patient, my descendants! Since that fat-headed ghost came, there haven't been many fish left, let alone monks. Now that we have caught these two monks, even though they are skinny, they can at least fill your stomachs! After the golden net absorbs all their spiritual power, you can enjoy them together."

After saying that, the octopuses became even more excited. Their restless tentacles tangled together, and their heads became sharp. Hundreds of octopuses of all sizes were ready to go, with their tentacles entangled and their screams weaving into a terrifying scene that made one's scalp tingle.

Gu Lan's face changed. It was impossible to kill all these octopuses, not to mention that he was now covered by the golden net. Once his spiritual power was exhausted, wouldn't he be eaten alive by these beasts? !

Thinking of this, Gu Lan regretted it deeply.

A pair of bright eyes glared at the giant octopus fiercely. She didn't expect that her cleverness would backfire and she underestimated the enemy!

She didn't expect the giant octopus to be so cunning. She originally wanted to ask more about the past, maybe she could get some clues about the Immortal Zhining. When she learned that the giant octopus might be her fellow villager, she felt very close to him. However, she didn't expect that this was a delaying tactic of the giant octopus. Now she was trapped in the golden net by the giant octopus and was being used as food!

Outrageous!

How could Gu Lan just sit there and wait for death? Without waiting for Ji Yanli to stop him, he took a deep breath, turned around and flew up. At the same time, he sacrificed his shadow and threw out the blasting talisman. As several blasting talismans exploded, Gu Lan's shadow hit the top of the golden net. After several back and forths, the top of the golden net was safe and sound.

Gu Lan's breath was choked, and she felt a dull pain in her chest. Her whole body was already limp and weak, and she even felt dizzy. She had to fly down, but her spiritual power was lost too quickly. As soon as Gu Lan landed on the ground, she felt her legs and feet go weak, and she couldn't even stand, and fell to one side.

Ji Yanli, who was standing next to her, was quick to act and supported her.

Gu Lan was shocked.

He was shocked to realize that the situation was quite dangerous at the moment, and he couldn't help but feel anxious. His throat felt sweet and he actually spat out a mouthful of blood.

Ji Yanli quickly placed his palm against Gu Lan's back, transmitting spiritual energy.

He was still angry just now, but when he saw Gu Lan like this, he couldn't help but blame himself. Now Ji Yanli calmed down.

While transmitting spiritual power to support Gu Lan, he said, "I don't know which cultivator this golden net belongs to. It is specialized in absorbing spiritual power. The spiritual power you used just now not only did not hurt it, but it also absorbed a lot of it. Don't waste your energy, and take back Zhaoying." Ji Yanli saw that Gu Lan was frowning, and knew that she was anxious, so he comforted her.

"Don't worry. There is always a way out. If you and I fall into this place, Senior Sister Ruan and Shan Ling will definitely not leave us to die. They may be trying to find us right now. As long as we hold on, they will come and kill the giant octopus and we will be fine."

Gu Lan nodded slightly, swallowed the blood in his mouth, raised his hand, put away the photo, and whispered to himself, "I'm sorry, because I put you in danger again."

Hearing Gu Lan's words, Ji Yanli just sighed slightly.

Gu Lan would never choose to rely on him first at any time. She was always calm, strong, stubborn and distant.

Seeing that Gu Lan looked better, he followed her words and said, "What you said is not right. For cultivators, danger is a blessing. Why blame yourself? Besides, my cultivation has been too smooth. I should have seen more dangers and tempered myself. Being with you... encountering dangers is also an experience. This is something that no one can ask for. Don't worry, my family calculated for me when I was born. I have great fortune and destiny, and I have a good fate with immortals. I have the sign of ascending to immortality."

Gu Lan knew that he was comforting herself, but she also felt relieved by his words.

The two of them were talking quietly together, but in the eyes of the giant octopus they were plotting their escape, so it responded with pride and sarcasm.

"Don't waste your energy. The immortal sword can't pierce my golden net. You should know that my golden net is the only magic weapon of Dachun Sect. I stole this net when I escaped. I don't know how many monks were trapped to death by this net. Those monks have much higher cultivation than you, but they still can't break through. With your strength, haha, that's even more impossible!"

The giant octopus was confident and looked them up and down with ill intent.

But in the next moment, the giant octopus's whole body suddenly tensed up. One of its eyes stared at Gu Lan and Ji Yanli, while the other eye seemed to have caught something and suddenly flew away.

Ji Yanli and Gu Lan looked at each other suddenly. They suddenly felt the pair of evil eyes from before, and it turned out that it was not an illusion of theirs!

It's coming again!

Apparently the big octopus also felt it, and it nervously used its tentacles to gather the big and small octopuses behind it.

"Fat-headed ghost!" The giant octopus roared angrily, and swung out several tentacles at the same time, with a rumbling sound that continued to be heard.

Gu Lan and Ji Yanli were hit by the rushing water and almost couldn't stand steadily.

Those big and small octopuses lost the protection of the big octopus and disappeared in an instant like loaches. No one had time to even look at the food on the plate and they all hurried to escape.

Gu Lan and Ji Yanli really didn't understand what the fat-headed ghost the giant octopus was talking about. It was dark and unclear in the distance, so they couldn't see clearly. They had to move closer to the edge of the golden net and try hard to see what was going on.

Following a few muffled rumbling sounds and a burst of roars, the giant octopus screamed and a huge tentacle was swung over.

As the tentacle landed on the ground, Gu Lan and Ji Yanli saw a giant fang on the tentacle flashing with cold light.
