Even with his Willpower at 40 points, Xiao Bei felt his mind swirl and dizziness overtake him when he looked at those eyes.
There was no doubt that the Thousand Eyed Devil had taken the opportunity of their crossing eyes to launch an attack at Xiao Bei. There were still five hundred meters between them.
Fortunately, Xiao Bei’s [Indomitable Spirit] activated as the Thousand Eyed Devil attacked him. That sense of dizziness faded in an instant and he regained clarity of mind.
How powerful!
Xiao Bei immediately recovered and realized the might of this Thousand Eyed Devil.
He had to admit that this move alone could allow it to defeat most Three-Star creatures.
Xiao Bei did not charge over, as this was a lake. If he got too deep into the water, his chance of victory against it would instantly drop from sixty percent to less than 30!
Of course, this percentage was only a calculation obtained through the status panel. In actuality, Xiao Bei’s chance of winning should be higher. After all, his martial arts and his aura were not included in the status panel. This meant that his overall fighting power was higher than what was displayed in the panel.
However, much like mentioned earlier, Xiao Bei was no idiot. He would not strike actively. He simply waited in the waist-high water for the Thousand Eyed Devil to approach.
He guessed right.
Though its speed in water was shocking, this mountain of a monster abruptly started decelerating one hundred meters away from Xiao Bei, as if it had run into a wall.
Splash!
A series of splashes rang out and he watched on in surprise at the Thousand Eyed Devil as its body emerged from the lake.
As its whale-like body left the surface of the lake, what was revealed beneath was a mess of squid-like tentacles. A mouth grew at the edge of each tentacle and more slender tentacles writhed about around the larger tentacles.
Either way, this Thousand Eyed Devil had tentacles growing on top of its hundreds of larger tentacles.
There were then smaller tentacles growing on top of the tentacles. In total, there were probably tens of thousands of tentacles.
It was an especially disgusting sight to watch this amalgamation of tentacles emerge from the lake.
Wei Xiao Bei felt even more disgusted than when he looked at the eyes on its body.
The combat description even described it in this manner:
Thousand Eyed Devil’s passive attack activates, Visual Disgust Attack.
.....
As the host’s willpower is over twenty points, the host is immune to this attack.
...
Well, even the description said so. This meant that any creature that saw the tentacles would have to endure the damage from this so-called Visual Disgust Attack if their willpower was below twenty points!
Naturally, Xiao Bei had no idea what the effect of being affected by this Visual Disgust Attack was, and he would never want to experience it.
The tentacles pushed the Thousand Eyed Devil higher and higher. Once it was twenty meters above the lake, the Thousand Eyed Devil moved and its thousands of tentacles swarmed toward Xiao Bei like a tide. It himself also started moving forward.
There was no doubt that it had already prepared to engage Xiao Bei in a melee when its illusion attacks did not work.
Xiao Bei felt like he had underestimated this Thousand Eyed Devil. Just this mess of tentacles would have killed most Two-Star Terror Creatures.
Of course, they were still not quite enough to deal with him.
As the tentacles surged forward across the surface of the lake, they parted the waters. When they were twenty meters away from Xiao Bei, they suddenly stood up straight and crashed down upon him like a massive wave.
Xiao Bei was no fool. He wouldn’t wait for these tentacles to reach him. He kicked with his legs and immediately jumped out of the water. He then stepped on the surface of the water and returned to the shore.
Fighting the Thousand Eyed Devil in waist-high water was undoubtedly just giving away his advantage to the opponent for no reason.
Just as he returned to the shore, Xiao Bei waved his right hand and a handful of sharpened rocks shot toward the tentacles like a storm.
Pupupupupupupu!
Whistling sounds rang across the air, quickly followed by the sound of stones piercing flesh.
The forest of tentacles was the best target for the stones. In the blink of an eye, the tentacles at the very front had all been penetrated by the stones, wounds appeared all over the tentacles. Some of the stones continued shooting forward, only stopping after piercing through seven or eight tentacles and digging into another.
This was the limit of what Xiao Bei could do now.
Even so, the tentacles that the stones pierced through had gone limp.
There was no doubt that the Thousand Eyed Devil did not have as strong a body as other monsters. At the very least, one hundred of its tentacles were incapacitated after a single attack from Xiao Bei.
This attack infuriated it. All the eyes around its body quickly closed and opened once more. A yellow radiance much like the sun at dusk shot out of all its eyes, turning its surroundings into a sea of light.
Under such circumstances, Xiao Bei couldn’t even open his eyes. Intense dizziness flooded his mind the moment he did so.
Fortunately, with the [Indomitable Spirit] ability, his mind was always awake. Moreover, with the help of [Response Search], he could take in his surroundings through his mind.
After forcing Xiao Bei into a state of blindness, it charged up the shore and its tentacles straightened. The mouths on the tentacles opened up wide, revealing sharp teeth as they lunged at Xiao Bei like serpents.
Dealing with a monster like the Thousand Eyed Devil was quite troublesome. It was like fighting against an enemy with several thousands of arms.
The spear in his hand swept across and a ripple spread through the air, bouncing back several dozens of the tentacles. However, the next moment, more tentacles lunged forward and wrapped around the spear.
Even though the spear immediately shot forward and stabbed multiple times in succession, piercing several of the tentacles as it did so, Xiao Bei could not prevent it from being entangled by the tentacles.
He couldn’t help but frown. A blue light sparked from his hands as once again a stream of electricity raced across the handle of the spear.
Shocked by this two-thousand-volt current, the tentacles wrapped around the spear and spasmed, letting go of it.
Attacking the Thousand Eyed Devil through the tentacles with a spear alone was impossible for Xiao Bei.
Whenever he charged forward, the tentacles would wrap about him. Even if his body was very tough and sturdy, he didn’t dare let the tentacles wrap around him. Even an uber-powerful Three Star Terror Creature would be completely bound and rendered immobile when going up against all these tentacles, their mouths and their suction plates.
Shua shua shua!
Xiao Bei charged forward and drew the tentacles toward him. The next instant, he rapidly changed direction, avoiding the attack of the tentacles. He waved his left hand and a sharp T-rex blade shot out of his hand, crossing 40 meters of distance in a single breath and piercing an eye of the Thousand Eyed Devil.
Like a balloon being popped with a needle, the eye glowing with blinding yellow light immediately erupted.
“Ao! ”
The Thousand Eyed Devil let out a pained cry for the first time.
The eye should be the weakest part for any monster and the organ that hurt the most when attacked. There was no target as equally exploitable.
This was even more so the case for the Thousand Eyed Devil.
The agony of having one eye pierced almost made it go insane.
Thousands of tentacles instantly reached out of the lake and extended toward the sky, before crashing down upon the lakeside. They didn’t even care if they had hit Xiao Bei, and simply ravaged everything in sight. The reed, the dirt, and even the rocks were being crushed to pieces.
Compared to the berserk Thousand Eyed Devil, Xiao Bei was much, much calmer.
While the Thousand Eyed Devil was destroying the lakeside in its frenzy, he was already approaching it from the lake.
Once he was twenty meters away from it, his speed increased even further, going so fast that he was walking on water.
A sharp spear stabbed its body at this moment and caused another eye to rupture. The next moment, the spear shook and with this rippling force, the sharp tip of the spear created a destructive wound on the body of the Thousand Eyed Devil. It was like a bomb had been stuffed into the wound and detonated.
All the flesh from that wound vanished, revealing a hole 30 centimeters in radius with a depth of a meter. Yellow liquid burst forth from the gaping injury.
This blow undoubtedly inflicted unimaginable pain on the Thousand Eyed Devil.
By the time the Thousand Eyed Devil retracted its tentacle and attempted to drive Xiao Bei away from its body, Xiao Bei had already created three more gaping wounds.
As the thousands of tentacles spread out and drove Xiao Bei away, another T-rex dagger shot out of his hands.
His Fake Concealed Weapon of the Greater Heights level allowed him to hit a target the size of an eye as long as he was within fifty meters of it. A monster like it who had eyes everywhere was an easy target. He didn’t even need to aim. He simply threw it within its range and he could easily hit an eye.
These T-rex daggers instantly shattered the eyeballs with overwhelming force and embedded themselves half a meter deep into its body.
The Thousand Eyed Devil was very large. If one were to trim away all of its tentacles, it would still be 30 meters wide and tall. It was like a small island on the surface of the lake.
However, this dagger digging half a meter into its body still caused pretty serious damage to it.
Xiao Bei had already shot out over three dozen daggers at it. Though ten of these were intercepted by the tentacles, the water around it had already turned dirt-yellow, as if it was common mud.
However, Xiao Bei knew that its blood was yellow and this scene was a sign that it was badly wounded and bleeding.
