Chapter 209 The Rise of the Water System
However, if you want the crystal core of this giant octopus, you have to kill it first.
But this octopus will devour all the skills that are thrown at it, so ordinary attack methods are useless. What can we do?
Zhou Yang's brows furrowed in distress.
Looking at the giant octopus, he racked his brains for a long time trying to figure out its possible weaknesses. For some reason, he suddenly thought of jellyfish and had a flash of inspiration.
Yeah, isn't this thing similar to a jellyfish?
Most of them are water; they will die soon after being removed from water.
Even though they have mutated and will not be in danger of dying after being out of water for a period of time, water is still essential for the survival of these organisms.
Therefore, they can completely use water to control it!
Upon realizing this, Zhou Yang immediately became excited and then shared the plan with Lu Yanwen and the other two.
Lu Yanwen and Xu Qingtang immediately thought the idea was reliable.
Upon hearing that he was needed to take charge this time, Lu Xingye straightened his back and became extremely proud.
After the four of them discussed it, Zhou Yang took Lu Xingye to find Zhou Qi and explained the plan to him again.
"Give me all the water-type ability users, and then you and the others will help the base chief evacuate the refugees."
Zhou Qi agreed immediately after thinking for less than a minute.
He then immediately summoned all of Zhou Yang's level 4 water-type ability users.
"All the water-type ability users above level 4 who were brought out from the base this time are here. See if that's enough. If not, I'll ask the people at the Shanghai base for more."
"That should be enough." Zhou Yang glanced around; there were over thirty water-type ability users. Thinking it should be sufficient, he shook his head. "I'll trouble you all to come up with me in a bit and do your best to drain the water from the giant octopus's body. Thank you!"
"Young man, you're too kind. It's my pleasure!"
"Hehe, I never imagined that one day we water-type ability users would be needed to conquer the world!"
……
The group of water-based ability users were very excited and full of fighting spirit, showing a kind of momentum that they had finally risen up under pressure.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Zhou Yang stopped dawdling and led Lu Xingye and the other water-type characters to the city wall.
As soon as they went up, Pea, who was originally with Shen Zechuan and helping him breathe fire, stopped immediately upon hearing the familiar footsteps and turned to call out in Zhou Yang's direction.
This shout caught the attention of Yan Fei and the others who were temporarily relieved and resting, and they looked over.
At a glance, they spotted Zhou Yang and Lu Xingye leading a group of Level 4 ability users, and apart from Zhou Yang, the others were all water-type ability users.
Noticing this, everyone frowned.
Of the group, only Chi Feng smiled slightly.
He had just realized that this giant octopus could swallow abilities, and he was thinking of suggesting that they find a group of water-type ability users to deal with this big guy.
After all, that's how they dealt with mutated marine creatures in their previous life. However, back then, they were all level seven or eight water-type ability users, so one or two were enough. Now, they would probably need a whole bunch.
However, he wasn't familiar with the other people here, and it wasn't good for him to expose himself directly, so he didn't ask Zhou Xian to call for reinforcements.
Fortunately, Zhou Yang's mind works pretty fast.
……
As the people drew closer, Yan Fei looked at Lu Xingye and the others, his face darkening: "Why did you come up here? It's dangerous here, go down first!"
"Tch, it's not like you're the only one who can fight monsters!" Lu Xingye put his hands on his hips and turned to look at the giant octopus beside him. "Yangyang said we're here to deal with the giant octopus and rescue you little weaklings while we're at it! ╭(╯^╰)╮Hmph!"
Shen Zechuan, one of the small fry who had just unleashed a wave of lightning that brought the giant octopus to a temporary halt: ...
Level 6 Pa Caichi Feng: ...
Yan Fei, Zhou Xian, and several other peak level four and level five noobs: ...
After hearing Lu Xingye's explanation, the group was somewhat bewildered, and then they all turned to look at Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang felt a chill run down his spine after being inexplicably blamed by Lu Xingye and turned his back on her. He waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "I never said you guys were nobodies! But it's true that we came to rescue you."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes instantly shifted from accusation to starry-eyed wonder.
Shen Zechuan: "Yangyang, do you have any ideas on how to deal with this octopus?"
Zhou Yang nodded: "That's right. When I first came here, I saw that it swallowed most of the skills you guys used. It probably even swallowed the flying blades that Yan Fei used, right?"
Shen Zechuan and the others nodded in unison.
Chi Feng stroked his chin and said, "Indeed, I guess it has the ability to devour space; it even cut and swallowed my vines."
“I guessed so.” Zhou Yang nodded. “You’re just wasting your energy fighting like this; it’s completely pointless.”
Zhou Xian hesitated and asked, "Then why did you find so many water-based ability users...?"
"Pump the water out! Drain as much water as possible from the giant octopus's body!" Zhou Yang said, pointing in the direction of the giant octopus.
No one present was stupid. After listening to Zhou Yang's words, they understood after only a moment's thought.
Octopuses are actually similar to jellyfish; 86% of their bodies are water, and they will die immediately if they lose their water.
Therefore, water-based superpowers are actually the biggest nemesis of this kind of thing.
"Brilliant! How come I didn't think of that?" Song Lian slapped his thigh, unable to help but praise, "However, this is a huge project, it'll probably take a long time to extract, and this giant octopus won't just stand there obediently for you to extract..."
“That’s right!” Zhou Yang chuckled. “So during the pumping process, we’ll need your help to restrain it.”
Upon hearing this, Song Lian nodded immediately: "Alright, we'll protect you! We definitely won't let you water-type mages get hurt, hahaha!"
The others echoed in unison, "No problem!"
Seeing that everyone agreed, Zhou Yang explained his plan to them: "So our plan is like this... and then like this..."
A few minutes later, Zhou Yang, having finished expressing his opinion, looked up again and surveyed the room: "That's the plan. Does anyone have any suggestions? If not, let's get started quickly, or that giant octopus will recover soon!"
Shen Zechuan's previous lightning attack, after most of the lightning energy was absorbed, could only temporarily paralyze the giant octopus and could not cause any damage to the mutated octopus.
Only a few minutes have passed, and the two tentacles clinging to the city wall have started moving again, leaving everyone with very little time to set up their defenses.
"Okay/Sure/No problem!"
Everyone nodded in unison, and then quickly dispersed to their respective positions as Zhou Yang had instructed.
