Hunter of Mysterious Creature-Chapter 584 - 141: Savage Fusion

The octopus creature fell into silence.

It seemed to genuinely start pondering the question of "whether it could still be considered human."

However, in less than three seconds, it gave up on thinking.

Countless thick tentacles lifted into the air and then slammed down towards Wang Xiyi!

These tentacles nearly sealed off all possible escape routes for Wang Xiyi, leaving her with only one option: a head-on clash.

"Oh, enraged now?" Wang Xiyi sneered coldly, "Good, I won't have to keep acting with you... negotiating is Sun Hang's job from now on. I prefer solving problems with violence!"

The temperature in the underground space suddenly soared by hundreds of degrees! The lake water of the underground lake began to boil in an instant!

An overwhelmingly powerful energy wave emanated from behind Wang Xiyi... This was merely the residual overflow, yet it was enough to turn the surroundings into scorched earth. It's hard to imagine the terrifying destruction that might occur when the fireball in her hand directly hit its target.

Wang Xiyi never intended to negotiate with the other party.

She only accepted unconditional surrender, or... war.

"Boom!!!"

The deafening explosion resounded throughout the entire city, and at the center of the energy storm, a vortex formed of flames and steam shot straight into the sky!

The flame vortex lasted for more than twenty seconds before gradually weakening. It wasn't until the sixtieth second that this terrifying sight completely disappeared.

The storefront of "Senyang Aquarium" had completely vanished, along with every building in the vicinity, replaced by a crater over four hundred meters in diameter and nearly two hundred meters deep!

A tall woman, almost completely naked except for crucial areas wrapped in black scales, stood at the bottom of the pit. Around her lay hundreds of charred tentacle remains, splayed in all directions. The size of these remains hinted at how massive the creature was.

Even a single tentacle was thicker than the woman's torso, and each one extended over a hundred meters... But now, as a light breeze blew past, these charred remnants crumbled into ash, scattering into the air.

"Phew..." Wang Xiyi let out a long breath. This was the first time she had used that move in actual combat, and she almost ended up draining herself completely dry—she thought that tossing out the compressed fireball would be the end of it, but to her surprise, the fireball exploding in the enclosed underground space formed a tornado-like firestorm that swept through the entire area.

Although Wang Xiyi, positioned at the eye of the storm, wasn't harmed by the firestorm, she unexpectedly became the "power source" for it. For every second the firestorm lasted, it drew a massive amount of energy from her body.

It was only when she was a step away from complete exhaustion that Wang Xiyi managed to "shut" the valve of energy leakage, cutting off the supply to the firestorm.

Soon after, the firestorm gradually weakened and eventually dissipated on its own.

Wang Xiyi felt a strong pang of hunger from her stomach. Instinctively, she reached for the side pocket on her thigh where she kept her supplies, only to find her fingers touching her own smooth, cold skin.

Only then did she realize that during the previous battle with the octopus monster, her clothes had been torn to shreds, followed by an assault from numerous small aquatic creatures, and the flame storm she just unleashed burned the last remaining scraps to ashes.

"At this moment... even a nutrient bar with a soapy taste would be nice," Wang Xiyi thought to herself.

She pressed her palm against her slightly deflated stomach, sighed, and kicked apart an already very "crunchy" rock at her feet, heading towards the underground lake.

Before addressing her hunger, she first needed to make sure the opponent was truly dead.

At this point, the underground lake was nearly filled with collapsed rubble, and the water had completely evaporated from the flame storm...

That octopus creature had retracted its head into the lake to escape the terrifying storm, and then the ceiling of the underground space collapsed entirely, with countless pieces falling into the lake, burying it completely.

...

Wang Xiyi exerted considerable effort to dig the octopus creature's head out from the lake.

Compared to the tentacles that were directly burned to ashes, the octopus creature's head was relatively well "preserved," and its body emitted a strange odor. Wang Xiyi took a sniff and found it somewhat reminiscent of burnt takoyaki, mixed with a faint stench, as if the octopus used for the dish wasn't cleaned properly or had already spoiled.

The size of this octopus head was almost as large as a three-story building. Wang Xiyi gave it a hard push, flipping the entire head over—revealing a one-meter-diameter opening in front of her.

This was originally where the octopus creature connected with the person inside.

"Ran away?" Wang Xiyi frowned, peering into the hole.

Inside the opening were severed blood vessels, tendons, and nerve bundles. At the end of some tendons, there were pieces of torn flesh, clearly ripped from a creature's body using brute force.
