The Sickle Beetle King crashed down a meter in front of Honda. Its mandibles were pointing at Honda, opening and closing frantically, as if it wanted to tear Honda in half at any moment. However, that was no longer possible, because its six legs, wings, and even its entire body were entangled by dense tentacles, making it impossible to move even an inch!
"Here it comes! The Dark Octopus... oh no! The Demon Prince!" Honda subtly took two steps back, watching the pink octopus that had the Scythe Beetle King completely immobilized. In this world, this guy wasn't as innocent as he appeared. He was full of tricks! He'd completely outmaneuvered Li Jiayu, whose intelligence and emotional intelligence were both below average!
"This is... a Dark Octopus! How come such an obscure summon appears?" Honda picked up a stool leg from the ground and smashed the Scythe Beetle King's head open. Li Jiayu walked to Honda's side, observing as she spoke.
"So this is your summoning magic, it's amazing!" Honda hadn't planned to get too involved with Li Jiayu, after all, he was a little afraid of his nickname.
"Oh, not at all, how could I compare to you, sister?" Her icy tone softened slightly as Li Jiayu gazed with a burning intensity at the corpse of the Sickle Beetle King. This was the foundation of his survival in the apocalypse, the very basis of his existence!
Just as the two were about to discuss what to do next,
"Gurgle gurgle"
The sound of swallowing rang out, and the tentacle that had pierced the eye socket of the Sickle Beetle King was also extending and retracting, clearly sucking out the Sickle Beetle King's brain!
Li Jiayu was stunned. He was still worrying about how to effectively destroy the brain of the Sickle Beetle King through its eye sockets when the Dark Octopus started to take action... Although sucking brains seemed perverted and the Dark Octopus's eating habits were disgusting, overall, the Dark Octopus was quite good. At least it would be a nightmare for the enemy.
In less than three seconds, the once arrogant creature was now motionless and dead beyond any doubt. The dark octopus, having finished its "brain tonic" to its heart's content, withdrew its tentacle. However, on one of the tentacle's suckers, there was a red crystal!
"Hmm! This is the insect crystal, the bio-energy inside. Indeed, it's quite pure! I just wonder if it can be artificially manufactured. If it could, then we'd be incredibly wealthy." Looking at this exquisite crystal, only the size of a grape, flowing with a flame-like luster, Honda had a bold idea.
"Insect crystal! A king-level insect crystal! And it's so pure..."
Li Jiayu cried out in surprise. He really didn't expect to be so lucky. He actually obtained the King-level Insect Crystal of the Scythe Beetle King at the very beginning of the apocalypse. This was an extremely rare and valuable item!
Honda gave Li Jiayu, who had interrupted his thoughts, a resentful look, and then simply ignored this gacha player who had won an SR prize. He went to a corner to rest for a bit, and while he was at it, he decided to stay away from that perverted octopus.
Then! We saw Li Jiayu interacting with the octopus, and then the octopus's true nature erupted. It started collecting the 'treasures' on the ground: stockings, panties—good heavens, those were the things the girl had just given Li Jiayu to attract the sickle beetle's attention! Don't forget, there was girl's urine on them too! Such filthy stuff… and it actually treasured it?
It even put its only pair of underwear on its head and happily let out low cheers...
This scene made Honda a little...nothing, then! My breasts hurt.
Not only Honda, but Li Jiayu also stared blankly as the dark octopus waved its tentacles and shook its suckers, clinging to the stockings. An ominous premonition flashed through her mind.
"You're not a dark octopus! You...you're a tentacle monster? You're a mutated dark octopus with tentacle blood! No wonder you needed so much of my blood to summon you, you're a mutated summoned beast!"
Then, Li Jiayu felt uneasy. He really wanted to punch someone! He, a dignified great dark summoner, had actually summoned such a perverted thing. This made him very unhappy, but summoned beasts and summoners share some similarities. Therefore, by summoning the dark octopus, Li Jiayu was already destined to go further and further down the path of perversion!
Just as Li Jiayu was surrounded by girls, the dead octopus revealed its lewd and perverted nature, demanding to be fed with the underwear of beautiful women. Honda saw this clearly, and Li Jiayu's face turned black with anger.
The dark octopus, shameless and utterly devoid of humanity, declared a strike. Li Jiayu was helpless against it; he was desperately short of power! Gritting his teeth, Li Jiayu threw the underwear he had collected earlier at the octopus's face, and the octopus immediately let out a sound of pure bliss.
Even though it wasn't a human face, Honda still understood its meaning from that lewd smile. A chill ran through him. Honda touched the goosebumps on his arm, which were tingled by the cold, and took two steps back. But he still didn't feel safe!
After glancing at the scythe-wielding beetle king's crystal in his hand, Li Jiayu put everything else out of his mind. Disgusted by the pathetic octopus, Li Jiayu decided to summon it again!
It was a sad decision, but Honda decided to interrupt for a moment. She didn't want to be in the same place as that loser octopus at all; she felt completely unsafe.
"It looks like a huge swarm of spiders is about to crawl here, and some fiery red birds are flying over in the distance. I suggest we retreat!" Honda said to Li Jiayu, not lying to him that the summoning was happening here in the story. Something bad was definitely going to happen!
"Damn it, it's a poisonous spider and a fire crow!" True to his experienced nature, Li Jiayu knew exactly what it was in an instant. He didn't doubt the words of this 'prodigy'! He estimated that Honda was already an Awakened One, and Awakened Ones possessed all sorts of strange abilities. For example, jelly, jelly, jelly. So, regarding mere sensory abilities, he trusted Honda's judgment.
"Forget it, let's go upstairs first!" Li Jiayu made the decision immediately. He had also noticed the fiery red glow on the horizon, but his biggest concern was Xiao Wanqing's safety. He was afraid that if something happened, it would be too late.
Of course, the corpse of the Sickle Beetle King was also dragged away by the octopus on Li Jiayu's orders. Judging from its reluctant expression, it preferred beautiful females and disliked these males. But it had no choice; Li Jiayu threatened it with recall. It had no choice but to obediently push the corpse, but it deliberately moved closer to Honda. Honda's appearance perfectly matched its standards, but because he was too serious, it dared not get too close. Otherwise, it would have already gone to fawn over him.
So, Li Jiayu led Honda and the others on their migration. Along the way, they slaughtered a pig. This pig had a deep grudge against Li Jiayu and was thoroughly "treated" by her. Honda didn't say anything! He wasn't exactly a saint, was he? Besides, this guy had a lot of "karma" and "sins" on him. He wasn't exactly a good person either, probably using his position for shady dealings during his time in office. Honda coldly watched as Li Jiayu beat the pig until it was barely alive. Then, she threw it to feed the venomous spiders.
"Sister, I..."
Li Jiayu looked at Honda, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. Blinded by anger, she hadn't noticed Honda was still watching.
"No matter what, as long as you are Li Jiayu, that's enough."
Honda wasn't going to interrupt Li Jiayu directly. This chuunibyou (delusional teenager) was just spouting platitudes, saying, "You're Li Jiayu, not a murderer. That's enough!"
"Hmm! It seems you, sister, are also very understanding and righteous!"
After understanding the meaning of those words, a smile appeared on Li Jiayu's lips.
Let's go!
Seeing his frightened classmates, Li Jiayu showed no kindness. He gave a direct order! His gentleness was reserved for family and benefactors; all his enemies from the past life would be made to repay their debts. He, Li Jiayu, would dedicate his life to repaying the kindness of his past life.
