Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 25 - 23: Enraging the Octopus Monster

"Alright, I promise you, I promise you everything!" Fuer touched his chest, then remembered he had given the key to Josh.

Josh understood, walked to the cages, and opened all the cages of the monkey, lion, and leopard, unlocking the locks around their necks.

[Ding! Gained 60 goodwill points from the monkey, goodwill level maxed out.]

[Ding! Gained 100 goodwill points from the lion, goodwill level maxed out.]

[Ding! Gained 100 goodwill points from the leopard, goodwill level maxed out.]

[Ding! Gained 20 goodwill points from Fuer, current goodwill 80.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you have completed the side quest to rescue the circus monkey.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you have completed the side quest to rescue the circus lion.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you have completed the side quest to rescue the circus leopard.]

The dolls behind the cages instantly went berserk.

Josh quickly called everyone to fight, holding back these dolls and allowing the animals to escape the circus and amusement park smoothly.

Alan watched the little animals leave one by one, and couldn’t help but laugh.

She turned to Fuer, "Sister, you see, they’re not so different from us, trapped in the circus. Now I’m going to gain freedom with them, sister, please let yourself go too, okay?"

Fuer looked into Alan’s eyes, the two stared at each other for a while, and she suddenly laughed with tears in her eyes, "Okay."

Alan also began to laugh.

The two NPCs hugged each other and dissolved into stardust.

[Ding! Congratulations, you have completed the plot progress of "Rescuing Fuer’s Soul from Suffering" 100%.]

"Alan! Fuer!" The octopus let out a painful scream, the sound both human and inhuman, yet clearly audible.

Josh retrieved the Mermaid Heart, and reached into her pocket, only to find an additional pearl-like piece of equipment.

[Ding! Congratulations, you have successfully攻略Fuer, obtaining a rare dropped item, Mermaid’s Soul Suppressing Pearl.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you have successfully unlocked the plot progress of "Rescuing the Mermaid King" 75%, please keep up the good work.]

Josh’s eyes revealed a knowing look, so it was like that after all.

She had to go into the water to find the Mermaid King.

Josh was about to jump into the water when an octopus tentacle swept towards her.

Josh dodged just in time, luckily her companions pulled her out of the way, but still, with only three attack points, she got scratched, losing Life Value.

[Warning, player’s Life Value is down to 1 point, please be cautious of the raging monster, as newcomers without protective items will be obliterated upon death in-game.] 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Josh twitched her mouth, it’s really... one hit 99.

However, the octopus was preventing her from getting into the water.

It was indeed sharp.

The octopus was afraid, afraid that she would release the Mermaid King from the water.

Josh looked at the octopus.

The octopus could not see, so how did it sense things? By the direction of the wind?

Or by sound?

The octopus roared fiercely, erupting with intense red light around its body.

Huang Bairen felt a chill all over: "What’s going on here?"

The octopus’s body expanded several times, and its tentacles continuously grew thicker, larger, and longer.

Josh shrank in her companion’s arms, dodging attacks while casually lying, "The soul of Fuer’s mother is fused with the octopus’s soul, after Fuer and Alan disappeared, it went berserk."

The tentacles began to attack others.

Josh ordered, "Listen to my command, kill this octopus, and the remaining items will all explode out of her body."

A flash of murderous intent crossed Huang Bairen’s eyes, "Fuer just died, so she should have dropped items too, right? Hand over the items first!"

Josh smiled lightly, "If we don’t kill the octopus, do you think we have a chance to leave alive? Instead of infighting, let’s deal with the external enemies first. No haste in distributing the equipment."

Qian Duobao nodded as well, "Yeah, why fight over equipment now? This octopus alone can take on five of us, we might not make it."

Huang Bairen wasn’t listening at all, he sneered, "As long as I get the last piece of equipment, no matter about you guys and the octopus, I’ll just level up and leave!"

Qian Duobao and Green Hair only had one piece of equipment each, so they both wanted to kill the octopus to drop equipment.

Yet, Huang Bairen and Zhu Yongchang were different, they already had two pieces of equipment, if they could snatch Josh’s equipment, they wouldn’t have to face the octopus’s attacks at all.

The two approached Josh tacitly.

Josh smirked, she was hoping they would come.

She quickly jumped off her companion’s body and approached the direction of the two.

Her companion obviously froze for a moment, surprise flashing across his face.

The barrage was also stunned: [Is she seeking death? Acting recklessly with only 1 point of Life Value?]

[In this novice dungeon, death means real death, there’s no Resurrection Card.]

[Who knows what she’s trying to do, it’s confusing, she should have left when the three pieces of equipment merged earlier.]

[Yeah, it’s annoying to watch, what on earth is she trying to do?]

Behind Josh, the tentacles were following closely, while in front, Huang Bairen and Zhu Yongchang were attacking her.

Just as Huang Bairen’s knife was about to slash Josh’s neck, Josh paused, avoiding the attack in an incredibly dodgy way.

Huang Bairen and Zhu Yongchang naturally knew what she was trying to do, wasn’t she trying to leverage force against force, to use them against the octopus?

Unfortunately, they weren’t fools either.

The two quickly backed off, only to see the octopus charging straight at them.

Josh smirked again, guessed correctly.

The octopus sensed through aura.

Earlier as she stood by the pool, the octopus sensed the Mermaid King’s aura on her, scared it away.

Just now, while Huang Bairen and Zhu Yongchang were approaching, she sneakily stuffed all the Mermaid Scales she picked up into their pockets.

The octopus smelled the Mermaid King’s aura on them, and believed she was standing with them.

Huang Bairen dodged quickly, exclaiming, "Can’t you tell that we’re trying to kill Josh just like you? Don’t be foolish!"

The octopus ignored him, frantically attacking the two.

Huang Bairen struggled to evade.

Josh called to Green Hair and Qian Duobao, "Attack the left side of the octopus, then run toward the ferris wheel."

The two nodded quickly and began to move.

The octopus had many tentacles, making a one-on-five fight not a problem at all.

Being scattered only gave the octopus more room to maneuver.

She then looked at Huang Bairen and Zhu Yongchang, "Haven’t you realized? If the octopus doesn’t die, you can’t level up."

Huang Bairen was knocked away by the octopus, his chest heaving as he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Indeed the monster with the highest combat power in the dungeon, its attacks were just too strong.

Zhu Yongchang quickly cooled down, "Then what do you say we do?"

Josh said calmly, "You take Huang Bairen along and attract the octopus’s attention, run towards the ferris wheel, use its structure to entangle the octopus’s tentacles, and restrict its movement."

Zhu Yongchang quickly understood her meaning, his eyes lit up, and he turned to run in the direction of the ferris wheel with Huang Bairen.
