Chapter 55: Machudui Society
Chapter 55: Machudui Society
Li Qian's question echoed the doubts of most people present.
A mechanical octopus emerged from the head of the defeated Shadow Soul.
No one knew what this thing was, so no one dared to act rashly.
"Chit, chit, chit..."
The mechanical octopus's eight tentacles frantically twisted and turned, emitting a sharp cry.
Although it didn't seem very formidable physically, its menacing appearance, with its bared teeth and claws, intimidated the crowd.
"Chit, chit, chit..."
After another piercing scream, the mechanical octopus suddenly pounced, directly towards An Paozi.
Li Qian's quick eyes noticed this and he immediately commanded Qi Zai through the Soul Contract.
Qi Zai understood Li Qian's order and without hesitation, he unleashed a Water Arrow.
Whoosh! The water arrow, with extreme speed, shot towards the mechanical octopus, instantly revealing its true nature. The crowd, now understanding the situation, began to stir.
Although the mechanical octopus was knocked away, it didn't perish immediately. Unfortunately for Sun Shouhe, it landed right next to him.
Sun Shouhe was startled and instinctively prepared to summon his companion beast.
He had already contracted a companion beast, but as it was a recent contract, its potential, though promising, had only reached the Overlord rank, while his current strength was still at the Common rank.
He was flustered and instinctively tried to summon his companion beast, but his reaction was a beat too slow. Before he could complete the summoning, the mechanical octopus had already pounced and landed on his body.
Despite its small size, the mechanical octopus's sharp cries and eight sharp mechanical tentacles exuded an air of danger.
Sun Shouhe was knocked down by the mechanical octopus, his body trembling. The summoning array he had activated dimmed and faded away.
Pfft!
"Ah~!"
One of the mechanical octopus's tentacles suddenly stabbed and flicked at Sun Shouhe's waist, causing him to let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.
Clearly, the octopus's stab had injured Sun Shouhe, but the exact location of the injury was unknown.
The tentacle stabbed in and then flicked upwards, tearing a loud rip as it slashed through Sun Shouhe's pants.
As the pants were torn, a large patch of pale skin was exposed, and due to the tentacle's flicking motion, the exposed area quickly expanded beyond the hip region.
Li Qian even caught a glimpse of little Sun Shouhe, well, smaller than he had imagined.
Many girls also witnessed this scene, some with curious expressions, others blushing in embarrassment, turning their heads away.
Additionally, Li Qian noticed a long, bloody wound on Sun Shouhe's body, starting from the waist and extending down to his thigh, likely caused by the mechanical octopus's tentacle.
No wonder he was screaming in pain like a pig being slaughtered.
Just as everyone was feeling a bit lost, a familiar voice suddenly rang out, "Don't let it get the phone!"
Upon hearing this, Li Qian immediately understood and looked over, seeing that one of the mechanical octopus's tentacles had already coiled around a phone.
It was Sun Shouhe's phone, which was in his pocket.
But why would the mechanical octopus want the phone?
Li Qian was perplexed and confused. Just as his bewildered gaze fell upon the mechanical octopus, it suddenly melted into a puddle of metallic liquid and seeped into Sun Shouhe's phone.
Li Qian's face was filled with bewilderment.
What on earth was going on?
Just as he stood there, half bewildered and half confused, a figure quickly approached, and from their mouth came a sound of regret, "Damn it, that thing got into his phone again."
Li Qian turned to the newcomer, full of confusion and incomprehension, and asked, "Officer Zhou, what is going on here?"
Indeed, the person who suddenly spoke was none other than Zhou Weiping, a security officer from Lingwater City's Security Bureau, who had crossed paths with Li Qian before.
In addition to Zhou Weiping, two other security officers dressed in black uniforms stood by his side.
"I'll explain later, let's deal with this first." Zhou Weiping's gaze was focused as he looked at the phone that the mechanical octopus had entered.
Just as the two were talking, the mechanical octopus began to twist and turn with a series of clanking sounds. After a couple of breaths, it assembled itself into a robot only thirty to forty centimeters tall.
Seeing this, Li Qian was astonished.
But he quickly recovered and, without hesitation, ordered Qi Zai to attack again.
Feeling the agility of the phone robot that had reappeared, Li Qian anticipated that its speed might be faster, so he directly instructed Qi Zai to use the "Water Arrow Barrage."
The "Water Arrow Barrage" had reached the "Proficient" level, and hundreds of water arrows instantly shot out, creating a rather spectacular sight.
A man-made pond not far from the hotel entrance instantly dried up.
"Good job, your Green Scaled Dragon is indeed extraordinary." Zhou Weiping couldn't help but exclaim in surprise at the sight.
At the same time, he and the other two security officers from the Security Bureau didn't idle either. They summoned their companion beast, the Flame Wolf, and from another side, they unleashed the "Flame Spray."
Water and fire clashed, partially canceling each other out, but it was still beyond the defensive capabilities of the phone robot.
After a few more skills were unleashed, the phone robot followed in the footsteps of the car robot and lost its fighting power.
The mechanical octopus, like a parasite, emerged from the phone, but it was evident that it lacked the vigor it had before.
It pounced towards its target, which was the nearest person, Zhou Weiping. The latter showed no hesitation and struck it down with a "Flame Claw."
Zzzzzz...
The mechanical octopus was instantly struck with electrical arcs and sparks, losing its fighting power.
It was clear that after being struck and losing its parasite, its combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.
Previously, they had let the opportunity slip by, allowing it to latch onto a target. This time, they wouldn't make the same mistake.
In fact, it didn't have that chance.
Zhou Weiping directly picked it up and put it into a black box.
Seeing that the situation had calmed down, Li Qian quickly walked over and asked, "Officer Zhou, what happened here?"
Zhou Weiping glanced at the black box in his hand, his eyebrows furrowed, "It's those Machudui guys!"
"Machudui?"
Zhou Weiping's words left Li Qian and everyone present perplexed and curious, as this was the first time they had heard this term, which seemed to be the name of an organization...
