Chapter 408: Cube Octopus
Ariel was just thinking about these words in her heart, so Zhou Qing didn't know.
But he didn't think about these things. Instead, he felt that choosing a Rubik's Cube Octopus as the second soul ring for Romantina was the most appropriate!
Didn't he just hope that Romantina's brain martial soul could develop functions similar to supercomputers and simulators?
The Rubik's Cube Octopus has reached the 100,000-year level. It can imitate the heaven and earth and open up the spiritual world. It complements Romantina perfectly!
As for the truth of what Ariel said...
Not to mention that Ariel's identity itself is a mystery. Even if everything she said was false, she was telling a story, or she was fooling people, the Rubik's Cube Octopus is extremely suitable for Romantina.
As time went by, one Rubik's Cube Octopus after another emerged from the seabed, climbed up along the reefs, climbed to the top, or climbed onto the blue silver trees, occupying high positions to better receive the moonlight.
The crew members on the ship also lowered the small boat hanging on the edge of the big ship, and went down in twos and threes with fishing nets to start salvaging fish, shrimps and shellfish under the reef area.
Ariel said: "After the magic cube octopus leaves the sea, it can only exert 30% of its cultivation. Our big ship cannot sail into those narrow reefs. You have to choose a suitable magic cube octopus and go down. You can take a small boat. If you are confident in your own strength, you can also jump down directly and jump back and forth between the reefs and wander around."
"Some sea soul beasts are more active at night, but generally speaking, they will not actively attack ships on the sea, let alone jump onto the reefs."
After thanking Ariel for telling him this, Zhou Qing borrowed a small boat from her. He, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Romantina boarded the boat one after another, and traveled through the reefs, looking for a Rubik's Cube Octopus of the right age.
"How about that one?"
Tang San noticed a magic cube octopus with nine golden spiral coral rings lying on the top of a blue silver tree not far away. "It must be at least nine hundred years old."
"What do you think?" Zhou Qing looked at Romantina.
"That's it."
Romantina agreed.
Although she was confident that she could withstand a thousand-year-level spirit ring, she considered that it was not advisable to stay in this sea area for too long and had to fight quickly.
Moreover, spirit rings can be refined a second time, so there is no need to choose a thousand-year-old Rubik's Cube Octopus. Choosing an older individual is only to save time on improving the spirit ring's age during future practice.
Everyone rowed the boat to the sea heart stone where the blue silver tree grew.
This blue silver tree was not tall, only two meters. Zhou Qing's martial soul possessed him and he jumped up. His second soul ring flickered, and Zhou Qing's blood and soul power surged. His speed increased suddenly, and a faint blue halo appeared on his legs. With a slight chill, he was like a nimble rabbit, and in the blink of an eye he jumped to the top of the blue silver tree.
This is Zhou Qing’s second soul skill after obtaining the Dancing Winter Rabbit: Chanting Winter.
After using this soul skill, Zhou Qing can absorb the two kinds of elemental forces of ice and water between heaven and earth to strengthen his qi and blood and increase his speed.
Even through the circulation of Qi and blood in the blood circulation system, it can burst out in a form similar to Wing Chun's power.
That is, Yindong leg strength.
But at this time, Zhou Qing only relied on his second soul skill to enhance his leg strength and speed, and did not use any attack form.
After jumping onto the Blue Silver Tree, Zhou Qing discovered that after the soft Blue Silver Grass twisted and coiled into a Blue Silver Tree, it was still quite sturdy and could even support his body.
But he didn't pay too much attention to it and just stared at the Rubik's Cube Octopus in front of him.
This 900-year-old Rubik's Cube Octopus sensed the danger, but after coming ashore, only 30% of its strength remained. Although its eight tentacles were flexible, they did not move very fast.
Zhou Qing reached out with both arms and held it in his hands. However, the octopus' tentacles snaked around Zhou Qing's arms, tightly wrapping around them. They were wet and slippery, and the slightest pull caused pain on the skin.
"Hey, it really looks like an octopus!"
Zhou Qing did not continue to pull, allowing his arms to be entangled by the Rubik's Cube Octopus the size of a human head, and jumped down from the Blue Silver Tree.
The boat swayed a few times before it came to a steady stop.
"This Rubik's Cube Octopus looks so weird!"
From a distance, the Rubik's Cube Octopus can only be said to be unique in appearance, but when taking a closer look, Xiao Wu was immediately shocked. The sticky tentacles and the densely packed suction cups at the bottom were chilling to the eye.
Romantina stared at the eight tentacles wrapped around Zhou Qing's arms. She didn't know what she was thinking about and her cheeks suddenly turned red.
"Hey, don't just look at it!"
Zhou Qing noticed Romantina's expression and said speechlessly, "Take out the dagger and stab it into the head of this Rubik's Cube Octopus to kill it. I don't want to stay with these sticky tentacles for too long."
"Oh."
Romantina hurriedly took out a dagger from her waist bag, stabbed it into the bottom of the Rubik's Cube Octopus's cubic brain, and stirred it violently a few times.
"puff--"
The Rubik's Cube Octopus' mouthparts were heading towards Romantina, spitting out a stream of black ink, painting her entire face black. The splashing ink also stained Xiao Wu's body, staining her neck and chest with a dark black color.
"This octopus can also spit out ink!" Xiao Wu was about to reach out to scoop up the sea water, but was stopped by Zhou Qing, who said, "Don't wash it yet. Wait until we get back to the ship. The ink has a strong fishy smell and a hint of sweetness. If it dissolves in sea water, it may attract the attention of other sea soul beasts."
Helpless, Xiao Wu could only endure it for the time being.
Romantina complained at this time: "Zhou Qing, you didn't deliberately choose such a wretched soul beast for me, did you?"
"Don't have such dirty thoughts."
Seeing a yellow soul ring with a hint of purple appear, Zhou Qing urged Romantina to absorb it quickly to avoid any more trouble.
After Romantina possessed the martial spirit and pulled the spirit ring to her head, it took her an hour to complete the absorption and secondary refining.
On this yellow soul ring with a hint of purple, white lines appeared, outlining a pattern of eight tentacles similar to an octopus.
Zhou Qing could already imagine that when Romantina officially used her soul skill, the eight tentacle-like lines would flicker, and then a cubic-shaped Rubik's Cube Octopus' brain would be outlined in the center of the soul ring. It would look like the Rubik's Cube Octopus had wrapped its eight claws around the soul ring and was entrenched in it.
"What is this soul skill?"
Xiao Wu couldn't wait to ask, "Could it be that the spiritual power is sprayed out like an octopus spraying ink, making people lose their way?"
Zhou Qing was also nervous, wanting to know whether Romantina's second soul skill was as he had imagined, and whether it could enhance her ability to use her martial soul to collect, analyze, and process information.
In fact, Romantina's soul skills do have the abilities that Zhou Qing imagined, but the form of expression is indeed a little bit special...
