[It is a very excellent machete. Feel free to use it. It will definitely be a good weapon. With this machete, you can easily break through the hard surface of a crypt creature.]
Klein slashed a few times into the air.
He gradually became familiar with the weight of the machete,
He had played with the machete a few months ago. It hadn’t been long, three to four months.
Back then, he had signed up for a club on a whim and spent a small sum of money.
Now that he held the prop again, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of familiarity.
Back then, he was only at the beginner level and couldn’t use it skillfully.
But for the current Klein, the skills he had learned regarding the use of the machete, as well as a bit of proficiency, were all extremely crucial.
[There’s a strange item in the catacomb below. However, it’s a troublesome Yellow Sand Octopus that’s wandering around in the catacombs. Use a machete to chop it up. Be careful of its sand spitting ability. You should know the consequences of being caught by the monster.]
Klein checked again and the notification changed.
With that, he could dig without worry.
He sheathed his machete and took out his shovel.
He picked a spot.
He began digging!
He continued downwards.
The tunnel grew longer and longer.
Klein focused his attention and threw away the last shovel. As he fell, he put away his shovel.
!
This time, he landed on the high platform in the catacomb.
He took out the shovel and quickly scanned his surroundings, searching for the location of the Yellow Sand Octopus.
There were multiple spots in the thirteenth catacomb.
It was 14 to 15 meters in length.
The ceiling was slanted, and Klein’s side was the high spot.
In addition, there were more high platforms.
They were not far from Klein, so he could jump over them.
Is that thing the xenogeneic?
Klein immediately saw a strange, fleshy thing on a stone pillar ten meters away from him.
It looked like a sarcoma. It was roughly oval in shape, and it could beat like a heart.
It was indescribably strange!
Where is the Yellow Sand Octopus hiding?
Klein searched carefully, but he didn’t find it.
He jumped onto an adjacent earth pillar and searched again, but he still didn’t find it.
[Since it is an octopus, could it be hiding in the sand?]
Klein was taken aback and immediately raised his vigilance.
There was an earth pillar under his feet!
At the same moment, the entire earth pillar quickly collapsed.
Thankfully, Klein had been warned beforehand and quickly adjusted to the ground.
Just as he landed, two children’s thick arms swung at him.
Klein quickly retreated.
His arms weren’t grabbed, but his ankles weren’t spared.
Klein put away his machete and cut off both of its tentacles.
Just as the hint described, it wasn’t difficult to deal with Yellow Sand Octopus.
The tentacles looked like tofu under the Excellent Machete.
‘My strength has unknowingly increased by quite a bit.’
Klein guessed that it was due to the lizard’s blood.
After digesting it during this period of time, his physique had improved in all aspects, including his reflexes.
Including the fact that his arm wasn’t entangled just now, it was also because his reflexes were faster that he managed to escape.
The severed tentacles quickly retracted.
However, it also exposed the Yellow Sand Octopus’s location.
This fellow had fallen under the sand layer of the earthen pillar. When it retracted its tentacles, it brought along dark green blood and two-colored holes.
Klein quickly rushed forward.
Poof!
Suddenly, a Yellow Sand Octopus’s head popped out of the sand.
It opened its mouth and a ball of yellow sand protruded out.
Klein was already prepared. A mineral water bottle appeared in his left hand.
Before the yellow sand reached his eyes, he had already raised his hand to block it.
It was transparent and could effectively block the sand.
Of course, through the yellow sand, the visibility was still not high.
However, the yellow sand did not enter his eyes.
But it would not cause him to temporarily lose his vision.
Suddenly, another tentacle swung over!
The Yellow Sand Octopus probably thought that Klein had been hit.
It came at the right time.
Klein did not retreat but advanced instead.
He flashed past.
He raised his hand and slashed.
A slash landed on the octopus.
His hand slid down from the depths of the octopus.
Yellow Sand Octopus, dead!
[System notification: Soul+1]
Klein dug the Yellow Sand Octopus out of the soil.
Each tentacle was about four meters long.
This fellow’s entire body was earthy yellow. It didn’t have the unique smell of seafood, but had a earthy smell.
It had a soft appearance and bulging eyes.
It had a bunch of sharp teeth that were as long as a thumb.
Klein disintegrated the corpse.
[System notification: Yellow Sand Octopus Meat+12]
[System notification: Yellow Sand Octopus Blood+200ml]
[System notification: Yellow Sand Octopus Decompression+1]
The One-Eyed Lizard was large, but it didn’t have much meat
The Yellow Sand Octopus was soft and rich, and it could be used as food.
Klein immediately checked its meat and blood.
The lizard blood from last time was a great tonic. He wondered if the Yellow Sand Octopus would have a similar effect.
[Yellow Sand Octopus: Rich in nutrients. The meat is tender and tastes good. Current Satiation Index: Three Stars. Overall score: 68]
It had a slightly higher score than the lizard meat.
[Yellow Sand Octopus Blood: Blood that doesn’t have much nutrients. It has a certain degree of attraction to most crypt creatures.]
Klein put away the blood in disappointment.
It had other uses after all. He couldn’t throw it away.
At the very least, there would be people who would be willing to take it if it was put on the market.
The blood of the Yellow Sand Octopus could be used as a water supplement.
Next, it was time to look at that xenogeneic
Klein walked towards the xenogeneic.
The stone pillar wasn’t tall, only about a meter.
Looking at it up close, its appearance was even uglier.
