Chapter 1185
The Legendary Man Chapter 1185-Following Sten’s instructions, the others quickly packed up to
retreat.
However, the youngest, Welrun, reached up to strike away the spiritual energy keeping his lips sealed.
“Where did you see the movement on theke?”
“Be quiet,” Sten muttered, his eyes still glued to the surface of theke. “Retreat now.”
As Greyson was away, Sten was the one with the most experience outside of the vige. He held the
most authority in the group.
Mona and the other three promptly retreated with Sten, but Welrun remained in his spot by the
campfire, watching the others go.
“Welrun!” Sten yelled, shooting out a pulse of spiritual energy and transforming it into a rope that
wrapped around Welrun’s body.
However, before the rope could touch Welrun’s body, Welrun sliced it with the bone de in his hand.
“Aren’t you just trying to scare me, Sten? I’m going to eat that fish today!”
“Behind you!” Sten, who had been retreating, abruptly shouted right then as he ran toward him.
Instinctively, Welrun turned his head around, but before he could make out what was behind him,
something soft and sticky grabbed his face.
“Mm!” Welrun let out a muffled cry of surprise. In the next instance, he was dragged all the way to the
lake.
“Take this!” Sten roared as he swung his bone dagger to chop off the tentacle that was gripping
Welrun.
Welrun fell to the ground, but inertia made him roll toward theke.
Just then, an ear-piercing whistle echoed in the air. It was Mona informing Greyson about the situation.
Although the youths had the cultivation level of advanced-phase Grandmaster Realm, they were still
helpless against the humongous creature in theke.
The loss of a tentacle brought pain to the creature, making it move in an even more frenzied manner.
Several tentacles shot out from theke, rushing toward the youths on shore.
“Go!”
A second before Welrun fell into theke, Sten grabbed his cor and tossed him back to the shore.
However, as Sten was too close to theke, one of the thick tentacles grabbed and dragged him into
theke.
“Sten!” Mona and the other three screamed.
Still flying midair, Welrun crossed paths with Mona and the other three, who were darting toward the
lake.
After seeing the giant creature with his own eyes, Welrun finally realized how terribly wrong he had
been.
Sten was right all along.
Although Welrun finally realized how perilous the waters could be, it was far toote.
By the time Welrun hit the ground, Mona and the other three youths were already in the water, fighting
with the creature.
“Sten! Mona!”
Once Welrun reached the ground, he quickly rposed himself to join in the fight.
At that moment, a piece of beast bone precisely struck the spot before him, and that bone had a
storage ring on it.
“Protect the ring. The herbs in it are crucial for the vige. We can’t afford to make any mistakes.”
It was Greyson.
When Welrun heard Greyson’s voice, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Greyson was quick as lightning, and in no time, he was already by the edge of theke.
“Stay away from the shore!” he bellowed as he sliced off a tentacle that Mona was fighting against with
his bone de.
Then, he used his spiritual energy to manifest arge hand to throw her back to safety.
In two quick moves, Greyson saved the remaining two youths.
“Where’s Sten?” Greyson asked with a frown when he reached the youths again.
“Mr. Greyson, Sten was dragged into the water by that monster! Please save him!” Welrun sobbed,
but Greyson did not move. He only quietly looked on as the creature sunk back into the water.
“Mr. Downey!” Mona and the others loudly urged Greyson, gripping their bone des.
Greyson reached out to take the storage ring from Welrun.
“Never enter the waters. That is our rule. The beasts are the kings of the waters. If we head into their
territory, we’ll be sheep entering a bear’s cave. We’ll wait for a duration of thirty heartbeats. If Sten
doesn’t escape from the creature by then, we’re leaving.”
“No!” Welrun shouted, running toward theke again. Yet, right as he took a step forward, an invisible
hand pinned him against the ground.

“Twenty-eight more heartbeats,” Greyson said, looking at theke intently.
Welrun continued thrashing.
“Mr. Downey, please! Please let me save Sten! He was dragged into the water because he was
trying to save me!”
“He chose sacrifice. For that, he has my respect,” Greyson replied, still pinning Welrun down with his
spiritual energy. “But I can’t send you to your deaths. Twenty-three more heartbeats. Stay right here.
No one is allowed to go to theke.”
Meanwhile, Sten was close to suffocating under the water, the tentacle still wrapped around him.
As a cultivator, he only panicked for a while after entering the water. Once he rposed himself, he
took the opportunity to take a good look at the monster under the moonlight.
It was a colossal tmonstrum.
ording to the elders in the vige, when a tmonstrum grew to the size of tens of meters, it would
be undefeatable by the humans in the water. Humans would have to fight against it with utmost
caution.
The tmonstrum that had ensnared him was of such vast size that Sten’s spiritual sense could not
fully epass its entire being.
It had to be at least fifty to sixty meters long. Even if Sten was an immensely capable person, he
would have a hard time surviving it.
Crack!
Following the noiseing from his chest, Sten spat out a mouthful of bloody water.
His ribs had broken.
Upon realizing that, Sten moved his hand to stab his bone dagger into the tmonstrum’srge
tentacle.
The bone dagger that could usually break rocks, surprisingly, did nothing to the monster.
To the tmonstrum, the stab was nothing but a scratch.
Sten was swiftly sinking in the water, and the tentacle continuously tightened around him, crushing
his chest and squeezing out the remaining air in his lungs.
Right as Sten was about to lose consciousness, a ball of light rapidly bolted toward him in the dark
water.
When he focused on it, he realized that the ball of light was hastily moving upward.
In fact, a big coffin with glowing runes was within that ball of light.
Sten widened his eyes at the two people on top of the coffin in disbelief.
After all, they were in the water that not even his vige elders dared to approach.
Yet, someone was floating up with a coffin.
How is this possible?
While Sten was staring at the coffin in shock, Jonathan and Seboxia ascended on the coffin in a
quick manner.
“Hey, hey, look at that octopus, Seboxia. Does it have a cultivator in its grip?” Jonathan asked, pointing
at the gigantic creature above him.
Seboxia nced at the creature. “What does that have to do with us? There are plenty of people who
enter the small world. I can’t possibly save them—”
But before Seboxia could finish his sentence, a looming figure wrapped itself around Seboxia’s coffin’s
shield.
Jonathan looked at the tentacle stuck to the shield in amusement before turning to Seboxia.
“Well, it looks like it wants us to stay.”
Seboxia, who had intended to do nothing but watch earlier, sped his hands together.
“Sir Octopus, it looks like we’re fated to meet.”
