Chapter 230 Becoming a Monster
"Master...it seems like something is about to come out!" Upon seeing this, the Taoist priest immediately looked at Lu Yao.

As he spoke, he even tried to hide behind Lu Yao.

Just as the Taoist hid behind Lu Yao, the old lady's body twitched violently, and then a ball of flesh-like thing crawled out of her mouth.

The thing was extremely fast and ran out the door almost instantly.

"Master, that thing is about to run away!" The Taoist priest poked his head out from behind Lu Yao.

Lu Yao had already reacted before the Taoist priest opened his mouth. Seeing that the thing was about to crawl to the door, the originally open door was slammed shut.

The thing hit the door, but didn't stop.

It opened its body, swung out several blue tentacles, and grabbed the door fiercely, trying to push it open.

The Taoist priest looked over curiously and suddenly his eyes widened.

That ball-like thing now looks more like an octopus that is nearly two meters long.

"Is that thing an octopus?" The Taoist's voice trembled a little. Even if there were monsters in the mountains like theirs, they shouldn't be things from the sea, right?

Lu Yao did not waste time. While the Taoist was stunned, she had already stepped forward.

After the sword cut off several of the octopus's legs, a talisman fell on the octopus's head.

With a crackling sound, the giant octopus finally calmed down.

When the door was pushed open again, the old lady's son and daughter-in-law had already heard the sound and rushed over.

When they saw the octopus lying at the door with all its tentacles broken off, they subconsciously retreated to the corner.

“This…what is this?”

The old lady's son covered his mouth, as if he had guessed something, but he couldn't accept it for a while.

Who could accept that their mother had turned into such a monster?

Lu Yao picked up the octopus head at the door and walked out.

The octopus was not completely dead, and Lu Yao felt that he should still be able to find some clues from it.

The Taoist priest followed closely behind Lu Yao and tactfully began to deal with the aftermath.

He explained to the old lady's son and daughter-in-law what had just happened and said that if Lu Yao had not acted in time, the monster would have already run away and might even have killed everyone in the village.

Lu Yao carried the octopus head out of the door and threw it into the sun.

The octopus's head bounced violently a few times when it came into contact with the sunlight, but finally calmed down.

When the Taoist priest came back, he saw Lu Yao squatting on the ground. The sunlight shone through her head, casting a small shadow.

"Master, where is that monster?" the Taoist priest came closer.

Hearing the sound, Lu Yao raised his head and pointed at the group in front of him.

The Taoist priest looked over and saw a piece of dried octopus lying on the ground...

"This... is dead?" The Taoist opened his mouth wide, but could only ask this question.
Lu Yao nodded, turned his wrist, and clenched the thing in his palm.

It was taken out of the octopus's head. It looked like a piece of stone, but its texture was a bit strange and it had a faint luster.

Lu Yao didn’t detect any aura on it, but he always felt that this thing should be useful.

The dried octopus was finally taken away by the Taoist priest and burned outside.

Meanwhile, it was already getting dark.

The speed of time in the village is very fast, almost three or four times the normal speed of time.

Lu Yao looked at the darkening sky and turned to call the Taoist priest.

"I need a place to live." Lu Yao spoke up and told the Taoist priest his plan. The Taoist priest nodded repeatedly, "Master, don't worry, I have already arranged it."

Lu Yao agreed to help, which was something he wanted very much. The people in the village didn't dare to say anything, after all, Lu Yao wanted to save everyone in the village.

Lu Yao's room was arranged in a separate courtyard.

Before this, some villagers had already cleaned the room for her. The room was filled with clean bedding and they even prepared hot water for her.

Late at night, Lu Yao heard a noise coming from the yard and suddenly opened his eyes.

She stood up and opened the door, and saw a dark shadow standing under the tree in the yard, looking at her.

It was a somewhat hunched figure. He stood there and waved at Lu Yao, as if calling her over.

Lu Yao frowned, but still followed.

The black shadow never spoke. He pushed open the gate and motioned Lu Yao to follow.

When Lu Yao followed the black shadow out of the gate, he saw that there were many people with empty eyes appearing on the street.

They were old and young, and each of them had a blank expression on their face, following the black shadow like sleepwalkers.

Lu Yao knew that this was the reason why people disappeared in the village.

She didn't say anything, but followed the team forward.

But these people did not leave the village, but gathered in a deserted yard in the village.

After the dark shadow led them in, it walked straight to a well in the yard and jumped in.

As the black shadow moved, the other villagers who were brought here also followed and walked towards the wellhead.

Lu Yao walked over with curiosity. She first looked towards the wellhead, but unfortunately she could not see anything.

Seeing that all the other villagers had jumped in, Lu Yao sighed and had no choice but to follow along.

The falling process was much slower than expected. After about two minutes, Lu Yao finally touched the soft ground.

Yes, the ground under my feet is very soft, and at first touch it feels like stepping on thick cotton.

Lu Yao tried to look for other villagers, but it was pitch black all around, and there was not even a sound.

Suddenly, Lu Yao felt something in his pocket light up.

She reached out and took it out, and it turned out to be the stone she had taken out of the octopus's head before.

In the darkness, the black stone flickered with a faint light, like a small signal device.

As spots of light flickered on the stone, footsteps soon sounded in the darkness.

The next second, a ray of light came from the opposite side and shone on Lu Yao.

The strong light was dazzling, and Lu Yao squinted his eyes instinctively.

"Who's there?" someone said from the other side.

Lu Yao adjusted to the light and then looked across. After realizing that there were about three people on the opposite side, Lu Yao put away the broken axe he was holding behind him and instead turned it into a smaller and more convenient silver blade.

"It's me." Lu Yao spoke and threw the black stone into his pocket.

She carries the scent of that octopus, maybe she can deceive the people on the other side?
Soon, three figures approached and looked at Lu Yao. As expected, they did not regard her as an alien.

"Why is it you? Aren't you responsible for extraditing the living people down from up there?" The leading figure spoke, snorting in dissatisfaction.

At the same time, Lu Yao had already seen the other party's appearance clearly. It was a monster with a huge fish head and a human body, very similar to the fish-headed man Lu Yao had seen in the food area.

The other two following behind the fish-headed man also had fish heads, but judging from the appearance of their fish heads, they were of different species, but they all belonged to the category of saltwater fish.
