Chapter 1664 Tracking and Pursuit
Looking at the transparent "octopus" that was only five or six hundred feet long, Meng Xiang's pupils contracted as soon as he saw it, and a solemn look appeared on his face. It was obvious that he attached enough importance to it.
In fact, Meng Xiang has seen a lot of huge creatures, especially after becoming an immortal, there are countless behemoths. The creatures that are as long as a thousand feet long are considered small, not to mention smaller than a thousand feet. So judging from the size, although the monster he was facing at this time was strange, it was generally considered inconspicuous. Even if it showed a texture similar to jellyfish, it could not be considered very blinking compared to some creatures.
However, Meng Xiang is not an ordinary person. He is a real Yuanxian. He has many differences with ordinary people. For example, he will not be confused by the appearance of the object of observation, but can see the essence and truth through it. This time he will be afraid of this monster hatched from the egg. It is that he senses its danger, a danger that transcends its body shape.
After seeing the octopus clearly, Meng Xiang not only knew that it was dangerous, but also knew that the threat it could pose to him mainly came from, and it was a threat to his soul. He was even sure that compared to his body, the damage it could cause was more from the soul. No matter what level of soul injury, the immortals of the soul were quite afraid of, unless they reached the realm of the ancestral immortal, the soul was immortal.
Of course, Meng Xiang could not have such ability. Even if his immortal soul has undergone special cultivation and has had some opportunities for different ordinary immortals, it is only for immortals with his strength and toughness to exceed the same level, which can withstand relatively large damage. However, if the damage exceeds his limit of tolerance, he will still be injured. The soul seal has something to do with the way of heaven. It undoubtedly has the ability to cause damage to his soul, so he will not be too careful.
It was precisely because of this prudence that Meng Xiang felt the threat from the core of the octopus, that is, the soul seal. He immediately made a choice and retreated. One thousand miles was already a relatively long distance for ordinary people, but for Meng Xiang and the soul seal, it was really nothing. Sometimes it did not even have much value for existence.
Meng Xiang retreated quietly without even taking away a trace of wind. He used the knife intention to open a retreat passage for him. However, just as he had moved a few feet away, the strange octopus hatched from the egg moved, pointing a tentacle at him suddenly, and then it shot at him, although the distance between them far exceeded the limit that its tentacle could stretch. But he immediately felt a strong sense of danger coming to his face.
Almost out of instinct, Meng Xiang's right foot slid to one side. Then the man slid to the right at an extremely fast speed. The situation was that his feet were not void, but extremely smooth ice surface, and the slippage slid out more than a thousand feet, which completely avoided the range of tentacles, but the result was completely different from the actual situation.
Before Meng Xiang could stand his foot, a faint phantom flew over his body, and it was on the right, less than two feet away. In other words, as long as he swiped a little faster, he was stabbed by the phantom.
I don’t know if it was because of the existence of the phantom. Meng Xiang’s figure, which seemed to require a buffering process to stop, suddenly stopped suddenly, and did not even hit the phantom that was close to him. There was almost no pause. His body slid to the left again, and the speed was faster than the last time. However, he had just slid out less than ten feet, and the phantom appeared on its left again, and this time it was closer to him, even less than one foot.
After once again, Meng Xiang magically completed a sudden stop from the highway, he did not stay in place and did not move, but rushed towards the direction he came, and the speed was much faster than the previous two times. However, this time he advanced less than five feet, and the phantom swept through the left side of his neck, and this time it was the most thrilling, it was almost completely against his neck, and the distance should be less than an inch.
In the following time, Meng Xiang was like performing a performance about his body movements. Whether it was jumping up and down, dodging left and right, or rushing forward and retreating, it had a characteristic, fast and irregular, and showed super control in every move. Don’t look at his movements as simple as a relatively large range, and the movement range was not large. Later, the space he moved was only about a piece of space the size of a house.
This shows an extraordinary difficulty in the eyes of those who are discerning. For example, an immortal is very fast, but generally requires an acceleration process, which means that he needs to move a distance to complete the speed increase. Meng Xiang's space is only the size of a house. Not to mention, it is necessary to complete the speed increase and sudden stop within such a small range. It goes without saying how high the requirements for him are.
It is precisely because Meng Xiang's performance is extremely outstanding that it is undoubtedly even more terrifying to be able to chase him and compress him to such a small range. However, the phantom was too fast, and its texture was close to transparency. It is not easy to see clearly. You can only vaguely see that it should be thinner and long.
Of course, it does not mean that Meng Xiang can't see clearly the true face of the phantom. In fact, when he was attacked by it for the first time, he had already seen the superb vision clearly. He even knew its heels and feet clearly. In fact, its origin is very simple, just a tentacle of the octopus hatched from the egg. To be more precise, it was the tentacle that pointed at him when he chose to retreat.
Although Meng Xiang has never been hit by that tentacle with his excellent body skills, strong body and excellent control, but Meng Xiang's brows are getting tighter and tighter. Not only is the tentacle very powerful, but more of the information he analyzed from it.
When Meng Xiang first saw the octopus, he made a judgment on him that it was very dangerous, especially the greatest threat to his soul, and he had not changed this conclusion yet. However, he had a greater assessment of its danger. Because he believed that it had a smaller threat to the physical threat that caused him so much attention. If it launched an attack directly against him, its danger would not be many times higher.
After contact, Meng Xiang gained a deeper understanding of the enemy, so the idea of retreat he had made before became more determined. Of course, retreat does not mean escape. In fact, there must be a battle between them, and the result is likely to be endless, so he chose to retreat. He just magnified the battlefield and had more room for maneuver. In this way, when encountering a sudden danger, he could avoid the past through some means.
In fact, another very important reason why Meng Xiang wants to distance himself from his opponent is that he doesn't want it to have direct contact. For example, now, he is constantly being chased by its tentacles, and he only chooses to dodge it. It does not mean that he has no other means to intercept him. For him, it is much easier to hit it with the long sword in his hand than to dodge its attack. But he did not do so.
Meng Xiang felt a vague feeling when the enemy's tentacles stabbed him for the first time. Its purpose was not to really hurt it with it, it was forcing him to have direct contact with it. Of course, it would be even better if it could kill or kill him.
Because he didn't know enough about the enemy, Meng Xiang didn't know what would happen after he had contacted the tentacle that was chasing him, but one thing he could be sure of was absolutely harmful and unhealthy. Combined with his previous judgment on it, if this contact really happened, his soul would inevitably be attacked.
After about twenty breaths, time was not considered a good thing, but the tentacle attack was too fast. During this period, he had countless dodges, and he gradually got tired of this seemingly endless dodge, so he had a new move. When he did another dodge, his body shaking again and again before moving, but this time, the shaking that could not be discovered without looking carefully made a big change in the situation.
In almost one tens of millions of a second, Meng Xiang changed from one to two, two to four, four to eight... The number suddenly exceeded one hundred, and both appearance and expression were exactly the same as Meng Xiang. Even in the smallest details, there was no difference. Obviously, he wanted to confuse the enemy in this way and win the chance to escape.
In fact, Meng Xiang did want to get out of this way, but in fact it is very different from the general situation. Under normal circumstances, whether it is a phantom or a clone created by a person, they will move quickly in order to achieve better results, but the "self" he created this time is very special. Although their number increases very quickly, after they appear, they all stand still, like statues.
However, the effect was quite good. The tentacle that had always been extremely brave had hesitated for the first time after Meng Xiang made so many "selfs". It seemed that it was not about attacking one, as if it could not tell which of them was real Meng Xiang. However, its hesitation was temporary. Soon it came up with a solution. Although it seemed to be a stupid method, it was a good solution, that is, to launch an attack on every Meng Xiang and take into account it all. The real Meng Xiang naturally could not hide.
Since Meng Xiang's number of differentiated himself was not large, only about five hundred, it was not a very troublesome thing to say about the tentacle. After all, it was extremely fast and it should be very fast to complete hundreds of attacks. The result was indeed like this. In almost the blink of an eye, Meng Xiang was attacked by it more than two-thirds of the total number, but its movements slowed down at this time and did not continue to attack the remaining Meng Xiang.
After the attack was launched, the tentacles discovered that Meng Xiang let these exactly the same existences as him stay in place. The biggest function they played was not to confuse him, but to provide him with a hiding place. Each of them was his hiding place. In those "Meng Xiang" attacked by it, he actually felt his existence three times, but it could not lock him. (To be continued.)
