I'm the administrator of the National Fortune Arena at the start of the game; I'll hand it

"Captain, what do we do now? These tentacles are wrapped too tightly! If this continues, the outer shell of our base will be strangled to death sooner or later!"

Zhang Wei's voice trembled with tears as he watched the red alert zone on the structural analysis chart rise continuously.

That giant squid was incredibly powerful. Like a patient hunter, it used its hundreds of strong tentacles to constantly tighten and squeeze the base's living space bit by bit.

"Don't panic!" Wang Yi's voice came clearly through the team's communication channel to everyone's ears. "Its main body is just 300 meters directly below us! Now, everyone listen to my commands!"

"Chen Hu, Zhao Zihan, you two go to the armory and bring out all the high-explosive torpedoes! Aim them at the launch ports at the bottom!"

"Li Bingyao, be ready to provide treatment at any time, and keep an eye on the team members who haven't fully recovered!"

"Everyone else, stay in your positions and be ready to respond to any unexpected situations!"

"Wu Qiong!" Wang Yi called out one last time.

"Here!" A thin figure appeared beside Wang Yi like a ghost.

He is Wu Qiong, the space-age ability user in the team. A man who is usually quiet and unassuming, but always able to produce miraculous results at crucial moments.

"Your task is the most important." Wang Yi's gaze fell on him, extremely solemn. "Do you see those red dots I marked for you?"

Through Wu Qiong's tactical goggles, the three-dimensional map constructed by Wang Yi using the sonar gainer had already been shared.

On that map, Wang Yi marked the most vulnerable joints of the hundreds of tentacles that entangled the base with glaring red dots.

"I need you. Use your spatial abilities to... cut them all off!" Wang Yi said, enunciating each word clearly.

Wu Qiong looked at the densely packed red dots, numbering in the hundreds, and even with his calm demeanor, he couldn't help but gasp.

Simultaneously cutting through hundreds of targets?

This will consume an astronomical amount of his mental energy!

Moreover, under the immense water pressure of the deep sea, the energy required for each spatial traversal and cutting is much greater than that on land.

This is almost an impossible task.

"Captain, I..." Wu Qiong's face was a little pale, "My energy might... not be enough."

"I know," Wang Yi nodded. "So, you don't need to finish it all at once."

Just then, Su Yuan's voice rang out in Wu Qiong's mind at just the right moment.

"Wu Qiong, don't worry about the energy issue."

A bottle, emitting a soft blue light and as clear as crystal, appeared out of thin air in Wu Qiong's hand.

[Product: Advanced Mental Energy Restoration Potion]

Price: 5000 National Fortune Points

[Effect: Instantly restores 80% of the user's mental energy, and greatly increases the mental energy recovery speed for the next hour.]

"Besides, who said you're fighting alone?"

With a thought, Su Yuan consumed another 3000 national fortune points.

[Ding! The player Wu Qiong has been temporarily buffed with the 'Spatial Coordinate Enhancement' status!]

[Effect: With the administrator's computing power assistance, each of your spatial positioning operations will receive absolutely precise coordinate corrections, significantly reducing mental energy consumption and enhancing the power of spatial cutting.]

As Wu Qiong felt the surging spiritual energy emanating from the potion in his hand, he glanced at the red dots in his field of vision, which were connected by golden lines to form a perfectly cut path. The last trace of doubt in his heart vanished.

He is no longer alone.

Behind him are his captain, his teammates, and even more so, the omnipotent administrator!

"I guarantee I will complete the mission!" Wu Qiong nodded heavily, his eyes becoming incredibly determined.

Without further hesitation, he tilted his head back and drank the bottle of advanced mental energy recovery potion in one gulp.

A cool torrent instantly rushed into his mind, and his brain, which had been somewhat drowsy due to the depletion of his mental energy, instantly became clearer and stronger than ever before!

"Now!"

Wu Qiong's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

The next second, he appeared in the seawater outside the base.

He ignored the terrifying water pressure, enough to crush an ordinary person into a meat patty, and also ignored the thick ink, which was full of mental pollution.

In his eyes, there were only the cut points connected by golden lines.

"Space... rift!"

Wu Qiong stretched out his hands and made a sudden slash in the air!

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Dozens of pitch-black spatial rifts, seemingly capable of swallowing all light, silently formed in the seawater!

These cracks, like dozens of the sharpest dimensional blades, appeared precisely at the marked tentacle joints!

There was no sound, no explosion.

There was only an eerie silence.

Those enormous tentacles, thicker than trains, were sliced ​​in two the instant they touched the spatial rift, as cleanly as a hot knife through butter!

The cut was as smooth as a mirror, without a trace of blood flowing out, because all the flesh and blood were swept into an unknown dimension the moment they came into contact with the crack in space.

"Awooo—!"

A roar, filled with extreme pain and emanating from the depths of the soul, came from the darkness directly below the base!

In that instant, the once-arrogant giant squid lost nearly half of its tentacles!

The excruciating pain of the severed limb drove it into an unprecedented frenzy!

Its remaining dozens of tentacles suddenly loosened their grip on the base, and instead, like wildly dancing demonic whips, lashed out wildly in all directions, trying to find the enemy that had harmed it.

However, Wu Qiong's figure had already returned to the base through spatial teleportation the moment the attack was launched.

"Well done!" Wang Yi shouted excitedly.

However, after suffering a severe injury, the giant squid's first reaction was not revenge, but... to escape!

Its massive body spewed out even more ink in an attempt to conceal its presence, while it fled at an astonishing speed toward the deep trench from which it had come.

It was afraid.

Inside this small tin can lived a group of terrifying creatures that made it feel threatened with death.

"Trying to run away?"

In the operations center, Su Yuan looked at the monitor screen and sneered.

"We've worked so hard to deliver these S-grade materials to your doorstep; there's no reason for you to let them get away!"

"Since you're here, stay behind as reinforcements and supplies for my team!"

He immediately issued a hidden mission to Wang Yi.

Hidden Quest: Core Hunt

[Mission Description: Hunt down and completely kill the mutated king UKER, and obtain the deep-sea psionic crystal core within his body.]

[Task Rewards: Determined based on performance.]

[Mission Hint: This crystal core can be used to enhance a player's mental resistance and has a certain chance of awakening mental-related supernatural abilities.]

Wang Yi's eyes lit up instantly when he saw the mission notification.

Mental resistance! Mental ability!

This was a godsend for the Dragon Team, who had just suffered from mental pollution and almost been wiped out!

"Chen Hu! Zhao Zihan! Are the torpedoes ready?" Wang Yi shouted into the channel.

"Ready!"

"Break off all its remaining legs! Today, we're having grilled squid!"
