The guards motioned for the few of them to step aside, and Meng Huai went to observe from a distance. However, as the jellyfish was completely ensnared by the net and unable to move, the venomous stingers on its tentacles still protruded.
Meng Huai immediately shouted, "Careful! Venomous stingers!"
The jellyfish's tentacles managed to pierce through the netting, and from a considerable distance. The closest single soldiers had their mechs directly penetrated.
"Puff."
Several single soldiers spat out a mouthful of blood. Meng Huai noticed the venomous stingers passing through the net, but she couldn't save everyone.
The moment Meng Huai saw the venomous stingers, she instantly moved to the nearest guards. Using her saber, she either blocked or sliced through the stingers, saving about a quarter of the people.
However, this was still a minority. In an instant, most of the guards here were injured.
Meng Huai took out two bottles of antidote pills and threw them to someone, telling him, "Give one detox pill to each of those who were stung by the venomous stingers, and you all retreat."
The guard who caught the bottle of antidote pills listened to the words of this female student, who could resist without a mech, and found them remarkably familiar.
How could they not be familiar? He had just yelled for these students to retreat, with the intention of them not hindering their capture of the jellyfish.
Who would have thought these exact words would be returned to him!
Meng Huai watched as the jellyfish was about to break free from the net. The guards had already retreated, and without them holding the net, its effectiveness was greatly reduced.
The uninjured guards, two helping one, three helping two, led their companions to a side position. The single soldier holding the pill bottle was about to rush forward to help Meng Huai.
However, before he could take two steps, Rong Feishen blocked his path. "Give them the medicine first. I believe you know the harm of this poison better than we do. There are no medical pods here. By the time the medical pods arrive, will they still be alive!"
Hearing Rong Feishen's words, which were both persuasive and alarming, the man gritted his teeth and resolutely decided to try. He administered a pill to everyone.
Zheng Yiran was focused on the battle, watching Meng Huai sever tentacles with just a couple of saber strikes. However, the jellyfish had too many tentacles, and this approach wouldn't work.
It was likely that Meng Huai alone had severed many of the jellyfish's tentacles. After breaking free from the net, the jellyfish became enraged. Waves surged from the sea, and many things were heading their way.
Zheng Yiran, sensing this, quickly said, "You two, hurry and help! Many starfish beasts are coming this way!"
The jellyfish was of high level; it possessed its own consciousness and could also guide other star beasts to its aid through special means.
Meng Huai took out a section of golden rope from her spatial ring, infused it with spiritual energy, and the rope instantly became very long.
Holding one end of the rope with her left hand, she shouted, "Xue Chang Jing, here!"
As she spoke, she tossed the other end to Jing Yuancheng. Meng Huai's position was perfectly to the left and right of the jellyfish.
Jing Yuancheng didn't know what Meng Huai was planning to do, but he instinctively caught the rope and held it tight. Then, he watched as Meng Huai ran two circles with the rope, loosely wrapping it around the jellyfish's tentacles twice.
Zheng Yiran, observing the battle, reminded them, "Hui Xingxiu, lure away the other star beasts. Jing Yuancheng, just listen to Meng Huai."
Zheng Yiran didn't know the purpose of the loosely tied rope. Although it seemed to have no effect on the jellyfish at the moment, she had a feeling it couldn't be that simple.
At the same time, Xie Xue and a few others arrived. They looked at the three students battling the jellyfish and star beasts in the sea, and then at the pile of their subordinates lying on the shore. They couldn't describe the feeling.
Xie Xue had received notification that the jellyfish was here and had rushed over, only to find the situation like this!
Xie Xue ordered his accompanying subordinates, "Hurry and help!"
After speaking, he was the first to charge forward, intending to bombard the jellyfish with cannons.
However, just as he had given the command to his mech and before confirming it, the girl said, "Don't fire!"
Xie Xue looked at Meng Huai, who was holding the rope, unsure of what she was doing.
"You guys move aside, I'll take over here!"
However, no one paid attention to Xie Xue. Hui Xingxiu was still fighting other star beasts. He said to Xie Xue, "Commander, please help me here! I'm overwhelmed by the sheer number of star beasts!"
Although they were all low-level, the sheer quantity was immense!
Meng Huai saw Xie Xue stop and reminded Jing Yuancheng, "Xue Chang Jing, hold on tight!"
Then, she began chanting the incantation for the Immortal Binding Rope. That's right, the rope was the Immortal Binding Rope.
With the incantation and spiritual energy, the rope could freely change its size and length.
As the incantation was spoken, the rope shrunk and tightened. It tightened so much that the tentacles were bound together. Meng Huai then threw the rope in her hand to Jing Yuancheng.
The jellyfish, sensing its inability to move, struggled forcefully.
Jing Yuancheng caught the rope and held it tightly, but the jellyfish's strength was clearly greater, given its size. The disparity in strength caused Jing Yuancheng to be flung back and forth while holding the rope.
Jing Yuancheng was in a sorry state, constantly being thrown into the sea. He would struggle to get up, but no matter what, he never let go of the rope in his hand.
This was because Jing Yuancheng trusted that Meng Huai had her own plan. Indeed, Meng Huai held her saber, channeling all her spiritual energy into it.
She took a few steps back, about ten meters away from the jellyfish.
"Get out of the way!"
Meng Huai roared, her voice resonating and shocking everyone. Instinctively, they all moved aside.
Meng Huai raised her saber and unleashed an aerial slash. The saber energy, imbued with spiritual energy, moved forward relentlessly, severing the jellyfish's tentacles at their roots.
The jellyfish's tentacles separated from its bell-shaped body, and it no longer needed to struggle; it was immediately lifeless.
Xie Xue, who had watched the entire process, was stunned into silence. This giant jellyfish that had been troubling them was now severed from its head and tail?
After Meng Huai severed the jellyfish's tentacles, she extended her palm, and the Immortal Binding Rope returned to her hand.
As for the other star beasts, they had all been summoned by the jellyfish. With the jellyfish dead, they lost their will to fight and fled in all directions.
In just a moment, the seaside that was just moments ago a turbulent expanse of waves became calm.
Because Meng Huai had killed the jellyfish, and the jellyfish was no ordinary 3S-level star beast, the points awarded in this area were not the same as for other 3S-level star beasts. The points for this jellyfish had increased several times over, so Meng Huai's points instantly rose to the middle tier.
Meng Huai directly threw a top-grade fire talisman into the tentacles. The tentacles were already sinking to the bottom, but Meng Huai controlled them. Regardless of whether it was on the sea surface, the tentacles ignited.
The fire burned fiercely, and the tentacles turned to ash in seconds.
This way, the venomous stingers on the tentacles would no longer pose a threat to anyone. Meng Huai then tossed the jellyfish's bell-shaped body to Hui Xingxiu, who received it and tacitly stored it away.
"We'll stir-fry it tonight!"
