At this moment, He Ao had no time to mind the intense, pungent smell.
The Giant Lizard's cleaved body collided with the oncoming tentacles, momentarily hindering their attack. He Ao took the opportunity to roll backwards, dodging the assault from the tentacles.
He Ao glanced at the short sword in his hand, still sticky with the half-coagulated biological tissue of the Giant Lizard—the blade hadn't been notched at all.
The sword was still effective in breaking through the defenses of an E-level exotic beast like the Giant Lizard; its quality was not as bad as he thought.
Perhaps the Research Institute's initial design had been intended to counter E-level exotic beasts.
He Ao flourished his sword, both hands on the hilt, and looked up at the Octopus Monster.
The Octopus Monster's tentacles pierced through the Giant Lizard's body, creating a through-and-through hole before carelessly tossing it aside, and once more launched an attack toward He Ao.
