343: Chapter 352 Octopus Farm?!
After pulling the Giant Octopus out of the water, Little Scar finally used fire.
The fire roared, charring two of the Giant Octopus's tentacles.
Immediately, the aroma of roasted octopus wafted through the cave.
An Ke and his group's eyes all lit up at the scent.
"Holy crap! This thing can be added to Crazy Thursday!" Jingang said excitedly.
"This Little Mouse wants to eat!!" As he spoke, Three Hairs wiggled his butt and ran toward the lake.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
An Ke hurriedly stopped Three Hairs: "What are you doing? Aren't you afraid of being slapped into the lake and following in your grandfather's footsteps?"
The Giant Octopus was injured, but that didn't mean it was dead.
Three Hairs' durability was indeed high enough that he didn't need to be afraid, but what if he was knocked into the lake?
This little guy was a real landlubber.
Actually, An Ke didn't understand how Three Hairs, being a mouse, could possibly not know how to swim.
Maybe it was genetics; after all, his grandfather couldn't swim either.
"Men die for wealth, and mice die for food!" Three Hairs declared solemnly while being held in An Ke's hand.
An Ke was a bit speechless at the little guy.
"Just hold on. Once Little Scar finishes it off, there will be plenty to eat."
To the side, Aman felt it was quite a pity.
"What a shame! There's only this one Lake Monster at the bottom of the lake.
Once we eat it, it's gone."
Aman's words sparked an idea in An Ke's mind.
Octopus tentacles can grow back indefinitely.
As long as there is enough energy supply.
At this moment, An Ke suddenly had a brilliant idea: he planned to establish an "Octopus Farm"!
In the lake.
The Giant Octopus looked at its two injured tentacles, reaching the peak of its rage.
However, its eyes also held more wariness toward Little Scar.
This guy could actually conjure fire out of thin air...
It didn't understand how Little Scar did it.
Wouldn't the opponent get burned themselves?
Isn't fire something that all living creatures fear?
No! I must get into the lake water to fight this guy...
The Giant Octopus was scared.
However, what the Giant Octopus didn't know was that the burst of fire just now was the last bit of flame remaining in the Portable Space.
Because of the target's massive size, the fire needed to be fierce enough.
Therefore, all the fire had been used up.
But what did that matter?
The Giant Octopus didn't know, so it served as an invisible deterrent.
It made the octopus afraid to go all out.
The Giant Octopus intended to go back into the lake.
Seeing this, Little Scar immediately pounced forward.
He didn't want to give the Giant Octopus a chance.
The strength he had just burst out to pull the Giant Octopus out of the water might not be available a second time.
If it were allowed back into the lake, the subsequent battle would be extremely troublesome.
"Where do you think you're going!"
As Little Scar pounced, a giant rock appeared out of thin air in his palm.
No! At this moment, describing it as a brick would be more appropriate.
Arriving in front of the Giant Octopus, Little Scar didn't hesitate for a second, raising the rock and slamming it down "thwack thwack" onto the Giant Octopus's head.
The latter was beaten until its head spun.
It couldn't help but curse: "Wait! Who the hell are you?"
"How can you conjure rocks out of thin air?"
The Giant Octopus could not comprehend it at all, but it was deeply shocked.
At this moment, it was filled with regret; if it had known, it wouldn't have tried to catch this guy.
Not only did it fail to fill its stomach, but now it might even lose its life. It was a massive loss.
The Giant Octopus began to flee.
"Not knocked out yet?"
Little Scar got angry. The rock in his hand disappeared, replaced by stalks of bamboo.
He then stabbed them fiercely into the Giant Octopus's tentacles.
In pain and fear, the Giant Octopus immediately flailed its tentacles, trying to break free.
But another stalk of bamboo appeared in Little Scar's hand.
Back when An Ke's group first arrived at the Bamboo Forest, they had put a lot of bamboo into the space to clear a spot for their camp.
Now it was coming in handy.
One, two, three... the stalks of bamboo were like nails, firmly pinning down the Giant Octopus's tentacles.
At the same time, each pinning further shattered the Giant Octopus's worldview.
What kind of monkey carries that much bamboo on them?
Do you think you're a panda?
When enough bamboo had been stabbed in, even the Giant Octopus could not break free.
Now, the Giant Octopus had completely lost any possibility of escape.
"Heh! Can't run now, can you?" Little Scar chuckled.
"Don't be afraid, you won't be in pain for much longer."
Seeing another rock appear in Little Scar's hand, the Giant Octopus's heart was filled with despair.
My fish life is over!
The Giant Octopus began to reminisce about its life.
The first half of its life was lived happily and freely, with no rivals in sight.
But due to an accident, it was sucked into an underwater whirlpool, and after a dizzying spin, it arrived in this lake.
During the period when it first arrived, it thought it was going to die.
Octopuses cannot adapt to freshwater and can only survive in saltwater.
However, unexpectedly, a miracle happened, and it survived.
Not only did it survive, but it also became the overlord of this lake.
It lived even more freely; there was an endless supply of food in this lake, making it practically a natural buffet.
Almost every day, it was either eating or on its way to eat. Life was incredibly pleasant.
However, one day, this happiness came to an abrupt halt.
It discovered with horror that the food in the lake was becoming scarcer and scarcer.
In the massive lake, it was almost the only creature left.
And so began its painful and agonizing days of starvation... until now.
The Giant Octopus's eyes watched the rock about to fall, and it silently lowered its head.
Its life was coming to an end.
It was quite a pity; it hadn't done anything great.
It had just lived an ordinary life and wouldn't be remembered by other octopuses.
But just then, a loud voice echoed through the cave.
"Little Scar, wait."
"Spare this Giant Octopus's life. I plan to make a deal with it."
A faint glimmer of light flickered in the Giant Octopus's previously dead eyes.
It looked toward the sound and saw that the speaker was a small, two-legged standing creature on the shore.
That creature was tiny, not even enough to fill the gaps between its teeth.
This caused the light that had just flickered in the Giant Octopus's eyes to extinguish.
It sneered in its heart: Truly overestimating himself.
How could the life-and-death decision between giant beasts be swayed by a tiny creature like you?
In the Giant Octopus's view, An Ke speaking up to stop Little Scar from killing it was an act of extreme overconfidence.
How could a behemoth like Little Scar listen to a tiny Two-legged Beast?
If it were the octopus, it would definitely let An Ke know who was the boss.
However, to the Giant Octopus's surprise, Little Scar actually tossed the rock in his hand into the lake water.
The most ridiculous part was that he was even scolded by that tiny Two-legged Beast for this action.
An Ke rebuked Little Scar for not knowing the value of the rocks, saying he had spent a long time finding them.
Then Little Scar awkwardly and hurriedly began to grope around in the lake water to find them.
The Giant Octopus was stunned.
What?! You're a giant beast too, for goodness' sake!!
And a powerhouse who defeated me.
Is it really okay to be ordered around by a tiny Two-legged Beast?
