Chapter 1 Good Luck

It was lucky.

Early the next morning, Soren stood halfway up Tea Song Mountain and looked down, seeing a large ship leaving the port of Izumo.

The three of them quickly packed their belongings and leaped off the cliff.

After a night of meditation, Soren could barely walk on his own. Qiandiao helped him down the mountain path, and he used the Rune Umbrella as a cane, walking at a decent pace.

Izumo Port was large, and in an inconspicuous corner of the street, Miko watched the two who were about to depart, her eyes glistening with tears. "Goodbye, Sister Qiandiao, Mr. Soren."

Qiandiao glanced at her, "Are you really not coming with us?"

Miko smiled, pursing her lips.

She didn't say anything.

She was afraid she couldn't help but say "yes."

Seeing her like this, Soren smiled and opened his arms. Miko didn't hesitate, and the two embraced to say goodbye.

Soren inhaled her faint fragrance, gently stroking her smooth hair, and said, "Take care."

Miko buried her head in his chest, not daring to look directly at him, "Take care, Mr. Soren."

After the three said goodbye, Soren and Qiandiao headed towards the sea ship.

Miko watched their backs, not moving her gaze for a long time.

...

After the Black Sun Festival, Edo Castle had almost cleared out all foreigners, and foreign trade had almost come to a standstill.

But these days, it had started to set sail again.

The "Hiyori," capable of carrying a thousand people, sailed from Edo, and was almost filled with people who needed to go to sea.

Soren and Qiandiao skipped the ticket and directly entered the cabin using space displacement.

The ship was packed with people, even in the cargo hold.

No one cared that there were two more people who looked like down-and-out samurai.

Soren and Qiandiao found a spot near the vent, and meditated cross-legged on a pile of cargo.

Soon, the sea ship slowly left the port.

Izumo Port was the last major port within the Hidden Mountain Domain. This ship would not stop again, and would go directly to the pirate city of Husterlin.

Having boarded the ship, their trip to the Hidden Mountain Country had finally come to an end.

Soren recalled his experience in the Hidden Mountain Country, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

He had originally come with the North Sea Ninth Fleet to collect taxes, but he didn't expect the entire fleet to be wiped out, and the situation in the Hidden Mountain Country had undergone earth-shattering changes.

Of course, the gains were not small either. He made new friends and gained the fourth-order colony equipment [Endless Stomach of the Sky-Swimming Whale], [Death Novel], [Secret Art of Escape Armor], and a lot of treasures.

As he was thinking, Soren felt like he was being watched.

He opened his eyes and looked out from the vent, just in time to see a girl in red and white shrine maiden clothes standing silently on the riverbank, watching the sea ship leave.

Qiandiao naturally saw her too, raised her eyebrows, and muttered, "Oh my, Miss Miko is such a good girl. Missing her would really be a loss."

As she said that, she didn't forget to tease Soren, "Speaking of which, you had such a good opportunity last night, didn't you try anything?"

"..."

Soren glanced at Qiandiao and didn't respond.

If it were normal, even if they shared a bed, he wouldn't be too impolite.

But after his body mutated, certain behaviors were driven by instinct and completely beyond rational control.

When he woke up in the middle of the night last night, Soren felt a strange sensation, and only then did he realize that he was not holding Qiandiao in his arms, but Miko.

His hands were also very restless, reaching into her pajamas and directly touching her smooth and delicate skin. Just as Qiandiao said, Miko's skin had an unusually silky smoothness. Large areas of skin touched, with almost no obstruction. This "trying it out" gave Soren's body a nearly greedy enjoyment, unwilling to let go actively.

What surprised Soren slightly was that Miko would naturally not be unaware of this roving hand. But she did not resist, and was too shy to move.

The two embraced each other intimately like that all night.

Qiandiao had naturally heard the rapid breathing and small movements, but she was just teasing him maliciously.

...

Soren and Qiandiao stayed in the cargo hold in a low-key manner, but they still encountered several waves of people coming to investigate.

They killed two waves silently.

After stripping their souls, they found out that they were members of the Black Dragon Society.

After all, the president of the Black Dragon Society, Miteki Yeya, had been kidnapped by him. Takeda Shinano must be looking for her everywhere, and the sea ship was definitely a top priority.

Soren killed the informants, and without information feedback, he would soon be discovered by the people on shore.

Fortunately, the sea ship set sail smoothly and entered the sea, and it was too late for the people of the Black Dragon Society to chase after them.

After sailing dozens of nautical miles out to sea, a seagull fluttered in through the vent and landed on Qiandiao's hand.

This was a messenger from her Dawn Pirates.

Knowing that there would be a major battle in Edo, Qiandiao had previously asked Lolota and other crew members to go out to sea first, and they had been waiting by the coast these days.

Soren and Qiandiao directly left the merchant ship and stayed on the sea.

They released a lifeboat and signal flares. Before long, they saw a pirate ship sailing from afar against the waves.

From a distance, Lolota and the crew on the deck were cheering, "Captain!"

Soren and Qiandiao jumped onto the ship.

Having boarded their own ship, the feeling of constantly guarding against enemies finally settled down in their hearts.

...

The pirate ship was much faster than the merchant ship, which was heavily loaded and deep in the water, and sailed all the way through the waves.

This was a well-established route. After sailing south for several days, they encountered no unexpected situations.

On this day, the weather was sunny and the sea was calm.

They saw a lighthouse on the reef area in the distance, which was the Rochesman Strait.

On the deck, the crew members of the Dawn Pirates were sitting together, gambling and laughing.

After going to the Hidden Mountain Country, they recruited several new crew members, a yokozuna-level sumo wrestler, and several samurai who pursued the way of the sword.

How a pirate group behaves has a direct relationship with the personality of the captain.

Those pirate groups that like to burn, kill, and loot are almost all scoundrels and despicable people gathered on board.

Under Qiandiao, who was a battle maniac, almost everyone was a battle maniac.

Those who they rescued, those who didn't like adventure and fighting, were given settlement money and left.

Those who stayed on the ship were almost all combat personnel who were convinced by Qiandiao's personal charm and willingly followed her.

Almost none of these people who stayed cared about the gains and losses of robbing and stealing money. They were more concerned about adventuring with their captain and enjoying the fun of adventure.

Just then, with a "crash," the wine barrel used to rest their arms during the arm wrestling was crushed into pieces by great force, and the two wrestlers were separated.

The giant race was better.

The ship burst into laughter.

"Hahaha... Captain Haguro lost!"

"Oh, Captain Humke is the strongest in our Dawn Pirates, there is no doubt about it!"

"Give the money, Tamu, you lost me a thousand riso."

"Next game, who wants to compete in swordsmanship with the new crew member, Deputy Captain Somezaki? He's a contemporary swordsman of the Shinkage-ryū..."

"Lolota, do you want to try? Otherwise, your position as the second swordsman of the Dawn Pirates may not be guaranteed."

"Oh, Lolota has fought Somezaki many times these days, and hasn't won many times. Somezaki probably thinks that challenging the captain is more challenging..."

"Yes, Somezaki, why don't you try? We also want to see how powerful Captain Qiandiao is now..."

"Oh, can you stop trying to trick me into doing something stupid? The captain has already entered the realm of Sword Saint, she will defeat me even before she draws her sword. She is the person I admire the most. But... one day, I will be as powerful as the captain."

"..."

The crew members laughed and sparred one after another.

Fists, swords, wrestling, marksmanship... even fishing and drinking.

As long as they could earn a spot in the "Dawn Pirates Rankings," the crew members were tireless and wanted to win first place.

The few dozen people on board also created some bizarre rankings: "Strongest in the Dawn Pirates," "Best Shooter," "Best Anchor Handler," "Biggest Eater," "Best Fart King"...

...

In the dim cabin.

Soren had been very reclusive since boarding the ship, and had hardly ever left the cabin.

He needed a lot of time to make puppets and study various secret techniques.

Suddenly, he heard Qiandiao's message.

He packed his things and walked onto the deck.

Almost everyone in the Dawn Pirates knew this mysterious and powerful "Mr. Soren."

They also knew that he had a very close relationship with their captain, so naturally they didn't treat him as an outsider.

As soon as Soren got on deck, the crew members greeted him warmly.

"Hey, Mr. Soren!"

"Good afternoon, Mr. Soren."

"..."

Soren smiled and responded to everyone.

He walked to the deck and jumped onto the crow's nest on the mast. At this moment, Qiandiao was blowing the sea breeze, observing the sea in the distance.

The wind on the mast was quite strong, and the sea breeze blew on his face, with a slightly fishy smell.

The crow's nest was made of two semi-circular wooden boards spliced ​​together, which was very narrow. Soren pulled the cable and hung in the air before standing firm, and asked, "What's wrong, Sister Qiandiao, did you call me up here for something?"

"Yes."

Qiandiao retracted the monocular telescope, and then said, "The Rochesman Strait is ahead, we have to be careful. The crew said that recently there have been rumors in the pirate circle that some ships have disappeared inexplicably in this sea area. There are fragments of ships on the sea, saying that some kind of deep-sea giant monster may have passed by and sunk the ships..."

"Deep-sea giant monster?"

Hearing this, Soren's eyes also narrowed slightly.

He took the telescope Qiandiao handed over and looked at it.

His eyesight was very good, and the visibility on the sea was very high today, and the sea was calm.

But he didn't see anything special.

If it was really a sea monster that could destroy sea ships, it would be very troublesome. The size was too large, and it would not be easy to hunt in the sea.

While Soren was observing, he asked, "How many ships have disappeared? Did the survivors say what kind of sea monster it was?"

Qiandiao responded, "About seven or eight, the probability is very low. They all disappeared in this nearby sea area. But the strange thing is that so far no one has heard of any survivors."

"How can there be no survivors?"

Soren immediately became alert after hearing this.

Sea monsters attack ships, either because they are disturbed or because they are hunting.

Under normal circumstances, the sea monsters that can destroy sea ships are very huge, and even if they are hunting, there will always be survivors.

No survivors, this is very suspicious.

It's a bit like deliberately "killing them all."

Moreover, if it was a sea monster passing by, sinking one or two sea ships would be fine, but seven or eight ships?

In other words, that sea monster may still be entrenched in this nearby sea area?

Soren suddenly felt a little troubled.

Not to mention how strong the deep-sea giant monster was, if their Dawn Pirates were sunk, it would be a big problem.

Thinking of this, he carefully searched the sea with his telescope.

Sure enough, he could see some floating wooden barrels and broken wooden planks.

Further away, on the black reefs a dozen nautical miles away, was the landmark lighthouse.

...

The Rochesman Strait itself was nothing special, but its geographical location was special, it was the throat of the sea. The sea routes in the large sea area to the north all converged here, and it was almost a necessary path from there to the pirate city.

If you want to detour, it will probably take more than twice as long.

This was a mature route that had been in operation for hundreds of years, and there was almost no danger except for occasional robberies by unidentified pirates.

Qiandiao's eyebrows were always furrowed. The Dawn Pirates were her family's foundation, and naturally she wouldn't let it be sunk by a sea monster. She said, "Soren, your perception is stronger than mine, perceive more whether there are any more monsters approaching under the sea."

"Yes."

Soren nodded, also thinking about what kind of sea monster it was.

Deep-sea king eel? Those irritable sea monsters do like to attack passing ships, but they usually don't stay in one area for too long; schools of serrated piranhas? That's not right, those sea fish will eat the humans who fall into the water clean, but they pose almost no threat to large ships; short-nosed pufferfish known as "sailboat killers"? Temperate climates are not suitable for those schools of fish to survive either...

Soren had previously harvested the souls of many pirates, and knew a lot about the types of marine gods.

But he racked his brains and couldn't think of any sea monster that fit the current situation.

Excluding this, he unconsciously thought: What if it's not a sea monster, but man-made?

Soren's thoughts suddenly flew.

It wasn't surprising that he would think so, because he had personally encountered such a situation before.

...

That time, Duke Raphael's super battleship intercepted the [Neuro-Mechanical Blueprint] that was wandering outside. Except for him who survived because of the substitute puppet, none of the thousands of people on that group of merchant ships survived.

Killing them all was naturally to keep it secret.

This also satisfied the logic of the case.

But...

The sky in front of him was sunny, there was no natural fog, and there was no fog of war.

There was no sign of a warship at all.

Could it be Mafia's submarine?

That's not right... the relationship between the Mafia Empire and Oleg is currently in a state of ambiguity. It has often been heard that submarines are sent to deliver military supplies, but it doesn't make sense to attack passing ships. Many pirate ships don't even cost as much as a torpedo.

There's no motivation at all.

But the location of the Rochesman Strait is very special. If you want to intercept certain special ships, this is indeed the most convenient place.

Soren felt that if this idea was right, then perhaps there was something "special" among the disappeared sea ships that was worth ambushing?

Thinking of this, he glanced at Qiandiao beside him and asked, "Sister Qiandiao, did you get any other information? I always feel like there's something strange about this."

"No."

Qiandiao shook her head, her cyan hair fluttering in the sea breeze. "I just have a feeling that we may encounter some situations."

"Feeling?"

Soren's eyes turned to the side as he listened.

After professionals advance to higher levels, certain special perception abilities similar to "sixth sense" will indeed become stronger and stronger. Qiandiao has now advanced to the "Sword Saint Realm," comprehended domineering, and awakened the legendary three-stage [Rakshasa Girl] talent, and her strength has indeed undergone earth-shattering changes compared to before.

Qiandiao nodded and said, "After dying once in the Land of the Underworld last time, my ability to sense danger has become stronger and stronger. The closer I get to this sea area near the Rochesman Strait, the more I feel that there is 'something' under the sea."

Even so, they wouldn't be frightened into changing their course by a sea monster.

What's more, the possibility of encountering a sea monster is even greater on a new route.

Soren frowned slightly as he listened to Qiandiao's words. He didn't dare to underestimate her, and pinched the sorcerer's seal with both hands, and slapped it towards the void: "Summoning Technique - Release!"

With a "bang," a black crow flew out.

The doom bird did not crow, which meant that there was no fatal danger.

But he still released the black crow and let it circle in the sky, overlooking the entire sea area from a high altitude.

Soren also took out the Rune Black Umbrella and opened it, and his perception was instantly released. Although seawater would hinder some perception, he could at least perceive the area more than a hundred meters underwater. Although the seawater in this area was very deep, if a big guy really approached the sea ship, he would be able to discover it in advance.

...

Soren and Qiandiao stopped on the mast.

It would take about half a day to pass through this sea area. The two sat there, one comprehending the way of the sword, and the other carving strange puppets.

Qiandiao's premonition was intermittent, but it never dissipated.

Naturally, they did not dare to be careless.

It was about dusk, and the sky was already filled with red clouds.

Suddenly, the black crow in the sky crowed "Ga Ga."

Soren's expression suddenly became stern, and he also sensed something almost at the same time, and shouted softly, "Something swam past, very fast!"

Qiandiao put her hand on the hilt of her sword and asked, "Is it really a sea monster?"

Soren frowned slightly, recalled for a moment, and said, "It doesn't seem like it. The volume is not too big, about ten meters. It just passed under our ship and went in the direction of ten o'clock."

"Only ten meters?"

Qiandiao looked puzzled.

Marine life of about ten meters is only in the category of "food" and poses almost no threat to sea ships.

Able to destroy so many ships, she thought it was a big guy at least a hundred meters long.

But the black crow would give a warning, which meant that there was indeed danger approaching.

Qiandiao didn't dare to be careless, and shouted loudly, "Everyone be on guard!"

"Okay, Captain!"

On the deck, everyone had been on guard all afternoon, and immediately became energetic when they heard this.

...

Soren released the black crow and chased in the direction of ten o'clock.

After the black crow flew a hundred meters, the field of vision instantly widened. In the shared field of vision, he saw several shadows flashing quickly in the blue seawater.

"A group of marine life?"

This time, Soren seemed to have seen it clearly, and muttered, "There are tentacles, like a dozen octopuses, looking like they are hunting."

Qiandiao said in surprise, "Octopus?"

When she heard this term, her mind was full of "takoyaki" and "octopus hot pot."

Could this food-level marine life capsize a big ship?

However, in the next second, a violent explosion suddenly erupted on the sea in the distance.

"Rumble!"

The explosion was deafening.

Everyone on the deck could see clearly that dozens of meters high white waves rose into the sky, just two or three nautical miles away from the Dawn Pirates!

...

Underwater explosion?

Soren was still a little confused when he saw it. This was obviously not the movement of an underwater volcanic eruption. On the contrary, seeing the shape of the explosion beam spreading, he confirmed that it was the firelight produced by alchemical gunpowder such as high-explosive torpedoes.

That also meant that there was really a Mafia submarine underwater?

Were the few octopuses just now heading for the submarine?

Although he didn't understand what happened, Soren shouted loudly, "Turn the bow and stay away from the explosion direction!"

Once a battle occurred, it also meant that they were "lucky" and had really come into contact with the truth about the recent sinking of ships near this strait.

It also meant that they were very likely to be "silenced"!

Hearing the order, the sailors on the deck quickly turned the rudder and changed course. The sails billowed, and the ship sailed at full speed away from the explosion.

At this moment, a submarine quickly surfaced on the sea not far from the explosion.

When he saw the iron lump of more than a hundred meters floating up from the sea, Soren finally understood what happened.

"Mechanical octopus? What's going on..."

Soren was really stunned for a moment.

He guessed the beginning, but not the rank.

He wouldn't be surprised to see mechanical submarines here. Only the Mafia Empire's military had mastered this technology. It was really hard to say how many submarines there were in the Luying rear.

But... what the hell was that mechanical octopus?

Soren's eyes shrank. He had sensed and seen the things in the sea before, but how could he have thought that these would be mechanical creatures with souls.

There was only one family with this technology.

In an instant, he thought of something: "Neuro-mechanical technology, Duke Raphael!"

In front of him, dozens of mechanical octopuses used the suckers on their mechanical tentacles to firmly attach to the submarine hull, and then various "ion cutters" began to prepare to break through the hull.

Like plaster stuck to a dog's skin, they couldn't be hit or shaken off!

The submarine had no choice but to surface. Several soldiers wearing Mafia mechanical battle armor were ejected from the submarine and fought with the mechanical octopuses!

...

"These mechanical octopuses, are they capturing submarines?"

Seeing this situation, Soren instantly understood everything.

Those mechanical octopuses didn't simply want to sink the mechanical submarine, but were obviously cutting it according to a plan, wanting to preserve the submarine's hull as completely as possible.

Both the Mafia and Luying empires coveted Duke Raphael's "neuro-mechanical technology," but Raphael himself also coveted this advanced submarine technology.

It's not easy to find on the battlefield. Recently, the relationship between the Mafia and the North Sea King was ambiguous, so waiting for a rabbit to appear in this strait would greatly increase the chance of catching a submarine!

This sea area may have been hunted by mechanical octopuses recently.

They usually won't attack, and will only appear when they encounter a submarine.

This also explained why those sea ships that passed by would sink in this vicinity with a small probability.

It was probably just bad luck that they happened to encounter a submarine passing by and were affected by the capture operation.

"Duke Raphael has really created a mechanical monster legion, how many tricks does that guy have hidden..."

Soren had previously speculated that since he could make "super mechanical warriors," then in theory there would also be a "super small mechanical monster" legion.

But he didn't expect that there would actually be finished products!

Duke Raphael relied on "neuro-mechanical technology" to overtake on a curve. With this technology in hand, even the Luying royal family's "sea power" was far inferior to Duke Raphael's!

Even Mafia, the mechanical holy land, would be weaker!

Thinking of this, Soren couldn't help but call out how wonderful it was.

The current situation in Luying is really getting more and more complicated.

If the North Sea King Oleg hadn't suddenly claimed the title of king and the Luying rear had fallen into chaos, who knew how long that conspirator Duke Raphael would have to endure.

When the "mechanical monster legion" really reaches scale, that will be the real "sea overlord."

No wonder they wanted to "kill them all" to keep it secret. With this method, the later it was exposed, the better.

Now that it was exposed in advance, only the submarine technology was worth him exposing it.

...

But Soren didn't care about the power struggles between those nobles. He himself had been studying "neuro-mechanical technology" recently. Now, looking at these living mechanical octopuses, he seemed to see walking "technology libraries," and his eyes shone brightly.

His own ideas were still in the theoretical stage, but now he had finished products!

This may be the result of decades of effort and countless resources from the Raphael family.

The key was that this thing was too suitable for a golem master!

Soren felt that if he really got it, he would definitely take a "shortcut" that would save him decades of effort!

At this time, the battle broke out, and three shadows appeared in the sea, passing by quickly.

The speed was very fast, faster than the Dawn Pirates sailing at full speed, and it looked like they would catch up soon.

They were coming to "kill and silence"!

Qiandiao also saw the monsters chasing quickly in the sea, and with a "clang" her long sword was unsheathed, and a strange sword energy rose into the sky.

Seeing this, Soren exclaimed, "Sister Qiandiao, try not to hurt them, keep them intact! I have great use for this thing!"

This mechanical octopus was more valuable than a warship. Even if the ship was sunk, he thought it was worth capturing it and bringing it back.

Hearing this, Qiandiao also shouted softly, "Okay!"

Soren said again, "Use the fog of war, use the alchemical sails..."

He didn't plan to fight immediately.

Since there were mechanical octopuses here, but the level of intelligence of the octopuses was not enough to form an organized battle, then there must be a professional from Duke Raphael nearby controlling them.

In an unclear situation, directly participating in that kind of battle was definitely not a good choice.

Now, while those mechanical octopuses were fighting fiercely with the Luying mecha warriors on the submarine, they had to run as far as possible.

Hearing the instructions, the crew members on the deck immediately shouted and began to work.

As soon as the fog of war was released at the stern, a thick fog immediately filled the sea, instantly cutting off the sea horizon.

The light of the light blue alchemy formation on the sails was shining brightly. After consuming a large amount of energy crystals, the speed also increased greatly.

...

Solo pirate groups are usually not big groups, so only three mechanical octopuses chased after them.

They were underestimated.

Soren was also happy to see this, this was a good thing.

Qiandiao was only staring at the shadow that was getting closer and closer in the distance at the stern.

Even consuming tens of thousands of riso of energy crystals couldn't shake them off. No wonder the ships encountered before had no survivors escaping.

However, having figured out what it was, she was relieved instead.

It wasn't some super giant sea monster, it wasn't difficult for Qiandiao to kill.

She looked at Soren next to her and asked, "This thing is very agile, and it can even cut through the steel armor of submarines. Our ship can't hold it at all."

"Yes."

Soren narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded, and said, "I have a way."

Octopuses are soft-bodied creatures that are difficult to deal with. They are good at entanglement, strangulation, and adsorption... After mechanical modification, their functionality is even better. If they are allowed to get close to the sea ship, this kind of wooden sailboat will probably not be able to hold out for even a moment.

But after observing for so long, he also thought of a way to restrain this kind of mechanical octopus.

The sound of battle behind him was getting farther and farther away.

Soren still didn't rush to take action.

The two sides chased and fled, running for a full quarter of an hour, and the distance was getting closer and closer.

On the deck, the crew members who had nothing to do gathered at the stern, holding weapons and on full alert.

Only then did they see the monsters chasing them in the water clearly, and everyone was greatly surprised.

Seeing that their captain and Soren were both calm and composed, everyone wasn't very nervous.

Someone asked, "Captain, what the hell is that thing? It looks like an octopus, but why is it an iron lump?"

Qiandiao spread her hands, "How would I know?"

Not many people know about neuro-mechanical technology, and even fewer have seen it.

Not to mention this kind of "mechanical monster."

Lolota glanced at Soren and asked, "Mr. Soren, do you know what that is?"

Soren replied, "As you can see, this is a kind of mechanical monster."

"Ah?"

Lolota didn't quite understand.

Luying's mechanical technology was already backward. Seeing this technology that was too far ahead of the times, she naturally couldn't understand it.

Soren didn't explain much, because he himself didn't understand many of the technologies on this mechanical octopus.

They weren't idle either, and shot at the three mechanical octopuses in the water with guns and cannons.

But... naturally it was of no use.

"Hypolytus titanium manganese alloy? The technological content is really high..."

Soren looked at the identification and saw that it was a special alloy he had seen on the body of a super mechanical warrior, and ordinary guns and cannons couldn't hurt it at all.

Naturally, it couldn't be bought outside.

At this moment, the three octopuses had chased within a hundred meters, and suddenly accelerated!

"They should have reached the attack distance and activated the sprint program..."

Soren keenly observed that the kinetic energy boilers of the mechanical octopuses had obvious energy fluctuations, which was not unexpected.

Looking at it this way, they probably wanted to sink them in one fell swoop.

But at this moment, Soren's eight-armed spider spear suddenly pulled, and countless transparent silk threads suddenly solidified, and in an instant wove into a huge dragnet at the stern.

As soon as the three mechanical octopuses accelerated, they crashed into the silk net. They still wanted to struggle, but at this moment, Soren suddenly pulled them out of the water.

If a monster is powerful in the water, pull it out of the water;

If they are very powerful in the sky, restrict them to the ground;

In this way, the combat power will be reduced by more than 80%.

The same was true for these three mechanical octopuses, which were pulled into the air by Soren's net.

Although this mechanical octopus was powerful, it was easy to deal with if there was a way to restrain it.

They restrain submarines and mechanical armor, those "hard things."

But they were helpless against silk threads, these "soft things."

As soon as the mechanical octopus left the water, it frantically used its tentacles to entangle...

However, Soren's [Thousand Threads] colony equipment had unlimited hair, no matter how much you entangle, I will release as much as you entangle.

Soon, the three octopuses had no leverage at all and were directly entangled into cocoons. Even if there were cutting tools, the cutting speed was still not as fast as the entanglement speed.

Soren didn't want to kill such a precious research product. His three-stage alchemy colony equipment [Mental Tentacles] also came in handy.

One silk thread after another drilled into the mechanical octopus along those interface gaps...

The more flexible the mechanical product is, the less likely it is to have full armor coverage.

Soren's silk thread easily found some nerve tissues.

But at this moment, he also discovered that these mechanical octopuses seemed to be unable to get rid of them and actually triggered self-destruction programs.

"You still want to self-destruct?"

Soren discovered the abnormal nerve signal and sneered in his heart.

Others would be helpless in this situation. Even if they caught these mechanical octopuses, all they would get in the end would be a pile of scrap metal.

Unfortunately, Soren himself could be considered an expert in the field of neuro-mechanical technology!

How could he not know that if this octopus wanted to control the mecha, it must have a complete nervous system.

He easily found the nerve center with silk threads and directly cut off the self-destruction order.

The three mechanical octopuses were instantly unable to move.

Looking at the spoils he had seized, Soren's eyes glowed with heat.
