Chapter 137 An Octopus's Assault

This time entering the script, the system gave Feng Bujue no restrictions. In the pitch-black seabed, he could clearly see many things with his data perspective.

So, after jumping into the water, Brother Jue immediately saw the scene below.

There, an octopus, larger than an African elephant, was lying on the seabed, using its body to entangle the anchor of the Queen Anne's Revenge. The four pirates who had gone down to check were all wrapped in the octopus's tentacles.

"They are indeed crew members of Blackbeard's pirate crew, still alive..." Feng Bujue thought as he dived down. "Judging from the situation when that 'Bottle Opener' brother pulled the anchor, this octopus's weight should be heavier than the entire Queen Anne's Revenge, but its volume is less than a third of the latter... It can be seen that the monster's body density is extremely high.

"Being entangled and sucked by this kind of creature, even metal might deform. Ordinary humans would definitely be crushed into meat paste in an instant; but... these crew members can hold their breath and endure until now."

Although he couldn't swim, Brother Jue could still maintain extremely high mobility by using Moon Steps underwater.

Before long, he had approached the target.

Swish—

It was too late, too fast! The instant Feng Bujue entered the monster's attack range, a tentacle lashed out towards him.

"Ah... the difference in size is really helpless..." Feng Bujue didn't hesitate much. After a brief complaint in his heart, he summoned [Mason].

With the continuous growth of Brother Jue's summoning specialization, this summoning item, which was originally only D-grade, is now a proper A-grade combat force. Not to mention dealing with an octopus, it would be no problem to deal with a monster or two (in fact, from a conceptual point of view, most of the monsters in the "Ultraman" series are very strong, far more than just being large and capable of destroying model buildings).

"Ultra... glub... Golden... glug... Chinese Slash... Galarala... Dance!"

For some reason, even though he was underwater, even though he had a pipe in his mouth, even though he was only facing an invertebrate with limited intelligence... Feng Bujue was still almost stubbornly exhaling bubbles while chanting the name of the move.

In any case, Mason's attack was very effective. For octopuses, a slash was undoubtedly a very effective countermeasure.

In just a few seconds, the monster's entire tentacle was cut into dozens of pieces, shattering and scattering.

Bang bang bang—

The next second, three consecutive muffled sounds suddenly rang out...

Perhaps sensing the difference in strength, or perhaps instinctively feeling the danger, the octopus decisively released the anchor after exchanging blows with Brother Jue. It sprayed several mouthfuls of ink, turned, and tried to escape.

"More cunning than expected..." To Feng Bujue, the ink was meaningless. His observation method would not be affected by that kind of thing. "I could have let you go, but in this situation, you actually plan to take those four people with you... That's a bit too greedy."

As he thought, Brother Jue had already used [Spirit Gathering Body Technique - Modified] and chased after it at high speed with chained Moon Steps.

Octopuses have a very surprising burst of speed, and they also use their siphons to spray water to accelerate.

Unfortunately, in terms of speed, Feng Bujue is among the top tier in the entire Prime Universe, and there is no reason to lose to this low-level monster.

Chase, slash.

Mason's duration was sufficient for Feng Bujue to hack the entire octopus to death.

Of course, in the end... he didn't do that.

The monster's intelligence was indeed higher than Brother Jue had imagined. After being chased, it quickly realized the reason for being chased, and immediately released the four pirates who were still stuck to its suckers.

Seeing that the four crew members were saved, Feng Bujue stopped chasing. After all, this wasn't the kind of game where killing monsters would give experience and drop equipment. There was no great significance in going for the kill.

Long story short...

Five minutes later, Feng Bujue and the four pirates returned to the Queen Anne's Revenge.

At this time, Mr. Woge had already directed the others to haul up the anchor.

Blackbeard, like an outsider, watched the whole thing indifferently, making no comments. He simply urged after the matter was resolved, "Can we set sail now?"

The four rescued pirates simply said "thank you" to Brother Jue a few times, sounding quite perfunctory.

In this way, after calming this small storm, the pirate ship set sail again, starting to look for a new landing site.

…………

At the same time, on the other side of Jumo Island.

A figure wearing a monk's robe slowly walked out from under the water and stepped onto the land of Jumo Island.

Although he appeared from underwater, not a single drop of water clung to his body. Although he stepped on the beach, not a grain of sand clung to the soles of his shoes or the hem of his robe.

It was as if... an invisible force had isolated him from the surrounding environment.

"It took longer than expected..." The man, referred to as "Master" by Crazy Eye, murmured after going ashore, "However... this distance is undoubtedly beyond the detection range of Feng Bujue and 'those two guys.' In order to ensure the foolproof execution of the 'penultimate step of the plan,' this degree of caution is still necessary."

Just as he was speaking, suddenly, there was a rustling sound from the bushes near the beach.

The Master did not show any surprise at this. He simply stood silently, waiting for the change to come.

Seconds later, a burly man with a black beard reaching his waist walked out of the forest.

This fierce-looking Cossack had also appeared in front of Feng Bujue before... In the "Hunter Island" scenario, he appeared as Ford's servant and bore the "hidden Boss" identity of that scenario; however, Brother Jue did not trigger this plot in that scenario, so he did not directly fight him.

"It's you..." The Master said calmly when he saw the man, "I remember... you're called 'Ivan,' right?"

Ivan nodded. He was mute and could only respond in this way.

"What are you doing here?" The Master asked.

Ivan made a few hand gestures.

"Greeting me?" The Master sneered, "Heh... I sent a signal to you not to have you waste manpower on such unnecessary things."

Upon hearing this, Ivan thought for a second, then knelt on one knee, lowering his head nervously.

"Alright... get up." The Master waved his hand. "I'm not some kind of demon. If I had to kill people over such trivial matters, I would have no one to use long ago."

Ivan breathed a sigh of relief and stood up from the ground, but the cold sweat on his face was still flowing down, and his body was still in a tense state.

"Since you're already here, lead the way." The Master paused for a few seconds, then continued, "The construction of the 'new altar' should be complete by now. First, take me there to take a look."
