Suddenly, Luke turned his head to look at the side of the boat and saw a black shadow breaking through the surface of the sea and swung towards the helicopter in the air with astonishing momentum.
The helicopter pilot reacted quickly as well, the fuselage immediately tilted and flew to the side.
The black shadow passed more than ten meters below the helicopter, far from being enough to attack it, but the pilot and the special forces who were rappelling all cried out in dismay.
Because, this sudden attack did not hit the helicopter, but the four hanging ropes could not be avoided.
The black shadow hit two of the ropes, and the huge force instantly stopped the helicopter from moving forward, swung it half a circle, and slammed sideways into the sea.
Without even looking closely, Luke knew that the helicopter and the special forces rappelling below were both finished.
Those dark shadows want to eat people.
After a moment, a black shadow like a hill slowly rose from the sea. Several thick black shadows attached to the cruise ship, supporting it and allowing it to climb onto the rear deck of the cruise ship.
At this moment, Luke could hear the hull creaking harshly, and the entire hull tilted slightly backwards.
The Atlantic cruise ship was a huge vessel with an empty tonnage of nearly 90,000 tons, and now it was shaking under the weight of this huge black shadow.
"This is really a weird thing!" Luke muttered.
Facing this terrifying giant before him, Luke's long-standing worry became a reality, that is, what should he do if he faced an opponent of super-large size.
This super "big seafood" in front of him was huge in size and had many limbs. Luke couldn't be sure whether it weighed one thousand tons or two thousand tons.
If I have to describe its appearance, I can probably choose between octopus, cuttlefish, and squid, but it doesn't quite resemble any of them.
He answered the call from the gold nugget: "You are looking at this giant octopus, right? Can you handle it?"
Gold Nugget, who was watching from a distance, answered immediately: "With this size, it would take me a year to eat it if I ate as much as I wanted...right?"
Luke: "... I mean symbiotic control, not eating it."
“But it looks delicious, a lot like that thing you made for me… grilled squid?” Gold Nugget said, drooling.
Luke: "Although it does look like a squid, it's still alive. How can you eat it? So can you control it?"
The gold nugget was silent for a moment before he spoke: "I think it's very violent. Are you sure you want me to coexist with it?"
Luke thought of a characteristic of himself that Gold Nugget had confessed to Selina. After a moment's hesitation, he rejected the idea. "Forget it. Help me keep an eye on Robert and the others. Make sure they are safe. You don't have to worry about me."
Nugget: "Are you sure? You're not even as big as the tiny suction cup on the tip of this giant squid's toes."
Luke: "If it dares to mess around, I will kill it. Do you believe me?"
Nugget: “…I believe it.”
No way! A certain doghead silently protested in his heart.
Luke hung up the call and continued to stare at the big guy.
A strange giant octopus as big as a hill was advancing on the deck, swallowing the scattered bodies of the special forces.
It does not devour these corpses with the mouth on its head, but with the mouthparts on the tips of its tentacles. These tentacles have densely packed spikes on the edges, which is completely different from normal octopuses.
Judging from the appearance alone, this guy is somewhat similar to a monster that Luke first saw in the town of Rumford.
The hill-like octopus seemed to move clumsily, but it was actually very fast and soon reached the entrance of the passage.
Its tentacles exerted force and easily tore the entrance of the passage open.
Luke doesn't even have this kind of power.
That was the deck of the ship welded together with various steel materials, but it could not withstand the terrifying brute force of this huge seafood.
Luke stepped back silently, thoughts running through his mind.
Finally, the monster squeezed into the narrow hole in the deck, and then... moved towards the lobby on the lower floor.
Could this guy be going after the tourists in the lobby on the ground floor? Luke muttered to himself.
Without stopping, he had already circled behind the giant octopus's butt, quickly picked up two M4A1s and a HK416 scattered by the special forces, and fired at the back of the giant octopus's head without hesitation.
The premise is that the ten-meter-high ellipsoidal sphere is really its head.
The giant octopus roared in pain, but did not return. Instead, it continued to go down, but a few tentacles swept over like a giant python.
Luke kept firing the rifle in his hand, and after the magazine was empty, he immediately switched to another one to maintain uninterrupted firepower output.
Unlike the previous bandits, his shooting was extremely accurate, and all of his shots hit the circle of devices at the tips of the tentacles, causing the tentacles to twist wildly.
And once the bullets were used up, he would take out the spare magazine from the storage space and replace it.
This is the advantage of him always using M4A1. Its magazine is compatible with HK416 and most AR rifles, and it is the most common firearm in various combat units in the United States.
The three rifles took turns firing, with bullets firing rhythmically and rapidly. Soon Luke had smashed the tips of several tentacles into pieces.
With this happening, even if this giant octopus is a freak species, it would find it a bit unbearable.
It was once a consensus whether invertebrates could feel pain, but now Luke was not so sure.
During his previous observations, he had noticed that this giant octopus should be able to feel pain.
In other words, shooting would make it uncomfortable.
As to whether it is painful or not, no one knows.
As for this strange giant octopus in front of us, a rifle bullet may be just a thin needle to it, but if a person is stabbed by a thin needle on the fingertips hundreds of times, the feeling will definitely not be very pleasant.
The giant octopus's reaction was to retract its tentacles, use its thickest rear tentacle to block itself, and continue moving downwards.
Luke frowned: Does this guy have to eat those tourists
While pondering in his mind, he suddenly took out a bucket of the unknown substance from the storage space and threw it onto the deck at the stern.
After the barrel of unknown substance was thrown dozens of meters away, he raised his hand and fired a shot.
Bang!
The milk barrel was pierced and a large area of white milk was spilled on the deck.
The giant octopus showed no reaction and continued to move forward.
Luke frowned, and on a whim, he took out all the milk buckets.
After analyzing it for a moment with his keen sense of smell, he took out a bucket, threw it hard onto the rear deck again, and shot it to pieces with a bang.
A bright ruby-red liquid flew out from the exploded milk bucket.
A few seconds later, the strange giant octopus that was still moving forward suddenly stopped, abruptly changed direction, and rushed towards the stern of the ship frantically.
Luke leaped to the side with a few leaps, and watched as the mountain-like soft object squeezed out of the big hole in the deck and stretched out its tentacles towards the red liquid.
Soon, the tentacle touched the small pool of liquid and trembled slightly.
In Luke's sight, he even found that a tentacle whose tip he had broken was recovering frantically.
