There is another person who is more annoyed than Black Cat Tom, and that is Knight A waiting in the sky.
System: "Host, are your obsessions still okay? Why haven't they turned red yet? Is it because you have been living too well recently and can't feel any threats? The power of your obsessions has decreased?"
Fang Ning immediately retorted: "Nonsense. This is because my strength has increased, and the threat to me from these bucket-level monsters will decrease. They are not that scary in my eyes. Do you want to know how strong I am now?"
System: "I don't want to know... I just want to know when you can dye them red?"
Fang Ning looked down through the system's perspective and was speechless: "With how they are planning to hold a summer beach games, it's strange that I can feel threatened..."
It turns out that on the beach below, hundreds of thousands of octopuses, which were originally noisy and chaotic, are now clearly separated and divided into 12 groups of different sizes, forming a large circle.
Then 12 particularly strong octopuses were climbing out of the group, acting like their leaders.
These twelve leaders were waving their long arms and legs, and at the same time, their invisible mouths were making an inexplicable "click-click" collision sound. This sound was very sharp and strong, so strong that even a knight armor hundreds of meters above could He could hear them clearly, but Fang Ning naturally couldn't understand what they were saying.
"Uncle, do you know what they are talking about?" Fang Ning asked expectantly.
System: "Click, click, click, click, click..."
"Damn it, are you being stupid again?" Fang Ning rolled his eyes.
System: "This is what they said."
Fang Ning ignored these two words, holding on to the last glimmer of hope, and shouted into the Dragon Prison: "Anderson, in the broadcast footage you saw, can you tell what these Octopus Monsters are saying from the voices? "
Anderson quickly replied: "As you wish, Your Excellency. They are saying that there must be a tug-of-war competition to determine who is qualified to enter this rich city first and take away the best treasures..."
Fang Ning said in surprise, "Do you understand all this?"
Anderson: "It's a kind of Morse code that was taught to them by Tom the Black Cat."
Fang Ning was immediately impressed. He was indeed a genius. He could understand it as soon as he heard it.
He thought of something at the same time. In the name of the Balance of Power Maintenance Association, the black cat ostensibly maintained the balance of power among the major forces, but in fact it was stirring up trouble and instigating conflicts between extraordinary beings.
He had long known from Anderson's work report that the other party was seeking the power of death for the god of death behind it.
The power of death is different from the power of fear. The latter is the power of human thoughts and comes from the general public.
The former comes from the way of death.
As long as death occurs, those who practice the way of death can gain strength. This is very similar to the way of divine punishment. People who practice chivalry can gain strength.
It's just that the threshold for both is equally high... most people don't even have to think about it.
Fang Ning thought of this, rolled his eyes, and said to the system uncle: "I think Black Cat Tom is taking advantage of us. Uncle, if you slay demons, it will definitely cause death, and it will definitely gain the power of death. If you can't do this, The swarm of octopuses came here specially to lure them after tasting the sweetness."
System: "What? That black cat actually gained power through me, so I have to settle the score with it."
Fang Ning said angrily: "It's time to teach this restless cat a lesson. Last time it tempted King Brahma to send four basilisks to attack us, and it often went against us."
System: "Oh, Rich Man, you misunderstood. What I mean by 'settling accounts'... is asking it for money. The price is calculated based on a Peiyuan Pill that enhances strength. It uses how much death power I have absorbed. How many bills have to be paid..."
Only then did Fang Ning understand what "settling accounts" meant. He almost vomited blood: "Are you still in the hero system? This black cat is not a good person. We must get rid of it quickly."
System: "Oh, that's right. Let me take a closer look around first."
… …
Huang Rui saw Knight A flying slowly over the city from a distance, seeming to be looking down at something.
He quickly reminded: "Sir Tom, there is movement from Knight A."
"Well, I've seen it, wait for me to cast the spell." Black Cat Tom muttered a few spells, and an unfathomable dark fog completely enveloped one person and one cat.
"Find another place to hide." After it finished speaking, it took the lead and ran under a big rock in the distance.
"What should I do with the altar? Don't you need to use your disguise skills to hide it?" Huang Rui leaned against Tom and asked worriedly.
Black Cat Tom said with an indifferent expression: "This disguise skill consumes too much power of death and cannot be used frequently. Don't worry about the safety of the altar. It is the altar of the God of Death with unpredictable power. I am the spokesperson of the God of Death. Whoever I want to see can do it." See, you and Maggie can see it, but Knight A can’t.
"The way of punishment he practices is no stronger than the way of death of Lord Death. His eyes can see through the underground rock formations a thousand meters below, but he will never be able to see the altar of death that I personally arranged... Besides, if he were to See, he is affected by the law of heavenly punishment and will not steal other people's things. He seems to have never done this before."
"Your Excellency..." Huang Rui complimented.
He didn't say the last word and was suddenly stuck.
Black Cat Tom was very happy to hear this, and he wondered: "Why did you stop suddenly..."
"Sir, your altar, a figure just passed over the sky. I can't see it anymore..."
He wiped his eyes and reminded carefully: "Sir, did you just cancel my permission?"
Black Cat Tom turned around and saw that the wolf-headed human altar had really disappeared.
It was dumbfounded, then suddenly realized, and yelled: "I didn't revoke your authority... Bastard, it's that vigilante A! He actually stole my altar, damn it, this damn guy, how could he do this? Take it without asking." It’s for theft, which goes against the law of heavenly punishment!!”
…
"Uncle, your eyesight is not good enough. Tom didn't find it, so you just moved it into a shabby place. Of course, I understand now that anything that the uncle can take a fancy to must be a good treasure." Fang Ning said speechlessly.
System: "Well, you have a sharp vision, Rich Man. It's just that the black cat Tom is better at hiding than the yellow dog Xue Ba. I can't see it. It's probably useless to call the black dog to open the map here."
Fang Ning: "Then activate the 'Ghost Eye Eyes' and take a look."
System: "It's useless. Now it's just a legendary secret. I can vaguely sense that Black Cat Tom should be hiding with some mythical skills. My 'Ghost Eye Eyes' can't see through its disguise now. I think. To reach the mythical level, it will take 10 billion experiences."
Fang Ning was shocked at first, then relieved.
No matter how strong the uncle is, he is not invincible, and others are not NPC monsters that have not been upgraded for thousands of years. After discovering that Knight A has strong reconnaissance ability, he will definitely evolve various hidden methods to fight against him.
The world is so big and full of surprises, so we still need to hurry up and accumulate experience to prevent all kinds of unexpected events.
Fang Ning was shocked, and Black Cat Tom was mad.
"Asshole, that altar is very precious, and many of the materials on it are extremely hard to find." The black cat walked back and forth, rarely furious, and the hair on its body stood up.
Huang Rui had never seen Mr. Tom in such an explosive state before, and he didn't dare to say a word.
Fortunately, his Master Tom calmed down quickly.
"No, I still underestimated Knight A's dog eyes. He really couldn't see through the magical skills granted to me by the God of Death, but he could still detect the altar I decorated with my own hands. Damn it, I am still far away from the God of Death... forget it. Now, I’ll arrange another one, but this time I’ll have to consume more death power and hide it together.”
Black cat Tom said calmly, but in fact he was very distressed.
In fact, the altar itself is nothing. It already has spare materials and can build another one, and the cost is not its money. ’
The key is that the death power consumed to hide it must be deducted from the black cat itself.
The God of Death will not give another share, and the share of the power of death given to it by each sacrifice is fixed...
This will naturally greatly affect its cultivation speed.
"It's all to blame on these stupid octopuses. If they had entered the city earlier to kill people, Knight A would definitely not have the heart to patrol around. Hmph, it would be great if Knight A fought with them and both sides would be hurt. Just what I said." Black Cat Tom He said bitterly, staring at the group of octopuses on the beach in the distance that had begun a tug-of-war.
… …
Fang Ning was also watching at this time.
"Oh, the octopus that serves as the tug-of-war rope is really unlucky... But who made it have four more legs than others? Sure enough, no matter where it is, this alien is not welcome."
I saw an extremely strong big octopus in the middle of the octopus group. Apart from being stronger, it had only one difference from other octopuses, and that was that it had twelve long arms and legs.
However, this is its unlucky thing. At this time, each of the twelve arms and legs is tightly entangled by a slightly thinner arm and then pulled back.
And on its cylindrical head, a pair of huge black eyes were extremely innocent, looking around as if looking for someone to cry to.
Twelve leaders came this time, and they were not stupid. In order to decide the winner as soon as possible and enter the human city as early as possible, they decided to use a two-for-one elimination round.
So soon this big octopus named "Twelve Claws" became the unlucky one and was elected as a tug-of-war rope.
The rules are very simple. There are six leaders in a group. Each leader grabs a leg. Whichever group can pull the head of the "Twelve Claws" to their side will naturally win.
Then the 6 victorious bosses are divided into groups of 3.
The decisive battle is the final victory. The three octopus leaders pull out together. Whoever pulls the twelve-clawed head first wins.
Fang Ning watched it with great interest. This unusual sports competition had a unique flavor. It would definitely be popular if it were broadcast live.
System: "It's so boring. I shouldn't have come so early."
Fang Ning was speechless: "I've said it before, when the younger brothers discover the enemy and you come again, you will come in a hurry yourself. Just keep an eye on it to avoid any accidents."
The accident did not occur...
Two hours later, one of the strongest octopus leaders happily raised the "Twelve Claws" that had been exhausted from all the tossing, and then took the lead towards the city.
System: "The competition is over, their endurance is really strong..."
… …
"Chief Helix, can you put me down?" "Twelve Claws" pitifully used Morse code to ask an octopus beneath him that was smaller than it.
"No, you have to wait until I find the treasure before I let you go, so that they don't mess with me." Octopus Helix shook one arm and refused the request of this octopus alien.
In its view, Twelve Claws is a mutant, so it would be good if it can continue to be accepted, so there is no need to be polite to it.
At this time, a camera appeared on the roof of a small building not far away, and the voices of two people were faintly revealed, both in English.
"George, look, these are two particularly strong giant octopuses. They are the first to step into a human city. They will definitely make headlines."
"Yes, Ham, we are going to make a fortune this time. You see how friendly the relationship between them is... One is obviously too tired from the long journey, and its thin brother is carrying it. I Already thought of a great title.”
"What is it, George?"
"Is it a friendship between brothers, or a feeling like comrades in arms? I'm shocked that this kind of thing can happen between two octopuses..."
"Sure enough, it is a wonderful title. Those online media in China will definitely go crazy. They are very rich and like this style the most. George, you are ahead of all your peers again."
"Haha, others call me 'Smart George', and that's not a nickname for nothing."
Two daring tabloid reporters stared intently at two octopuses.
They were crawling on the empty street as if there was no one around.
Soon they captured even more shocking scenes.
…
The smaller octopus got into every empty house, only to come out again without doing anything.
In the process of going back and forth, it never let go of its octopus brother.
Finally, it stopped in front of a luxury store selling sanitary ware, looked inside through the glass, and then with a "swish", it threw the octopus brother it was holding far away...
Then it got into the store by itself.
Not long after, it climbed out with a full harvest. Six of the eight arms and legs are wrapped around something.
Three brand new gilded bathtubs, two gilded toilet bowls, and a gilded washbasin.
"Hahaha, with these, my home will definitely be decorated better..."
It made a "click" sound proudly.
Around a corner, two tabloid reporters following the giant octopus were stunned.
Ham: "George, your title seems to be unavailable?"
George: "No, I thought of an even better title."
Ham: "What's that?"
George: "Shocked, two octopus brothers who had a deep relationship and never left each other after traveling thousands of miles suddenly turned against each other! The reason turned out to be... "
