"boom!!"
Ham and George, two tabloid reporters, saw the proud giant octopus being knocked unconscious by a sword energy descending from the sky.
Then it was rolled up out of thin air and thrown far away towards the ocean. They seemed to be able to hear a faint "pop" sound...
This is all normal, the only difference is that the gold-plated bathtub, gold-plated toilet, and gold-plated washbasin are still in place.
High in the sky, Knight A was in a daze.
Fang Ning was trying to dissuade him: "Master, please stop picking up these rags from now on..."
System: "Why, you clearly said at the inauguration ceremony last week that without gathering dust, you cannot become Mount Tai..."
Of course Fang Ning would not say this was too low. Knight A is now the leader of the martial arts alliance. Let people see how he can still pretend to be so confident...
He began to lie: "There are two tabloid reporters below. You picked up these sanitary ware today and they published it as news. The next time someone wants to repay Knight A, they will definitely think that you have a special hobby for these and will give them to us." Sanitary ware and nothing else…”
System: "I see, the rich man is still clever. Next time when no outsiders are around, I will pick it up again..."
Fang Ning was speechless, he knew this guy would say this.
George and Ham rushed out and used their cameras to take a quick photo of the back of the vigilante armor flying away in the air.
At this time, Ham saw the golden toilets and bathtubs on the ground, and subconsciously stepped forward to touch them, feeling greedy at the same time.
"George, they are really gold-plated. How strange. This is just a small town in Australia. Although this sanitary ware shop is well decorated, it is unlikely to sell such expensive things. But I don't care about this. I only know these six pieces." All in all, it costs millions of dollars. Why should we be tabloid reporters? We can just take them home and make a fortune..."
That's right, Fang Ning is not an expert on luxury goods after all, and his vision is far inferior to that of Ham, who was born as a journalist. The latter can find that these things are real, must be valuable, and are definitely not tatters.
George looked at Knight A who was wandering over the city, glanced at him sideways and said, "If you want to swim in the sea with that octopus, I won't stop you from taking them away."
Ham thought of all the rumors about the other party, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and stood up regretfully.
"However, we can dig a hole and help the owner bury it to prevent it from being picked up by others..." George then said.
"Hey, you are really smart George. Yes, in this case, Knight A has no reason to embarrass us." Ham became excited, picked up a shovel from the roadside, and started digging under some lush coconut trees. Get into trouble.
George soon joined the team. Under the temptation of money, the two were full of motivation. In the new era, their personal physiques were gradually strengthened by the infiltration of vitality, and they worked very quickly.
Not long after, they dug a huge, deep hole.
Then they painstakingly lowered the six pieces of gold-plated sanitary ware.
When they struggled to climb out of the pit again, the next moment, their vision went dark and they fell back into it.
Six pieces of sanitary ware were placed neatly under them.
… …
The second strong octopus monster entered the city. It crawled along the route of the previous big octopus, and found a large crater shining with golden light in the distance. Under the tropical sunlight, it reflected an extremely dazzling light...
It rushed over excitedly.
By this time, George and Ham had woken up.
They looked at each other and were about to get up with difficulty. At this time, a huge and ferocious octopus appeared above the pit, staring at them with cold eyes.
"It's over, we're dead!!" Ham exclaimed.
"Damn it, I should have known better than to take advantage of these treasures. I could have made a fortune safely, but from today on, people will call me stupid George." George covered his face, not daring to look at that An octopus with a ferocious face.
At this time, the octopus suddenly spoke and said to them: "Ka, ka ka, ka ka ka..."
Ham was frightened and confused: "What is it talking about?"
George thought for a moment: "I guess it is grinding its teeth and making final preparations to eat us."
When Ham heard this, he was so frightened that he collapsed in the gilded bathtub that he had just fallen in love with, staring blankly at the terrifying octopus.
"Two idiots. Mr. Tom is right. Most humans are stupid. Only a handful of human elites can learn to understand this noble language. Our big octopus family can easily learn and use this language proficiently. , destined to be the future overlord of the planet."
A thought that contained pride and pride came into the minds of the two tabloid reporters.
"Oh my God, it can actually communicate with us?" George had a glimmer of hope. He hoped to delay the arrival of the person who just knocked them unconscious.
Of course he didn't know that the man was watching them from a thousand meters above the ground.
He quickly begged: "Mr. Future Overlord of the Earth, please show your mercy and spare us two stupid humans."
"Okay, bring me my golden container, and I'll let you go." The octopus seemed to enjoy the compliment from the former earth overlord, and it waved its arms and legs proudly.
The two tabloid reporters were ecstatic and bent down to move the sanitary ware. However, the next moment, two strong arms and legs suddenly wrapped around their bodies.
"It's over!! This octopus is so cunning, and even though it is so powerful, it still uses deception to make us relax our vigilance! Is it because it is afraid that if we are too nervous, the quality of the meat will deteriorate?"
With this thought in mind, they watched helplessly as they were indeed tightly rolled up by the two arms and legs, and then quickly placed in front of the ferocious mouth under the octopus's head!
What confused them was that the octopus did not open its mouth to bite them, but started to bite its mouth up and down again with a "click" sound.
"Don't be afraid, it's just two idiots who are making their own decisions." A confusing idea came into their minds.
Then they found themselves being put down by two arms. Just when they thought they had escaped death, two new idiots caught them again and brought them to the octopus's mouth again.
If this happens again and again, both of them will be scared to death. What does this mysterious Mr. Octopus want to do
And the savior they were looking forward to never showed up.
They thought with great regret that it was their greed and smartness that had angered the Eastern Lighthouse, and they were watching them suffer for themselves.
… …
High in the sky. Knight A looked at the following scene expressionlessly, not moving at all.
System: "Hey, host, this is a new monster. Eight in one. I have never seen such a monster. One big red dot and eight smaller red dots..."
Fang Ning was speechless: "You uneducated guy, what are you doing? That's the characteristic of an octopus. Its eight arms and legs all have a certain ability to act independently, just like AI."
System: "This kind of monster is not bad. Although it can only be knocked unconscious, it will not be much less than the experience gained after killing it."
Fang Ning had a solemn look on his face: "You idiot, you only see experience. I can see the hidden dangers in the future. These octopuses have endless potential. When all eight arms and legs evolve to have complete thinking ability, their learning ability will be improved." Being able to crush most ordinary people, no wonder they can learn complex Morse code so easily. If someone tries to instigate them at this time, it may not be as easy as today... "
System: "I don't understand... Have you thought about the overall situation? Now let me knock it out."
… …
Ham and George scrambled to escape the hole they had dug.
The relatively merciful overlord Mr. Octopus was knocked unconscious by a sword energy falling from the sky in the next moment, and then was thrown into the ocean like its predecessor...
The disappearance of the two octopus leaders before and after will naturally not scare the huge octopus group.
On the contrary, without the restraint of the leader, the group of the two octopus leaders has poured into the city.
"Crack" sounds came and went.
Anderson provides real-time commentary and translation.
"The leader is no longer here, seems to have been thrown into the sea?"
"Humph, what are you afraid of? The leader is gone and no one can take care of us anymore! What do we want, everyone?"
“We want jars!!”
“We want the best jars!!”
"No one can stop our yearning for the jar!!!"
Groups of octopus monsters passed such coded messages to each other, and then one after another poured into the city without hesitation.
They soon appeared in every bar, every square, every shopping mall...
They happily swept away large vases, thick water pipes, and large fish tanks...
…
Two days later, black cat Tom stared dumbfoundedly at the hundreds of thousands of octopuses floating on the sea, drifting drowsily with the current...
"Unexpectedly, I didn't collect any power of death. Instead, I lost a precious Altar of Death. I also used the 'Shadow Disguise of Death' three times, which consumed a lot of my power of death..."
It muttered in disbelief.
Huang Rui subconsciously hid far away, knowing that he would be in bad luck this time.
The next moment, he found Master Tom appearing in front of him, glaring at him fiercely.
"This is the great idea you gave me!!"
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Tom," the old man Huang Rui stammered to explain for himself, "It was a mistake of my subordinates. I didn't expect that these octopuses had become spiritually intelligent and became monsters, and they still had their true nature. None of them actually refused to go. If they chase people to eat, but instead steal the worthless human containers, Knight A will naturally not kill them."
Black cat Tom thought for a moment and put away his sharp claws.
It still did not embarrass its subordinates, and the other party's idea was still very good. The only mistake was that it mispredicted that the nature of these octopuses was so strong that it could overwhelm their desire for power.
Because such useful and loyal subordinates are hard to find, guys like Anderson who adapt to the changing circumstances are the most common.
"It seems that I am going to find a marine tribe that is bloodthirsty enough. Please give me some reference. This time there must be no mistakes!" Black Cat said sternly. It could not bear too many failures.
Huang Rui immediately said remedially: "I will definitely not fail this time. I will definitely plan carefully."
… …
At this time, a large octopus with twelve arms climbed down from a coconut tree with difficulty. It was thrown far away by the leader's leg and passed out at that time. It relied on the subconscious self-rescue actions of its twelve arms. , I just grabbed a coconut tree and didn't fall into a dangerous place, so I can persist until now.
It looked at the bustling human city, turned around and crawled towards the sea without any hesitation.
