Chapter 606: Chapter 316: Bizarre Encounter, Dream Clan, Clan Traitor Blu_2

Brian:...

His current form, if using a small octopus as a reference, was probably just over a meter long.

The large octopus that the small one had called over, however, was easily five or six meters long.

Some things are just unbeatable.

Just as Brian was preparing to show some flexibility and act subservient in the face of a superior power...

Smack—

The Big Octopus actually slapped its own offspring with a tentacle, flipping it over in the seabed sand and bellowed, "This little thing is as big as you are, and you can’t even win? You still have the nerve to call your old mother for help. You good-for-nothing, I would have been better off giving birth to a sea cucumber than to you..."

What followed was a torrent of scolding, verbally assaulting the little octopus whose small tentacles all curled up together, shivering with fear and helplessness...

Brian nearly laughed his tentacles off at this scene.

The parental love is universal; the Big Octopus was no exception.

He passed by the mother-son duo exhibiting domestic violence and continued on his way.

Moving through a series of large seashells,

He finally arrived at the place his inner voice had been leading him: a medium-sized giant seashell.

According to the visual measurement standards,

This shell was over four hundred meters long and over one hundred meters high, like a fallen skyscraper.

Too bad it was closed at the moment.

"Why does the voice in my head lead me here.."

Brian thought for a moment, stretched out a tentacle, and tentatively knocked on the shell.

Hey, there really was a sound.

The sound wasn’t faint either; completely out of proportion to his strength, it made a thunderous thudding.

More astonishingly, the sound only echoed around the shell, not spilling out at all.

As Brian marveled at this amazing experience, the giant shell before him cracked open with a creak!

...

Through the crevice of the shell,

A pair of especially big, dead fish eyes stared at Brian, babbling, "Whose brat is this, with no manners at all, disturbing Master Blu, don’t you know that I’ve just been seriously injured? Where’s your public decency..."

Suddenly.

The owner of the dead fish eyes paused.

They widened, and in a short span, emotions like shock, fear, panic, helplessness, and despair flashed across them.

Brian watched this odd spectacle in a daze.

He was a bit unsure of how to respond.

I’m this tiny and cute now, and you’re so big, you’re scared of me?

One in bewilderment.

One in despair and fear.

For a while, the scene just froze there.

After an indeterminable length of time,

The dead fish eyes inside the shell finally showed some life.

It seemed to have resigned itself, cautiously scanned its surroundings, then opened wide and sucked Brian in.

Brian also saw the true form of the dead fish eyes for the first time.

This thing was also a Big Octopus, just one of particularly large size, which, if placed in the Middle Ages’ sea area, would definitely be called a sea monster, bigger even than a typical whale, it’s just... about a quarter of its body seemed to have disappeared.

At the site of the missing part, there was a dense pattern of tooth marks, as if it had been bitten by some deformed creature.

Just from the ghastly, crisscrossing tooth marks, one could feel the oppressiveness of that abnormal creature, as well as the helplessness and pitifulness of the Big Octopus when it had been attacked by that being...

Seeing that Brian kept his gaze on his wound,

Blu with the dead fish eyes, whose entire body was much larger than Brian’s, showed a pitiable look: "I was just curious why you possess the Power of Profanation, so I descended into your body following the Spiritual Realm. I meant no harm; please spare me, human..."

Brian:...

He suddenly realized.

Damn!

So, this Big Octopus was the one that had mysteriously attacked him before.

And those injuries on its body...

Brian took another look at the hideous tooth marks, and with a bit of embarrassment, pursed his octopus lips, then subconsciously smacked them.

That Consciousness of the octopus tasted really good.

His smacking sent the Big Octopus into sheer panic.

Its massive body curled up tightly, pleading with Brian, "Human, Blu cannot afford to lose any more Spirit Body. If I lose any more, Blu will have to return to the Nihility Dream Realm. Please, spare me, human; Blu doesn’t want to go back to the Nihility Dream Realm..."

Blu?

Nihility Dream Realm?

Upon hearing this, Brian fell into thought.

He knew from the obsession gift from Benjamin that these Big Octopuses bore some kind of Heritage Bloodline. They were not mere unintelligent creatures, but rather remnants of a lost civilization.

They might not even be indigenous creatures of Mercury.

Now it seemed, the emergence of the Blood Moon had reawakened their ideologies, possibly helping them reclaim their once-lost civilization.

This engendered a strong curiosity in Brian.

After all, despite the advanced state of technology, even the Moon, the closest celestial body, had been scarcely explored, and while there had been numerous theories about extraterrestrial life, none had ever been encountered.

It turns out, extraterrestrial beings are not absent; after arriving on Mercury, they were simply taken for food and turned into octopus balls...

...

He was pondering, but inadvertently terrified Blu, the Big Octopus capable of easily crushing Brian in his current form.

A decision seemed to flash in its pair of dead fish eyes, as if it had made up its mind. The octopus’s face took on a human-like fawning expression, mumbling, "Human, Blu’s Spirit Body is unstable; I really can’t be eaten anymore. How about I call a couple of friends over for you?"

Brian:...

What’s with that turncoat’s face on such a big guy?

Feeling slightly uncomfortable, he shook his head: "I came to you to ask about what the Deep Sea Defense Line is about."
