Where did this giant octopus in Chapter 11 come from? Is it a hidden boss?
"This is not scientifically sound!"
In the real world, countless people gasped in shock.
Then, the disguise was removed.
For the first time, humanity witnessed in full HD from a god-like perspective the ultimate terror that spanned two eras!
It was a colossal creature over twenty-five meters long, its body covered with interwoven dark red and deep black magical patterns!
Eight tentacles, resembling ancient giant pythons, stretched freely in the seawater, their suckers containing razor-sharp, meat-grinding teeth that gleamed with a cold light.
Even through a screen, it sends a chill down your spine.
The five-meter-long "Starry Sea First Player" Arthur looks like a pitiful plastic toy in front of this behemoth!
[What...what kind of creature is this?! How could something like this exist in the Ordovician period?!]
[An octopus? This is a giant octopus over twenty meters long?!]
[Are you crazy?! Octopuses won't appear until the Mesozoic Era, hundreds of millions of years from now! Is there a bug in the system?!]
After a brief pause, the barrage of comments across the entire channel erupted like a tsunami.
But the carnage depicted in the video did not stop despite the shock in the real world.
The giant demonic octopus didn't even move; it simply extended one of its tentacles at random.
It moved with the speed of black lightning, instantly entangling the five-meter-long giant sea scorpion.
The Sea Scorpion Heavy Armor was just hailed by Western netizens as the "ceiling of combat power".
Faced with the terrifying strangulation force and meat-grinding teeth of that tentacle, it was instantly shredded like paper!
Although the "crack" sound of the shell breaking could not be heard.
But the massive cloud of blood that exploded in the scene deeply stung the eyes of every Starsea Federation viewer.
One-hit kill!
There wasn't even a sliver of room to struggle!
Subsequently, a black, high-pressure ink-like toxic curtain, obscuring the sky, exploded on the seabed.
The remaining four sea scorpions were instantly paralyzed and corroded, becoming "crunchy little snacks" in the mouth of the giant octopus.
After finishing its meal, the giant abyssal eye with its cross-shaped pupils seemed to glance at the camera with lingering satisfaction.
Then, its massive body seemed to merge into the darkness, swimming away into the distance at an incredibly terrifying speed.
The image on the sky freezes, then slowly fades out.
In the real world, even the Kuroshio Island that was just celebrating...
The once arrogant and self-important Starsea Federation was now completely silent.
No one spoke. Everyone was immersed in the absolute oppressive feeling brought by the twenty-five-meter-tall giant demonic seal.
[Starsea Federation netizens]:
[This...this is impossible...Boss Arthur, he was instantly killed?]
[A Leading Figure in Western Continent Biology]:
No! This is definitely not a player!
Look at its size, its range of species, and its extremely destructive abilities!
This is a level that no player can reach!
[Kuroshio Island Netizen]:
Yes! This must be the final boss in the game!
It's a natural disaster that's already on the map! It's a hidden level creature from the Ordovician period!
[Yunxia Netizen]:
[I see... That's terrifying. If we encountered this kind of monster in the game, we wouldn't even have a chance to escape.]
The misunderstanding arose naturally in the minds of all humankind.
Because the live stream is completely anonymous, player IDs are not displayed.
In everyone's understanding, it is impossible for a player to break the system's era restrictions and evolve into a product of the Carboniferous period right at the start of the game.
It's even less likely that they would have such an incredible physique as 25 meters tall.
Therefore, the global consensus is remarkably consistent:
This is an invincible prehistoric deep-sea boss, refreshed by the Earth Online system!
"Immediately notify all Starsea Federation testers!"
Never approach the Abyss of Sighs! Repeat!
Stay away from that giant demonic octopus boss! It's beyond the current capabilities of players!
In the Starsea Federation's supreme command headquarters, generals were issuing death orders at the top of their lungs.
Meanwhile, in the lecture hall of Jiangda University in Yunxia, Professor Lin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with lingering fear:
"The power of nature is terrifying. Immediately warn our participants on the internal channel to beware of this hidden deep-sea predator..."
The whole world is trembling over this "system BOSS".
There is only one exception.
The Ordovician period, the cold seabed.
Lei Dong had no idea that his casual consumption of an "American lobster" had already triggered a global panic in the real world.
Unbeknownst to them, they had been unanimously identified by all of humanity as the "untouchable ultimate BOSS of the system."
His massive body was propelled by the ocean currents, moving through the ocean as if it were in an empty field.
Just a short distance ahead is the eastern entrance to the reef trench.
The group of Black Tide Island poison insect players, completely unaware that death was about to befall them, were still smugly setting up an ambush.
The faint light and shadow ahead were reflected in Lei Dong's huge cross-shaped pupils.
Eight tentacles covered with meat grinder teeth were already trembling slightly with excitement in the seawater.
"The little bugs of Kuroshio Island..."
This is absolutely a scene that makes people both laugh and cry.
Perhaps they knew their civilization couldn't develop.
This time, the Japanese chickens of Kuroshio Island actually chose such a bizarre civilization?
Whether they were observers or participants, they all uniformly encased themselves in the insect's shell.
However, it has one advantage: if it's a group action, the number of people involved is extremely large!
In the ocean current channel on the east side of the reef trench.
If someone were to turn on their macro night vision device at this moment, they would definitely get goosebumps from the sight before them.
Millions upon millions of prehistoric venomous insects densely covered the entire seabed, the crevices of the reefs, and even the floating sea lilies.
Each of them is only the size of a little finger, covered with barbs containing neurotoxins, and their mouthparts are full of fine serrations.
They are like a constantly writhing, nauseating black carpet, tightly blocking the vital passage to the Yunxia Volcano base camp.
At this moment, the exclusive channel on Kuroshio Island was still filled with a frenzied atmosphere of celebration.
【Kuroshio Island Experiencer - 001 (Ichiro Miyamoto)】:
Gentlemen! You all saw what happened on the sky just now, right?
Even that five-meter-long idiot from the Starsea Federation was instantly killed by the system BOSS!
This is the disadvantage of blindly pursuing an enormous size!
In this prehistoric ocean, only our race, characterized by its fragmented nature, boundless reproductive capacity, and potent venom, are the true gods!
【Kuroshio Island Experiencer - 341 (Kameda)】:
Lord Miyamoto is wise!
We've already devoured those Yunxia cubs, leaving not a trace.
As long as we guard this place, even if the observers of Yunxia possess extraordinary abilities, none of their participants will survive to adulthood!
【Kuroshio Island Experiencer - 001 (Ichiro Miyamoto)】:
That's right! Once we've spawned a massive swarm of hundreds of millions of insects on the periphery, we'll directly flood their volcanic base!
What advanced civilization? Before the venomous army of the Japanese Empire, they are all reduced to rotting flesh! Hahaha!
……
However, just as these small, poisonous insects were gloating.
Suddenly, a patch of pitch-black ink spread over their heads.
By the time they realized something was wrong, it was too late...
"Let me see how many poisonous insects you can eliminate in one go?"
Although I have a bit of trypophobia.
However, faced with so many Japanese players, Lei Dong couldn't help but take action.
This large patch of ink, infused with a nerve-paralyzing toxin, quickly enveloped one-third of the enemy base!
The results were surprisingly good.
These little bugs are so brittle!
The dark, poisonous curtain, upon contact with the bottom of the trench, generated a powerful kinetic energy, much like the shockwave of a nuclear explosion.
It swept and spread wildly to both sides along the narrow ocean current channel!
In the blink of an eye, the reef trenches and reefs spanning several kilometers were completely transformed into a deathly black zone where one could not see their own hand in front of their face!
At this moment, the million-strong army of venomous insects from the Japanese burrow, located at the bottom of the trench, finally faced the end of their evolutionary history.
[Kuroshio Island Experiencer - 884 (Watanabe)]:
【Ahhh! What is this water?! It's so hot! My skin is melting! Help!】
【Kuroshio Island Experiencer - 1024 (Koizumi)】:
[I can't see! The water's poisonous! My ganglia are severed, I can't move! Ah! My limbs are corroding!]
The arrogant laughter that had been filling the communication channels on Kuroshio Island was cut off in a second.
Instead, there were ear-piercing screams and endless despair!
Their prized stingers were melted away, and their soft bodies curled up in a ball amidst violent convulsions.
Then, just like plastic thrown into boiling water, it turned into a pool of green blood!
