Chapter 119 Octopus Man
Chapter 119 Octopus Man
Although they were far apart, Zhou Nan and the others could clearly sense the enormous size of the sea giant. If it were to appear on land, judging from the appearance of an ordinary person, its height would probably be close to two hundred meters, or even higher.
"A super ocean giant?"
"When two armies meet, one must run fast!" someone exclaimed. "This must be a super boss, right, guild leader? Should we move closer and take a look?"
"Come on, you might get beaten to death. Remember the Crystal City massacre? Curiosity killed the cat. If you don't court death, you won't die!"
"Valkyrie Lingyun" said.
The Crystal City Massacre is a very famous event in the world of card games. It happened more than four months ago, and the Arena forum and Card Training Ground forum were discussing it, causing quite a stir.
Zhou Nan vaguely remembered that a giant rat appeared on the outskirts of Crystal City. The rat was as big as a small mountain. The 20 or 30-meter-long dragon looked like a kitten in front of it. It seemed to have just been passing by Crystal City, but a large number of players went to watch, which aroused the giant rat's hatred. As a result, the giant rat went into slaughter mode, killing a large number of players and attacking Crystal City. In the end, it turned into a large-scale regional quest. The Material Kingdom sent NPC troops to drive the giant rat away.
Afterwards, players estimated that no fewer than 300,000 players died in the giant rat siege, making it a typical disaster caused by players.
Of course, some players also benefited from this, earning a lot of Crystal City contribution points.
Zhou Nan took another look at the enormous creature walking in the endless sea, finding it quite interesting.
"This guy looks like a fish-man!"
Zhou Nan didn't care about ocean giants or anything like that, but what if it was a super fishman?
He has the "Murloc 666" skill, which allows him to upgrade Murloc cards to six stars for free. Unfortunately, only three types of cards benefit from this skill: Small Murloc, Big Murloc, and Murloc Warrior. If the one in front is indeed some kind of super Murloc, he should go and take a look; maybe he'll find a chance.
"Let's go take a look! What's the point of playing games if we can't satisfy our curiosity?"
Zhou Nan said something and then drove the large flatbed cart toward the sea giant.
The sea giant appeared to be walking, but due to its enormous size, it was actually extremely fast. It took the flatbed cart a full twenty minutes to catch up with it.
As they drew closer, Zhou Nan suddenly received a system notification: "Ding! You have discovered a special neutral creature, the Sea God, triggering a quest. Follow in the Sea God's footsteps to find the Sea God's Altar in the Endless Sea for a chance to obtain marine treasures."
"Poseidon? A neutral creature!"
"A questline has been triggered! Guild leader, hurry up!"
[Valkyrie Lin Yun] and [Fast Runner on a Narrow Road] also clearly received system notifications.
Zhou Nan felt much more at ease after learning that the enormous creature in front of him was a neutral being.
Neutral creatures will not attack players unless deliberately provoked.
Zhou Nan drove the flatbed cart closer to the Sea God. Upon closer inspection, the Sea God appeared even taller and more imposing. Its body was covered in fine scales, as if cast from metal. The trident it held was quite terrifying. If the Deep Sea Hydra of the Lone Moon Wheel had been nearby, it would probably have been able to lift it up in one go.
I have a slight phobia of megalophobia!
The Valkyrie Lin Yun asked, "How much blood does this sea god need?"
"Since it's called the Sea God, it must be a god-level creature with at least a million life points, right?"
"When two armies meet on a narrow path, one must run fast," said the commander. "Let's follow them!"
Zhou Nan nodded. Since they had encountered such an opportunity and mission, of course he should follow along.
Thus, the large item flatbed cart followed behind [Poseidon].
Zhou Nan and his group did notice that a steam airship was following them. They guessed that it was the Red Card family's airship, and that the players on board must have also spotted Poseidon, but they were too far away to receive any system notifications.
Two hours passed leisurely, and Zhou Nan no longer cared about the Reef Tower. He drove along following the Sea God and finally discovered an island.
The island was clearly the sea god's destination, but just as he was about to land on it, a giant wave surged up, and eight enormous tentacles suddenly burst out of the sea, quickly wrapping around the sea god's body. Then, a giant octopus head emerged from the water, its two eyes like giant searchlights, staring at the sea god.
The sea god roared in anger and immediately launched a counterattack. It was a battle between two behemoths, and the scene was extremely grand, with angry waves rising on the sea surface.
Zhou Nan and the other two were shocked by what they saw.
Suddenly, Zhou Nan noticed that there seemed to be other creatures standing on the head of the giant octopus. Upon closer inspection, they appeared to be humanoid creatures with octopus heads, human-like torsos, red high-collared cloaks, four octopus arms, and tall, slender bodies. Below the waist, the four octopus tentacles transformed into legs.
"What is that? An octopus-man?"
Zhou Nan was slightly surprised.
Next, something even more surprising happened: the "octopus people" standing on the giant octopus's head actually used cards, summoning a large number of monsters to attack [Sea God].
"Could it be?"
Zhou Nan, along with [Valkyrie Lin Yun] and [Fast Runner on a Narrow Path], exchanged glances and exclaimed in unison, "Players from the deep-sea world?"
"No way, it's already here! Are those octopus heads monsters or players? They can actually use cards!"
"What do we do? They're attacking the sea god! The sea god must be on our side!"
"Let's not act rashly yet, let's observe first..."
As Zhou Nan and the other two were discussing this, suddenly an octopus-man wearing a high-collared cloak jumped out of the sea and blocked the way in front of the large prop flatbed truck.
Upon closer inspection, this "octopus-man" looks more like a mutated human. It has a large head with brown stripes, two eyes, and no ears. Suddenly, it throws a card at Zhou Nan.
With a bang, the card transformed into a piranha covered in sharp teeth, lunging directly at Zhou Nan.
Zhou Nan quickly threw out the card of the Savage King Haha Ken, using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, dealing 50,000 points of damage and instantly killing the piranha.
Sitting at the back of the flatbed truck, [Valkyrie Lin Yun] reacted quickly, wielding the Hunter's Blade with a horizontal slash, activating the [Crescent Slash] skill, and a bright white crescent slashed across the "octopus man's" body.
"-600!"
Damage numbers appeared above the "octopus man's" head, then it turned into white light and disappeared. A scroll fell out and automatically flew to the vicinity of [Valkyrie Lin Yun].
[Valkyrie Lin Yun] looked surprised and said, "I received a system notification: the Killer's Blade kill count has increased by one. This octopus-man is a player!"
He quickly unfurled the scroll that had flown to him. Zhou Nan and [Run Fast When You Meet on a Narrow Road] leaned closer to read it. It read: "Multiverse, infinite and endless. In a certain parallel universe, due to an accident, humanity did not evolve. Instead, deep-sea octopuses possessed advanced intelligence. Now, they have conquered the ocean, land, and sky, developing a unique deep-sea civilization. They communicate through physical contact, have no language but possess writing, and excel at both mental communication and physical expression. In their eyes, so-called 'humans' are nothing more than alien creatures..."
At that moment, with a loud bang, the Deep Sea Hydra emerged not far from Zhou Nan.
That was none other than the Deep Sea Hydra of the Lone Moon Wheel. The figure stood on the Hydra's back, shouting in terror, "Something's wrong! There's an underwater map here! There are aliens here!"
