Chapter 8: Fantasy Octopus Vs Giant Ichthyosaurus

Noah, a male Phantom Octopus, had reached the peak of his attributes. At 10 years old and weighing 1000kg, he boasted an incredible strength of 10,000 kilograms and a speed of 15 meters per second. His defensive endurance was also remarkable at 1000 kg. His skills included "Color Changing," "Camouflage," "Venom," "Induction," "Night Vision," "High Pressure Water Cannon," and "Flash Technique." Additionally, Noah had talents such as "Rebirth," "Precognition," "Detection Technique," and "Episode of Spiritual Illusion," contributing to his total energy points of 1200.

Noah's body stretched to 25 meters, larger than most whales, and his physical prowess was immense. Just as he was marveling at his capabilities, a sense of danger alerted him. He instinctively moved aside, noticing a dark shadow pass him. One of his tentacles was bitten off and carried away by this shadow. If he hadn't moved, his head would have been bitten instead.

Using his "Detection Technique," Noah identified the predator: a Giant Ichthyosaurus, a female with a "Return to Ancestor" bloodline. She weighed 1200kg, possessed 8000 kg strength, and moved at a speed of 30 meters per second, with a defense endurance of 2000 kg. Her skills included "Crash," "Tail Strike," and "Bite," and she had the talent of "Deep Sea Perception."

Angered, Noah called her a "Fake Squid" and was infuriated that she dared hurt him. The Ichthyosaurus continued her attack, intending to kill him and savor octopus sashimi. As she charged, Noah's eyes emitted faint blue light, trapping her in his "Episode of Spiritual Illusion." She suddenly found herself in a desert, struggling to breathe and fight against her surroundings. Within moments, the Ichthyosaurus fell into a brain-dead state, completely devoid of consciousness.

"That's it? Let you feel what a desert is!" Noah taunted. Being a human soul, Noah understood the desert's discomfort, and trapping a fish in such an environment was a strategic move. Meanwhile, his broken tentacle started to regrow, and he swam toward the incapacitated Ichthyosaurus. He expected a prolonged battle, yet found her to be an easy target.

"Your magic resistance being equal to 0 isn't okay!" Noah stated sternly before he began devouring the Giant Ichthyosaurus. Her lengthy body required a slow consumption process, but Noah persisted. 

With each bite, he gained energy points: 

"Ding! The host devours 'Giant Ichthyosaurus' and gains 150 energy points!" 

Sure enough, consuming powerful species rewarded him with more energy points.

After devouring one-third of the body of the "Giant Ichthyosaurus," he was full! At this time, his energy points reached 2700. It seemed that the carcass of this ichthyosaur was enough for him to eat for two meals, so he wasn't in a hurry to go hunting. Then he took the ichthyosaur carcass and dived deeper into the seabed. Arriving at a submarine cave, he opened the system's "Evolutionary Tree" function and started checking.

Now that he had reached the maturity of "Phantom Octopus," the next step was to prepare to advance to the next stage. "Phantom Octopus" belonged to the third stage of evolution. There were a total of four evolutionary species to choose from in the fourth stage, but they were all octopuses. They were "The Bewildered Giant Octopus," "The Soul-Eating Octopus," "The Fighting Demon Octopus," and "The Phantom Octopus." Among them, "The Lost Giant Octopus" was the largest in size, with an image size of at least about 50 meters. The "Soul-Eating Octopus" was the smallest, only less than 5 meters. The last two branches of octopus also had a body size of more than 30 meters, which made Noah have difficulty in choosing! 

The reason he chose "Phantom Octopus" in the first place was mainly because the picture of this guy was so cool, with blue light emitting from his whole body! He clicked on the node image of "The Lost Giant Octopus" with his consciousness. 

"Ding! You have met the requirements to evolve into 'The Lost Giant Octopus,' but your 'Energy Points' are less than 10,000 and cannot evolve!" Wipe! It actually requires 10,000 points of energy, black businessman! Definitely a black businessman! Doesn't it also require 10,000 energy points to evolve from infancy to youth? Noah looked at his 2700 energy points and fell into deep thought. 

I still look like a poor guy! System, you are great! You gave me a taste of what it's like to go to work! Then brother, I have to evolve slowly and see what you can do to me, hum! Just lie down with Ge You! 

In the next two days, he hid in this cave and ate the corpse of the "Giant Ichthyosaurus" when he was hungry. The rest of the time, he was either sleeping or studying the system. "Oh! We've run out of food again, and we have to find something to eat!" Noah said helplessly. At this time, his energy points had reached 6,200, not far from 10,000.

When he swam out of the underwater cave, he found that the sea outside had changed a lot. First, he felt that the sea seemed to have gotten bigger! Also, what are these sea creatures in front of me? Some creatures that only appeared in ancient times had appeared in front of him, such as plesiosaurs, saw-toothed sharks, prehistoric squids, etc.! And there were some special fish that he had never seen before, and these fish didn't look like species from ancient times!

"Shit! I'm going to compile the Classic of Mountains and Seas for you, right?" Noah complained. At this time, another sense of danger flashed through his mind, and Noah dodged and swam to the bottom of the sea without saying a word. At this moment, an extremely huge python appeared where he was just now. The python missed his attack and rushed towards him again. Only then did he see the full picture of the giant python. Its body was close to 3 meters thick and hundreds of meters long, and the python also had two protruding horns on its head! 

I'm afraid it's not far from turning into a dragon! Damn it! Noah directly sprayed out several "high-pressure water cannons" and then ran away without looking back! "It's only the idiot who has to go head-to-head with such a terrifying creature! Get out of the way!"
