Seeing that the mutated octopus king did not react for a long time, Jiang Nian'an gave Xiao Longzhan a wink.
"Hey guys, I advise you to listen to my brother-in-law, otherwise!"
With a wave of his hand, Xiao Longzhan summoned a large iron hammer, which he then slammed down heavily on the muddy beach.
A force exceeding a thousand pounds surged forward along the sea.
With a loud 'boom,' water splashed up dozens of meters around the mutated octopus king, along with countless other mutated marine creatures.
However, Xiao Longzhan controlled his power and did not harm them, only frightening them.
After returning to the sea, they all scurried behind the mutated octopus king for protection.
The mutated octopus king was enraged, and also testing the waters, its enormous tentacles emerging from the sea, accompanied by surging waves.
Shen Nanchuan and the other three hurriedly put down the food they were holding and were about to rush forward, but Jiang Nian'an raised her hand to stop them.
Xiao Longzhan casually hoisted the large iron hammer onto his shoulder and flicked out a wisp of dragon energy.
The mutated octopus king suddenly stopped moving, and even as the waves reached the shore, it used its tentacles to block them, much to the disbelief of Yunhua and the other three.
It lowered its head, its huge scarlet eyes fixed on Xiao Longzhan and Jiang Nian'an.
The sweet aroma wafted between the two of them, making it difficult to discern which emanated from whom.
"If you are willing to negotiate peacefully with us, then humanity will work with you to safeguard the security of this sea area."
Jiang Nian'an pointed to the sea and changed the subject, "On the contrary, as you have seen, if we want to, you can't protect them."
Of course, if we reach an agreement, we'll also give you anything you like.
However, if you don't want to talk about it, that's fine too.
Jiang Nian'an was still smiling, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. Shen Nanxing, who was standing next to her, drew the knife from behind his back as she spoke.
"We can find a different negotiating partner."
'boom--'
As soon as Jiang Nian'an finished speaking, a huge vortex of purple lightning formed above the mutated octopus king, carrying a terrifying power.
"Little brother, let me lend you a hand."
Shen Nanchuan strode forward, adding another bolt of lightning power to the vortex of thunder above.
Its astonishing aura caused the mutated octopus king to sink a bit, not to mention the other small fish and shrimp.
"So, are we going to talk, or not?"
Jiang Nian'an's toes rubbed against the sand, her tone seemingly casual, yet it struck the mutated octopus king's heart with a heavy blow.
Humans are indeed the most cunning creatures.
They talk about talking, but in reality, they're threatening each other.
They threatened it with powerful weapons to sink it to the bottom of the sea, and now that it has finally improved its strength and surfaced, they're threatening it again!
That's so unfair to the octopus!
The mutated octopus king exuded a strong killing intent; it... no, talk!
Looks like we'll have to fight again.
Jiang Nian'an was not surprised. Vines grew from her palm and gently wrapped around Shen Nanxing and Xiao Longzhan's waists.
If they were to fight, they would be at a disadvantage in the water and would have to attack from the air.
Her vines are like the wings of Xiao Zhanzhan and Brother Shen.
Sister, bring out that phoenix tree seed.
As if he had just thought of something, Xiao Longzhan suddenly sent a telepathic message to Jiang Nian'an.
The phoenix tree seed is covered with his sister's consciousness; he cannot take it.
Jiang Nian'an was taken aback, not understanding what Xiao Longzhan wanted to do, but still took out the phoenix tree seed and placed it in his palm.
Xiao Longzhan grabbed the phoenix tree seed, his little face gleaming with calculation. "Little seed, you want to eat it too, don't you?"
The phoenix tree seed trembled slightly in his palm, as if in response.
"Very well, I'll give you this chance. As long as you bite it a few times and scare it, I won't hold it against you for stealing my food before."
Remember, stop when I say stop, otherwise—】
Xiao Longzhan tightened his grip on the tree seed, continuing to transmit his thoughts telepathically, "Although I don't know why you're in this space, if you don't listen to me..."
I told my sister I wouldn't let you into the space, that I'd leave you to fend for yourself in this world, never to return home.
The phoenix tree seed immediately trembled violently. That little dragon is really wicked!
Hehe, go on, little seed!
Xiao Longzhan swung his arm around the air twice with all his might, and then threw the phoenix tree seed out.
"That's...that seed?"
Shen Nanxing only saw a flash of golden light before his eyes, and then the golden light landed on the head of the mutated octopus king.
"Yes, Xiao Zhanzhan said that the seed is from a phoenix tree and has already developed its intelligence."
"The seeds of the phoenix tree...the seeds left behind by the phoenix's perch?"
"Hmm, it stole Xiao Zhanzhan's octopus tentacles, and now it's probably being forced to pay the price~"
Jiang Nian'an smiled helplessly and patted Xiao Longzhan's head.
The phoenix tree began its actions as soon as it landed on the head of the mutated octopus king.
It effortlessly ripped open the mutated octopus king's head, then crawled inside and touched the crystal core.
Countless thin green lines grew from the creature's body, wrapping around the fist-sized, pale blue crystal core layer by layer.
The energy within the crystal core gradually entered the body of the Phoenix Tree seed along the green lines.
'Waaah—'
The mutated octopus king panicked and no longer cared about Jiang Nian'an and the others.
Its enormous body sank into the sea in an instant, its long tentacles carefully reaching in through a small opening on its head, trying to pull out the phoenix tree seed.
The phoenix tree seed clung tightly to its crystal core, making it impossible for the mutated octopus king to attack.
'Waaah—'
The mutated octopus king thrashed angrily in the sea, its power constantly draining away, leaving it both furious and powerless.
The sea roared in response, its waves crashing against the shore with devastating force.
"Yunfan!"
Shen Nanxing looked at the waves that were tens of meters high in front of him, but he was not flustered.
"They're here!"
Yunfan quickly stepped forward, creating a protective shield around them with his extremely cold white mist.
It instantly froze into ice when the waves crashed in, forming an ice ball that was pushed backward by the waves for nearly a hundred meters before coming to a stop.
【Little Zhanzhan, that's enough. Tell it to stop.】
Looking at the raging sea through the ice, Jiang Nian'an felt that the time was almost right.
If a few more waves of this size come, it will likely attract the attention of the survivors in Kyoto.
That would go against the old man's original intention.
【good! 】
Xiao Longzhan immediately transmitted his voice to the phoenix tree seed: "Little seed, stop for now."
Upon hearing his voice, the phoenix tree immediately stopped.
The mutated octopus king calmed down as it stopped, and the sea slowly returned to calm.
"Brother, wait for us here."
Once the waves had completely receded, Shen Nanxing looked at Jiang Nian'an.
Jiang Nian'an nodded almost imperceptibly. He then turned to say something to Shen Nanchuan and the other three, broke the ice ball, and walked forward with Jiang Nian'an.
"younger brother!"
Shen Nanchuan instinctively followed, "It's dangerous up ahead. Tell me what you're going to do, and I'll go!"
"Don't worry, there's no more danger."
Unless this octopus is truly courting death.
