Night fell, all was quiet, and the bright moonlight shone on the earth, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere.
However, for Jiang An, this night was destined to be anything but peaceful.
After a busy day, she was exhausted and sleepiness washed over her, and she soon drifted off to sleep.
However, just as she was immersed in a sweet dream, a rustling sound broke the tranquility and woke her up.
Jiang An suddenly opened her eyes, her heart pounding, and she tensed up to listen.
The unfamiliar voice grew clearer and clearer, as if it came from a distant place, yet it seemed to be right next to us.
At the same time, a strong, fishy stench hit her nose, and she, with her rudimentary sense of smell, found it unbearable.
She realized that the smell was not an illusion, but a real one.
She carefully pulled back a corner of the curtain and looked out the window in the dim light of the snow.
Sure enough, the once pristine white raft had become spotted, clearly indicating that something had climbed onto it.
Without hesitation, Jiang An put on his clothes, picked up his pistol, and cautiously walked towards the door.
Her movements were light and cautious, as if afraid of disturbing the unknown object outside.
As she reached the door, she gently pushed it open, gripping her pistol tightly in her hand, ready to deal with any potential dangers.
As soon as the door opened, a long tentacle shot towards Jiang An like lightning.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly and dodged to the side.
With a loud "bang," Jiang An pulled the trigger without hesitation.
The bullet whistled out and struck the tentacle accurately.
Instantly, the tentacles retracted.
Jiang An followed closely behind.
Once outside and standing on the raft, Jiang An realized that it was actually a giant octopus!
One of its tentacles still had a bullet hole, indicating that it had just been injured.
However, when the giant octopus saw Jiang An, it immediately became aggressive, and its other tentacles attacked her at the same time.
Just then, the pistol in Jiang An's hand suddenly disappeared, replaced by a sharp Tang sword.
Without hesitation, she turned to meet the attack, and with a single stroke, she severed two tentacles.
The giant octopus had so many tentacles that Jiang An, out of caution, did not choose to confront it head-on.
At this moment, blood gushed from the giant octopus's wound, fully unleashing its ferocity.
While skillfully dodging the giant octopus's attacks, Jiang An looked for an opportunity to slash at its tentacles.
Unfortunately, the giant octopus's tentacles seem to be endless; as soon as one is cut off, it quickly grows back.
At the same time, the giant octopus kept spraying black ink at Jiang An.
The ink fell onto the raft, instantly turning the surroundings pitch black and making a "sizzling" sound.
Jiang An strongly suspects that the ink is poisonous.
"No, we must finish this quickly!" Although Jiang An had two antidote pills, he preferred not to use them if possible, since he only had two and didn't know when he would get more.
Suddenly, as if he had discovered something, Jiang An produced a pistol, aimed it at a spot on the giant octopus, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Bang bang bang!" After three shots, the giant octopus finally collapsed heavily onto the raft.
