The fishing boat shook violently several times and was pushed several meters away before it managed to stabilize without capsizing.
This tentacle that suddenly stretched out from the water... Oh, no, it's the octopus monster that doesn't seem to have much ill will towards humans. Instead, it is more curious. After hitting the target, it actually waved its tentacles and pulled forward a few times.
The small fishing boat swayed from side to side, and the five people on board had to grab onto fixed objects around them to ensure that they would not be thrown out. The audience in the live broadcast room were terrified and shouted "Ahhhhhhh" to Bai Li and the others to be careful.
Instead, Gray Scale, which was closer to the giant octopus, was beautifully ignored. The wild boar Ironhead paddled quickly with its four short legs, leading its owner away from the dangerous area, and watched from a distance.
Grayscale was so anxious that he walked around on the pig: "What should we do? What should we do? It's such a big octopus. Will it smash our boat into pieces? No, we have sailed so far and caught a lot of hairtail. If the boat breaks down, it will be difficult to get back."
After saying this, he looked down at Tietou thoughtfully, pondering the possibility of carrying six people on a pig.
Maybe...if we squeeze in, we can still sit down.
However, Huilin's plan was ultimately not realized.
After getting used to the swaying of the boat, Bai Li and his companions quickly responded. After a few glances and a few whispered instructions, the five of them quickly took action.
Give me a bowl of rice and what are you doing? The two men rushed to the steering wheel, holding it tightly to control the direction of the fishing boat and prevent it from deviating from its course.
Jiang Huaibi hugged the long mast with both hands and comforted the audience in the live broadcast room: "Don't worry, even though our boat is made of wood, you have to trust Li Li and the game made by Li Li. Even if it is a wooden boat, it will not fall apart easily. It's just a stupid big octopus. It won't cause too much damage to the boat. Wait, it's hunting time soon. Li Li and Boss Yaoxing are going to catch it!"
Just as Jiang Huaibi said, as soon as he finished speaking, Bai Li and Wen Xingyao found the right opportunity and jumped down.
At this time, the head of the giant octopus just emerged from the water. Before the round and slippery octopus head could see this beautiful world clearly, two hateful humans landed on its head and took out sharp weapons to poke it down hard.
The two weapons, an axe and a hoe, were shining with gold, indicating their noble value.
"Chi——!" The giant octopus let out a painful howl, but did not immediately lose its fighting ability.
The pain prompted all its tentacles to wave around wildly. The huge tentacles hit the water surface, stirring up waves, soaking people all over, and their hair stuck to their faces. However, Bai Li and Wen Xingyao did not intend to give up their weapons. Not only did they rely on them to stabilize their bodies, they also put in the effort to poke deeper into the wound.
The giant octopus screamed even louder.
When the two attacked the giant octopus, the fishing boat had already been driven away from the battlefield, and Huilin also commanded the wild boar Tietou to run and join them. At this time, Jiang Huaibi set up a live camera and filmed from a distance, so that the audience could easily see everything happening on the battlefield.
"Fuck! What a ruthless person! He chopped me right on the head. My head hurts just thinking about it!"
"So, why were we all screaming and hugging each other just now... These two are so powerful and brave, we can definitely beat them. Dull.jpg"
"Look! The demon star boss took out a kitchen knife and a small dagger from his backpack and went towards one of the tentacles. And Li Li...he took out a fishing net from his backpack. It seemed to be a super fishing net with only three pieces. What is he going to do?"
The war between humans and giant creatures was ever-changing. After dodging the tentacles several times, Wen Xingyao finally took action. The dagger in his left hand could stab the giant octopus to prevent himself from sliding down, while the kitchen knife in his right hand was steady, accurate, and ruthless. Whenever a tentacle swung over, he would chop it off with the huge strength of his arm.
At the same time, he could hold the handle of the dagger with one hand and jump around on the giant octopus, as slippery as a loach and would not be hit at all.
The audience said frankly: If they were the giant octopus, they would probably be so angry that they would vomit blood at this moment.
Not long after, Wen Xingyao chopped off a complete tentacle and it fell into the water. After that, Huilin, who had come over at some point, caught it steadily, put it on the pig, and ran away again.
Before he left, he left a few words as an explanation: "Hehe, hehe, we can't waste such a big tentacle!"
Bai Li: “…”
Wen Xingyao: “…”
Okay, as long as you are happy.
Bai Li still stood on the giant octopus's head, cooperating with Wen Xingyao tacitly. Whenever the giant octopus swung its tentacles at Wen Xingyao, he would use force with both hands on the two weapons at the same time, either poking down or twisting his wrists to turn the handles, in any case to cause pain to the giant octopus and harass it.
The giant octopus was making a "chi chi" sound, but it had no way to deal with the two people. The rapid loss of physical strength made it quickly lose the ability to struggle, and the frequency of its attacks became much lower.
Bai Li seized the opportunity, opened the super fishing net that he had prepared long ago, and covered the giant octopus with it. At the same time, he did not forget to remind Wen Xingyao to jump away quickly to avoid being caught in the net.
The super fishing net, as a fishing tool that has the ability to attract a large range of fish and automatically capture them in a directional manner, is also effective against giant creatures in the ocean. Once they are successfully caught, they will release a paralysis factor, causing the giant marine creatures wrapped in it to lose consciousness and become vulnerable to being slaughtered.
Bai Li counted to three seconds silently in his heart, and watched the giant octopus close its eyes before he breathed a sigh of relief. He and Wen Xingyao, who had rushed to his side, grabbed the traction rope of the fishing net and waved towards the fishing boat not far away.
"Hurry up and drive the boat over there! Hurry up and drive the boat over there! It looks like Li Li has caught the giant octopus! Our little boat will soon have a new trophy!"
"The first fishing boat in "Leisurely Farming": a small broken boat?? Are you polite??!!"
"Hahahaha! Don't worry about whether the boat is broken or not at this moment. I just want to take a close look at the giant octopus that's missing a leg. Hey, it's unlucky for it to run into our Li Li and Boss Yao Xing!"
"Grilled octopus legs, fried octopus with soy sauce, octopus balls... slurp slurp slurp! I can't wait to get into the game, open my mouth and wait for the big guys to feed me!"
The boat quickly came back, Bai Li and Wen Xingyao stood on the deck again, handed the towing rope to a few people, and asked them to be responsible for pulling the giant octopus up.
Jiang Huaibi handed over two cups of tea at the right time: "Boss, please have some tea. Boss, you have worked hard. Li Li, you are so awesome!"
Although if they went up, there was a great chance that they would be able to subdue the octopus, it would undoubtedly be a fierce battle. It would definitely not be like Bai Li and Wen Xingyao, who caught the octopus easily and caused considerable damage to it.
"Thank you." Bai Li was really thirsty. He thanked Jiang Huaibi and took the tea from him, then tilted his head back and drank it all.
The light scent of tea alleviated the slight heat caused by the battle, and Bai Li turned back into the calm and "harmless" young man.
There were no accidents during the process of pulling the giant octopus up. It looked limp and powerless the whole time. Even though it woke up in the middle, it had lost control of the remaining tentacles, making a slight "chi" sound. Its huge eyes were wide open, and it looked somewhat pitiful.
Someone in the audience couldn't bear it and asked in a comment.
"I want to know, what are you going to do with this big octopus? Although it does look delicious, but... I always feel that it is a bit pitiful."
"Big octopus: I was just stretching in the territorial waters, why did you get caught? I even lost a leg, it hurts so much 5555... How pitiful is this?"
“Hahahaha! The epic interpretation above almost made me believe it! We can’t let such a big octopus go. What if someone passes by this sea area again and is attacked by it?”
Jiang Huaibi read out these comments and asked for the opinions of the two people who caught the giant octopus.
"Li Li, Boss Yao Xing, you are the ones who caught the giant octopus. It's up to you to decide what to do next."
Bai Li and Wen Xingyao looked at each other, and for a moment they could not think of any other solution except killing and eating it.
As if it knew that the people in front of it were discussing its life and death, the giant octopus's eyes became more and more moist. It struggled to control its still limp tentacles to surround its head. It was trembling slightly, looking weak, pitiful, and helpless.
Bai Li looked at the giant octopus, his gaze lingering on its huge head for a long time, then he looked at each of the tentacles that stretched out for several meters, and suddenly a good idea came to him.
"How about..." Bai Li suggested to the people around him, "If you don't have any ideas about this octopus, why don't we sell it? With its size, it is definitely a sea overlord. I suggest that players who have 'tamed grass balls' buy it. Maybe after keeping it as a pet, you can ride it freely on the sea?"
"Oh, by the way, players in our village have to buy it. We don't support home delivery."
Bai Li's proposal hit the spot for many players who were watching the live broadcast. The barrage of comments was quiet for a few seconds, and then fell into a frantic buying spree.
"I, I, I! I'm from the Mushroom Village, and there's an empty spot in the pet cage. Li Li, look at me, Li Li, look at me, please sell this giant octopus to me!"
"Damn! Why didn't I think of that? If you catch it in the sea, it must be able to swim in the sea. If you tame it and make it a pet, you don't even have to look for the design drawings of the fishing boat. Wouldn't it be great to just bring food and drinks and go out directly?"
"Ahhh! Why am I not a villager of 'Mushroom Village'? I hate it so much. I just passed by the giant octopus like this. It's a rare aquatic mount. Oh..."
"As expected, he is Li Li. His ideas are more advanced than ours. We only thought that the giant octopus could be eaten, but he has already given a better suggestion. Brothers, you should think bigger in the future and don't embarrass the players of Leisurely Farmhouse when you go out!"
"What?! There are sea mounts for sale here? I rushed over here when I heard the news. Is it on sale? Is it on sale? My wallet is thirsty!"
“…”
Bai Li's proposal attracted a lot of approval, but there was a prerequisite, that is, the six people in the seagoing team had no demand for this giant octopus.
Wen Xingyao was the first to speak up: "I don't need it, my three pets are all here."
Bai Li also said that he didn't want it. Although he still had two pet slots, he had no interest in such slippery animals and was more inclined to tame furry little animals.
Gray Scale stepped on the wild boar and clung to the side of the boat, expressing his choice: "I don't need it either. I have my own Iron Head, who can come and go freely in the sea!"
Moreover, this giant octopus gave him quite a fright, and he is still traumatized by it.
Give me a bowl of rice and let me imagine what you are doing. It is hard to imagine myself riding a giant octopus. I waved my hands and refused repeatedly. They prefer normal mounts. As for the tools for going out to sea, the first fishing boat has been made. How far will the second and third ones be?
Jiang Huaibi has even less need for it, as she is the owner of this fishing boat!
In this way, all six members of the sea-going team gave up the ownership of the giant octopus, and decided that if the giant octopus was successfully sold, Bai Li and Wen Xingyao would take 60% of the sales amount, and the remaining 40% would be taken by each of the other people with 10%.
Originally, Jiang Huaibi and the others were not going to take the reward, after all, they did not contribute any effort in the capture process. However, after Bai Li persuaded them with the reason that "they are a team, and they would not have encountered this giant octopus if they had not gone out to sea together", they accepted it with a shameless face, feeling very embarrassed.
The audience was almost dying of laughter, and they all expressed their opinions in the barrage, saying, is it really okay to "divide the spoils" in front of them when the items haven't been sold yet?
The villagers from the Mushroom Village who heard the news and rushed over immediately urged: "Can we start now? The money is ready, let's start bidding now, the highest bidder wins!"
Wait, when did it become an auction?
Everyone on and off the boat was stunned.
