Happy octopuses are particularly good at finding joy in hardship; even when thrown into the sea by their owners, they can still play with sharks and the seawater.
It played like that until evening, and retrieved quite a few more items.
This time, however, it learned its lesson and knew that its owner didn't like trash, so it avoided marine debris.
Among these items were not only coral steel and strange gold coins, but also eight pieces of star steel that Gu Xi had specifically requested to retrieve.
"Not bad, not bad, it seems you took my words to heart." Gu Xi patted the octopus's head, offering a meager bit of encouragement.
"Chirp chirp!" But the octopus was so proud that it kept urging its owner to keep his promise.
"Okay, okay, here's your fish food."
Gu Xi was certain she wouldn't go back on her word about the agreed-upon amount of Star Steel and fish food. Her only concern was that the fish might overeat and get stomach aches.
Gu Xi gave the octopus eight packets of fish food, and then she discovered that the octopus was holding a packet in each of its tentacles; none of its tentacles were empty.
It feels a bit like some women going on a shopping spree at a mall, stuffing everything they can into the space.
Then she saw the octopus empty one of the bags into the shark's hands.
Watching the shark devour its food, she felt the fish looked somewhat familiar.
She squinted and thought for a while before remembering that this fish was her mount, which she often used to ride with the octopus.
"Wow, you're pretty good at cooking fish. Use the fish feed I gave you to raise them."
After teasing it a couple of times, Gu Xi ignored it and continued collecting the salvaged items.
She felt it was better suited to the sea, watching it happily recruit its underlings.
However, the relaxed and pleasant time passed in the blink of an eye. The once calm sea suddenly became turbulent, and an indescribable aura rose from the depths of the sea.
The ship swayed gently under the influence of this powerful aura.
The scarlet gaze blazed brightly with red light, and the octopus, abandoning its previous playfulness, jumped directly into the sea, reverting to its original size.
The sharks in the sea were even more restless, wandering around aimlessly.
Gu Xi immediately became alert. She stopped what she was doing and stared warily at the sea.
The sharks are now behaving very differently than when they encountered the octopus before.
When attacking the octopus, although they were no match for it, they still fearlessly gathered together to launch a group attack. However, now, they have shown no intention of fighting back at all.
The Scarlet Gaze can detect hostility at a considerable distance. Given that the ship is rocking so violently at this distance, it must be something big coming.
The sharks in the sea are out of the question; this time, the main attackers are her and the octopus, who will take on the big guy.
Gu Xi summoned all the spikes at once. This time, she took out her strongest spikes, the spikes from the Azure Spider's legs.
With the armor-piercing effect of Coral Steel Spikes, the continuous bleeding effect of the Blue Spider King's leg spikes, and various potions, as long as her defense is broken, she can grind down and kill the big guy.
The waves on the sea became increasingly turbulent, and Gu Xi immediately cast a defensive barrier on himself to guard against the enemy's mental attacks.
Gu Xi held her breath, staring intently at the surging sea.
Amidst the churning seawater, a colossal figure gradually emerged. It was a gigantic creature, slowly rising to the surface, each step it took making the surrounding air grow heavier.
