"So, that's why a deep-sea beast suddenly appears in the watch world. Richard asked, pointing to a dead octopus that looked like a skull in the central lake of the world.

A few days ago, he also saw the potential and horror of deep-sea giant beasts such as the Death Octopus and the King Squid on the Three-Eyed Octopus, thinking that they were the prototype of monsters, but he didn't expect to see a Death Octopus with his own eyes just a few days later, Fourth Order, he really shouldn't have thought about it at that time.

The goddess of fortune is above, and this deep-sea monster has nothing to do with truth, goodness and beauty in the eyes of humans, and in the eyes of sailors and navigators, it is the most terrible disaster that needs to be faced in the process of ocean voyage.

At this time, the role of the gods is highlighted, although it may not be possible, if it is the central ocean route, sacrifice to the goddess of the sea before departure, if it is the western ocean route, sacrifice to the lord of the storm, and pray that they will not be encountered.

"Yes. Talos nodded, "Mother has placed a legendary-level seal on the death octopus, and it will be imprisoned for a long time to come, unable to move freely, legendary-level." ”

"I don't know if you noticed that the word legendary has been mentioned 12 times in the last three minutes, huh...... Not counting the sentence just now. Richard reminded dryly.

The human bloodline knight admitted that when he first received the news that the Black Sea Lord had been promoted to legendary, his heart was as shocked as if he had been hit by a meteorite impact, gods, that was a legendary mage, the most powerful group of people under the stars!

It turns out that even the most shocking things can still be worn away at an alarming rate after being repeatedly mentioned in a short period of time, until only the blandness remains, such as now.

"Don't care, I'm just a little happy. Talos said with a wave of his hand.

An hour ago, Sandra fulfilled two of Talos's requests, one was to seal the death octopus with fourth-order strength and hand it over to him to deal with, and the other was to use a frozen blood spell to finish off the Water Whisperer according to his idea.

The result of this was that Talos absorbed the soul of the first fourth-order professional in his life, and it took nearly ten seconds for the orange soul fire to completely refine it, giving Talos a feeling of being able to eat on the spiritual level.

"Apparently it's not just 'some'—" The long time together made Richard realize that his landlord didn't mind a little joke, "but what are you bringing it to the world for?"

As if remembering something, he struggled to confirm to Talos, "New pet?"

"How is it possible, is it possible that my aesthetics are so bad in your eyes. ”

“...... Of course not. Richard wanted to say yes, but reason forced him to change the answer to another one the moment he blurted it out.

The human bloodline knight guessed correctly, Talos is indeed the kind of person who can take a death octopus as a pet, and seriously, who would refuse a pet with fourth-order combat power just because it looks like a skull?

No kidding, the crux of the matter is that the difference in strength between Talos and the Death Octopus is too great.

Not to mention that Talos's current profession is a bloodline knight, even if he is still a mage, he can't successfully accept a dead octopus as a magic pet.

At the level of the fourth order, both demonic beasts and magical creatures possess a certain amount of wisdom and can be subdued, but the beastliness and wildness engraved in the depths of the bloodline determine that they will not surrender to anyone whose strength is lower than their own.

Only fists and victories can earn their recognition.

What's more, this dead octopus has already made a magic contract with the Water Whisperer, and it has no possibility of becoming someone else's magic pet again.

Since he couldn't eat the grapes, Talos had to say that the grapes were sour.

Sweeping aside the distractions and unhappiness in his head, Talos pointed to the three-eyed octopus that swam from all directions to welcome him and said, "Be their food." ”

The three-eyed octopus eats the flesh, and he is responsible for refining the soul, dividing labor and cooperation, and performing his own duties.

Talos had a hunch that this group of three-eyed octopuses contaminated by [gluttony] would be a very important help to him in the future, and it would be worth feeding them with the flesh and blood of the dead octopus.

"Oh, what a sumptuous meal, and I can foresee how spectacular it will be. ”

Despite living in the watch world for a while and feeding the three-eyed octopus, their bizarre feeding patterns reminded Richard of some kind of creepy image every time.

Not this time, though, because the Three-Eyed Octopus did not obey Talos' order in a very rare way, neither using the stinging mouthparts at the tip of its tentacles to suck the blood of the Dead Octopus, nor opening the mouth in each sucker to reveal its spiraling teeth to quickly gnaw at the flesh of the other.

Instead, it is neatly centered on the dead octopus in a circle, and each stretches out its two longest tentacles to absorb the surface of the dead octopus, motionless.

"Strange, what are you doing?"

Talos departed from the boat and swam to the middle of the lake, taking a closer look, but finding nothing until he carefully lifted the tentacles of a three-eyed octopus away from the dead octopus.

The suckers of the two longest tentacles of the three-eyed octopus protruded some kind of special organ that Talos didn't know exactly what to define, and they outwardly appeared as a mass of constantly wriggling tentacles, thin and long, the most common pink of the flesh of ordinary creatures, piercing into the skin of the dead octopus and fixing its body to it.

Curiously, Talos pressed a hand on the back of the three-eyed octopus tentacle, and could easily feel the tentacles under his palm trembling slightly as they retracted and contracted.

There is no doubt that they are digging their elongated tentacles deep into the body of the dead octopus and sucking the life force of the dead octopus or other things that could be classified as nutrients or energy for growth.

This behavior naturally reminds Talos of a leech that clings to a human's feet and feeds on blood.

"Could it be some special form of parasitism?" Talos guessed, "and if so, the death octopus will not last long." ”

Talos's distress didn't bother him for long, because after about ten minutes, five three-eyed octopuses were out of parasitic mode at the same time and swam into the lake.

Under Talos' bewildered and curious gaze, the Three-Eyed Octopus began to catch the fish, but instead of using their tentacles to feed as usual, they cooperated with each other to separate the dead octopus's immobile mouths and enter it along with their bodies and prey.

They are systematically feeding the dead octopus in order to be able to parasitize it for longer.

"What a bunch of smart guys!" thought Talos.

"What a bunch of wicked guys!" thought Richard.
