Chapter 3 "Giant Octopus"

After the moray eel left, Noah did not come out immediately but continued to disguise himself for an hour. Only when he found that there was no ambush did he slowly poke his head out. "Hmph! Can you fight with me?" Noah said sarcastically. When it comes to Lao Liu's behavior, who can compare with me? I'm still a little hungry. The seafood buffet just now was destroyed before I could finish it. I almost became a buffet for other fish. But if this moray eel can appear in this sea area, he will still have to be careful in the future.

Then he quietly went to the bottom of the sea and changed the color of his body to the color of sand. "If I can't eat shrimps, I can't eat shellfish desserts?" Noah began to search for shellfish in the mud and sand on the seabed. The sea area he was in was not very deep, and the temperature in the sea was not cold, which was suitable for octopuses to survive. After rummaging around for a while, he found an extremely huge clam with a shell twice as big as his body. "F**k! This guy can feed me for several days!" Noah said excitedly.

With a whoosh, he came to the giant clam's side, and its eight tentacles firmly attached to its shell. However, at this time, the clam had closed its shell tightly, and it was impossible to destroy it from the outside. But this guy closed the shell's mouth so tightly that it was not easy to open it! Noah tried to open the shell with his tentacles, but he couldn't open it even after trying for a long time. Even though he had 60 kilograms of strength, this shell was even more powerful. "NND, don't open the door! I don't believe I can't cure you!"

Then he dragged the giant clam to a seabed rock. His four tentacles tightly clung to the clam's shell, and then he swam two or three meters up and smashed the clam downward against the rock. The fierce impact caused the clam's mouth to open slightly. Seeing that this trick was effective, Noah started his plan to smash the shells. Below you could see an octopus holding a huge shell and smashing it on rocks on the seabed. After hitting it more than a dozen times, Noah was panting from exhaustion! The clam's mouth was completely smashed open by him, and it fell into a coma!

"Huhu! Fight with me! I am the overlord of this sea area! Humph!" Noah started to sneer. Then he went directly inside the clam shell and began to devour its flesh and blood.

[Ding! The host gets 1 energy point by swallowing "Tridacna"!]

[Ding! The host gets 1 energy point by swallowing "Tridacna"!]

After more than ten minutes, Noah was finally full, and there was still more than half of the clam's meat. "When you're full, let's continue evolving!" At this time, he already had 324 "Energy Points," 250 of which were given by the "Newbie Gift Pack," and 74 of which he got from eating seafood.

[Ding! You have met the requirements to evolve "Giant Octopus." Would you like to spend 200 energy points to evolve it?]

"Yes! Evolve me immediately!" As his choice ended, strong energy entered his body. Soon his consciousness fell into a deep sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Noah woke up from his deep sleep! "Huh?! Why did I fall asleep? Could it be that changing species will lead to a deep sleep?" Noah asked in confusion. If this is the case, then you must choose a safe place to evolve in the future, otherwise, you will not know if you are eaten by other predators during evolution. Let's take a look at the properties panel first!

[Name: Noah]

[Species: Giant Octopus]

[Bloodline: Ordinary Level]

Only then did he realize that his size had become the same as that of a large dog. However, as octopuses are boneless animals, he could shrink into this shell. "The size, strength, and defense have all increased a lot, but the speed has dropped," Noah analyzed. The lifespan also increased by 1 year, and he gained the skill "Night Vision," which is a very practical skill. This way, he can see everything clearly even deep under the sea. 

But what is this "artistic" part of the talent? Squidward doing art? Suddenly, his body felt hungry again, which seemed to be another consequence of evolution. He then ate all the remaining clam meat and found a pearl. "Sparkling pearls! But now you want the pearls to be used as chicken feathers?" Noah threw the shells casually. 

He then stretched out four tentacles from the shell and began to swim towards the distance. With this shell as armor, ordinary ocean fish are no longer a threat. However, 200 "Energy Points" are required to evolve to the youth stage of "Giant Octopus." He only has 152 points now, which is not enough. He wanted to accumulate more "Energy Points" and then find a safe place to directly evolve. 

He has already chosen the next evolutionary route. This species is no longer a conventional creature, and its name is: "Phantom Octopus"! Noah had never discovered this type of octopus in his previous life. From the evolution pictures, this "Phantom Octopus" is not only large in size but also glowing. However, these are still too far away. For now, he needs to accumulate "Energy Points" first! 

He also seeks revenge on the moray eel. Now that he is a "giant octopus," the roles of prey and hunter have been reversed. "Don't let me meet you, or I will kill you!" Soon, he came to a reef where there were a large number of shrimps and crabs, which could provide him with many "energy points." When the shrimps and crabs saw a giant clam swimming over, they showed no fright. But there was a "giant octopus" hidden in this clam's shell! He noticed that the nearby shrimp and crab didn't notice him, so his tentacles shot out instantly and caught a few shrimps into the shells, eating them one by one and spitting out the heads. 

"Ding! The host gets 0.5 energy points by swallowing 'Red Shrimp'!" "Ding! The host gets 0.5 energy points by swallowing 'Prawns'!" However, as his size increases, this kind of sea shrimp is only enough for him to take one bite, so one sea shrimp can only add "Energy Points" once! Fortunately, his devouring speed and catching speed were fast enough, and he quickly accumulated 257 "Energy Points." "Eh?! Something's wrong! Why can I still see the scene outside without leaving the shell?" Is it the "Induction" skill or the talent effect of "Detection"? 

His sensing range was about ten meters in radius. Just when he was experiencing the sensing skills, a yellow and black moray eel appeared in his sensing range. "That's right! This is the guy who was chasing me just now! Okay, here's your chance!" Noah's two octopus eyes turned cold.
