Chapter 5: The Tide Is Coming

Just as he was muttering, waves of cold seawater came rushing over. Along with this seawater came a large number of fish, and at this time his sensing range had reached a radius of 100 meters. With just a little sensing, tens of thousands of fish appeared within it, and there were several sharks behind the school of fish.

"Shit! Shark! Run! Wait, I'm a mature giant octopus now? Do I still have to be afraid of sharks?" Noah said in his heart. In his perception, these sharks were only about 3 meters long, but he was now 10 meters long and weighed 300 kilograms! Isn't it easy to handle these sharks?

"I've been longing for shark fins for a long time, and you're bringing them to my door!" Noah looked sharply at the sharks in the distance. Then he swam towards the school of fish. The fish were frightened and scattered when they saw such a huge giant octopus. Within ten seconds, he saw the shark charging towards him.

"Here comes the shark fin! Haha!" With a whoosh, his huge octopus body rushed towards a shark more than 3 meters long. When the shark saw this terrifying octopus, it ran away instantly! Sharks are the natural enemies of octopuses in the sea, but they only hunt small octopuses. Sharks will also become their prey when faced with this 10-meter-long giant octopus.

"Boohoo!" Four tentacles as thick as telephone poles suddenly shot out and entangled the escaping shark in the blink of an eye. The shark struggled hard, but the harder it struggled, the tighter the tentacles became! When several other sharks nearby saw such a terrifying giant octopus, they fled away into the distance.

"Snapped!" Noah used his fifth tentacle to slap the struggling shark hard. The shark's head was bleeding from the blow, and it also fainted. Seeing the shark no longer struggling, Noah slowly pulled it to his side.

"Hey! Let's perform three mouthfuls of a shark!" Noah started to eat the shark. After one meal, he devoured the whole shark. Then he lay leisurely on the reef at the bottom of the sea, stretched out a tentacle, pulled out a bone spur of the shark, and started picking his teeth!

"Tsk tsk~! The taste of this shark's fin is pretty good, and it has a lot of energy points! It's comfortable~"

If anyone sees this scene, their jaws will drop. He took a look at his current energy points, which increased by 65 points. This shark has increased his energy so much. It seems that he will hunt more such large prey in the future.

But he's not full yet. At his current weight, he can eat two 3-meter-long sharks, so let's continue hunting! A few minutes later, he smelled a strong smell of blood, which came from the sea to the west. What kind of marine life could produce such a strong smell of blood?

"Is it a whale? It's impossible. This is a shallow sea area, and whales generally don't come to this area!" Noah thought. Regardless, let's swim over to see what's going on. Soon he swam to the western sea, and a large number of fish were attracted by the smell of blood, including more than a dozen sharks!

Noah sent out a sensor, and a huge gray whale carcass appeared in his sensor, with less than half of the gray whale's body eaten by some creature. This gray whale was at least 15 meters long and very huge! Generally, marine creatures of this size have no natural enemies. How could it die here? And judging from its wounds, it was bitten off by some creature. Damn it! Not even a blue whale or sperm whale can inflict such wounds! "Ancient great white shark?" Noah shook his head.

Don't think about unrealistic creatures like that. If there really were such a thing, humans would have discovered it long ago. However, whale meat should be able to add a lot of energy points. Should you try whale meat? At this time, he was hiding under the sea disguised as a stone, investigating the situation and thinking about countermeasures.

Let's observe it for a while first. Anyway, the whale's carcass is so big that it won't be eaten by other fish for a while. As the saying goes, when a whale falls, all things come to life! That's the truth! But I heard that there are many good things in whales. Noah kept his disguise and observed the surrounding situation. After a few dozen minutes, a dark shadow appeared in his senses. The black shadow moved so fast that he didn't even react.

"What can go away after just one sting?" Noah wondered inwardly. Judging from the size of this black shadow, it is definitely not less than 20 meters. It is a big guy! Is it another adult whale? Shouldn't it? Then he stabilized his emotions and became patient.

Two minutes passed, and the dark shadow appeared again! This time Noah finally sensed the whole picture of this guy, and at this time Noah broke out in a cold sweat! Because he saw a giant ichthyosaur!

"Damn it! Isn't this a creature that appeared in the Triassic period? Why is it still here now?" Noah said in surprise. What did this tide bring? No wonder the system even issued tasks! Fortunately, I didn't eat whale meat just now. Otherwise, I would have fallen into this guy's trap. It turns out that these sea creatures are so naive, and they can even use fishing methods.

It's better to stay still for now. In this guy's eyes, you are just a little Karami! The giant ichthyosaur swam past him and quickly swam to another location without noticing anything unusual. Those sharks that are two to three meters long are only small fish to the giant ichthyosaurs, and they have no interest in hunting them at all.

Then the giant ichthyosaur bit the gray whale's body and swam toward the deep sea. Noah's little heart gradually became less nervous as he watched the other person leave. The opponent's sense of oppression is too strong, it seems that we need to evolve quickly! Even if he is a ten-meter-long giant octopus, he is not safe in this kind of ocean.

And what's going on with this giant ichthyosaur? Haven't humans encountered this in so many years? Then he quietly swam back to his own sea area from the bottom of the sea. "It's better to eat my Xiaoyuyujizan energy points!" Noah said helplessly.

Soon he began to crazily hunt all kinds of sea fish in his own sea area, and his energy points also increased crazily. A few hours later, he clicked on his "Evolution Tree" and began to check the evolution requirements for the next level. 

"Ding! You have met the requirements to evolve 'Phantom Octopus,' but your 'Energy Points' are less than 1,000 and you cannot evolve," it stated. It originally cost 1,000 points, but now he only had 722 points, which was still 300 points short! Then keep hunting!

Another two hours passed, and he had killed less than half of the fish in the sea, and most of the other fish had also left the sea. But now that he eats those small shrimps and crabs, he no longer increases his energy points. After looking at the energy points, he reached 1,070. It was time to evolve. Then he found a seabed reef hole, sneaked into it, and clicked on the "Evolutionary Tree" function.

"Ding! You have met the requirements to evolve 'Phantom Octopus.' Would you like to spend 1,000 energy points to evolve?" 

"Yes, evolve immediately!"
