Despite their initial relief, the Chinese team members couldn’t help but feel a deep anger towards the Japanese captain.
They were disgusted that he had attempted to use them as a shield, even if that meant dragging them down into the water along with himself. They were grateful that the octopus had not pursued them this time, but they couldn’t shake the feeling that the danger was far from over.
As their thoughts raced, the octopus suddenly caught up to the ship, its massive body looming close by. The team held their breath as the octopus reached out its tentacles once more, ready to strike.
“Come on!” The Japanese captain, realizing that there was no way out, yelled in desperation as he aimed the machine gun at the giant octopus in front of him. The fear and panic in his voice were palpable as he frantically pulled the trigger, hoping to make a stand against the enormous sea creature.
There was a loud “pop” and water splashed in all directions and sprayed on the Chinese ship like torrential rain. The Japanese captain’s body was lined up on the water by the octopus tentacles, turning into a puddle of flesh.
He couldn’t be more dead at this moment. The Japanese captain intentionally put his body against the Chinese Ship, but the octopus tentacles still just slapped him to death without touching the ship. Then, the octopus slowly sank into the water and disappeared.
“Run away!” The Chinese team finally started the engine of their boat and quickly sped away. To their relief, the octopus did not resurface or give chase.
They couldn’t believe their luck that the vicious creature had attacked their boat twice but failed to sink it. The Chinese team was grateful to have escaped the wrath of the octopus.
The members of the Chinese team were all filled with terror and felt incredibly fortunate to have survived the encounter. It was as if the octopus had a vendetta against the Japanese and wanted to take them down. The Chinese team shuddered at the thought.
The American team was shocked as they observed the scene from a distance.
“What the hell is going on? What kind of octopus is that?” One of the team members exclaimed.
“It’s not just any ordinary octopus, it’s a monster,” Another team member replied.
“Should we go over and check for survivors?” One of the members asked.
“Are you crazy? What if the octopus is still around? It’s not safe. And there’s no way anyone could have survived after seeing how it broke apart that ship. There’s no chance a person could withstand its strength,” Another team member responded.
“I think it’s too risky to stay here. Let’s get out of here,” The team decided.
The European and American teams observed the Japanese team’s attempts to fight the octopus, but despite their bravery, they were still filled with fear. They even considered praying for safety as they continued on their journey.
It was clear that they were not foolish, but the terror of the monster octopus had taken hold of them. Without delay, they quickly started the engines of their boats and fled the scene.
They were no longer interested in checking on the Chinese team or staying any longer in the presence of the dangerous sea monster.
The sea surface was now a chaotic scene with only shattered ships and lifeless bodies left behind by the Giant Octopus.
Below the chaos, the giant octopus joined forces with Su Jing, the King Cuttlefish, and the Killer Whale. Su Jing used his spiritual powers to scan the area for any signs of life, but of course, there were none.
He had seen the Japanese team’s aggression and the threat they posed to the Chinese team, and he had given the octopus the order to show no mercy. There was no way anyone could have survived the attack from the monstrous octopus.
“Let’s go,” Su Jing said as he mounted the Killer Whale and, along with the Octopus, King Cuttlefish, and Green-Eyed Fishes, quietly left the seabed. No one had detected their presence from beginning to end.
…
The Chinese team was lucky enough to make it back, but their journey was not fruitful. It was a complete loss for them. Fortunately, Huo Yunshu, being wealthy and influential, did not hold Ye Bo, Zhou Xixian, and the rest of the team responsible for the situation.
He seemed to not be too concerned about it. However, what they didn’t anticipate was that two days later, the Japanese would file a lawsuit against them.
The Japanese accused the Chinese team of sinking their ship and killing all the members of their team. They insisted on taking the case to an international court.
The Chinese team told the truth about the encounter with the monster octopus, but the Japanese did not believe them. They may have also been aware of China’s discovery of the first sunken ship and believed that the Chinese team had clashed with the Japanese.
“The Japanese will not let this go.” Zhou Xixian was frustrated, as he felt that nothing positive would come from the involvement of the Japanese team.
Firstly, the wreckage ships were robbed, then they were attacked by the Japanese team and they narrowly escaped thanks to an octopus rescue, and now they were being falsely accused.
“Biting back is their modus operandi,” Ye Bo said with annoyance.
“What do we do now?” Zhou Xixian asked.
“We’ll cooperate with the investigation. Regardless, we have nothing to fear,” Ye Bo stated confidently.
The Chinese team was sued by Japan and in order to give an account to the United Nations, the country will not ignore it and will definitely investigate this matter.
However, Zhou Xixian, Ye Bo, and other members of the Chinese teams didn’t do anything, and they were not afraid.
However, their primary concern is the potential for Japan to spread false information and damage China’s reputation on the international stage.
