Chapter 623: Not Acting Cool, He"s Invincible!Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Giant Squid didn"t know if it was expensive or not, but it felt comfortable all over after eating it.
It was an interesting fact that the eyes of the squid were strangely shaped like a W. After it ate the Dali bean, the eyes of the big squid became heart-shaped. “This thing is delicious, can I have another one?”
“Wowowo, if you like them, I have quite a lot.” The huge squid had been bought over by just one little Dali bean, it was a good deal. “Brother Squid, can you help me transport this stone?”
“No problem.” The Giant Squid"s consciousness thought back at him.
Then, everyone saw the Giant Squid use his tentacle to “delicately and skillfully” pick up the giant energy stone which weighed more than a hundred tons—its tentacles held the stone very firmly. It looked just like a person holding a fitness ball in his palm…
“Let"s go! Let"s go back to Big Fis.h.!.+ Wahahaha! Today is a really fruitful day!” Hong Dali sat on the great white shark Xiao Bai"s back as they prepared to make their way back. “With Brother Squid helping us, there will be no problem. Hahaha!”
“Your thoughtless carefree nature…” Tang Muxin covered her face. “When will it ever change?”
When everyone had gotten onto the Giant Squid"s back, they finally comprehended how big he actually was.
It was impossible to see its length in the dim light of the deep sea, but judging from the thickness of its tentacles and the size of the suction cups on its tentacles—the suction cups were at least a meter across! According to the proportions Lin Chuyin mentioned earlier, it was obvious this huge squid had some kind of genetic mutation which made it at least a hundred and twenty meters long!
Such a big fellow was definitely the Master of the Sea! If it were in “One Piece”, it would be the standard sea king cla.s.s. Put it in a science fiction film, it would be the most powerful weapon on Earth! If it were in a disaster film, it would be the epitome of a sea monster—no need for makeup, it would be playing itself!
The important thing was, Hong Dali still thought it was insufficient—he fed the Giant Squid another Dali bean.
My G.o.d, there was no knowing if the Giant Squid would further mutate in the future. Would it grow to three hundred meters long? If it really grew that big, the Heavenly State would no longer need to build aircraft carriers.
“Dali, Brother Squid is so powerful. Let"s ask him to join us!” Even Ling Xiaoyi knew Hong Dali liked collecting talents, Tang Muxin naturally would not be left behind. “He seems to really like the Dali beans. Give him more in the future?”
“Of course. This Brother Squid is so powerful.” Hong Dali smiled widely and patted the Giant Squid"s back. “Brother Squid, let"s play together in the future, okay?”
“I should be the one saying those words.” The Giant Squid sent telepathically. “You have such yummy food, I should be the one asking if you"ll be my friend!”
“It"s settled then. Hehe!”
The Bureau Chief took a deep breath as he waited on Big Fish.
The brat Hong Dali had gone exploring in the sea and there was no telling what he would bring back. Based on his usual luck, it would probably be something good. What could there be under the sea? Lost treasure? s.h.i.+pwrecks? Underwater gems? Animals?
Just as he was thinking about it, the voices on Big Fish were suddenly full of enthusiasm. Someone asked, “What? Young Master is back from exploring the sea? You have come to announce his arrival, and ask us to be mentally prepared?”
Li Yang replied, “Yes, I"m just here to tell everyone not to be too shocked no matter what you see later. Don"t misfire, keep your weapons properly.”
The same person asked, “What is so scary? We have been with Young Master for so long, what have we not seen? We will not be too surprised, don"t worry.”
The lackey Li Yang said, “That"s what you say now, you"ll be scared to death later!”
“What can scare a person to death?” The Bureau Chief chuckled as he walked toward them. “Li Yang, what good stuff did Dali find in the sea?”
“This…” Li Yang hurried to apologize. “You will find out later, Bureau Chief. Young Master said not to tell.”
“Hehe, you"re being purposely mysterious.” The Bureau Chief took a stool and put it in the middle of the deck on Big Fish. “I will have to see exactly what is it that can scare a person to death!”
Before long, the Bureau Chief gave himself two hard slaps. “This… this is not really here? What kind of a monster is that! Is it a deep-sea monster?”
What had just appeared in front of the Bureau Chief was a gigantic, two-meter thick tentacle.
This tentacle was at least forty meters long and it trashed about in the sea. The waters were split open, and every move seemed to cause the sea to tremble. Big Fish the aircraft carrier was already a giant that was more than three hundred meters long, but the momentum of the tentacles made it look more terrifying than the aircraft carrier—after all, the aircraft carrier was a non-living thing, but this guy was alive!
Overwhelming force, this was really was an overwhelming force!
The sea was wailing, people were trembling. With a “bang”, the tentacle slammed into the sea around Big Fish. The sound was fear-inspiring.
“G.o.d, that is… it"s a sea monster!” The Bureau Chief was stunned! The sea around the carrier was beaten to foam and mist by the tentacle. A breeze blew through it, and the mist felt cool when it touched their skin.
The tentacle trashed about in the sea for a while before another tentacle slowly extended out of the sea.
This tentacle was a little different from the previous one. This tentacle seemed to be relatively gentle, not because its owner was afraid it might scare everyone on Big Fish, but because, at the tip of the tentacle, there was a small figure sitting cross-legged.
His eyes were as s.h.i.+ny as obsidian, and his not quite long hair danced in the wind. The Mechanical Holy Garment he wore reflected the sunlight which streamed down from the sky, but his face was filled with a mindless smile. Obviously, he was very satisfied with his stunning entrance—Hong Dali was not acting cool, he was invincible.
“d.a.m.n! The Young Master is going against the heavens!” The scene had everyone on Big Fish staring awestruck. All of his cla.s.smates crumpled onto the ground as their legs gave way. “Young Master can even be friends with such a gigantic fellow? This is unbelievable!””I can"t do it. I must have slept in a wrong position today. Quick, tell me this is not real!””How would I know if it"s real or not? Such a big squid. G.o.d, this fellow…”
No words could describe such a scene.
By then, the Giant Squid had slowly risen up from under the surface. Everyone was dumbstruck.
It was a humongous squid that was more than one hundred and twenty meters long. Its tentacles even brought Hong Dali from the sea directly onto the deck of Big Fis.h.!.+
It would not be an exaggeration to say that if this Giant Squid played a part in a disaster film, there would be no need for computer special effects at all—the huge squid in “Pirates of the Caribbean” was probably just this size…
The great white shark Xiao Bai was lying quietly on the back of the Giant Squid. Tang Muxin and the others were lying on the back of the great white shark Xiao Bai. The scene, tsk, was just waiting for someone to exclaim, “This scene is too beautiful. I can"t look, I can"t look!”
“Dali, you…” The Bureau Chief stared at Hong Dali, stunned. There were no words to describe his thunderstruck feelings. “You fed him Dali beans, didn"t you?”
“Ah? I just gave him one.” Dali asked curiously, “Why? I feel this Brother Squid can grow bigger still…”
“You really fed him…” The Bureau Chief covered his face with his palm. “Brat, are you planning to make this fellow grow as big as an aircraft carrier?”
“Good idea!” Hong Dali nodded vigorously. “That"s what I am thinking of doing!”
Okay, it seemed that depending on how much courage a person had, this squid was going to be just as big—in the future, when the wars.h.i.+ps of the Heavenly State went out to sea, this big guy would go along in the middle? It was actually quite an exciting thought…
“Ah, okay, okay, let"s stop talking about this. There"s something more important.” Hong Dali turned and yelled at the sea, “Brother Squid, bring everything up!”
Once it heard Hong Dali"s instructions, the Giant Squid waved its tentacles about in the sea and soon had Tang Muxin and the rest in its grip. Then, it simply plucked them straight from the sea and deposited them on the deck of Big Fish. After it put Tang Muxin and the rest on the deck, it pulled the huge energy stone that they found in the deep sea chasm out of the sea with three tentacles and deposited it on the deck. My G.o.d, that was a rock that weighed over a hundred tons! Once it was on Big Fish"s deck, they could very obviously feel that the carrier was now tilted to a side!
“You!” The Bureau Chief sighed and said, “Where did you find something with such herculean strength? Isn"t he way too strong?”
Judging from the size, the energy stone was definitely extremely heavy. But it didn"t take the Giant Squid any effort at all to move it. It was not hard to imagine how strong it was.
“Ah, my big dolphin called him here.” Hong Dali smiled. “I had originally planned to find a few stronger ones. But I didn"t expect to find one so big.”
As he spoke, he took out a Dali bean and threw it at Giant Squid. “Brother Squid, have another one!”
The Giant Squid opened his huge gaping mouth that was full of teeth and ate the Dali bean in one gulp.
The rows of teeth in its mouth had everyone"s hair standing on end—an elephant would probably only be enough to fit between its teeth…
They had to stop looking. Any more and they were bound to get nightmares that night!
Everyone started to disperse.
“Dali.” The Bureau Chief hurriedly pulled Dali to one side. “This fellow is indeed huge. Right, let"s not talk about him first. Anyway, it seems to be on good terms with you, so I"m not worried. I"m here today to deliver Granzon and the Adamantium to you. Do you want to go take a look at them now?”
