There was another being that was even more frustrated than Tom the black cat, and that was Vigilante A, who was waiting in the air.
The System said, "Host, how's your Obsession? Why haven't they turned red? Is it because you've been living too comfortably recently, and you don't feel threatened anymore, so the power of your Obsession has decreased? "
Fang Ning immediately retorted, "Nonsense. It's because my strength has increased that the threat of these Bucket-level beasts has decreased. They're not that scary in my eyes. Do you want to know how strong I am now? "
The System said, "I don't want to know … I just want to know when you'll be able to dye them red."
Fang Ning looked down through the System View and was speechless, "They look like they're about to start a summer beach sports. It'd be weird if I could feel threatened …"
It turned out that on the beach below, hundreds of thousands of noisy octopuses were now clearly divided into twelve groups of different sizes, forming a large circle.
Then, twelve especially strong octopuses crawled out of the group, and they were obviously their leaders.
These twelve leaders were waving their long tentacles, and at the same time, their mouths that could not be seen were making strange "ka ka" sounds. This sound was very sharp and strong, so strong that Vigilante A, who was hundreds of meters above, could hear it clearly. Of course, Fang Ning could not understand what they were saying.
"Sir, do you know what they're saying?" Fang Ning asked expectantly.
The System said, "Ka ka, ka ka, ka ka ka ka, ka …"
"F * ck, are you being stupid again?" Fang Ning rolled his eyes.
The System said, "That's what they're saying."
Fang Ning ignored the idiot. Holding onto his last glimmer of hope, he shouted towards the Draconic Penitentiary, "Anderson, from the broadcast that you saw, from those voices, can you hear what these octopuses are saying?"
Anderson quickly replied, "As you wish, Your Excellency. They're saying that they have to compete in a tug-of-war to decide who's qualified to enter this rich city first, and take away the best treasure … "
Fang Ning said in surprise, "You even know this?"
Anderson said, "This is a type of Morse Code, taught to them by Tom the black cat years ago."
Fang Ning was instantly impressed. As expected of a genius, he could understand it immediately.
At the same time, he thought of something. That black cat was using the name of the Power Balance Maintenance Association to maintain the balance of power among the major forces on the surface, but in reality, it was fanning the flames everywhere, instigating conflicts between Extraordinaires.
He already knew from Anderson's work report that it was seeking the power of death for the Grim Reaper behind it.
The power of death was different from the power of fear. The latter was the power of faith and originated from the masses.
The former came from the Dao of Death.
As long as there was death, those who cultivated the Path of Death would be able to obtain power. This was similar to the Path of Heavenly Punishment, where one could obtain power by performing chivalrous acts.
It was just that the threshold for both of them was equally high … ordinary people wouldn't even be able to think about it.
As Fang Ning thought about this, his eyes turned and he said to Sir System, "I think Tom the Black Cat is probably using us. Sir, when you slay demons, there will definitely be deaths, and it will definitely be able to obtain the Power of Death. Perhaps this group of octopuses was bewitched by it after tasting the sweetness. "
The System said, "What? That black cat actually obtained power through me, I'll have to settle the score with it. "
Fang Ning said angrily, "It's time to teach this restless cat a lesson. Last time, it had bewitched Mahabrahma to send the four-headed snake monster to attack us. It's not rare for it to go against us."
The System said, "Oh, Mr. Rich Boss, you misunderstood. When I said 'settle the score' … I meant to ask it for money. The price will be calculated based on an Energy Cultivation Pill that increases strength. It will have to pay the amount of Power of Death it used me to absorb … "
Fang Ning finally understood what it meant by 'settle the score'. He almost vomited blood, "Are you still a heroic System? This black cat is not a good person, we need to get rid of it as soon as possible. "
The System said, "Oh, that's true. Let me take a look around first."
…
Huang Rui saw Vigilante A flying slowly above the city from afar, as if he was looking down at something.
He quickly reminded, "Sir Tom, Vigilante A is moving."
"Yes, I saw it. Wait for me to cast my spell." Tom the Black Cat chanted a few incantations, and an immeasurably dark fog completely enveloped the man and the cat.
"Let's find another place to hide." After saying that, it took the lead and ran under a large boulder far away.
"What about Sir's altar? Don't we need to use your Disguise Divine Skill to hide? "Huang Rui leaned against Tom and asked worriedly.
Tom the Black Cat said nonchalantly, "This Disguise Divine Skill consumes too much Power of Death, so it can't be used too much. Don't worry about the safety of the altar. That's the Altar of Death with unfathomable power. I'm the spokesperson of Death, so whoever I want to see it can see it. You and Maggie can see it, but Vigilante A can't.
"The Path of Heavenly Punishment that he cultivates is not stronger than Sir Death's Path of Death. His Heaven's Eye can see thousands of meters below the ground, but he definitely won't be able to see the Altar of Death that I personally set up … Besides, if he sees it, he'll be affected by the Path of Heavenly Punishment, so he won't steal anything from others. I don't think he's done it before. "
"Sir, you're so …" Huang Rui said respectfully.
He did not finish his sentence, as he suddenly stopped.
Tom the Black Cat was having a good time listening to him, so it said in confusion, "Why did you suddenly stop …"
"Sir, a figure flew past your altar just now. I can't see it anymore …"
He rubbed his eyes and cautiously reminded, "Sir, did you just revoke my permission?"
Tom the Black Cat turned around, and indeed, the altar with the wolf head and human body had disappeared.
It was stunned, but then it realized and immediately scolded, "I didn't revoke your permission … Bastard, it's that Vigilante A! He actually stole my altar. Damn it, that damned bastard, how could he do this? Taking without asking is stealing, and this goes against the Path of Heavenly Punishment!! "
…
"Sir, your eyesight isn't good enough. You didn't even find Tom, and all you did was bring in a broken altar. Of course, I now know that anything that you're interested in must be a treasure. "Fang Ning was speechless.
The System said, "Mm, Mr. Rich Boss, your eyes have improved. It's just that Tom the Black Cat is better at hiding than Xue Ba the Yellow Dog. I can't see it, so even if I call the Black Dog to open up the map, it would be useless."
Fang Ning said, "Then try activating your Spirit Gaze."
The System said, "It's useless. It's only a Legendary Esoteric now, but I can faintly sense that Tom the Black Cat is probably using some kind of Mythical Level skill to hide. My 'Ghost Eye God Eye' can't see through its disguise. If I want to upgrade to Mythical Level, I'll need ten billion experience points. "
Fang Ning was shocked at first, but then he felt relieved.
No matter how strong Sir was, it was not invincible. Tom the Black Cat was not an NPC monster that did not level up for ten thousand years. After realizing that Vigilante A's scouting ability was extremely strong, it would definitely prioritize evolving all kinds of hidden tactics to fight against him.
The world was big, and there were all kinds of strange things. It was better to hurry up and accumulate experience points to prevent all kinds of accidents.
While Fang Ning was shocked, Tom the Black Cat was in a frenzy.
"Bastard, that altar is very precious. Many of the materials on it are extremely difficult to find." The black cat paced back and forth. It was rare for it to be in such a rage that its fur stood on end.
Huang Rui had never seen Sir Tom in such a state, and he did not dare to say a word.
Fortunately, his Sir Tom quickly calmed down.
"No, I've underestimated Vigilante A's pair of dog eyes. He really can't see through the Divine Skill that Death gave me, but he can still sense the altar that I personally set up. Damn it, I'm still far from Death … Forget it, I'll set up another one, but this time I'll need to use more Death Energy to hide it too. "
Tom the Black Cat said nonchalantly, but it was actually very distressed.
Actually, the altar itself is not a big deal. It already has spare materials, and it's not like it's spending money to make another one. '
The key was that the Death Energy needed to hide it had to be deducted from the black cat itself.
Death would not give it an extra portion, and the Death Energy that was given to it during each sacrifice was fixed …
This would naturally greatly affect its cultivation speed.
"It's all these stupid octopuses' fault. If they entered the city earlier to kill people, Vigilante A would definitely not have the mood to patrol around. Hmph, if only Vigilante A fought with them and both of them were injured, it would be great to vent my anger." Tom the Black Cat said hatefully, its eyes staring at the school of octopuses that had already begun a tug-of-war on the beach.
…
Fang Ning was also watching at this moment.
"Sigh, that octopus that's acting as the rope is really unlucky … But, it has four more legs than the others. As expected, no matter where it is, this otherworldling is not welcomed."
An extremely strong and large octopus was in the middle of the octopus school. Other than being stronger, it was different from the other octopuses, which was that it had twelve long tentacles.
However, this was where it was unlucky. At this time, each of its twelve tentacles was firmly entangled by a slightly thinner tentacle, and then pulled back.
On its cylindrical head, a pair of large black eyes were exceptionally innocent, looking around as if it was looking for someone to complain to.
This time, there were twelve leaders, and they were not stupid. In order to determine the winner as soon as possible and enter the human city as soon as possible, they decided to use a two-to-one elimination match.
Therefore, very soon, this large octopus named "Twelve Arms" became the unlucky one, and was chosen as the rope for the tug-of-war.
The rules were simple, six leaders would form a group, and each leader would grab a leg. The group that could pull "Twelve Arms"'s head to their side would naturally win.
Then, the six victorious leaders would be divided into three groups.
The final battle would be the three octopus leaders pulling together, and whoever pulled Twelve Arms's head over first would be the winner.
Fang Ning watched with great interest. This sports competition of the otherworldling had a unique flavor, and if it was live-streamed, it would definitely be a hit.
The System said, "So boring, I shouldn't have come so early."
Fang Ning was speechless, "I already said, wait for your subordinates to find the enemy before you come. You're the one who came in a hurry, so just watch carefully, just in case there are any accidents."
There were no accidents …
Two hours later, the strongest octopus leader happily lifted up "Twelve Arms" that was already exhausted from being tossed around, and led the way to the city.
The System said, "It's finally over, their stamina is really strong …"
…
"Leader Hercules, can you put me down now?" "Twelve Arms" pitifully used Morse code to ask an octopus that was thinner than it was beneath it.
"No, I can only let you go after I find the treasure, so that they won't try to cheat on me." Octopus Hercules shook one of its limbs, rejecting the request of the otherworldling octopus.
From its perspective, Twelve Arms was a mutated molecule, and it was already good enough to accept it, so there was no need to be polite.
At that moment, on the roof of a small building not far away, a camera popped up, and two people's voices could be faintly heard, both speaking in English.
"George, look, it's two especially strong giant octopuses. They're the first to step into the human city, they'll definitely make the headlines."
"That's right, Ham, we're going to be rich this time. Look at how friendly they are … One of them is obviously tired from the long journey, and its skinny brother is carrying it. I've already thought of a great title. "
"What is it, George?"
"Is it the friendship between brothers, or the feelings of comrades?? Shocking, something like this can happen between two octopuses … "
"It really is a great title, the online media in China will definitely go crazy. They're very rich, and they like this style the most. George, you're ahead of everyone else in the industry again. "
"Hehe, people call me 'Smart George', and that's not a nickname for nothing."
The two audacious tabloid reporters stared at the two octopuses without blinking.
They were crawling on the empty streets as if there was no one else around.
Soon, they captured an even more shocking scene.
…
The skinny octopus crawled into the empty homes of the residents, but it did not do anything, and crawled out again.
In the process of going back and forth, it did not let go of its octopus brother.
Finally, it stopped in front of a luxurious shop that sold sanitary ware. After looking inside through the glass, with a whoosh, it threw the octopus brother far away …
Then, it crawled into the shop by itself.
Not long after, it crawled out with a bountiful harvest. Of the eight limbs, six of them had something wrapped around them.
Three brand-new gold-plated bathtubs, two gold-plated toilets, and a gold-plated wash basin.
"Hahaha, with these, my home will definitely look better …"
It made a "ka ka" sound proudly.
At a corner, the two tabloid reporters following the giant octopus were dumbfounded.
Ham said, "George, your title doesn't seem to work?"
George said, "No, I've thought of an even better title."
Ham asked, "What's that?"
