"Bang!!"
The two tabloid reporters, Ham and George, saw the proud giant octopus being knocked out by a sword aura that came from the sky.
Then, it was swept up in the air and thrown far away towards the ocean. They could almost hear the faint sound of something splashing …
Everything was normal. The only difference was that the gold-plated bathtub, toilet bowl, and washbasin were still in place.
Vigilante A was spacing out in the sky.
Fang Ning was trying to dissuade it, "Sir System, don't pick up these trash anymore …"
The System said, "Why? You said it during the inauguration ceremony last week, 'Mount Tai cannot be achieved without accumulating dust and dirt' …"
Of course, Fang Ning would not say that it was too low. Vigilante A was now the leader of the martial arts world. How could he pretend to be righteous if others saw him like that …
He started to bluff, "There are two tabloid reporters downstairs. If they report that you've picked up these toiletries, the next time someone wants to repay you, they'll definitely think that you have a special interest in these things, and they'll give us toiletries instead of something else …"
The System said, "I see. You're so smart, Mr. Rich Boss. I'll pick them up the next time there's no one else around … "
Fang Ning was speechless. He knew it would say that.
George and Ham rushed out and used their cameras to take pictures of Vigilante A's back as he flew away.
At that moment, Ham saw the golden toilet bowl and bathtub on the ground. He instinctively went forward to touch them, and his heart was filled with greed.
"George, they're really gold-plated. That's weird. This is just a small city in Australia. Even though the toiletries shop is well-decorated, it's not possible for them to sell such expensive items. But I don't care about that. I only know that these six items add up to a few million USD. Why are we still tabloid reporters? We'll be rich if we take them home … "
That's right. Fang Ning was not an expert in luxury goods. His eyes could not compare to Ham, who was a reporter. If Ham could tell that these items were real, they would definitely be expensive and not trash.
George looked at Vigilante A who was circling above the city and glanced at him. "If you want to swim in the sea with that octopus, I won't stop you from taking them."
Ham thought of all the rumors about Vigilante A. He swallowed and stood up regretfully.
"However, we can dig a hole and help the owner bury it to prevent others from picking it up …" George changed the topic.
"Hey, you're really smart, George. That's right, in this case, Vigilante A has no reason to make things difficult for us. " Ham was excited. He picked up a shovel from the roadside and began to dig a hole under a few lush coconut trees.
George quickly joined the queue. Under the temptation of money, the two of them were full of motivation. In the new era, their physiques were also gradually strengthened under the nourishment of vitality. They worked very quickly.
Not long after, an extremely deep pit was dug by them.
Then they laboriously put down the six gold-plated sanitary wares.
When they climbed out of the pit with great effort, the next moment, their vision went black, and they fell back into the pit.
The six sanitary utensils were placed under them.
…
The second strong octopus monster entered the city. It crawled along the route of the previous big octopus. From afar, it found a big pit shining with golden light. Under the tropical sun, it reflected an extremely dazzling light …
It rushed over excitedly.
By then, George and Ham had already woken up.
They looked at each other and were struggling to get up. Just then, a huge and ferocious octopus appeared above the pit and stared at them coldly.
"Oh no, we're dead!!" Ham exclaimed.
"Damn it, I shouldn't have thought about these treasures. I could have made a fortune in peace, but from now on, people will call me stupid George. "George covered his face, not daring to look at the ferocious octopus.
At this moment, the octopus suddenly opened its mouth and said to them, "Ka, ka ka, ka ka ka …"
Ham was shocked and confused. "What is it saying?"
George thought for a moment. "I guess it's grinding its teeth, preparing to eat us."
Ham was so scared that he collapsed into the gold-plated bathtub that he loved so much just now. He stared blankly at the scary octopus.
"Two idiots. Mr. Tom was right. Most humans are stupid. Only a few elite humans can understand this noble language. We, the giant octopuses, who can easily learn and use this language, are destined to be the rulers of the planet in the future. "
A thought that was filled with pride and arrogance entered the minds of the two tabloid reporters.
"Oh my god, it can communicate with us?" George had a glimmer of hope. He hoped that they could stall for time until the person who had knocked them out arrived.
Of course, he did not know that the person was looking at them from thousands of meters in the sky.
He hurriedly pleaded, "Mr. Future Overlord of Earth, please have mercy and spare us two foolish humans."
"Sure, bring me my gold container and I'll let you go." The octopus seemed to enjoy the compliment of the former ruler of Earth. It swung its tentacles proudly.
The two tabloid reporters were overjoyed. They bent down to carry the toiletries, but the next moment, two strong tentacles suddenly wrapped around their bodies.
"Oh no!! This octopus is so cunning. It's so powerful, but it's still trying to trick us into letting our guard down! Is it afraid that we'll be too nervous and cause the quality of the meat to deteriorate? "
With that thought in mind, they watched helplessly as they were tightly wrapped by the two tentacles. They were quickly placed in front of the ferocious mouth under the octopus' head!
What confused them was that the octopus did not open its mouth to bite them. Instead, it started to bite its mouth up and down with a "ka ka" sound.
"Don't be afraid. Those two idiots are acting on their own." A doubtful thought entered their minds.
Then, they realized that they were put down by the two tentacles. Just when they thought that they had escaped death, the two new idiots grabbed them again and sent them to the octopus' mouth.
This happened again and again. The two of them were so scared that they almost peed their pants. What was this mysterious Mr. Octopus trying to do?
The savior that they were waiting for did not appear.
They thought regretfully that their greed and cleverness had angered the Pharos of the East. He was watching them reap what they sowed.
…
High up in the sky. Vigilante A looked at the scene below expressionlessly. He did not move at all.
The System said, "Eh, Host, this is a new monster. One against eight. I've never seen a monster like this. One big red dot with eight smaller red dots …"
Fang Ning was speechless, "You ignorant fool. What do you mean by one against eight? That's a characteristic of an octopus. Its eight tentacles have a certain degree of autonomy, just like an AI."
The System said, "This monster is not bad. Although it can only be knocked unconscious, the experience points gained won't be much lower than killing it."
Fang Ning's face was solemn, "You idiot, all you see is experience points. I can see the hidden danger in the big picture. These octopuses have limitless potential. Once all eight tentacles have evolved to fully think, their learning ability will be able to crush most normal people. No wonder they can learn the complicated Morse code so easily. If someone were to instigate them at that time, it might not be as easy as it was today … "
The System said, "I don't understand … Have you considered the big picture? Now let me knock it unconscious. "
…
Ham and George scrambled away from the hole they had dug.
The merciful Mr. Overlord Octopus was knocked unconscious by a sword aura that descended from the sky. It was then thrown into the ocean like its predecessor …
The disappearance of the two octopus leaders naturally did not scare the large octopus group.
On the contrary, without the leader's restraint, the group of the two octopus leaders had already swarmed into the city.
"Ka ka" sounds came one after another.
Anderson explained and translated in real time.
"The leader is gone, I think it was thrown into the ocean?"
"Hmph, what's there to be afraid of? It's great that the leader is gone, no one can control us anymore! What do you guys say, what do we want? "
"We want cans!!"
"We want the best cans!!"
"No one can stop us from looking for cans!!!"
Groups of octopus monsters passed these coded messages to each other, then swarmed into the city without hesitation.
Soon, they appeared in every bar, every square, every shopping mall …
They happily took away the big vases, the thick water pipes, and the big fish tanks …
…
Two days later, Tom the Black Cat stared at the hundreds of thousands of octopuses floating on the surface of the sea. They were drowsily drifting with the waves …
"I can't believe I didn't collect any Death Energy. Instead, I lost a precious Altar of Death, and even used Death's Shadow Disguise three times, which consumed a lot of my Death Energy …"
It muttered to itself in disbelief.
Huang Rui instinctively hid far away. He knew he was in big trouble this time.
The next moment, he found Sir Tom in front of him, glaring at him fiercely.
"This is the good idea you gave me!!"
"I'm very sorry, Sir Tom," Old Man Huang Rui stuttered as he tried to explain himself, "It's my mistake. I didn't expect these octopuses to have gained sentience and become demons, but their nature is still hard to change. Instead of chasing after humans to eat, they went to steal those worthless human containers. Of course, Vigilante A won't kill them. "
Tom the Black Cat thought for a while, then retracted its sharp claws.
It still did not make things difficult for its subordinates. The other party's idea was not bad. The only mistake was that he underestimated the strong nature of these octopuses. They could actually suppress their thirst for power.
That was because it was not easy to find such a useful and loyal subordinate. Someone like Anderson, who swayed with the wind, was the most common.
"Looks like I'll have to find a marine clan that's bloodthirsty enough. Help me consult again, there's no room for mistakes this time!!" The Black Cat said sternly. It could not afford to fail too many times.
Huang Rui immediately tried to salvage the situation, "I won't fail this time. I'll definitely plan well."
…
At this moment, a large octopus with twelve tentacles climbed down from a coconut tree with difficulty. It was kicked far away by the leader and fainted immediately. It relied on its twelve tentacles to subconsciously save itself by grabbing onto a coconut tree. It did not fall into a dangerous place, which was why it was able to survive until now.
It looked at the bustling human city, then turned around and climbed towards the sea without hesitation.
