After Yan Zong chopped off the giant octopus at the bottom of the boat, the intact giant octopus discovered him and rushed towards him.

Sensing the octopus's intention to attack, Yanzong instinctively focused his chakra on the knife, and then slowly raised his head to look at the octopus.

Indifference, calmness, ferocity, and murderous intent filled Yan Zong's eyes.Animals' sixth sense is inherently stronger than that of humans, and their perception of danger is close to instinct.Being stared at by Yan Zong's terrifying eyes, the octopus felt extremely dangerous, immediately stopped the car, turned around and ran away.

At this moment the captain dived into the water and appeared in the octopus's escape route.Seeing this, Yan Zong slashed out with his sword, and the slash passed between the captain and the octopus.

The octopus immediately stopped and turned around and ran again. Yagyu Konsune struck another slash on the octopus's escape route. The octopus immediately stopped again and avoided the slash.

After a slight pause, the octopus changed direction and continued to escape.

"One knife, chaos." Yan Zong slashed several times in succession, blocking all directions of the octopus.

For a moment, Octopus didn't know where to run. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yan Zong stepped forward.Quickly approach the captain as if you were running through the water.In fact, Yan Zong didn't know it was the captain before approaching. He only knew that there was someone there, possibly a crew member.

Yan Zong made a gesture, which meant to capture.Make a fist with your left hand, grab it with your right hand and pretend to drag it twice.The gestures were planned in advance because you cannot speak underwater and can only communicate through gestures.

The captain gave Yan Zong a thumbs up, indicating that he understood what Yan Zong meant.

At this moment, Octopus reacted and started to run away again. This time he caught the opportunity when Yan Zong and the captain were together, and spit ink at Yan Zong and the captain.

The large amount of ink instantly obscured the sight of Yan Zong and the captain.But this was of no use to Yan Zong, who could still kill the octopus with one strike.

However, Yan Zong did not take action and gave up the idea of ​​catching this octopus.He didn't like bullying weak people who had no fighting spirit, not to mention that this octopus had already escaped.

You must know that after the octopus spits out ink, it will accelerate and rush out for a certain distance.This distance means that even if Yan Zong kills it, the octopus has already sunk into the depths during the time when the boat sailed over to catch it.

Since you can't get it, why kill in vain?

Fortunately, although the octopus attached to the boat was dead, it instinctively clung to the bottom of the boat.

Returning to the boat, the captain quickly arranged the fishing. Because of the shortage of manpower, both Yan Zong and the captain participated in the fishing, and the first mate took charge of the command.

On the only long table in the captain's room were a windproof oil lamp and a chart, one corner of which was held down by the oil lamp.The oil lamp illuminated the chart and the faces of three people, the first mate sitting behind the table, and Yan Zong and the captain sitting in front of the table.

"There are three giant octopuses in total?" The captain touched his chin and thought, murmuring and repeating Yan Zong's previous words.

After completing the salvage work, the captain arranged everything.The three of them gathered in the captain's room to summarize today's attack.There is not much of a problem with the attack itself, it's just that the level of danger is very high, and the outcome will be whether you can survive it or not.

But considering the current situation, anyone who is not a fool will suspect that this attack is related to the disappearance of the whale.

"To summarize the information," the first mate said.

The first mate is a former ninja, and analysis is a required course, so he is responsible for the main analysis.However, Yan Zong's analytical ability is not bad or even better, but he may have missed some information since he has not been on the ship for a year.

"The time it takes to get through the tentacle crisis on the ship. The crew and I have determined that it will take about 3 minutes from start to finish. It can be said to be long or short." The captain said first, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Yan Zong.

"There are three octopuses in total." Yan Zong nodded, "This is the first thing I said to Shimazu after getting on the boat. It is also the most important point in this summary, and it may also be the most useless point."

"Yes!" The captain and first mate both nodded.

"Although I know you all understand what I mean, I still want to say it so as not to miss anything." Yan Zong pointed to a place on the chart.

"There are many large animals in our world, and they have been attacked more than once or twice." After speaking, Yan Zong glanced at the other two people, and after they nodded in affirmation, he continued.

"And this attack was by three giant octopuses. You all understand that three giant octopuses appear in one area at the same time, which means there is enough food for them to grow. Maybe it is a whale or us."

"But no matter how much food there is, octopuses cannot gather together to attack us. As far as I know, octopuses are not social animals."

"You mean someone is controlling them?" asked the captain, "but who can control them?"

"Ninja" Yan Zong replied looking at the first mate.

"Yes, it is possible." The first mate said, "For example, the necromancy of ninjas and the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan."

"Maybe it's some weird ninjutsu," the captain joked, "Don't ninjas always use weird methods to achieve their goals?"

"There are indeed many weird ninjutsus." The first mate was unmoved by the captain's inappropriate joke.Besides, what the captain said was right.

"That's what I want to say. There may be ninjas controlling these octopuses. Of course, it may also be just a coincidence. Coincidences can sometimes be so unbelievable that they are like miracles." Yan Zong said seriously.

“I don’t believe in miracles,” says the first mate.

"I don't believe it either." The captain had the same idea.

"Okay, that's all I want to say. I need to look at the specific response when I get home."

"Okay, there's nothing to say about the big picture." The first mate said, "What I want to say is the details. No matter what, our work must continue."

The captain nodded affirmatively.

"Captain, I heard you had a tentacle that you couldn't cut off?" the first mate asked the captain.

"Yes, it was Yan Zong's help in the end." The captain replied, "But I cut off one in the back."

"Why can it be cut off again?" the first mate asked again.

“It’s hard to say”

"Perhaps it has weakened. The octopus's tentacles have weakened." The first mate said seriously, "After you recklessly used your body to resist the tentacles, the crew members relaxed without chakra attached to the knife in order to save you. Cut off the tentacles."

"This shows that not every octopus tentacle is that powerful. And..."

"Wait a minute, I agree with you. But the octopus leg I cut off has definitely not weakened. The reason why I was able to cut it off was because of a strange feeling." The captain interrupted the first mate. He wanted to do it for him. The ability to argue.

"How do you feel?" Yan Zong asked. The first mate couldn't hear anything from the captain's words, but Yan Zong could.

"It was a very strange feeling. I felt like time slowed down at that time, and then I suddenly had the strength to cut off the tentacle. After I actually cut off the tentacle, I felt very tired. It was like I hadn't slept all night. ” recalled the captain.

"Well..." Yan Zong nodded thoughtfully, "This must be the first time you have realized the power of thoughts.

"What is that?" the captain and first mate asked at the same time.

"It is a power of human origin, just like the sixth sense." Yan Zong said, "Do you understand the sixth sense? It is intuition. After training, you can fight as usual even if you are blindfolded. You have also initially learned and After using it, for example, I can feel the breath and killing intent.”

"The power of thought is to use thought to amplify attacks. In the era of samurai, warriors used the power of thought to cut through rocks, cut steel, and even stop waterfalls. It was also used for defense, but the effect It’s not great, but it’s still useful.”

"But this kind of original power is difficult to master. After the ninja era began, most samurai began to learn to use chakra to amplify their attacks because of simplicity. Gradually they gave up on the original power. Even the sixth sense and Compared to before, it was nothing more than a child’s play.”

"Why have I never heard of the original power being so powerful?" the first officer asked Yan Zong.

The captain also nodded thoughtfully, agreeing with the first mate's words.

"You have definitely heard of it." Yan Zong replied, "Although other warriors will not explain it to you like me, they will definitely mention two words, 'idea'"

"Oh!" The captain and the two men understood instantly, "This is what samurai usually say."

"The power of thoughts can only be understood by oneself. Some people understand it quickly, as if they are born with it. And some people can't understand it in their lifetime. But if someone gives guidance, most people can understand it."

"Although there are not many people who have realized this way, it is mainly because it takes a lot of effort to realize it, but it may not be successful. This creates a phenomenon. Since it may not be successful, why not change it to someone who is sure to succeed? So those who know the meaning of ideas Those who have power but have not mastered it will not mention this method to the next generation, but will teach them how to use chakra."

"But the good thing about this is that everyone in the Iron Kingdom can be a warrior, and quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. This is why the Iron Kingdom is strong."

"How powerful can a warrior with the power of thought be?" the first mate asked, and the captain seemed to want to know too.

"Cut everything apart!" Yan Zong said seriously.

"That's all about the power of thought. The captain's feeling is the same as when I realized it for the first time. So I can be sure..." Yan Zong suddenly paused at this point.

"There is also the most important point I forgot to mention, and it is also the easiest point to ignore. The power of thought cannot be overused. People who overuse it will faint due to fatigue. A year ago, when I chopped open the whale, it was because of overuse. Just fainted."

"Okay, this is almost all about the power of thoughts. Captain, you can practice it when you are free. Let's get back to the topic." Yan Zong said.

"Main topic? Where did I just say?" After the first mate's train of thought was interrupted, he failed to continue at the first opportunity.

"You mentioned that not every tentacle is so powerful." The captain said with some pride, as if he was happy because he understood the power of thoughts.

"Ah! That's right, not every tentacle is that powerful; and this shows that there is room for improvement in the strength of the octopus. For example, all eight tentacles are very powerful." The first mate stopped intentionally here and glanced at the two of them. Then a disturbing question came up.

"Since there is room for improvement, where will the height be? Will a tentacle appear in the next second that is thicker than our ship and harder than steel, and can be winched with just a slight winch? Crushed octopus?"

After hearing the first mate's words, the captain and Yan Zong couldn't help but shudder.They didn't expect this possibility at all, and the captain didn't think about it at all. He felt that the previous octopus was strong enough, and there couldn't be an octopus stronger than that.

Li Zong felt that he could easily deal with those octopuses, so he didn't take it seriously.

"This...isn't possible?" the captain said hesitantly.

Yan Zong nodded, he felt the same way.

"Judging from today's situation, the possibility is indeed unlikely, but it is not impossible." The first mate said, "But this is only a possibility, and there are two other possible dangers."

At this point, the first mate Youjian glanced at the captain and Yan Zong, and the captain understood immediately.

"Is it related to the disappearance of whales?" the captain asked. This was the question he was most concerned about at the moment.

"Well, if there are three octopuses, there may be more octopuses. Perhaps the reduction of living space has caused the whales to migrate." Youjian said, "If this is the case, we may have to face harassment from octopuses frequently in the future. "

At this point, there was a knock on the door, interrupting the discussion.The captain opened the door, and the boatswain came in carrying a tray. On the tray were three bowls of soup and three pairs of chopsticks.

"Let's first try to see if the octopus meat can be chewed," the captain said.

Yanzong picked up a piece of meat from the soup, looked at it, looked at it, and then ate it.

"Frankly speaking, it tastes good." Yan Zong said.

"At least when we encounter this giant octopus in the future, we won't bear the risk in vain." The first mate smiled.

The three of them happily had a midnight snack and started discussing again.

"I mentioned two situations before, but they are somewhat based on some basis. Now I'm going to make a pure guess." Youjian said and his expression became serious.

Seeing You Jian's appearance, Yan Zong and the captain put aside the comfort brought by late night snacks, and their expressions became solemn.They understand Youjian, and Youjian is not the kind of person who takes aim without aim.

"Lord Yanzong, have you heard the news about the murder of Lao Baisha?" You Jian asked Yanzong, and Yanzong nodded.

"The captain told me when we first boarded the ship." Yan Zongdao, "The death of Old White Shark led to the disintegration of the White Shark Alliance."

"You mentioned before that there is a possibility that these octopuses are controlled by others." You Jian paused here and saw Yan Zong nodded in agreement before continuing, "We assume that the octopuses are controlled by someone or a certain group. And these people mainly focus on destruction, which will lead to shortages of supplies at sea and more rampant piracy. At this time, Old White Shark was murdered again, and people had to connect them. Of course, all these are just assumptions and conjectures."

"Chaos at sea will bring trouble to several countries near the sea. The hostile Congress did this. Although we were attacked by three giant octopuses, we only know this time but cannot guarantee that such things have not happened in other places. What you said Although there is no evidence for this possibility, it is possible. And this possibility is the most troublesome, I hope it will not be like this." Yan Zongdao.

"I hope that's not the case," said the first mate.
