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.

Japan may not find enough evidence to prove that the Chinese team killed their people, but it is also difficult for the Chinese team to find enough evidence to prove that it was the Japanese team who first pulled out their weapons on them and that the Japanese team was not killed by the Chinese team.

It won’t be good for their reputation if they remain suspect for a long time.

Zhou Xixian suddenly brought up a point, “By the way, wasn’t the American team nearby during the incident? They may have witnessed everything that took place.”

The Chinese team only realized the presence of the American team when they fled the scene.

Although the American team has not returned to their home country and instead has been following the Chinese team with unclear intentions, they could still serve as witnesses to the events in question.

The testimony of the American team would greatly assist the Chinese team as they cannot provide first-hand evidence on their own behalf. The existence of impartial witnesses would make it easier for the Chinese team to present their case.

“Let’s contact the American team,” Ye Bo exclaimed with excitement.

After reaching out through their connections, Ye Bo and Zhou Xixian were disappointed to hear that the American team claimed not to have seen anything.

They stated that they did not witness the Japanese team robbing the Chinese team, nor did they see any attack from an octopus.

However, the American team made an offer, suggesting that if the Chinese team were to share half of their findings with them, they would be willing to provide testimony.

Despite their efforts, Ye Bo, Zhou Xixian, and the others were unable to cooperate with the American team as they had not acquired any valuable treasure.

However, just as they were feeling hopeless, a video suddenly emerged on the internet that lasted for several minutes and showed clear evidence.

The video was a direct and painful blow to the Japanese team, silencing their accusations. Meanwhile, netizens were left stunned by the video’s contents.

“These Japanese people have no shame, acting so arrogantly.”

“Scared of them? How embarrassing.”

“It brings shame to the Chinese people.”

“I can’t say that, but it’s still very unfair.”

“What kind of monster is that?”

“A huge octopus, a massive octopus.”

“The ship was destroyed in one hit.”

“Killing a Japanese devil with one shot, that’s so cool.”

“Hahaha, what goes around comes around, even octopuses don’t like them.”

“This is such a relief.”

“I love this octopus, great job.”

“Wait a minute, is anyone else noticing how subversive this octopus is? Is there really such a giant octopus in the world, with enough power to destroy a ship in one hit?”

The Chinese netizens were abuzz with excitement as the video spread like wildfire.

The incident of the Japanese team bullying the Chinese team, followed by the appearance of the octopus monster destroying the Japanese team, was enough to garner widespread attention on its own.

But when combined, it became an even hotter topic of discussion. The entire Chinese population was infused with a burst of energy, fervently sharing the video in their social circles and chatting about it on the streets and in their homes.

The video did not only stir up excitement within China but also abroad, in countries like the United States, Russia, and the United Kingdom.

People all over the world were discussing the incident with enthusiasm, learning not only about the audacity of the Japanese team but also getting a glimpse of the legendary octopus monster.

Some even went as far as to plan expeditions to capture the octopus for scientific research.

In Japan, the spread of the video caused embarrassment and added insult to injury, as the country was humiliated by the octopus monster and had nowhere to direct their anger.

As they watched the video, Ye Bo and Zhou Xixian felt a mixture of excitement and confusion. They were pleased with the outcome of the situation and the fact that it was being spread far and wide, but they couldn’t help but question who could have captured the footage.

It couldn’t have been anyone from their own team as everyone was on edge, facing guns and grappling with the decision of whether to surrender or resist. In such a high-stress situation, it would have been impossible for anyone to focus on filming.

Furthermore, the perspective of the video appeared to be taken from a distance, capturing a panoramic view that included not just the Chinese ship but also the Japanese ship.

This led Ye Bo and Zhou Xixian to wonder who could have captured this video and how it was filmed.

Ye Bo and Zhou Xixian initially considered the possibility of the American team being the ones who took the video, but they quickly dismissed the idea.

The American team was too far away and the direction they were facing was completely different, so it was not possible for them to have taken the video. Furthermore, based on their previous attitude, even if they had taken a video, they would not have released it so generously.

After ruling out the American team, there was no one else who could have taken the video. At that time, there were no bystanders in the sea. The appearance of the video was strange and mysterious, leaving Ye Bo and Zhou Xixian with more questions than answers.

“It seems like there’s someone playing a hidden hand in all of this,” Ye Bo said.

The sudden appearance of the octopus and its attack on the detestable Japanese team was too convenient and almost seemed too good to be true.

Not only did the octopus not harm the Chinese ships, but it was even captured on video and released at the perfect moment. All of these events were so synchronized, it was as if someone was orchestrating it all from behind the scenes.

“How is it possible, it feels as if this monster octopus was instructed by someone, how could this monster octopus listen to anyone’s orders, it must be a coincidence, it’s more likely that a ship happened to pass by and we just didn’t notice it.” Zhou Xixian said.

“That’s right, how could the monster octopus be ordered by someone?” Zhou Xixian’s doubt was shared by Ye Bo. The idea of the octopus being controlled by someone seemed far-fetched and implausible.

The monster octopus was a formidable creature that lived in the vast and unpredictable ocean. The idea of it being able to follow orders from someone was difficult for them to grasp.
