A Relative of the Sea King?

Commentator Jiang Shan said: [Another unexpected turn of events has occurred in the Hand Tractor Race! During the race, a giant Squid Monster suddenly appeared. We can see that this giant Squid Monster has four human arms and hundreds of tentacles. There is no demonic or spiritual power within it, so it doesn't seem to be a demonic creature of the cultivation type. Could it be some kind of Sea Demon with a special bloodline?]

[The Squid Monster seemed to be speaking something, but unfortunately, it was speaking some dialect from somewhere in China, and I couldn't understand a single word.]

[Haha, we just got news that this giant Squid Monster is an Easter egg that Venerable Spirit Butterfly and Venerable White placed on the track. Congratulations to our contestant, Young Master Phoenix Slayer Exterminator, for activating this Easter egg!]

Just as Jiang Shan was explaining, the Squid Monster became completely enraged.

It was a powerful demon that had been sealed for five hundred years, incredibly strong! But as soon as it was released from its seal, it was constantly being crushed.

"If I don't show my power, do you think I'm a sick octopus?" the Squid Monster roared angrily. Suddenly, it took a deep breath and swallowed a large amount of seawater.

As it absorbs water, a huge whirlpool forms on the sea surface.

A few breaths later, its body suddenly swelled to about three times its original size, completely blocking the entire sea surface race track—the edge of the sea surface race track had many fixed beams of light that served as markers, and the race could only take place within the range of these beams.

"You lot are all going to die!" the Squid Monster said menacingly, staring at the approaching convoy of hand tractors.

"Get out of the way, you're blocking my way!" Another voice rang out; it was Drunk Moon Hermit.

Behind the lay Buddhist were Northern River's Loose Cultivator and True Lord Ancient Lake Abbey.

This time, the Squid Monster had learned its lesson. Wielding hammers with all four hands, it slammed them down directly at the Drunk Moon Hermit, striking first. "You insignificant creatures, all of you, die!"

"Can't you understand human language? I told you not to block my way— 'Lightning Mad Dragon Drill'!" The huge drill bit reappeared on top of the Drunk Moon Hermit's tractor, with rune chains swirling around it.

"Then beat him until he obeys... Victory Ram!" Four horns appeared on each of the four wheels of Northern River's Loose Cultivator's tractor.

"You guys go first, I'll prepare another Scud Missile!" True Lord Ancient Lake Abbey said cheerfully. He had acquired quite a few Scud Missile last time. If it weren't for the fact that the hand tractor's trailer was too small, True Lord would have loved to fire ten missiles in a row, which would have been ten times more satisfying.

Behind the tractor race, Song Shuhang looked at the Squid Monster ahead with some confusion.

He felt that this Squid Monster looked somewhat familiar.

Especially its enormous eyes, I feel like I've seen them somewhere before.

"Where have I seen this before?" Song Shuhang racked his brains.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

I remember now... those eyes are very similar to the 'Sea King' behind the Sea Urchin Warrior!

In the very battle where the Void Sword Sect was massacred by the Sea Urchin Warrior, the Sea Urchin Warrior Chief used the 'Transformation' ability.

Finally, a spatial rift opened in the void, and the eyeball of the 'Sea King' that the Sea Urchin Warrior spoke of appeared behind that Space Gate.

"Is this giant squid 'Sea King'?" Song Shuhang wondered to himself.

But he soon dismissed that possibility himself.

The Sea King behind the Sea Urchin Warrior, though only shown once, is clearly very powerful, no less so than the Spirit Butterfly. Moreover, it can use some spatial powers.

Compared to this other Squid Monster, this one looks particularly comical.

Moreover, this Squid Monster is all show and no substance; it looks quite imposing, but its actual strength is pathetic. Any member of the Nine Provinces Number One Group could easily defeat this Squid Monster.

He's not 'Sea King', but he's very similar to Sea King.

So, could this Squid Monster be a relative of that mysterious 'Sea King'?

******************************

While Song Shuhang was pondering, Drunk Moon Hermit controlled the hand-held tractor and, with a few skillful dodges, easily avoided the Squid Monster's hammer.

Immediately afterwards, the layman swiftly dodged the Squid Monster's tentacles.

Finally, the Drunk Moon Hermit's 'Lightning Mad Dragon Drill' mercilessly pierced the Squid Monster's body. The Lightning Mad Dragon Drill opened a large gash in its body, and dark blood gushed out like Quan Shui.

"Ouch! It hurts! It hurts so much!" the Squid Monster screamed repeatedly, as all the seawater it had inhaled was expelled at once, and its body shrank rapidly...

The Drunk Moon Hermit snorted coldly, and the hand-held tractor mercilessly ran over the Squid Monster.

Next came Northern River's Loose Cultivator's 'Victory Ram,' cruelly adding two long, bloody gashes to its body.

After Drunk Moon Hermit and Northern River's Loose Cultivator left, a Scud Missile exploded on the Squid Monster, creating a brilliant burst of fireworks.

Boom~~

After the explosion, the Squid Monster was completely black, with a faint aroma of grilled squid still lingering...

The Squid Monster's entire body was spread out like a jellyfish, floating on the surface of the sea, seemingly already lifeless?

True Lord Ancient Lake Abbey chuckled and drove his tractor over its spread-out body with a 'putt-putt-putt' sound.

Song Shuhang, "So weak!"

What a waste of its imposing design!

At first glance, the Squid Monster's design looks just like a boss in a horror movie, even more imposing than the Abyss Demon Lord in the game.

Unexpectedly, after being repeatedly crushed, it turned into a jellyfish floating on the water's surface.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

Next, one by one, the contestants' hand-operated tractors rolled over the body of the Squid Monster.

The other party seemed to have given up hope, lying motionless on the sea surface, letting the athletes' tractors run over them.

Soon, it was Song Shuhang's turn.

"Is he really going to die like this?" Song Shuhang thought to himself.

He cautiously approached the Squid Monster. At the same time, he quietly grabbed the Overlord Shatter Saber, which was stuck next to the tractor seat.

I have a feeling this Squid Monster won't die so easily; it's best to be cautious.

As Young Master Phoenix Slayer's No. 44 tractor approached the Squid Monster, the Squid Monster indeed began to move.

"Hahahaha, you idiot, you really think I'm dead? How could that be? I won't die so easily. Prepare to die, you're my only target!" the Squid Monster said in a strange tone.

It seemed to be speaking China language, but Song Shuhang couldn't understand a word of it, not even which region's accent it was speaking. Perhaps it was even a regional China dialect from hundreds of years ago?

"Take this, Tentacle Lash!" The Squid Monster pulled out more than thirty tentacles and lashed them wildly at Song Shuhang.

Song Shuhang already had his sword in hand, ready the moment the Squid Monster began to roar—the first move of the <Reverse Scale Saber Technique>, Dragon Dance Form!

Suddenly, Young Master Phoenix Slayer leaped out of the hand-operated tractor and soared into the air.

As the blade moved, its marks were drawn, like a giant dragon dancing. Faintly, a faint dragon's roar could be heard emanating from the Overlord Shatter Saber.

Crack crack crack crack, the Squid Monster's whip whiskers rained down.

Ding ding ding, Song Shuhang's sword danced like a dragon.

Two breaths later.

Song Shuhang blocked all thirty-odd tentacle whips that the Squid Monster lashed out, none of them missing their mark.

Although there was a three-second delay, he was always able to predict the attack position of the Squid Monster's tentacles in advance and strike to block them when faced with the sea of whips from those thirty whips.

The initial probing exchange has concluded.

The Squid Monster retracted its tentacles, and Song Shuhang, controlling the body of the Young Master Phoenix Slayer, descended onto the sea surface as if walking on flat ground.

"So tough." He glanced at the Squid Monster, and the Overlord Shatter Saber could not even cut off its tentacles. The Overlord Shatter Saber was capable of slicing through the flesh of Fourth-Grade Cultivator, but when it struck the Squid Monster's tentacles, it could only leave a shallow white mark.

Keep in mind, it was the body of Young Master Phoenix Slayer the blade! Young Master Phoenix Slayer Fifth-Grade demon cultivator. Although it was unknown what kind of demon he was, demon cultivators were generally much stronger than human cultivators.

This Squid Monster, which looks weak and pathetic, has a physical strength that far exceeds that of Fourth-Grade- grade monster.

More importantly, it seems like my opponent has their sights set on me—damn it, can't they even let me compete properly? If I can't make it into the top ten, I'll have to go on Universe One-Month Journey.

Moreover, this January trip is different from the last one. This time, Venerable White won't be accompanying him to space; he'll be going on an adventure through the ruins with his fellow Daoists.

In other words, Song Shuhang will have to spend a month alone.

I'll go crazy!

If only I could use some of Young Master Phoenix Slayer's special moves right now, I could beat this giant squid to a pulp and then just run it over.

"Aaaaah... Move aside!" Just then, a series of screams came from behind.

That voice sounds so familiar.

Song Shuhang didn't need to turn around to know who it was: the Road Killer, Eastern Fairy, back on the battlefield.

Just as he heard the voice of the Eastern Fairy, Song Shuhang heard the 'putt-putt-putt' sound of a tractor engine coming from about a hundred meters behind him.

Wow, so fast! Has the Eastern Fairy fallen into another 'Sixtyfold Acceleration' trap?

Song Shuhang decisively dove into the sea, intending to sink... There was no other way; he had a three-second delay. At this moment, the only way was to sink to the bottom of the sea to avoid Eastern Fairy and prevent a tragic car accident.

However, Young Master Phoenix Slayer's body had only just landed flat on the sea surface and hadn't sunk yet.

Suddenly, he felt a weight on his back, a burning pain— the Eastern Fairy's hand-operated tractor had mercilessly run over him...

Young Master Phoenix Slayer's eyes immediately welled up with tears. They tasted salty, and it was hard to tell if they were his tears or seawater.

"Ahhh, I'm so sorry, Young Master Phoenix Slayer, I'm so sorry!" Eastern Fairy was almost crying with anxiety. Then she shouted loudly, "Great demon in front, Shan Shan, get out of the way!"

"Damn it, not again? Do you really think I'm a sick octopus? Take this, Chaotic Rain Hammers!" The giant squid roared, swinging its four arms like hammers, raining down on the Eastern Fairy.

But this hammer attack was just a cover.

Inside its mouth, a potent acidic venom had already condensed, just waiting for the Eastern Fairy to approach so it could splatter the liquid all over her face...
