After Little Blue, the Blue-Scaled Flood Dragon, won its battle, Liu Changxu finally had the strength to deal with the Blue-Star Octopus hiding in the deep sea.
Little Blue would force the two third-tier Great Monsters—the Golden Rock Turtle and the Blue-Star Octopus—out of the Deep Sea. Once they surfaced, Liu Changxu would deal with them.
However, Liu Changxu had clearly underestimated the intelligence of third-tier Great Monsters. After Little Blue forced them to the surface several times and Liu Changxu gave them a thorough thrashing, they no longer dared to surface.

Worried about the fighting on the surface, Liu Changxu did not dare keep playing hide-and-seek with them in the depths!
