Chapter 221: Subduing a 5th-Tier Creature, Octopus Giant Beast
Boom!!
The Azure Lake surface shook incessantly, and the surrounding low mountains sent rocks rolling.
Waves erupted, hissing and struggling.
The enormous commotion echoed continually, and underwater there appeared a brief vacuum; one corner of the skull-shaped head of the Octopus Giant Beast was visibly pierced through.
"Roar!!!"
It was shocked, angry, and in pain, wanting to flee.
Yet, that small and stubby White Gray Stone Statue was pulling at its tentacle with brute force, refusing to let go.
Besides that.
The black baboon was constantly bombarding it with punches, appearing weak, but why was it so painful??
Boom!!!
A Black Flash burst instantly, tearing flesh apart.
A life-or-death crisis appeared, and it could no longer care about so-called dignity.
"Roar!!!"
With a great shout, the lake trembled.
Chen Feng and the Holy Shield Giant paused, extremely vigilant.
As a result, in the next second.
"Sha!!"
It suddenly stopped struggling, lowered its body, seemingly bowing in worship.
The roar echoed, with a different tone.
However, Chen Feng could hear the meaning of pleading for mercy.
"?"
A Fifth-tier creature, and it possesses a relatively strong human-like thought process.
The cold red glow of Glass Steel eyes intertwined, and Chen Feng slightly furrowed his brows, pondering whether to kill it.
"Sha!!"
As if sensing Chen Feng's cold intent, the Octopus Giant Beast hurriedly roared, expressing loyalty.
"Willing to become my Favored?"
Raising an eyebrow slightly, Chen Feng roughly understood its meaning, somewhat surprised.
Moreover, empty words are unreliable, how could he easily trust the promise of such a monster?
"Sha!!"
Roaring once more, the Octopus Giant Beast truly fulfilled its promise.
Buzz!!
Its eerie green eyes blinked, and in the next second, under Chen Feng's cautious perception, a fist-sized soul flame appeared before him.
Clearly underwater, yet this flame appeared so impossibly, without any signs of being extinguished.
In an instant, as Chen Feng was puzzled.
Panel prompts emerged.
[You have discovered a Soul Fire—loyalty from the Deep Sea Creature]
[Deep Sea Creature: One of the rulers of the Deep Sea, a special Star Realm Creature]
[Function: Capturing the Soul Fire allows leaving a life imprint, controlling its life and death]
Various pieces of information came into view, and Chen Feng did not expect this Octopus Giant Beast to be so genuine.
Handing over control of its life and death to him?
The thought flashed, and he saw the eerie green eyes looking at him, seemingly still a bit fearful.
After pondering for a moment, he finally absorbed the Soul Fire before him.
Buzz!!
In an instant, a myriad of memories flooded in.
Born alone from an oceanic nest, not knowing parents, with no kin.
Only the true name of 'Jia Ta' was fixed in its heart, accompanying its growth.
The ocean was vast and boundless, and it grew in solitude day after day.
Hunting, satiating hunger, hiding everywhere.
Fighting, fleeing, licking wounds.
Powerful humans sailed over the sea, and even more gigantic terrifying creatures swam in the water.
It hid in the depths out of fear, hoping for a place of its own, with no enemies, no troubles, where it could continue surviving in solitude.
Second Order, Third Rank, Fourth Rank...
As it continued to grow, an undercurrent emerged near the ocean, and it unexpectedly discovered a deep-sea passage.
At last, sunlight shone in.
On a deserted island, its dream was fulfilled, and it silently broke through to the Fifth Rank.
"Jia Ta...."
Chen Feng murmured, his expression dazed, feeling his head swell uncomfortably.
The immense and countless memories of a Fifth-tier creature were beyond imagination, and only because he had now opened the Divine Soul, strengthening his will.
Otherwise, he might truly be unable to receive this information.
"Sha!!"
As if responding to his earlier murmur, the Octopus Giant Beast named Jia Ta quickly craned its head forward, answering.
Its enormous eyes rolled, matching Chen Feng's size exactly.
As their eyes met, Chen Feng keenly noticed an additional pattern on his left upper arm.
It was Jia Ta shrunken many times over, like a tattoo, yet it could communicate with the soul, regardless of distance.
Through his will, he could even destroy its soul, turning it into a dead one.
"No wonder, this is the Realm of the Dead."
Chen Feng whispered, while Jia Ta amiably raised its tentacle, nudging his palm.
Feeling its unease, Chen Feng did not overly threaten it.
Instructing it to move, he and the Holy Shield Giant were soon lifted to the surface.
The green-black carapace gradually dissipated, as sunlight fell upon them.
Chen Feng looked at the empty lake surface, inquiring Jia Ta about the Talent Light Group.
"Sha?"
The human-sized eerie green eyes were filled with confusion, as if asking, what are you talking about?
"As expected."
Confirmed, Chen Feng previously thought it was the cause of the light group's disappearance.
But now it seems, this so-called light group could indeed only be seen by him alone.
Shaking his head, he pondered where the problem lay.
Soon, Jia Ta informed him of a piece of information.
The creature attacked him only because it feared its lake being usurped, thinking this was its territory.
Besides that....
"Storm?"
Frowning slightly, Chen Feng looked up at the sky.
Jia Ta informed him, that every once in a while, clouds would gather above the lake, with lightning and thunder.
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng's eyes flickered, recalling the scene when he first saw the Talent Light Group.
At that time, while intercepting Adler near here, the weather on Falling Eagle Island was sunny and beautiful.
Only when he was about to leave did clouds suddenly appear, with lightning and thunder.
Only then did he see the Talent Light Group.
And just now.
Under the dark clouds, the light group floated.
As the clouds and thunder dispersed, the light group vanished into a mirage.
"I see."
Chen Feng looked up at the clear sky, finally turning his gaze towards the calm lake water before him.
