Giant Fish Survival: I Can Hear the Giant Fish's Heart

Although the large tentacles attacked suddenly, with Zhou Wen's current attribute panel, the attack speed of the tentacles was not fast in his eyes. Although it was not slow motion, there was still enough time to react.

Zhou Wen immediately stopped, and with a thought, the yellow ribbonfish scale armor with blade fins appeared on his body. He gripped the steel longsword with both hands and then swung it upwards with force.

A gust of wind descended, and the large tentacle fell, but at the moment it made contact with the upward-swung steel blade, the skin of the large tentacle burst instantly, like a balloon hitting a spike.

Then, the blade of the steel dagger easily sliced ​​through the entire large tentacle, leaving a smooth, mirror-like cut, the process as silky as silk.

However, the severed tentacle was about to hit Zhou Wen due to gravity, but at the moment the severed tentacle made contact with Zhou Wen's body, it turned into a huge blue light and flew into the system interface.

"Roar!" A deafening roar rang out from the darkness ahead, and then the entire cave trembled.

Zhou Wen strapped a powerful headlamp to his head, and the dazzling white light shone into the depths of the cave. In the air, the light from the headlamp could reach a distance of more than ten meters.

Ahead, waves surged and rose higher and higher with immense force, eventually reaching a height of five or six meters. Behind the waves, thick tentacles writhed wildly, like giant pythons churning and thrashing.

Zhou Wen temporarily sheathed his steel longsword, and wearing the yellow-scaled armor with blade fins, he stood like a rock, unmoved even as waves crashed against him.

Finally, the large-mouthed octopus came into the light's range, and Zhou Wen could see its full appearance. Its overall shape was not much different from the large-mouthed octopus that Zhou Wen had killed before, except that it was much larger.

Moreover, there was a huge wound on its head, a bloody mess, as if it had been caused by a violent collision with a rock, and the wound was still bleeding profusely.

Zhou Wen didn't even need to guess who caused the wound; it must have been Chen Xin's Leviathan illusion. When it was entangled by the octopus tentacles, it swooped down and crashed into an underwater reef in an attempt to break free.

Zhou Wen's Leviathan form had done something similar before. When it was entangled by the body of the razorfin ribbonfish, it must have done the same thing. It even dared to leap out of the water and slam the surface with its body weight, leaving the razorfin ribbonfish completely disoriented.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~." Several thick tentacles, accompanied by the sound of wind breaking, swept heavily towards Zhou Wen, forming a pincer movement from the top, bottom, left, and right.

Zhou Wen certainly wouldn't take these tentacles head-on. The power of the tentacles was extraordinary; even if he didn't die from being hit, he would suffer internal injuries.

With a flick of his hand, a large number of stone blocks fell down, and three tentacles were caught off guard and smashed to the ground by the stone blocks.

The steel longsword reappeared in his hands, and he swung it at the remaining tentacle. The only tentacle that reached Zhou Wen was also severed, and the severed tentacle turned into blue light and was absorbed into the world system, which was then sent to Jiang Haitao.

The three tentacles, which had been pinned down by a large number of stone blocks, twisted wildly a few times before pulling themselves out from under the blocks and breaking free of their restraints.

Zhou Wen stopped waiting idly for the tentacles to attack and instead put away his blade fins and yellowtail scales, charging forward. The water ahead was filled with stone pillars, so Zhou Wen could step on the submerged stone pillars, and his speed was no longer limited by the seawater.

The five free attribute points of the [Pioneer] constantly fluctuate between the two attributes of strength and speed.

Zhou Wen rushed to a tentacle with incredible speed, and then his steel longsword instantly appeared in his hands. With a flick of his wrist, he effortlessly sliced ​​the tentacle open and put it back into his equipment slot.

This process was repeated more than ten times. Amidst its constant, agonizing roars, the giant octopus lost all its tentacles, leaving only its massive, ten-meter-long mouth filled with sharp teeth, which continued to open and close.

Zhou Wen climbed onto its body and then, through the wound on its head, frantically slashed with his long steel fang knife, eventually destroying its brain and killing the 30-meter-long giant-mouthed octopus.

After watching Zhou Wen's entire battle, Chen Xin was completely shocked. Only then did she realize how strong Zhou Wen was and understand the true use of the equipment slots.

"Mr. Zhou, you're amazing!"

Zhou Wen returned to the spot where the White Scale Armor had fallen earlier, and quickly equipped all eight pieces through the equipment slot. Chen Xin also rushed up, gave him a thumbs up, and praised him loudly.

"You saw the battle, and you know how to use the equipment slots. But don't follow my example. I only dared to do this because I have good weapons. When you fight, you should prioritize stability and keep some trump cards up your sleeve."

Zhou Wen certainly wouldn't presume to let Chen Xin learn from him. He had a clear understanding of his current strength. The reason he was able to kill the giant octopus so quickly was almost entirely due to his sharp steel blade; otherwise, the battle would have been extremely difficult.

"Yes, yes, yes! Thank you for the combat guidance, Boss Zhou!" Chen Xin nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, speaking very earnestly.

"Um... Okay boss... that... black longsword, how... can I get it?" While Zhou Wen was fighting, Chen Xin also noticed the steel longsword. It was incredibly sharp, and the tentacles of the giant octopus almost broke off when they touched it.

"You can't get it no matter what you do. I only have one myself," Zhou Wen said, shaking his head.

"Then... what about the other slender knife? That one is also very sharp. There should be blueprints for it, right?" Chen Xin asked again.

"No, I only have one steel knife, and I can't even fix it if it breaks." Zhou Wen shook his head again.

"Alright..." Since neither of the two fine knives had blueprints, Chen Xin could only accept reality.

"Hurry up and trade back the second equipment slot. I'll give you a weapon that matches the Yellowfin Scale Armor." Zhou Wen said as he walked towards the large-mouthed octopus corpse, then sent the corpse to Jiang Haitao with a thought.

"Really!" Chen Xin's eyes lit up, and she quickly followed up with the question.

"Of course, there are blueprints for that weapon, but it's too heavy and the blade isn't well-proportioned. With your current strength, you can only keep it in your equipment inventory as a trump card."

"Moreover, there are usually supply boxes inside these caves, and you might even find a good weapon blueprint." Zhou Wen led Chen Xin deeper into the cave.

Soon, at the end of the cave, a silver-rimmed supply box came into view. Chen Xin excitedly ran forward, but instead of opening it, she gestured for Zhou Wen to open it.

Zhou Wen smiled and nodded, then stepped forward and opened the silver-rimmed supply box.
