There were six grilled sea fish left, and there were exactly three for each of them.

After a full meal, Bick laid on the double bed and basked in the sun, satisfied. He planned to rest well first before continue working.

However, after laying down for less than a minute, he vaguely felt that something was moving near his raft.

A low noise came from below the raft. He could not tell what it was, but it annoyed Bick.

At this moment, Einstein seemed to have noticed something and began to call out “ou ou” uneasily.

Bick opened his eyes and was no longer sleepy.

However, he searched around his raft and did not find anything unusual. It was just that the faint sound seemed to be getting closer and closer.

“Strange, could it be under the raft?”

While Bick was pondering in puzzlement, the raft suddenly shook, as if it had been hit by something.

“Sharks?”

Previously, sharks attacked the raft from the water surface. However, it was hard to say as these sharks might have changed their attack methods.

Realizing that he was in danger, Bick immediately took out a spear made of sharp shark teeth.

“Didn’t I say that I have the water elemental affinity? I should have no problem fighting underwater!”

Bick muttered to himself and directly jumped off the raft.

In the surging seawater, Bick felt his body was abnormally free, as if he could move freely in the seawater like he was on land.

Previously, he had already felt the effect of signing up had strengthen his physique. At that time, he could freely move underwater.

However, this time was different from before. His movement speed was faster, and his movements were more agile. It seemed that his ability to hold his breath had also become much better.

As he sank deeper into the sea, he finally saw the culprit who attacked his raft.

It was a long and narrow brachial foot. The brachial foot was filled with neat suction cups. Looking down along the brachial foot, Bick saw a huge octopus that was more than two people tall!

“F*ck! So it’s an octopus. People said that this thing is very smart. I’m afraid it’s not easy to deal with!”

Soon, Bick figured out the octopus’s plan.

The reason it kept attacking the raft with its brachiopods was to attract his attention. In its opinion, creatures living above the water surface would find it difficult to defeat it underwater.

Perhaps this big fellow had already used this method to eat some of the survivors who had jumped off the raft out of curiosity or anger, but he was different from them.

His body, which had already been strengthened, now had the water elemental affinity.

Below the water surface, his strength might be even stronger.

At this moment, the big octopus shook its limbs and sank a distance further. Bick knew that it was showing weakness to lure him.

“It’s nothing!”

Bick did not care about what the octopus was planning next and directly swam down.

After sinking five to six meters deep, the octopus did not show weakness like before and suddenly rushed up to the water surface.

Its goal was not to escape to the surface of the water, but to block the path for Bick to leave the water surface.

“So you were waiting for me here!”

Bick did not care at all. The eight huge limbs above his head had already closed in on him. However, Bick used a little strength and sank three to four meters. His speed was actually faster than an octopus.

The octopus saw that it had missed and hurriedly chased after him. However, as soon as it got close, Bick suddenly waved the spiked spear and slashed at one of its limbs.

The big octopus suddenly twitched, and a large part of its limb was already broken.

However, this did not make the big octopus retreated. Instead, it launched an even more furious attack, and its momentum became even more aggresive.

Bick sneered in his heart. He was not afraid of its ruthlessness, but he was afraid that it would escape.

If such a big octopus was roasted and eaten, it would definitely taste very good!

“I will definitely eat you today!”

Bick suddenly jumped and charged towards the big octopus mouth. This reaction was far beyond the octopus’s expectations. It suddenly retracted its limbs and wanted to entangle Bick.

However, Bic suddenly stabbed into its mouth, and the spiked spear directly stabbed into the big octopus mouth.

In an instant, the body of the big octopus twitched.

It finally realized that it had encountered a powerful prey. In order not to hurt its own head, it suddenly spat out a black ink. At the same time, it quickly shook its limbs, wanting to escape.

“You want to run?”

Bick sneered. The moment the spiked spear twitched, it suddenly swept across.

Half of the big octopus’s remaining seven limbs were broken in an instant, and its speed suddenly decreased.

Bick quickly caught up and stabbed again. This time, the big octopus brain was almost pierced by the spear. It trembled a few times stiffly and could no longer move. It could be considered dead.

“Perfect!”

Bick twitched the spear and used his hand to grab the octopus limbs. He swam down and found the three severed limbs before slowly swimming to the side of the raft.

Plop!

The giant octopus body was thrown onto the raft. Then, Bick climbed up and began to process his spoils of war.

[You have obtained octopus limbs x6!]

[You have obtained octopus tooth x1!]

[You have obtained octopus eye x2!]

Bick had not expected that the octopus corpse would actually be able to disintegrate into the octopus tooth and octopus eye. He thought to himself, these two items could not be eaten. Could they be some sort of special material?

He quickly headed to the God’s domain slate. Bick wanted to find out if he had unlocked a new schematic diagram.

When he opened the principle interface, a new schematic diagram appeared.

[Octopus soul magic staff]

[Level: high quality]

[Explanation: A magic staff that can be used for a limited number of times. It can be used for a total of three times. It can summon the soul of an octopus and attack the target with powerful magic attacks. However, it will consume the user’s mental strength!]

“It will consume mental strength… but if it is powerful, it will be worth it!”

Bick quickly checked the manufacturing principle of this thing.

[Octopus soul magic staff: Mana crystal (0/3), wooden board (2/2), octopus tooth (1/1), octopus eye (2/2), blood drop (0/3)]

Looking at the materials needed to make the octopus soul magic staff, the corner of Bick’s mouth twitched.

Three mana crystals…

He didn’t even have a single mana crystal now, how could he make it.

And what was a blood drop? Could it be three drops of his own blood?

This was still acceptable. After all, it was only three drops of blood, so it wasn’t a big problem.

“Looks like I have to think of a way to get a large number of mana crystals. In the future, the demand for this thing will probably be greater and greater.”

Thinking of this, Bick felt a little depressed.

Even if he used the material divination compass to search for mana crystals, it would take him at least three days to gather them.

It seemed that he had to think of other ways.

It was necessary to raise the price and continue to buy in the trading interface. As long as the price was high enough, he believed that he would be able to exchange for some mana crystals.

In that case… he would first roast the octopus ball set and hang it on the trading interface!

Bick’s gaze fell on the huge octopus limbs…
