Although the little octopus is a bad fighter. His movements are quite agile and swift. At this moment, Yuan Ye felt a sudden emptiness in his chest, and a numbing sensation, like an electric current, surged from his chest all the way down to his ankles.
If one were to peel off the youth’s clothes right now, one would see that his skin was noticeably flushed with a thin layer of red, going down from his chest, perfectly overlapping with the path that the little octopus had just dashed down.
Fortunately, the pain from the wound is intense enough, and the current situation is dire enough. Moreover, that little creature is not human after all, just having a similar texture to human skin.
As a result, Yuan Ye’s reaction is not as intense and uncontrollable as it used to be, to the extent of showing extremely aggressive behavior towards the contact objects, leading to irreparable consequences and bloodshed.
So at this moment, his movements only briefly showed a barely noticeable stiffness before quickly returning to normal.
Yuan Ye realizes that the small creature that was quietly nestled on his chest has departed, seemingly having taken something from him. And perhaps, from the beginning, the other party’s intention in helping him stop the bleeding was for that specific item.
Yuan Ye doesn’t mind, as he doesn’t have anything valuable on him, anyway.
Moreover, he feels that it is only logical for the little creature to choose this moment to leave. After all, seeking good fortune and avoiding danger is the instinct of living beings.
Indeed, moments like the one just now, where the other party suddenly came running to help him stop the bleeding, are truly incredible.
Perhaps it realized that he wasn’t as powerful as it had imagined and couldn’t defeat all the otherworldly creatures to protect it. So, before falling into a hopeless situation, it found an opportunity to quietly slip away.
A very reasonable judgment.
However, Yuan Ye doesn’t harbor much resentment or anger. He simply let out a soft sigh in his heart.
—So smart.
The young man struggled to resist the crazy attacks from the otherworldly creatures. In the middle of a fierce battle, he finally found a little gap with difficulty and managed to glance in the direction where the small creature had departed.
In that instant, the young man’s calm and almost indifferent expression suddenly froze.
Because what he saw was not the back of the little octopus hurriedly escaping, but the scene of the little guy aggressively advancing and slashing at the little monster with a knife.
Yuan Ye’s mind goes blank for a moment.
It… was helping him?
No—
They seemed more like… fighting side by side.
This concept is so unfamiliar to Yuan Ye that it takes him quite some time to retrieve it from the depths of his mind.
However, the little octopus’s posture was indeed handsome and full of momentum, but the knife was still too heavy for it. Coupled with the pressure and resistance of the seabed, it was difficult for Ye Yunfan to accurately control the landing point of the blade.
Bang!
The blade grazes past the side of the round, fleshy little monster, landing heavily on the sandy ground, with half of the blade embedded in it.
Ye Yunfan’s knife chopped an empty air, and he and the little monster locked eyes, both freezing in place simultaneously.
The next second, both of them came to their senses at the same time.
Without hesitation, the little octopus turned and ran. Meanwhile, the ugly, round, fleshy little monster lets out a sinister laugh and lunges forward, attempting to bite.
[Ahhh! So scary!]
[So scary! So scary!]
[How can she be so ugly?]
[She’s so ugly, so ugly!]
The little tentacles were terrified, squealing in fear, and unable to stop themselves from making disparaging comments.

Ye Yunfan ran, he crawled and rolled in a very desperate situation, so he was too preoccupied to respond.

After a brief moment of consideration, the little octopus is certain that it cannot win the fight and decisively chooses to flee.
Yuan Ye watched the entire scene unfold, and the lingering peculiarity in his heart earlier had now completely vanished without a trace.
—So stupid.
He thought.
However, Ye Yunfan didn’t just run away. After all, he swam faster than the little monster. Once he had created enough distance, he swiftly turned around and pulled out his big knife, valiantly and spiritedly charging forward once again.
[Charge! Kill!]
[Cut it off! Cut it off!]
[Eat her! Eat her!]
The little tentacles screamed repeatedly, at times filled with excitement, waving flags and shouting battle cries, and at other times panicking and crying out in distress as if their bottoms were on fire.
[Run fast, run fast!]
[Ahhh, we’re going to be eaten!]
[Help, help! We’re going to be eaten!]
For a moment, the little octopus and the grotesque fleshy ball engaged in a fierce back-and-forth battle. One was fleeing in a hurry while the other was pursuing with frustration and anger, as if it were an exhilarating martial arts showdown.
Yuan Ye was truly witnessing an indescribable battle scene for the first time. Even by his standards, this couldn’t be considered a real fight; at most, it resembled children’s play.
However, the grotesque fleshy ball had a much larger size and greater strength than the little octopus. Its sharp teeth came dangerously close to biting Ye Yunfan in half several times.
Ye Yunfan was panting heavily, almost half-dead from exhaustion. He realized that he had underestimated the difficulty of killing the little monster and had greatly overestimated his own combat prowess.
Back when Ye Yunfan was still human, the bloodiest thing he had ever done was kill a chicken. But this creature was much more difficult to kill compared to a chicken.
But time was tight, and he had to fight fast and think fast.
Ye Yunfan was well aware of the current situation. He speculated that the little monster could control and command the group of larger monsters and possessed a certain level of intelligence.
Just now, he appeared too suddenly, and he himself also had a certain attraction to the little monster, so the other then got into a fight with him.
However, if the battle dragged on for too long and the opponent couldn’t take him down, there would certainly be unforeseen circumstances.
If he would wait for the little monster above to react and summon larger monsters, Ye Yunfan would be dead by then, and not even a scum would be left.
The little octopus scanned the surroundings and suddenly noticed the small crevice in the rocks where the little monster had been hiding earlier.
The crevice could barely be considered a passage, with a wider opening on the outside and a narrow interior. The narrowest part was barely the size of a human finger.
The little octopus immediately thought of a strategy. He swung his knife, causing the little monster to dodge, and then swiftly turned his head and scurried towards the crevice in the rocks.
However, halfway through the escape, Ye Yunfan suddenly noticed that it was too quiet behind him. He turned around and realized that the grotesque fleshy ball was not chasing after him.
The opponent stood cautiously in place. Its protruding, murky eyeballs rolled around as if it had sensed that something was amiss.
Without any reason, Ye Yunfan’s first instinct was that the opponent had sensed the possible trap and was cautiously planning to summon the larger monsters for assistance.
In the instant that this thought flashed through Ye Yunfan’s mind, he saw those eyeballs pause for a moment, as if they had come to a conclusion and suddenly turned towards the group of larger monsters not far away.
Ye Yunfan’s heart skipped a beat in fear.
Despicable! This ugly little monster has no martial virtues! It can’t beat him, so it summoned people!
But if this little monster really managed to summon those larger monsters, Ye Yunfan would undoubtedly be devoured, to the point where no scraps were left.
So at this moment, the little octopus made a bold move. It extended one of his small tentacles and forcefully scraped it against the blade.
[Health Value -1]
As the notification panel appeared, a bright line of crimson blood appeared on the small tentacle, immediately dispersing into the seawater and drifting towards the direction of the little monster along the water current.
In that instant, all the eyeballs on the little monster’s body began to tremble violently. It was as if they had taken some kind of drug and became insanely excited.
The next second, it immediately disregarded everything and charged toward Ye Yunfan in a frenzy.
Its speed was almost twice as fast as before!
The prepared little octopus immediately darted out, dragging the big knife with him. He quickly rushed towards the crevice in the rock, threw the knife aside, and slipped inside like liquid.
Bang!!!
The little monster that followed closely behind also plunged in, but its head was too big. With its rapid charge, it got stuck in the narrowest part of the crevice.
Meanwhile, Ye Yunfan had smoothly emerged from the tiny hole, which was as small as a fingertip.
Sure enough, creatures like octopuses are like liquid.
He didn’t stop, almost racing against time, turned back and picked up the big knife that he had just thrown aside in the crevice.
Ye Yunfan looked at the small monster, which was struggling frantically but unable to move. He aimed both his gaze and the tip of the knife at the area just below its wriggling tail.
He! Hehehe!!!
The smile in the little octopus’s heart gradually widened.
He took several steps back, gathering his strength, and then swiftly lunged forward, aiming directly at his target.
Stab—
The blade pierced directly halfway through.
In that instant, the body of the small monster convulsed violently, and all of its eyes turned red.
The otherworldly creatures that were besieging Yuan Ye in the distance, as well as the ones that were ramming the lighthouse, all froze for a moment. The next second, they changed direction and went crazy, charging toward the seabed.
Ye Yunfan looked up, and his field of vision was almost completely occupied by the bizarre and terrifying black shadows. Countless crimson dots lit up, densely packed together, resembling a gathering school of piranhas.
Even Yuan Ye felt a chill at this sight. He immediately turned over and dived, but the swimming speed of a human was really limited. It was too slow.
Damn it!
Yuan Ye’s eyes suddenly turned gloomy.
On the other side, Ye Yunfan’s heart was pounding as he found himself surrounded, but in such a nearly desperate situation, his head was simply terrifyingly calm.
He only glanced upward and then immediately withdrew his gaze and quickly swam towards the side of the crazily struggling little monster.
At that moment, the voices of the little tentacles became extremely excited, penetrating, even carrying a bewitching effect.
[Eat her!]
[Eat her!]
[Eat her!]
The next second, Ye Yunfan no longer hesitated and directly stabbed several tentacles into the creatures’ eyes.
Familiar data panels began to appear one after another—
[Stamina Value +20]
[Health Value +30]
[Stamina Value +20]
[Health Value +30]
……
[Reminder: Huge energy intake detected, stamina value limit +200, health value limit +120]
[Stamina Value: 305/305]
[Health Value: 140/420]
The small monster struggled frantically, roaring in pain, and its body visibly shriveled in this moment.
Not good!!!
Ye Yunfan was suddenly startled and immediately retracted his tentacles and withdrew.
The small monster, which was originally stuck in the entrance of the crevice due to its large size, its body now shriveled up, gained a fortune in a disaster and managed to break in and shake off the knife stuck to its body.
Perhaps because it was on the brink of life and death, the small monster turned its head and lunged at an astonishing speed, several times faster than before. If Ye Yunfan had not retained some rationality, he would have been overwhelmed by the satisfaction of eating.
Therefore, he was able to detect the anomaly in advance, otherwise, he would have been torn into pieces by the creature.
But even so, the little octopus, who narrowly avoided a fatal blow, was still injured. A deep gash was torn open on his body, causing his recently filled-up health value to plummet instantly.
[Health Value -20]
But this is just the beginning of a life and death-crisis, as the next moment, an even more ferocious attack immediately follows.
Ye Yunfan reacted quickly. He immediately crouched down, picking up the fallen knife and using it to block the small monster’s mouth.
Click——
The knife was bitten into pieces right away.
The little octopus didn’t even have time to be startled. He immediately turned his head, trying to escape at the fastest speed possible, but the surroundings were already blocked off, leaving him with nowhere to run!
What to do? There’s no way to escape…
In that instant, intense pain overwhelmed Ye Yunfan’s mind even before despair could fully set in. Due to his momentary distraction, the small monster behind him seized the opportunity and ruthlessly bit him.
The sharp teeth almost pierced through the body of the little octopus, causing all its tiny tentacles to immediately curl up and spasm in pain. This pain was even more excruciating than being pierced by a piece of glass earlier because they couldn’t even make a single cry of pain.
[Health Value -100]
[Reminder: You are now in a severe state of blood loss. Every minute the health value will be -5. Please seek immediate medical treatment!]
Realizing the urgency of the situation, the prompt now emphasizes not just seeking treatment as soon as possible, but rather seeking immediate treatment.
Ye Yunfan didn’t struggle immediately, as doing so would only result in the creature tearing him apart a second earlier. Instead, he wanted to wait for the moment when the creature would chew, looking for an opportunity to escape.
But he knew very well that the odds of success were undoubtedly close to zero. At this very moment, it seemed that besides death, there was no other choice.
At this moment, a faint white light emerged amidst the dense crimson surroundings.
Ye Yunfan’s pupils dilated, and his heart felt like it was about to leap out of his chest.
No, it’s not a white light.
—It turned out to be Yuan Ye’s knife!
In the blink of an eye, that faint white light transformed from a dot into a line, swiftly approaching.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Wherever it passed, huge blood blossoms would explode one after another!
One cluster after another, it was like the most magnificent display of blood-colored fireworks.
