Swish—
The long knife instantly impaled the body of the little monster.
And the latter finally loosens its mouth at the moment of pain. Ye Yunfan immediately seized the opportunity, painfully pulling out his bitten body and escaping quickly.
The little monster had no tongue in its mouth, and its teeth were not arranged like a typical human or animal with upper and lower rows. Instead, they were spiraled and stacked layer upon layer.
It was incredibly intelligent. Ever since it discovered that Ye Yunfan’s tentacles could serve as a means to devour itself, it deliberately chose the angle when it bit him earlier. Using its dense, sharp teeth to pierce through and nail securely all the little octopus’s tentacles.
All of this happened in a blink of an eye. The long knife, with undiminished force, impaled the entire body of the little monster and directly nailed it to the massive rock behind it.
At this moment, Ye Yunfan suddenly stopped his fleeing footsteps.

Little Octopus: !!!
As he looked at his rapidly dwindling health value, he immediately wanted to seize the opportunity to regain some health. However, before he could make a move, an intense sense of danger surged directly in his head.
The little octopus suddenly froze in place, his pupils dilating.
Several white lines crisscrossed around the point where the blade had pierced. The body of the frantically struggling little monster suddenly froze.
The next second, its body seemed to have transformed into a neatly sliced ice cream cake, sliding off piece by piece.
Drifting away with the turbulent seawater.
Dead…
The ugly little monster is dead.
The little octopus closest to it confirmed this with his own eyes.
Ye Yunfan was suddenly stunned.
Once again, he had a profound understanding of the monstrously powerful young man.
Fuck…
This power is simply…terrifying!!!
And at that moment, Ye Yunfan heard countless monstrous and painful roars coming from above.
The noise was too loud and piercing, causing the little octopus to instantly fold its ears against its head.
He looked up and saw that several monsters in the group had their heads exploding, while the rest either started devouring and tearing apart their companions or continued attacking the lighthouse. Some even fled directly?!
Ye Yunfan quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that his guess was indeed correct.
—These monsters are indeed being commanded by the little monster.
He speculated that this method of command was different from the verbal communication used by human armies. It seemed that they relied on some kind of… more mysterious and strange way.
Similar to consciousness, it appeared that the collective consciousness was unified into the consciousness of the commander by some kind of force.
And now that the consciousness of the commander has been extinguished, the unified collective consciousness would naturally collapse, becoming countless individual consciousnesses.
Individual consciousness naturally prioritizes individual desires and self-preservation as the primary motivators for action, which leads to divergent choices among the monsters…
Ye Yunfan had already speculated this in his head. His previous job as a game planner had exposed him to a lot of similar concepts, but this speculation was only limited to fantasy and lacked any substantial evidence to support it.
The scene was too chaotic at the moment, and Ye Yunfan couldn’t find Yuan Ye’s figure for a while.
But that guy is so strong, he should be able to hold on a little longer.
Random thoughts flashed through his mind, but the little octopus didn’t think much anymore and directly pounced on the nearest chunk of meat like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.
The most important thing is to eat quickly!

The taste of this eyeball is a little unusual.
And then the next second, new content appeared on the floating notification panel.
[Mental Power +10]
[Mental Power: 107+8×5]
Huh?
Ye Yunfan’s mind suddenly felt much clearer, and his perception of the surrounding environment became slightly sharper than before.
It was this slight improvement that made the little octopus suddenly sense Yuan Ye, who was not far away.
Perhaps it was the decisive blow just now that made the monsters realize the strength and danger of this tiny human. That’s why Yuan Ye was able to come over without any obstruction.
However, at this moment, the young man looked extremely embarrassed. His originally pristine white shirt was almost entirely stained pink with blood and seawater. There was a deep wound on his left arm, visible down to the bone, extending from the elbow to the wrist, with the flesh curled up. It was a horrifying sight to see.
And behind him, closer to the sea surface, bursts of fire suddenly erupted one after another.
Rumble—!
The seawater transmitted the loud sound of explosions, as well as the muffled sound of firing bullets.
Ye Yunfan immediately understood. It must have been their support that had arrived.
However, this “their” does not include him, who is no longer human now.
The remaining fragments of the little monsters were washed away by the surging seawater. They had scattered in all directions, already floating in the far distance.
[More! More!]
[Eat! Eat!!!]
[Faster! Faster!]
The little tentacles urged anxiously.
However, after careful consideration, Ye Yunfan managed to suppress his instincts with difficulty and gave up on chasing after the remaining prey. Instead, he quickly squeezed into the narrow crevice deep within the rocks, activating his camouflage skill. His skin color almost seamlessly blends in with the rocks.
Because at this moment, Ye Yunfan also saw armed personnel diving into the water one after another. There seemed to be a large ship and several small yachts on the sea surface as well.
Ye Yunfan knew that he was of a different species, and the humans in this world clearly despised those monsters. He had no confidence that if humans discovered him, a creature who could devour monsters and had human intelligence, they would treat him without any prejudice or discrimination.
Human curiosity is too strong, and this curiosity is often accompanied by a desire to explore, and delving a little deeper leads to research.
Ye Yunfan couldn’t help but think of those various cruel experiments involving dissection. Therefore, he believed that the most cautious and safest choice for now was to hide.
He must stay alive!
Just as the little octopus curled up into the smallest possible form, holding its breath and tightly huddling, Yuan Ye finally swam near the rocks.
He extended his right hand, seemingly exhausted. And the process of pulling out the long knife appeared to be somewhat difficult for him.
Snap—
The young man’s heterochromatic eyes glanced around casually, and in the next moment, he casually stabbed his knife to the side.
[Ahhhh!]
[We’re going to die! We’re going to die!]
The little tentacles screamed in fear.
Swish!
The blade narrowly grazed the head of the little octopus. If he had any hair, it would have surely been shaved off into a Mediterranean-style haircut.
Ye Yunfan: !!!
Holy shit!
How did this guy find me?!!
The little octopus was unable to figure it out despite much thinking. However, at this moment, he still held onto the hope that Yuan Ye was just deceiving him.
So Ye Yunfan buried his head, pretending to be an ostrich, while the eight little tentacles trembled as they huddled around his head.
However, in the next second, the expressionless young boy drew out his long knife again, aiming it at Ye Yunfan’s position, as if he was about to strike once more.
The little octopus made a quick decision and rolled out, revealing its true form, prostrating and falling flat on the ground, flattened into a thin pink pancake.
In this scene, Ye Yunfan resembled the demon in Journey to the West, who was about to be struck down by Sun Wukong. He was just one step away from shouting—
Great Sage, spare my life!
At this moment, Yuan Ye looked at the little pink guy in front of him, which had almost flattened into a piece of dough. The corners of his mouth silently curved up, forming a barely noticeable shallow arc.
He put his long knife back into the scabbard and then tore off his tattered cloak. Without saying a word, he silently bundled up the little octopus and carried it away.
Ye Yunfan: “……”
For a brief moment, he felt like a virtuous maiden forcefully taken by a local tyrant in the village.
Ten minutes later—
Splash!
Yuan Ye emerged from the sea surface.
Ye Yunfan cautiously poked his head out from under the cloak and looked outside. It was only then that he realized the storm had stopped at some point, and the horizon was already turning white.
Then, the little octopus shifted its gaze and looked at Yuan Ye. The latter shook his wet hair and used his hand to wipe away the dripping hair strands from his forehead to the back, revealing his facial features.
After the sudden change in hairstyle, the young man’s originally cold and handsome face suddenly gained a sharp and dangerous edge. In the morning sunlight, his heterochromatic eyes appeared even more beautiful.
However, the pale color of his lips was quite discordant, adding a touch of delicateness and weakness to his appearance.
Ye Yunfan stared at him for a long time and suddenly felt that even the most top-tier cool and beautiful boys in show manga probably couldn’t compare to him.
Yuan Ye did not choose to return to the lighthouse, but instead moved away from the battlefield. Support from the special investigation team had arrived, and they would take over the subsequent cleanup operations.
With the king creature’s death, the remaining cleanup work would not be too difficult.
“Officer—”
A crisp and sunny voice could be heard from a distance, growing closer. The familiar sound made Ye Yunfan turn around, only to find that it was the new recruit named Jon.
Perhaps due to his youthful demeanor, seventeen-year-old Jon appeared much younger than Yuan Ye. He had a Caucasian face, with flaxen curly hair and a few adorable little freckles on his nose.
Jon puffed hard as he paddled the small boat over, his face filled with both excitement and nervousness. He waved vigorously at Yuan Ye and called out with a mix of reverence and stuttering.
“O… Officer, hello!”
Because Yuan Ye had demonstrated supernatural abilities, it was evident that his identity was a gifted person. However, Jon couldn’t quite determine whether Yuan Ye belonged to the royal court guards or was a high-ranking decontamination officer. Therefore, he chose the safest option and addressed him as “officer”.
“Captain sent me to pick you up.”
As he spoke, Jon’s gaze involuntarily fell on the black collar around the youth’s neck.
—That’s a limiter device.
It is said that this device is specifically designed for gifted people who possess immense power and are prone to losing control. The existence of this device further confirms Yuan Ye’s strength and identity.
In an era where combat power can be directly linked to social status and even survival, almost everyone has a desire to become stronger.
Jon was no exception.
He nervously reached out his hand towards Yuan Ye.
“Officer, I-I-I… let me help you up.”
Jon looked at the formidable and powerful officer before him, feeling like a fan meeting their idol. He was so excited that he didn’t know what to say.
However, at that moment, he suddenly froze, his gaze fixated on the junction of Yuan Ye’s neck and shoulder. There were several noticeable light pink marks, they look a bit like marks from being sucked and they trailed down to his collarbone.
If Jon hadn’t witnessed the incredibly thrilling battle that took place last night, he might have thought that the powerful, gifted person before him had experienced a romantic and passionate encounter.
Yuan Ye noticed the others’ gaze. He gave him a cold, piercing look. This immediately frightened the new recruit, causing him to almost stumble and fall into the sea.
Yuan Ye ignored Jon’s outstretched hand. He swiftly used his right hand to push himself up and get onto the boat with a single hand.
Perhaps due to his severe injuries, his movements didn’t appear as agile. As he got onto the boat, the little octopus that had been peeking out from under his cloak slipped out due to the sudden rotation.
Plop!
Ye Yunfan fell into the water, and the smell of freedom immediately engulfed him from all directions.
For a brief moment, he truly wanted to turn around and run away.
However, unsurprisingly, Ye Yunfan witnessed a familiar scene once again.
—Yuan Ye drawing his sword.
Holy shit!
Holy shit!!!
Ye Yunfan immediately emerged from the water, scrambling and swimming towards the small boat as fast as he could.
The little tentacles were so frightened that they let out a series of high-pitched screams—
[Ahhhh!!!]
[We’re going to be eaten!]
[Eaten, eaten!]
[Scary! Scary!]
Their thinking is very simple. When faced with a creature stronger than themselves, the only danger they can think of is being eaten by the other party.
However, at this moment, Yuan Ye’s wrist turned and lightly flicked the blunt side of the knife in the seawater.
When the long knife emerged from the water again, it had a wet and sticky pink little creature clinging to it.
The little tentacles were so frightened that they huddled together in front of his head, trembling, seeking warmth from each other.
Ye Yunfan was initially filled with panic and unease, but after a moment of darkness, he still had to endure and mutter in a low voice.
“Loosen up, I can’t see anything!”
[Oh!]
[Oh oh oh!]
The little tentacles, realizing a bit late, quickly loosen up.
They moved swiftly, like fingers covering a face, parting to reveal a gap just wide enough for Ye Yunfan’s eyes to peek outside.
Yuan Ye stared expressionlessly at the little octopus; earlier it was too dark and dangerous under the sea, so only now did he have time to carefully observe this strange little creature.
“Hmm, pink…”
Ye Yunfan’s heart raced madly as he saw the young man tilt his head slightly, seemingly lost in thought and a bit puzzled.
“—jellyfish?”
Ye·suddenly had cardiac arrest·Yunfan: “………”
