The youth stared expressionlessly at the small creature madly gesturing in front of him, showing no reaction. It’s unknown whether he understood or not.
Just as Ye Yunfan was anxiously trying to gesture a few more times, his body suddenly stiffened as if he had seen something terrifying. His pupils dilated abruptly.
At this moment, several bizarre and eerie black shadows appeared not far behind the youth.
The little octopus was facing him, so he saw this scene almost clearly. He was horrified and didn’t care whether Yuan Ye understood what he wanted to express just now.
Immediately, he scrambled back to the young man’s shoulder, then used the little tentacles to tug on his earlobe, forcefully tugging it backward.
Turn around! Turn around!
There are so many monsters behind you! Brother!!!
There’s no other way. The baby octopus can’t speak human language, so he can only frantically gesture.
Ye Yunfan was very anxious. It was as if his eyebrows were on fire… oh wait, he doesn’t have eyebrows, but you get the idea, he was extremely urgent.
The little tentacles were also anxious, but unfortunately, they also couldn’t speak. They could only gesture wildly and make chirping noises.
[Run!]
[Run fast!]
[We’re going to be eaten!]
[Eaten, eaten!]
At this moment, Ye Yunfan felt that if his tentacles were a little longer and stronger, he could directly turn this guy’s head to the back.
However, Yuan Ye only felt that the blood in his body was rushing to his left shoulder and left ear. His heterochromatic pupils shrank rapidly, and these two areas seemed burning hot in the cold, deep sea in the early morning.
Because he’s suffering from severe physical contact disorder, he had never been touched at such a close distance by anyone before.
Although it wasn’t a human touching him, the sensation was very similar, but with a strange softness and a subtle, indescribable… sucking sensation.
That’s likely to be the suction cups.
Yes, it seems like he saw suction cups on the other creature’s tentacles earlier.
Yuan Ye’s body trembled slightly, but deep down, he wanted to grab the little creature immediately and throw it far away. But the situation was just as urgent as Ye Yunfan had feared and the terrifying danger was already imminent, just a few breaths away.
The gigantic monster that had just had its webbed limb chopped off by Yuan Ye was the first to arrive. Its flat mouth suddenly widened, nearly forming a perfect circle, revealing the numerous sharp teeth inside.
The distance between them was so close, close enough that in just one more second, Yuan Ye could be turned into those sharp teeth shattered remains.
A massive, pitch-black shadow engulfed Ye Yunfan and Yuan Ye completely.
In a critical moment, the deep-rooted fighting instinct inside Yuan Ye’s soul made his rigid body move instantly.
However, he didn’t choose to flee, nor did he hastily turn around to defend himself. Instead, he gripped his knife in a reverse grip and held it horizontally behind him.
At that moment, when the blade came to a halt, Ye Yunfan caught sight of the familiar white line.
It appeared without warning in the middle of the monster’s terrifying mouth, like an arbitrary line drawn by a mathematician.
Crash—
The scene in his field of vision shifted from the bloody and terrifying gaping mouth to the darkness. Then, a very foul-smelling row of sharp teeth passed by.
Ye Yunfan caught a glimpse of a horizontal beam of light in the boundless darkness, like the moment when someone came out of a labyrinth.
Finally, he caught sight of the back of the massive monster that had just swiftly passed by, as well as the horde of monsters that followed closely behind.
He trembled all over, as if he had guessed what had happened, but found it incredibly unbelievable. He immediately turned his head to look back.

“Cough!”
The youth covered his mouth in pain, his once straight and upright back finally bending. He knelt down on one knee, relying heavily on the blade to support his entire body.
A large amount of bright red blood gushed out from between his fingers, dispersing into large clusters of blood mist in the seawater, like blooming flowers.
He needs to find a way to resurface first.
Yuan Ye looked up, enduring the excruciating pain in his lungs, and estimated the distance from his current location to the water’s surface.
—His air has reached its limit.
Ye Yunfan was very close to him, so he could smell the strong scent of blood even more clearly.
The scent of blood was not only coming from the part where the boy had coughed up blood earlier, but also from his chest.
Ye Yunfan thought for a moment, then swiftly slid down from Yuan Ye’s shoulder, crawled across his collarbone, and landed on his chest.
All the buttons of the shirt were completely fastened, with each one tightly secured. The thin white shirt clung to his body, faintly revealing the color of his skin.
However, the excessively clean white color of the shirt only made the large patch of blood red on his chest even more striking and alarming.
At the same time, Yuan Ye’s body, which had been visibly trembling due to the pain, suddenly stiffened.
His left hand was injured and unable to move, while his right hand was still holding a long knife to support his body. That’s why Yuan Ye couldn’t immediately grab the little creature that was running around his body.
When Ye Yunfan saw that the other party did not stop him, he felt more at ease and bold. He thought that if he could use his suction cups to block his own wound and stop the bleeding, perhaps it would also work for others.
Time was tight. Ye Yunfan didn’t have the patience to unbutton the shirt. He gently hooked his small tentacle into the narrow gap between the buttons, and in the next second, his entire body smoothly slipped in like liquid.
Yuan Ye: !!!
Thanks to his excellent non-human vision, Ye Yunfan was able to clearly see the gaping wound on the youth’s chest, even in such dim lighting conditions.
However, he couldn’t determine what had caused the injury, as the person who treated the wound seemed to have removed a portion of flesh and then stitched it up.
The stitches had come undone, and the gaping wound was now submerged in dirty, cold seawater, causing it to bleed uncontrollably.
The little octopus looked at its small suction cups, then glanced at the wound that was almost as long as his body. After a moment of thought, he crawled over and pasted his whole body as a makeshift band-aid.
The small tentacles stuck to the intact skin around the wound and then exerted force toward the center, perfectly replacing the function of stitches.
Ye Yunfan knew very well that he, a baby octopus with five scums, was now relying on this youth with incredible fighting power to survive.
Because, among everyone present, only Yuan Ye had the power to fight against those monsters.
If Yuan Ye were to die, everyone else would also die.
So now, the only way to survive is to protect the other party.
At this moment, Yuan Ye, who was a little sluggish, immediately opened his collar. Without the cover of his shirt collar, the round, black metal collar around his neck was exposed.
Yuan Ye was close to getting angry at the moment. He planned to catch this little creature running around everywhere and throw it away.
But as he lowered his head, the young man saw the pink “band-aid” on his own chest.
Those big round, blue eyes stared at him unblinkingly, pure and clear.
The blood-red color in the seawater gradually faded away.
Yuan Ye suddenly froze.
He was very smart and understood what the other was doing as soon as he witnessed the scene.
Thud!
Without any warning, an anchor tied with a rope suddenly came crashing down from above. The person who threw the anchor had exceptional aim, almost delivering it directly into Yuan Ye’s hands.
However, this anchor was not meant to pull him out of the water, as Yuan Ye saw a syringe attached to it from above.
—It’s an oxygen fluid.
After injection, it can sustain one hour of human oxygen consumption. If it is in a high-intensity combat state, it can also sustain for twenty to thirty minutes.
This barren border defense zone would not have such precious drugs. It was likely brought by the special investigation team.
Yuan Ye looked up and indeed saw a blurry figure on the outer wall of the lighthouse not far away. At the same time, Chen Xinyue, who was half-leaning on the outer wall of the lighthouse, breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked up. And on top, Jon and the middle-aged sentinel, Larry, were staring down intently. Captain Chen waved her hand vigorously and shouted loudly at them.
“He got it!”
“Good! Good!!!”
Larry’s eyes were so full of excitement that he clapped his hands heavily and said good twice.
At this moment, it seemed as if he had forgotten the discrimination and dissatisfaction he had towards Yuan Ye yesterday. It was as if the youth submerged in the sea was his blood-related relative.
Jon was also very excited, but he still urged anxiously.
“Captain, hurry! Come up quickly, it’s not safe!”
“Alright!”
Chen Xinyue immediately started climbing up the rope, but right after, a chilling sense of danger surged up her spine. She swiftly lunged to the side, narrowly avoiding an otherworldly creature that suddenly lunged at her from underwater.
No! Not just one!
Chen Xinyue’s back turned cold as she saw several dark shadows swimming towards the lighthouse.
It all seemed as if… these monsters were seeking revenge on her for the support she had just provided for Yuan Ye.
“Captain!!!”
Jon shouted in alarm. He immediately leaned down and grabbed the rope to pull Chen Xinyue up with all his strength. Meanwhile, Larry, who was beside them, quickly picked up his gun.
Bang!
The massive otherworldly creatures began to ram into the lighthouse. They roared and howled as if venting their extreme anger.
Underwater–
The young man dropped the empty syringe. The gaping wound in his chest had basically stopped bleeding. The oxygen fluid he had just injected would be enough to sustain him underwater for a while.
However, he chose not to rescue the crumbling lighthouse immediately. Because even if he rushed back to the lighthouse, it would only be a desperate struggle. Moreover, he had little strength left, not enough to kill all the otherworldly creatures here.
So now, he must find the king creature and kill it.
However, it was evident that the creature beneath Yuan Ye’s feet earlier was not the king, because when he first chopped off its webbed limb, the other otherworldly creatures did not have any particular reaction.
Humans are greatly restricted underwater, but Yuan Ye can only stay underwater as well because if the king creature wants to hide, it will only hide underwater.
Thoughts raced through his mind like electric currents, but in reality, Yuan Ye only pondered for a few seconds, his gaze suddenly freezing amidst the countless approaching shadows.
The next second, he turned around and confronted them head-on.
Because Yuan Ye had just pulled open his collar, the little octopus, acting as a makeshift band-aid, could now poke its head out slightly to look outside.
He felt like he was sitting on a roller coaster ride because Yuan Ye’s speed was too fast. He would land on a big monster one moment, then bounce off to another big monster the next moment.
In the rapid changes of perspective, Ye Yunfan was also diligently searching for the small monster. Strangely enough, he seemed to have a unique radar for that little monster. After scanning roughly for a few moments, the little octopus immediately found its target.
It was hiding about a hundred meters below, nestled in a crevice between rocks, its several eyes coldly staring at their location.
The little octopus immediately became excited, but he was now a makeshift band-aid, so he couldn’t make any big movements. Otherwise, Yuan Ye, who was protecting his little life, would suffer severe injuries.
Therefore, Ye Yunfan could only maintain his motionless posture and gently poke the youth’s chest with the tip of his tentacle.
In the middle of the intense battle, Yuan Ye’s footing momentarily softened. Fortunately, his strong combat skills prevented any significant impact.
The young man gloomily lowered his eyes, emitting a gaze filled with death threats.
The little octopus became extremely excited and immediately used the tip of its tentacle to brush downward several times.
Ye Yunfan wished he could grab his collar and shout loudly—
There! Right there!
The little octopus stared at him impatiently, hoping that the other would instantly understand what he meant. However, all he felt was Yuan Ye’s heartbeat becoming suddenly heavy and rapid, and even his body temperature started to rise.
Ye Yunfan was momentarily stunned, almost crying tears of joy.
He understood! He must have understood!
Otherwise, why would he be so excited?!
In reality, Yuan Ye didn’t actually understand, but he had just searched around and it was evident that the king creature was not around here.
Then he must be hiding in a more distant location.
The young man pondered for a moment and immediately turned over, diving down.
And in that instant when he changed direction, the otherworldly creatures that had previously carried a hint of playfulness immediately went berserk and charged toward him.
Yuan Ye’s lips curled up slightly.
—The bet was right!
However, when Yuan Ye was less than twenty meters away from the massive rock at the bottom of the sea, he was ultimately intercepted.
However, Yuan Ye caught sight of the small otherworldly creature hiding in the crevice of the rock.
Sure enough, it was the same creature that the little guy in his chest had pointed out to him earlier.
However, the deep sea was not the home ground for humans, after all, and Yuan Ye had no way to approach any closer.
Ye Yunfan was extremely anxious because he saw that the little monster had already started running away.
If it couldn’t be killed now, there might be no chance of finding it again next time!
The little octopus struggled for a few seconds before suddenly making up its mind. He secreted a lot of mucus with his tentacles and stuck it into Yuan Ye’s chest.
A moment ago, Ye Yunfan had discovered when he was patching up his own wound. His tentacles could secrete some sticky liquid which seemed to help glue wounds.
In any case, the situation now was critical, and desperate times called for desperate measures!
After completing these actions, the little octopus detached itself from Yuan Ye’s chest, hooked the youth’s shirt, and crawled to his side.
There was a pocket knife pinned there.
Ye Yunfan forcefully pulled out the small knife and wrapped it with two of his tentacles. Then, he hooked onto the young man’s pants and jumped all the way down, swiftly chasing the little monster.
The size of the little octopus was indeed very small. He’s only as big as Yuan Ye’s palm. Compared to the massive creatures, it was even smaller. So, even after darting out quite far, no monster noticed him.
The little monster was an ugly, fleshy ball with multiple eyes. It had a flat tail at the back, similar to a tadpole. Its swimming speed was naturally no match for the octopus with eight tentacles.
However, Ye Yunfan was also struggling to swim because the small knife, which was just a pocket knife for humans, felt like a super large knife for a baby octopus like him.
But so what!
The little octopus dragged his super large knife, valiant and spirited, and slashed toward the little monster’s head!
