Chapter 10: The Prehistoric Meat Grinder Starts Up! Giant Octopus Terrifies Global Audiences
As Arthur was frantically fleeing, he suddenly felt a darkness descend upon him.
Immediately afterwards, an irresistible and terrifying force directly wrapped around his five-meter-long body.
【Starry Sea Experiencer - 001 (Arthur)】:
[Get out of my way! Get out of my way! I am the number one in the Star Sea! I am the strongest horseshoe crab! I have the toughest armor!]
Desperate, Arthur unleashed an extremely fierce will to survive, brandishing his two indestructible giant claws.
It clamped down hard on the black tentacle wrapped around its body, while simultaneously stabbing its venomous tail stinger into the surface of the tentacle!
"Ding! Click!"
Arthur was in despair.
His enormous claws, powerful enough to cut through rocks, were clamped onto the thunderous tentacles.
Not only did it fail to cut even a sliver of the skin, but the extremely dense muscle fibers also caused its claws to ache!
As for his poisonous stinger, it couldn't even pierce the layer of mucus protection on Lei Dong's skin!
"Five meters long? Is that impressive?"
Lei Dong let out a cold sneer from his enormous black-gold beak hidden in the darkness.
"Strangulation."
With a thought from Lei Dong.
The giant tentacle wrapped around Arthur tightened suddenly.
The suction cups on the inside of the tentacles, each the size of a washbasin, opened instantly, revealing rings of razor-like meat-grinding teeth that gleamed with a cold light!
"Sizzle—Snap!!"
"Aaaaaaahhhhh!!"
It was accompanied by chilling screams.
Arthur's prized Ordovician top-tier heavy armor was like a thin potato chip in front of Lei Dong's [Meat Grinder Suction Cup].
Hundreds and thousands of sharp keratinous teeth instantly shattered his hard shell and pierced his soft internal organs!
The potent neurotoxin, accompanied by strangulation, destroyed Arthur's central nervous system in a fraction of a second.
[Ding! You have killed Starsea Federation Experiencer-001 (Arthur)!]
[Gained extremely high-quality genetic nutrients, evolution points increased by 500!]
Just now, I was fantasizing about ruling the prehistoric oceans as the number one player in the Star Sea Federation.
At this moment, it looks like a crispy lobster that has been crushed.
The green fluid mixed with broken carapace exploded into a cloud of murky blood mist in the seawater.
Lei Dong skillfully retracted the tentacle, which was mixed with bits of flesh, and put it into his abyss-like black-gold beak.
"Click, click..."
The extremely crisp chewing sound echoed in the silent seabed.
"Um……
It's too crunchy; it's mostly shell, the meat isn't firm enough. It's only good as a crunchy snack.
Lei Dong mentally gave this top player in the Star Sea an extremely fair evaluation of his food.
Then, those huge, eerie yellow compound eyes slowly turned.
He glanced at the few Starsea underlings beside him, who were frozen in place, too terrified to even think about running away.
Jack, Tom, and the others watched helplessly as their invincible boss, whom they considered a god, was brought to life.
It was instantly killed, crushed, and then chewed up like a snack by a tentacle.
Their brains have completely stopped thinking.
This is a dimensional attack! This is a terrifying monster they simply cannot comprehend!
"Run...run in different directions!"
Someone shouted a bloodcurdling scream over the communication channel.
The remaining four sea scorpions, like startled birds, fled frantically in four different directions.
"run?
"If even one of you manages to escape from my territory, then all those 25 meters of my height have been wasted."
Lei Dong's enormous body trembled slightly.
Instead of spraying water, his siphon suddenly spewed out an extremely thick, abyss-black, viscous liquid!
[A revolutionary talent skill: High-pressure ink poison screen!]
"boom!"
The pitch-black toxic curtain exploded on the seabed in an instant, like a black sun, covering the entire water area within a radius of several hundred meters in a very short time.
The few Starsea underlings who had just swum a short distance away let out a piercing scream the moment they came into contact with the black, poisonous curtain.
This is no ordinary octopus ink! It contains highly corrosive and neurotoxins.
Their hard shells began to sizzle and corrode in the black water, and their bodies instantly lost control, sinking straight to the seabed.
Lei Dong gracefully extended four tentacles from the darkness, as if picking up a cookie that had fallen to the ground.
He easily rolled up the four numbed "snacks" and slowly stuffed them into his mouth.
[Ding! You have killed Starsea Federation Experiencer-012!]
[Ding! You have killed Starsea Federation Experiencer-044!]...
A series of kill notification sounds rang in Lei Dong's ears.
In less than a minute.
This strongest squad of the Star Sea Federation, which originally intended to make great strides in the "Abyss of Sighs" and even had the ambition to rule the ocean, was completely wiped out.
The entire Starsea Federation's dedicated channel was now shrouded in a silence more deathly than a graveyard.
All the observers in the starry sea behind watched as the number one name on the leaderboard suddenly went gray.
They were all drenched in cold sweat, as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
Lei Dong, the instigator, simply let out a contented burp and spat out a bubble mixed with a few pieces of shell.
at the same time.
In the real world, unexpected changes have occurred.
"Look at the sky! What's that?!"
On the campus of Jiangda University, someone let out a terrified scream.
Immediately afterwards, it spread to streets and alleys, office buildings, squares, and even to the other side of the ocean.
Everyone around the world who looked up at the sky was deeply shocked.
The black crack that had always stretched across the sky suddenly began to writhe as if it were alive.
Immediately afterwards, the crack tore and expanded to both sides.
It transformed into an enormous, ultra-high-definition holographic projection screen that almost covered the entire sky above the Earth!
[Ding! The first phase (Ordovician Period) of survival evolution in "Earth Online" has officially begun!]
[To allow all of humanity to better appreciate the cruelty of civilization and the power of evolution.]
SkyNet will randomly capture exciting kills, tactical maneuvers, and advanced evolution moments from the game and stream them anonymously and globally!
Accompanied by a grand, mechanical system sound that resounded through the sky, the images on the celestial screen lit up.
At first, the image was somewhat dark and blurry, but it quickly focused on a narrow ocean current channel on the east side of the reef trench.
In the video, a dozen or so primitive Ordovician organisms (such as trilobites and starfish) with different shapes and extremely weak bodies are struggling to move forward with the ocean current.
Just as they passed a hidden reef,
Thousands upon thousands of prehistoric sea worms, no bigger than a fingernail and covered in venomous fangs, swept out of the cracks in the rocks like a black sandstorm!
This was not a battle at all, but a one-sided massacre!
Venomous insects burrow into the crevices of their prey's shell and gill slits like a malignant tumor, releasing deadly neurotoxins.
Although there was no sound, the sense of despair—the flesh being devoured, the desperate struggle in vain—almost overflowed the screen.
In the lower right corner of the screen, comments from netizens around the world are scrolling in real time.
Because it was an anonymous live stream, the names of the victims were not displayed on the screen, but all parties immediately recognized where the battlefield was.
[Kuroshio Island Netizen]:
[Hahaha! Did you see that?! That's our Japanese army of 'venomous sea worms'! A perfect ambush! Well done!]
[Kuroshio Island Netizen]:
Those are Yunxia's reserves! Kill them all! Make them pay tenfold for the blood debt they owe us in the Cambrian! Damn it!
[Westland Union Audience]:
[Black Tide Island's tactics this time were very clever, abandoning individual combat power in pursuit of the ultimate group poisoning.]
It seems the spark of civilization in Yunxia is about to be extinguished in its cradle.
[Starsea Federation Audience]:
Survival of the fittest is the rule of 'Earth Online'.
The people of Yunxia are too naive; they actually dared to gather in such a grand manner.
Western audiences cheered, their laughter filled with schadenfreude and mockery.
The local viewers on Kuroshio Island, in particular, were like they were having a carnival, yelling and mocking Yunxia's incompetence in the comments.
Meanwhile, in Yunxia, the teachers and students in the lecture hall of Jiangda University stared intently at their compatriots being devoured on the screen, their eyes practically spitting fire.
Professor Lin closed his eyes in pain, slamming his fist on the table, his knuckles turning white from the force.
Wrong!
anger!
But there was nothing they could do.
However, just as the revelry on Kuroshio Island reached its peak, and just as the people of Yunxia were plunged into deep despair...
The image on the screen suddenly froze without warning.
Immediately afterwards, the entire screen was covered by a blinding dark golden light, and a huge line of blood-red text slammed into the eyes of all humanity like a heavy hammer:
[Special Report: An extremely rare instance of a player overwhelmingly defeating a higher-level opponent/a prehistoric abyss-level kill has been detected!]
[Scene has transitioned to: the edge of the Abyss of Sighs!]
The eyes of billions of people around the world were instantly captivated by those blood-red letters.
The scene flashed, and a dark, deep-sea canyon appeared on the sky.
The first thing that catches the eye is an extremely majestic, giant dark gold sea scorpion that is five meters long!
It is brandishing its terrifying giant claws, leading its four henchmen, and rampaging across the seabed.
Paleontologists and top enthusiasts worldwide immediately recognized the significance of this sea scorpion.
[Starsea Federation Audience]:
[My God! A five-meter-long horseshoe crab! That's our Starsea Federation's Boss Arthur!]
He's actually evolved to this level!
[Westland Union Audience]:
[Incredible! It's only been a short time since the start, and the body length has already reached five meters?]
This is absolutely the current ceiling of combat power in the Ordovician period!
This overwhelming display of skill must be showing him hunting down players from other regions!
But next second.
The breath of viewers around the world stopped at the same time.
A terrifying giant eye, the size of a truck tire, with a ghostly yellow color and a cross-shaped pupil in the center, slowly opened!
"What the hell is that thing?!"
