Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 80 The Hefty Bounty from the Black Society and Kingsoft
The eight-armed hunter naturally remembered the human who had severed one of its legs, and it let out a high-pitched roar.

Seven arms danced in the seawater like giant seaweed.

Their length had been expanded to the limit, stretching out for tens of meters. The constantly opening and closing suction cups brought a powerful sense of pressure, giving Shi Ming a thrill similar to facing a Cthulhu creation in an online game.

It moved!

In the blink of an eye, that hideous face suddenly appeared less than ten meters away from Shi Ming, and an indescribable feeling that could give him nightmares with just one glance suddenly filled Shi Ming's vision.

Without hesitation or testing the waters, the hunt began immediately.

A primal, icy throbbing sensation traveled along the seawater, but it only fueled Shi Ming's desire to fight.

A low roar exploded inside the Sun Shooting Ship. Adrenaline mixed with the absolute calm he had trained to drive Shi Ming's body. He stepped on the Sun Shooting Ship and swung the King Slayer Sword. A silver light, like lightning, pierced the silence of the deep sea.

At this moment, he is one with shooting down the sun.

Just like the immortals in the story who travel on swords, he also battles in the deep sea on a ship.

The operational space was extremely compressed.
But it doesn't matter.

The agility of the Sun-Shooting technique compensated for the limitations of space, while the King-Slaying Blade sliced ​​through tough muscle tissue.
Thick, dark blue blood gushed out, and the strong fishy smell made Shi Ming even more excited.

The injury also fueled the ferocity of the eight-armed hunter. Its giant arms swung wildly, no longer attacking at a single frequency, but weaving a web of death. With wriggling suckers, it attacked from all sides, trying to completely engulf Shi Ming, squeeze him, and then stuff him into the giant mouth at the top.

It savors the taste of its prey little by little.

Little did they know that the person before them was the true hunter.

The sun shone through the darkness, flashing past again and again.

laugh!
when!
click!
The octopus's regenerative ability and vitality are beyond imagination. Under high pressure, the wound quickly contracts and stops bleeding, and wriggles to grow. Accompanied by excruciating pain, this eight-armed predator's attacks become even more frenzied.

Shi Ming fixed his gaze on its head, which was surrounded by its seven limbs.

In the midst of intense fighting, they finally found a weakness.

good chance!
Without the slightest hesitation, Shooting the Sun pushed the speed to its limit, like a real arrow, heading straight for the vital point against that enormous shadow!
One of its tentacles tried to block, but was forcefully repelled!

The closer Shi Ming got, the more oppressive this behemoth became. When he was almost there, he could even see his own and Shooting Sun's reflections in its cold eyes.

Ten times the power!
Click!

The King Slayer tore open a vacuum within the immense pressure of the seawater and the air layer of the Sun Shooter. The crimson patterns even transmitted to the ancient, clanging blade, which, with a hissing sound, was aimed at the ferocious head of the Eight-Armed Hunter.

puff!

As the Sun-Shooting Assassin drew near, the nearly one-meter-long King-Slaying Blade cleaved through the skull of the Eight-Armed Hunter, creating a true bloody passage.

Whoosh!
The sun pierced through it, shooting straight out from behind the octopus's head, bringing with it thick brain matter and dark blue blood.

Like a hero's sash.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

The giant octopus's brain was pierced, and its body suddenly stiffened. Its remaining seven tentacles were taut like iron rods, then began to convulse and collapse. The immense pressure receded like a tide, and the deadly tentacles all limply relaxed, crashing onto the seabed silt amidst the dark blue blood.

Call ~
The sun-shooting creature hovered amidst the rising blue blood mist, while a true B-class sea beast crashed down behind it.

……

……

……

Itsukushima Rin sat at her desk, a golden pen in her hand, wanting to write, but unsure where to begin.

That was a letter of resignation to take responsibility.

The truth could not be hidden forever. For some reason, his political enemies knew everything about the matter, even the death of the demon sword was revealed. Da Huangye, as the person primarily responsible, has been executed by firing squad.

Strangely, although the chief executive of the yakuza was extremely disappointed, he did not punish Itsukushima Rin, but merely told him to "take care of himself"!
His mind grew increasingly confused; a thousand words failed him to form a single coherent sentence.
He crumpled the resignation letter on the table into a ball and threw it out the window. The paper fell into the water, was caught in the turbine of the giant ship, and was pulverized.

Itsukushima Rin stood by the window, her eyes clouded as she gazed at the distant "Sea Rising Cherry Blossom".

【drop】

The communicator on the table rang.

He returned to his seat, picked it up, and took a look.

It's a message from the intelligence organization "Golden Tower".

[General Itsukushima, are you saying that your A-rank Awakened Demon Blade encountered your target during this mission and sent back a message, but did not report back afterwards? This means that she and the navigator Edward died at the hands of the mission's target, rather than encountering a powerful sea monster?]

[A mere Silver-class drifting ship could cause the deaths of two Awakened? Your previous mission request didn't mention anything about this!]

Itsukushima Rin sighed.

Now, the only chance to turn things around is to rely on the power of the Golden Pagoda.

He typed into the communicator,

Yes, Mr. Robert.

The failure and unexpected events of the mission are not the outcome we wanted.

This silver ship may have fallen into the hands of a powerful organization; even an A-rank Awakened would be no match for it. Our underworld suffered heavy losses in this mission, and your side also lost an elite member. Now, only by joining forces can we share intelligence, understand the truth, and minimize our losses.

The Black Society has decided to offer a reward of 600 Pure Crystals for the search of the Silver Drifter Ship, numbered 23333, in the Endless Ocean.

Itsukushima Rin's external communication equipment can transmit a maximum of 200 characters at a time.

His fingertips flew across the keyboard as he typed out the last few words.

[I hope Mr. Robert understands that this is not just a matter for the mafia alone. It also concerns the reputation and capabilities of the Golden Pagoda organization.]

……

a long time,

Across the ocean.

Robert sat on the sofa with a splitting headache and typed a reply to Itsukushima Rin into his communicator.

【You're right, General Itsukushima. This is not only a loss for the Yakuza, but also a provocation and challenge to Kinta.】

[Golden Pagoda and Michael are both offering a combined reward of 600 Pure Crystals for the search of the Silver Drifter Ship numbered 23333 in the Endless Ocean. Anyone providing valid information will receive a portion of the reward based on their contribution. Of course, this requires the disclosure of the ship's specific data, which I believe you will not mind.]

The details of the reward still need to be discussed and agreed upon. If there are no objections, it should be announced promptly through available channels; time is of the essence.

Robert.

The lighthouse ordered him to retrieve Edward's body within twenty days.

The immense pressure was causing Robert, the captain of the Golden Mountain and the second-in-command of the Golden Tower, immense suffering.

Now that he has learned from the underworld that Edward may have been killed by an Awakened, he feels that things have taken a slight turn for the better.

Even if Edward's body cannot be found, finding the murderer would be enough to complete the mission.

Ugh!
Being a captain is difficult.

Being a middleman is even more difficult!
