Starting with one punch, I'll stop being human.

"...You're asking for it!!!"

The slimy octopus snapped out of its daze and immediately flew into a rage!

The enormous octopus head suddenly turned red, and its eight tentacles, like pythons emerging from their caves, lashed out at Han Sen with astonishing speed, accompanied by a whooshing sound!

Before you even touch it, a strong, pungent, sticky odor hits you, almost making you want to vomit!

"The fight started!"

"Tear him apart! Boss Octopus!"

"Kill that bug!"

The surrounding monsters roared with excitement and bloodlust, as if they could already see Han Sen being whipped to pieces by the tentacles and then being torn to pieces into a pile of minced meat!

Faced with the onslaught of eight tentacles that roared like steel whips, Han Sen's eyes showed no fear, but rather a bloodthirsty excitement!

It's time to test the true value of SSR abilities!

In the blink of an eye, Han Sen's senses were heightened to the extreme!

The flow of time was stretched out in an instant, as if the eight tentacles that were originally rushing in at high speed had been slowed down.

The trajectory, power, speed, angle... even the gust of wind it generated, were all clearly presented in his mind!

Just as the tentacles were about to reach him, the dark figure launched an attack in an instant, like a black arrow released from a bow, suddenly piercing through the air!

Han Sen's figure seemed to teleport, narrowly passing through the gap between the eight tentacles at an incredible angle, and appeared directly on the side of the slime octopus's huge body!

This speed completely exceeds the reaction limit of a Tiger-level monster!

The extraordinary sense of danger and combat intuition granted by "Beast Instinct" allowed him to predict all attack trajectories in advance, while the powerful base stats provided by "Overgrowth" and "Beast Body" enabled him to unleash a force far exceeding the current disaster level!

"what?!"

The slimy octopus felt a frantic alarm bell ringing in its mind, and its pupils contracted sharply!

In the blink of an eye, the target vanished into thin air!

Immediately afterwards, an extreme sense of danger came from the side!

It was then horrified to discover that this "useless" wolf-level creature, which was only a mid-level wolf a few hours ago, was now so fast that even it could hardly track its movements!

How can this be? !

Before its sluggish nerves can react, it adjusts its posture or sprays ink to interfere.

A claw covered in a menacing black carapace, its fingertips gleaming with a cold light, already tearing through the air with lightning speed, accompanied by the sound of wind breaking, and thrusting out fiercely!

The target was the slime octopus's huge, unguarded head!

Pfft——! ! !

Like a sharp knife piercing rotten flesh!

Hansen's sharp claws easily tore through the slimy octopus's slippery skin and fragile cartilage, and his five fingers plunged deep into its head!

Half of the slime octopus's head was dented, and blue blood, like cheap ink, mixed with broken white brain tissue, gushed out from between its fingers like a fountain!

"Uhhhhhh-!!!"

The intense pain of having its brain pierced and the fear of death overwhelmed the slime octopus instantly!

It let out a scream so shrill it was unlike any living creature, and its remaining few intact tentacles, as if possessed, lashed out wildly and uncontrollably at Han Sen, who was right in front of it!

However, these attacks, which are considered powerful even among tiger-level creatures, only produced muffled "bang bang bang" sounds when they struck Han Sen's black carapace covered with crimson stripes!

With its physique and defense enhanced by the initial "Beast Body" Lv1, how could a mere mid-level Tiger-class physical attack easily shake it?

After such frantic whipping, not even a few marks were left on the carapace!

"This is impossible!"

The slime octopus was utterly incredulous that its attacks couldn't even break through its defenses!

However, it did not sit idly by and wait for its death. The huge octopus head suddenly tilted back, and a thick, foul-smelling black liquid suddenly gushed out from its mouth!

"Thick ink!"

This ink is not only highly toxic and corrosive, but it can also interfere with vision and perception, which is one of its most powerful tricks!

"Yay ya yeah... You want to go for the wave, huh?"

A hint of mockery flashed in Han Sen's eyes.

With a single claw strike, Han Sen severed the wildly flailing tentacles at their roots, and as he swiftly retreated, he simultaneously opened his mouth.

A dazzling, blazing white light gathered in his mouth, forming an energy blast that emitted terrifying heat and destructive energy!

The energy blast quickly took shape and fiercely blasted towards the stench of ink splashing all over the sky!

"Scorching bomb!!"

Chi Chi Chi -!

The moment the high heat energy came into contact with the foul-smelling ink, it produced a loud evaporation sound!

The viscous ink instantly vaporized and annihilated under the terrifying high temperature, unable to stop the energy blast in the slightest!

In the slime octopus's remaining single eye, the pupil suddenly contracted to its maximum size, reflecting the crimson orb radiating an aura of death, which then rapidly enlarged in the blink of an eye!

The next moment, its massive body was completely engulfed by the suddenly expanding and exploding energy blast!

Boom——! ! !

Chapter 6: Monster Cells!

Boom——! ! !

Amidst the deafening explosion, the vast underground space trembled violently, and debris rained down from the dome.

A blinding, blazing white light burst forth with the explosion, instantly engulfing the massive body of the slime octopus and turning the vision of all the monsters into a brief, pale white!

A violent shockwave followed closely behind, sweeping outwards with overwhelming force!

Many wolf-level monsters who were originally waiting to see a good show were suddenly blown away by the terrifying energy aftershocks, like fallen leaves in a storm!

Several unlucky guys crashed headfirst into the hard rock wall, breaking bones and splinters, their heads bleeding profusely!

In an instant, wails filled the air, mixed with the sounds of chewing and swallowing as people took advantage of the chaos.

[Defeat the Tiger-level monster "Slime Octopus" and obtain 28 Origin Points!]

A crisp system notification sounded in Han Sen's mind, confirming the death of the slime octopus.

Sure enough, the stronger the monster, the more Origin Points were obtained from killing it.

The number of Origin Points dropped by just one mid-Tiger-level Octopus Monster is more than ten times that of a Wolf-level Cockroach Monster!

As the smoke and hot steam from the explosion slowly dissipated, a tall figure covered in menacing black armor was revealed in the center of the arena.

Han Sen casually flicked the blue blood and brain matter mixture remaining on his claws, as if he had just easily swatted a fly.

His cold gaze slowly swept across the entire room, like a king surveying his territory.

The once noisy and bustling underground space is now deathly silent!

Most of the surviving monsters lay prostrate on the ground, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, not daring to even breathe.

Looking at Han Sen, all that remained in their eyes was awe of the strong and a deep-seated fear!

Even the few Tiger-level monsters were sweating profusely, and they all lowered their heads like docile sheep, not daring to cause any trouble.

In just a few moves, they instantly killed the slime octopus that they once considered incredibly powerful!

The scene was bloody and shocking, completely overturning their understanding of power levels!

Hansen was very satisfied with the results.

Establishing authority requires thoroughness and a powerful impact to avoid unnecessary trouble later on.

He strode towards the epicenter of the explosion, the ground beneath his feet now a charred crater.

At the bottom of the pit were only some severely carbonized remains of flesh, the last traces left by the slime octopus on this world.

He casually used the tip of his claw to hook up the largest piece of charred remains, about half a meter long, which could still be barely made out to be part of a tentacle, and was sizzling with black smoke.

After considering it for a moment, Han Sen turned around, faced the strange people around him who were now silent with fear, and asked, "Does anyone know where this guy's room is?"

"Whoever can take me there, this will be the reward."

As soon as he finished speaking, the deathly silence eased slightly.

The group of strange people looked at each other, their eyes filled with both fear and a barely concealed greed.

Although the slime octopus is dead, it was still a Tiger-level monster.

Its flesh and blood are still a highly nutritious source of energy for low-level monsters.

"I...I...I know, sir!"

After a brief silence, a shifty-eyed, wolf-level rat-like monster excitedly raised its paw and shrieked, "Sir! I...I know where that bastard Slime Octopus's room is! I can take you there right now!"

It was small and thin, with unusually messy gray and white fur.

His voice trembled with excitement and fear, but his eyes were fixed on the charred remains in Han Sen's hand, filled with greed and desire!

"Very good, lead the way."

The rat-like monster's eyes lit up with ecstasy, and it scrambled over to lead the way.

Amidst the awe, fear, and barely concealed greed in the eyes of the strange men, Han Sen followed the rat-like monster and disappeared into the depths of an inconspicuous side path.

The oppressive atmosphere in the underground space only eased slightly after the terrifying black figure completely disappeared.

But then, an even more insane jealousy and greed burned in the eyes of every eccentric.

"Damn it! That bug..."

"He killed the octopus boss and took all the profits!"

"Shh! Do you want to die? Didn't you see how Boss Octopus died?"

"That was an instant kill! This guy... is definitely not simple!"

Whispers broke out, but were quickly suppressed by a deeper fear.

Nonsense! The strongest slime octopus here is dead beyond recognition, not even a trace left. They wouldn't dare to provoke that murderer at this time!

After winding and turning through the dimly lit underground passage, Han Sen followed the rat-like monster to a secluded gate.

"This is it, sir!"

Seemingly worried that Han Sen wouldn't believe him, the rat-like monster, beads of sweat on his forehead, hurriedly explained, "My ability is to dig holes; I'm very familiar with the terrain around here!"

"I once hid in the mud and saw the slime octopus enter this passage with my own eyes, so this must be the room!"

Han Sen nodded slightly, raised his fist, and punched the locked door!

Pure physical strength erupted suddenly, and the strong wind made the rat monster tumble on the spot. The large iron gate, which was directly hit, was twisted and deformed, and split in two!

Having successfully opened the door, Han Sen stepped into the slime octopus's room.

The room, which has been transformed into a cave, is very spacious inside. The uneven floor is slippery and sticky, making a "plop plop" sound when you step on it.

The cave walls were covered with translucent viscous liquid, which was still slowly dripping down.

In the corner were piles of bones, broken human belongings, and even several small, not-yet-completely-rotted monster corpses, which seemed to be the slime octopus's snack reserves.

Han Sen's gaze locked onto several wooden crates piled up among them, and a thought struck him.

His intuition told him that this was what he was looking for!

The slime octopus is in charge of assigning feeding tasks and is also good at embezzling the rewards from the lowly monsters, so it should have quite a lot of supplies on hand.

Seeing that the environment here matched the style of the slime octopus perfectly, Han Sen raised his hand and threw the still relatively intact charred octopus carcass to the trembling rat monster behind him.

"For your reward."

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"

The rat-like monster was overjoyed, grabbing the piece of meat that smelled strongly of burnt meat and trembling with excitement.

It didn't even care that it was too hot to eat; it opened its mouth full of sharp teeth, tore off a large piece, and swallowed it whole, making a satisfied "gurgling" sound in its throat.
