I Am Cultivating in the Apocalypse-Chapter 913 - 1002: I’m Just an Ordinary Trash Picker
Yeah, figuring out how to deal with this giant octopus is a problem. When this octopus goes berserk, it’s just insane.
Although we’re all New Humans, something this outrageous is a first for us.
Jing Shu replied in the group, "I’ll think of a way to lure it away, you all just control the scene and others."
The old Taoist finally couldn’t help but ask, "Miss Jing, it’s not that I don’t believe you, but how can a little thing like you divert something that big? You might not even get close before you’re gone."
Gambler: "Hahaha! Yeah, I say just let Captain Qi handle it directly. This giant octopus is bent on sinking all these ships, what could possibly lure it away?"
Jing Shu typed furiously, "Don’t worry, I really have a way. Let me clarify, I’m only responsible for luring the giant octopus over there; the rest of the battle is up to you guys. Don’t drag it back once I’ve led it away."
At this moment, Code Seven also spoke up, "Captain Jing, as long as you lure it over, we’ll set up traps, divide the battlefield, block signals, and completely trap it inside there."
Yang Yang said, "Take care of this giant octopus, and we’ll manage the battlefield here. After all, the performance must go on."
Jing Shu smiled slightly and replied in the group, "Give me five minutes."
Mayer watched Jing Shu sitting comfortably and suddenly rising to leave, and asked anxiously, "Where are you going?" Darline translated.
Without turning her head, Jing Shu said, "Going to catch your boss alive and roast octopus to eat."
Mayer’s mouth opened wide. This woman has lost her mind?
...
Although many in the group were curious about what method Jing Shu would use to lure away the giant octopus, they didn’t ask further.
They just waited silently.
Meanwhile, Jing Shu solemnly took out several Energy Crystals and packed them into different rotten mermaids’ bodies.
For Dark Creatures, the most irresistible thing is Dark Energy.
However, since each Dark Creature has different attributes, they each prefer different Dark Energy. Like Xiao Wei, who survived being bitten in half by the Mother Worm because she devoured a black Energy Crystal, she is particularly attracted to black energy, wanting to absorb it constantly.
As for cockroaches, they prefer green Energy Crystals.
Since it was unknown which kind the giant octopus belonged to or preferred, Jing Shu took out each type.
Then Jing Shu took out the big guns, a full hundred drops of Spiritual Spring, encased them in sealed glass bottles. The sheer energy made Jing Shu feel comfortable all over.
No creature could refuse the allure of the Spiritual Spring.
Of course, with Jing Shu’s thorough nature, she’d made sure all these baits were insured.
She added a few chains as mediators to these things, so even if the rotten mermaids were accidentally devoured by the giant octopus, the crystals and Spiritual Spring would instantly return to her Magic Cube Space.
"Release!"
"Retrieve!"
Jing Shu tested it several times to ensure there was no issue, then changed into a diving suit and lay on the rotten mermaids.
Everything was ready!
Jing Shu personally led several rotten mermaids into the sea, following from afar.
It didn’t even take five minutes.
When Jing Shu released these things a hundred meters from the giant octopus, the octopus paused for a few seconds.
Just as Jing Shu frowned, the berserk giant octopus swam crazily towards her.
"Run!"
Jing Shu urged the rotten mermaids to turn around and flee.
She couldn’t run too fast, lest she alerted the giant octopus.
Nor could she run too slow, as the octopus wasn’t sluggish, and it wouldn’t make sense to speed up after almost being caught. She had to get the speed just right from the start.
The battlefield, which was initially one-sided, saw seven or eight ships sunk by the giant octopus, hid deep in the sea, unreachable by cannonballs. Once it left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After over two kilometers, Jing Shu’s speed slowly decreased, and the octopus behind stayed for a while.
It seemed to want to turn back to the battlefield.
But Jing Shu wouldn’t let it, so she had the rotten mermaids slow down slightly.
Sure enough, with the Dark Energy right in front of it, the giant octopus made a crazy sprint, like activating a super move, frantically wrapping itself around them.
This time, the rotten mermaids didn’t escape.
Crunching, they were chewed into fragments, the octopus tentacles absorbed them directly.
At that moment, all the energy disappeared, returning to Jing Shu’s Magic Cube Space.
"Screech~~"
The giant octopus emitted a high-pitched, ear-piercing sound, seemingly in a rage.
But by then, it was too late.
It was surrounded.
Code Seven had a complicated expression, he already knew that if Jing Shu could lure this giant octopus, she must have good stuff. Just now, he felt a bodyful of joyful energy, a longing from the soul.
But suddenly, that energy disappeared——
"Surround it, set the traps!"
"Four-eyed boy, burn its tentacles first."
In an instant, the sea was in chaotic turmoil.
Jing Shu watched from afar, seeing the spectacular clash, noting that on top of the octopus, there was a human head, left only a head after being devoured.
"Ah, what a sight, the powers of these New Humans are terrifying! I’m just an ordinary human, better keep my distance. If I get hurt, what then?"
After watching for a while, Jing Shu led her thousands of rotten mermaids off the scene.
After all, as an ordinary person, Jing Shu could only control thousands of rotten mermaids, and various snakes, insects, ants, and rats, just small tricks not worth mentioning.
"Oh, and don’t let those burnt and severed octopus tentacles go to waste, pick them up, all of them."
So, as Code Seven and others fought hard against the octopus, Jing Shu leisurely picked up scraps in the back, quite a cooperative effort.
And after dividing the super-powered octopus, the scene was much easier to manage.
Yang Yang held a list of which pirates belonged to which factions and origins, perhaps not completely clear but certainly not far off.
"This Kurman is splitting ten ships, should catch quite a few fish."
"Oh? Winter is actually in Hansi? Very well, give them thirty ships."
...
"What did you say? We actually snatched supplies from thirty ships??" Winter raised his voice, utterly incredulous. Initially, he had little hope in this game because he entered late.
And with the small factions around either fleeing or disappearing.
He thought getting ten ships would be quite good already. But amidst the rampage of the giant octopus, losing two ships themselves, how did they manage to obtain supplies from thirty ships?
