Chapter 660: King Octopus
"Get on it! Anyone who retreats, I’ll slice him with a thunderbolt. Whoever takes down Gu Fan, I’ll make him the Pirate Chief." Qian Feng gave the orders, displaying a do-or-die attitude, leaving the pirates no choice but to comply.
Just then, a sudden wave taken up out of nowhere swallowed a ship. Many saw tentacles raving in the wave, which consulted sheer terror in them.
The tentacles grabbed the ship and tried to overturn it, causing the pirates onboard to jump into the sea. However, as soon as they plunged in, they felt a tight pull under their feet, and they were dragged down.
Being tall, Gu Fan and his company had a distant view. The attacker of the pirate ship was a colossal squid, presumably the notorious giant squid.
"No way, was it the same creature that attacked the ship before?" Everyone was terrified, fearing that their boat would have been targeted last time if the other ships hadn’t distracted the creature.
At that moment, two more pirate ships were attacked by the giant waves. Some terrified pirates fired their guns, while others leapt into the sea. The result was the same; either both pirates and ships were dragged under water, or they were dragged down after jumping into the sea.
"My God, isn’t it one giant squid coming?" Just when everyone was anxious, three attacks were launched simultaneously, specifically targeting the pirate fleet.
Listening to the terrified screams of the pirates, Gu Fan, Su Hui, and Lin Xi were grateful to be on a larger ship, out of the giant squid’s reach.
Lin Xi made a quick estimate - these giant squid must be at least thirty meters long, which allows them to easily take down the pirate ships. If there is one that is fifty or sixty meters long, it may also pose a threat to large cargo ships.
