The fissure trench was extremely dark and eerie, with the seawater temperature dropping significantly. Even Ye Feng, who had received the Sea God's inheritance, felt a chill.
What shocked Ye Feng even more was that his underwater detection ability was suppressed within the deep trench. He could normally see everything within a three-hundred-meter radius, but now he could only see less than a hundred meters.
Furthermore, the giant octopus had disappeared. Fortunately, Ye Feng could still see the traces of its passage and followed the trail.
During his descent, Ye Feng discovered that the fissure trench was very deep, becoming darker and colder the further down he went. After following it for about fifty to sixty meters, he finally reached the bottom of the trench.
However, he couldn't see the giant octopus or Xiao Bai at this point, so he continued to search for the octopus's tracks to follow.
Soon, Ye Feng saw something that utterly shocked him. At the bottom of the trench, he found the wreckage of a large sea vessel.
This sea vessel was nearly thirty meters long and covered in various mosses, corals, and seaweed. If one didn't look closely, they wouldn't even realize it was the remains of a ship.
What shocked Ye Feng even more was that the hull of the ship was severely twisted and dented, as if it had been ensnared by some immense force, leaving behind circular indentation marks.
This immediately reminded Ye Feng of the giant octopus he had seen earlier. Only a creature with a body over twenty meters long could inflict such damage on a ship of this size.
This indirectly indicated that the giant octopus was likely nearby, and Ye Feng became extremely vigilant.
He scanned his surroundings and noticed traces of something passing by. At the same time, his connection with Xiao Bai told him that Xiao Bai was in the vicinity.
This further confirmed his suspicion that the giant octopus was close by.
"Xiao Bai!"
Ye Feng called out loudly to Xiao Bai, but there was no response.
Helpless, he continued to move forward, but soon he reached a dead end. Here, he discovered a massive stone cave with several large rocks in front of it.
Ye Feng was overjoyed, feeling that the giant octopus must be here. However, upon closer inspection, he suddenly realized the cave was empty, and the giant octopus was nowhere to be seen.
"Strange? It's not here?" Ye Feng was puzzled.
But at that moment, the trident pattern on his forehead reappeared, flashing continuously, and at an even faster pace.
"Huh? What's going on?" Ye Feng felt a surge of panic and quickly looked around.
However, to his confusion, there was nothing around except for a few large rocks. He couldn't understand where the sense of danger was coming from.
Just then, a large rock behind him moved, and a massive object emerged from it, lunging directly at Ye Feng.
At this moment, the trident pattern on Ye Feng's forehead was flashing at an extreme frequency, and he could even feel his forehead burning.
Ye Feng instinctively turned his head and was startled.
"Huh? What is that?"
When he saw it clearly, he was so terrified that his soul nearly left his body.
It turned out to be a colossal tentacle, over ten meters long, whipping towards him like a giant python with terrifying speed.
"Seven Star Steps!"
Seeing this, Ye Feng instinctively used the Seven Star Steps he had just learned, instantly moving more than three meters sideways to dodge the attack of the massive tentacle.
The tentacle struck the rock wall beside him, causing it to instantly crack all over.
This sent a cold sweat down Ye Feng's back. He quickly retreated, and when he looked back at the large rock, he was stunned.
There was no longer any large rock. Instead, a terrifying giant octopus stood there, its scarlet eyes, larger than lanterns, wide open. Its six massive tentacles unfurled, creating a sense of overwhelming presence as they swayed in the water.
Furthermore, two of its tentacles were firmly wrapped around something, which was struggling. However, the more it struggled, the tighter those two tentacles coiled.
At this moment, Ye Feng finally realized how terrifying the creature before him was. Its sheer size far exceeded his previous estimations, and each of its numerous tentacles was like a monstrous python. Calling it a monster was no exaggeration.
Its terrifying form and dreadful scarlet eyes, in this dark trench, were like a demon descending upon the world. If Ye Feng hadn't been brave, he would have likely fainted on the spot.
Ye Feng had never seen such a large octopus, nor had he ever heard of one. It was simply unbelievable.
"Right, octopuses have abilities like camouflage and color change, allowing them to blend in with their surroundings! No wonder I couldn't find this guy earlier!" Ye Feng suddenly recalled some knowledge about octopuses.
Just then, Ye Feng noticed that the thing the giant octopus was holding was struggling weaker and weaker. He peered closely and realized it was none other than his Xiao Bai!
"Xiao Bai? Let go of Xiao Bai!" Ye Feng roared, rushing forward without a second thought.
Seeing this, the giant octopus quickly extended two tentacles to strike at Ye Feng.
"Seven Star Steps!"
Ye Feng, seeing this, immediately activated the Seven Star Steps, moving over six meters forward in two steps, preparing to get closer to the giant octopus.
The giant octopus, seeing Ye Feng advance instead of retreating, became even more enraged. Its four free tentacles also reached out towards Ye Feng, seemingly preparing to ensnare him.
"You want to catch me? No way! Seven Star Steps!"
Ye Feng, seeing this, continuously used the Seven Star Steps to dodge and approach the giant octopus.
"Take this! Wave Palm!" Ye Feng roared, channeling his Sea God's power to its fullest and unleashing a palm strike.
*Bang! Bang! Bang!*
With three muffled thuds, Ye Feng's palm struck the giant octopus's head.
The giant octopus's head was instantly thrown back by the palm strike, causing it to reel back two to three meters.
"Whoa! The power of this Wave Palm in the water is this strong?" Ye Feng was surprised by his own strike.
What Ye Feng didn't know was that many spirit skills were created based on natural laws and phenomena, and their power would greatly increase, even double, in specific environments.
However, before he could celebrate, the six large tentacles attacked him again. Ye Feng dodged repeatedly and then launched his own attacks.
It is said that octopuses are alien species, and their intelligence is not inferior to humans. Ye Feng finally understood this at this moment.
After being attacked by Ye Feng once, it learned its lesson. When attacking, it always kept two tentacles on defense, blocking every attempt Ye Feng made to attack.
"Damn it, is this guy really just an animal?" Ye Feng was greatly shocked.
At the same time, Ye Feng felt that his Sea God's power was being consumed at an alarming rate. If this continued, either Xiao Bai would be strangled to death, or he would be drained of his Sea God's power and killed.
Therefore, Ye Feng had to find a solution and couldn't just rush in recklessly.
However, the next second, he suddenly thought of something and slapped his own head: "Right, how could I forget this ability..."
