Chapter 5: Octopus

“The f*ck! They shouldn’t know how to climb trees, right?” Noah muttered.

Noah ran to the tree and jumped directly onto the trunk above him. Then he climbed up the trunk.

Soon, the octopuses caught up. Fortunately, Noah made the right bet. Although the tentacles of the octopus could allow them to walk on land, they could not climb trees.

When a group of octopuses saw Noah climb up the tree, they anxiously circled under the tree, making more urgent sounds and looking a little exasperated.

Noah also heaved a sigh of relief. He would just delay it for now. This group of ghostly things could not just keep him alone.

However, he underestimated the patience of these octopuses. They could not climb up the tree, so they simply stayed under the tree. Just like Noah, this human could not possibly stay on the tree alone.

Just as the two sides were in a stalemate, a bird’s cry suddenly came from the sky. Noah did not react, but the group of octopuses looked as if they had seen a ghost. They no longer dared to be in a stalemate with Noah and returned to the beach at a faster speed, wanting to return to the sea.

Noah slowly climbed to the top of the tree, poked his head out, and then he saw a shocking scene…

A bolt of lightning suddenly streaked across the clear sky.

However, when Noah took a closer look, he found that it was not a real lightning, but a bird wrapped in golden lightning. It was a bird that Noah had never seen before. It looked extremely magical. It looked similar to the birds on Earth, but this bird was more majestic.

Not to mention the strange lightning on its body, just its wings alone were nearly six to seven meters wide, and its body was nearly three meters long. In fact, it was a giant eagle!

With a screech that resounded through the sky, the giant eagle swooped down toward the countless octopuses on the beach like a bomber plane.

Unlike the hunting methods of all birds Noah had seen before, the lightning eagle did not use its sharp claws or beak to prey on these big-eyed monsters. Instead, when it was about to touch the ground, its wings would release electric arcs, which turned into a grid of electricity. In less than a minute, nearly a hundred octopuses were directly roasted by the electric arcs and left on the beach forever.

In the end, less than twenty octopuses returned to the ocean.

The eagle did not bother the octopus that had returned to the ocean too much. The octopus on the beach was enough for it to have a full meal.

Soon, the giant eagle began to enjoy the delicious buffet.

After being roasted by the electric arc, a faint fragrance even reached Noah.

Seeing the giant eagle gobbling down the meat, Noah also wanted to rush out and enjoy the delicious roasted octopus meat. However, when he thought about how fierce the giant eagle was, Noah held back. He only hoped that the giant eagle would leave some behind.

Finally, the giant eagle on the beach seemed to be satisfied with its meal. After combing its fur, it flew away.

However, Noah did not go out immediately. He was afraid that once he went out, the giant eagle would suddenly return. He could still escape if he was chased by the octopus, but if he was targeted by those fierce birds, he would probably lose his life.

After waiting for a long time and not seeing the giant eagle again, Noah got down from the tree and carefully came to the beach.

More than half of the octopuses had been eaten by the giant eagle, leaving only a few that had not been touched. However, one or two of them were enough for Noah to eat.

Moreover, after being roasted by the giant eagle’s electric arc, the octopus’s meat was cooked, saving Noah a lot of effort.

Noah immediately tore off a tentacle and began to chew.

“Oh! Delicious!” Noah had never eaten such delicious meat before. Every bite was full of elasticity and a hint of sweetness.

Noah, who was already famished, could not care less and began to gobble up.

He thought that one or two of these big octopuses was Noah’s limit, but Noah ate nearly ten before he felt full!

“When did my appetite become so big?” Just as Noah was eating happily, the octopus that had just survived reappeared on the beach.

Seeing these octopuses, Noah was nervous. These octopuses would not vent their anger on him, right?

Noah perked up and was ready to escape if something went wrong.

However, to his surprise, the group of octopuses did not pay attention to him. Instead, they guarded the corpses of their own kind.

To be honest, even Noah was moved by this scene. Just as he was about to exclaim how cruel nature was, the surviving octopuses actually reached out their tentacles and stabbed them into the dead octopuses’ bodies. It looked like they were eating.

“They’re eating their friends?” Noah felt an inexplicable sense of disgust.

However, the school of octopuses no longer paid attention to him, which was something worth rejoicing over.

After enjoying the bodies of their own people, the surviving octopuses returned to the ocean…

Unknowingly, the sky had darkened. Noah was extremely lucky to find a small cave under a stone wall near the forest. It was already so late, so he could only stay here for the night and find a way to leave tomorrow.

Before night fell, Noah searched for many dead branches and wood in the forest. Fortunately, he did not watch the wilderness survival show for nothing. Before night fell, Noah started a fire. Looking at the rising flames in front of him, Noah’s heart was more at ease.

Soon, night fell and a ray of light suddenly flashed. Noah curiously came to the entrance of the cave and found that the strange forest was now covered in a thin layer of fog. In the fog, there were countless purple lights like fish, constantly shuttling through the forest.

“What’s that?” Noah was very curious about what kind of creature it looked like.

On the other side, the light of the galaxy shone on the sea. Noah turned around and saw the stars in the sky. The Milky Way could be seen with the naked eye, but it shouldn’t be called the Milky Way. After all, this might not even be the Milky Way.

Everything around Noah was extremely novel to him. He looked up at the stars until late at night. As time passed, the stars showed a different view. What fascinated Noah the most was that he could clearly see the outline of another planet through the stars!

All of this was reminding him that he was in another world!
