“What is this?”
“Is this a fish? Could it be a new species?”
“How have I never seen this kind of fish before?”
Upon seeing the scene in the fishing net, all the crew members and the captain’s eyes lit up.
For the huge fishing net was filled with numerous strange and bizarre fish.
It was completely packed. Around the outer edges, they spotted a fish with no fins, black and white all over, and a gaping maw. Having traveled the great oceans for years, they had never encountered anything like it.
No, calling it a fish didn't seem quite right; it was more akin to a land animal.
But let's not forget, they had hauled this up from the vast ocean.
This clearly indicated it was an aquatic creature, or perhaps even an amphibious one.
Of course, the most crucial point wasn’t whether it was aquatic or amphibious.
It was that they hadn’t seen this creature before, and not having seen it meant it was rare.
Rare creatures, if they could be sold, would fetch a high price.
“Quick, quick, haul this fish up!”
The burly captain stared for a while before shouting.
Several crew members responded and pulled the net with renewed vigor.
As the net drew closer, they got an even clearer view of this peculiar creature.
The peculiar creature didn’t resemble a fish at all. It looked ferocious, its body covered in tentacles, and its eyes were peculiar, like mirrors.
“Hahahaha!”
The captain burst into laughter. “I’ve been at sea for over thirty years, and I’ve never seen this creature!”
“It seems we’re going to strike it rich this time!”
Saying this, several crew members, under the captain’s command, rolled up their sleeves and ripped open the net, dumping all the fish out.
*Splash!*
The fish, wriggling and jumping, scattered across the deck. An even more astonishing scene unfolded.
As the fish broke free from their confinement, they all leaped away from the strange creature, creating a significant distance.
“I’ll go take a look!”
Seeing this, the captain’s exposed eye gleamed with excitement.
He then strode over. But no matter how he moved, the peculiar creature remained like a dead fish.
If not for the slight rise and fall of its belly, indicating it was breathing, many would have assumed it was already dead.
“Never mind, let’s just keep it for now.”
Seeing this, the captain’s interest waned. He turned and waved his hand.
“Huh? What are you guys looking at?”
As he spoke, the captain noticed that all the crew members before him were staring at him with expressions of horror.
“Cap… Captain… look behind you…”
One of the crew members stammered tremblingly.
“Is there something strange?” the captain asked, confused, and suddenly turned to look.
*Whoosh!*
Instantly, his face turned ashen.
He saw that the peculiar creature was standing upright behind him, its mirror-like eyes staring fixedly at him.
Its menacing posture was quite terrifying.
Fortunately, it was daytime. If it were night, they would have been scared half to death.
“Roar!”
Just then, this peculiar creature let out a roar.
“Where is this? The spiritual energy in this world is so abundant!”
Simultaneously, a cold voice echoed in everyone’s minds.
“Open fire, give them hell!”
Hearing this, everyone on the ship was terrified.
On Blue Star, a world experiencing spiritual resurgence and the frequent appearance of minor worlds.
Hearing the voice, they knew instantly that this peculiar creature was not from Blue Star.
“Fire!”
Dozens of crew members, despite their fear, suppressed their terror and raised their guns to shoot.
*Bang bang bang!*
Flames spurted out incessantly, and bullets rained down on the peculiar creature as if they were free.
But the bullets bounced off its body as if striking steel plates, scattering onto the ground.
“Ah! How dare you attack this Venerable One!”
“Bear my wrath!”
The peculiar creature roared, and its tentacles suddenly surged.
In an instant, they clamped around their necks.
“Ah! Ah! Ah!”
As the tentacles tightened, their faces turned a shade of deep purple.
They desperately tried to pry the tentacles open.
But it was to no avail.
On the contrary, the tentacles lifted them all into the air.
Moments later.
Everyone’s legs stiffened, and their hands went limp.
They had clearly lost their lives.
“Mmm, the spiritual energy in this world is so abundant! I like it very much.”
“I must report back to the leader immediately. They will be very excited when they learn of this place!”
The peculiar creature tossed the bodies aside like garbage, then sighed and plunged into the vast ocean.
*Splash!*
The peculiar creature sped across the vast ocean, its speed on the water surpassing that of a speeding car on land.
Xiao Er and Xiao Wu, hidden within the ship, watched this scene with wide-eyed horror.
“Quick… quick, call and notify them of an extraterrestrial invasion!”
Xiao Er shouted urgently, while Xiao Wu tremblingly picked up his phone.
“Hello, International Maritime Investigation Agency? I’ve discovered an extraterrestrial creature in the vast ocean, please send someone over quickly.”
“Oh, right, I’m the chef on the Sun Pirate ship. Our captain and all other crew members are dead, killed by this extraterrestrial creature!”
The two shouted in desperation, disregarding the consequences of their pirate identities calling for help.
Although they were pirates, they understood the potential casualties caused by the emergence of an unnoticed minor world.
While they were on the phone, a sudden voice echoed in both their minds.
Fear instantly washed over their faces.
Even the urgent calls from the phone seemed to be drowned out.
The next second!
Thick tentacles, like giant snakes, surged from the seabed, instantly binding the massive ship.
*Splash!*
As the tentacles tightened, the ship, like something made of paper, was instantly destroyed!
“A marvelous world!”
“You wait, I will conquer you!”
After doing all this, the tentacles rapidly contracted like springs to about a meter in length.
Then.
This peculiar creature dove headfirst into the vast ocean, disappearing without a trace.
The sea was calm, the sun shone brightly!
As if nothing had happened, the scene remained picturesque.
Except for the ship debris floating on the surface, silently testifying to what had transpired.
…
On a tall building elsewhere in the vast ocean.
An International Maritime Investigator held his phone, utterly bewildered.
“What’s wrong?”
A nearby investigator asked.
“Someone from the Sun Pirate ship just called, saying they saw an extraterrestrial creature.”
“And then… I heard a loud *bang*, and the call was disconnected…”
“This can’t be a prank, can it?” the investigator shook his head.
The Sun Pirates were the most sought-after pirates by the International Maritime Investigators.
But these pirates were cunning and resourceful. They had recently escaped from the investigators’ encirclement, so why would they call to report a crime?
Furthermore, the exits of various minor worlds were now controlled by armed forces from various countries.
This was to prevent the same fate as those destroyed nations.
Under such circumstances, how could any extraterrestrial creatures slip out?
