Chapter 581: Arriving Nearby

"I'll just be a burden to you if I follow. Why don't I just stay here and wait for you all!"

As he said this, the man began to sob. Given the degree of rolling just now, staying here would likely mean certain death.

"Since I brought you out, I will definitely bring you back when the time comes."

Ye Su reached out and propped up the crew member. A warm current rose in everyone's hearts. Watching Ye Su's figure walking forward, everyone hurriedly followed.

Professor Bill hurriedly stepped forward to lead the way. The group groped in the darkness for a long time, and they could even feel a powerful vibration in the dark.

A look of excitement also appeared on Professor Bill's face.

"That's right, it's here, the place where the heartbeat is most intense!"

"Professor, did you make a mistake? We are looking for the octopus's gill gland, not its heart!"

Hearing Ye Su's question, the professor laughed: "It's here, no mistake. The octopus's gills and heart are not far apart. What you wouldn't expect is that it has two hearts, one gill heart and one systemic heart."

Bill excitedly pulled Ye Su and said: "Su, hurry and break open a hole here, and we will be able to see this octopus's heart. It's simply hard to believe. How powerful must this heart be to pump blood to the entire body of this octopus while resisting so much pressure!"

Hearing this, Ye Su put down the crew member beside him, took out the harpoon, and swung it hard toward the top of his head. Ye Su pulled on the rope to feel it; it was very secure!

He then quickly climbed upward. Perhaps because they were close to the heart, there was significantly more blood here than in other locations. The splashing blood also caused the people below to dodge to the side.

At this time, because it wasn't convenient, Ye Su's speed was significantly slower this time.

Ye Su slashed while moving forward. The hole cut this time was even larger. After changing the harpoon again, Ye Su suddenly felt that something was not quite right.

He hurriedly shouted downward:

"Hurry and hold onto the rope!"

The crowd, not knowing what was happening, hurriedly ran toward the rope behind the harpoon. However, because they were further away, several people hadn't reacted before the octopus began to shake violently again.

And in the middle of the sticky liquid, the few people without a foothold disappeared into the darkness before they could react.

Ye Su didn't expect this situation. He had just been saying that he would bring people back safely, but he didn't expect to break his promise so soon.

Ye Su swung the machete in his hand crazily. If only he could be a little faster.

It could be considered that great strength works miracles. Under Ye Su's frantic slashing, he suddenly felt his blade swing into empty air. He hurriedly said to the people still struggling on the rope:

"Everyone, hold on. The hole has been opened."

Ye Su slashed with all his might a few more times and finally succeeded in opening a hole large enough for one person to crawl through.

There was no time to expand it further. Ye Su hurriedly pulled the rope toward himself. Fortunately, the octopus was rolling randomly; otherwise, the people on the rope wouldn't have been able to hold on for long.

Ye Su had just pulled one person over, a crew member. Ye Su pushed him to crawl through, but then the octopus did a flip, and that person simply disappeared.

Ye Su was directly stunned. He didn't expect that he would personally send someone away. The few people behind the rope crashed over due to inertia, almost knocking the breath out of Ye Su.

Ye Su knew this was a good opportunity and hurriedly grabbed the last person on the rope and filled them in. By analogy, he saw that there were still two people left.

Consequently, the octopus rolled again, disrupting Ye Su's plan. Ye Su pushed one of the people with all his might, but who knew the other person would lose their footing and directly let go of the rope...

Ye Su didn't expect this situation, but both his hands were occupied. Before his brain could react, Ye Su instinctively clamped that person with his legs.

Ye Su came to his senses and broke into a cold sweat. Fortunately, his body's instinct was faster than his brain; otherwise, one more person would have been lost.

Ye Su could feel that person climbing upward along his legs, but because of the posture, that person could only squeeze upward a little bit.

Ye Su hadn't reacted yet, but later he discovered that the other party seemed to be climbing a bit arduously.

Ye Su thought, if he could let go of his legs, the other party might fall down, especially since he couldn't see the other party in the darkness.

Ye Su hurriedly said downward: "Give me your hand, I'll pull you up!"

In the darkness, Ye Su vaguely touched a pair of hands, small palms. Ye Su immediately understood that this person should be the last woman who was supposed to follow him.

Ye Su pulled her hand over. There were thick calluses on the web of her delicate little hand, which once again made Ye Su guess that this woman's identity was not simple.

Ye Su used one hand to pull her up a distance, then used his legs to clamp her waist again to prevent her from falling.

After resting his hand for a moment, Ye Su pushed her back to help her climb up. Soon, he sent her up. Who knew she would throw herself directly into Ye Su's arms.

Ye Su just wanted to move, but who knew she would lean against his ear and breathe like silk:

"Don't move, let me lie here for a while, I have no strength left."

Ye Su touched her wet back. It seemed she really must have been exhausted; she had actually broken out in so much sweat. ===== CHAPTER 583 =====
