Chapter 2945: Octopus Brother

The appearance of the strongest sea beast was really unexpected; it turned out to be an octopus that was not very large in size.

Su Xiao looked at the octopus in the sea. His previous inference about the strongest sea beast did not seem accurate now. After all, he was not omniscient and omnipotent, and there were times when he inferred wrongly.

"I've been looking for you for a long time. Why are you running around the world with the ancestor's horn! My tentacles are sore from swimming! Other sea beasts didn't dare to look for you, so I had to look for you myself."

The octopus in the sea... let's call it Octopus Brother for now. After all, this guy claimed to have lived for 209 years.

Octopus Brother was very angry. Listening to its meaning, it seemed that it didn't need to piece the Sea King horn together to lure it; just obtaining one section of the horn was enough.

Su Xiao felt that his main quest had deviated somewhat; he seemed to have skipped a certain link.

"What is your purpose in looking for us?"

Baha looked at Octopus Brother with full confusion, and Octopus Brother glared.

"I'll get on the ship first and then talk. Finally, there's a sober Captain of the *Doom*, but he's driving the *Doom* around the world. Do you know how long I've been looking for you?"

Octopus Brother crawled from the side of the ship. It climbed onto the ship's rail, and after a tentacle straightened, it landed on the deck with a *plop*.

"I have cooperated with three sober Captains of the *Doom*, and they all failed. Only one almost succeeded. It's a pity that he was also completely eroded by the curse power in the end."

Octopus Brother's words were confusing, but through its narration, Su Xiao understood what was going on.

First were the three Soul Arrows on Octopus Brother's body. These were treasures. Although they didn't have magical effects, they were also treasures. Each of these three Soul Arrows had the effect of pointing the way. The islands they pointed to had secrets about lifting the Magic Sea curse.

On a certain island, there was a stone cup. This was not the key. The key lay in the water overflowing from the stone cup. That was 'Primordial Water', similar to the source of the Magic Sea, but there was very little of it.

Others who drank this thing could obtain a long life, conservatively estimated at several hundred years, and long ones could reach a thousand years, and could control the Magic Sea to a certain extent. They couldn't control the entire Magic Sea, but they could control a certain sea area.

In the Magic Sea World, this was a terrifying power. For example, controlling a sea area to form a tsunami, drowning islands, etc. With this power, dominating the Magic Sea was not difficult. That was truly: those who follow me prosper, those who oppose me perish.

This power reminded Su Xiao of the world introduction of the Magic Sea. At the beginning of the world introduction, it said that the Magic Sea was drowning islands, and even continents.

Could this be interpreted as someone having drunk a massive amount of 'Primordial Water', reaching the level of being able to completely control the Magic Sea, and then that person intended to let the Magic Sea drown everything?

Why that person did this was already impossible to know. The only known thing was that that person was once located inside the Great Vortex at the end of the Magic Sea.

The third captain of the *Doom* once drove the *Doom* into the Great Vortex. His purpose should have been to kill that person. It could be seen from the fact that the sea level of the Magic Sea dropped afterward that the third captain succeeded.

Unaccountably wanting to drown the continent, and then waiting foolishly inside the Great Vortex to be killed, this was somewhat unexplainable. If that person tried to stop it, the *Doom* would have no possibility of approaching the Great Vortex.

The only explanation was that because that person drank too much 'Primordial Water', he had been assimilated by the Magic Sea and lost his ability to think and judge. The desires, greed, desire for control, and other emotions remaining in his heart prompted the sea level of the Magic Sea to rise continuously, making this world only have sea. In this way, it temporarily satisfied the desires in that person's heart. Human desires... are infinite, more terrifying than the Magic Sea.

The Magic Sea had no consciousness and emotions, but it and the assimilated person had them, which contributed to the disaster history of the Magic Sea World.

These were not the key points. The key point lay in the small amount of 'Primordial Water' on a certain island. The Magic Sea energy contained in this thing was so huge that it was unbelievable.

Magic Sea gold coins could gradually lift the seal of the *Doom*, which was through the scouring of Magic Sea energy. Thinking from another perspective, Magic Sea energy concentrated to the point of liquefaction, that is, 'Primordial Water', could it scour away the Magic Sea curse on the *Doom*?

Scouring away the curse of the *Doom* through 'Primordial Water', in this way, the curse on Su Xiao would also dissipate.

This was not Su Xiao's conjecture, but a feasible way given by Octopus Brother. A captain of the *Doom* once obtained a few drops of 'Primordial Water' and poured it onto the deck of the *Doom*. The result was that the curse of the *Doom* was scoured away by a part, but because the quantity of 'Primordial Water' was too small, not long after, the curse power in the *Doom* recovered.

This was because the quantity was not enough. If the quantity was enough, the Magic Sea curse on the *Doom* could be completely lifted.

And Octopus Brother was the guardian of that island. The Soul Arrows on its body were shackles and also road signs. To be precise, Octopus Brother had never guarded that island. The ones who guarded it were Octopus Brother's ancestors.

A great pirate once discovered that island. It was impossible to take away the stone cup on the island. The stone cup was connected to the ley lines on the island and went deep into the seabed, so 'Primordial Water' could gradually gather in the stone cup.

That great pirate, in order to keep this secret, let the pirates under his command catch the strongest sea beast of that era, used Soul Arrows to control it, enslaved the strongest sea beast, made it unable to stay far away from that island, and threatened the strongest sea beast that if it dared to leave, the Soul Arrows would tear its soul.

Complete restraint would only have the opposite effect. That great pirate cut off a horn of the strongest sea beast, divided it into three sections, and told the strongest sea beast that each section of the horn could lift one Soul Arrow, giving it a glimmer of hope.

That great pirate dominated the Magic Sea for a long time after drinking 'Primordial Water' and was finally poisoned to death.

That great pirate died, and Octopus Brother's ancestors suffered. Soon, a turning point came. Soul Arrows were things nailed to the soul. Every time the strongest sea beast of a generation died, the Soul Arrows would be transferred to the next generation.

After 'inheriting' for several generations, Octopus Brother's ancestors discovered that the Soul Arrows could no longer restrain them. Pulling them out was impossible, but they could already leave the sea area around the island.

In this way, the Soul Arrows were inherited generation after generation, all the way to Octopus Brother.

"That's it. Give me the three sections of the horn, and I can pull out the three Soul Arrows on my body. The Soul Arrows are related to something on that island. Put it in the seawater, and the direction the arrow tip points to is the location of that island."

Octopus Brother was full of eagerness. In fact, it was confused inside now. Happiness came too suddenly. It had prepared to control the same-race sea beasts with mental power to help the Captain of the *Doom* seize the Sea King horn.

It was not needed at all now. All three sections of the horn were in the hands of the Captain of the *Doom*.

Combined with Octopus Brother's narration and his own conjecture, Su Xiao straightened out the ins and outs of the matter.

First, the first section of the Sea King horn was the entry point. After he obtained the first section of the Sea King horn, he could cooperate with Octopus Brother to seize the remaining two sections of the Sea King horn.

Because Su Xiao developed too fast, he didn't see Octopus Brother at all before. He was busy dealing with various parties and chaotic battles, which really tired Octopus Brother. It had been chasing behind, and sometimes it lost its target after chasing, which was when the *Doom* returned to Mingguang Island. Octopus Brother felt bitter inside.

The Reincarnation Paradise would not issue tasks that could not be completed. According to normal development: Su Xiao first seized the first section of the Sea King horn, then united with Octopus Brother to deal with the West Sea King, Twin Towers Empress, etc., and seized the Sea King horn section by section.

Afterward, it was trading: three sections of the Sea King horn in exchange for three Soul Arrows, through these three Soul Arrows to find the location of that island, land on the island, find 'Primordial Water', and lift the curse of the *Doom* through 'Primordial Water'.

In this process, Su Xiao had to cooperate sincerely with Octopus Brother, go through heavy dangers, and reach the final transaction: three sections of the Sea King horn in exchange for three Soul Arrows.

But, the real situation was not like this. Su Xiao pierced through the West Sea King, and Octopus Brother was chasing behind, doubting its fish life.

There was no cooperation, and no heavy dangers experienced together. The ferocity and recklessness Su Xiao showed when dealing with the West Sea King made the Twin Towers Empress feel scalp-numb. Not to mention the Twin Towers Empress, even the Duke couldn't sleep well.

Originally it was *Doom* + Octopus Brother vs West Sea King + Twin Towers Empress, but this scene did not appear. The real situation was that Su Xiao was cleaning up the West Sea King in front, and Octopus Brother was chasing behind. The funny thing was, it hadn't caught up yet.
