Chapter 4 Undersea Giants

He immediately retracted his tentacles, leaving only two outside, and slowly swam in the direction of the moray eel. This moray eel was just over 1 meter long, weighed about 20 kilograms, and had black and yellow markings all over its body. At that moment, the moray eel was devouring a small turtle, its head inside the turtle's shell as it feasted on the flesh and blood within.

When Noah approached, the eel didn't notice. When he got within 3 meters of the moray eel, he suddenly shot out six tentacles and bound them around the moray eel's body. "Bah bang bang!" The suction cups on the tentacles immediately adhered to the moray eel, rolling it up tightly and completely ensnaring it.

Only then did the moray eel realize it was trapped. It struggled with all its might in an attempt to free itself from the tentacles. "Hehe, little guy, you can't run away now!" Noah said with a mischievous grin. After all, it's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge even after ten years. Well, this time it's on the same day!

The moray eel soon realized it couldn't break free and became frantic, biting Noah's tentacles. Blue blood seeped from his tentacles, and the pain shot through Noah's mind. "Crap! It hurts! You dare bite me!" Noah retorted fiercely. He swung the moray eel's body and smashed it against a nearby reef. "Bang bang bang!" The impact was so powerful, the reef was shattered.

The moray eel fell unconscious. Looking at his immobile prey, Noah placed it into his shell. He then bit through the moray eel's head, his hundreds of sharp teeth quickly severing it. 

A notification chimed, "Ding! The host gets 1.5 energy points by swallowing 'Moray Eel'! " Quite a lot of energy points. 1.5 points in a single bite, not bad for getting injured and subduing you. He then consumed the whole moray eel and felt full, unable to swallow more. He stretched out his tentacles and swam towards the depths of a reef, stopping. "It's nice here. It should be hard to find. Let's sleep here first," Noah stated calmly.

After being hunted and evolving since his rebirth as an octopus, it was time to take a break. His entire body contracted into his shell, which slowly closed, and he fell asleep.

In Kyoto, Dragon Kingdom, in a conference room, six people in different attire were seated. Three elderly men wore Mao suits. Two middle-aged men were in military uniforms, and the last was a young woman in a suit. 

"Chief, according to reports from various regions, not only have our country's animals mutated, but similar occurrences are happening in other countries too," reported the middle-aged man in uniform. The leading elderly man frowned slightly, "Do you have any specific information or images?" 

The young woman nodded, "Chief, everyone, please watch this video." The footage, shot at a zoo, zoomed in on a tiger. Originally an adult Siberian tiger, it tripled in size in just a few hours, and its skin turned black and white. 

The mutated tiger easily jumped over the 5-meter-high fence and then attacked tourists. The steel guardrails of the sightseeing vehicles were torn apart by its claws. No one in the vehicles survived; everyone was killed by the mutated tiger.

Later, the zoo's security team attempted to subdue the tiger with a tranquilizer gun, but it ended up killing three more security guards. Tranquilizers were ineffective, only slightly slowing it down. In the end, local troops were called in to deal with the mutated tiger. The horrific video of the tiger attacking people made everyone shudder.

"Chief, this kind of incident is not accidental. There are similar situations happening across our country," the young woman continued. "Among them, domestic dogs are mutating. Fortunately, domestic dogs are relatively docile, still listen to their owners, and have not harmed anyone."

At this moment, another older man nearby remarked, "Number 1, it seems we need to make plans in advance!" The older man leading the meeting did not immediately respond but instead fell into deep thought. After a moment, he said, "First, have the military regions cooperate with local governments to handle mutant animals. Try to suppress media reports from various sectors. Additionally, launch the 'Fortress Project!'"

"Yes!" everyone agreed in unison.

A few hours later, Noah awoke from his shell and noticed his body had grown slightly larger. He began to view his Property Page:

[Energy Points: 325]

"Huh? I only had 305 energy points before going to sleep. Why did I gain 20 energy points after sleeping for several hours?" he wondered. His weight and size had also increased slightly. "If I keep getting bigger, this shell won't hold me!" he thought. "Do I need to go to the deep sea to find a bigger shell? Forget it, let's accumulate evolution points first!"

He went to the reef and preyed on numerous shrimp and crabs, his energy points rapidly growing until they reached 400. Feeling satisfied, he asked, "Are you full now? Then there is a catch! Evolve immediately!" Noah immediately swam out of the shell to start evolving.

[Ding! Would the host like to use 200 'Energy Points' to grow to adulthood?]

"Yes!" 

After ten seconds of growth, his body expanded further, although he wasn't very hungry at this time, so he continued to evolve. 

[Ding! Would the host like to use 200 'Energy Points' to grow to maturity?]

"Yes!"

Another ten seconds passed, and his body grew from approximately 2 meters to ten meters in length.

At this time, he had become a behemoth of the ocean, a ten-meter-long giant octopus weighing 300 kilograms. His eight tentacles danced up and down like enormous telegraph poles, and rocks on the reef shattered instantly when struck by them, even with an unintentional touch. "Who else am I afraid of now besides sperm whales? Haha!" Noah laughed arrogantly.
