Chapter 99: Chapter 10: Setting the Trap

Chen Wen couldn’t help but think about catching octopuses.

However, during the conversation, Chen Wen learned from Du Feng that octopuses are not easy to catch barehanded.

They have swift movements underwater and can release ink to conceal themselves.

Some octopuses even stir up underwater sand to cover their retreat.

In some ways, they are very similar to humans.

Both play with intelligence.

Additionally, they have the home field advantage.

Hunting octopuses is quite challenging.

Chen Wen shook his head and noted this down.

No matter what, trying it out is necessary.

...

It’s afternoon.

Chen Wen spent the entire afternoon lying down.

The group had no objections.

After all, as the undisputed leader of the men’s team, everyone supported whatever Chen Wen wanted to do.

Anyone who didn’t support would be shown the cave full of food.

And then they’d support him.

Of course, Chen Wen wasn’t just sleeping while lying down.

As he lay down, he verified the effects of the entry.

As expected, the ”Alien Invasion” gave him a second mouth.

A mouth hidden in his throat, with sharp teeth!

A matching mouth like the alien.

Having an extra mouth felt quite peculiar.

Chen Wen tried it while the entry was active; this mouth was similar to his main mouth in many ways, but with some differences.

This mouth can retract!

It can extend from the throat, even past his original mouth, to pull in food for chewing.

For Chen Wen, this entry’s effect was ordinary.

At most, it made eating faster.

After all, two mouths can chew at twice the speed of a regular person.

But Chen Wen had a bizarre guess.

If he could transform, turning into a ferocious beast like a tiger or bear.

The extra mouth would make a huge difference!

Of course, this is for the future since there’s currently no transformation entry.

But based on Chen Wen’s predictions, once the Druid’s level continually rises, the entries will surely become more advanced.

By then, finding a transformation entry shouldn’t be difficult.

Aside from verifying the entry effect.

Chen Wen also pondered how to obtain the octopus entry.

The octopus’s high intelligence gave Chen Wen an urge to tame it.

But how should I say it?

Taming high-IQ animals might be tougher.

Besides, he has nothing to captivate the octopus.

And during the talk with Du Feng, Chen Wen learned the octopus has a very short lifespan.

Around one to two years, they die post-reproduction.

Du Feng deduced the octopus Chen Wen described seemed to be nearing the end of its life journey.

Taming an octopus in such a short time isn’t easy!

Thus, the remaining method seems to be hunting.

How to catch an octopus?

Chen Wen really wasn’t sure.

On the ship, Chen Wen and his team never specifically hunted octopuses.

”So difficult, taking a nap!”

Eventually, Chen Wen chose to nap and relax.

During dinner, Chen Wen continued discussing octopuses with Du Feng.

Du Feng, seeing Chen Wen’s interest in chatting, happily shared all he knew.

Through the conversation, Chen Wen learned more about octopuses.

But the more he learned, the harder he felt solving octopuses was.

Forget it, not thinking anymore!

Tomorrow, directly search for an octopus to see if it can be tamed or hunted for its entry!

...

The next day.

Chen Wen and Zhang Hu arrived at the seashore.

The two skillfully pushed the bamboo raft into the water, heading to the area where they found octopuses yesterday.

Once there, Chen Wen dove in, targeting the octopus.

In the reef area underwater, Chen Wen picked up a sea snail.

He clutched the sea snail and began searching for octopuses.

People often use finding a needle in the vast ocean to describe difficulty.

But today, Chen Wen challenged an even harder task—locating octopuses in the ocean!

Octopuses differ from needles, they move!

Additionally, there are quite a few octopuses around.

In a whole morning, Chen Wen spotted two octopuses.

But as soon as they saw Chen Wen, they didn’t hesitate and turned away.

Unlike the octopus that followed Chen Wen yesterday.

Also, their sizes were slightly different.

Frustrated, Chen Wen returned to the shelter.

During lunch, Chen Wen kept asking about octopus-related information.

Seeing Chen Wen’s keen interest in octopuses.

After hesitating for a while, Xiao Yong offered a helping hand from outside the field.

He quietly shared more octopus information with Chen Wen.

And by continuously gathering information.

Chen Wen discovered a neglected point!

Octopuses eat shellfish and snails!

And their eating method is peculiar, octopuses drill holes in the shells of sea snails or shellfish.

Then inject toxins, disable the defense mechanisms of the snail and shellfish, directly attacking the body.

Therefore, the seashells with holes scattered around the sea floor might indicate an octopus’s feeding area.

Octopuses are nocturnal creatures.

By day, they rest in the reef gaps near feeding zones, occasionally showing themselves but not aggressive.

But at night, they become ruthless killers.

Harvesting the lives of snails and shells.

Truly fascinating creatures.

Chen Wen thought about it and decided to start with abandoned sea snail and shell remains to trace the octopus’s presence.

Meanwhile, Chen Wen also noticed octopuses have an obsession with vessels.

If vessels can be found underwater, there’s a strong likelihood an octopus is hiding inside.

Fishermen also utilize this octopus trait for capture.

Backed by the information, Chen Wen devised a plan.

Come afternoon, returning to this water area.

Chen Wen quickly made a discovery.

Holes in shells were most abundant here.

Chen Wen tossed a shell onto the sea bed, observing the surroundings.

Many shells and snails stacked here.

As if intentionally left by something.

Sure enough, octopus!

Chen Wen prepared his trap—a series of rudimentary bottles cut using a dagger, each bottle tied with a colorful cloth strip.

He made these using Zhuo Hongnian’s sleeves at the camp.

After placing stones inside, Chen Wen left the traps underwater.

Taming isn’t hopeful anymore; now Chen Wen aims to catch the octopus through direct seizing.

After planting three traps in the region, Chen Wen surfaced for a rest.

...

The next day.

A morning weather change brought rain.

Chen Wen stayed at camp and joined Gan Tieshan to mount the tripod covered with banana leaves that Gan Tieshan prepared before onto the campfire.

This scaffold effectively preserves the campfire.

By noon.

The rain eased off.

Lv Guocheng returned with a small bucket of fish, while Lu Heng gathered some seafood from the fish trap at the weir.

Yan Bian’s beginner exploration of the mangroves yielded initial results.

He announced discovering a bay crocodile.

Hearing about the bay crocodile, the group showed no signs of fear.

Moreover, upon Chen Wen’s clarification that bay crocodiles aren’t protected animals, some young men appeared eager.

Yet, Chen Wen’s current focus is octopuses.

Using the crocodile’s large size and potential casualty risks, Chen Wen temporarily dispelled the group’s hunting crocodile plans.

Though Chen Wen didn’t eliminate their hopes entirely.

After brief discussion, Yan Bian decided to follow Chen Wen’s advice, opting to observe the crocodiles and ascertain their situation first.

Once sufficiently understood, they would then decisively act!
