It was not only because it was at the pinnacle of Stage 3, but also because the Giant Abyss Octopus was much stronger than a normal Stage 3 monster.
If they were not sure, the Giant Abyss Octopus lacked some unique characteristics of Stage 4 monsters.
Many people even thought that the Giant Abyss Octopus, King Kong, and the Skeleton Crawlers were Stage 4 Titans.
But that was not important. What was important was that the Giant Abyss Octopus sensed danger!
Following the captain's order, the Giant Abyss Octopus felt like a bull being teased before a bullfight.
With bloodshot eyes and heavy breathing, the soldiers took out their weapons and fired at the Giant Abyssal Octopus in a frenzy.
That was the captain's plan. The Giant Abyss Octopus was a terrifying creature with a strong desire to survive. In other words, the Giant Abyss Octopus bullied the weak and feared the strong, unlike the Titans.
What if it realized that it was going to die?
The Giant Abyss Octopus would definitely turn around and run. The underground river under the lake was evidence of its cowardice.
Therefore, from the very beginning, the captain had ordered that without his permission, no weapons of mass destruction were to be used. This was because the captain was very worried that the Giant Abyss Octopus would run into the lake and never come out again after seeing that the firepower was too strong.
To ensure that the Giant Abyss Octopus could be killed, the captain was even willing to sacrifice 34% of his men to exhaust the Giant Abyss Octopus' stamina and force it to leave the water source.
Just as the captain had predicted, the Giant Abyss Octopus' eyes flashed with confusion as they released their firepower. A large number of bullets were fired at it.
Even the skin on its body was torn apart in an instant. The bullets embedded in its muscles could only cause a small amount of damage.
But don't forget, even ants could kill an elephant when there were enough of them.
At first, the Giant Abyss Octopus did not panic.
The octopus simply believed that this was the final counterattack of the creatures known as humans. But gradually, the giant octopus began to sense danger. And then, one of its tentacles was cut off by the fierce cannon fire?
As the third overlord of Skull Island, the Giant Abyss Octopus chose to run away.
To be honest, he was a little cowardly. In fact, he was a little too cowardly.
However, the moment the Giant Abyssal Octopus turned its head, it was shocked to find that the most suitable escape route for itself was actually blocked by a dense forest.
In fact, the escape route of the giant abyssal octopus was also within the team leader's calculations.
If one had a bird's eye view, they would have noticed that after the Giant Abyss Octopus left the lake and entered the forest, its path was not straight. It was completely led by the nose by the humans.
This also meant that if they wanted to leave this place as quickly as possible, the Giant Abyssal Octopus would have to push down this hundred-meter-tall forest.
Although it was a little confused, the flustered Giant Abyssal Octopus did not care about these problems.
Its only thought was to return to its familiar and safe water source. As for these damned humans?
It wouldn't take long. In two or three years, it would make these humans pay the price in blood. But could it really escape?
In the face of the panicked Giant Abyss Octopus, the less than 1000 Merrican soldiers under their command frantically fired at it, as if they were venting their anger and roaring at the same time.
The bullets were filled with the pain of losing their comrades and the hatred for the monster in front of them. Blue flowers of blood bloomed on the body of the giant abyssal octopus.
Five minutes …
Ten minutes …
Twenty minutes …
In a huge ditch left behind by the Giant Abyssal Octopus, towering trees were uprooted and sticky liquid mixed with blue blood. As the third overlord of Skull Island, the Giant Abyssal Octopus felt exhausted at this moment.
A stinky gas was spewed out from the soft mouthpart of the Giant Abyssal Octopus. There was even a sticky foam-like liquid.
The injuries on its body were increasing and its body was getting more and more exhausted.
The Giant Abyssal Octopus did not give up. It was still struggling.
Finally, it successfully broke through the forest's obstruction and saw the familiar lake.
It would not take too long. Ten seconds. Just ten seconds and the Giant Abyssal Octopus would return to the safe water.
An angry roar came out from its hideous mouthpart. It was as if it was cursing the humans in front of it, but also as if it was telling the humans behind it, "Just wait.
The next time I appear, I'll definitely take away all of your lives. "
However, looking at the excited Giant Abyssal Octopus that was about to escape, the team leader was not disappointed.
The captain, who was not far away, was not disappointed in the slightest. He seemed to have known that this would happen. At this moment, he waved his hand with a resolute expression.
"You can detonate it now!"
"Rumble!"
Flames rose into the sky. The crimson flames mixed with black smoke and covered the frozen smile of the Giant Abyssal Octopus.
The high-concentration liquid bomb was equivalent to the explosion of 1,700 tons of TNT, which was close to the explosion of Little Boy.
The warriors behind the Giant Abyssal Octopus were not the real trump card of the team leader. The explosion in front of them was the fatal blow that the team leader had prepared for the Giant Abyssal Octopus.
At the moment of the explosion, the Giant Abyssal Octopus instinctively curled up its body and wrapped its thick tentacles tightly around its body. Unfortunately, an explosion of this level could even severely injure King Kong and Skeleton Crawlers, not to mention the Giant Abyssal Octopus that was only in the third stage and had been severely injured before.
Under the high temperature, the protein structure of the muscles changed. In other words, it was roasted, but what followed was scorched.
Almost instantly, the smell of roasted octopus and octopus being roasted rose up from the lake like a smell bomb.
The huge body of the Giant Abyssal Octopus was blown away. A huge pit appeared at the place where the explosion occurred. Much of the lake water flowed into the ditch left by the Giant Abyssal Octopus.
Perhaps many years later, this place would become another lake.
Looking at the lifeless corpse of the Giant Abyssal Octopus, a smile appeared on the team leader's face. However, just as the team leader took a step forward, Colonel Conrad suddenly raised his head and pressed on the team leader's shoulder.
"I'm sorry, you can't come close."
Dong Bing frowned subconsciously. He looked at Conrad with an unfriendly expression and asked, "You want to …"
But before Dong Bing could finish, he felt a chill on his back. Jimmy smiled and put his hand on Dong Bing's shoulder. "If I told you that the thing on your back was a wine pot, would you believe me?"
On the other hand, the team leader did not panic at all in the face of everything that had happened. Instead, he looked as if he had expected this to happen.
He sighed and said, "This should be General Ross's idea, right?"
Conrad took a deep breath. Although there was guilt in his eyes, his gaze was firm. "I'm very grateful for your guidance in the past two days, but I'm a soldier. Besides, I have to think for my subordinates."
If possible, Conrad did not want to be like this, but he had no choice. Conrad was just a colonel.
Before coming, Conrad had thought of talking to the team leader, and even wanted to tell the Twilight Society everything. But looking at the team leader's calm expression now?
Conrad gradually understood why the team leader had refused.
It was not that he did not think of it, but the team leader already had an answer.
However, looking at Conrad in front of him and the six to seven hundred soldiers approaching from afar, the team leader's expression was very calm, so calm that it made people feel uneasy.
"Do you really think I don't know anything?"
Conrad frowned. Considering the team leader's quick-wittedness in the past two days, he could not help but feel a little uneasy.
"What do you mean?"
Could it be that the team leader still had a backup plan?
That shouldn't be the case.
He had been with the team leader for the past two days. He had no time to prepare a backup plan.
But the next moment, the team leader shook his head and sighed. "You may have forgotten. Apart from being an excellent general, I'm also an excellent superhero!"
In an instant, an aura that was not inferior to the Giant Abyssal Octopus but not inferior to the Stage Three monsters rose from the team leader's body.
The team leader had once said that he did not trust others, only himself.
At his peak, the team leader had an important position in the three forces of Wakanda, S.H.E.L.D., and Merrica. How strong was the team leader?
Even Dong Bing, who was the closest to him, did not know.
However, just when everyone thought that another fierce battle was about to break out, there was a ripple in the air.
A creature that was 52 meters long and somewhat similar to a dinosaur appeared eerily by the lake. Then, a voice of surprise came from the creature's mouth. "The giant octopus is dead?
I thought there was going to be a fight. "
The ferocious head scanned the surroundings, the huge beast eyes flashing with indifference. Feeling the gazes of the people around him, Nagini frowned slightly. "If there's nothing else, you may leave."
