Just like this, under the terrifying shadow of the big octopus, the residents of Sea Peak Island cowered on the land, not daring to go out to sea at all, fearing that they might accidentally become fertilizer pulled out by that monster.
After a month, there were people who could not sit still. It was too torturous! If he didn't go out fishing to subsidize his family, his family wouldn't even bother to visit him.
A few men from poor families gritted their teeth and carried their fishing equipment to the port. They then boarded a small boat and set out to sea.
No matter what, he would die. He would either starve to death or be killed. He still had a wife and children to raise at home. As a man, no matter what, he had to support his family.
They were all prepared to meet and be eaten by the deep sea demon octopus, but after a few hours, the shallow water was calm, and they didn't meet that man-eating monster at all. After catching some fish, they safely landed on land.
This caused them to be inexplicably surprised, as if the heavens were blessing them!
The next day, the third day, they bravely continued to sea, but they still returned safely.
This time, they cheered and told the good news to everyone in the town.
Everyone saw that those people were fine for a few days and wondered if the octopus had left. After all, the octopus was a deep-sea animal, so even if it stayed in the shallow water for a long time, it would still feel uncomfortable.
Thus, everyone mustered up their courage and went out to sea. After a day of peace and quiet, they returned home full of rewards.
Two days later, it was still safe.
Three days, four days …
Suddenly, everyone cried out in joy. The sea around the island regained its former vitality, as if nothing had happened.
However, within a few days, the catastrophe struck again!
Of the people who went to sea, seven of them went missing just like before …
The next day it was all right again, but a day or two later someone else disappeared again.
Hai Feng Island was thrown into panic again, but at that moment, while everyone was still worried, the mayor's eldest son, Min Qi, came back.
