Luckily, these octopuses did not continue their chase like before, they stopped after driving them a few hundred metres away and retreated.
Finally, everyone had a chance to catch their breath.
"Obviously, they've gained control over these octopuses..." the Son of Heaven explained.
"How is that possible?" Jack looked over incredulously, though these octopuses were not high-ranking, there were thousands of them. How much energy would it take to control so many octopuses at once?
"It has nothing to do with energy, I guess it's because of the heart in their hands..."
"Heart?"
"Yes, that's what he risked his life to get from the thatched temple."
Son of Heaven smiled bitterly, "we can't be sure what heart it is yet, but obviously it has some relationship with these octopuses. Whoever gets the heart, can gain the power to control these octopuses!"
"Damn, are we doomed?" Jack was shocked.
