Brian:...
His current form, if using a small octopus as a reference, was probably just over a meter long.
The large octopus that the small one had called over, however, was easily five or six meters long.
Some things are just unbeatable.
Just as Brian was preparing to show some flexibility and act subservient in the face of a superior power...
Smack—
The Big Octopus actually slapped its own offspring with a tentacle, flipping it over in the seabed sand and bellowed, "This little thing is as big as you are, and you can't even win? You still have the nerve to call your old mother for help. You good-for-nothing, I would have been better off giving birth to a sea cucumber than to you..."
What followed was a torrent of scolding, verbally assaulting the little octopus whose small tentacles all curled up together, shivering with fear and helplessness...
Brian nearly laughed his tentacles off at this scene.
The parental love is universal; the Big Octopus was no exception.
