After becoming an octopus

Zhang Zexi had a dream.

In the dream, my whole body was wrapped in sea water, and I appeared among the coral groups on the bottom of the sea.

He hibernates in a crevice of a rock, surrounded by various sea creatures passing by in a hurry.

A group of zebra jellyfish swam past him, and Zhang Zexi subconsciously chased them out. The zebra jellyfish was one of the unknown species photographed by a detection instrument at a depth of [-] meters more than ten years ago. Zhang Zexi's father has been working hard to find An unknown creature on the bottom of the sea, if I can catch one, my father will be very happy.

It's a pity that Zhang Zexi didn't catch a fish, but met a gray sixgill shark. The gray sixgill shark's swimming speed is not fast, but it is very big. Compared with the other party, it is as small as a tiny sand.

The first time he saw this huge monster, he chose to run away. When he was about to control his limbs, he realized that his limbs had become long strips like tentacles, with two rows of suction cups growing underneath.

He couldn't help being stunned for a while, the gray sixgill shark chased after him, Zhang Zexi stared wide-eyed at his whole head being engulfed by its big mouth, and his eyes were pitch black...

Zhang Zexi didn't know how long he had been in a coma, but he obviously relaxed a lot when he saw the familiar bathroom ceiling and surrounding furnishings. The environment he was in at this time was enough to prove that the adventure at the bottom of the sea just now could only be a dream.

My still-awake mind recalled what had happened. I was struck by lightning while taking a bath in the bathtub, and my life survived. During my coma, I had a dream of an underwater adventure.

He was about to let out a breath, only to realize that he had exhaled a bubble, but the position of the bubble was a bit strange, so he felt that the place where he exhaled was not his mouth but the neck below the eyes?

At this time, even though he was not clear-headed, he understood that the situation was different. He hurriedly wanted to get up from the bathtub, raised his hand and swung a limp tentacle on the edge of the bathtub.

The brightly colored orange-red tentacles stand out on the white bathtub, and there are suction cups under the tentacles, firmly grasping the bathtub.

Zhang Zexi's first reaction was that she had a dream within a dream.

Otherwise, how could octopus claws appear on his body?

He closed his eyes, hoping to wake up from the dream when he opened them again.

When I opened my eyes, the octopus claws on the edge of the bathtub were still there.

The octopus floated on the surface of the water a little discouraged, thinking about how he became what he is now. Could it be possible to transform when drunk and struck by lightning?

He felt that he should find a way to contact his father, and maybe find a way to restore himself.

As soon as he retracted the tentacles from the edge of the bathtub, there was a strong suction from the bottom of the bathtub.

The drain plug at the bottom of the bathtub had come off at some point.The process of water discharge caused the water in the bathtub to vortex, and the orange-red octopus was sucked in by the small bathtub drain.

Zhang Zexi could feel his body being squeezed to the extreme when he passed through the drain. After passing the narrowest circle, the space suddenly opened up, and the light from the drain gradually disappeared. Before his eyes completely fell into darkness, what was in his heart? Panicked and terrified, even if he turns into an octopus, he doesn't want to disappear into the black and smelly sewer at all, let alone let the sewer become his burial place!

……

There will always be various adventures in life, and you never know what you will encounter and what you will become in the next second.

Just like Zhang Zexi, who never met his mother since he was a child, and his father is busy with work and can't stay home. He finally pulled himself up through stumbling, and only yesterday celebrated with his friends that he entered the world of adults. Today he Inexplicably, it turned into an octopus, and at this moment, it was still aggrieved to hide in this dark and narrow stone crevice.

If women are all made of water, Zhang Zexi's current state is far beyond the reach of a collection of ten women. Which woman can be as soft as him, and there is no discomfort when stuffed in the irregular crevices of rocks. The only thing that can do this is plasticine.

Through the cracks in the rocks, you can see the colorful corals outside and the clownfish living in this coral city.

Zhang Zexi cheered up instantly. Most clownfish live in the sea at a depth of 1 to 55 meters. The traces of clownfish can be seen here, which means that he may not be far from the coast.

Although he doesn't know why he became an octopus and how he fell into the sea from the drain of the bathtub, he still firmly believes that he is a human being because the world he sees is colorful.

In his cognition, octopus and squid should be color blind, and the world he can see is no different from what humans can see visually.

After the initial period of confusion, Zhang Zexi had to pull himself together to survive and find a way to leave the sea.

A tentacle with a suction cup slid out of the rock crevice, and then other parts of Zhang Zexi's body also squeezed out of the rock crevice.

Zhang Zexi couldn't see the whole body of her body, and couldn't tell what kind of octopus she had turned into, but compared with the size of a clownfish, her octopus head was about [-] centimeters in diameter, equivalent to The length of two adult clownfish.As for how long the octopus' claws are stretched out, he can't accurately measure it with his eyes.

Humans who are used to walking on two legs suddenly use their tentacles to move, which inevitably makes them a little clumsy. Fortunately, with the help of suction cups, Zhang Zexi uses the suction cups to absorb the surrounding fixed positions almost every place he goes, pulling himself to move.

In an unfamiliar environment, one must be vigilant at all times. Zhang Zexi knows that the body of an octopus has many magical functions, such as spraying ink, camouflaging and changing colors, and injecting venom into the enemy.

If you can master the knack of controlling body changes, you will be able to have a little more security in the current environment. Ink spraying is almost as instinctive as eating and drinking. When you turn your mind, your body will make the most intuitive reaction. Thick black ink sprayed out from the funnel, mixed with a foul smell, whether it could cover the enemy's route, it's unknown if the smell made the predators lose their desire to eat him, but it really covered my sight...

This is the result of being unfamiliar with the business. After finally getting out of the chaos created by the ink, I saw the light passing through the sea.

Looking up, you can still see the circular outline of the sun.

A glimmer of hope rose in Zhang Zexi's heart. The sunlight was strong enough to prove that he was not far from the sea. Experiment with another skill of your own - color changing.

Octopuses hide many pigment cells of different colors. As long as they can control the expander in the pigment cells, they can change various colors according to their own wishes.

While clinging to a fixed object and moving, he controlled the dilator of the pigment cells, which turned dark red for a while, brown for a while, and white with spots for a while, with various appearances, which directly scared away the living creatures in the coral colony. The clownfish family made the thin-skinned Zhang Zexi a little ashamed.

But he, Zhang Zexi, always understood the importance of knowing shame before being brave, so he simply lay down on a brown rock and began to change colors until it completely merged with the surrounding environment.

He stayed where he was, thinking about how he should get up.

After all, an octopus is not a real fish. It has no fins and tail, and it does not have a pair of 'ears' like squid. It cannot swim in the sea for a long time like a fish. There are two ways it can move. The first is One is to rely on the tentacles to cling to the fixed object to move, and the other is to rely on the water flow ejected from the body tube to move in the opposite direction.

The method of spraying water upstream cannot last long after all, and most octopuses rely on the funnel tube to spray water to move quickly when they are in danger.So if he wants to go up, he has to find a mountain wall that allows him to climb.

The mountain wall is not difficult to find. Zhang Zexi can vaguely see a black shadow blocking the line of sight not far away. The impurities in the seawater make the distant scenery blurred. A layer of haze.

As he approached the island, the outline of the mountain gradually became clear. Just as he had guessed, a stretch of mountain walls stretched upwards. With Zhang Zexi's eyesight, it was impossible to see the end of its top.

Zhang Zexi speculates from the shape that this is very likely a part of an island that is in the sea. If you can go ashore from here, you will have more hope of going home. As for how to leave after you go ashore, you should think about it after you go ashore. things.

Compared with the lively coral group next door, this place looks very deserted. Whether it is plants or creatures on the bottom of the sea, they are very rare, or there are none at all.

Climbing up the mountain wall with the hope of being able to go home, Zhang Zexi was very relaxed and happy at first, disguising the color of her body into the same gray-blue color as the mountain body and continuing to climb up.

10 minutes later……

The distance seems to be a bit far. It is estimated that the slope of the mountain is too steep, which made him walk so many wrong roads.

after an hour……

The constant climbing made Zhang Zexi a little tired, but when he looked up, the mountain wall still had no end in sight, and the sun was still high in the sky.

Maybe the depth he is in is deeper than imagined, and who can say that clownfish will not live in deeper waters?

For the sun, for the land, it is worth his efforts!

Two hours later...

Zhang Zexi clung to the rock wearily and remained motionless. It was too far away, the mountain wall seemed to never end, and the sun was still hanging high above the sea water. What went wrong, did you accidentally go downhill?

Most importantly, he's hungry.

Except for the meal he ate on his birthday yesterday, he never ate again. Just now he was thinking about going out on the bottom of the sea, so naturally he didn't have the mind to hunt. Now that he has climbed for such a long time, his stomach is already unbearably hungry.

Not to mention the food around here, there are very few plankton.

What did he do wrong?He is just a weak, pitiful and helpless chasing sun octopus!
