After becoming an octopus

While Lanwa's body was stiff, his eyes rolled around, trying to find a way to save himself.

But around here, apart from it, there is only a family of octopus digging barnacles.

Seeing the state of the octopus family, Lanwa's mentality was about to collapse.

I have a heavy sense of oppression on my body, but the octopus family has a relaxed atmosphere of eating and playing picnics.

The stark contrast between the two makes one wonder if the same space exists between the two.

Lanwa understood everything at this moment.

It turns out that this octopus has a backer!

The sea beast guarding the barnacle mountain is the backing of the octopus.

No wonder, no wonder this guy can come and go freely in the barnacle mountain, picking so many barnacles without any punishment, he just smashed a barnacle and provoked anger.

Thinking of how I treated the octopus family like I did before.Lanwa wanted to cry, but he didn't know if he could leave this barnacle mountain today.

Is it still useful to beg for mercy now? !

"Big, my lord, I don't mean to offend, I'm very sorry to disturb your rest, can I leave now?" Lanwa finished speaking hesitantly.

This guy has always been a bullying master, but his ability to survive until now is enough to show that his ability to flatter is not bad.

So when he found out that he had offended someone he couldn't offend, he immediately changed his thinking policy, showing weakness and begging for mercy, and he still didn't look arrogant in front of the octopus.

However, it didn't get any response to its begging for mercy, and the sense of oppression substantially limited its ability to move, and such a terrifying strength could not be offended by a little guy like it.

At this moment, Lanwa's mind was full of 'it's over'!It is estimated that if anyone can save him from danger at this moment, it will treat him as an ancestor.

Zhang Zexi brought a group of more than a dozen small octopuses to familiarize himself with the process of digging barnacles. On the way, he found the blue tile following behind him. He didn't respond at the time, and he didn't think that this mantis shrimp had the guts to enter the barnacle mountain. , so don't worry about it.

Now they were eating barnacle seaweed happily, but found mantis shrimp not far away.

From Zhang Zexi's perspective, he couldn't see the existence of that eye at all, but he could see Lanwa's figure clearly.

He didn't expect this guy to actually have the guts to follow in.It is obviously not a good thing for the octopus family that mantis shrimps enter the barnacle mountain. Zhang Zexi's family has many children and needs a lot of food, so they don't want to share the food of the barnacle mountain with other creatures at all.

However, the situation of this mantis shrimp seemed a little strange. He had seen the mantis shrimp for quite a while, but he didn't see any movement of the mantis shrimp. Zhang Zexi couldn't help being curious.

"What are you doing!" Zhang Zexi asked tentatively.

When Zhang Zexi spoke suddenly, it was like popping bubbles flying in the air, and the diaphragm was broken.

The scarlet eyes that had been staring at Lanwa blinked a few times before closing them again.

With the eyes closed, everything returned to calm.

Lan Wa loosened his body and collapsed directly to the ground.

Zhang Zexi didn't hear any response, so she swam over directly to see what was going on.

Almost as soon as Lanwa controlled the strength of his body, he immediately jumped up and fled in embarrassment outside the barnacle mountain.

Seeing Mantis Shrimp running away with a strange appearance, Zhang Zexi who ran halfway was confused, "Why did this guy run away without saying a word?" Could it be that he was scared by himself?Not quite.

Out of curiosity, he walked to the place where the mantis shrimp was just now.

There was still a barnacle with its shell smashed on the ground, but the barnacle meat inside was still there. Zhang Zexi dug out the barnacle and found nothing unusual. Looking at other places, he found nothing special.

The little octopuses swam over collectively and played in the barnacle group without realizing any danger.

Today's incident was a bit weird, Zhang Zexi saw that the barnacles were almost dug, and the little octopus was half full, so he took his family back home.

On the second day, Lanwa came over holding a fish.

Zhang Zexi let go of his vigilance a lot. They are currently in a state of mutual restraint. It is estimated that no one wants to break this balance.

"Brother octopus, it was all my fault before. I shouldn't have robbed your lair and fought with you. I caught this fish specially to make amends for you. How about we pretend that the past never happened?" Lan Wa The fish brought was not an ordinary small fish, but a two-meter-long tuna.

A mantis shrimp is holding a fish that is longer than its body. The picture looks a little funny.

Zhang Zexi's eyes lit up. Although there are many fish in the deep sea, he has never encountered tuna so far.

It's true that you are greedy, but Zhang Zexi is not someone who is easily fooled, "Even if you give me fish, I won't give you barnacles."

"How dare I ask for it!" Mantis Shrimp couldn't see any expression on his face, but he could hear the bitterness in his tone, "Why didn't you know such an adult who didn't say anything, if you said it earlier, how dare I do it? .”

Putting it in another way, if Lanwa can have such a sea beast as a backer, it will definitely be publicized to the whole world, even if it only has a little nepotism with such a sea beast, it can be blown as a direct subordinate by it.

As for this octopus, it is probably not as thick-skinned as he is. Lan Wa thinks that even if the other party has a big backer, the relationship with the big backer is average, otherwise how could he not have mentioned a word or two.

Even if it's just a superficial relationship, it still has something to do with it. Lanwa is now alone, so how dare he go head-to-head.

It now doubts whether the octopus deliberately did not say that he has a backer, and directly fought with himself, and finally took the opportunity to take advantage of himself.

Regarding this matter, Lanwa was very puzzled.

Not to mention Lanwa's doubts, even Zhang Zexi, the person involved, was puzzled by what it said, "What kind of lord? What kind of backer?"

'Adult' is a word translated by Zhang Zexi through the information transmitted through consciousness, which roughly means someone with powerful strength or high status. After all, there is no one in the deep sea, so using 'adult' as a title does not conform to the literal meaning.

Could it be that in such a deep sea, creatures are also divided into different ranks?

"What are you pretending to be at this time, it's the lord on the barnacle mountain." Lanwa was very emotional, "I didn't expect such a barren place to have such a powerful sea beast."

Zhang Zexi recalled how this guy ran away yesterday. Could it be that he met the sea beast that occupied the barnacle mountain?But when he went to look, there was nothing.

"You may have misunderstood something." Zhang Zexi pushed back the tuna given by the other party, "I don't know the adult you mentioned."

Zhang Zexi didn't bother to tell lies, and she didn't want to pretend to be a tiger with a sea beast or fox that she didn't know. Although this mantis shrimp was a little stronger than her, but if they really fought, they were evenly matched. There was no need to use the situation to suppress it. A formidable opponent who cannot be defeated is another matter.

As for the benefits obtained by relying on the names of other sea beasts, he doesn't need them either.Although tuna is not common here, since mantis shrimp can be found, he should be able to find it if he is more careful.

Now it's really cool to use the name of Lord Sea Beast to pretend to be a tiger.It's cool, but if that sea beast knows that I'm using its name to do something completely unrelated to it, maybe I will die even worse.

"Impossible. If you don't know that adult, how could he allow you to forage in its territory." Lanwa felt a little heartbroken when he thought of what happened yesterday, and he was warned just because he wanted to eat a barnacle.The big octopus took the whole family to eat, drink and play, but the adults didn't even care about it.

It's not so much that it doesn't believe that the octopus doesn't know the sea beast, but it doesn't believe that the sea beast will treat them differently when both parties are unfamiliar.

Therefore, even if the octopus really doesn't know the sea beast, in Lanwa's heart, he must know it!

"Believe it or not, I really don't know the sea beast you mentioned. If you apologize to me because of that sea beast, then take this fish back." Zhang Zexi's attitude was firm.

"Okay, okay, I believe you don't know any adults. But you have to accept this compensation, and if you accept it, it means that our past conflicts will be cancelled." Lan Wa still pushed the tuna to Zhang Zexi.

Zhang Zexi secretly took a sip of saliva, and took the tuna in the opponent's hand reservedly, "You said this, don't say that I will use the power of the sea beast to force you to give me a gift."

"It's just a fish, am I that stingy?" He waved his undisabled right finger, "Of course, if you can give me some barnacles..."

"No!" Zhang Zexi remembered the revenge of losing his hand.

Lan Wa murmured something stingy behind his back, but he didn't dare to refute it directly.

"Just now you said that you didn't expect such powerful sea beasts to exist in such a barren place like ours. You mean that other places are richer and the sea beasts are more powerful?" Zhang Zexi didn't know much about the deep sea. Mantis shrimps came from other places. Yes, we should know more about the deep sea.

"That's inevitable. You guys here, although it's not the most barren, but compared with the upper seabed area, it's far worse and doesn't have much energy." It moved its head forward, revealing that it was broken Where the predator's limbs fell off, "Look at the wound, it's been so long, and my limbs haven't grown back yet."

Zhang Zexi received too much information that he didn't understand at once, and he couldn't turn his head around, so he asked directly, "I haven't been to those rich places you mentioned, please explain to me first."

If it was normal, Lanwa would have ridiculed him a long time ago, but now he doesn't dare, so he can only seriously tell him some superficial content.

"That depends on what you want to know. Follow the current to the upper layer, and you will reach the upper seabed. It is a good place, with plenty of food, plenty of energy, and most importantly, many beautiful chicks."

Zhang Zexi asked: "What is energy?" Mantis Shrimp has said this word more than once, and he doesn't know what it is.

"For example, the barnacles you eat contain energy. Some creatures have energy in their bodies, but it's just a matter of how much energy they have. We want to become stronger, and we need the help of energy. Don't look at the racial talent of our blue-striped mantis shrimp. I am tall, but I can be attached to a powerful group, not all creatures can be bullied. I am one of the best young talents in the group. It is a pity that our group does not have much say in that place, and the energy we can share There are not many stones."

Although there are many ethnic groups here, Zhang Zexi subconsciously knew that the ethnic group he thought was not the same concept as the ethnic group in the other party's mouth, "What kind of ethnic groups are there on the upper seabed? Are fish and shrimp groups considered ethnic groups?"

"Those are just food. How can they be compared with groups. Groups refer to groups formed after differentiation. However, not all species like to live in groups. Some species are more inclined to act individually, not to mention groups."

"Is there really so many differentiated species on the upper seabed?" You know, there are only a few scattered species here, and Zhang Zexi can count eight octopus claws.

"Of course, the upper seabed is a good place. It's not like this barren place where there are so few differentiated organisms, and there are not many kinds of energy food. There is nothing you want. Except for being full, there is no advantage. Even I The little beauties I hooked up with all kicked me out." Speaking of the widow mantis shrimp, Lanwa felt heartbroken, it had given her food for several days, yet it was still kicked out!

"It's really as good as you said, why do you still come here?" Zhang Zexi was not satisfied with its tone, and it was rather flattering.

Lanwa choked for a moment, and then explained, "You don't know that, there are too many fierce creatures up there, I just pursued the daughter of the patriarch of the White Shark Clan, and was chased and killed by its admirers. "

"What kind of tribe is the Baiyu tribe?" Zhang Zexi wanted to learn as if he was pretending to be an old man.

"White sharks are white sharks, why are you so stupid?"

"It's a white shark, and you are a mantis shrimp. Are you also pursuing the same species?"

"What's the matter? Different species just can't reproduce. Even the boundaries of race don't hinder my love for it. Anyway, I can find other females of the same kind for reproduction."

Zhang Zexi: "..." This mantis shrimp, the daughter of the patriarch of the White Shark Clan on the front foot, and the little beauty on the back foot, is really a scumbag.

Zhang Zexi actually wanted to ask more about the upper seabed, but Mantis Shrimp was obviously impatient to explain to him again, and left the sentence "If you want to know, go and see for yourself", then dropped the tuna and ran away.

Zhang Zexi didn't catch up. At that time, he thought of himself who had worked so hard to climb the mountain and climbed to the seabed. The creatures there were indeed more ferocious. If he didn't run fast, he would have turned into excrement by now.

At that time, if it knew that the ocean current could send itself up, how could it have worked so hard to climb up!

The tuna left by the mantis shrimp was finally eaten by Zhang Zexi and the little octopuses.

Before Zhang Zexi ate much of the two-meter-long fish, it was gnawed by the swarming octopus until only the bones remained.

"The food intake has increased again..." Zhang Zexi felt that the child was difficult to raise, and the remaining fish skeleton was quite beautiful. Instead of throwing it away, he cleaned up the residue on the fish bone, leaving behind a Complete skeleton.

Zhang Zexi was obviously hesitant when he went to Barnacle Mountain again. Mantis Shrimp must have seen the owner of this mountain last time, and he didn't know whether he should continue to take things that belonged to him.

If the other party doesn't like to take it by himself, he should come out to stop himself, right?But this sea beast seems to have never driven him away. Does this prove that the owner of the barnacle mountain allowed himself to pick barnacles in its territory?

Zhang Zexi came to Barnacle Mountain, hesitating whether to formally meet the owner of this mountain. If mantis shrimp said that the owner of Barnacle Mountain should have appeared yesterday, why didn't he show up in front of himself? ?

When I looked for it, I didn't see any other creatures.

After pacing outside the barnacle mountain for a long time, Zhang Zexi finally gave up the idea of ​​meeting the other party. Maybe this sea beast didn't care about such a small guy like herself and was too lazy to show up to meet him.

This reason is actually a little untenable, because Zhang Zexi thinks that he and the mantis shrimp are evenly matched in strength, so there is no reason for the other party to show up in front of the mantis shrimp, but not in front of her.

Thinking about it this way, maybe it was his noble character that moved the sea beast and made the sea beast look at him highly.

hey-hey……

After all, in Zhang Zexi's eyes, Mantis Shrimp is a scum with corrupt moral character.

Zhang Zexi dug a circle of barnacles again, but the sea beast still didn't move.

Since the host family allows it, he will not be polite.

A large net of barnacles and seaweed was carried away again.

Zhang Zexi, who was recovering from his injuries, was free to think about other things, such as raising baby octopuses around.

Now that the little octopuses have grown up a bit, Zhang Zexi is not worried that they will be sucked into the stomach by other creatures.

Zhang Zexi had this idea, and the range of activities of the little octopus expanded, one of which was the kelp forest next door, and the other was the coral group next door.

Zhang Zexi first took a large group of small octopuses to the kelp forest next door. The kelp forest also hides many creatures, most of which are vegetarian creatures that eat seaweed, such as sea urchins, some conchs and shellfish.

In this seaweed forest lived a group of damselfish damselfish, which has golden scales. To be honest, compared with carp, Zhang Zexi felt that the color of damselfish scales was more suitable for jumping into the dragon's gate and transforming into a dragon. like gold.

Zhang Zexi rushed into the seaweed forest with tens of thousands of octopuses, scaring the busy Gao Huan damselfish into a panic.

Zhang Zexi is no longer so worried about the safety of the little octopus. When in danger, the little octopus will discharge electricity. When the other party is attacked by the electric current and moves slowly, the little octopus will take the opportunity to escape.

Even if he couldn't completely defeat his opponent, Zhang Zexi would step forward to help when the opponent couldn't resist.

Hiding in the kelp forest, the damselfly found that these octopuses were only in large numbers and showed no signs of attack, and then reappeared.

They repeat the same work in the kelp forest every day, cleaning up the conch shellfish in the kelp forest that feed on seaweed, and repeatedly taking the conch shells and sea urchins out of the kelp forest is their daily work.

Zhang Zexi quite likes this group of golden damselfish, because with the damselfish, he no longer has to look for food in the kelp forest.

The Gaohuan damselfish will directly take the conch shellfish outside the kelp forest, and Zhang Zexi and his small octopus just wait at the edge to pick them up.

It's time for the little octopuses to taste the taste of other creatures, and Zhang Zexi picked up a big meal without any effort.

Seeing Zhang Zexi's behavior, the little octopus would also pick up shellfish and conch.

The little ones still had a weak concept of what they could and couldn't eat, they just imitated Zhang Zexi's movements subconsciously, imitating him to pick up conch shellfish and put them into the net bag.

Zhang Zexi paid close attention to the little octopuses all the time, so he naturally noticed their behavior.

Some small octopuses are very honest, and they will pick up whatever they see Zhang Zexi picks up. Sometimes the conch they pick up is several times larger than their body, and it takes a lot of effort to move a little distance.

Some small octopuses know what they can do, and they will pick up some small conch or shellfish. Those conch and shellfish that are too small are young, and Zhang Zexi will not treat them as food.The gaps in the net bag are not small, even if a small cub is picked up into the net bag, it will leak out of the gap.

Of course, there are also those who are sneaky and slippery, and they specially choose large but light shells and conch.What kind of body is big and light?

Of course, it is the lightest with only the shell and no meat.

So in the end, there were a lot of empty shells in Zhang Zexi's net pocket...

Zhang Zexi pulled the car back home with a net bag.Pry open shells and conch for the baby octopuses to enjoy.

It's a pity that the little octopuses obviously don't appreciate it. They are used to eating barnacles, and they are also spoiled by their mouths. They don't have much interest in such shellfish.

Although Zhang Zexi was helpless about the children's picky eaters, they still had to mix them up. If they didn't get used to the outside food as soon as possible, the barnacle mountain would be eaten up by this group of octopuses sooner or later.

On this day, Zhang Zexi only opened half of the barnacles, and replaced the remaining half with shellfish and conch meat.

It's just that, in order to compete for more delicious food, a large group of small octopuses will inevitably fight.

Regarding the fight for food, Zhang Zexi didn't choose to control it. On the dangerous seabed, how could he survive without a bit of fighting ability?

So just let it go.

Zhang Zexi takes the little octopuses out every day to let them adapt to the creatures on the seabed as soon as possible. They either go to the kelp forest to pick up snails, or go to the coral group to catch small fish and shrimp.

There are a lot of small octopuses, and Zhang Zexi does not dare to guarantee 100% whether they are lost in the process of letting the wind out. Even if he finds something, he will pretend not to find it.

After all, he really couldn't face the death of the little octopuses, so he could only lie to himself in the end.

After wandering like this for a few days, the nearby territories were also inspected by them.

Just when Zhang Zexi was thinking about whether to take the little octopus to a further place to let the wind go.The black hogbeast appeared near their lair again.

"Big octopus, I'm back again." The black dolphin beast, wrapped in a layer of fluffy sponge, shuttled freely in the sea water, and suddenly rushed to Zhang Zexi.

If you want to use beautiful words to praise it, it can probably be described as an elf in water.But in Zhang Zexi's eyes, this is a flexible black fat man.

"Why have you gained so much weight?" Zhang Zexi couldn't believe it, Xiao Hei's head jumped and his body grew a lot.

Xiao Hei said angrily: "You have the nerve to talk about me? Don't you look at yourself."

During this period of time, Zhang Zexi has indeed grown a lot bigger. His octopus head has a diameter of one meter, which is bigger than any giant octopus discovered by humans. Now he is very curious about his species.

"Ahem..." Zhang Zexi felt shy, and quickly changed the subject, "Where have you been all this time? I thought you ran away with my seaweed."

"What is cough cough?" Xiao Hei naturally couldn't understand the meaning of human coughing.

Zhang Zexi subconsciously imitated the sound of coughing to cover up her embarrassment, but she forgot about it, so she said seriously, "That's not the point, the point is why you haven't come these days?"

Xiao Hei scratched his head, "I don't know about this either, I just slept at home and gained weight when I woke up."

The black dolphin took advantage of the current to recuperate at home for a few days. Seeing that this phase of the current has passed, it has also eaten up the seaweed.Just when it was planning to come to work the next day, it fell asleep at home that night.

When I woke up from sleep, I grew up a lot.

Xiao Hei himself didn't know how long he had slept. He only knew that he seemed to have broken through something during his sleep, but he couldn't explain it specifically.

In the past, Zhang Zexi might not have had any ideas, but after hearing Mantis Shrimp's remarks, he felt that Xiao Hei's strength should have improved.

"I came over as soon as I woke up." Xiao Hei picked up Zhang Zexi without answering, and deliberately defended himself.

Zhang Zexi was very satisfied with this hard-working employee, and rewarded it with a big red envelope for its opening—ten seaweeds.

Looking at the black dolphin beast holding the seaweed Shale in front of him, Zhang Zexi felt in his heart, he is really a simple and contented idiot child, it would be great if all differentiated creatures in the sea are like this, but unfortunately, differentiated creatures also have bully old fritters like mantis shrimp.

"Since you've come to work, let's go to a farther place today." Zhang Zexi has already taken the little octopus to walk around, and next time he can go to a farther place.

For the sake of the little octopus' safety, he decided to go out with the black dolphin beast to scout the spot today, and then take the little octopus out after confirming that the place is safe.

Xiao Hei has no objection, as long as he pays him the seaweed, he asks casually, "Then where shall we go first?"

In fact, Zhang Zexi didn't know the road. The only road he knew was the distance from the old lair to the new lair. As for other places, he really didn't know. The place."

Xiao Hei thought about it seriously, "As for the little creature, I know that there is a group of crystal shrimps in the canyon next door, which is right next to the group of sponges."

The crystal shrimp group is a good prey, just for the little octopuses to practice their hunting skills.

"Is the attack power of the crystal shrimp group high?" Zhang Zexi jumped on the sponge car while speaking, and the sponge car floated slightly after carrying the weight.

The black dolphin beast pulled the rope around its body, and replied, "I don't know, I'm a vegetarian, and I haven't had any conflicts with them."

"Then let's go and have a look first." Zhang Zexi was originally going to step on the site, if the crystal shrimp swarm was too fierce, he would just change the place.

Xiao Hei pulled the cart and swam quickly in the sea like a shuttle.

Zhang Zexi is sure that without the restraint of the driver, Xiao Hei can swim in all kinds of tricks.

At this moment, they are already wandering more than ten meters above the seabed, this distance is just enough to see the situation of the seabed below without being blocked by impurities in the seawater.

Looking down, Zhang Zexi was dazzled by corals of various colors, and the distant and close-up views of the seabed had different beauty, so the trip was quite satisfactory.

Another thing worthy of recognition is Xiaohei's speed. It took almost half of the time before, and the black dolphin beast pulled the car all the way to the top of the sponge group.

Since the sponge group was not their ultimate goal, the car did not land in the end.

I haven’t been here for a while, and the pattern of the sponge group has also undergone some changes. The sponges with rich colors and different shapes are still elegant, but there is an area where the sponges have been covered by rich black. This black is the growth of fluffy sponges. land.

Zhang Zexi was silent for a while, but still asked Xiao Hei, "When I came last time, the fluffy sponge didn't occupy such a large area."

"Yes, the fluffy sponge has grown more." The black guinea beast didn't pay much attention to this, and the fluffy sponge has no other use except to allow it to move quickly in the water.

Seeing its indifferent appearance, Zhang Zexi hated iron and steel, this is not his residence, but the residence of this black dolphin beast in front of him, this guy is so careless, Zhang Zexi has a feeling that the emperor is not in a hurry The sense of sight, "Aren't you worried that the fluffy sponge will spread to the whole sponge group?"

"I haven't thought about this." The black dolphin has an innocent face. During this time, all he can think about is how to get seaweed from octopus, and he really hasn't paid attention to other things.

Zhang Zexi felt a little stupid, actually expecting this guy who was only thinking about eating and was easy to be deceived to think about the future of the sponge group.

If the velvet sponge was an ordinary sponge, he wouldn't feel anything, but the velvet sponge was obviously a parasitic species, and its existence squeezed out the living space of other sponges.These velvet sponges are spreading very fast, and compared to the last scene seen, the current blackened area has increased by at least one-third.

Spreading at this rate, it won't be long before this sponge group becomes a paradise for fluffy sponges.

He admitted that the fluffy sponges are very useful, but the number of fluffy sponges that occupy the entire sponge group is completely unnecessary. If possible, he still wants to find out the situation here.

Zhang Zexi patted the black porcupine beast's tail, signaling it to walk slowly, "Have there always been fluffy sponges?"

Xiao Hei: "I have had it since I was born, but it didn't grow so fast before."

Zhang Zexi asked another question, "When did that start to change?"

"According to what you said, it's probably..." The black dolphin beast counted on its fingers, "it was more than 80 days ago."

After listening to the explanation of the black dolphin beast, Zhang Zexi guessed that there was something wrong with this sponge land. There must be some factors that caused the velvet sponge to grow wildly. He really wanted to find out the reason, but let's forget it for today.

"Let's go, come and see another day." After Zhang Zexi conveyed his meaning, Xiao Hei accelerated his speed again, and carried Zhang Zexi through the sponge group.
