After becoming an octopus

The Mantis Shrimp walked away disheartened, but Zhang Zexi still took to heart what it reminded.

It's just that before the pioneer fish came to investigate, he waited for another visitor.

"Hey, Zhang Zexi." The clownfish who lived next door quietly touched it, its eyes were fixed on the little octopus, and its body was getting closer to Zhang Zexi.

Zhang Zexi was very puzzled by its cautious behavior, "Clownfish, what's the matter?"

The clownfish didn't answer right away, but approached him in the least attention-grabbing way. After confirming that he was safe, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, looking at Zhang Zexi faintly, "I have something I want to talk to you Tell me, your family has too many cubs."

Zhang Zexi guessed that something happened in the past few days, otherwise the clownfish would not have such an attitude, but he also has his own entanglements, so he can only pretend to be stupid: "Wouldn't it be more lively if there are too many?"

"It's really lively. Now the creatures in the coral group are panicked, and several schools of fish have stopped visiting the coral group." Although the clownfish and its group have not been attacked, they have been there for several days I don't dare to go out to look for food anymore, I rely on the sea anemones at home to raise them.

"Do the little octopuses have such a big influence? They're still young." Zhang Zexi felt a little guilty. In his eyes, the little octopuses' lethality had always been very small, and they were still at an age where they could be easily swallowed in one bite.However, he can't go against his conscience and say that his cub is not lethal. He feels like the parent of a bear child, who will only say 'he is just a child'.

"Don't you know? These few days, your little octopuses have been hunting in the coral group, every time they stun a large group, and many creatures have moved because of this." The clownfish still seem to have some lingering fears, because they may also be at any time. Being attacked, after all, the electric shock attack will not distinguish between the enemy and the friend.

Zhang Zexi was a little embarrassed. Obviously, the clownfish came here to complain this time, "Sorry, I fell asleep and didn't watch these few days. They may be starving. I will pay attention not to let them destroy of."

In fact, hunting among creatures happens every day, but there are too many small octopuses in the high food chain of the coral group, which is undoubtedly a burden on the coral group.

The main source of food for the small octopus is the barnacles on the barnacle mountain, which has limited impact on the coral colony. The solution he thinks of at present is to take the small octopus to other places to hunt for food, but there are many things during this time, and it has been delayed. .

The clownfish chatted with Zhang Zexi, "Do you want to keep them? When they grow up, I'm afraid you won't be able to hunt so much food."

Zhang Zexi: "When they get older, they can go hunting."

Hearing the little octopus hunting, the clownfish trembled, "Are you still hunting here?"

Zhang Zexi: "...I will try to take them as far away as possible to hunt."

The ocean is rich in products, and the food intake of a group of small octopuses is no more than that of a humpback whale. It is not difficult to fill their stomachs.

"That's good." The clownfish just came over to reflect the bully behavior of the little octopuses in the coral group. There are a large group of little octopuses here, and it doesn't dare to stay here for a long time.

Zhang Zexi's plan was to take the little octopuses out to hunt after they set foot on the spot, but they also knew the seriousness of the matter after hearing what the mantis shrimp had said, so they had to settle down for a few days.In the next few days, except for digging barnacles and seaweed, the whole family hardly went out.

Zhang Zexi was a bit miserable, because his body grew and he couldn't go out to find a suitable nest to live in, so he could only live outside the nest all the time.

In fact, under normal circumstances, the feeling of living in the cave is similar to that of living outside the lair. The problem lies in the recent tide. Rest has also become a luxury.

Zhang Zexi, who was sleeping outdoors, felt that they could not stay like this forever. After three days of nesting at home, Xiao Hei came to tell Zhang Zexi while the sea current was suspended. Its nest is surrounded.

Zhang Zexi wanted to see what went wrong with the sponge group last time, so why not take advantage of the time when the sea tide passes to see the condition of those sponges. It would be a pity if such a large group of sponges died because of the fluffy sponges For some, you can also take the small octopus to hunt the crystal shrimp next to the sponge group when you go out.

It's just that before they had time to go out, Zhang Zexi found the pioneer fish.

Just like Mantis Shrimp said, there are quite a few of these pioneer fish. Although they come in groups, they are scattered in every corner, looking for something carefully.

The speed of the pioneer fish is very fast, although the attack power is not strong, the ability to avoid danger is not small.

Zhang Zexi tried to catch an approaching pioneer fish and missed. Without the use of electric current attack, the arms and legs could not do anything to catch these small fish.

However, the goal of the pioneer fish is not the octopus family after all. Their search range is mainly in the coral group.

Zhang Zexi felt that the small creatures in the coral group were unlucky enough. They were bullied by the little octopuses a few days ago, and today they were bullied by the pioneer fish again.

Zhang Zexi had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​going out again.

The pioneer fish just stayed in the coral group for more than an hour and then left.

Zhang Zexi breathed a sigh of relief, this time the crisis is probably over.He gave Xiao Hei some seaweed and asked him to go back and hide for a few days, and then come back in a few days.

The food at home was almost exhausted. After Zhang Zexi sent Xiao Hei away, he left the little octopus at home and went next door to dig barnacles.

Both Zhang Zexi and the little octopus had increased food intake. He found that their family had dug up a small piece of barnacles from the barnacle mountain, leaving only scattered small barnacles on it. Zhang Zexi's plan It is to let the small barnacles grow freely in the open space. After all, with the amount of food in their family, the barnacle mountain will be bald sooner or later. If they don’t raise them, the barnacle people will not have to eat them in the future, but the growth of the small barnacles is still slower. .

After Zhang Zexi was full, she dragged a net of barnacles back.

As soon as he got out of Barnacle Mountain, he saw several black shadows hovering above the seabed. Judging from the distance and size, these shadows were some kind of fish, with a body length of at least two meters.

Zhang Zexi secretly thought it was bad, it seemed that those pioneer fish had already found the mantis shrimp's residence, and they called for backup when they returned.

Thinking that the little octopus was still at home, Zhang Zexi speeded up to go back, but fortunately, the entrance of his cave was still fine.

As for the figures swimming above, Zhang Zexi also saw clearly. Judging from the appearance, these fish are of the species of swordfish, but the dorsal fin seems to have undergone a mutation, and the fish bones are distinct, and the exposed spikes are somewhat Long, like a pair of upright weapons, if it is pierced by such a dorsal fin, it is estimated that it can be stabbed in half.

Zhang Zexi is not too far from the place where the mantis shrimps live, and he can faintly see the situation above. Could it be that these sailfish are the white sharks that the mantis shrimps are talking about?

But Zhang Zexi misunderstood.

A sailfish is just a sailfish, but a white shark is someone else.

A figure jumped up from the coral group, and the sea water twisted a little. It seemed that the mantis shrimp launched the strongest attack.

The leaping figure floated in the middle of the sea, and its appearance also appeared. Its skin was white, as if it had been brushed with a layer of lime. with a translucent membrane resembling fish fins.

Zhang Zexi's eyes widened in disbelief, "This is... a mermaid?"

Are there really mermaids in the sea?

Zhang Zexi hurried back to the lair, fully integrated her figure with the hole stone, stood a little higher, and saw things more clearly.

This is the white shark clan, white shark, white shark, shark people!Why didn't he think of this!

After avoiding the mantis shrimp's attack, the white shark rushed back, grabbed the mantis shrimp's head with one hand, and threw it out without hesitation.

The mantis shrimp was thrown into the coral reef, and several layers of the coral reef were damaged.

Zhang Zexi looked a little startled, this Mantis Shrimp was quite rude to him before, but now he was beaten so badly?

It's not that he doesn't care about his past friendship, it's that his opponent is too strong, he can only go up to deliver food, and he still has a large group of small octopuses to raise, he really has no skills at all.

Zhang Zexi muttered: "Brother Xiagu, if you are really killed, don't blame me. After all, you caused the trouble yourself. Don't worry, when I go ashore, I will burn some paper money for you." , Let you bribe the officials under you, let them open a back door for you, and have a good pregnancy in your next life."

The mantis shrimp was crushed and beaten violently in the coral group. Zhang Zexi didn't know why, but he felt a little dark in his heart. When he first came here, he showed off his power, but now he was taught to be a shrimp Bar!

But such a little bit of coolness was quickly suppressed, after all Mantis Shrimp had come to give presents back then, and he also said that the past was wiped out.

Zhang Zexi couldn't see clearly from a distance, but he could still see that the captured Lanwa's predatory limbs were broken, and the shrimp shells on his body were cracked. Zhang Zexi couldn't bear to see it.

Zhang Zexi had a bad impression of this mermaid, so he had to kill him directly, as it would be cruel to torture the shrimp like this.

Before he could decide whether to rescue the mantis shrimp, a sailfish swam towards him.

It wasn't the sailfish who discovered Zhang Zexi's existence, but the barnacles in the net next to the nest that attracted her.

The sailfish spun and charged on the net bag, the spikes on the dorsal fin scratched the net bag, and the net bag began to appear frizzy. After several collisions like this, the net bag was directly cut open, and the barnacles were scattered all over the ground.

The sailfish went forward to pick up a barnacle, and swam to the white shark that was beating the shrimp.

Zhang Zexi didn't stop him, if he could exchange a bag of barnacles for the safety of their family, he would still be willing.

After a while, the white shark gave up beating the mantis shrimp and swam over with the barnacle in his hand.

After the white shark approached, Zhang Zexi could see it more clearly. The white shark clan was right. This white shark was all white, and even had snow-white long hair. But this white shark didn't have Zhang Zexi's The beauty of the prosperous age in the imagination, the skin color is as white as a whitewashed wall, the skin is very smooth, it is as smooth as a loach, without pores.

Its mouth is a bit big, and when it opens its mouth, it will reveal a mouthful of jagged teeth. Its eyes are pure black, without whites, eyebrows and eyelashes.

From the perspective of human aesthetics, this appearance is indeed a bit weird.
