After becoming an octopus

It seems that a large group of dark clouds has fallen on the seabed, and the black cotton wool covers a large area of ​​the sponge group, and the spread of this coverage is still going on.

An orange octopus head protruded from the black cotton wool, its small blue ears trembled a few times, stirring up the sea water around it, and the black eyes rolled with a bit of cleverness.

Immediately afterwards, the second, third, and fourth little octopuses emerged one after another, shaking their ears tacitly.

After a while, the black cotton wool seemed to be covered with small orange fruits.

"This is the place where the fluffy sponges grow most densely, and maybe we can find the reason for their wanton growth from here." Zhang Zexi carefully bypassed the fluffy sponge coverage, avoiding a large area of ​​the body from being pressed on the fluffy sponges, bit by bit Move in.Otherwise, if you are not careful, you may be lifted up by the floating fluffy sponge.

Xiao Hei followed behind Zhang Zexi, his tail slapping the sea water, swimming above the fluffy sponge.

Zhang Zexi stopped in front of a huge group of fluffy sponges, peeled off the outer layer of black fluffy sponges with his tentacles, revealing the white sponges inside.

The sponge completely covered by the velvet sponge seems to have been weathered over the years, becoming fragile, and it is scattered like tofu residue when touched slightly.

This is not a good sign. In the long run, when the sponge completely dissipates and the fluffy sponge has no parasites to cling to, it will also lose its vitality.Without vitality, this place will become a dead place, waiting for the rebirth of new life, but the process may be as long as reincarnation.

Zhang Zexi has a lot of things in mind, not just because this is Xiao Hei's residence, he is more worried about whether the fluffy sponge will parasitize on other objects and continue to spread after killing the sponge, the location of their nest It can't be considered far from here. According to this spreading speed, it is likely to affect the coral group next door.

Although Zhang Zexi's size has increased a lot during this period, it still looks very small compared to the 10-meter-high sponge in front of him.

This clump of huge sponges looks like a mushroom cloud rising after a nuclear bomb exploded. Aside from its spreading properties, this thing is really pretty, but this cannot distort the fact that it is a deformed growth.

"The problem must be around here, let's look for it separately." Zhang Zexi's own ability is limited after all, although adding a little black may not increase the labor force much, but being in a pair is better than being alone.

When Zhang Zexi arrived at this time, he looked at the little octopus with regret. If these little octopuses could understand his own words and disperse to find suspicious things, then it would be true that there are many people with great strength. Unfortunately, although the little octopus He looks very clever, but he can only understand some simple instructions from him.

Zhang Zexi and Xiao Hei walked around the edge of the huge clump of fluffy sponges, and found nothing special except for the strange growth of the sponges.

Zhang Zexi couldn't help it, if he couldn't find the reason, he could only peel off these fluffy sponges and search carefully.

After working with Xiao Hei for a while, Zhang Zexi still couldn't find any clues.

Just when they were about to peel off the fluffy sponge to see if there were any clues left on the ground, a small orange octopus suddenly popped its head out of the fluffy sponge next to it, its round eyes blinked, and saw the chapter When Zexi stretched out two octopus claws, the ends trembled towards Zhang Zexi, making a gesture of begging for a hug.

Zhang Zexi's heart softened, his cub was so cute, what else could he do in such a situation?Of course, it is to satisfy the wish of the little octopus.

Two octopus tentacles stretched out in front of the little octopus, trying to hug the little octopus out of the fluffy sponge.

As soon as his tentacles exerted force, he realized that something was wrong. At this time, the little fish stayed firmly in place as if he had used a jackhammer.

Zhang Zexi didn't give up immediately, and the strength on the tentacles increased a bit, but the area where the small octopus was pulled was larger. This was also to prevent the possibility of tearing the small octopus in half with too much force.

After Zhang Zexi increased her strength a little, she finally pulled the little octopus up from the fluffy sponge.

After the little octopus was pulled up, the part under the head was exposed. There was a shiny thing wrapped around his little octopus claws, and the brilliance could be seen from the gaps in the tentacles of the little octopus.

"Eh? What's this?" Xiao Hei was already by Zhang Zexi's side at this time, and he was the first beast other than Zhang Zexi to find that the little octopus had caught something else in its claws.

Zhang Zexi originally wanted to check what this kind of shiny stone was, but the little octopus seemed to love this kind of stone, and was unwilling to let go of it at all after grabbing it. After a while, a warm orange light suddenly lit up on the little octopus. Zhang Zexi was stunned by this operation. Could the little octopus still glow?

It is true that some octopuses can emit light, and Zhang Zexi doesn't know whether her little octopus has the characteristic of glowing, but it is an indisputable fact that the little octopus is glowing right now.

Zhang Zexi didn't dwell on the fact that the little octopus would glow for too long.

He just wanted to get the stone out to check it out, but seeing that the little octopus didn't intend to let go of the spar, he had no choice but to let go of his petty thoughts.

But what he was sure of was that the stone of the baby octopus should have been found on the ground under the sponge cover.Since he couldn't get his hands on the little octopus, he had to start looking for it from the ground.

First tear off the fluffy sponge covering the upper layer of the ground, and focus entirely on finding stones.

Ambilight is very conspicuous against the black background. Zhang Zexi quickly touched a spar with multicolored radiance. The size of the stone is only about the size of a pigeon egg, but its shape is not a regular ellipse, but irregular with some Round corners.

"Do you know what this is?" Zhang Zexi handed the spar to Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei stared at the spar for a while, but didn't see what it was.

"Before the fluffy sponge started to spread, did you see this kind of thing?" Zhang Zexi asked again.

Xiao Hei gave a negative answer, "I have never seen this kind of stone in the sponge group."

"That is to say, there was no such spar near here before." Zhang Zexi caught a flash of inspiration and decided to put away the stone for the time being. When he returned, he would ask Mantis Shrimp if he knew this kind of stone. .

Although Lanwa is a bit lecherous, he has to admit that he has more knowledge.

Zhang Zexi hid the spar in the suction cup of one of her tentacles, grabbed the little octopus that couldn't swim because it was holding the spar, and said to the little octopus: "It's getting late, let's go and see if we can get there Find some crystal shrimp before lunch."

Zhang Zexi came here to check on the condition of the sponge just by the way, his real purpose was to bring the little octopus out to practice hunting skills.

The task of exploring the sponge group came to an end temporarily, and Xiao Hei took them to the edge of the sponge group.

Zhang Zexi released all the little octopuses, and a group of crystal shrimps came from not far away. Zhang Zexi felt that this was just an opportunity, and rushed out first.

The little octopuses had just been released from the pouch, and they couldn't react. Seeing Zhang Zexi rushing out, these little octopuses rushed in instinctively.

After the little octopus saw the crystal shrimp appearing in the distance, it let go of the crystal that it was holding in its tentacles. In one of the suckers.

The octopus family just rushed into the crystal shrimp group, and some small octopuses were clever and caught the small crystal shrimp at once.

The crystal shrimp group was frightened by the sudden intruder and fled in all directions.

In the process of escaping, some of the crystal shrimps have been caught by the small octopuses, and most of them rushed into the canyon.

Some small octopuses that did not catch the crystal shrimp immediately chased after the crystal shrimp and rushed into the dark canyon.

Zhang Zexi actually had some resistance to entering the canyon. He got lost in the canyon last time, but he had to admit that the canyon was not very dangerous except that it was a little dark inside. The real danger was that the other side of the canyon could not be distinguished wide area of ​​direction.

"Xiao Hei, you are here to help me keep an eye on the little octopuses. If they run around, you can knock open the barnacles and introduce them into the pouch." Zhang Zexi left such a sentence, and immediately chased the little octopuses into the pouch. into the canyon.
