After becoming an octopus

Zhang Zexi stuffed all the silk and daily necessities that had been sorted out into the cave where they hid before.

It was easier to clean the shark silk than expected. He rubbed it in the sea water and put it in the hole.

After doing this, Zhang Zexi dug some barnacles and left.

The spars dug up in the sponge group didn't know what they were. After pulling the barnacles home and feeding the little octopuses, Zhang Zexi took the spar into the coral group.

After Zhang Zexi walked into the coral group, he was stunned. It was true that he was looking for Lanwa, but where did Lanwa live?

He only knows that Lanwa is in the coral group, but the specific location is not clear, and he has never visited the other party's lair.

"It's probably in the nest of a female mantis shrimp!" Zhang Zexi still remembered the last time Lanwa was besieged by the sharks on the barnacle mountain, and when he was about to surrender to die, he said that it still had several friends in the coral group. , How many are coming?

Too many to remember.

He probably remembered how many directions Lanwa had pointed to, and he was sure to go to these directions to find it.

After living with Lanwa for a while, Zhang Zexi managed to grasp some of Lanwa's temperament, visited several nests of female mantis shrimps, and finally found a mantis shrimp in one of the nests who was having a hot fight with a female mantis shrimp. blue tile.

Zhang Zexi waited outside the lair, and said to Lan Wa: "Come out, I have something to ask you."

Lan Wa was obviously reluctant to part with his little lover, so he said very perfunctorily, "Tell me what's going on."

"You come out first, see if you recognize this thing." Zhang Zexi has never asked about Lanwa's living habits before. Even if the other party really has three wives and four concubines, it is the freedom of underwater creatures. Zhang Zexi has no intention Use human moral standards to measure the behavior of the other party.

But now Lanwa was always dawdling, he was really a little impatient, "If you don't come out again, the reward for asking questions will be forgotten."

"Remuneration? What reward?" Lanwa, who didn't care much at first, became energetic in an instant. While waiting for Zhang Zexi's answer, he slowly crawled out of the nest.

"Two barnacles." Zhang Zexi didn't feel that she was stingy at all.

When Lanwa heard that Zhang Zexi was going to give him barnacles, he was almost moved to tears. In his heart, Zhang Zexi was an iron cock who didn't want to give him a single barnacle, but now he was willing to sell two!How could Lanwa not be shocked by this, and his slow movements became quicker.

"Let me see something." The crystal shrimp had crawled out of the hole at this time, and Zhang Zexi was squatting there in such a big lump. Hearing Lanwa's question, he squeezed out a grain from the sucker of his tentacles. Spar, hand it to Lanwa.

When Lanwa saw this thing, his eyes lit up, "Power stone!" It was about to take the power stone, but Zhang Zexi quickly retracted the octopus claws.

Lan Wa jumped in the air, looking at Zhang Zexi with a sense of resentment in his eyes.

Zhang Zexi didn't care about its gaze, apparently Mantis Shrimp had a deep understanding of energy stones, "What's the use of energy stones?"

Lanwa shouted at Xiao Jiujiu, "Let's discuss it. Let me tell you what the power stone is for. You can give me the power stone, okay?"

"No."

"Are you still a brother? You can't bear to give me such a small energy stone!"

"Not brothers!"

Mantis Shrimp was slapped mercilessly in the face, and couldn't speak for a while.

Zhang Zexi knew the truth of giving a sweet jujube a whip. Before the blue tile was completely sluggish, Zhang Zexi threw two barnacles, "This is your reward."

Lanwa finally calmed down, and reluctantly said: "A power stone is a stone that contains energy. Just like this barnacle, it has energy. However, the energy contained in a power stone is higher than that contained in the same barnacle. Too much. Besides, are you really going to give me this power stone? I think with this power stone, I can regrow the predatory limbs in two days."

Zhang Zexi remained unmoved, and put the energy stone back into his suction cup again. What good would it do him to grow the blue tile's predatory limbs?Anyway, it's not dead, it will grow out sooner or later, don't waste resources.

"The power stone can only be used to regenerate a broken limb? Does it have any other effect?" Zhang Zexi has already paid the reward, and it can't be dismissed with just one answer.

"A power stone can make a living thing stronger quickly. This thing is rare, and even I haven't gotten many power stones." Lanwa is obviously very eager for power stones.

Zhang Zexi's thoughts drifted to other places. Could the rapid growth of the fluffy sponge be related to these energy stones? At that time, they didn't look for them seriously. Maybe there was more energy buried under the deformed fluffy sponge. stone.

Zhang Zexi tentatively asked again: "Can energy stones allow living things to grow quickly?"

"Of course, otherwise, why do you think those little octopuses in your family can grow so fast? By the way, where did you find this thing? Can you take me to see it too?" Lan Wa still didn't give up, even thinking Go dig yourself.

Zhang Zexi was a little messed up, these energy stones obviously didn't exist from the beginning, otherwise those fluffy sponges wouldn't have grown so fast all of a sudden.

If these power stones were not originally there, who put these power stones in the sponge group?What is the intention of doing this?

If these power stones are really the culprit for the crazy growth of the velvet sponge, then the matter will be resolved. As long as he can take out all the power stones hidden in the ground, the matter of the velvet sponge will be solved.

Now he is more worried about whether the original master who put the power stone here will show up to trouble them.

whatever!

Zhang Zexi is an octopus with a backing, who is afraid of whom?

Seeing that Zhang Zexi was out of control, Lan Wa didn't listen to himself at all, "What's wrong with you? Don't you want to tell me where you picked it up?"

"Don't even think about it." Zhang Zexi still couldn't figure it out, "Can a sponge absorb the energy of the energy stone?"

"Of course, but creatures like this type absorb energy very slowly. They rely on filtering seawater to obtain their survival needs, and only absorb the energy in the seawater. The power stone dissipates very little energy."

After listening to his narration, Zhang Ze probably understood that the speed at which the sponge absorbs energy is almost equal to nothing, but the fluffy sponge can actively absorb the energy in the energy stone.

"So that's it!" Zhang Zexi left after leaving such a sentence, too lazy to stay here with Lanwa.

If it wasn't for the dark sky, Xiao Hei would have already gone back, he really wanted to go and find out what kind of treasures are there right now.

Full of anticipation, Zhang Zexi finally waited until the next morning.

Xiao Hei has already come to work, and wants to have breakfast by the way.

"I may have thought of a way to solve the sponge group, you go and have a look with me." Zhang Zexi didn't bring the little octopus this time, after all, going out this time is not for fun.

But if he were to leave the little octopus alone, he would inevitably feel a little worried. After thinking about it, he went to Barnacle Mountain again.

Now the Barnacle Mountain has become the safest place in Zhang Zexi's mind, and he can feel relieved by leaving the little octopus there.

For this reason, he decided to consult with the sea beast in Barnacle Mountain.

When they came to Barnacle Mountain, Zhang Zexi went straight to the point and took out the energy stone, "Master Sea Beast, I found this energy stone in other places. I plan to dig more today. Can I put my son in the You here? I am willing to give [-]% of the energy stones I got as a reward."

Zhang Zexi wanted to express generously that he was willing to give [-]% of the energy, but if he didn't get many energy stones, he would be busy, wouldn't he be able to get nothing?

Of course, this price is not impossible to negotiate, it mainly depends on what price the sea beasts in Barnacle Mountain can accept.

"can."

Zhang Zexi was still thinking about some bargaining issues in his mind, and suddenly such a sentence appeared in his mind, which shocked him. When he heard clearly that the sea beast said "yes", he wondered if he had misunderstood it, but He was more worried that the other party would repent, and did not choose to repeat the question.Go back quickly and bring the little octopus over.

In order to prevent the little octopus from leaving with him, he temporarily put the little octopus into a pouch and placed it in front of the cave where the items were stored.

He and Xiao Hei returned to the sponge group.

Zhang Zexi prepared a digging tool—shells.

In order to see more clearly, Zhang Zexi started to pull some fluffy sponges that spread too much out of the sponges. grow.

A vacuum was cleared around the fluffy sponge like a mushroom cloud, and Zhang Zexi and Xiao Hei were looking for energy stones in the cleared space.

Barnacle Mountain.

A pile of conch shells are placed in front of the cave entrance. These conch shells are in groups of eight to ten, and each group is connected in series to communicate with each other.

Their makers have given them a name - pouches.

There are thousands of baby octopus in the pouch. As the baby octopus grows up, the size gradually increases, and the space in the pouch becomes a bit more crowded.

Each conch is connected to a shell to make a seal to prevent the small octopus from going out, but obviously, such devices often only play a psychological role. A door that is closed but not locked is essentially similar to an open door.

At this time, a shell that was sealed by a baby pouch shook slightly, and then a small orange tentacle extended along the edge of the gap, pushing open a larger gap.

The first to extend to the periphery are a few octopus claws, and the octopus claws use the force of clinging to squeeze out its body.

The little octopus' head was flattened by the weight of the shell, and only the round eyes peeked out from the slits.

The shell is eventually lifted as more and more body parts are extruded.

The moment they saw the light, the little octopuses in the pouch scrambled out of it.

Soon, all the baby octopuses in the same pouch left the pouch.

The little orange octopus is no stranger to the environment of the barnacle mountain, and began to wander around as usual.

The unrestrained little octopus acted recklessly. Some saw the barnacles on the barnacle mountain trying to pull them out, and some scuffled after getting together in groups, and finally fought into a ball. The situation looked a little bad.

While the little octopuses were fighting, the barnacle mountain moved, like a monster that had just fallen asleep and suddenly opened his eyes. The scarlet eyes turned left and right following the little octopuses, taking in everything in front of them .
