After becoming an octopus

Zhang Zexi hadn't been decadent for a long time, but a dangerous intuition made his whole body go numb, and he woke up instantly. It was the gaze of a predator.

Zhang Zexi's perception of danger has never been so keen. When the surrounding water trembled, he was like a flexible fat man, relying on the water jetted from his body tube to propel himself to move quickly, leaving the spot in an instant.

And where he was standing just now, a bright red, slender and barbed tongue sank into the soil.Seeing that the target failed, the tongue retracted again.

The snot monster did not know when it had quietly come behind him, just a few meters away.Before the other party showed malice, Zhang Zexi didn't even notice anything at all.

He inevitably had lingering fears. Seeing the lump of 'snot monster' approaching not far away, he wanted to run away after rubbing oil on the soles of his feet. Now there was no melancholy that hurt the spring and autumn, and his mind was full of how to escape.

Zhang Zexi found that the snot-nosed monster hadn't followed, but he discovered another more serious point.

The snot monster's movement speed is not fast, but its movement is very concealed, and its tongue is also very flexible. It often approaches other creatures without knowing it. When it is unprepared, it brings the prey into the mouth with one tongue. The barb on the tongue can Let them fix the prey they catch more securely, and the characteristics of their bodies allow their stomachs to hold prey twice their own volume. The body of the snot monster will be expanded by the food, and the body will be fully digested after the food is completely digested. Return to original size.

Zhang Zexi was being chased and kept running towards the inner circle. I don't know if this kind of snot monster is born with skills that can be ignored. No matter how he reminds himself to be careful of these hunters, he can ignore the snot monsters he sees on the road, etc. When he realized it, the whole octopus had already been surrounded by the snot monsters. Within a hundred meters, there were already dozens of snot monsters of different sizes.

Zhang Zexi had to stop the octopus claw that continued to escape.

Almost at the same time he stopped, a tongue shot out.

He hides!

Another tongue shot.

He hides again.

More and more tongue attacks came, and Zhang Zexi had nowhere to hide. In desperation, a thick black and smelly ink sprayed out, and his body was driven up several meters by this force.The tongues of all the snot monsters who launched the total hit the black ink left by him.

Most of the tongues chose to retract quickly when they touched the ink. Only two tongues accidentally touched together. Due to the strong grasping ability of the tongue hooks, the tongues were entangled and could not be separated for a while.The two tongues struggled in the ink for three seconds before breaking free.

After the two snot monsters who had tried the taste of ink retracted their tongues, their bodies suddenly struggled and twisted like twists, as if they had been severely attacked.

Just when Zhang Zexi wondered if his ink was poisonous, the two snot monsters began to vomit while writhing and twisting, and some half-digested fish and shrimp and other mixtures overflowed from their cracked mouths.I don't know, maybe I can think that this is because I vomited like shit.

My ink should not be poisonous, maybe it just stinks...

The snot monsters should have a keen sense of taste, or they just have an aversion to octopus ink, but this was enough for that Zhang Zexi to grasp their weakness and use it to escape from here.

Zhang Zexi is actually not feeling well at the moment, although the creatures on the bottom of the sea eat, drink and scatter in the sea, he should get used to it after two days, but as soon as he thinks that everyone's excrement is in the sea, those substances are scattered in the sea , and then surrounded by the sea water, there is a feeling of bathing in a cesspool...

Thinking of this, he immediately stopped his dangerous divergence of thinking, and refocused on breaking out. First, he must determine a safe route to retreat.

For example, although the number of snot monsters on the right front is the least, and they are not very big, they look like they are the most bully group, but he has seen the route behind these snot monsters, sticking out their heads from time to time to hunt small fish Bobbit bug.

If there were not many of them, he would dare to venture in. The problem was that there was a large area of ​​Bobbit bugs hidden on the seabed. Zhang Zexi saw a group of small fish passing by and were caught by Bobbit bugs hidden in the sand and dragged into the sea. There is no chance of surviving in the sand. For the safety of life, it is better to be cautious.

Zhang Zexi didn't know why she ran towards the inner circle, perhaps because she still had expectations for going ashore, she unconsciously chose the most likely route to go ashore.

Now he understood that the further he went, the more dangerous it might be. He didn't hesitate for too long, and finally chose to go back the same way. As for how to go ashore and further develop into returning home, he could only make a long-term plan.

Once you have made a decision, you will use this direction as a breakthrough point, spraying ink all the way forward.

Wherever the ink passed, the snot monster gave way, and even gave way to a way for him to get out.

This method is indeed good, but it takes a lot of ink. At the end of the spray, his body couldn't help shaking slightly, and the octopus claws were a little weak. Fortunately, he escaped from the snot monster's siege safely.

It's too much, he really sprayed without a drop...

Standing on the edge of a seabed, Zhang Zexi looked back at the sea beasts that were fighting in a group behind him, dragged his trembling body and jumped down from the edge, buffered by the buoyancy of the seawater, moving the octopus claws from time to time Adjust the direction to avoid getting hurt on which stone you knock on.

The return journey is much faster than the climb up, and it saves effort. If he feels that the speed is fast, he will open the octopus claws and let the film between the octopus claws form an umbrella shape to help him land steadily.

When he landed on the lower seabed, the light on the seabed was already very weak, so Zhang Zexi planned to find a habitat.

His landing place is not the starting point of his climb, but it belongs to the same layer of seabed. The dangers on this layer of seabed are relatively less, at least with his ferocity, he can be a predator here rather than food.

Unless he can grow into a giant octopus of four or five meters, he should no longer have the idea of ​​taking risks.

The place where he landed is a bit subtle, there are actually a lot of octopuses living here.

Zhang Zexi couldn't see her whole body, so she couldn't judge whether she was the same family as these octopuses. Their colors were different, because octopuses had the ability to change color.

From Zhang Zexi's point of view, it doesn't matter whether he can tell whether these octopuses belong to his own group, because even if he and the octopuses are of the same species, he can't love them.Because the octopus itself has the habit of cannibalism, although the probability of eating the same kind should not be high when the food is sufficient, he can't guarantee that he will not encounter it. After all, octopuses sometimes even eat themselves when they are hungry!

Zhang Zexi silently left this area where octopuses were active, and came to a coral group next door.

The environment here is good, the food is rich in variety, and it is relatively safe. The most important thing is that it is convenient and quick to go out to hunt.

It's not that Zhang Zexi doesn't want to go ashore, but the prerequisite for him to go upstream is to be able to walk in front of all kinds of ferocious underwater creatures.

If only he could grow into the fabled Kraken...

Tsk tsk, then invincible.

It's a pity that all of this is just a fantasy of a teenager in middle school, and now he can only find a place to settle down temporarily before he can find out how to leave.

Wandering around for a while, Zhang Zexi found a seemingly hidden cave before the light completely dimmed.

The opening of the cave is not too big, but the space inside can be seen through the hole is not small.

He looked outside the cave, but there were no other occupants inside. There were only a few scattered shells and small conch shells in his sight range, and some things hanging from the ceiling. The light was a little weak, and he could only see a layer of silhouette. Still can't tell what it is from the silhouette.

If there is no danger, this may be his residence for some time to come.

He first inserted two octopus claws into the hole so that the tentacles could respond first when encountering danger, and then he stuffed his head in.

The situation inside is similar to what I saw outside the hole. There are some shells and conchs that have been eaten up inside the hole. Some of them may have been too long, and there is a layer of seaweed on them.

A string of droplet-shaped translucent substances sticking together hung from the top of the cave, like shrunken grapes, with two symmetrical black spots in each 'little grape', this is the true face of the silhouette he saw .

Although Zhang Zexi just graduated from high school, his father is a world-renowned marine biologist. He has read some materials about marine life. These drop-shaped particles should be unhatched octopus eggs. What kind of octopus it was, he couldn't tell from its appearance.

From this point of view, he entered the nest of other octopuses. The surface of the octopus eggs has been covered with a layer of off-white dirt and small dark green algae. The female octopus should not come home for a while. If the female octopus is still there , will not allow octopus eggs to be attached to dirty algae.

The female octopus will not leave the burrow after laying eggs. Since there is no female octopus in the burrow, it may have died.

Zhang Zexi occupied this ownerless lair without any burden. Before the seabed was completely dark, he began to clean up the garbage in the cave. He cleaned out the leftover shells and fish bones.

In the end, there were only octopus eggs hanging on the ceiling of the cave. Zhang Zexi's original plan was to clean up these octopus eggs as well.

His octopus claws have even reached the junction of the octopus egg and the rock top, but through the faint light, he saw the small eyes in the octopus egg.

At this moment, his heart softened.

If these octopus eggs finally hatch, there will be tens of thousands of lives, and he really can't do anything to clean up these lives as garbage.

In the end, he put down his octopus claws, and the baby octopus would leave after hatching, just waiting for a while.

Now that the octopus eggs are left, the next step is naturally to wait for the octopus eggs to hatch into baby octopuses.

After that, Zhang Zexi began his life of hatching eggs in addition to three meals a day.

Zhang Zexi will use octopus claws to help deal with the small algae and dirt attached to the octopus eggs, and spray out water jets from time to time to keep the water flowing smoothly.

It is common for humans to like to hatch eggs for other creatures. Zhang Zexi, who has a human soul, is also obsessed with the game of hatching eggs. Before he can't think of a way to go ashore, hatching eggs can also relieve stress.
