After becoming an octopus

Zhang Zexi returned to the stone slab. After knowing that it was a gem, his movements became much gentler. Although this thing might not be worth much in the sea, he was reluctant to damage it just because of its beautiful appearance.

Zhang Zexi continued to cut some corners with a knife, and after cutting out a cross section four times, he could slightly see the inside of the rough stone. The middle layer was blue gemstones, and the upper and lower layers were also gray. Stone.

He carefully chipped off the gray parts on both sides, leaving only a thin layer of coverage. Since the blue gemstone sandwiched in the middle of the stone slab is not very uniform, these more protruding parts were also cut off when cutting.

After leaving the middle interlayer, he didn’t continue the rest of the action. He gave up the idea at the beginning. These things seemed a bit ostentatious. He decided to get them back and polish them. Let’s keep this plain appearance for now.

Zhang Zexi and Xiao Hei carried this stone slab onto the sponge car, regardless of whether the ground was rough or not, they picked up a pile in a mess, and finally dug two large stone pillars carefully.

"Let's go back now? Aren't we looking for materials?" Xiao Hei helped move the stones, a little confused.

"Didn't we come here just to find a slate? Now that we have found the slate, it happens to be used as a bed." Zhang Zexi thought that Xiao Hei's ordinary sponge bed could be spotted by the emperor octopus. This kind of blue gem Emperor Octopus should also like the cast bed.

Back home, before things were unloaded from the sponge car, Zhang Zexi directly hugged the conch filled with blue transparent liquid, and was going to ask Lanwa about the situation.

"Help me look at these things first, I'll go to the coral colony and I'll be back." Zhang Zexi slipped away quickly after speaking.

He got the blue tile out of a lover's lair, "help me find out what this is." He handed the conch to his face, tilted slightly, intending to pour out the liquid inside, but after pouring for a long time, he didn't see the blue tile. The shadow of the colored liquid.

"What do you want me to see?" Lanwa followed his movements and stared at the conch for a long time without seeing anything.

"Why can't it be poured out?" Zhang Zexi felt depressed. Could this blue liquid dissolve in the sea water?

It shouldn't be. When he saw it before, the blue liquid and sea water were clearly in a layered state. Did it really melt in the water after a long time?

Reluctantly, Zhang Zexi dug inside, feeling a hard yet soft touch, dug hard, and pulled out a ball of blue paste.

"What is this?" Lanwa looked puzzled when he saw it.

"If I knew, would I still ask you?" Zhang Zexi didn't have time to argue with the other party for a while, and focused all his attention on the things in the conch.The color of this paste is similar to the blue liquid it was poured into before. That is to say, after the blue liquid is separated from the stone pillar, the texture will become like this paste?

He squeezed it, and squeezed it again, and found that the blue slime-like thing was very malleable.

"From your point of view, is this thing valuable?" Although Zhang Zexi knew that Lanwa didn't know this thing, she still wanted to hear his opinion.

Lanwa got closer and felt it, "Without energy fluctuations, it should be of little value."

Zhang Zexi couldn't accept the fact that the blue transparent slime was kneading in her tentacles, so it looks so good, but its function is to squeeze mud for fun?

Zhang Zexi was very disappointed and decided to take the things back for the little octopus to play with.

Since the things were worthless, he lost interest and planned to ask some information about the upper seabed.

For example, what should be paid attention to on the upper seabed, which creatures can't be provoked by oneself, and which ones can be provoked by oneself?

Lan Wa said: "The edge of the upper seabed has the most predators, and most of them are not differentiated organisms. They can directly pass the boundary area through ocean currents. The possibility of encountering danger is not high. There are many groups of people on the upper seabed, and differentiated organisms Maybe they won’t attack you, but undifferentiated creatures are not necessarily so, so no matter where you go, be careful and vigilant, the creatures on the upper seabed are very ferocious.”

Zhang Zexi asked: "Which creatures should we pay attention to?"

"That's too much. If you ask me to give an example, I can talk for three days. In short, when you meet an opponent and feel that you can't beat them, don't provoke them."

Zhang Zexi felt that what he said was unreliable. If this guy had known time and affairs, he would not have been interrupted by himself.

Lanwa was a little embarrassed, and quickly changed the subject, "Why do you ask so many things about the upper seabed? Do you also want to visit the upper seabed?"

"I do have this plan, but not now. I may need some preparations." Zhang Zexi wrote down the information.

"You have a good idea. If you reach the upper seabed, you can come to me." Lan Wa learned that Zhang Zexi also wanted to go to the upper seabed, but he was actually quite looking forward to it.

"How can I find you when I go to the upper seabed?"

"You go up with the current and tide, and be careful to choose the upward passage, otherwise you may be sent to a more remote place." Lanwa began to explain the precautions for the current and tide passage, but it is very difficult to experience it personally. Difficulty understanding the concepts in his words.

"When you get to the upper seabed, pay more attention to the surrounding environment. There are many statues on the upper seabed. If you see the statues of the sharks, leave the current and enter the location of the sharks."

"Understood, what about after we settle down?"

"You can ask the nearby differentiated creatures for directions. When you reach the boundary of the white shark, ask about the gathering place of the mantis shrimp. The creatures living nearby should know where our territory is."

"When I arrive at your clan land, how can I find you?"

"Ask my people directly, they will tell you where my home is. If you don't come to me, I can show you the way. In our territory, you will not be harmed for no reason."

Zhang Zexi asked some details carefully, and Lanwa told him more details, Zhang Zexi took out a slate to record the precautions.

After getting the answer she wanted, Zhang Zexi went back to making a bed for Mrs. Haibed.

The stone slab that they dragged back earlier had been unloaded from the sponge car. Zhang Zexi handled the edges and corners carefully, keeping the sapphire part as much as possible. He found a few rough-surfaced slabs. The stone began to rub against the slate, and he wanted to try to see if he could rub off the surface of the slate.

It is too rough to cut down directly with a knife, and it is easy to break the stone slab. It is fine to cut the skin again. Now that it is close to the sapphire inside, there is no need to take risks.

It took him a trip to pull back such a usable slate, and now even if he was asked to look for another one, he couldn't find it.

After Zhang Zexi prepared everything, he started construction near the lair.

Listening to the rustling sound, the little octopus stuck its head out from behind the rock to watch.

The little octopuses originally wanted to help, but Zhang Zexi's hands were too fast. This sapphire didn't have a large operable area. With his rough movements, he might hurt the little octopuses, so there was no need for the little octopuses to come over to help.

It took Zhang Zexi a day and dozens of stones to polish the bed completely.It is also because of his many tentacles and the fast rotation speed of the octopus claws that he can clean up in such a short time

The original stone was cut off by one-third of the waste rock at the beginning. Although the gemstone left in the end was not smooth, it was patched with a sponge, and it was also suitable for use as the bottom board of the bed.

The blue gemstone bed board is shining with dots of light under the light, and there are some very beautiful dark lines in the blue.

When Zhang Zexi saw such lines, he felt the ingenious workmanship of nature. Human crafts may be able to produce the same effect, saying that it lacked a charm close to nature.

Zhang Zexi came back to his senses, and found that the little octopus was getting into the conch and coming out again.

Only then did he realize that there seemed to be something else in the conch, so he quickly pulled out the little octopus from the conch.

He continued to touch the conch, but he felt a hard texture.

The liquid previously poured into the conch seemed to have frozen.

He hurriedly looked for the blue paste he dug out from the conch last time.

The last time he threw it away at a random place, it took a while before he retrieved the lump of blue paste, and when he touched it with his hand, the original paste had condensed into a lump.

He looked at the crystal-clear blue lump in his hand, and put it on the gemstone he found, and suddenly found that their materials were very similar, both in color and texture, maybe this thing could complement the sapphire bed board Irregularity on top.

Zhang Zexi got an idea and started to practice it. He found the two stone pillars brought back last time. If they were filled with blue liquid, the volume of blue liquid should be enough to repair the possibly irregular bed frame.

Zhang Zexi cut open the tip of the stone pillar with a single knife, and saw blue liquid coming out again.

Zhang Zexi tilted the stone pillar and poured the liquid from the stone pillar onto the sapphire bed frame.Fill in some rough spots.

Zhang Zexi didn't know the time it took for these liquids to condense into a paste and then solidify, so he poured a small pool of blue liquid beside him, and every once in a while, he would test the condition of this small pool of liquid to see if it had Solidifies and hardens.

In the end, it was found that it took half a day for these liquids to completely solidify from a paste.

But the final result is still gratifying. The liquid that Zhang Zexi filled the gap seemed to be integrated with the original sapphire. If he hadn't poured it himself, he would have doubted that this sapphire was originally such a whole.

There is also a part on the edge, and it needs to wait for the blue liquid to become a paste before it can be applied to the uneven sapphire bed frame like cement.

He didn't waste the time waiting for the solidification, and started to squeeze things with the blue liquid. He planned to make some decorations on the bed to make it more gorgeous.

Perhaps it should be a cameo?

Make an octopus cameo?
