After becoming an octopus

Zhang Zexi wanted to get closer to the newborn baby octopuses, after all, they were their own cubs.

He tentatively stretched out the end of the tentacles and approached one of the little octopuses, expecting the other party to give it a high-five, but this was just his wishful thinking. The first reaction of the little octopus seeing the octopus' claws was not to give it a high-five, but to give it a high-five. Try to swing the short tentacles and paddle the water to swim away.

Zhang Zexi tried several small octopuses without giving up, but none of them were willing to talk to him.

Zhang Zexi: "..." This cliff is not her own.

After some of the baby octopuses hatched, they would run towards the entrance of the cave after staying in the nest for a while, while some did not leave and wandered around in the cave.

The flow rate of the water outside the cave was much lower than yesterday, and the flowing water sent some miscellaneous things into the cave or near the cave, bringing greater vitality to this sea area.

The little octopus is just like a curious child. After swimming around in the cave, it seemed to lose its freshness, so it swam out of the cave.

Zhang Zexi knew how dangerous it was outside the cave, but the small octopuses were too small and there were too many of them, so he really couldn't control their thoughts and could only let them develop.

With a good start, more and more small octopuses broke their shells. In a blink of an eye, hundreds of small octopuses left the cave, familiarized themselves with the environment outside the cave, or instinctively ate plankton in the sea.

The currents bring a lot of rich plankton, which can just provide food for the newborn baby octopuses.

These little octopuses were never too close to Zhang Zexi from the beginning to the end, perhaps because of their nature, octopuses are a race that feed on their companions, they are so hungry that even their own kind will attack.

They are destined to adapt to the environment when they came to this world. Death is the most common phenomenon. Melancholy, these are all cubs hatched by him, thinking that they may be killed by predators at any time, I can't help but feel a little unbearable.I don't know how much I can survive in the end.

It's not that he doesn't want to take care of them, but there are too many octopuses hatching at one time. Can he protect one, two, three... Can he protect thousands of them?

With his current strength, it is obviously impossible, so he can only let these little octopuses fend for themselves, adapt to the current ecological environment, and survival of the fittest is the law of nature. He is not arrogant enough to think that he can compete with nature. contend.

By early evening, nearly a third of the octopus eggs had hatched.

Zhang Zexi was frustrated by the little octopus, and soon lost the desire to tease her. She pulled a barnacle, opened it, and prepared to have a feast.

The moment the barnacles opened, the little octopuses in the nest seemed to be frozen, and their little sesame eyes turned to Zhang Zexi.

Zhang Zexi was suddenly annotated by so many small eyes, her body froze for a moment, and she didn't want to understand what happened.

The little octopuses didn't move around randomly, they just stared at Zhang Zexi...and the barnacles on his octopus claws.

It's just that it may be due to Zhang Zexi's power, the little octopuses are eager for food but hesitate to go forward, so they look a little bit embarrassed.

Zhang Zexi could see their intentions.If you guessed right, it won't be long before these little octopuses will leave their nests and leave their fathers completely. The little octopuses are small and don't eat much. After all, they are cubs hatched by themselves. He has done his duty as a father.

The little octopuses were afraid of Zhang Zexi, so they didn't dare to go forward. Zhang Zexi pushed the meat away from him, but it was still within his reach. There was no way, the space in the cave was only so big , even if he wanted to stay away, there was nothing he could do.

Even though he had already made concessions, the little octopuses still didn't dare to step forward.

On the contrary, many little octopuses in the eggs are about to move, and the number of little octopuses ready to break free is more than ten times,

Soon, the first baby octopus that was tempted by delicious food struggled out of its eggs.

This newborn baby octopus is a bit aggressive, it doesn't seem to be aware of any danger at all, it is attracted by the smell of food, just broke free from the egg, it swam to the pried open barnacle meat with all its strength, and fell on it with a 'slap' Eat on the crystal clear meat.

With such a start, the other little octopuses were not to be outdone, and after observing Zhang Zexi carefully for a while, they lay down on the barnacle meat one after another and began to eat.

Small octopuses are just born and usually feed on small plankton, but big barnacles are different. The texture of the meat is very similar to lychee meat, and the taste is very tender. Even small octopuses are easy to eat.

After a while, the little octopuses who had been playing wild outside the cave seemed to smell the delicious food, and swam back to the entrance of the cave again. A small group of octopuses clawed at the edge of the cave entrance to spy on the situation inside.

Found the little octopus that was eating madly, how could the little octopus outside could bear it, and joined in the dispute over food.

There were too many octopuses, and a barnacle disappeared within 2 minutes. Some small octopuses were able to grab food, but some had to leave.

Zhang Zexi took out the remaining two and smashed them open for the little octopuses to eat. On the first day of these children's birth, they should have a full meal and celebrate their birthdays. In the future, even if he wants to If you help to celebrate, you may not be able to find the little octopus. What's more, in such a world, he doesn't know the year and month at all, so he can't talk about celebrating his birthday.

What Zhang Zexi thought at the beginning was to let the little octopuses have a good meal and go on the road after eating. They won't be able to keep them anyway, so it's better to be more open.

But I don't know if the bribe of his little food played a role. On the second day, there were still many octopuses that never left. There were so many octopuses that he couldn't remember clearly, and he didn't know if there were any small octopuses that left. Perhaps they all stayed, or they had become food for other creatures when they went out.

Zhang Zexi pried open a barnacle and continued to feed the baby octopus.

Although there are many small octopuses, they are really small. Three or four barnacles are enough for them to have a full meal. The food is not big, but he should be able to afford it.

Zhang Zexi is unwilling to discuss the issue of destroying the balance of the biological chain at this time. From the perspective of human rights and wrongs, it is inhumane to live but not to raise...ah no, it is inhumane to just hatch and not raise. Although it somewhat destroys the growth track of octopuses, but He is also an octopus now, so it doesn't belong to destroying the ecological balance of other species, right?

To talk about destruction, in fact, since he hatched these little octopuses, the fish life of these little octopuses has changed. Since they are all in the first grade of junior high school, why not be in the fifteenth grade?

Zhang Zexi simply abandoned the original idea, at least to create a better living environment for the baby octopus he hatched within his ability, and if the baby octopus grows up and still wants to leave, he will do so.

Two days later, the baby octopuses in the octopus eggs had basically hatched, and some remained in the octopus eggs, which may either delay hatching or die early.

A large group of little orange things looks scary, and when they gather together, trypophobia can strike, but thinking that these are all little things he hatched, he feels a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

But then, he faced another problem - food shortage.

Some time ago, the barnacles carried back on the barnacle mountain and the food collected nearby were almost consumed in the past two days.

Zhang Zexi wanted to eat himself, and so did the little octopus, so many mouths were still waiting for him to feed.

Originally, he had been hiding for a long time because of the frequent activity of the striped long-whiskered catshark. His food was consumed very quickly, and even the seaweed he had brought back had been eaten up.

The small octopus did not leave the nearby range of activities. Since the striped long-whiskered catshark left along the ocean current, the danger here has been reduced by a notch. Even the small octopus will not encounter much danger, but the number of small octopuses is too large. Zhang Zexi couldn't remember all of them, and he didn't know if a small octopus was damaged.

But compared to other small octopuses, the environment here will be much better than outside.

Zhang Zexi would check around from time to time, and when encountering marine life that might cause harm to the small octopus, he would take the initiative to drive it away, or catch it as food, and if he encountered a large school of fish that was difficult to avoid, Zhang Zexi would pry it open. Put a barnacle in the cave, and the little octopuses would swarm over and gather in the cave when they smelled it. Zhang Zexi blocked the entrance of the cave with shells.
