After becoming an octopus

After Zhang Zexi crashed into the white water curtain, he felt like he was on a roller coaster, with both speed and excitement. The rare thing is that he didn't feel the pain of being slapped by the sea water, which didn't make him feel uncomfortable.

Facts have proved that the behavior of holding on to the sponge car is completely unnecessary. In the channel of ocean currents, the body seems to have entered a state of inertia. As long as it moves forward at a constant speed, it will not suddenly lean forward or backward.

Zhang Zexi quickly calmed down, no longer hugging her cubs tightly, and put them back in the car, allowing them to have more freedom of movement and live more comfortably.

Xiao Er patted his big ears, and came to the edge of the sponge car curiously.

Looking from the inside to the outside, you can see the scenery passing by outside the passage.

Zhang Zexi glanced at it, slightly surprised, because looking inward from the outside of the sea, he couldn't see the internal situation at all. For a while, he actually had the feeling of being on the submarine express.

The other little octopuses also seemed to have discovered the strangeness in the passage, and crowded to the edge of the sponge car one after another.

They are not the only 'travelers' in the current channel. There are various types of creatures floating in mid-air around them, most of them are just cubs, and only a small part take advantage of the characteristics of the current channel to take the free 'bus'.

Zhang Zexi's family also belonged to the category of free bus rides.

Qiaoqiao stared at a salmon, "Dad, I'm hungry."

The salmon that had been staring at it with its hungry wolf eyes seemed to feel something, its body shook, and it accidentally ran a little far away, and was hit by the current of the tide, and fell out of the passage.

Qiaoqiao was obviously a little disappointed, feeling as if a cooked duck flew away.

Zhang Zexi couldn't help feeling that this salmon was quite lucky, but now he still had to solve the problem of the child's hunger.

When they left, they made ample preparations. The food they brought out were shellfish and conch, which are easy to store for a long time. Zhang Zexi took out a few sea clams from the conch space, pried them open and placed them on the blue After fixing it on the sponge car, let the little octopuses come and eat it.

Duman was a little speechless. It was the first time he saw a creature having a picnic in the ocean current channel.

The little octopuses crawled back from the edge of the bed to eat.

Zhang Zexi jumped onto the bed where Gu Luo was with the food and fed him.

As the journey got longer and longer, Zhang Zexi could no longer see the direction of their home.

On the way, there are constantly creatures joining the team. Occasionally, some small animals accidentally fall out of the current channel. In the days to come, they will take root in the place they left behind, and perhaps spend their entire lives like this.

Looking at the passing fish coming and going, Zhang Zexi felt a little melancholy.

"There are quite a lot of creatures in the tide channel." Zhang Zexi stuffed a piece of clam meat into Gu Luo's mouth while chatting with Duman.

Duman explained: "Of course, many undifferentiated creatures on the upper seabed will be driven into the ocean current by the ethnic group, and there are also many differentiated creatures on the lower seabed who want to venture into the upper seabed. There is too little energy here to support them. become stronger, only by going to the upper seabed can we hope to continue to be stronger.”

Zhang Zexi was puzzled: "How did the differentiated organisms on the lower seabed know to run to the upper seabed?"

Although Duman's race does not have undifferentiated organisms, they also have some understanding of these things, and answered: "Is there any need to ask? Many differentiated organisms enter the ocean currents and come to the lower seabed when they are undifferentiated. After differentiation, they know the upper layer. There are some things on the sea floor that are normal."

Zhang Zexi raised another question: "Isn't the possibility of differentiation higher when staying on the upper seabed? Why do their clansmen still throw their undifferentiated siblings into the ocean current?"

Duman took it for granted: "Of course it is to prevent the occurrence of fighting among races. Although there are more races that will not differentiate and thus become food for differentiated creatures, there are many differentiated creatures. When food is not sufficient, they have to use undifferentiated organisms. And these undifferentiated organisms may be the descendants of differentiated organisms. If you accidentally eat the offspring of differentiated organisms, you may become enemies with the other party. When the other party eats your offspring, you can only I can admit it."

Zhang Zexi was thoughtful: "It is true."

Duman was a little addicted, and continued: "Later, in order to prevent their offspring from being eaten by other differentiated creatures, the group will put some of the same race that has not yet differentiated into the current tide, and let the current tide bring them to the lower seabed. Fend for itself, if there is a chance to successfully differentiate, then return to the upper seabed along the ocean current."

"The water is really deep." Zhang Zexi couldn't help but feel a little emotional after hearing this, even the bottom of the sea is not completely innocent.

"Huh?" Duman couldn't understand the meaning of the deep water.

Zhang Zexi didn't intend to explain this kind of thing that can only be understood by human beings.After feeding Guluo, he went back to the sponge car, and was quite tired from running around.

Just before he was thinking wildly, the sponge car turned a corner along the channel of the sea current and tide, and almost missed Zhang Zexi, but fortunately, he had many tentacles, so he had already packed his things and grasped the railing.

The little octopuses are also very fast, and they can get through everything they can catch in their hands

After turning the corner, a "Tongtian Avenue" appeared in front of him. This intersection actually overlapped with other ocean current passages, forming a similar intersection instead.

"Let's go to the right!" Duman made a decision immediately after seeing the fork in the road.

It was the first time for Zhang Zexi to go out like this. He suddenly heard the order, subconsciously agreed, and chose to follow Duman's guidance.

The Haiming car was very fast, and Xiao Hei pulled hard in the sea, turning their sponge car in one direction, and with a "pop", the sponge car crashed into the water curtain.

Almost at the same time, the sponge car penetrated the water curtain and rushed directly into another ocean current channel.Their direction of action almost turned around, turning back in the opposite direction.

Zhang Zexi saw the problem: "Are you sure this is the right way? Why do I feel like the car is going back?"

"We are indeed going back." Duman said calmly, "The flow direction of the current channel is circular. If we go straight along the original route, we will directly reach the edge of the lower seabed, where there will be It is the end point, and after arriving at the end point, the ocean current will go in the other direction. So we have taken a shortcut now."

Zhang Zexi thought about it carefully. Lanwa told himself earlier that he should choose the upward channel of the sea current. Now he can feel that his sponge car is indeed going upwards, so he is completely relieved, which shows that their The road is right.

There are still many interesting things on the way back. This time, the passengers have changed types. Most of them are differentiated creatures, and they are going to the upper seabed to flex their muscles and gain higher combat power.

Occasionally, some differentiated creatures will come to communicate with them, but these are very short-lived.

After a day and night journey, Zhang Zexi finally saw the figure on the upper seabed.

They were in the sea at this time, probably about 300 meters from the ground, and the rest of it was still extending upwards, like the track of a roller coaster, and the other end went straight to the upper seabed.

There are many impurities in the seawater, micro-algae and plankton block their vision to the distance.However, he could already vaguely see the fierce fighting on the outer edge of the upper sea city, and the outer edge will always be a hunting ground for fierce fighting.

The channel of the ocean current is still going upwards, and their angle of viewing things gradually changes, from looking up at the beginning to looking up, and finally to looking down.

When Zhang Zexi looked down, he really had the feeling of seeing all the mountains at a glance.

Looking from top to bottom, it can be seen that the upper seabed occupies a vast area.

Because the location he looked at was already a large area, but this was only a small part of the upper sea city. From this, it can be seen how big the location occupied by the upper sea ships should be?

Looking down at the circle below, the current and tide gradually approached the inner circle, and it didn't take long to enter the territory of the inner circle.

The appearance of the god statue shows that this territory is guarded by sea beasts, and it is also one of the signs of entering the inner circle.

Although they were a little far away from the statue, they could still feel the size of the statue. It was a sea shark baring its fangs. It was hard to tell what kind of sea shark it was. The statue combined the characteristics of several giant sharks, which made him distinguish I don't know which kind it belongs to, but I can only see the ferocity from the statue.

At the same time, he also saw strange buildings that did not match the bottom of the sea.

At first, he didn't realize that the piled up stones were actually buildings. After getting closer, he realized that the irregular stones had built nests. The buildings were scattered and integrated with nature, so he didn't pay attention It's easy to overlook his artifacts.

They passed the territory of sea sharks soon, and then entered the territory of another sea beast.

It was a statue of a mosasaurus. At first, Zhang Zexi thought that the statue of a mosasaurus might be a relic handed down from ancient times. After all, the mosasaurus had already disappeared in the long river of history.

But not long after, he saw a living mosasaur bite off the neck of its prey.

The mosasaurs are huge, and Zhang Zexi can clearly see their movements when they are hunting from a high place, and he is shocked. The Balance Sea Area is really a magical place. Except for some species that have never been seen before, you can actually see the animals that were once extinct. creature.

Until he left the territory of the mosasaur, he still felt a little bit like a dream.

After going through a few more statues, Zhang Zexi finally saw the statue of the Mermaid Clan from a distance.

A beautiful Shark woman stands in the center of the territory with a Shark Pearl in her hand.There are countless buildings standing under the statue, Zhang Zexi was a little surprised. Along the way, I have seen many ethnic groups, but only the buildings of the Mermaids are the most similar to human buildings, but maybe because the materials cannot be assembled, the final result is just a structure Similar, the color and materials do not match at all.

"We're here." Zhang Zexi looked at Duman, "Where is the best place to go down, we want to go to the mantis shrimp territory."

Duman said: "The territory of the mantis shrimp is within the territory of the white shark. When the time is right, I will tell you where to get off."

As for why there is no clear answer now, it is because the position of each current and tide is different, which makes it impossible for Duman to describe the exact location.

Somewhere close to the statue, Duman suddenly said: "It's right in front, let's go out."

Xiao Hei floated in the passage, waiting for Zhang Zexi to issue orders.

"Let's go out." Seeing that the timing was about right, Zhang Zexi let Xiao Hei pull the car out of the passage.
