After becoming an octopus

Xiao Hei pulled the cart and floated above the territory of the White Shark Clan, gradually getting out of the influence of the current and tide, and then slowly went downstream, looking for a landing point where he could dock.

Finally, when he landed on a large open space and left the channel of sea currents, Zhang Zexi felt the sufficient energy contained in the sea water. If Zhang Zexi had appeared here at the beginning, then his strength might be even stronger than now .

The white sharks who were busy all around cast their gazes at them.

When Zhang Zexi got off the sponge car, it was the first time he enjoyed this kind of sensational debut and the attention of the crowd, hehe, I'm so embarrassed.

Seeing the strange differentiated creatures entering the territory, the patrolling white shark swam over to ask about the situation.

The appearance of the Mermaid Clan is indeed not in Zhang Zexi's aesthetic point of view. There are no eyebrows and eyelashes on the face of the Mermaid Clan, and the mouth is a bit wide open.

What he is most dissatisfied with is probably the absence of eyebrows. When human beings make various expressions, eyebrows can play a role in conveying emotions, and after having eyebrows, a person's spirit will change.

The patrolling white sharks were only conducting routine interrogations. Seeing that there were also white sharks in their team, these patrolling guards relaxed their questioning a lot.

"Where do you come from, and what are you doing here in my White Shark Clan?" Seeing Zhang Zexi's position in the team, the leader of the patrolling White Shark asked Zhang Zexi.

"We just came from the lower seabed, and we plan to join our friends in the Mantis Shrimp tribe." Zhang Zexi looked around. The creatures living in the white shark's territory are not only white sharks, but they may be unfamiliar faces. Only then did it attract attention.

Duman stepped forward to help explain: "I can testify for them. I just came from the lower seabed with them."

"What are you doing on the lower seabed?" The patrol guard was a little puzzled. "It seems that there is no mission to the lower seabed recently."

"I was accidentally injured and was saved by them." After Duman explained, he still showed the wound on the fish's tail.

"Since that's the case, you can do whatever you want." The patrolling white shark beckoned his subordinates to patrol elsewhere.

After watching them walk away, Zhang Zexi couldn't help asking: "Is the territory of other races also like this? You seem to be very strict with outsiders, and there are even clansmen who patrol specifically."

"It's not. It's just that our group is more cautious. It is said that we learned it from humans. Look at our nest, isn't it beautiful? We also learned how to build such a nest from humans. "

Not far away is a small single-family building. This house is said to have been learned from humans, but it is really hard to tell from its appearance.

This house does not look like a boxy human building, but rather irregular, more like a random shape. The surface of the house also looks like a layer of white stones covering the surface, which is why When viewed from a distance, the house and the environment are almost integrated.Some of the pretty ones even top it off with decorative anemone corals and brightly colored shells.

Although the appearance is different, I heard that the internal structure is actually very similar, but he has no close contact with them, and only guessed something from Duman's description.

"Let's go too, you are familiar with this place, help us guide the way." Zhang Zexi thought it's better not to stay in place for too long, and to avoid any accidents.

Duman was really familiar with the roads of the Shark Race, and asked, "Go to the sky or go to the ground? Do you go directly to the mantis shrimp's territory?"

"Let's go on the ground, I haven't had time to visit the territory of your tribe." Zhang Zexi was very curious about the buildings in the Yuzu tribe, and finally decided to walk close to the seabed. .

Duman showed them the way, and Xiao Hei was pulling the cart in front. They were on their way most of the time, and only when they encountered interesting things occasionally, they would stop to play for a while and take a rest.

Zhang Zexi saw a lot of buildings on the way, similar to what Duman said, their houses are not like the lairs of ordinary creatures, and the end can be seen at a glance.

The shark's lair does not have the living room, bedroom, or kitchen. It is indeed somewhat similar to the internal structure of a human house, but due to the limitations of materials, it cannot be completely similar.

It is also reasonable to say that the architecture learned from humans.

In addition to the house buildings, some roads have been opened around the house. The width of these roads is very small, and most creatures will not walk on the bottom of the sea. These routes are just road signs indicating the direction. There are road signs on both sides of each road. , there were graphics on the sign that Zhang Zexi couldn't understand, and Duman told him that this was the language of their Shark Clan.

When Zhang Zexi heard the news, he was shocked.

Creatures on the bottom of the sea will diverge, and being able to communicate is nothing, but writing is a sign of civilization, which is another civilization belonging to the underwater world.

Zhang Zexi became extremely interested in these civilizations, and was even more curious about their living environment.

"Will differentiated creatures of other races also use these words?" Zhang Zexi began to ask Duman for detailed information.

Duman said: "The spread of writing is not widespread. Except for the mermaid race, other races rarely use our writing. Occasionally, some differentiated creatures come to learn, but the race that brought them back cannot spread."

"Why? Words are good things." Zhang Zexi wanted to learn new words herself.

Duman said: "Probably only us mermaids think so. Most differentiated creatures are unwilling to learn characters and think that learning characters is useless."

Zhang Zexi was silent for a while, maybe everyone's current pursuit is just to eat and sleep after eating, and they don't have much pursuit of other entertainment items, which caused the phenomenon of unwillingness to learn words.

Just like Xiao Hei, he is probably the kind of creature who doesn't like to learn words.

Putting down the matter of writing for now, Zhang Zexi observed the surrounding environment.

The world here is not like the human world, which almost squeezes the living space of other creatures.

Except for these strange buildings, most of the creatures living here are undifferentiated creatures. These undifferentiated creatures live in a small ecological circle, where there are no sharks, and all kinds of creatures will divide their own territory and multiply. live.

Under the condition of ensuring that they have sufficient food, differentiated creatures will never kill innocent people indiscriminately. After all, there are only a few creatures that can differentiate. to be the prey of other races.

"How long will it take?" Zhang Zexi wandered around again before asking Duman.

Duman said: "There is still a long way to go. If we are really in a hurry, we can walk in mid-air, and the speed should be faster that way."

Zhang Zexi hesitated for a moment, but decided to continue the route close to the seabed.

Before arriving at Xiagu's territory, the patrol captains who had left before went back and forth. They had serious expressions on their faces. When they saw Zhang Zexi and other creatures, they hurried over to check the situation.

"Why are you here?" The captain paused for a moment, as if he thought it was inappropriate to ask such a question, and asked instead, "Did you see any suspicious creatures?"

Zhang Zexi wanted to say that you guys are the most suspicious looking here, but his rationality pulled him back, and he took the initiative to reply: "No."

Zhang Zexi immediately asked again: "Did something happen?"

The patrol team did not answer his question, with a look of vigilance on their faces.

Zhang Zexi estimated that this was some kind of family secret, so he didn't ask further.

After they traveled far, Zhang Zexi said to Duman: "Why don't we go and ask what happened?"

Without waiting for their answer, Zhang Zexi randomly found a house closest to them, and asked Duman to inquire about the situation, while they stood behind and listened.

This white shark is an old man, slowly eating a fish at the door, the picture looks a little scary.

When Duman asked about the patrol team, the old white shark seemed to be a little dissatisfied, but the dissatisfaction was not aimed at them, but at the patrol team, "What else could it be? The shark pearl was stolen again. There have been several incidents recently. The last search was all because of this incident." Old Baiyu said angrily, "They don't think much about something as important as shark beads."

When Zhang Zexi got this answer, he was stunned. He felt that he and Xiazhu probably had some fate.Almost every time they meet the Shark Clan, their Shark Beads are all stolen!

Zhang Zexi asked with concern: "I remember the last time I encountered shark beads being stolen, and the thief was Blue Shark. Who is the thief committing the crime now?"

The old white shark looked at Zhang Zexi suspiciously, "Didn't it steal the shark pearl when it was stolen?"

Zhang Zexi was not choked by this answer, "When was the last time shark beads were stolen?"

"Isn't it just ten days ago?" Old Baiyu took it for granted.

What exactly do the sharks eat?It's just catching a thief, and it's not over for so long.The image of the Mermaid Clan in Zhang Zexi's heart was completely shattered. He had never seen any race whose sacred relics could be stolen again and again. Even the little thief couldn't be caught. Zhang Zexi was really skeptical The ability of the shark clan.

Look at this old man, when he heard that the sacred objects of the family were stolen, he still went about his own business leisurely, which shows that this matter has reached the point where everyone is accustomed to it.

Zhang Zexi saw that the old man was so relieved, he didn't bother to pay attention to this matter, after all, the matter was none of his business, their own clansmen didn't care, and of course he had nothing to worry about.

Zhang Zexi thought to herself, she should not be so lucky to meet blue sharks as soon as she went out, right?

After inquiring about the news, they set off again, and finally stepped into the territory of the Mantis Shrimp Clan before the anglerfish lights were completely extinguished.

"Is there a white shark coming?" The mantis shrimps saw Duman from a distance, and several mantis shrimps discussed and came forward to greet him.

After a while, they were surrounded by mantis shrimps.

Zhang Zexi looked at Duman, "I can't see that you are so popular."

Duman didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Mantis Shrimp was originally a subsidiary of their Shark Clan, so it's normal to have such an attitude.
