under the sea

In the end, He Zexi didn't beat Hua Zhipang up.

One reason is that he really can't beat Hua Zhi, and the other reason is because someone saved his life not long ago, and now he just woke up. In human terms, Hua Zhi is still recovering from a serious illness.

No matter how you look at it, to be rough on a patient who saved his life is a bit too heartless.

What's more—you can hug as much as you like, and you won't lose a piece of meat. After He Zexi comforted himself in this way, he looked at the flower branch lightly, thinking that it was just a squid. Its biological genes are different, and it can do What did you get?

However, after a long time, whenever He Zexi looked back on the past, he felt that he was too naive when he had such thoughts.

Since it is not possible to go back immediately, it means that life in the deep sea must continue.He Zexi is not a person who likes to waste time. After his stomach growled, he felt that it was time for him to eat.

In the past few days, he has been eating the oysters and other things brought back from hunting, and it was really hard to swallow at the beginning.Fresh food without condiments is not tasty at all, plus worrying about parasites, He Zexi ate with fear.

But if you eat too much, you will become numb. Compared with being sick, the words of living are much more important.

However, during these days when Huazhi was lethargic, He Zexi had already eaten up the few shellfish he had brought back.Now, He Zexi decided to go out and find something to eat by himself.

Huazhi glanced at He Zexi, seeing him leaving the house alone, with his ten tentacles tied several knots, and then forcibly holding back and ignoring him.

He actually wanted to follow He Zexi very much, but he had just been scolded by him, and now he was a little embarrassed.

Those little black fishes that were always swimming around came running over again, yelling around the flower branches while shaking their tails, "It's over~ It's over~~~ That human is going to die~~~ That human is going to die la~~~~"

The flower branch flicked towards the wrist and hit one of the little black fish.

Seeing that their companion was hit, the rest of the little black fish screamed in fright and ran around, yelling even more vigorously, "That human is going to die~~~~ That human is going to die~~~~~ "

Hua Zhi turned around and said arrogantly: "If you die, die, don't bother me!"

5 minutes later.

He Zexi hasn't come back yet.

The flower branches slowly slid down from the pillars of the house.

Why haven't you come back... Will you encounter any danger.

On the ground, the little black fish that had been beaten to pieces by the flower branch came back to its senses, shook its fish head with stars in its eyes, and continued to mutter: "That human is going to die~~~~ That human I want... I want to die~~~~"

"Crack~~~"

Another wrist fell on the little black fish, and the little black fish who had just got up from the ground was convulsed again.

Hua Zhi withdrew her tentacle wrist, staring solemnly at the direction He Zexi left just now, he thought it was impossible, he had to follow to see.

……

He Zexi was not in danger.

In the deep sea, it is difficult to find food that He Zexi can eat directly. This sea area is very large. In addition to avoiding some ferocious deep-sea carnivorous fish, He Zexi has to make marks along the way as he advances, so as not to get lost in the sea. out of the way.

After walking for a long time, he found a large edible crab in a seabed mud bed.

He Zexi knew this kind of crab. It was called King Crab, also known as Pseudo-Stone Crab.The blue-gray shell is not too different in color from the mud on the bottom of the sea, and its motionless appearance on the bottom of the sea can easily make people mistake it for just a piece of rotten rock on the bottom of the sea.

There are about twenty such big crabs in the mud bed, and each one is as big as a washbasin.Six legs that are much longer than ordinary crabs are coiled on both sides of the body, and a pair of chelicerae are clawing at the front to pick up some aquatic plants such as seaweed and send them to the mouth.

The king crab has very long legs and claws, with eight thin and long legs coiled on both sides, making it look like a spider on land.

Although the appearance is a bit ugly, the meat of king crab is very delicious. It is a rare seafood. The most important thing is that you only need to catch one, and He Zexi can eat it for a long time.

But these king crabs are densely packed together, waving more than a dozen large pincers that are longer than an adult's hand, as if to warn anyone approaching, as long as he dares to come over, they will pinch his arms into joints.It's not easy to start at all, you have to find a way to disperse them, so that you can catch some.

He Zexi approached the mud bed and stopped at a safe distance of three meters away from the king crab.Then, with all his strength, he threw the slippery bottom rock that he picked up just now towards the mud bed where the king crabs lived.

The stone traveled in the sea water, drew a trail of transparent bubbles, and then fell lightly into the king crab group—without any force.

One of the king crabs was lucky enough to be hit in the shell, and the stone fell on its body. The eating action of the two claws of the king crab stopped for less than half a second, and then continued to eat as if nothing had happened.

He Zexi was helpless.

The buoyancy of objects in the deep sea is too great, coupled with the resistance of sea water, he can't scare the king crabs at all.

He Zexi stood where he was, looking at the king crabs eating quietly in the mud bed, thinking about the feasibility of jumping directly into the king crab group to catch one out.

After half a minute of silence, He Zexi decided to change his prey target.

As soon as he turned around, he met a pair of big eyes staring at his back.

He Zexi: "..."

Why is he here?

Looking down, the big-eyed tentacles carried a bunch of half-dead king crabs, about four or five of them.

Noticing He Zexi's gaze, Huazhi was terrified. He had watched the whole process of He Zexi trying to catch crabs just now, and Huazhi felt that He Zexi really couldn't do without him.

But Huazhi put the crab behind her in a special way, and said to He Zexi in a very bad tone: "Don't think that I will eat it for you."

He Zexi froze for a moment, then nodded, "...Oh, good."

Seeing that He Zexi really left just like that, Hua Zhi became furious, so angry that even the color of her body changed, wouldn't she beg him?He doesn't like to eat this ghost crab.

He Zexi didn't think too much about it, he just felt that Huazhi had no obligation to help him find food, and he couldn't always rely on Huazhi, he needed to learn to survive on the bottom of the sea.

After walking for a while, He Zexi turned around and found that Huazhi was slowly following behind him with a bunch of king crabs in his hands, and he couldn't help being a little surprised.After walking a long way, He Zexi looked back, Huazhi was still following him...

Seeing that He Zexi turned his head to look at her, Hua Zhi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and stretched out a few tentacles to force her respect: "What are you looking at? Can't you just drop by!"

He Zexi was silent for a while, then nodded emphatically, "Yes."

It's okay, but I didn't expect that your aging speed is slower than mine.

Although he complained so much in his heart, He Zexi couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in his heart, it felt like rain after a long drought.Hearing the rustling sound of the flower branches dragging the crab to follow him all the way behind him, the corners of He Zexi's mouth curled up almost imperceptibly.

He Zexi has always been a smart person, he knew that the king crab in Huazhi's hand was caught specially for him, and he also knew that Huazhi followed him to protect himself.

After all, the king squid incident that day is still vivid in my memory.

Although human beings claim to be the spirits of all things and the well-deserved overlords on land, but under this huge deep sea, when danger comes, he realizes that his power is like a drop in the vast universe compared with a drop in the ocean when facing danger. , Tiny and pitiful.

So that day when he saw Hua Zhi standing up to protect himself, He Zexi was really shocked.

Seeing Hua Zhi collapsed at his feet exhausted, He Zexi's thank you came from the heart.

He Zexi is an orphan who was abandoned by his biological parents when he was very young. It was the professor who picked him up from under the bridge hole by the river. In this world, except for the professor, there is no other person who treats him like this. good.

Now, it seems that there is another one, although Huazhi may not be considered a person.Thinking of this, He Zexi couldn't help but let out a chuckle.

For unknown reasons, Huazhi tensed all over her body, pinched the string of king crabs trying to escape from her tentacles, and looked at He Zexi suspiciously:

What is he laughing at?

He Zexi made a sudden turn in direction, bumping into Hua Zhi.

Unexpectedly, He Zexi turned around suddenly, and was sullenly annoyed at why he was so humble and shameless, and the flower branch directly bumped into He Zexi.

Fortunately, the strength on both sides was not strong. He Zexi just felt that his chest was a little stuffy when he was hit. When he looked up, he saw Huazhi holding a bunch of king crab pestles the size of a washbasin as if he was running away from home with a pile of bags. He Zexi finally couldn't hold back his laughter as he didn't react.

Enough of laughing, He Zexi squeezed the new tentacles that just grew out of the flower branch, and said, "Let's go, I'm going back."

Hua Zhi followed behind He Zexi, her first reaction was that it was really like bumping into a sponge, it was soft and warm.The second reaction was, - "Aren't you catching crabs?"

He Zexi smiled and said, "Didn't you catch it?"

Huazhi came back to her senses immediately, hugged her several king crabs, and said to He Zexi without compromise: "Hmph, please let me eat it for you."

He Zexi said kindly and authentically: "Alright, please, please."
