After becoming an octopus

As soon as Zhang Zexi left, the little octopuses stopped eating crystal shrimp and chased their father away.

"Hey, wait for me!" Seeing that all the little octopuses present were chasing after Zhang Zexi, Xiao Hei could only follow with the sponge car.

The light in the canyon was dim, and only the crystal shrimp swimming in front of it shone with a little light. When the canyon was completely covered by darkness, the light refracted on the crystal shrimp disappeared.

The dim light had a certain impact on Zhang Zexi's vision. When he couldn't see the environment clearly, he was worried that the little octopus would get lost in the dark.

It's just that his worry didn't last long, and a little orange warm light lit up in the darkness again, and surrounded by the warm light were little octopuses flapping their ears.

At first, only a few small octopuses lit up, but the surrounding small octopuses seemed to be infected. At this moment, they all turned on the switch and turned on the lights.

Unlike the bright sun-like light of the anglerfish, the light of the baby octopus is soft like a night light and concentrated on the octopus' claws.

The light of a small octopus may be weak, but the combined light of thousands of small octopuses is enough to dispel the darkness in the canyon.

Zhang Zexi discovered that small octopuses can emit light not long ago. At that time, he thought it was an exception, because except for that small octopus, other small octopuses had never shown signs of glowing.

Good guy, today it is complete, all lighting up.

With the light, the shells of the crystal shrimps fleeing ahead reflected light again, and these lights acted as guiding lights for the little octopuses.

Crystal shrimp should be phototaxis organisms, they will be unconsciously attracted by luminous objects, and they will naturally approach the glowing little octopus.

The warm orange little octopuses are packaged in a cute appearance. If they are deceived by the appearance and ignore the fierceness hidden in their genes, the consequences are often fatal.

Whenever the crystal shrimp gets close to the small octopus due to the light source, they will be attacked by the electric current from them, and eventually become food in the octopus' mouth.

Xiao Hei mixed in the pile of octopuses and let out two screams from time to time. The electric attack from the little octopus attacking the crystal shrimp was indistinguishable, and it became the fish that harmed the fish in the pond. Some impact, but not enough to let it hurt.

Xiao Hei felt bitter, and the diamond-shaped seaweed was getting harder and harder to earn.

In addition to pulling the car, now also enjoy the full service of electroshock therapy.

Zhang Zexi knows how to use electricity now, it doesn't matter the little octopus's electric attack.It's just that facing the little octopus that can glow, I feel a little more emotional in my heart. This is another skill that the little octopus doesn't know for a while.This skill puts him one step further away from becoming their biological father.

Baby octopuses don't swim very fast, but that doesn't stop them from hunting.

Some crystal shrimps always fold back from time to time to get entangled with the glowing little octopuses, and eventually become the rations of the little octopuses.

Regardless of the small size of the crystal shrimp, the spikes on the top of their heads are also lethal, and the power of the group attack is not small, but their attacks basically cannot fall on the small octopus. Once they get close, they will be hit by the electric current , was captured by a small octopus when the body was paralyzed.

The crystal shrimps were entangled with the little octopus, and unknowingly reached the other end of the canyon.

Zhang Zexi stood again in this piece of sea that made it difficult for him to tell the direction, hesitating whether it was time to take the little octopuses back.

It's a pity that his hesitation was not as fast as the little octopus's action speed. Before he could decide whether to take out the barnacles, the little octopus had already rushed out of the canyon.

As a father, he was also very helpless, so he could only chase after him.

The normal speed of the little octopus and Zhang Zexi was not as fast as that of the crystal shrimp swarm. Seeing the crystal prawn swarm go further and further away.Zhang Zexi didn't bother at all, and directly got on the sponge car pulled by Xiao Hei.

The little octopuses followed suit. Seeing that Zhang Zexi was able to chase the crystal shrimp without any action on their own, they got on the sponge car without a teacher. There was not enough space on the sponge car, so they lay on Zhang Zexi's body.

This is the first time that the little octopus gets into the car without a baby bag. If the little octopus can be so self-conscious every time, Zhang Zexi must be able to save a lot of trouble.

Zhang Zexi was worried that he would get lost like last time, so he finally decided to spray his own ink on the road.

His ink has a fishy smell. Once it is contaminated, the smell will not dissipate in a short time. As long as you walk in the direction of the smell on the return journey, the situation of getting lost last time should not happen again.

This sea area is still so strange, and the large team has not been walking for a long time, and it is already difficult to distinguish the direction.So every time he walked a certain distance, Zhang Zexi would spray a small amount of ink on the nearby seabed.

The crystal shrimp in front was still reflecting light, so it would not be lost if it chased the shimmering light.

All this is due to the little octopus. Without the light of the little octopus, the crystal shrimp would have already disappeared in the dark and hard to find.

Xiao Hei pulled the octopus group and ran after the crystal shrimp for a long distance. Zhang Zexi could clearly feel that the temperature of the nearby water was changing. The closer he was to the crystal shrimp group, the higher the surrounding water temperature was. The temperature was still within the acceptable range of Zhang Zexi's body, and did not cause any discomfort.

He observed the little octopuses and found that they also did not suffer from the temperature change, so Zhang Zexi was relieved.

"Puff—"

"Puff—"

"Puff—"

Like the muffled sound of lit fireworks spraying into the sky, it sounded one after another.

Hearing the sound getting closer, Xiao Hei hesitated, and finally stopped moving forward.The group of crystal shrimps naturally became farther and farther away.

"What's this sound? It sounds scary." Xiao Hei was unavoidably timid.

Zhang Zexi didn't care at first. Could it be that they couldn't get through places where even crystal shrimp could pass through?However, since Zhang Zexi regards Xiao Hei as his own, he will not go his own way anymore. He humbly listened to Xiao Hei's opinion and asked him to stop for the time being until he figured out what happened.

The crystal shrimp will not wait for them to chase them in place, and will swim away in a short while.

Zhang Zexi watched the group of crystal shrimps swim away from the spot, the surrounding light was too dark, he couldn't capture the reality of the surrounding environment, but he could see the crystal shrimps running away reflecting the light, leaving only some light spots flickering.

"Pfft——" The strange voice continued to ring out again, but a strange phenomenon appeared in the group of swimming crystal shrimps.

A part of the crystal shrimps still swam away according to the original travel route, but a small part was like scattered stars after being hit, first rushed up for a certain distance, and then fell vertically down.

Why Zhang Zexi was sure that the crystal shrimp fell to the ground instead of leaving with the crystal shrimp group.The main reason is that the light reflected from the crystal shrimp is obvious, and he can still see the scattered crystal shrimp left on the ground.

The crystal shrimp that fell to the ground almost lost their mobility, only the shrimp shells on their bodies were still reflecting light dutifully.

Seeing that the swarm of crystal shrimps was about to disappear, the little octopus couldn't bear the escape of its prey, and suddenly started to move, as if it was about to catch up and do a big job.

A small octopus jumped off the head of the big octopus, intending to chase after the crystal shrimp, but Zhang Zexi quickly grabbed it.

The little octopus was caught suddenly, still a little puzzled, twisting its body on Zhang Zexi's tentacles, the short tentacles kept struggling, and the little ears unconsciously stirred up, but it was a pity that its strength was too weak to be able to move at all. Breaking free from Zhang Zexi's clutches, he could only give up struggling in the end.

"Xiao Hei, back up!" Zhang Zexi immediately issued an order.

Xiao Hei also noticed that the heat in the seawater at this moment was a little abnormal, and it had reached the level that made him feel uncomfortable. Without hesitation, it turned around and pulled the sponge car back quickly for a while.

Xiao Hei stopped when the temperature of the sea water was no longer so hot.

At this moment, not long after they left, less than one meter away from where they originally stayed, a miraculous scene was happening.

A small clockwise vortex suddenly appeared in the soft sand. Under the light of the little octopus, although the surrounding environment could not be seen clearly, the outline of things could be seen. Zhang Zexi was concentrating on thinking about what time it was. , "噗呵——" with a sound, a stream of water suddenly rushed into the small sand nest.

It made Zhang Zexi a little unbelievable that such a small sand nest could burst out a large water column with a diameter of one meter.

The little octopuses were also keenly aware of the danger in the water column, and did not rashly chase the crystal shrimp through.

Zhang Zexi knew the source of these "popping" sounds, every time water sprayed out from the sand nest, it would make such a sound.

At the same time, he also observed the law of the crystal shrimp landing. When the crystal shrimp landed, it was usually during the time period when the water column rushed up. Based on this, he speculated that these water columns may have certain dangers, which led to the death of the crystal shrimp.

If it was just a pure water column, the impact force should not be so powerful.

Zhang Zexi tried to get close to one of the sand nests, and waited for the water to spurt out of it to see what kind of tricks were hidden inside.

Through the shimmering light from the little octopus, you can see the scene within ten meters around. There are at least five sand nests that can be seen alone. Needless to say, there must be more sand nests in the distance.

Zhang Zexi couldn't grasp the law of water spraying in the sand nest, but he could roughly estimate that the water column stays for about 1 minute, but when the water column will appear, further observation is needed.

The sand nest beside him trembled, and the brewing time was about three seconds, and water jets shot out from it.

After approaching the water column, he can feel more intuitively that the temperature around the water column is hotter. Zhang Zexi tentatively threw a barnacle into the water column. The barnacle was washed up by the water column and disappeared from his sight.

After 1 minute, the water column stopped completely, and only the current of some impact in the sea can prove that it has come.

The barnacles that had been thrown into the water column fell to the ground as the water column receded. Zhang Zexi quickly stretched out her claws to grab them. The moment she touched the barnacles, she immediately retracted her tentacles.

hot!

Too hot!

Zhang Zexi couldn't help shaking the scalded octopus tentacles, the barnacles were as hot as if they had just been fished out of a hot pan.

He took out a swordfish bone from the sponge car. It was the fish bone left after the swordfish was eaten by the sea beast boss last time. The swordfish bone was very tough and sharp. He was reluctant to throw it away and collected all of them. It seems that it was originally intended to be used as a weapon, but now it happens to be used for other purposes.

Zhang Zexi held one end of the fishbone, and stretched the other end towards the barnacle beside the sand nest, and fished it over. The barnacle cooled down rapidly under the cooling of the normal temperature sea water, and when he touched the barnacle again, the temperature was no longer the same as it was at the beginning. So hot to touch.

After prying open the barnacles, I found that the meat inside, which should have been crystal clear, had turned a little white. Judging from the texture of the meat, it should be cooked.

Zhang Zexi ate the barnacles, feeling a little complicated. After many days, he actually ate cooked food again.

If someone told him that seafood can be boiled in the sea before, Zhang Zexi would be the first to spray him to death with his saliva.

But now the facts have proved to him that cooked food can really be cooked in the sea!

How on earth do these water jets cook the barnacles without spreading the heat outward?

This situation of maintaining high temperature only within a certain range is very special. The heat rising in the water column can cook the food without spreading in the sea water.

Zhang Zexi speculates that this is most likely related to the characteristics of the balanced sea area. The balanced sea area seems to be able to adjust the environment so that all marine life can adapt.

The living environments required by many marine organisms are very different, but they can live together in a balanced sea area. This is a very outrageous thing in itself. In contrast, a hot water column that only spreads within a certain range is not so strange.
