After becoming an octopus

"Is there anything I can help with?" A mantis shrimp came out more and more, eagerly expressing its reliability.

Duman took the initiative to speak for Zhang Zexi: "We are here to find a mantis shrimp, right?" The last sentence was addressed to Zhang Zexi.

Zhang Zexi said: "We are looking for Lanwa, I am its friend, do you know where its home is?"

"Lanwa? I'm not very familiar with it." The mantis shrimp was a little embarrassed, and it spread to the group, "Does anyone know Lanwa? Do you know where its home is?"

"I know where its home is, and I'll show the way." A small mantis shrimp emerged from the group of mantis shrimps, and was almost squeezed back by the group of mantis shrimps.

"Can you come to my place and talk about it?" Zhang Zexi saw it working hard, and wanted to pull him out.

Seeing this, the other mantis shrimps made way for it one after another, and the little mantis shrimp crawled out from the group of mantis shrimps. When it reached them, it raised its head, "I know where its home is."

"You said you were willing to lead the way for us just now? If you have any conditions, you can put it first." Zhang Zexi thought in her heart that there is no free lunch in the world. These mantis shrimps are so enthusiastic, they probably need to be paid.

"No need!" Little Mantis Shrimp seemed a little excited, "It is my honor to be able to work for White Shark."

Of course, these words are all polite, the main reason is that there is a chance to know the white shark, and a white shark can win a lot of benefits for them, which is why so many mantis shrimps are willing to do things for Duman. .

"Then I'll trouble you to help lead the way." Zhang Zexi thought for a while, but she didn't know what she could give, at worst, I would treat guests to dinner later.

The mantis shrimp swarm dispersed under Duman's guidance.

The rest of the road was not far away, Zhang Zexi got out of the car and moved slowly with the mantis shrimp.

The mantis shrimp happily led the way, with the innocent air of a cub. It looked at Zhang Zexi's team with curiosity in its eyes. It kept turning around. It asked Zhang Zexi, the leader, "Is your relationship with Lanwa good?"

Zhang Zexi thought for a while, Lan Wa was one of his few friends at the bottom of the sea, "The relationship is pretty good, right? Are you and Lan Wa neighbors?"

But Mantis Shrimp denied it, "It's not my neighbor, we live far away."

"Then how do you know where it lives?" Zhang Zexi became curious. Is Lanwa so famous?

Little Mantis Shrimp said: "Because he is my father, he sometimes goes to Mom's house to deliver food."

Zhang Zexi was at a loss for words for a moment, he hadn't thought about it, is this Lanwa's son?Zhang Zexi thinks about it carefully and thinks that there is nothing wrong with it. It is not uncommon for Lanwa to have a daughter-in-law's son everywhere.

"No wonder you look so similar to Uncle Lanwa." Qiaoqiao exaggerated.

Zhang Zexi looked at the mantis shrimp, then recalled the appearance of the blue tile, it really looks alike...

It's not that the son looks like his father, don't the mantis shrimps of this race all look alike? !

But Mantis Shrimp denied it: "I am more like my mother, but I think I am more like Uncle Lao Wang next door."

Zhang Zexi: "..." It sounds weird.

Qiaoqiao was also a little entangled when he said this, probably because he thought that Mantis Shrimp only had a face.

Zhang Zexi asked, "What's your name?"

Little Mantis Shrimp said: "My name is Don, the name given to me by Uncle Lao Wang."

Zhang Zexi: "...Your Uncle Lao Wang is really good."

Don seems to think so too, mentioning King Lao next door more than Lanwa.

Don was quite lively, and came all the way to Lanwa's house.

Dorn rushed into the cave and shouted: "Dad! There is a big octopus looking for you."

There was no response in the cave, and Dawn got into the cave suspiciously. It was empty, and the blue tile was obviously not there.

It came out again and said, "Father doesn't seem to be at home, maybe he's out hunting. I'll go nearby and ask for you."

Donn didn't wait for Zhang Zexi to respond, he went to the next door, and came out after a while.

"My dad is out." This was the first sentence Don said when he came back.

"Will it come back today?" Zhang Zexi guessed that he didn't know the exact time, if he could come back within today, he would wait.

Don said: "It may not come back for a few days. I just asked the people living nearby, and they said that my father was conscripted to open stones."

"What is Kaishi?" Zhang Zexi didn't quite understand these new words.

"I don't understand either." Dawn was still a cub and didn't know much about these things.

Duman said: "It is estimated that our clansman opened the milkstone with signs."

"What is milkstone? How long will it take to come back?" Zhang Zexi had to complain about Lanwa's unreliability. Why did Lanwa lose the chain once they came?

This is like relatives coming from thousands of miles to seek refuge.When you arrive at the door, the neighbor tells you that the family has gone out to work!

Isn't this cheating friends?

"Don't you know? Stone milk comes out of the milk stone." Duman explained, "There are several milk stone mines in the territory of the white shark tribe. The predatory limbs of the mantis shrimp family are used to make holes in the milk stone. Appropriate, every once in a while a part of the Mantis Shrimp Clan will be recruited to open stones."

Zhang Zexi was a little familiar with the word stalactite, it seemed that stalactite was included in Paz's previous apology.

"Is stone milk very precious?" Zhang Zexi couldn't help but want to weigh the value of those gifts.

"For the sharks, it is indeed more precious. Stone milk is a necessity for the sharks. If we can't eat stone milk for a long time, our fish scales will start to fall off. If the scales fall off and we can't get supplemented by stone milk, we It will start to weaken." Duman said, and began to stroke the scales on the fish's tail.

Zhang Zexi inferred part of the situation from the information.

The mermaid tribe needs stone milk, so it is indeed a win-win situation for the mantis shrimp tribe, which can open milk stones, to become a subsidiary of their own tribe, and the mantis shrimp tribe can also benefit from it.

"When will Lanwa come back?" Zhang Zexi couldn't wait forever.

Duman said: "Generally, it will be conscripted for five days, and it will not come back for at least three days."

Don said: "It's not certain, my father seems to have offended the people of the White Shark Clan, and he probably won't come back for a while."

"Do you know why he offended the white sharks?" Zhang Zexi seemed to be concerned, but in his heart he was thinking that Lanwa was unreliable, so why did he come back?Turn around and offend the White Shark Clan again!

"Isn't it because he molested the white shark patriarch's daughter before? Didn't her partner finally wait for her to come back? This time, he will definitely go all out." Donne's small body contained great maturity.

When these words came out, Zhang Zexi was stunned. Is this something a cub can say?What happened to this child?

"Isn't this matter over yet? Didn't everything get written off last time?" Zhang Zexi saw Lan Wa rushing back, thinking that the turmoil of this matter was over like this, but he didn't expect that the other party chose to settle accounts after the fall.

Zhang Zexi didn't find Lanwa, so he didn't know what to do next.

The light of the anglerfish lamp gradually dimmed, Zhang Zexi said: "Let's stay here today, and we'll go find the blue tile mantis shrimp tomorrow."

Together with other small octopuses, Zhang Zexi removed the fluffy sponge pad under the big conch and placed their nests nearby.

There is a coral bush next to it. Zhang Zexi caught some fish and came back to prepare today's dinner.

After Dawn brought Zhang Zexi back, he was planning to go back, but he was attracted by their strange behavior.

Zhang Zexi lured the air bubbles out of the big conch, and then took out the red stone, ready to show her skills.

Don curiously followed behind Zhang Zexi, and was very puzzled by his strange behavior.

But Donne seemed very obedient at this time, and he didn't take the initiative to ask what he was doing.

The food was cooked.Zhang Zexi also invited Don to eat with him.

Don was really curious about this strange food, so he ate with them in the end, and ended up eating a strange food that he had never eaten before.

There are more energy-rich foods here, so Zhang Zexi fed Gu Luo a full meal to soothe the fatigue on the road.

Of course, Xiao Hei was the only one who was tired at most, and they didn't work hard along the way.

If there is something bad outside, it is probably because there are too many creatures, which Zhang Zexi is not used to.

Zhang Zexi took Guluo's bed to a more secret place, and they all went into Zhang Zexi's big conch to spend the night.

Duman was left outside to keep watch, lest their bed be lost.

Duman was very speechless.

However, although Zhang Zexi didn't pay much attention to personal space, when facing Duman, he still felt a little resistant because of the strangeness.

After Donne had a full meal, he wandered back home. Except for Duman, everyone couldn't sleep peacefully that night.

After spending the night without any surprises, Zhang Zexi got up and prepared breakfast.

After greeting the little octopuses for breakfast, Zhang Zexi fed Gu Luo to his full, and then went to eat by himself.

Gu Luo was contentedly lying back on the luxurious big bed after eating.

At this moment, strange music came from a distance, and Zhang Zexi, who was eating, couldn't help but look around, but gave up after seeing no name.

Gu Luo was lying quietly on the bed to dodge. After hearing the strange music, he lost his mind. After a while, the figure lying on the bed disappeared without a trace, and no creature was found during the whole process.

Zhang Zexi felt a little strange, but when she looked back, everything was as usual, probably because she was thinking too much.

After Xiao Hei was full, he lay down on the stone and rubbed his stomach, "Where shall we go later?"

Zhang Zexi finally made a decision, "Let's go find Lanwa after dinner, at least we can get to know each other, and let's see if there is any chance to rescue him."

The team has always been dominated by Zhang Zexi's wishes.

So after eating, they were all ready to go, and they were about to continue to set off.

Xiao Hei pulled Zhang Zexi into the car and was about to leave, but then felt that something was wrong, and turned to ask Zhang Zexi, "Did we forget to bring something?"

Zhang Zexi tried hard to think back, but he didn't think of what they were missing, so he comforted him: "You think too much, I've packed everything that needs to be packed."

Duman originally wanted to tell them that Gu Luo hadn't come back yet, but a boss like the sea beast should go wherever he wanted, presumably they should have discussed it first, otherwise why didn't they mention it.

Duman felt that it would be better for him to be sensible. Since everyone didn't want to mention where the sea beast went, it shouldn't show itself at this time.

Xiao Hei pulls the car and gradually walks away to the milkstone mine, preparing to rescue his friend Lan Wa who is in deep water and fire.

So, Lord Sea Beast was really forgotten by the team like this...
