Chapter 2: Encounter with the Giant Octopus (1)
Completely different from the wind, waves and dense fog on the sea, the deep sea still maintains its unique inky blue, depth and calm, and countless colorful lives are nurtured and multiplied in the deep sea. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Thousands of polyps make up a magnificent colony of corals, and they thrive all over the seabed. The huge coral reef is a dazzling array of colors, stunning red, green, brilliant yellow, seductive purple, deep blue, and brilliant silver......
The corals are layered on top of each other, forming a variety of patterns. Some of the corals resemble flowers swaying in the wind, while others resemble silver trees standing in the depths of the sea.
On a coral, there is also a golden sea lily, which swaying with thorny branches, sometimes budding, sometimes blooming brilliantly.
Schools of fish sometimes resemble flowing scrolls, their scales glistening with silver gleas, thousands of juveniles thrive, and coral reefs provide careful care for the little ones, serving as both a source of food and a refuge for them.
The mermaid princess at the bottom of the sea is completely integrated into this marine world, her long pale yellow hair fluttering in the water, and the pale blue gauze on her body is like seaweed, dancing like life. She slowly stretched out her long, white and slender hand, and brushed a few colorful small fish as if her fingertips were nothing.
The corners of my lips twitched slightly, and my eyes glistened with joy, 'Whether it's out of my mermaid instincts or my heart, the ocean has always been a place I love and yearn for. ’
I spit out a string of small bubbles in the sea, and the bubbles suddenly rose vertically in the sea, and I looked up, and my obsidian eyes looked at the water curtain above my head, and the small bubbles immediately had nowhere to follow. The ocean, both vertically and horizontally, can give people a sense of vastness and depth.
When I was a child, my mother gave a rare black pearl to Luze's brother, and I was still haunted by it at that time. Now that I'm in this strange sea, I might find some rare treasures! Thinking of this, my spirit was suddenly shocked, and my eyes seemed to bloom like a peach blossom, throbbing with joy.
I swam along the colorful corals when suddenly, a soft tentacle stretched out unusually quickly, and I was startled, and the tail of the fish swiped backwards, instantly retreating from a distance of more than a dozen paces.
I narrowed my dark eyes slightly, and looked warily, but it was far away, and it was difficult for me to determine the size of the octopus hiding in the cracks of the reef.
I paddled the fishtail shallowly and moved closer, but still kept a safe distance.
I finally saw the octopus antennae attached to the sea squirt, and the tentacles were pink and tender, soft and small, and in a moment the tentacles retracted.
I grinned, gurgled in the water, and let go of myself. However, just as I was about to swim above it, another wrist arm as thick as a large ship's mast suddenly stretched out, and hundreds of white saucer suction cups were densely covered on it, smooth and soft as gel.
My eyes widened in horror in the sea, and my heart beat like a drum. I was a little incredulous, why this sea beast was so strange, one tentacle as weak as a sea serpent, and the other as thick as a giant mast?
Curiosity killed cats, but now, I am so obsessed with curiosity that I forgot to take advantage of this opportunity to escape, and instead stopped at the edge of a lush coral to watch the spectacle.
After a while, a few thick and wriggling tentacles several meters long slowly stretched out like a big python, and suddenly, a large round and huge soft and hideous head jumped out of the crack in the reef at the bottom of the sea, which looked very terrifying, its eyes with an abrupt red, Sen Han stared at me like a ghost. Just looking at it, I felt the urge to bow my head and gag.
I suddenly remembered what the Spirit Prophet had said, "The Giant Octopus is the soul of the sea world, it is huge, powerful, intelligent, and attacking. The reason why it has become the hegemon of a sea is its exquisite camouflage, its ability to overcome rigidity with softness, its ability to spray poisonous ink, and its poisonous teeth......"
I couldn't help but cry out in my heart, "Oh my God! Why did I encounter such a terrifying beast when I first dived into the depths of the sea? ”
I saw that the octopus beast's abrupt dark eyes were staring at me deeply, and several wrists and arms were like agile and flexible pythons, absorbing the sea squirt coral under the tentacles, all the way to my right side. Under the wrists and feet as thick as masts, countless suction cups loomed, and I was shocked to break out in a cold sweat!
I roughly counted the wrists and arms under it, "one, two, three, four...... God, no more, no less, exactly eight. So, what about the tentacles as thick as a small sea snake just now? I frowned, a look of confusion in my eyes.
For a moment, as if I had been enlightened, I thought, 'Oh my God, it must be its kind, its prey, its food!' The little octopus beast that was not yet an adult just now had already been eaten by the behemoth in front of him, and there was not even any scum left. I shuddered involuntarily, and my face instantly turned cold as ice.
Suddenly, I felt an undercurrent surging beneath me, and I hurriedly looked up to see that the giant octopus beast was still a dozen steps away from me, and I sighed and hurriedly grabbed the coral wall with my hand to prevent myself from being swept away by the current.
It was just a moment when I looked up again, 'Oh my God! Where's that big guy? My heart was beating like a drum, beating violently.
I couldn't believe my eyes, I blinked vigorously, and the huge, soft monster disappeared in an instant!
My body froze completely in place, and it was as if I had fallen into an abyss of despair.
I took a deep breath and looked around with my eyes racing, the golden fish scurrying around me, the crystal clear bottom of the sea, the corals were all the same, except for the behemoth.
I don't dare to act rashly, panicking will only make it easier for me to fall into the trap of the enemy.
I slowly closed my eyes, there is its unique sound of silence in the deep sea, listening, is what mermaids are best at.
The bubbles 'gurgle' in the sea, all kinds of subtle sounds, ringing more clearly in my ears, their breathing, their movement...... Suddenly, my eyes opened and I was looking straight to the left front, a few steps away from me!
To my amazement, the huge octopus changed color and turned into a stone covered in turquoise algae, and my eyes shrank in disbelief in how realistic it was.
'Oh my God, it moved from my right front to my left front before I knew it! Is he really an octopus and not a human? How could there be such a clever octopusmon! ’
Obviously, the giant octopus beast is still in a state of hunger, and for it, the octopus just now is too small, where can it fill its belly? And this beautiful and edible mermaid in front of him, I'm afraid it really wants to taste it. Therefore, its recent disappearance into thin air is just an illusion, and once it locks on its prey, it will not give up easily.
This prehistoric creature, with its amazing intelligence, is waiting for me to take the bait by means of ambush.
I snorted, and immediately saw through its intentions, it is true that ambushes are easier and more enjoyable than head-on combat, but you are underestimating your enemies!
I secretly grasped a porcelain vase in my hand and threw it abruptly in the direction where it was. As I expected, the arm was like lightning, entangled the porcelain vase. I only heard a crisp sound of 'pop', the porcelain vase shattered, and a small flame suddenly burned on the octopus's wrist arm.
Man'er's eyes suddenly flashed with a touch of pride, the corners of her mouth smiled slightly, and her face was stunning and beautiful. This porcelain vase contains a ghost fire, which burns when exposed to water, which is a precious gift given to her by her father in the early years to defend herself underwater.
'Burn it, I'll try it when it's cooked.' She had a playful look on her face, her eyes seemed to bloom a bewitching peach blossom, and her pale blue gauze ethereated in the sea, like a fairy.
It's just that before half a pillar of incense was in time, Man'er's smile suddenly froze on his face. I saw that the octopus beast fluttered in pain a few times, and poked its burning wrist arm into the broken sand at the bottom of the sea, so fast that the flames were completely extinguished.
Obviously, the ghost fire didn't do much damage to the octopus, but how could this undersea giant tolerate such a dark loss? It had no intention of doing any more tricks, and was completely enraged by my uninvited guest. It turned its entire body reddish-brown, and a pair of bulging eyes stared strangely at me.
This octopus beast was already in a state of extreme excitement, and its eight wriggling tentacles several meters long, like eight thick pythons, swam towards me at such an astonishing speed that I could hardly dodge. I didn't even dare to blink my eyes, and kept staring at those eight tentacles with amazing attack power, for fear that its extremely high IQ would give me a sneak attack.
I knew that if I was so violently hugged by it, I would definitely become its meal today.
Suddenly, countless white suction cups flickered in front of my eyes, and a strong tentacle of the octopus beast grabbed my slender arm.
