When Ao Tang came to the sea, the first targets for recruiting the aquarium were turtles and cetaceans, because these two types of creatures have enough basic intelligence, but in terms of intelligence alone, octopuses are not bad at all.

The octopus has 3 hearts, 9 heads, and 8 brachiopods, each of which has 240 suckers. In nature, there are very few animals that can use tools, and the octopus is one of them, and the octopus has also reached a fairly high level of intelligence, it has two memory systems, and it also has the ability to learn and imitate.

Scientists have done various experiments on octopuses, putting a small crab into a maze, and the octopus can quickly find its way through the maze and eat the crab. Put the shrimp in a bottle and plug it with a wooden stopper, and the octopus can quickly pull the stopper and eat the shrimp. It can also distinguish itself in the mirror, mimic the movement patterns of other animals, and even learn to walk on two "legs".

There is still a debate in the scientific community about the intelligence of the octopus, and there are relatively many opinions that it is equivalent to a two-year-old baby of a human, but this is not to say that the octopus has low intelligence, but it is a high evaluation, because the lifespan of the octopus is only two or three years old, and it is very rare to live to 5 years old.

Just imagine, if human beings only have a lifespan of two or three years, and can only grow to two or three years old, isn't it only infant intelligence? And conversely, what if octopuses could live like humans for decades? Many studies have shown that octopuses are constantly evolving and becoming more and more intelligent, but fortunately, this rate of evolution is relative to the long evolution of species, just as the evolution from apes to humans took millions of years to complete.

So from a human point of view, there is no need to worry about the threat of the octopus race to the human race. But in various science fiction movies, octopuses are often interpreted, and even many evil aliens are octopuses.

For Ao Tang to recruit aquarists, even if the intelligence of the octopus is aside, the octopus still has enough ability. For example, the octopus has dexterous wrists and feet, and the suction cup is full of suction power, which can drag heavy objects that exceed 20 times its own weight; For example, octopuses have highly developed eyes; For example, some octopuses can mimic camouflage, some octopuses can emit light, some octopuses are highly poisonous, and they also have a certain ability to regenerate.

The octopus has so many advantages, but Ao Tang did not consider it as the first choice for recruiting aquariums, the reason is very simple, because Ao Tang feels that the octopus is too ugly, in fact, it doesn't matter if it is ugly, the key is disgusting. It's like when he didn't consider spider crabs when he chose crabs, he just thought spiders were disgusting.

However, seeing the appearance of the giant octopus wielding a sword, spear and halberd in front of him, Ao Tang was a little interested, as the largest species of octopus, the largest record of the Pacific giant octopus is 9 meters 1 in circumference and weighs 272 kilograms, but the so-called record has never been a one-sided record of humans, which does not mean that there is no bigger one in nature. The one in front of me is big enough, with a circumference of about 12 meters, and its weight is not visible, but looking at its thick wrists and feet, it is obviously heavy.

The octopus is standing on two legs, and the other six brachiopods are two long knives, a short knife, a sword, a halberd, and a gun, which have been broken, and the octopus is loosening its brachiopods and suckers, ready to look for a replacement weapon in a weapon rack behind it.

Ao Tang couldn't help but laugh, the captain of this treasure ship was probably a general, and there were eighteen kinds of weapons on the weapon rack, but unfortunately the octopus was cheap now. Perhaps this octopus once inadvertently used a weapon, thought it was easy to use, and then often played with it, and now it seems to be quite proficient.

Such a wise octopus, Ao Tang suppressed his nausea and loved talent, but after thinking about it, he scolded again, and now this octopus looks like Nezha using multiple weapons with three heads and six arms at the same time? Like who is not good, but like that dead child!

Ao Tang was still thinking about it, but the shark armor was already angry, how could it be reasonable, just an octopus dared to attack the Dragon King? As an aquarium under the command of the dragon king, of course the shark armor will not sit idly by, although he knows that the dragon king is powerful, and the octopus can't hurt the dragon king at all, but with his subordinates, of course, he shouldn't let the dragon king do it himself, otherwise does the subordinate still have the meaning of existence? The shark armor immediately pounced on the giant octopus, and the two behemoths fought.

The giant octopus is also a fierce beast in the sea, and can even prey on small and medium-sized sharks, if it is an ordinary whale shark, even if it is huge, but the surname is peaceful, and the combat effectiveness is low, maybe it will suffer, but now, after all, one is a spirit surnamed Aqua with no less intelligence than adults, and the other is just a baby intelligence, even if the octopus wields weapons, but these weapons have long been rusted by the seawater, losing their original sharpness, and slashing at the shark armor is like tickling, to paraphrase a game term, it is "unbreakable".

How does the shark armor attack? He had no sharp teeth, but he had enough tonnage to ram into it with speed and mass, and instantly smashed the wreck into pieces. The octopus was crushed by the wreck fragments, and the shark armor opened its mouth, sucked the water fiercely, and sprayed hard, which the whale shark could not do before, but now the shark armor was easy to do, and the current pushed the wreck fragments away, only to see the octopus fall to the ground motionless, as if it was dead.

"Hmph, play dead!" The baby's intelligence is only suitable for deceiving animals, how could the shark armor be fooled, and immediately pounced, seeing that it was about to devour the octopus, the octopus immediately crawled up and ran away, but it was only a matter of time before it was swallowed by the shark armor.

"Alright, that's it." Ao Tang interrupted the battle, and the shark armor immediately retreated, and waited respectfully, guessing with its wisdom that the dragon king might also ignite this octopus.

And the octopus, after all, has basic intelligence, knows that the enemy in front of it is far superior to it, and obediently does not dare to move, waiting for the verdict of fate.

"Well, it's not pretty, but ...... Even a giant octopus can only live for four or five years, and if you think your lifespan is almost up, since you hit it, I'll spare your life. Ao Tang stretched out his hand and pointed at it, and a spirit flame had fallen on the octopus's head, which immediately changed the fate of the octopus, "You are Zhang Jia." ”

Zhang Jia was overjoyed, dancing with eight feet, and constantly thanking him. It is precisely because it has enough basic intelligence that its intelligence is relatively higher after ignition, and it can better understand how great the spiritual enlightenment is for an animal!

However, compared to the shark series, Ao Tang has no idea of recruiting nine more octopuses for the time being, and now go to see the wreck first, Zhang Jia figured out his intentions and took the initiative to clean up the wreckage with his wrists and feet.

The rules between heaven and earth have long changed, and the gods and monsters have to leave, with the current state of the world, even the water tribe that is ignited by him cannot change its human form, at most it is a low-level monster. Even if it has intelligence no less than that of humans, but limited by the shape of the body, many things cannot be done, and the octopus with eight flexible wrists and feet, after obtaining the spirit surname, is actually more dexterous than humans, can use tools like humans, and is even more suitable for using tools than humans! Therefore, compared with other aquariums, Zhangjia has a wider range of application capabilities.

The wreckage of the treasure ship was quickly cleaned up, Ao Tang glanced over, there were really some things in this ship, but unfortunately most of them were already rotten and useless grain and grass, and there were a large number of wine jars, and even the bones of livestock, this ship was not a supply ship in Zheng He's Western fleet back then? But the direction is very different, or is it the legendary period when Zheng He went to the East?

Ao Tang was not interested in archaeology, no matter what, he still found a lot of gold and silver in this supply ship, but he didn't have time to count it at the moment, and instructed Zhang Jia: "I will return today, you will wait in the waters here, and when the shark armor comes with a box tomorrow night, you will pack the gold and silver artifacts and transport them to a deep enough sea area to pile up." Well, I'll be tomorrow night, no, it's already tonight, and I'll probably be here in person. ”

On the shark armor's side, he didn't let it go to Palau to find the shark immediately, so let it wait in the sea outside Shencheng, wait for Ao Tang to purchase a batch of safes tomorrow, or some other big iron box, and then install a thick enough wire rope, and wait for the treasure to be disposed of, and then find other sharks It's not too late.

Immediately went west with the shark armor, and successfully found the place to go to the sea, Ao Tang told the shark armor a few words, then dressed and went out of the water, returned to the car and looked at the watch, it was already half past four. Yu Zhiwei started practicing at half past nine in the morning, and she could sleep for two or three hours after she went back. I picked up my phone again, and there were several text messages from Mi Lu and Yu Zhiwei on it.

Yu Zhiwei said goodnight, and after a few minutes, she asked one after another: "Did you drive out to press the road?" "What are you doing?" "Did you sleep?"

Ao Tang couldn't help but be a little apologetic, no way, he can't bring a mobile phone when he goes into the water, there is no real waterproof mobile phone! What's more, once you go to the open sea, it is estimated that there is no mobile phone signal.

Mi Lu asked, "Is Shencheng fun?" "What are you doing?" "It's in the water, isn't it? Oh my God, are you going to go to the sea? "Come back to me tomorrow morning."

Ao Tang couldn't help but smile, Mi Lu knew him better after all, closed his phone, and waited until he went back to the hotel to sleep for two hours.

At seven o'clock, Mi Lu received a text message and said to Chen Yuanyuan proudly: "Yuanyuan, I guessed correctly, Ao Tang really went to swim in the sea." ”

Chen Yuanyuan said with a smile: "You are not the only one who guessed it, but you should persuade him, although he has a great surname, after all, it is the sea, and he will definitely not wear a life jacket." ”

"Ao Tang said that there is no problem, it should be no problem." Mi Lu was full of confidence, but soon deflated again, "Are we really going to keep an eye on it today?" If I am discovered, what will I do if Ao Tang murders me? ”

"Then let's buy a plane ticket back immediately?"

"Not really!"

"Isn't that enough, why do you still think about it so much? We can have gone earlier, we have already explored the terrain yesterday, and we are hiding on the second floor, and the probability of being found is not very high. ”
