358. Octopuses have nine brains
Well, it's the Octopus Empire!
Octopuses have a very unique characteristic, that is, their brain structure is very complex, especially those of the sea tribe that have derived the intelligent octopus family.
In addition to having a brain in their heads, they have eight legs, and a not very sound brain.
In other words, if you are full, the octopus has a total of nine brains.
To a certain extent, in terms of brain intelligence development, octopuses even have more advantages than mermaids, that is, they can't go up mentally, and the other eight unsound brains sometimes hate to be uncoordinated, and they will make their own decisions.
For example, while walking, four of the eight legs have to go to the left and the other four to the right, so a tug-of-war is staged at the fork in the road.
Or maybe the brain wants to eat kelp, but the eight legs think, no, you don't want to, you want to eat seaweed or something, roll up the brain and stuff it into the mouth, even the eight legs don't accept anyone, and then start to fight the weird picture.
Wheel intelligence, an octopus with nine brains, is not much worse than the mermaid race.
In terms of physique, combat effectiveness, and fear of death, the octopus clan is not much worse than killer whales.
In terms of comprehensive advantages and strength, the octopus clan is now ranked first in the sea, and it has the potential to replace the mermaid clan and the killer whale clan and dominate the entire sea area.
However, it also responded to that sentence, and success and failure were also stormy.
The advantage of the octopus clan is that they have a lot of brains, and it is not necessarily a good thing to have too many brains, and they can have a small meeting by themselves, let alone when they are fighting, those eight unsound brains are a scourge.
There were several important battles, and it was because of those eight unsound brains and sudden convulsions that the tide of the battle changed, and finally the octopus had to retreat.
Otherwise, it is really possible that the octopus clan and the octopus empire will complete the unification.
Qin Haiyan is a mermaid princess of the mermaid clan, twenty years ago, she was originally going to the octopus empire to make peace.
That's right, it's a kiss!
Since three hundred years ago, the Sea Clan has formed three empires with a three-legged tripod, and the Mermaid Empire led by the Mermaid Clan has been shrinking its sphere of influence under the pressure of the Orca Empire step by step, and the sphere of influence has been shrinking.
In the past hundred years, the power and strength of the Mermaid Empire have shrunk a lot.
So I had to win over the Octopus Empire to become an ally, this mermaid clan is really like a human, and I actually learned to be friendly.
Trusted Qin Haiyan's mother doesn't want to marry the eight-legged Octopus Brother, after all, she herself has no binding hobbies or tentacle complexes.
So on the way, she fled, and then she met the Grand Duke who went to sea to trade with the Sea Clan, and the relationship between the two was concluded at that time.
Two years later, there was a daughter, Qin Haiyan, when Qin Haiyan was born, she was not a human image, but a mermaid. She has no legs and a fishtail on the lower half of her body.
Just when the Grand Duke was overjoyed that he had become a husband, the mermaid clan also found Qin Haiyan's mother.
In order to protect Qin Haiyan, her mother and the Grand Duke sealed the blood of the mermaid clan in her body, so that Qin Haiyan's fish tail transformed into legs and lived in human form.
It's a seal, or a curse.
When Qin Haiyan breaks through the seal, the Grand Duke and her mother will be counterattacked, and the Grand Duke's magic power will be cleared, and his body will become very weak.
Not to mention re-cultivating, how long can I live now, this is also a question.
"I'm sorry, father, I hurt you!"
After understanding the ins and outs of everything and the reason for the beginning, Qin Haiyan's eyes were filled with tears, and he couldn't help crying bitterly.
Qin Haiyan never thought that the awakening of his bloodline would actually cause such consequences.
"Don't say that, your bloodline is sealed by us, and it's us who say we're sorry, and we didn't do our duty as parents."
"Mother was taken away by the merfolk people, so what's going on now?"
The Grand Duke shook his head slowly and said: "I don't know very well, in the past ten years, I have established a fairly good trade relationship with the Mermaid Empire, and I have been inquiring about the news, but the Sea Clan who traded with me is very tight, or they really don't know anything." ”
This kind of thing is a scandal after all, and the so-called family scandal cannot be publicized, and the mermaid clan will naturally block this news.
What's more, the Grand Duke is still a human race, so naturally he can't find out the slightest information, and the Grand Duke is very helpless, but he is helpless.
Especially now, he has become a waste, and during this period of time, the Grand Duke has been a little resigned to his fate.
"Father, can you help us prepare a ship?"
"You want to go to sea?"
"It's not me, it's us, the cat master and they came back with me, in fact, there is another purpose, that is, to go to sea."
Originally, Qin Haiyan was not interested in going to sea, and he didn't have much motivation.
But now for Qin Haiyan, this trip to the sea must go out, because she wants to find her mother.
"What are you going to do at sea?"
"Master Cat has a mission to find something on the mainland, and we think that there should be a place on the Forbidden Island, so we want to go and see it, and I have a purpose now."
"It's not easy to go to that place on the Forbidden Island."
"I know, there's a kraken living there."
"The Kraken is just one aspect, the sea near the forbidden island is very uncalm, the flow of water and air currents is very treacherous, one moment it is calm, the next second it may set off a thousand layers of huge waves, many ships can't get close, let alone withstand the lapping of the waves."
"But I have to go, I want to save my mother."
"Kid, I don't want you to be rash, you have to be calm, you can't compete with an empire alone, not even a mermaid. Even if the cat is willing to support you, it won't help. ”
The Sea Clan doesn't eat the Holy See's set, they only believe in the god of the sea, and the god of light is a bird to them.
The sky can be your birdmen, and the land can be your birdmen, but if you want to touch the sea, then chop off your hands.
The Sea Clan really has this confidence, after all, in terms of comprehensive strength, all the races in the entire continent combined, are not the opponents of the Sea Clan.
"I know, but there are some things I still have to try. Father, don't worry, with the cat master by our side, we can completely protect ourselves, even if we can't find our mother, we can come back completely. ”
"......" The Grand Duke opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then sighed and said, "Since you have made up your mind, then I will not stop you, I will order you to go down and prepare the best ship for you." ”
