Chapter 356: Growing Pains

It didn't take much time for it to be sure that it could really move around on land and that it wouldn't be restricted.

- One of the main reasons why octopuses, as well as larger squids, are not able to live on land because there is no buoyancy generated by the sea to share the weight of their bodies, so they are sure to be crushed by the weight of their bodies.

In order to adapt to the environment, these mammals have developed skeletons to support their bodies, and have replaced them with mollusks that live on the ground, only gastropods such as snails, gills that are suitable for moving in fresh water, and cephalopods with tentacles, most of which stay in the water.

With its current physical structure, it should not be able to adapt to the gravity of the land, but surprisingly, it can move flexibly on the ground.

(It seems that my body has changed again in order to adapt to this terrestrial environment...... )

It is keenly aware of the changes within its body, growing cartilage-like tissues from its body to support its body, and its multi-wristed tentacles have become stronger, with scales growing on it, which can move like snakes by scaling and muscle scaling.

This allows it to move quickly on the ground without any inconvenience.

It's really a convenient body, how can it feel messed up?

Then again, what am I, and in my memory, normal beings can't have these abilities of their own.

(That is, I'm actually a ...... Martian?! That's right, that's the only one that explains why I'm superpowered...... However, aren't Martians all green-skinned, psychic clairvoyant, with multiple superpowers, acting as superheroes on Earth, and their favorite food being Oreo cookies? Neither is it right...... Speaking of which, this setting feels like a strong sense of sight! )

Recall carefully, I am not a Martian, but I should not be the original inhabitants of this planet.

"Then again, what kind of place is this?"

It climbed to the head of the bed and found a large map of the world, with an enlarged version of the United Kingdom attached to it.

"Greater America and Northern Ireland, just kidding...... Somewhere in Great Britain should be? ”

There were a lot of English books in the bookcase in the room, and it jumped up to investigate it, and found many works by famous British writers, combined with the enlarged version highlighted on the map, indicating the administrative planning of the British counties and districts.

It deftly jumped off the bookcase and climbed to the other window, where the sun was shining outside, and it was a good day to hunt.

Plop!

A seabird landed curiously on the eaves by the window, probably thinking that it was a fresh and delicious mobile buffet.

Most of the octopus creatures, such as the one they have now, who climb onto land or are washed up on the shore when the tide is watching, will not long before they fall to the ground and become a delicacy for the seabirds, who stand very close and move their feet a little closer.

(…… But it's clear that you're wrong, and you're the one for today's main meal. )

Several predatory tentacles bounced outward, grabbing the seabird with lightning speed, and the tip of the tentacle with a suction cup released venom, quickly poisoning it, and then stuffed it into its mouth as a free snack for the day.

It moves from the window to the first floor, and the nanocrystalline cells on the surface of the body sense the changes in light and begin to mimic the color of the wall.

That way, even if people notice it, they won't see the horrific sight of an octopus moving around the wall.

"On the first floor, it seems that there are also people living there, it should be the mother of the little ghost."

It hears the sound of a TV downstairs, through the perception of tentacles, and the memories stolen from Drake's brain, and it knows that this is Drake's mother.

She seems to have been sick and in poor health, often lying in bed.

Just then, a brake sound came from not far away, and a Beetle appeared outside the lawn of the house, and a man wearing a peaked cap and a rude demeanor walked into the house.

When he entered the house, he rummaged through the cabinets and began to argue with the woman in the hospital bed.

The reason for the quarrel should have something to do with money, according to Drake's memory, the man was his stepfather, and it was not a good thing, he liked to drink and gamble.

The couple often quarreled, had a very poor relationship, and didn't know how they got married in the first place.

But whoever puts Drake as a stepfather can't afford it, in other words, he's such a bad man.

The man came out of the house scolding, he didn't get the money, and his temper became worse.

As he drove the sports car, it slowly slid off while it was stuck on the wall.

At this moment, a large dog with variegated hair rushed over and barked at it as it fell to the ground.

(This Wang Xingren Xiansen, you seem to have a deep prejudice against our tentacle cephalopods!) )

The large miscellaneous dog seems to be a two-ha, and it barks more happily.

"Shut up, Lauber, don't scream anymore."

The owner of the next-door neighbor's dog, a middle-aged woman, was still cooking lunch at home when she heard the movement outside and reprimanded her loudly.

This Erha was a little panicked, the majesty of the hostess was unshaken, it whined a few times, did not continue to scream, but instead grinned its teeth and made a low voice, as if it was intimidating its own side.

It probably smelled the smell, so it chased it out, and found that the little monster that had invaded its ground territory would not let it go easily.

In the face of Erha's intimidation, it was unmoved, just stretched out one of its thickest tentacles, and then opened its huge mouth like a cracked chrysanthemum petal from the front end like a schizospore body, making a low sizzling sound, and a large amount of corrosive venom dripped from its mouth.

This frightened Erha, he whimpered, and fled from the lawn with his tail between his legs.

What a stupid dog!

That's the only evaluation it has right now.

————————

As the sun gradually sank in the west, the sea of contemplation was silent and blood-red, and Chihui was only a trace of embers.

Drake rode his bike all the way, and behind him, Fat Duck and his allies were chasing after him.

They moved towards the ruins of the historic mansion of Navin Westin by the sea.

"Fool Drake, stop me, I'm going to break your legs, you dare to complain to the teacher."

Fat Duck was furious, and Drake took the opportunity to slide into the ruins of the old mansion, but before he could ride out, a burst of stones came like raindrops.

He was unlucky enough to be hit with a rock, and the pain caused him to fall out of the car and slip into muddy water.
