Chapter 45: The ...... Surrounded by Broken Bone Squid
The gray and white tentacles are hideous bone blades, and the dark blue giant tail sweeps across the sea.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ah, the world is really peaceful, and everything is really beautiful~"
The silver-haired girl lay lazily, looking up at the white clouds under the blue sky~
Suddenly, a burst of water fell from the sky, falling right around Xinglan's body, immediately interrupting the theater in her mind.
"Huh? Is it raining? Blinking her black eyes, Xinglan looked at the sky blankly, but she seemed to think of something, and turned her head slightly......
"Sure enough, it's you troublemaker again!"
......Seeing that Xinglan had finally noticed herself, the little whale happily flicked its tail and sprinkled more water into the sky, so she ......
"It's all wet again!" Xinglan looked at the water droplets on her body weakly, and touched the head of the little whale next to her, "Fortunately, it's a diving suit...... Don't do this next time, are you the bear child of the whale? ”
"Rest?"
Ignoring the little whale in doubt, Xinglan gently patted the mother whale under her, and the white whiskers that had fixed her on the whale's back spread out to both sides.
"Thank you~"
Probably after getting along for a long time, there was a tacit understanding, and after traveling with the mother and son of the whale for a few days, the mother whale was also used to having such an outsider on her body. Especially after Xinglan hugged the little whale and then rolled in the water, it seemed that she rubbed a familiar smell, and the mother whale was even more kind to her.
Huh? Although the robot's body does not produce odors by itself, the smell of rubbing on it is not easy to dissipate, but the whale is not blind after all, why does the mother whale treat her like a small whale? Xinglan was a little unnaturally avoiding the white whiskers that the mother whale stretched out to caress affectionately, why did she feel shy!
As for the question of why Xinglan rolled in the water with the little whale...... You don't have to worry about it.
Xinglan stood up straight on the back of the mother whale and looked out into the distance.
Although it is called a whale, it is just a name alike to the cetaceans on Earth. They are not mammals that return to the ocean after landing, and naturally they do not have the iconic huge breathing holes on the top of the heads of the earth's cetaceans, but are standard marine animals that breathe purely in their gills.
The whale has a myriad of huge bar-shaped muscles on its back, powerful muscles that can turn the sea upside down at any time, and above the muscles are the white whiskers that can move flexibly to care for the calf.
Seeing that Xinglan ignored it, the little whale slapped the water in a huff, and also jumped on the back of the mother whale, whimpering and begging for comfort.
Forehead...... Seeing that Xiaoxi Whale was selling cuteness as always, Xinglan said that she was under a lot of pressure, why? Because when we first met, the little whale was only about one meter long, and it was even a little smaller than Xinglan, but in just a few days, this guy was actually more than two meters!
Even if you know that the growth rate of the sea monster in its infancy must be very fast, but don't you want to hit others like this...... A certain resentful Xinglan squatted down directly on the back of the mother whale and drew circles, and believe it or not, I really went to get a Gundam body dozens of meters tall?
"However, there doesn't seem to be anything inferior to it!" Xinglan looked up at the bright sun in the sky, and the observation hole in her pupils automatically contracted under the strong light, "Our body is the most powerful!" ”
"Rest?" Although it could not swim freely on the back of the mother whale, relying on pulling the white whiskers and intermittently floating, the little whale slowly moved to Xinglan's side and rubbed its head curiously......
"Hey, it's itchy!" Xinglan smiled and removed Xiao Xihua's head from her waist and patted the other party's head, "Your biological mother is watching from below~"
"Breath ......" seemed to respond, and the mother whale below let out a long call...... No, not a response!
The originally stable back of the whale shook violently, as if it had encountered a stormy ship, Xinglan quickly took a few steps in a row to maintain balance, and suddenly saw the white whiskers around him suddenly stretched out, and quickly tied Xinglan and the little whale firmly on the back of the whale!
Bang!
The huge body of the mother whale suddenly rolled in the water, and the violent concussion made the water make a thunderous noise, roaring and raising monstrous waves!
What happened? Unlike the dizzy little whale, Xinglan is a robot body after all, and can forcibly control herself from falling into vertigo, and maintains a clear mind through high-speed calculations.
"Resting ......"
The mother whale opened her mouth wide, and the roar she made almost make the water droplets in the air tremble, and her voice was full of anger and warning!
"Twitter......"
A series of strange high-pitched sounds spread through the seawater, and looking in the direction from which the sound came from, the camera in Xinglan's eyes finally saw the true face of the enemy in the opposite sea at the moment when the mother whale rolled again......
Black...... Squid? It's huge!
After using the huge current set off by the tumbling water to rush a huge squid tens of meters long for a distance, the mother whale stopped rolling and quietly stopped on the surface of the water, every muscle tensed, and fell into a tense confrontation with her opponent with teeth and claws.
Ignoring the little whale that had just come back to her senses, Xinglan looked across the side surrounded by white whiskers......
The squid also surfaced, a giant squid dozens of meters long covered in peculiar gray spots...... It gave Xinglan an indescribable feeling, it didn't seem to be an ordinary soft squid, there was something wrong!
Although this squid is big, it is not enough to make the mother whale so panicked, right? Xinglan narrowed her eyes slightly and looked around, could it be ......
Whoa!
With the sound of breaking water, more heads covered with gray spots emerged from the water, and the dark bulbous eyes stared closely at the surrounded mother whale...... Resting Whale and Starland were gorgeously ignored.
"Looks like we're going to be in trouble this time." Looking around, Xinglan said softly, "Actually...... Are there five of them? ”
"Breathing ......" The little breathing whale also saw this kind of posture for the first time, and with a hint of nervousness in his voice, he moved a little towards the depths of the white whiskers.
Even Xinglan was a little weak in her heart, soft creatures or something, it seemed to be very dangerous, but the worst thing was ......
Is that the tentacle that Xiao Cheng said was the most lethal to the girl? Xinglan looked at the tentacles waving in the air and bit her lip gently.
(Dormant Xiao Cheng: "My knees!") Who shot the arrow just now? ”)
"Twitter......" A squid seemed to be unable to wait, and suddenly shrank one by one, and a jet of water rushed towards this side with a jet of water behind him, and a gray-white tentacle was raised high in the air and jerked over!
......The mother whale let out a long roar, and the white whiskers on her back tied up Xinglan and the little whale again, and then her huge body rolled twice in a row in the seawater......
Bang!
The dodged tentacles slammed into the water, splashing huge waves and making it seem like a light rain fell above the sea......
After ......being rotated twice at high speed, Xinglan calmed down slightly, allowing the gyroscope that held the balance inside her body to quickly stabilize, and then looked at the squid in front of her and frowned, "What's that?" Something is wrong......"
The squid's tentacles were raised high again, but instead of softening as quickly as normal pure musculature would, they remained upright.
Countless tiny bumps like sarcomas moved rapidly on the tentacles, gradually converging in the middle to form a long bulge......
"Strange, what the hell is this?" Xing Lan's eyes stared at the raised ribbon object, only to see it suddenly break through its skin, revealing a pale color that was very close to the gray-white tentacles, and it seemed to be covered with countless lines.
"Bone ...... Skeleton? ”
How could a mollusk like a squid have bones? Xinglan was unbelievable, but that pale form was indeed exactly the same as a creature skeleton...... Wait a minute! Before, it was clear that tentacles could be twisted at will, but after the combination of those tiny bumps......
"Impossible...... Xing Lan used the magnification system in her eyes to look at the dense lines on the pale bone, "It just assembled countless tiny bones into a complete, sturdy large bone?" ”
This...... This is not scientific! Assembled to be as tough as a complete bone, these little bones have to fit together just like the bricks, and even disintegrate again under the pull of the muscles...... Should it be said that the evolution of life is really omnipotent?
Well, it's decided, this species is called the bone squid!
……
The tentacle was no longer a tentacle, but turned into a sharp giant knife, and the squid pounced again, swinging its blade at the mother whale!
After the majestic roar of "Breath ......", the mother whale greeted it fearlessly, flexibly avoiding the edge of the blade, and the huge dark blue tail exerted the terrifying power of the giant beast under the drive of powerful muscles, and slammed the tentacles with the bone blade back!
After the muffled sound, the two sides stepped back and confronted each other again, and the other four bone-crushing squids seemed to be happy to see their reckless companions drain their opponent's strength for them, and watched from the sidelines without intervening.
Well, if this reckless guy dies in battle, he can eat an extra portion of meat later...... Not only because the number of squid allotted is one less, but also because the bone-crushed squid can still eat the meat of the dead kind.
In this engagement, it seems that neither side has gained any advantage. Even if the mother whale tried her best to avoid the sharp blade, there was still a huge blood mark on her tail, although it would not bleed to death without hemostatic function like the so-called cetaceans on the earth, but it also greatly affected the play of combat effectiveness.
The bonecrusher squid was also traumatized, and its tentacles that made up the bone blade twisted in a strange shape. If it were a normal creature, it would have been a serious comminuted fracture, but it didn't hurt that much.
The muscles that had remained intact in the collision squirmed slightly, and several of the bones that made up the bone blade disintegrated again, some of the seemingly damaged bones were mercilessly squeezed out of the breach, and the rest began to assemble again.
The hard bone blade disintegrated into countless small joints, rapidly deforming, keeping the tentacles flexible while ensuring the strength of the attack.
It's a bone whip.
"It's just a joke!" Xinglan looked at the magical change of the bone-shattering squid on the opposite side in disbelief, "Is the existence of this soft creature really okay?" Is this casual way of playing with bones like in anime really not against science? ”
The "......" mother whale also seems to be more nervous, this opponent is very troublesome at the moment, although it is confident that it can solve the opponent, but don't forget, there are four same adult bone squid next to it!
The little whale lay beside Xinglan and didn't dare to make a sound at all, and for a while, the battlefield fell into a terrible dead silence, which was the calm before the storm.
As if it wasn't enough, under Xinglan's even more surprised gaze, the joints on the bone whip of the bone-crushing squid began to deform one by one, bulging and rotating, and finally turned into sharp serrations.
Xinglan clenched her palms and stared speechlessly at the bone-shattering squid that began to squirt water again: "How did this crazy biological weapon evolve......
