135. Elephant trunk octopus

The captain said, "Cast the net, cast the net immediately." ”

I also found a high point and climbed up to look at it condescendingly, only to see a huge oval body looming in the dark inky water, which should be the head of the octopus, also covered with yellow-black stripes, the captain also came to me, and said: "See, what a beautiful creature this is, octopuses are very amazing creatures, they can even distinguish themselves in the mirror, and can easily find a feasible path from the maze laid out by scientists, And the tiger striped octopus and the elephant trunk octopus have superhuman intelligence and unparalleled strength, and there is no more perfect creature in the world. ”

Although the length of the tentacles of the tiger octopus was beyond my imagination, the head was not particularly huge, and I said, "Congratulations, it seems that you have already got the five million dollars." ”

The captain laughed and said, "Thank you for auspicious words, we have a share in the meeting this time." Then he said to the sailor, "Don't be reluctant to measure it, throw more food at it." After thinking about it, he said, "Put that dead man in a bucket and soak it and throw it down." Another sailor immediately brought the body of the first mate to the rescue, and the two men carefully carried their feet into the bucket of swill, and then took them out and threw them directly into the sea.

But the unexpected happened, the first mate's arm did not completely come out of the barrel, so he was thrown into the sea and dragged over the plastic bucket, and some of the stinky water in it was poured on the deck, and then the plastic bucket rolled into the sea.

The captain frowned and shouted, "There is no bait, let's set up a net here to catch it." ”

Before I finished speaking, I saw the tiger-striped octopus sway, and suddenly swam in the opposite direction, completely ignoring the "temptation of food", I laughed: "It seems that your bait smells too much, and you smoked this thing away." ”

The captain also said with a puzzled face: "It stands to reason that it shouldn't be like this, today is really evil." Before he finished speaking, two red lights lit up in the dark seawater, which was very clear in the dark seawater, and his complexion instantly changed and said loudly: "Damn, that girl is not hiding from food at all, but we measured too big to seduce the elephant trunk octopus, and the female octopus does not dare to compete with the male octopus for food." ”

As the rise of the two red lights accelerated, although the sea was very dark, we could still clearly see a huge dark black silhouette floating towards the sea, and its size was not enough for half of it with four or five tiger octopuses combined, and I only felt that the hair on my body stood upside down: "You said that the length of the elephant trunk octopus is less than twenty meters, and it looks like a head alone is far more than twenty meters long." ”

The captain also gasped and said, "There is a difference in size of any species, maybe we have met the largest of the elephant-trunked octopuses today." At this moment, a huge roar suddenly sounded on the sea, and I saw that the tiger-striped octopus that had swam out of the elephant trunk octopus's "sphere of influence" was suddenly wrapped in a few dark brown tentacles as thick as elephant legs and lifted out of the sea, and then was pressed into the sea, and then a dark brown area like a small island appeared on the sea, which should be the top of the elephant trunk octopus's huge head, and I saw that the surrounding sea water was immediately swept up by it A huge ripple, quickly expanded to all around, And the body parts of the elephant trunk octopus tumble in the sea water for a long time before disappearing into the sea, and it is clear that this one is no less large than the first one.

The captain immediately shouted into the cockpit, "Full speed forward." Then he said to me, "Damn, this is a trouble, a bucket of stinky water has attracted all the nearby elephant trunk octopuses." ”

Faced with two huge elephant trunk octopuses, where did he still have the desire to make money, and immediately commanded the "Endeavour" to return, because the octopus appeared in the shallow sea, although the night vision conditions are not good, but under the illumination of the searchlight, we can still clearly see their thick and long tentacles stretching and shrinking in the sea water, quickly chasing us, the huge size is something we can't imagine at all, The dark brown skin of these octopuses, which resembles elephant skin, and the red eyes like lanterns, accentuate their strength and fear.

This "sea monster hunter" who wanted to catch this kind of octopus and make a lot of money, at this moment he was clutching the mast, his whole body was shaking like electricity, and he couldn't even speak, I really couldn't figure out where this kind of person had the guts to kill people, so I slapped him in the mouth and said: "What should I do now?" You've got to get an idea. ”

Only then did he come back to his senses and shouted: "them all for me, don't let their tentacles touch the hull, those suction cups are too powerful, and we won't be able to walk if we touch them." ”

Several crew members hurriedly retrieved various weapons from the storage room, and the deck was suddenly busy, but I found that Uncle Liao was very calm standing on the starboard side of the deck, motionless and looking at the huge octopus in the sea, as if he was not afraid of these things at all.

These people took their weapons and began to shoot at the octopus in the sea, for a while the gunfire came and went, and the sea surface also continued to appear to be shot by the bullets to stir up the splash, just like cold water boiling a pot, and then there was a roar that moved the ground today, and two of the sailors who stood on the bow of the ship to shoot actually fell to the ground because they were afraid of falling, and then a huge splash of water shot up, and three dark brown huge tentacles rose from the splash, they shook in the air and suddenly stretched out to the bow of the ship like lightning, and rolled up three sailors under the gaze of everyone, After that, before the three of them could shout, they saw a burst of blood, and the three of them were caught in two.

All this happened in an instant, until the bodies of the three dead fell into the sea, and the sailors remembered to shoot at the octopus tentacles, which spewed out a burst of transparent liquid, which seemed to be its blood, and then the tentacles quickly retracted into the sea.

The tentacles of the octopus belong to the same renewable body tissue as the tail of the gecko, so although it "came out of blood", it was not hurt at all, and the pain would irritate it.

I suddenly thought of a question, so I asked the captain next to me, "Why did these two octopuses bite us so hard?" It stands to reason that they have run so far away, and there is no reason for them to follow the two of us. ”

The captain thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "I understand, it must be the stinky water on the deck that attracts these monsters. Then he yelled at the crew, "Clean up the stinking water from the deck and stop hitting it." ”

But now that the battle was in a state of "white heat", no one heard his orders, and the captain could not wait, so he slipped off the mast and took a bucket of drinking water and began to wipe the stinky places on the deck, but soon he discovered a new problem: the soles of the sailors' feet were stained with a lot of stinking water, and running around left many stinking footprints, and cleaning these footprints was not something that could be done in a short time.

At this moment, there were two loud "bang" sounds on both sides of the hull, and then I only felt a tremor under my feet, and the speed of the fishing boat that was sailing at high speed suddenly decreased, so that the huge inertia generated made the crew close to the deck shoot unstable, some of them turned over and fell out of the side of the boat and fell straight into the sea, and before they fell into the sea, they were firmly caught by those huge tentacles, some were directly stuffed into the big mouth of the octopus hidden under the sea, and some were immediately clamped into two sections.

The screams of the sailors were incessant, which made more sailors fearful, and they did not dare to shoot down from the side of the ship, but hurriedly retreated towards the cabin, and let Zhou Shuangping stop him, and no one paid attention to it at all.

The speed of the ship slowed down sharply until it stopped, because the sides of the hull had been controlled by the tentacles of the elephant trunk octopus, and then many thick tentacles emerged from all over the stern like fast-growing vines that instantly covered the entire stern, and this time it was clear from close range, the suckers on these wriggling tentacles were each about the size of a person, and the captain who tried to capture the giant beast and wanted to make a fortune seemed to be frightened crazy, and he actually did not run away, but took out his pistol and aimed it at the tentacles and kept shooting.
