182 Ocean Buffet
The "fishing nets" are woven with highly elastic silk threads, and at the intersection of the silk threads, they are inlaid with metal grains the size of rice grains.
Chu Zixue said that in order to have the effect of soul protection, the spirit rhino alloy must be broken enough! Weaving garments with wire is one way, and Lupin's dismantling into many pieces of metal is another equally effective way.
Because he has so many forms, it is impossible for Lupin to make the spirit rhino alloy into a certain fixed style of clothing.
Otherwise, you won't be able to wear it in another form, and this kind of soul-level defense will be half useless...... Nowadays, this fishing net has excellent elasticity, no matter what form it takes, as long as you put it on your body, you can roughly envelop yourself!
The kind of silk thread that threads the needle is the most expensive.
It cost Lupin 30,000 crystal coins just to buy silk thread...... It is said to be a protein structure that mimics the silk of some spiders, which is fine, tough, and has excellent elasticity.
Even if you swim rapidly in the water in the form of a dolphin, the resistance it creates will not be too much of a hindrance.
Lupin quickly swam and sent the Lingxi shoulder to Yu Xin, but halfway through, he was suddenly stunned for a moment.
Just now, the creature editor sent a hint that he had just obtained the genes of some kind of algae creature.
Lupin slowly reacted.
"It seems that the octopus clone, it took three days to finally find the canyon of life......"
————
Canyon of Life.
A strange visitor was clinging to a rock at the top of the canyon, the color of his body was almost exactly the same as that of the rock, and two small round and slightly protruding eyes quietly overlooked the sea below.
At such a depth, the light is so dim that you can barely see your fingers...... But in the depths of the canyon, there was a faint glimmer of light.
That's because some glowing marine creatures, such as ctenophores, fluorescent squid and some planktonic algae, move in it.
From a distance, the bottom of the sea looks like a huge black wall, but suddenly someone has cut a crack with an axe, and a glimmer of hope shines through the gap!
It was the glimmer of life.
Even in the ocean full of hell toxins, it is inconceivable that there is such a place where the fire of life on earth has not yet been extinguished.
The octopus clone jumps!
It remembered the "mission" assigned by Lupin, and rushed into the submarine canyon desperately.
Spread your eight claws, as if opening a parachute, and the whole thing slowly sinks.
In the surrounding water, there are often tiny plankton floating by, and the octopus clone follows the instinct to eat, rolling up some algae with its tentacles and stuffing it directly into its mouth.
The food is plentiful, and with the flow of water, it's like a free run-and-go belt sushi buffet.
The size of the octopus doppelganger is about 25 cm in diameter at the torso and about one meter when the tentacles are fully open.
For these little things around them, they are simply incomparably powerful, if they were conscious, I am afraid they would have scattered and fled a long time ago, but unfortunately they did not.
The octopus clone has eight wrists and feet in unison, feasting on it, and all the tiny creatures will disappear directly the moment they are stuffed into its mouth, and its appetite seems to have no upper limit.
But as it slowly sank, that began to change.
For some reason, the further you sank, the average size of the creatures around me seemed to slowly increase.
The octopus clone begins to encounter prey with some resistance ability...... For example, some bright small fish the size of a palm, a small shrimp with a strong elastic torso, or some sea crabs with teeth and claws!
They do not threaten octopus clones.
However, they are able to try to escape, or create an obstacle to the octopus clone's feeding - for example, the octopus clone is now encountering a difficult one, which is a hermit crab.
Normal hermit crabs will occupy some conch shells, shells, and snail shells as their "home", and some will even occupy the bottles and cans that humans throw into the ocean.
There was something strange in front of me...... It actually occupies a cave in the rock wall of an underwater canyon.
Lupin discovered last time that the cliffs on both sides of the Life Canyon were full of large and small porous structures, and some holes had become habitats for various tiny creatures.
And the hermit crab in front of him actually directly occupies a cave with a diameter of 15cm, and regards the cave as his home! As a result, it loses the ability to move around on its back compared to the common hermit crab, but it seems that because of the abundance of food in this canyon and its constant flow, it will not starve to death even if it settles here.
The octopus clone stretched out a tentacle and wrapped half of the hermit crab's body, pulling it out.
But the other party was stuck, and all his steps were pulling hard at the surrounding coral rocks, trying to retract! It actually retracted a few centimeters.
In this way, the octopus clone can grasp less part, and the other party can use more force, and after a while, even the two strongest and powerful chelicerae retracted into it, and began to clasp the inside of the cave to exert force...... In the end, the suction cups on the octopus's tentacles fell off one by one, and the other party successfully retracted into the depths of the cave and never showed his head again.
The octopus clone had no choice but to give up, continue to sink, and hunt other prey.
After sinking a few dozen meters...... The creatures around them are a little bigger, and the octopus clones are finally meeting a close match!
A fierce-looking moray eel cowered in its burrow, staring at the octopus clone with malicious eyes.
Its huddled body was more than a meter long, with sharp teeth, a flat and powerful body, and barbs on its back.
When the octopus clone floated stupidly past the hole, it probed like lightning!
The mouth full of sharp teeth directly bit the middle of one of the tentacles of the octopus clone, swinging its body back and forth, and tearing it fiercely.
The octopus clone immediately flocked all eight brachiopods towards the moray eel, trying to counter the opponent and waiting for an opportunity to swallow it...... But the flat, spiny body of the moray eel is just right to restrain the soft wrists and feet of the octopus! The octopus clone was busy for a long time and couldn't entangle each other, but was torn off by the moray eel and the half of the wrist and foot that was bitten!
The moray eel retracted into the burrow contentedly, devouring the octopus whiskers dozens of centimeters long and feasting on them.
The octopus clone stayed in place, and the place where the tentacle broke had healed in the blink of an eye, and began to produce new flesh buds...... It was suspended in the sea, as if thinking about something.
After a few moments, it began to slowly move upstream.
Returning to the depths where the creature was slightly smaller than its average size, and at that depth, moving sideways a little bit against the cliff wall, began to look for the cave.
Moments later......
I found a cave with a diameter of about 40cm and a suitable depth, and then I drilled into the whole body! Only eight brachiopods are left, ready to capture passing creatures.

Far away at the Crystal Palace, Lupin watched the hints coming from the creature editor.
Since a few hours ago, various biological genes have been continuously acquired.
"It's good, it's mostly tiny plankton, but it's better than nothing! And some small creatures may also have genes that can be useful...... There's nothing going on at the moment, so I'm just going to look into it slowly. Lupin was very happy.
This feeling of being sitting at home and having genes in the sky reminded him of the days when he was caught in a gangster laboratory and picked up the genes of white-limbed bison!
What could be more comfortable than that?
It's just that Lupin hasn't been idle for long, but he received a phone call from Dr. Ge, who said that the samples he asked him to analyze last time had results.
