Chapter 131: Gnawing off the brain
The crowd carefully walked sideways through the octopus's passage, and as they passed by, the octopus swollen to the point of its huge eyes, as if it followed them silently. It seems to have become the eyes of a fish that moves in a fantasy.
"You say, is this octopus really dead?" Zhang Zheng suddenly said a little suspiciously.
Zhao Ying looked at Zhang Zheng, whose face was green, and sneered: "Are you scared out of neurasthenia again?" ”
"Didn't the father and daughter in the library also 'die' a long time ago, but we were still almost killed......
If we only talk about it from the perspective of death and life, what is death and what is life.
Now this chaotic and disordered world.
Several people were a little speechless, and the steps that were supposed to pass through the passage paused.
"But it's human, after all...... Here are just some fish. ”
This sentence is really full of human arrogance. Jiang Shan's mind seemed to ring this sentence.
Gao Wenwu's voice came coldly: "Don't forget, we almost died in a dream. "The culprits are precisely these "fish".
"Do you think it's going to be the octopus in front of you?"
Zhang Zheng held the camera and his hand was shaking, he had just seen the octopus's octagonal tentacles rising in the water, shaking like a spiritual snake.
Zhao Ying seemed helpless and said, "Don't make trouble." ”
Zhang Zheng didn't even quarrel with Zhao Ying, and said, "...... You see it's lifeless, and we've seen this dead octopus until now. ”
All the fish didn't even have ash left, but the octopus in front of him almost still had its body intact.
(According to popular science, octopuses are mollusks, not fish.) )
Jiang Shan pulled Zhang Zheng and distracted him: "Show me the photos you took again." ”
Zhang Zheng's face softened a little, and he would not refuse Jiang Shan now.
At least it can deal with all five of them at the same time, so they can't even remember when they fell into the illusion, at least this "creature" must be very smart.
Zhao Ying said softly: "The brain and neurons of the octopus are indeed abnormally developed...... The cerebral nervous system is similar to that of humans. ”
According to research, octopuses have lived on the earth for more than 300 million years, far exceeding humans. Even the number of nerves in the octopus surpasses that of many mammals on Earth. Moreover, the appearance and shape of the octopus has been said on some alien forums that the octopus is not actually an earthly creature. This argument is very popular on the Internet.
Jiang Shan suddenly said: "Look at its feet, what is 'gnawing', right?" ”
The tentacles and body of this octopus were not "eroded" away, the eight severed tentacle feet, and the strange tooth marks at the fractures.
"You can see that?" Zhang Zhengdao.
Forget that the miracle good eye is a kilowatt light bulb.
Gao Wenwu said: "Does it matter if it is gnawed off or eroded. ”
Jiang Shan paused, she felt that it was related. In the dream, the big fish eat the small fish, and the small fish eat the shrimp.
What is it that is above this giant octopus that eats it?
"Look at its eyes! Is its eyes moving?! Zhang Zheng jumped out of the distance as if he had been electrocuted.
The others immediately looked back at the glass wall, and the octopus was still in its previous position, with a real "tooth and five claws": "It's just that the water is crowded, don't scare yourself." ”
As a result, at the moment of this sentence, the octopus face in front of him crashed into the glass wall, and the huge one almost flattened its already swollen face. Like a dough.
"Look, look! Ahh Zhang Zheng's mouth couldn't be controlled, and there was another series.
Wei Yuan's voice suddenly came in: "Take pictures." ”
Well? Zhang Zheng's open mouth paused. Jiang Shan also reacted: "Take advantage of now, hurry up and take another one." ”
Fortunately, although Zhang Zheng was frightened, he didn't pull it across, and he raised the camera and clicked one.
The photo swayed and spit out, and everyone came closer to look at it, and the first reaction was that the octopus was "extinguished".
The octopus, which was as transparent as crystal, was gone. The octopus photographed now, with teeth and five claws, and its head squeezed flat, looks miserable, exactly the same as what the naked eye sees in front of him at the moment.
"It's really changed......
If we talk about death, is it considered to be a complete death now?
Regardless of the various shouts and shouts next to him, Jiang Shan stared at the photo intently, and had a strange feeling.
The octopus, which has changed back into a physical prototype, can see more clearly.
Jiang Shan couldn't help but point to the transparent photo taken before: "Is this the head of an octopus?" "Because the organs are all transparent, you can clearly see the outlines.
"Which is its brain?" Jiang Shan was a little curious.
Judging from the transparent photos, the octopus's head is almost semi-hollow, and the huge brain cavity is obviously very strange.
Wei Yuan suddenly looked over to this side.
Others aren't Octopus experts either, and it's really hard for them to stare at empty photos and tell where their brains are.
The photo was recirculated to Wei Yuan. "Octopuses have nine brains."
Jiang Shan was a little surprised.
"The octopus's accessory brain is distributed in its eight tentacles."
Eight tentacles were gnawed, and it was its brains that were gnawed off, "all of its brains were eaten." ”
Including the main brain, 8 accessory brains.
"What, what do you mean?" After a long time, Zhang Zhengcai asked with a stupid face.
It is hard for anyone who has not studied marine biology to imagine that most animals on Earth, including humans, have only one brain. The octopus, in addition to the head, also has 8 accessory brains distributed above its tentacles and brachiopods, each brachiopod has a brain, the neuronal main brain accounts for 40%, and the accessory brain occupies the remaining 60, so it is difficult to escape from being attacked by the octopus, because each of its tentacles can "autonomously" decide how to catch you.
But the octopus in front of you.
Wei Yuan put down the photo: "It's indeed dead." ”
Whoever eats the brain of an octopus, only eats its brain. An empty shell was left behind.
According to Wei Yuan's sorting law, the octopus is a real "ancient creature", and if the law of erosion is followed, the octopus in front of him should be one of the safest creatures in the entire aquarium.
But it's dead now, and it's still a little miserable.
Gao Wenwu said silently: "If it is the weak and the strong, treat it as food, why only eat the brain." "Would you still pick when you're hungry?
Wei Yuan's fingertips seemed to unconsciously rub the photo: "Because I'm afraid it's not food, it's nourishment." ”
Nourishment, nourishment?
It's like a very loving parent saying, "Be good, eat what you eat."
I'm ......
"It's not easy to catch and kill an octopus, especially a giant octopus like this." Whether it is from an evolutionary point of view or the capacity of brain neurons, the octopus in front of you is definitely top-notch.
With 9 brains and 8 legs, it has never fought or escaped, and has been hollowed out and discarded in this glass coffin.
Even before he died, he tried his best to become transparent, but he did not escape the fate of death.
