Everyone carefully walked sideways through the passage of the octopus. As they passed by, the octopus's eyes were swollen to huge size, as if it was following them silently. It seemed like moving fish eyes in a fantasy world.
"Do you think this octopus is really dead?" Zhang Zheng suddenly said a little suspiciously.
Zhao Ying looked at Zhang Zheng, who was turning green, and mocked: "Did you have a neurasthenia again?"
"The father and daughter in the library were already 'dead' long 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?
This is a chaotic world now.
Several people were left speechless, and their steps that were about to pass through the passage were paused.
"But those are humans after all...here are just some fish."
This sentence is full of human arrogance. This sentence seemed to echo in Jiang Shan's mind.
Gao Wenwu's voice came coldly: "Don't forget, we almost died in our sleep." The culprits were these "fish".
"Do you think it could be the octopus in front of you?"
Zhang Zheng's hand was shaking as he held the camera. He had just seen the octopus's octagonal tentacles rising in the water, shaking like a snake.
Zhao Ying seemed helpless and said: "Stop making trouble."
Zhang Zheng actually stopped arguing with Zhao Ying and said: "...Look at how lifeless this place is. We have only seen this one dead octopus until now."
There was not even ashes left in all the fish, but the octopus in front of him almost still retained its complete body.
(Popular science, octopus is a mollusk, not a fish.)
Jiang Shan pulled Zhang Zheng to distract him: "Show me the photos you took."
Zhang Zheng's expression softened a little, and he would not refuse Jiang Shan now.
At least it can deal with five of them at the same time, so that they can't even remember when they fell into the illusion. At least this "creature" must be very smart.
Zhao Ying said softly: "The octopus's brain and neurons are indeed extremely developed...the brain nervous system is the closest to humans."
According to research, octopuses have survived on the earth for more than 300 million years, far longer than humans. The octopus even has more nerves than many mammals on earth. Moreover, due to the appearance of the octopus, many people once said on some alien forums that the octopus is not actually a creature of the earth. This argument is very popular on the Internet.
Jiang Shan suddenly said: "Look at its feet, are they 'gnawed' by something?"
The tentacles and body of this octopus were not "eroded" away. The eight broken tentacle legs and the strange tooth marks at the fractures.
"Can you see this?" Zhang Zheng said.
Forget that the eyes of Miracle Goodness are one thousand watt light bulbs.
Gao Wenwu said: "Does it matter whether it is eaten away or eroded away?"
Jiang Shan paused, she thought it was relevant. In the dream, the big fish eats the small fish, and the small fish eats the shrimp.
What creature is above this giant octopus that gnaws at it?
"Look at its eyes! Are its eyes moving?!" Zhang Zheng jumped far away as if he had been electrocuted.
The others immediately looked back at the glass wall. The octopus still maintained its previous posture, with its real "open teeth and five claws": "It's just squeezed by the water, don't scare yourself."
As a result, just as he said this, the octopus face in front of him slammed into the glass wall, and the huge blow almost squashed its already swollen face. Like dough.
"Look, look! Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!" Zhang Zheng couldn't control a series of words in his mouth.
Wei Yuan's voice suddenly came through: "Take pictures."
Um? Zhang Zheng's open mouth paused. Jiang Shan also reacted: "Now, take another picture quickly."
Fortunately, even though Zhang Zheng was quite frightened, he didn't stop yet. He raised his camera and took a picture.
The photo swayed out, and everyone came closer to take a look. Their first reaction was that the octopus "went out."
The octopus, which was as transparent as crystal, disappeared. The octopus photographed now, with its fangs and five claws, its head squeezed flat, and its miserable appearance are exactly the same as what you can see with the naked eye at this moment.
"It's really changed..."
If we talk about death, does it count as complete death now?
Regardless of all the shouting and yelling around him, Jiang Shan stared at the photo intently, feeling a strange feeling.
The octopus, which had returned to its physical form, could see more clearly.
Jiang Shan couldn't help but point to the transparent photo he had taken before: "Is this the head of an octopus?" Because the organs have become transparent, you can clearly see each outline.
"Which one is its brain?" Jiang Shan was a little curious.
Judging from the transparent photos, the head of the octopus is almost semi-hollow, and the inside of the huge brain cavity is obviously strange.
Wei Yuan suddenly looked over here.
Others are not octopus experts, and it would be too difficult for them to tell where the brain is by staring at the empty photo.
The photo was transferred to Wei Yuan again. "An octopus has nine brains."
Jiang Shan was a little surprised.
"The octopus's accessory brain is distributed among its eight tentacles."
Eight tentacles were chewed, and what was chewed off was its brain. "All its brains were eaten."
Including the main brain and 8 deputy brains.
"What, what do you mean?" Zhang Zhengcai asked after a long time with a stupid look on his face.
It is difficult for people who have not studied marine biology to imagine that most animals on the earth, including humans, have only one brain. In addition to the head, the octopus also has 8 accessory brains distributed on the arms and legs of its tentacles. Each arm has a brain. The main neuron brain accounts for 40%, and the accessory brain occupies the remaining 60%, so It is difficult to escape from an octopus attack because each of its tentacles can "determine independently" how to catch you.
But the octopus in front of me.
Wei Yuan put down the photo: "It is indeed dead."
Whoever ate the octopus' brain only ate its brain. An empty shell was left behind.
According to Wei Yuan's ordering rules, octopuses are truly "ancient creatures." If we follow the rules of erosion, the octopus in front of us should be one of the safest creatures in the entire aquarium.
But it is dead now, and the state of death is a bit miserable.
Gao Wenwu said silently: "If the weak eats the strong and treats it as food, why do they only eat the brains?" Will he still pick when he is extremely hungry?
Wei Yuan's fingertips seemed to be caressing the photo unconsciously: "Because I'm afraid it's not food, but nourishment."
Nourish, nourish?
It's like a loving parent saying, be good and eat whatever you want.
I got a...
"It's not easy to catch and kill an octopus, especially such a giant octopus." Regardless of the evolutionary perspective or the capacity of brain neurons, the octopus in front of him is definitely top-notch.
It had nine brains and eight legs, but it never fought or escaped. It was hollowed out and dumped in this glass coffin.
Even before he died, he tried his best to make himself transparent, but in the end he did not escape the fate of death.
Write and delete, delete and write. Happy weekend, kids
