The giant octopus drove the small group of krill in front of it slowly back to the source of the fungus.
It is actually not very skilled at catching krill.
After all, this is not its original way of hunting.
But its original hunting method can no longer provide it with enough energy, so it can only imitate the methods of large creatures in the past, so that it can eat a lot of food in one bite.
Suddenly, the giant octopus, which had been moving forward at a constant speed, paused, and the tentacles behind it stopped expanding and contracting.
The little blue ball of light felt something was wrong: "Why isn't it moving?"
The giant octopus was quiet for a moment, then said slowly, "I want to collect some more small things. There's not enough for me to eat here."
The little blue ball of light was speechless: "That's nothing! Can't you stop thinking about eating all the time? Eat after you finish your work."
The giant octopus's suckers contracted, and it sensed an unusual vibration coming from the water. A flicker of surprise crossed its eyes.
Someone came to the pond.
Going back?
don't want.
The pool was too small, only enough to hold one of its arms. It had no advantage in fighting humans there; it could only thrive in wide-open spaces like this.
Only a fool would go back and be a target.
There's no need for it to guard that place.
The light ball wanted it to fight humans, and the bacterial source could help it produce mutants. But the giant octopus didn't need so many mutants.
It hopes that humans will reproduce, otherwise there will not be enough food.
It has to eat four or five tons of food in one meal, and it has to rely on shrimps and crabs in the water to fill its stomach.
However, maybe I can find an opportunity to sneak attack humans and get two of them to eat.
But there are only so few people now, and we can’t even get enough to eat.
The key is that humans have very powerful guns and cannons. Many people in its territory were killed by guns and cannons. Some of them did not look seriously injured and did not die immediately, but they could still bleed to death.
Or after being injured and bleeding, it becomes food for other fish, and one fish takes a bite and it's gone.
In short, it definitely doesn't want to come into contact with guns and cannons.
Thinking of this, the giant octopus turned around and said firmly: "I'll go catch the mantis shrimp below."
It thought that if one day, if the sea creatures could also make this kind of guns and cannons, they might be able to raise humans in captivity like fish and shrimps, and kill one or two when they wanted to eat them.
The big octopus felt happy when he thought of this.
But the little blue ball of light didn't let it go: "Didn't I tell you to go back? You didn't listen to me! Do you want to die early? If you don't eat humans, you will definitely die early!"
The giant octopus blinked impatiently, but still raised its tentacles and twisted them at a strange rhythm. "I've already notified the sea snake! It'll rush the food over to the pool. But now, I need to eat!"
Seeing that it was a little angry, the little blue ball of light was no longer so tough. After all, their relationship was only a verbal agreement.
But the light it shone was dim. The sea monster wasn't any use either. Perhaps that was the solution.

Watching the blue crystals in the pool gradually disappear under the efforts of the drilling machine, with only a few pieces left, Qiao Xuejun's eyes were filled with suspicion rather than relief.
What's going on?
Until the end, the book consciousness did not show up!
Zhao Xian also found it strange. He and Qiao Xuejun looked at each other and asked in surprise, "So smooth?"
Qiao Xuejun was skeptical, "Is this place fake? Is there another source of bacteria?"
She was really skeptical.
The book consciousness hadn't caused any trouble at all. Even if it hadn't appeared, it would have caused trouble. Moreover, based on recent observations, it seemed to be able to drive those small mutants, allowing them to attack the base in waves, suicide attacks.
So why not use it against them now?
Qiao Xuejun was puzzled.
Qiao Xuejun asked the system: "Is this a scam?"
System: "...No trick. Maybe it just didn't notice we were here."
Qiao Xuejun: "Didn't notice?"
The system said, "I can sense it's nearby. Its energy is too weak and I can completely isolate it. It can't sense our presence."
Seeing the last blue crystal on the pool wall being shattered and falling, Qiao Xuejun felt relieved, but she was still worried.
I always feel empty when I don’t see the consciousness of books.
Zhao Xian and Qiao Xuejun checked around the pool to make sure no fish had escaped.
The stone walls were basically destroyed.
The bumps and potholes reveal traces of where blue crystal once existed.
After walking around, they were all done.
Zhao Xian ordered: "Pack up everything. Move out and wait."
The patrol soldiers followed his instructions and began to pack up their equipment and prepare to leave the cave.
Zhao Xian and Qiao Xuejun stood by the pool, some distance away from the crowd. Zhao Xian began to ask, "Tell me, how long will it take for this thing to be resurrected?"
Qiao Xuejun had told Zhao Xian before that these things could be restored if they were damaged.
But there was no exact response time before.
Now Qiao Xuejun asked the system.
The system said: "Wait for me to check it!"
Seeing that Qiao Xuejun didn't speak, Zhao Xian didn't urge her, knowing that she would have to ask about the world consciousness again.
After a while, Qiao Xuejun replied: "It will grow back in about two months."
Zhao Xian raised his eyebrows: "Two months? Not bad, it's quite long."
According to the results reported to him by the research laboratory, two months is enough to produce the final medicine.
Zhao Xian asked again, "Do we need to station troops here? To guard it and prevent it from being moved away?"
But sending troops wouldn't work. There might be another way.
