Chapter 356 Growing Pains
Without spending too much time, it determined one thing, that is, it could really move on land without being restricted.
——Octopus, and larger squids, one of the main reasons why soft creatures like them cannot live on land is that there is no buoyancy generated by sea water to share the weight of their body, so they will definitely be crushed by the weight of their body.
In order to adapt to the environment, human mammals have grown a skeleton that supports their bodies, and replaced it with molluscs living on the ground. Only snails are suitable for chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic chestic che
Judging from its current physical structure, it should have been unable to adapt to the gravity of land, but surprisingly, it can move flexibly on the ground.
(It seems that in order to adapt to this land environment, my body has changed again...)
It keenly feels the changes inside the body, and cartilage-like tissue grows from the body to support the body. Its multi-wrist tentacles become stronger, and scales grow on it, which can scale scales and muscles like snakes to produce movement.
This allows it to move quickly on the ground without any inconvenience.
It's really a convenient body, how can it feel messy?
Having said that, what am I? In my memory, normal creatures cannot have these abilities.
(That is, I am actually a... Martian?! Yes, only this can explain why I have superpowers... However, not all Martians have green skins, can see through the mind, have plural superpowers, and play superheroes on Earth. What is your favorite food? It's not right... By the way, this setting feels like a strong visual feeling!)
If you recall carefully, I am not a Martian, but I should not be an indigenous inhabitant of this planet.
"Anotherwise, where is this place?"
It climbed up to the head of the bed and found a large world map with a larger version of the UK map next to it.
"Great America and the Northern Ireland Republic, kidding... it should be somewhere in Great Britain?"
There were many English books in the bookcase in the room. It jumped up to check it out and found that the works of many famous British writers were combined with the enlarged versions highlighted on the map, and labeled the administrative planning maps of various counties and districts in the UK. It is impossible that the owner of the room would be an enthusiast of the national conditions of the British Empire!
It nimblely jumped down from the bookcase and climbed to the other window. It was sunny outside, making it a good weather for preying.
Pulala!
A seabird fell curiously on the eaves beside the window, probably thinking that it was a fresh and delicious mobile buffet.
Most of the octopus compatriots who climb onto the land or are washed away by the tide when they are now hiking, will soon fall to the ground and become a delicacy for seabirds. The seabird stands very close and moves closer little by little.
(...but you obviously guessed it was wrong, you were the ones who were the main meal today.)
Several predatory tentacles bounced outwards, grabbing the seabird tightly at lightning speed. The tip of the tentacle with a suction cup released venom, quickly poisoning it to death, and then stuffed it into its mouth to serve as a free snack today.
It starts to move from the window to the first floor, and the cells on the body that look like nanocrystal structures feel the changes in light and begin to simulate the color of the wall.
In this way, even if people notice this, they will not see such a horrifying scene as an octopus moving on the wall.
"It seems that there are people living on the first floor, so it should be the little ghost's mother."
It heard the sound of TV downstairs, through the perception of tentacles, and the memories stolen from Drake's brain, and it knew it was Drake's mother.
She seems to have been sick all the time, in poor health, and often lie in bed.
At this moment, a sound of brakes came from a distance, and a beetle appeared outside the lawn of the house, and then a man wearing a baseball cap and acting rudely walked into the house.
After he entered the house, he rummaged through the cabinets and then started arguing with the woman on the hospital bed.
The reason for the quarrel should be related to money. According to Drake's memory, a man is his stepfather, and he is not a good thing. He likes to drink and gambling.
The couple often quarreled and had a very bad relationship. I don’t know how they got married at the beginning.
But if anyone gets Drake's stepfather, I'm afraid he can't afford it. In other words, he is such a bad man.
The man walked out of the house cursingly. He didn't get the money and his temper became worse.
When he drove the sports car, it slowly slid down while staying on the wall.
At this moment, a large dog with variegated hair rushed over and barked at it that was landing on the ground.
(This is a man named Xiansen, you have deep prejudice against our tentacle-shaped cephalogram!)
The big, mixed-haired dog seems to be just a little bitch, and it is even more happy.
"Shut up, Lauber, don't call again."
The owner of the dog next door was a middle-aged woman. She was still cooking lunch at home. When she heard the noise outside, she scolded her loudly.
The second haha was a little panicked. The hostess' majesty was not shaken. It whimpered a few times, but did not continue to scream, but instead grinned and made a low sound, as if it was intimidating itself.
It probably smelled the smell and chased after it, and found the little monster that invaded its own ground territory, of course it would not be easily let go.
Faced with Erha's intimidation, it was unmoved, but stretched out its thickest tentacle, and then opened its huge mouth like a cracked chrysanthemum petal from the front like a spore body, making a low hissing sound, and a large amount of corrosive venom dripped from its mouth.
This scared Erha. It whimpered and ran away from the lawn with its tail squeezing.
What a stupid dog!
This is its only rating now.

As the sun gradually sets westward, it seems like the contemplative ocean is silent and blood-red, and only a trace of embers are left.
Drake ran wildly on his bicycle, and behind him, Fatty Dark and his accomplices were chasing him all the way.
They moved towards the ruins of the ancient house of Naven Westin by the sea.
"Silly Drake, stop me, I'm going to break your legs, you dare to complain to the teacher."
Fatty Dark was furious, and Drake took the opportunity to slide into the ruins of the ancient house, but before he could ride out, a gust of stones hit like raindrops.
