Chapter 315: The Ninth Mission - The End of the Cthulhu 13
Mo Yiyi is powerful. She is indeed at a low level, but this does not mean that she is not strong in combat!
Mo Yiyi's fighting power comes from her treasures.
Regardless of anything else, the piles of sword talismans alone were enough for her to walk sideways many times!
It was easy for her to deal with those adult stone octopuses at the bottom of the sea. She didn't even need to use the sword talisman of the divine transformation stage. The golden elixir stage sword talisman was enough to kill these stone octopuses instantly.
But can she do this?
Mo Yiyi felt that she could.
The world of cultivation is a place where the weak eat the strong. The strong make the rules and uphold the rules. The weak have no room to refute!
But, she didn't.
The world operates with its own rules and regulations.
The law of the weak is the rule, the rule is respecting the old and caring for the young, the rule is the rule of living together with the same virtue, and the rule is cannibalizing each other.
She felt that it was not worth sacrificing the lives of countless baby stone octopuses to extend the lifespan of those adult stone octopuses.
But in fact, as a member of the cultivation world, Mo Yiyi thought of more things than she thought at the moment she made the decision.
Yes, she can change the fate of these little stone octopuses, kill the adult stone octopuses, and then save these little stone octopuses.
Based on the number ratio, it is not worth it to let the adult stone octopuses devour the small stone octopuses.
But the fact is that if a group wants to have a foothold in a dangerous place like the ocean, it must have enough strong people.
This safe sea area belonging to the Stone Octopus was not given to the Stone Octopus Clan by other sea tribes. This sea area was snatched by the Stone Octopus Clan relying on their own strength!
Yes, the ocean is boundless, but the further away from the continent, the more dangerous the ocean is. Unless it is absolutely necessary, who is willing to live in such a dangerous environment?
How many stone octopuses live in this territory belonging to the stone octopus? Mo Yiyi doesn't know, but there are definitely a lot of them.
The fact that so many stone octopuses can survive smoothly and reproduce stably must be attributed to the strong members of the clan.
And these strong men are not immortal. The clan needs fresh strong blood. However, the disadvantage of the Stone Octopus clan is that they cannot breed strong men with their short life span.
Yes, she can kill the adult stone octopuses outside, but this is not help but destruction.
Compared with the large number of young stone octopuses that were just born.
Compared with the adult stone octopus that has successfully survived to adulthood, and has even lived for a long time and has accumulated some strength, the death of the small stone octopus seems not that important...
At this moment, many things flashed through Mo Yiyi's mind.
These things were very different from the morals and concepts she usually came into contact with. The seabed and the mainland were like two different worlds. She instantly understood and even understood the survival rules of these stone octopuses, but at the same time, this understanding made Mo Yiyi feel like she was stuck in her throat. She wanted to
The desire to kill is ready!
Fortunately, in the end, she didn't do that.
When Mo Yiyi was dug out again, the group of adult stone octopuses had left. She was dug out by a small stone octopus. The little stone octopus opened its big eyes and curiously looked at the wilted little white ball inside.
He tilted his head in confusion.
"Lita, what are you doing? Come quickly and follow dad, we are moving."
Rita heard his father's call and quickly followed him with his eight legs. As he approached, a child wanted to touch the ball in his hand, but he dodged it.
The more Lita refused to let them touch it, the more these children wanted to touch it. Now these children started playing the game of chasing each other again.
The big stone octopus was a little helpless and quickly called to its mother.
"Eva! Come here quickly, I can't control them anymore!"
The male stone octopus began to call for his mate. Although Mo Yiyi was still looking listless in clothes after being snatched away by children, she was also curious about what the mother of these little stone octopuses looked like.
"Come on honey, I'm packing our gifts."
The last step of the magic circle was completed, and a lot of items stored in the magic circle were packed into a small square, and Eva put a rope through it and hung it around her neck.
She put away the crude homemade carving knife and walked over waving her stronger lower legs.
This is a female stone octopus with very well-developed tentacles on her lower body.
The male stone octopus that brought Mo Yiyi back has pink lower legs, and most of these children also have pink lower legs.
But this female stone octopus is different.
Her lower feet are black, and the black lesions have the color of a blue ring!
Moreover, her lower legs are very developed and strong. Although her upper body has a normal human shape and is even smaller than the male stone octopus, but including the lower legs, she is more than three times taller than the male stone octopus!
Especially the length of the lower legs is more than half the length of the male stone octopus!
This female stone octopus was obviously more prestigious than the male stone octopus. Once she came over, the children who were fighting for Mo Yiyi no longer dared to make trouble.
The female stone octopus glanced around the group of children, and finally her eyes fell on Mo Yiyi. She made a move with her hand, originally wanting to take a picture of Mo Yiyi, but she didn't expect that it would be useless!
The shield outside Mo Yiyi is not a decoration, it is a protection blessed by a serious eighth-grade magic circle.
Even though Mo Yiyi was being thrown around and didn't take the magic circle seriously, the actual result was that, firstly, Mo Yiyi did not activate the magic circle for active defense, and secondly, Mo Yiyi's current body was too light.
It is too small, and the range protected by the protective cover is reduced to the size of a ball, which results in this result.
But if you see that it has become smaller and you don’t treat it as a dish, that’s not okay.
The female stone octopus was a little confused when she raised her hand but failed to take a picture of Mo Yiyi's ball.
This female stone octopus is a golden elixir stage stone octopus.
It's strange to say, but logically speaking, the higher the realm, the harder it is for a being to have heirs. This is an iron rule on the mainland.
But this rule seems to be invalid when it comes to the sea tribe. No matter what realm they are, they will give birth to a large number of offspring during the breeding season. Only a few sea tribes, such as the whale mirage, will only give birth to one or two at a time.
There are very few.
Most of the sea tribes are like stone octopus, which can produce a lot at one time. In an extremely safe environment, they can quickly expand the group to an incredible level.
But it is a pity that even if these sea tribes are so capable of reproducing, the overlord of the sea in the end is still not them but sea monsters. And no matter how they regenerate, the number of sea tribes has been very stable and has not seen an increase. On the contrary, it is often heard that
News that a certain tribe in the sea has disappeared.
Seeing that she couldn't capture Mo Yiyi, the female stone octopus didn't force herself, and finally opened her mouth.
"Bring that thing over and show it to me."
The little stone octopus holding Mo Yiyi looked a little reluctant, but in the end he still held Mo Yiyi obediently and came to his mother.
The female stone octopus picked up Mo Yiyi with one hand and raised it in front of her to look at it carefully. Such a serious look actually made the male stone octopus a little uneasy.
"Eva, I picked this up for the children to play with. Is there anything wrong with her?"
Eva pondered for a moment, then stretched out one lower foot and tapped the protective shield lightly with her toe.
A purple halo bloomed from the protective shield in circles, and finally enveloped it, leaving the originally transparent protective shield covered with a lavender halo.
This looks pretty good, but actually the purple color is Eva’s own poison, and it’s extremely poisonous!
Seeing that this amount of poison was useless, Eva fired it seven more times, completely dyeing the protective shield a rich purple.
This is still useless. Mo Yiyi is fine in the protective shield, and none of the poison has penetrated into the protective shield.
Eva thought this thing was interesting, so she tried hard to break it.
However, with her strength at the Golden Core stage, she was still unable to shake this protective shield, so after trying three times, she finally gave up.
After taking back the poison on it, Eva gave the ball to her child again.
"Let's play with it. This should be a sealed land creature. It's not dangerous."
The child didn't understand, but he was very happy that his mother returned the ball to him, so he lifted Mo Yiyi above his head and ran away quickly.
The male stone octopus looked worried at Mo Yiyi. When the child ran back to the group of children and a group of children started fighting over each other again, he asked Eva in a worried voice.
"Is it really okay? Things that will be sealed should be dangerous existences, for example, things like evil gods."
Eva was very calm.
"The seal of that thing is very strong, even I can't break it at all, and I don't feel anything bad on that seal. The inside and outside are completely separated. This thing can't be broken from the outside, and it can't be broken from the inside.
That little thing can't come out from the inside... It may have been made by some powerful person who was idle and bored. Maybe that powerful person also had a child that needed to be teased."
Eva smiled as she spoke, reached out and patted the male stone octopus, and then continued to prepare for the move.
The male stone octopus felt a little relieved when Eva said this.
But seeing the children making a fuss again, he angrily thrust his waist into his arms again.
"That's enough! Stop making trouble! Come over here and line up quickly!"
But it was obvious that the male stone octopus did not have enough prestige among the children. He told them twice, but these children were still robbing Mo Yiyi to play.
In the end, the naughty child's disobedience finally angered the good-tempered male stone octopus. The ball that the children were fighting for was confiscated. Although the children wanted to get the ball back from their father, their father was too important to them.
Very powerful people, they have no way to resist their father's decision.
The children finally became obedient, and the male stone octopus was able to count them all before Eva finished packing the things at home.
After being noisy for a while, the family was finally on their way.
The stone octopus parents protect the little stone octopus in the middle. Any little stone octopus that falls behind will be scolded by the stone octopus parents.
However, even if the small stone octopuses are very cooperative, their physical strength cannot cope with the long migration.
But the nest they were in before is no longer safe. If they don't leave the area as soon as possible, more stone octopuses are likely to come in the future!
If that time comes, they won't even have a place to hide!
Therefore, the parents of the stone octopus were very insistent, even if their children were cheating, it was useless. It was not until these children were really exhausted that the parents of the stone octopus took out a net and put all the children in it.
The children in the net were very uncomfortable. They tried to struggle out, but it was no use. They were exhausted!
Perhaps seeing that the children huddled in a pile were really pitiful, the male stone octopus threw Mo Yiyi back into the pile of children before sealing the mouth.
The moment she was thrown down, Noila Mo was overwhelmed by the many entangled legs, and the child seemed to have regained her energy instantly.
The male stone octopus couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene. He stretched out his hands and touched the squirming lower legs one by one, as if to comfort and as if to thank him, and then sealed the mouth of the net bag!
The male stone octopus dragged the children swimming in the sea alone, while Eva was nearby to guard and survey the situation ahead.
The Stone Octopus family migrated for seven days in total. It was not until the eighth day that the net bag could no longer hold so many children that they found a reasonably suitable place to stay.
The children of Stone Octopus grow so fast. In just seven days, these children have grown a lot taller. The child that grows the slowest has grown nearly as tall as a head.
These children are full of energy and can play noisily and happily all day long.
But during the migration, the children were very tired. They were either put in a net bag by their father and dragged around, or they went out on their own.
The male stone octopus also has limited physical strength and cannot always swim with the baby stone octopus, so most of the time, the baby stone octopus swims by itself.
This was a real hardship for these little stone octopuses. They didn't even have a chance to be lazy. This also meant that Mo Yiyi, the toy that the little stone octopus liked very much, was almost always in Eva's hands during the rest of the trip.
Eva was responsible for guarding and exploring the road and obtaining food. Mo Yiyi was led by Eva, and she got to see the hunting method of stone octopus.
The speed of the stone octopus is not very fast. Even the speed of the golden elixir stage stone octopus has not improved much.
Therefore, the hunting method of stone octopus is more inclined to ambush.
Maybe Mo Yiyi's current appearance is really in line with the stone octopus's preferences. Eva also likes to play with her when no one is around.
Eva likes to wrap Noila Mo tightly with her lower legs, and then spin around in all directions in the sea water.
At this time, Eva was like a large roly-poly, her thick lower limbs twisted into a ball, and she looked a little funny as she staggered around.
But she liked this game very much, but it was dangerous to do so. Her lower legs would become more clumsy when her lower legs were completely tangled together, so she only played this game once behind her back, and then she stopped playing.
Because it was an ambush-style hunt, and they were on the road, they had no time to pick out their prey, so they could only eat what they encountered.
Under such circumstances, this family of stone octopuses quickly lost weight.
Fortunately, they have now found a new nest and can stay here to recuperate for the time being!
The place Eva found was the skeleton of a cetacean sea creature.
Cetacean sea beasts have always been synonymous with hugeness in the ocean, and this skeleton is no exception.
The skeleton of this cetacean and sea creature has been dead for who knows how long. It has turned into white bones. As long as it is simply cleaned up, it will be a good nest location.
Eva went outside to look for food, while the male octopus took his children at home to prepare a new nest.
The male stone octopus seems to be very enthusiastic and quickly tidied up its new nest.
In order to hide, the stone octopus only cleaned the inside of the skull of the cetacean sea beast where the family rested, drove out all the dirt and the weak sea beasts hidden inside, and then began to decorate the outside.
Such a bare skeleton is not convenient for the little stone octopus to hide. Especially when the little stone octopus has grown a lot, it needs more space to hide. The male stone octopus needs to find more bunkers.
Mo Yiyi was taken by Eva, so she didn't know what the male stone octopus was doing at home. She saw the whole process of the stone octopus hugging a big-headed fish up close.
Mo Yiyi didn't recognize the big-headed fish, but it was really big. Eva couldn't wrap up its entire head even if she pounced on it!
The fish was obviously frightened after Eva hugged its face, and then it swung its tail without shaking Eva off its face.
Mo Yiyi, who was so shaken, didn't understand why Eva didn't kill the big-headed fish directly, but let it shake until everyone was dizzy.
Then, something happened that surprised Mo Yiyi.
After this big-headed fish found that he couldn't get rid of Eva, he surprisingly cut off his tail to survive!
Before, Mo Yiyi felt that the head of this big-headed fish was abnormally large and felt very inconsistent with the body.
Now that the body, which was much smaller than the head, fell off, Mo Yiyi understood why!
Mo Yiyi leaned on the protective shield to look at the big-headed fish that swam away.
After the big-headed fish abandoned its body, Eva let it go and it ran away quickly.
This also allowed Mo Yiyi to see the part of its body that was disconnected.
Unlike the blur of flesh and blood that Mo Yiyi imagined, the piece of fish skin that cut off the fish's body shrank very tightly, directly covering the wound caused by its broken tail.
The big-headed fish has very large fins on both sides of its head, like two big fans. It usually relies on these two fins instead of its body for swimming, which makes it look somewhat funny.
After Eva got the food, she went back with the food. After arriving home, the family had a short chat and then started eating.
The fish was so big that it was enough for their family to have a meal.
While these stone octopuses were eating, Mo Yiyi was watching from the side, and doubts arose in her heart again as she watched them.
The severed fish body was entirely meat, with no internal organs, not even a cavity to hold the internal organs.
The big head of the big fish flashed through Mo Yiyi's mind again, as well as the funny scene of her finally swimming away.
So that strange fish has not only the two fins at the front that swim, but also the internal organs and other things that grow in the big head, right?
If this is true, why does this big fish have to grow? Is it specifically to provide food for other creatures?
Noila Mo was speechless by her own thoughts, but no one could explain her confusion now.
After the family had eaten all the bones from the body of the fish, Eva went out to hunt again.
But this time, she did not take Noila Mo with her, but left Mo Yiyi at home.
Then Mo Yiyi was held in the arms of a child. She watched the male stone octopus patiently take care of the children's bodies and remove the dirt on them. After finishing, he counted the children again to confirm that none of them were there.
After a while, he continued to work on his business.
This is a good father, Mo Yiyi thought.
There are more than 40 children, and they are all a group of energetic children. It is indeed very rare that this male stone octopus can be so patient and remember the names of all the children.
Mo Yiyi saw Xiong Shi Octopus decorating this home like a hard-working little bee, getting things like corals, seaweeds, sea stones, and fine sand from afar to make shelters. Seeing how busy he was, Mo Yiyi
The image of the two children being taken away reappeared in my mind again.
Although she had not counted how many children there were before, the decrease in children was visible to the naked eye.
The stone octopus parents work so hard just to raise these children.
But no matter how careful they are, it's no use, the number of children is still decreasing.
Fortunately, they may have adapted to this situation, so they are not sad when the number of children decreases, and they are still busy.
Originally, Mo Yiyi thought that the family would spend their days in such busyness, but an accident happened.
It was obviously dinner time, but Eva, who went out hunting, did not come back.
The male stone octopus looked a little worried. He was no longer busy decorating his home. Instead, he stood on the tallest bone head and carefully felt the smell of the sea water.
The male stone octopus waited until the second meal arrived, but Eva still didn't come back, but the children were already hungry and couldn't stand it anymore.
The male stone octopus had no choice but to use the food stored at home to feed these children.
It can be seen from the children's expressions that the taste of these stored grains is not good.
But the little stone octopuses grow too fast. It is precisely because they grow so fast that they become increasingly unable to endure hunger.
They need to eat constantly to replenish the energy they need for growth!
It's just that the family doesn't have much food storage like this. They can only eat one more meal at most. After eating, the family will be out of food!
Now, not only the male stone octopus was anxious, but even the children began to become anxious.
Mo Yiyi was held in their arms, listening to the slightly horrifying remarks of these children.
"Will something happen to mom? Will dad eat us?"
"Mom hasn't come back for so long. Will she abandon us?"
"Mom will never abandon us. If she doesn't like us anymore, she will eat us directly."
"Yes, mom won't just run away. That would be too wasteful. We still have so many, and we are not too big yet. Mom and dad can live for a long time after eating us!"
"Hmm, so when will mom come back? If we don't come back, dad will eat us."
