Big octopus in the deep sea: I can evolve infinitely

Chapter 5 Meals and the Soul

"Is this the world behind the gray round hole?"

Su Hao opened his stone-gray eyes, with narrow pupils, and turned slightly, taking in the surrounding scenery into his eyes.

in his sight,

The world in front of me is a vast expanse of whiteness.

endless white,
Construct the basic tone of this world.

And on white,

a touch of gold,
Hanging high in the air.

"gold?"

Su Hao rolled his eyes upwards, staring at the golden color.

As an octopus, he can theoretically only see two colors, black and white.

But he sees gray first now,
Gold again.

This... Either my eyes are abnormal, or these two things with strange colors are abnormal,

He personally leans towards the latter.

The moment he rolled his eyes and caught sight of gold,

In his heart, there was a strong desire for that touch of gold, just like a person who has been hungry for ten days and ten nights and suddenly sees a full meal, wishing to rush up and swallow this touch of gold in his stomach immediately. He had a premonition that as long as he swallowed that touch of gold, he could immediately evolve to a new height, but at the same time, another instinct of his body was crazily warning him, driving him to stay away from that touch of gold, the farther he got, the more it is good.

Between longing and the instinct to stay away.

Su Hao chose the back without any hesitation.

He plunged into the sea and sank frantically to the deep sea.

As he sinks,

The warning signs on the body gradually weakened,

But Su Hao didn't relax his vigilance at all.

His eight tentacles are wrapped around his body, reducing the force-receiving area, and at the same time, he opens his mouth and pours seawater into his stomach to increase his weight. Under such manipulation, he is like a piece of iron, In the way of vertical fall, it sank straight to the bottom of the sea.

Su Hao didn't stop until he sank into the deep sea, until the world in front of him became a pure black field of vision, without any whiteness, until his body's instincts stopped warning him.
"What was that golden touch just now?"

Why do I desire so much, but fear so much?
Su Hao thought about it for a while, and stopped thinking about such meaningless questions that he obviously couldn't come up with.

He glanced at the dark shadows swimming around.

open your tentacles,
stretched over.

then,

He ate big chunks on the bottom of the sea.

……

And when Su Hao was hiding in the bottom of the sea, eating big chunks of food.

"Whoa..."

The wooden oars slapped the river surface, pushing the boat forward, while a middle-aged man standing on the bow stretched out his hand and pushed aside the branches and leaves protruding from both sides.

The warm sunlight penetrated through the gaps in the dense branches and leaves, and fell on the river, reflecting the dark green color.

They don't know what words to use to describe the smell in the air.

"How long will it take for us to reach Old Gul's hut?" said the young man sitting behind the boat and rowing.

They are the Sea People of Iberia.

And they're going,
It was the hut of Uganda Gul.

In general.

They sea folk would not come near this hut.

In addition to being remote, damp and dark, surrounded by many bugs and weird trees and creatures, which makes people feel scalp numb, it is also because of the price.

Ugja-Old Gul venerates the oldest principles of sacrifice in the entire world.

If you want to get something from him, you have to pay something equivalent.

And this thing.

Often comes from themselves.

"Hurry up, just make another turn." The middle-aged man standing at the bow said.

Hearing this, the young man immediately increased his strength.

quickly,

They just turned a corner.

I saw a strange big tree growing from one side of the river to the other in a curved posture.

And on the tree of the big tree,
A hut stands.

Seeing this hut, the young man immediately realized that he had arrived. Holding the handle of the oar, he slowly rowed the boat and moved towards the hut.

After the boat approaches,
Immediately he threw the rope around the trunk and secured his boat, and they both left the boat, climbed up the tree, went to the door of the hut, and pushed it open.

They just opened the door a little,
A damp, cold breath gushed out from inside, making people feel uncomfortable,
And as the door was completely pushed open.

The display inside is also revealed to everyone.

The hut is not big, very small, the walls are covered with bones, heads and masks of various unknown animals, and under the wall is a rectangular table, on which are randomly placed dark green potions on the stove and Eyeballs, toes and unknown powder on both sides.

Seeing this weird assembly in the house,

The two visitors felt a wave of fear at the same time.

Just at this time,
"Squeak-"

A monkey as thin as a skeleton jumped out from a room further inside the hut,

It stepped on the animal heads hanging on the wall, came to the two visitors, and looked curiously at the two two-legged beasts that were the same as its master.

After it comes out,

A very old man with his back bent came out of it holding a bright red fruit.

"Are you here for the death of old Moji and Neil?" Old Gul asked when he saw them.

"Old Moggie and Neil are dead?"

The two were stunned at the same time.

Then they all shook their heads again.

Although they were surprised that old Moggy and Neil, who hadn't come back for a long time, died instead of getting lost at sea, they didn't feel sad about the death of old Moggy and Neil.

The seaman went fishing but died in the sea and was buried in the belly of the fish.

It was a very normal thing.

No need to be sad about it.

"We came here for the fish..." The middle-aged man talked about his reason for coming.

Originally, the sea dwellers of their Iberian Island fished all the year round, went to sea every year and every month, regardless of autumn and winter, and even lived longer on wooden boats than on Iberian Island.

As good fishers all the year round, every time they went to sea in the past, they were able to return with a full reward.

But recently, I don't know what happened,
The Sea of ​​Agor, which was supposed to be filled with countless fish, suddenly had no fish, so they had to go fishing in farther sea areas. Now even the fish in farther sea areas and sea areas are decreasing, or even extinct. , which made them panic.

As a seaman who lives by fishing, there are no more fish in the sea,
In this world, is there anything more terrifying than this?
After listening to the middle-aged man's narration, Old Gur nodded, and then said, "Eyes."

finished,

He added, "Left eye."

left eye?

The young man froze for a moment.

But he was dumbfounded, the middle-aged man was not, he stretched his hand up, grabbed the left eye, and snapped the eyeball out of it abruptly.

Then, while pressing his eye sockets with his hand, he spread his other hand,

Showing the fresh eyeball in the palm.

Seeing this scene, the young man was shocked and at a loss, but the old Gul threw the fruit in his hand to the monkey, then stretched out his right hand, picked up the eyeball from the middle-aged man's hand, and stuffed it into his mouth. He recited complicated and obscure words, and his body shook randomly like a convulsion.

After a while,

he stopped
"The elf of the sea told me that it was a sea monster, a huge sea monster that entered the waters near our Iberian island."

"All the fish were either eaten by it or escaped."
