Chapter 7: giant cocoon
The sky was bright, Xiao Yu woke up leisurely, and subconsciously rubbed the pillow next to his pillow.
By the time he realizes what a pillow is, it's too late, what to do, Cang Hai won't blame him for his hands and feet?
Relying on Cang Hai not being able to see, Xiao Yu pretended that he had just woken up: "Well, is it dawn?"
Cang Hai just smiled and said nothing, only those who just woke up are too lazy to talk, the little mermaid is a bit guilty.
But he did not expose Xiao Yu's poor acting skills: "Good morning."
Just as Xiao Yu was about to respond, he suddenly saw the strands of hair hanging from his ears, and he grabbed the ends along the hair: "Why did the hair grow back?"
Cang Hai removed the protective cover, the expression on his face did not change, in fact the doubts in his heart were no less than Xiao Yu's.
Mermaid hair is one of the tools for mermaids to explore the ocean, so mermaids are born with long hair, and even have the ability to extend their hair to serve as weapons.
He felt weird yesterday, how could the little mermaid want to cut off her hair.
Now it seems that Xiao Yu doesn't know this characteristic of a mermaid at all, so how did he spend his previous years?
This little guy has no fewer secrets than him.
Cang Hai asked blankly, "Do you need help?"
Xiao Yu scratched his head of black hair irritably. Although the hair grows fast and can make him get rid of the trouble of hair loss, it is really troublesome to trim it.
And he wasn't sure if it would grow back tomorrow after it was cut today.
He opened his mouth, originally wanted to ask about Cang Hai's hair, but then thought about it, wouldn't it expose his ignorance about mermaids?
Can't ask, can't ask.
"No, no need." Xiao Yu had no choice but to decline Cang Hai's kindness first, and he planned to recall the plot and find out if there is any description of the mermaid's habits in the original book.
Cang Hai had no choice but to say, "Then prepare for breakfast."
Xiao Yu obediently went to wash the dishes, his long hair fell to the water surface with his movements, making circles and ripples.
How about you tie your hair up?
After making up his mind, Xiao Yu raised his chin high, his long black hair fell naturally like a waterfall, he gathered the hair behind the ear with the palm of his hand, and wound it around a few times indiscriminately.
He'd never had long hair, never had it braided by anyone, and it was nice to have it done like this.
Ugly should be ugly, no one will see it anyway, you say it is, brother meal ticket?
Cang Hai naturally couldn't see Xiao Yu's hair, but he could make a judgment based on the voice he heard: "Hair loose?"
Xiao Yu's ears felt hot, he trotted a few steps with the bowl and chopsticks in his arms, never thought that the hair he just tied would be beaten back to its original shape.
He also wanted to speak hard: "Maybe the hair has its own thoughts, and I will teach it a lesson."
Cang Hai smiled: "Come here, I'll help you."
Xiao Yu seldom saw Cang Hai smile, most of the time, Cang Hai's face was expressionless, so even though he was handsome enough, in Xiao Yu's eyes, he was a bit less fresh, and those pair of eyes that were rarely opened His eyes made him exude a lifeless aura.
As a result, when that faint smile appeared at the corner of Cang Hai's mouth, Xiao Yu's eyes were about to look straight.
Like the finishing touch, it makes a man's impeccable appearance more attractive and invincible.
When he came back to his senses, Xiao Yu was already sitting beside Cang Hai, letting him tie his hair.
The hair-tying tool is also very familiar, it is the bamboo chopsticks he just washed.
Cang Hai's movements are very skillful, within half a moment, he gathered his hair into a docile way.
Xiao Yu took a photo of the reflection in the water, and couldn't help sighing: "This is too powerful, Cang Hai, have you practiced it?"
"I have a pet at home with very long hair. If I don't take care of it, it will turn into a fur ball." Cang Hai's tone was slightly disgusted, but it could be heard that he liked this pet very much, otherwise he wouldn't bother groom it's hair.
Speaking of long-haired pets, Xiao Yu remembered that in "The Strongest Interstellar Military Academy", the final villain boss Ji Canghai also had a white long-haired pet named Oga.
The reason why Ji Canghai raises Oga is because it has the unique ability to absorb dark matter and convert dark matter into usable energy.
In the final battle, the male patron Gu Xijiao took advantage of this characteristic of Oga, and fed Oga a piece of food with unstable dark matter, which then caused the dark matter in Oga to riot.
Oga blew himself up, Ji Canghai was also seriously injured, and Gu Xijiao picked up a big leak.
From then on, the male protagonist stepped on the corpse of the villain's big boss and became an object of adoration by the entire Federation. Afterwards, he took the chief position step by step.
Think too far.
Xiao Yu was eating the sliced meat in the pot, the content in the book was of no help to him now, he should put all his thoughts on survival.
"Cang Hai, how much meat is left?" He asked.
Cang Hai: "It's enough for a day."
Xiao Yu hummed, thinking about where to get some food reserves.
In the past two days, I don't know if Cang Hai's aura is too strong. They didn't encounter any aggressive beasts along the way, so no new food was put into storage.
You have to find a way to lure the snake out of the hole.
"How about I come as a bait?" Xiao Yu is very clear about his position, what Cang Hai can't do, he has the obligation to do.
Cang Hai shook his head: "No need."
As he spoke, he threw the jelly beans into the sea, and then took off his clothes, revealing his naked muscles, holding the long sword tightly in his hand, ready to go hunting in the sea at any time.
The jelly beans melted in water, and the colorful pigments mixed into a rainbow falling into the sea, wandering on the sparkling sea.
Only then did Xiao Yu understand why Cang Hai had eaten all the food, but still kept jelly beans that could replenish calories.
He held his breath, for fear of disturbing Cang Hai's hunting, he didn't dare to move.
"Here we come." Cang Hai reminded in a deep voice, "Protect yourself."
Xiao Yu nodded, then remembered that Cang Hai couldn't see it, and was about to open his mouth to make amends. At this time, the sea not far away set off a huge wave, rushing towards them.
This scene is so familiar.
Didn't the ship he was on also disintegrate under the attack of the violent waves, and finally caused him to fall into the deep sea?
There seemed to be people's desperate and hysterical calls for help in his ears. He nervously clutched his arm, which had been scratched by the photo frame on the ship.
The huge waves splashed thousands of layers of water, which drenched Xiao Yu who was in a daze.
Only then was he freed from the near-death nightmare, and he lowered his head and tore off his soaked clothes, secretly annoyed.
Cang Hai borrowed the clothes, how can I return them when they are all wet.
By the way, how is Cang Hai?
Xiao Yu couldn't care less about his clothes. No matter how important clothes are, can they be more important than his meal ticket elder brother?
He looked around, looking for traces of Cang Hai.
But after the huge wave passed, the sea returned to its previous calm, and even the rainbow was swallowed by the huge wave, as if nothing had happened.
Xiao Yu, who has stumbled in this sea area, will not be easily fooled.
In this seemingly calm sea, in fact, the dark tide and life-and-death game inside are far more intense than a death fight in Balongjiao.
Time passed by every minute and every second, even though Xiao Yu had no doubts about Cang Hai's strength, such a long time was enough to turn his self-confidence into worry.
Cang Hai is human, it is impossible for him to hold his breath in the sea for too long.
Sea water has buoyancy, and Cang Hai's combat effectiveness in sea water must be compromised. The last time they fought against the black-striped octopus, they were the ones who lured the black-striped octopus ashore to repel the opponent.
No, he had to go into the water to have a look.
Xiao Yu no longer hesitated, and jumped into the sea.
As for danger?
If Cang Hai died, he would have no chance of surviving. He would either be swallowed by strange beasts, starve to death, or perish with Desolate Star.
Either way, it was not the result he wanted.
Rather than dying so uselessly, it would be better to advance and retreat with Cang Hai, live and die together.
Xiao Yu, who looked at death like home, was almost moved to tears by himself, how could Cang Hai meet such a teammate who valued love and righteousness like him.
Canghai's battlefield is easier to find than imagined, Xiao Yu looked at the familiar black tentacles, and couldn't help but think of its deliciousness after being cooked.
At the same time, he also saw a huge cocoon entangled by black tentacles. If nothing else happened, Cang Hai must be inside.
Cang Hai once told him that the tentacles of the black octopus are highly poisonous and will inject neurotoxins into the prey.
Could it be that Cang Hai was trapped in the giant black beard cocoon because he didn't check the Tao for a while and was poisoned?
Xiao Yu didn't attack rashly, with his strength in fighting the five slags, even if he wins, he can only be a snack for the black bearded octopus.
He needs to figure out what Cang Hai wants to do.
With Cang Hai's strength, it is impossible for the tentacles of the black-bearded octopus to approach him. Even if the sea water binds the long sword, he must have a way to return to the shore instead of being trapped in a giant cocoon like this.
Unless, Cang Hai is planning something.
Xiao Yu cautiously approached the giant cocoon, perhaps because of his existence, the black-bearded octopus did not pose a threat at all, or it might be that Cang Hai was too strong, and the black-bearded octopus had to concentrate on dealing with him.
In short, he was not attacked by the black octopus, at least for now, he is safe.
So he set his sights on the giant black cocoon.
The surface of the giant cocoon is constantly wriggling tentacles, which is undoubtedly a spiritual crit for intensive phobias. Fortunately, although Xiao Yu feels disgusting, he can still insist on observing.
This observation made him realize something was wrong.
He still remembered that when he was attacked by the black-bearded octopus, the tentacle wrapped around him tightly, tearing off his scales and flesh.
In other words, the attack of the tentacles must be close to the skin to be effective.
Then there is absolutely no need to wrap such a huge cocoon, leaving such a large space inside, is it because you are worried that Cang Hai will not be able to turn around?
Xiao Yu guessed that the reason why the tentacles bluffed into huge cocoons and blocked all Cang Hai's escape routes was because they couldn't approach Cang Hai's body at all. Cang Hai's long sword is not a vegetarian, no matter how many tentacles the black-bearded octopus has, it cannot withstand such wear and tear.
It probably wants to use this method to drag Cang Hai to death!
Since the tentacles are vulnerable, why did Cang Hai voluntarily be bound by the giant cocoon?
There is only one reason, he is looking for an opportunity, a chance to kill with one blow.
But the waiting time is too long, if this continues, Cang Hai will be drowned before he finds a chance!
