Above the mainland.

A group of researchers in the Doom Lab are having a meeting in a conference room.

The lead researcher is a brown-haired young man wearing black-rimmed glasses. He is showing the data analysis results to the rest.

"Earthquakes, large and small, occur every day in the ocean."

After reading the analysis of the Brown Hair Research Institute, a certain researcher felt that he was making a complete fuss.

"Muran, this doesn't mean that the sea monster is here."

The youth called Mougins:

"We found the egg shell fragments of a certain creature in the nearby sea water."

The image changed a few times, and under the gaze of the researchers, it turned into a white egg shell.

If Lance was still here, he would definitely recognize it at a glance—

Isn't this his eggshell?

"According to the known data, this is the egg shell of a new type of organism. The good news is that we only found one."

Mourin said, "But the bad news is that the guy in the Nate Trench, he woke up, and was near the shallow sea."

All the researchers couldn't help taking a breath.

In 487 AD, at the end of the world, the ocean, which has always allowed mankind to do whatever they want, launched an attack on mankind.

The sea monster in the deep sea wakes up from the abyss and reads judgment on mankind.

After so many years, the surviving humans have reached a delicate balance with the ocean, and now, humans are carefully maintaining this fragile balance.

However, the guy who woke up in the Nate Trench might easily break this balance.

"Then, since it wakes up, then, do you know what is inside that special sea monster?"

A new researcher asked.

Mou Ran sighed and said:

"Although most of the known sea monsters have evolved from existing creatures in the sea, the one in that particular sea monster is different."

No one knows the true face of the sea monster inside that special sea monster.

The research institute once sent a machine to test, and the only conclusion reached was that the shape of the thing was not fixed, it was a mass of indescribable matter.

The only good news is that that thing has been asleep most of the time and is not interested in invading the continent.

"In most cases, he appears with the appearance of tentacles."

Mourin showed a huge black hole on the ground in the shallow sea, and said,

"This is the trace he made."

But why did that thing suddenly wake up from the deep sea and come to the shallow sea area?

Everyone was puzzled, and the only suggestion was to send personnel to do a field trip to see if they could find any clues.

"I have already thought about the candidate this time."

Mourin,

"Let Colonel Wen Yu go with his team."

Hearing this name, everyone was shocked:

"Colon Wen Yu? Isn't he... up to this task?"

"Maybe."

Mou Ran's answer was very cold, "Who knows?"

Hearing this answer, some researchers sighed.

It seems that some people want Colonel Wen Yu to die.

…

Lance didn't even know that his birthplace was shown to a group of people.

He was only in distress now, how could he quickly dig the escape route under the cover of that group of fleshy arms and legs.

He has been digging for a long time.

Even the flesh and arms have been changed several times, but the escape route has not been dug.

Yes, the cleanliness "octopus" thought that Lance liked to eat meaty arms and legs. In order to better feed Lance, it would throw fresh processed meaty arms and legs into the coral bones every day.

What Lance needs to do is to go forward quickly while the tentacle is not there, replace the old fleshy cuffs with fresh ones, and then wait for the tentacles to take the old fleshy cuffs away.

All in all, Lance hasn't revealed anything.

Sometimes, Lance would still think maliciously, every day he is fed a piece of meaty arm and foot, is that if he has a bigger appetite, after a month, the "octopus" outside will cut all of himself into slices. , Feed him.

Suddenly a little pity tentacle, what should I do?

During this time, Lance has been pretending to be obedient.

After having been in contact with the tentacle for a long time, Lance discovered that this tentacle seemed to be particularly indulgent to himself.

Lance's previous actions caused a certain misunderstanding of the tentacle.

In the eyes of the tentacle, doesn't Lance "like" throwing pearls with the tentacle?

The next day, the tentacle brought a dozen large pearls to Lance. The smallest fist was as big and the biggest pearl was purple and the size of a basketball.

In this regard, Lance can only pretend to be extremely happy, collect the pearls in front of the tentacle, and then take out a pearl to play with the tentacle.

In fact, after the tentacles left, Lance sat in a pile of pearls with a stinky face, and he hated again why this is not land.

If he is still a human being, he can become a millionaire by just taking a pearl ashore.

Of course, this is just thinking about it.

After hiding with the tentacle peekaboo several times, Lance probably figured out the tentacle's movement patterns.

He found that every time before the tentacles appeared, there would be a certain call-up—

When the sea above his head darkened a bit, about five minutes later, the tentacles would reach into the coral bones.

And the time interval for each tentacle to visit Lance, according to Lance's own estimation, should be one day.

Today Lance pushed away the arms and legs as usual, and then began to dig coral bones.

The problem he encountered now is exactly the same as the previous one, the more difficult it is to dig into the outer layer.

Lance is very difficult to dig with his hands now. One of his hands hurts yesterday, but he didn't plan to rest, as it is today.

There was almost darkness in the small cave. Even if Lance brought in the fluorescent pearl, he couldn't see clearly, so he could only dig coral bones according to his instinct.

"Gaden"

There was a crisp sound, followed by pain in the heart of the fingertips.

Lance froze for a moment, then he smelled blood.

Shouldn't...

Lance quickly came out of the dug cave, and when he looked at it with a slightly brighter light outside, it hurt so much that tears came out.

His fingernails were split, and his fingertips were bleeding.

Ten fingers connected to the heart, even if Lance was a man, he couldn't bear to chop five nails.

He was so painful that he couldn't help his tears, and it was amazing that the tears that flowed from Lance's eye sockets, after flowing out, really turned into pearls, and slowly slipped down.

However, Lance didn't have that thought now, and went to see the tears falling into tears.

However, Lance was even more surprised that the mermaid's self-healing ability was beyond his imagination. The wounds on his fingertips were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Is this a good thing?

For Lance now, it's not a good thing.

The position of his nails was shifted, and his self-healing speed was so fast that Lance could not pull out the crooked nails, and the nails were stuck in the flesh and grew.

This makes Lance very painful.

Lance tried to remove the crooked nails, but he couldn't remove it because of his own reasons.

So Lance could only sit on the spot collapsed, with both hands on the tail of the fish, crying like a child.

After a while, the sea sand beside Lance was covered with tiny white pearls.

And Lance cried for a while, when the tentacles came.

As soon as the tentacles entered the coral bones, he saw Lance sitting on the sea sand crying, and the ground was full of little pearls he cried out, and he was shocked.

Lance opened a pair of teary and hazy eyes, watching that tentacle turn around anxiously, almost tied a knot by himself.

He blinked and couldn't help but laughed out "pouch".

This smile finally interrupted the crying.

When the tentacle saw Lance no longer crying, it also seemed to be relieved, and then slowly approached Lance under Lance's gaze.

Lance glanced at the end of the tentacle, he thought about it, and showed his injured hand toward the end.

He had heard that some marine creatures had eyes on their tentacles, so he guessed that the "octopus" in front of him should also be able to "see" his wounds.

The tentacle didn't expect Lance to take the initiative to touch it, its entire tentacle stiffened a bit, and then it slowly touched Lance's hand with its tiny tail.

When the tentacle touched Lance's nails, Lance screamed in pain, and the tentacle also understood where Lance's pain came from, it stopped.

Lance:?

He suddenly felt a little guilty.

Could it be, did it think of anything?

Fortunately, the tentacle didn't care about it. It circled the end and tentatively touched Lance's hand, but as soon as it touched, Lance would struggle and hiss.

This makes the tentacles difficult to treat, not to mention that it really can't do such fine movements.

If you want to heal Lance’s fingers, you must first pull out the broken nails.

Tentacle thought so too, but when it tried to pick Lance's nails, Lance was too uncooperative.

Lance didn't know whether he was escaping because he was afraid of pain or because he couldn't stand the touch of his tentacles.

There was a tug of war between the fish and the tentacles, and finally Lance was mad and bit off the end of the tentacles.

tentacle:"…"

Lance let out the little tail with a "bah", then gritted his teeth and swam into the anemone.

The pain in the hand is not unbearable, forget it, just chopped five nails.

And the tentacle that had been bitten for no reason stayed in place for a while, and finally it twisted, seeming to be very helpless with Lance's move.

Lance's move was basically a tickling to the tentacles, so it didn't care about it.

just…

Okay, why did Lance chop his nails?

The tentacles thought for a moment, then secretly separated a small strand of slender tentacles, and slowly crawled in the direction of the fleshy arms and legs.

It used to think that its little fish had the habit of collecting food, so it didn't care about it, but now it seems that its little fish is probably doing something that it doesn't know.
