Chapter 397 Hunting Sea Soul Beast (Part )
"Magic Cube Octopus, what kind of soul beast is that?"
Xiao Wu, who was a human who had transformed for 100,000 years, knew nothing about sea soul beasts. Moreover, in the library of Notting City, there was not much content about sea soul beasts in the "Soul Beast Encyclopedia" which recorded the information of soul beasts.
sea!
This vast and mysterious world is extremely unfamiliar to both soul masters and soul beasts on land.
"An octopus with eight tentacles."
Zhou Qing took out a book called "Sea Soul Beasts: Detailed Explanation". It was called a detailed explanation, but it only recorded some species of sea soul beasts in the coastal areas of Douluo Continent.
The sea soul beasts in the deep sea area only record the names of some soul beasts and their general appearance.
The appearance of the Rubik's Cube Octopus also appeared in front of Xiao Wu and Tang San——
As Zhou Qing said, it had eight tentacles, which were gray-brown in color, white at the bottom, and had white disc-like objects on top. Its mouth was like an eagle's beak, and there were two whisker-like things at the bottom, but they were actually fluffy tentacles used to sense undercurrents in the sea.
However, the most surprising thing is that on its back, or rather, on its head, there is a blue-purple cube with grooves of varying depths on it, which looks quite strange.
And above this square body, there are circles of golden line-like things hovering, with forked tips, similar to coral.
"What a strange soul beast!"
Xiao Wu was shocked and couldn't imagine how this octopus could move without bones.
Even insects need a hard exoskeleton for support.
"Snails and leeches don't have bones either, but they can move, right? They're just a little slower. However, this octopus lives in the ocean, and its eight tentacles are extremely flexible, so it can move very quickly," Zhou Qing explained.
"oh···"
Xiao Wu could imagine how this Rubik's Cube Octopus would move in the sea, with its eight tentacles waving together to swim quickly.
In fact, it is a little different from what Xiao Wu imagined. Although the Rubik's Cube Octopus can swim, it is actually better at running, that is, using its eight tentacles to circle and run on the seabed.
"Is this square bluish-purple thing the shell of the Rubik's Cube Octopus? It's similar to snails and river snails, and it can shrink into itself when it encounters danger?" Tang San was more concerned about whether the square part of the Rubik's Cube Octopus was made of a strange material.
"Not the shell, but its brain."
Zhou Qing shook his head. "It's part of its skin."
Since there is very little information about sea soul beasts, no soul master on the mainland can clearly explain what the "magic cube" of this magic cube octopus is.
But there are also some discoveries, such as: the touch of this "magic cube" is similar to other parts of the Rubik's Cube octopus, and it is soft.
This has proven that this blue-purple "magic cube" is biological soft tissue and is the location of the brain of this type of sea soul beast.
What kind of soul skills will the soul master who obtains the Rubik's Cube Octopus gain?
The soul masters who choose the magic cube octopus as their soul ring are mostly sea soul masters, that is, their martial souls are aquatic animals. The currently known magic cube octopus can give soul masters soul ring skills:
First, there is soul ring mimicry, which can disguise the color of the soul ring. The magic cube octopus has a super mimicry skill, which can change its appearance by changing the color of its body surface, the wrinkles on its tentacles, etc., and it is awed by camouflage and imitation.
However, after being inherited by most sea soul masters, it can only be used to change the color of the soul ring, but cannot change the appearance of their bodies, and cannot achieve the state of integration with the external environment.
Second, there are tentacles that strangle.
This soul skill is mostly inherited by sea soul masters whose martial souls are originally octopus or squid. They can use the tentacles after being possessed by the martial soul to entangle and bind the enemy, causing the enemy's bones to break, lungs to be compressed, and suffocated to death.
Third, spiritual detection.
The Rubik's Cube Octopus has spiritual properties and is extremely powerful.
This skill was first discovered by a land-based soul master - that soul master's martial soul was a square gem with water attributes. Due to his short money, he could not afford to hire a soul hunting group, so he could only directly purchase a nearly hundred-year-old Rubik's Cube Octopus in a nearby market.
Who would have thought!
After obtaining the magic cube octopus's soul ring, his first soul skill was mental detection.
Therefore, for a period of time, many land-based soul masters with gem-type martial spirits began to look for the Rubik's Cube Octopus, but in the end they found that only gems with water attributes had a chance to obtain mental detection skills, and gems of other attributes could only summon the Rubik's Cube Octopus's mental tentacles to fight, or change the color of the gems.
Um--
This is the manifestation of soul ring mimicry and tentacle strangulation on gem martial souls.
Therefore, most soul masters who have gems have given up on choosing the Rubik's Cube Octopus as a soul ring. Moreover, the Rubik's Cube Octopuses with advanced ages are all in the deep sea areas. The Rubik's Cube Octopuses in coastal areas are only a hundred years old at most. Even if they have acquired the spiritual detection skill, they are not very powerful.
"Spiritual detection? Isn't this a duplicate of Romantina's first soul skill?" Xiao Wu didn't understand why Zhou Qing asked Romantina to choose the Rubik's Cube Octopus.
"The Cube Octopus has the ability to detect spirits, which means it has spiritual attributes. This is consistent with Romantina's martial arts attributes."
Zhou Qing had his own reasons. "Based on the Cube Octopus's mimicry and strangulation abilities, I can analyze that its mental detection skills are to assist it in completing these two abilities, rather than simply being used to detect the surrounding environment."
"That is, its brain uses mental power to detect the surrounding environment, and then issues commands to control the body to change color and wrinkles, blending in with the environment, and then waits for prey to swim by, and then strangles it with its tentacles."
"Detection, mimicry, strangulation, these three processes all require the body to complete! Using a brain to control eight tentacles, and even camouflage the body surface... How strong do you think it needs to be able to achieve such a level of control?"
Tang San pondered, and began to assume that he possessed the corresponding organs of the Rubik's Cube Octopus, but he had to change the shape of his body according to his own ideas, and completely blend in with the environment - it seemed impossible.
“It does sound amazing.”
Xiao Wu opened her mouth and said, "So, after Romantina obtains the magic cube octopus's spirit ring, she can obtain the spirit skills of detection, mimicry, and strangulation at the same time?"
"No, I think it's a more critical ability—"
Zhou Qing said calmly, "It should be able to give Romantina a skill to enhance information processing, or to analyze information more closely."
The Rubik's Cube Octopus uses its mental power to detect its surroundings and then mimics itself into various forms. In addition to its own sensory organs, this is because its Rubik's Cube brain has extremely strong information processing and logical analysis capabilities.
This is the origin of the Rubik's Cube Octopus!
And other things like mimicry, strangulation, and mental detection are just minor details!
