At this moment, facing the relentless pressure from four adult humpback whales, the giant octopus remained indifferent, obviously having absolute confidence in its own strength.
Xiang Yang's eyes kept wandering between the four adult humpback whales and the giant octopus, carefully comparing the fighting power of both sides.
The humpback whale is very powerful, especially its strength is amazing. With its fins that are bigger than doors, it can definitely beat the giant octopus to pieces with a flap of its power.
But that giant octopus was also terrifyingly powerful.
First of all, what Xiang Yang feared was naturally the octopus’s mouth and sharp teeth.
Xiang Yang had a premonition that the protective suit he was wearing could not withstand the bite force of the giant octopus.
And as far as Xiang Yang knew, the octopus's saliva was poisonous.
When an octopus captures its prey, it usually injects venom and digestive enzymes into the prey's body.
If a human is bitten by such a large octopus, the human is basically doomed. Once a human is bitten by it, even if the person does not die, the venom is deadly and dangerous.
Moreover, octopuses are warmongers. Not only do they dare to fight any opponent in the ocean, they sometimes even kill each other.
Xiang Yang stayed where he was, quietly watching the four humpback whales pressing down towards the seabed.
The octopus initially remained in a lying position.
When the four humpback whales were less than 300 meters away from it, it finally took action. It waved its tentacles, with two tentacles supporting its huge body, and the remaining tentacles spread out like a net, waiting for the four humpback whales to approach.
When Xiang Yang saw this, he felt relieved. It seemed that the octopus could not really ignore the four humpback whales.
As far as Xiang Yang knows, octopuses will only use their two tentacles to support their bodies when they are in danger.
Generally, creatures that walk on two legs have hard bones and developed muscles, otherwise they would not be able to stand up at all.
But octopuses can walk on two legs.
Scientists have also discovered that octopuses walk faster on two legs than on eight legs.
As the two sides got closer, the fighting spirit of both the four humpback whales and the giant octopus began to rise.
Xiang Yang sighed. Unless something unexpected happened, this battle was inevitable.
As far as Xiang Yang knows, neither the humpback whale nor the giant octopus can dive deep by themselves.
The reason why they can survive in the deep sea is because of myoglobin.
But the structure of myoglobin is very unstable and can be easily oxidized.
Therefore, whether it is an octopus or a whale, they are all crazy about an antioxidant - astaxanthin.
Even in order to survive, octopuses and whales must plunder astaxanthin frantically to prevent myoglobin from being oxidized.
"Although octopuses grow extremely fast, it only takes two to three years for them to grow to about three meters in length, but an octopus that is nearly twenty meters long is still incredible. This should be related to the large number of krill in this sea area. You know, krill also contain a large amount of astaxanthin." Xiang Yang stared at the battlefield that was about to unfold while thinking secretly.
At the same time, Xiang Yang tightened the biological electric gun in his hand and began to slowly approach the octopus.
It’s not that Xiang Yang doesn’t believe in those four humpback whales.
An octopus of this size is really terrifying. Apart from human high-tech weapons and the power of nature, almost nothing can kill an octopus of this size.
Octopuses are very smart, with an IQ higher than that of humpback whales.
After research, scientists discovered that octopuses have conceptual thinking and memory, and can learn a lot of things.
The most amazing thing is that the octopus is completely self-taught and does not need any instruction from its elders. It can rely on its own smart brain to continuously improve its combat experience, hunting skills, and escape ability.
Moreover, after research, scientists discovered that octopuses have more than one memory system.
Octopuses have two memory systems, one is the brain memory system and the other is the suction cup memory system.
In addition, octopuses have three hearts.
Of course, octopuses also have weaknesses.
Octopuses are born with autism, are solitary, like to live alone, and love to drill into jars or snail shells. Many fishermen take advantage of this habit of octopuses and can easily catch a large number of octopuses every day.
At this moment, Xiang Yang clearly felt an invisible wave of water coming.
Immediately afterwards, Xiang Yang saw that the four humpback whales slid their huge fins quickly at the same time and rushed towards the giant octopus.
Judging from the size, strength and hardness of the humpback whales, if these four humpback whales really hit the giant octopus this time, they might be able to kill it instantly.
But the giant octopus was obviously not so easy to deal with.
I saw it using two tentacles to protect its big bald head, and the two tentacles were running quickly in another direction like human feet. The four tentacles on its body were dancing and shaking like branches. In short, they were swinging rapidly as if it was having a seizure.
A look of surprise flashed across Xiang Yang's face.
Like whales, octopuses need a large amount of astaxanthin to support their survival on the seabed. They should be natural enemies of humpback whales and fight to the death as soon as they meet. But now, they didn't even fight and this guy just ran away.
But soon, Xiang Yang realized that he was wrong.
This giant octopus was not really trying to escape. It was just trying to avoid the attack temporarily. After nimbly avoiding the rapid charge and impact of the four humpback whales, the giant octopus immediately stopped running away.
It moved its two tentacles and quickly ran to the smallest humpback whale. Then it stretched out its two tentacles with bared fangs and claws and quickly attacked the humpback whale.
The humpback whale that was treated as a soft persimmon by the giant octopus was Bighead. Among the four adult humpback whales, it was the smallest in size.
Facing the attack of the giant octopus, Big Head did not retreat but advanced. It flapped its huge fins as big as door panels and slapped the giant octopus on the head.
At the same time, the remaining three humpback whales also launched an attack on the giant octopus. For a moment, the entire sea was stirred up by these five sea beasts. Because the power was so great, Xiang Yang even saw small whirlpools.
Facing the simultaneous attack of four humpback whales, the giant octopus used two tentacles to support its huge body, leaving one tentacle to protect its head. The three tentacles slapped the three humpback whales at the same time. With the last two tentacles, one slapped the big head of the whale, and the other quickly wrapped around the body of the whale.
