Ye Yaodong was startled. It could still move?
So it was a male squid...
Luckily, luckily, Hong Wenle had been squatting fairly high up, and the Giant Squid's spermatophores had only sprayed onto his collar.
The spermatophores it sprayed out were white and threadlike. Generally, once discharged, they would automatically hook onto a female's body if they came into contact with it.

Hong Wenle glanced in disgust at the front of his clothes. Seeing that it was still spraying, he immediately stepped back twice, then frowned. "Are those its spermatophores?"

His siblings beside him teased him. "Good thing it only sprayed your clothes and not your mouth, hehe..."
"Haha... imagine if it sprayed into his mouth. It's a
