Chapter 119 Sea Beast(1/2)
Has it started?
Including Jonson Goode,
All the seafarers were nervous and squeezed to the guardrail on the deck and looked down.
I saw a lot of bubbles appearing on the sea where the blood was silted, like a hot pot of boiling water.
The sea water churns and stirs, forming waves, which form a sharp contrast with the surrounding windless zone.
"Back to your post!"
The first mate next to the captain shouted softly, pulled out the scimitar, slapped heavily on the guardrail with one side of the blade.
The dull sound of the collision between the blade and the guardrail made these poorly mentally ill seafarers react.
Give up watching and return to their respective positions.
Or take care of sails,
Or organize the winch and prepare to put away the anchor,
Or... debug the harpoon turret.
Crash.
As the owner of the ship, Jonson Goode naturally has the right to stand with the captain to watch,
I saw a black flat object two meters high and ten meters long, floating out of the water.
Scroll the sea water and create long V-shaped waves.
It is like the long and narrow dorsal fin of some kind of fish,
It also looks like the wrist foot of the octopus of the saccharidae.
It makes people unable to help but imagine how huge the essence below it will be.
The sailors on the boat exclaimed in depression. They had been walking on the sea all year round, seeing countless strange sea beasts, and even hunting several.
On both sides of the hull, the broken wood grain under the layers of brown paint,
The sharp harpoon turret and rifled cannon hidden behind the wooden baffle, shining with a cold light, are the best proof.
Of course, hunting giant sea beasts on the sea is not auspicious thing.
Superstitious seafarers rarely do it.
Only whaling ships running for profits and the Imperial Navy, which is responsible for maintaining the safety of the route, will hunt sea monsters.
(The biological materials cherished by some sea beasts are sometimes also the reason why humans hunt them)
Under the scolding of the first mate, the sailors on the Atoka returned to their respective positions.
The most elite seafarers debugged harpoons, whaling nets and rifled guns in the cabin.
The strange and vast windless belt seems dead silent, but in fact it is full of dangers.
The sea kings here are more fierce and violent than the sea beasts in the human waterways outside, and are generally larger in size.
Can these weapons in their hands be used to deal with conventional sea kings really protect them after the summoning ritual fails?
Crazy-
The exaggerated black dorsal fin sank under the water.
Neither actively attacked the ship,
Didn't dive away,
Instead, he swam back and forth around the anchored Atoka.
Gudong.
Jonson Goode looked at the large dark shadow below the sea and subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
When he was a noble son, he saw various giant skull specimens of sea kings in the Empire Museum, which could swallow the entire carriage in one bite.
The Imperial Navy will drag some of the sea kings they hunt along the waterway into the inner port of the city for the citizens to watch.
Show off the power of the empire.
But the movable shadow below the sea brought him a sense of oppression much stronger than the dead objects in the museum or the stinking corpses of sea beasts in the inner harbor.
Jonson Goode couldn't help but ask softly: "Captain, what kind of sea beast is this you summoned?"
“…”
The dark-skinned captain took a deep breath, but he actually didn't know.
The method he used to summon sea beasts was passed down from his ancestors.
In the captain's life, he only saw his father use it once.
He had never used it before.
He has no confidence in whether he can succeed.
Just when the captain was about to tell the young employer about it,
There was only a loud "bang" sound,
The entire four-masted ship shook violently.
The wooden barrels rolled on the deck, and the sailors staggered.
Jonson Good, who had a year of experience on board, instinctively reached out and grabbed the deck guardrail so that he would not fall to the ground and slide down the tilted deck into the sea.
Jonson Gooder looked at the captain with his head tilted to the captain, and saw the other party stabbing the sharp blade into the deck, stabbing his body, and his dull and serious face was also pale.
"Everyone is in place and ready to attack..."
Before the words were finished,
A violent shaking came from the front of the bottom of the ship.
With the sound of huge sea water,
The first half of the sailing boat rises high,
The dense blue-black barnacles growing from the bottom of the boat,
Everyone on the boat finally saw the full picture of the attacker who was pushing the sailboat.
It was a giant creature that seemed to be a mixture of crocodile and lizard.
Its body surface skin is blue-black like a reef, and its overall body is relatively slender, like a snake.
The limbs are fin-shaped,
There is a long black dorsal fin in the middle of the back.
On both sides of the dorsal fin, there are dense barb-shaped bulges.
The mouth is sharp and V-shaped, with teeth beveled, large and sharp, like a razor.
The upper body surfaced,
The eyes of the orange beast were facing high, like looking down at an ant,
He stared at the stunned people on the boat coldly and ruthlessly.
"Cangshe Dragon..."
Jonson Goode's face was pale, holding onto the guardrail firmly on the bumpy boat, spitting out a word in his throat.
The species of sea kings in the deep sea are as numerous as stars. The Cangsnake and Dragon are the largest among them. They are widely distributed throughout the ocean and are one of the most troubled opponents of the Imperial Navy.
The Cangsnake and Dragon around the conventional waterway is close to a marshy sailboat.
The northerly, the colder the water temperature, the larger the Cangsnake Dragon, the longer it can be close to a three-masted sailboat.
However, the Cangser Dragon in front of them was even larger than the four-mast Atoka they drove.
The sailors who controlled the harpoon turret and artillery in the hull were also shocked by this majestic and strong deep-sea beast like a Titan creation. They were stunned and placed their hands on the trigger of the turret with trembling hands, not daring to move at all.
"captain?"
Jonson Goode turned his head and looked at the foreign captain who was given high hopes by him, "What should we do?"
"Hehehe,"
The dark-skinned captain seemed to have not heard the employer's words, staring at the brown and yellow vertical pupils of the Cangsnake Dragon. His eyes were lost and he muttered to himself, "Uh hehe hehe hehe hehe hehe hehe hehe hehe hehe hehe hehe hehe hehe hehe hehe hehe hehe hehe hehe hehe hehe hehe hehe hehe hehe hehe hehe hehe hehe..."
"captain?"
Jonson Goodton felt a chill surge throughout his body.
Not only the captain, but all the sailors on the Atoka who looked at the Cang Snake Dragon's eyes were all in a state of stagnation, standing still, constantly making strange laughs.
What's going on?
A strong ominous premonition immersed Jonson Goode all over. He did not dare to look at Cangsnake Dragon, but instead stepped on his legs and rushed towards the direction of the lifeboat next to the hull.
However, before he could run a few steps, he was shocked to the ground by the loud roar from behind.
