Chapter 174: North Sea Monster

"Is there any? you can tell me about it......" Lao Zhang urged a little impatiently. It seems that the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info that at present, this old Zhang has become dependent on the Wumao stories told by Wan San, and he is really a so-called plaything.

"Hmm...... There have been, but ......" Wan San said with some tangled entanglements.

"What's just, what's just what? You should hurry up......" Lao Zhang hurriedly urged again. It seems that at this time, he has not only become dependent on Wansan's Wumao story, but also learned from the master for a while, that is, as soon as he encounters something, he is in a hurry to take an ambulance and leave.

"Hmm...... Merely...... It's just that I haven't heard that there are ...... on this land," Wan San said slowly.

Obviously, what Wan San is trying to convey at this time is that I heard that there is something in the ocean.

"Oh, then you can talk about it quickly...... Lao Zhang still urged in a hurry, as if he was really in a hurry to leave.

"That's it, hurry up, don't rub ......" Everyone also hurriedly made up two whips towards Wansan, which means "Boom - drive."

It seems that at this time, this group of people has also become dependent on this living science and technology magazine. That's right, plaything is for anyone from any class......

.......

In fact, the reason why the group was eager to listen to this Wansan talk at this time was not necessarily how rare Wansan's story was. It's because in the past, they could be mentally relieved in the story of Wansan every time. Take the current matter as an example, if Wan San can tell a record or even a legend about the hundred-meter python at this time, then everyone will feel more psychologically more accepting of the hundred-meter python in front of them.

It's like in life, when we are facing some seemingly hopeless suffering, if someone can comfort you and say, "It's okay, I've caught up with ...... in this matter", then your heart will at least feel a little better.

So, under the unanimous urging of everyone, this Wansan finally turned his hands behind his back, narrowed his eyes, and said in an extremely pretentious tone: "I once saw ...... in a science and technology magazine......

......

And the following is what Wan San said-

In the ninth century, Alfred the Great, a wise and learned king of England who had repeatedly prevented the invasion of England by Danish armies, wrote in his parchment: "At the bottom of the unfathomable sea, the monster of the North Sea is sleeping, it has been asleep for centuries, and it will continue to rest on the great sea worm, until one day the flame of the sea worm will warm the seabed, and both men and angels will witness it, and it will rise from the bottom of the sea with a roar, and everything on the surface of the sea will be destroyed." ”

It is a giant sea monster in Norse legend, it is said to be at least 300 meters long, usually lying on the bottom of the sea, occasionally surfacing the water, and some sailors will mistake its huge body for a small island. The sea python is so powerful that it is said to be able to pull a three-masted warship to the bottom of the sea, so people often shudder when they talk about this sea python.

So is this kind of conclusive rumor true?

Don't worry, and listen to Wansan continue to load......

......

The earliest record of a marine python in modern times was in 1638 in the port of Gloucester off the coast of New England.

At that time, a large number of people witnessed the giant python, and said that its head looked like the head of a rattlesnake, but it was much larger, and it looked like the head of a horse. Its body is thicker than its head, oily black-brown, but it is white under its throat, and its body is long without any branches such as claws or fins.

And, when it swims, its body will have multiple bulges, just like a snake on the ground, its body will swing and bend, but the snake's swing and bend are horizontal, while this monster is swinging and bending up and down. And sometimes it swims in a straight line, sometimes it spins in circles in the water.

Throughout the 17th century, the sea was filled with an abundance of fish, so there were many fishermen and sailors here, and there were frequent incidents of marine pythons here.

In August 1817, Captain Solomon Allen, who had spotted an ocean python in the waters of Gloucester Harbor, Massachusetts, USA, recounted: "At that time, the creature that looked like an ocean python was swimming about 130 meters from the harbor. The monster looked to be four hundred meters long, with a body as thick as half a beer keg and a dark brown color. The head is like a rattlesnake, the size of a horse's head. Swimming slowly on the water, sometimes swimming in circles, sometimes swimming straight. When the python disappeared, it burrowed straight into the bottom of the sea, and after a while, it reappeared from about 180 meters away. ”

The carpenters on board, Mathieu Gavne, Danielle Gavne, and Ogasskin Wiba, were fishing in a dinghy when they also encountered an anaconda.

Matthew aimed his rifle at it about twenty meters away and shot at it!

According to him, "I shot about 20 meters from the ocean python about 20 meters away from the dinghy. My gun was very good, and I was completely sure of the shooting technique, and I aimed it at the head of the monster, and it must have hit! And the monster swam towards us at the same time as I shot, and as soon as I got close, it dived into the water, got through the dinghy, and reappeared thirty meters away! The sea python did not swim down, but sank like a rock, straight and straight down. My gun could fire heavy bullets, I was the best shooter in town, and I clearly felt that I had hit the target. But the sea python didn't seem to be hurt at all, and we were terrified and hurriedly rowed back to the boat...... "......

......

By August 6, 1848, the sailors of the British cruiser "Deidales" also witnessed the sea python.

At that time, they were on their way back to England from India, and when the ship was sailing to the sea about 500 kilometers west of southern Africa, they suddenly—"We found a monster on the side of the ship approaching us!" exclaimed Satrice, an intern on the lookout!

The captain and sailors hurriedly rushed to the deck, only to see that about 200 meters away from the warship, a monster raised its head, and the body part of the exposed water was more than 20 meters long, and it was swimming in the southwest direction. The captain took out his binoculars and stared closely at this rare marine python.

Moreover, he recorded in detail everything he had witnessed that day in his logbook, and when he arrived on the British mainland, he handed over it to the naval command along with the portrait of the sea python he had seen with his own eyes......
