CHAPTER XLIV

The bones of the sea dragon are decomposing themselves, and the decomposed components are excreted, and the detached scales begin to decompose, and a rotting smell envelops the small bay, attracting a large number of scavenging birds and insects. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info This was a mistake on the part of Hong Long, he did not seal off his hiding place so that the birds could spot him and fall to him and start devouring his body.

There are a lot of birds, and although the muscles on Hong Long's body are as tough as denatured rubber, they are still torn out of wounds one by one under the chews of so many birds, and blood flows out. The blood that flowed out of it corrupted the ground, attracting further insects, and now the huge sea dragon was covered in dense insects, and the scavenging birds were replaced by insects. Seeing that this sea dragon might die at the hands of insects and birds, such a death is absolutely humiliating - fortunately, the astronomical tide is coming.

Only when the astronomical tide is high, the tide will flood the cave, which saves Hong Long's life. The unconscious sea dragon was overwhelmed by the tide, a large number of bugs drowned, and the sea cleansed his wounds and swept him into the water below. Now it's a fish to try to bite the sea dragon - fortunately, the entrance to the sea below this bay does not support large fish to enter, and even Hong Long himself usually climbs over the low concave mountains next to him to enter the open sea.

Due to his suspended animation, Hong Long's breathing was extremely slow, and the reduced oxygen consumption allowed him to obtain oxygen by flowing through his jaw and gills, which were extremely capillary, so he did not drown. The changes in his body are still going on, the original bones are constantly shattering, the new bones are constantly being generated, and his body surface and carapace are also beginning to grow gradually, but this speed is much slower than when he used to fade the shell.

But now, when the tide is half-outcropped, Honglong is much safer than before, and the birds are less likely to tear his flesh apart, and the fish are more difficult to eat him. And just like that, time passed slowly.

It seems that the Common Era is indeed going to be changed to the year of the sea monster, and almost at about the same time, there are reports of strange sea monsters all over the world - "Is the earth going to be destroyed?" This is the opinion of many people. In the Atlantic, giant sea turtles are frequently sighted in the Caribbean Sea, and this giant creature seems to be very afraid of humans or very shy, always diving into the sea at a great distance from the boat, and only in times of violent storms, perhaps disturbed by the senses, such large sea turtles will occasionally crash into the boat, causing damage. Either way, it's clear that this giant turtle doesn't eat people.

In the Atlantic Ocean, there are reports of sightings of giant sharks not just one or two, from the coast of Norway in the north, the Baltic Sea to the Cape of Good Hope in the south, there are reports of shark sightings more than 20 meters long in such vast Atlantic waters. Of course, it is also believed to be a reappearance of the megalodon, a shark that was thought to be extinct in the past. These sharks are a relatively dangerous species because they feed on large pelagic fish such as tuna and small and medium-sized whales and dolphins. Fishermen catch tuna, and the Norwegians hunt whales, which are all encountered by this shark - of course, this is one of the most abundant sea monsters. Such encounters usually result in losses and casualties, in many cases the fishermen lose their prey and nets, and in rare cases, their boats and lives.

And in the Indian Ocean, an ocean where there were no records of sea monsters, there are also strange sea monsters - first of all, a large number of octopuses and squid, these mollusks are unexpectedly numerous and large, and they don't know where they came from. Octopuses that are four or five meters long and squid that are more than 10 meters long may have been found only in the deep sea in the past, but now they are found in large numbers in shallow waters and near the surface of the sea, so sea monsters that hunt them have also appeared......

It was a rather large whale, with a body more than 20 meters long and a huge head, and a large whale very similar to a sperm whale with a large mouth and tusks far more terrifying than a sperm whale, of course, biologists have also identified this kind of creature in a few reports of fishermen's sightings, "Melville whale is also an extinct whale." Is it the year of paleontologists? These guys are showing up, and they should be happy. The marine biologist flipped through the identification report sent to him by his paleontological colleagues.

Here in the Pacific, in the depths of the southern peninsula and archipelago, the sea devil is still wreaking havoc, and this terrifying creature - one has been found so far, along with the giant turtle and sea dragon, and probably the giant tiger fish, and these sea monsters have only one sighting, unlike the megalodon and Melville whales, which must have populations. This terrifying creature often attacks ships on the surface of the sea, and when it is time to strike it, it dives into the deep sea - neither the Yankees nor the mainland have been able to catch the whereabouts of this sea monster at the moment, and it is too difficult to track its movement in the deep sea. The sea dragon has lost its whereabouts and does not know when it will be rediscovered.

But the Sea Devil alone has dealt a major blow to international shipping, which is arguably one of the busiest in the world, with seagoing freighters and oil tankers sailing around the clock. But the Sea Devil's attack on ships on the route, perhaps only one ship a week, has dramatically increased the cost of sea freight – sailors are reluctant to go to sea, and chartering companies are reluctant to bear the larger cost of insurance, and they cannot afford to pay the large sum of money to stop the transport and anchor at the dock. Many ships are forced to stay in port and do not dare to go to sea until they are safe to do so. This has dealt a major blow to the economies of Asia and Europe, especially the economies of the small countries in the middle ports on the route.

The Sea Devil's blow to the pelagic fishing industry is even more unprecedented, this sea monster should have learned to choose its object after several attacks, it will first choose smaller fishing boats, then it will choose those larger freighters, and if there is a ferry, then this sea monster will almost certainly choose the ferry - just a few days ago, the unprecedented sea monster attack tragedy in the history of human oceans happened. The Indonesian ferry was attacked by the Sea Devil Chapter, and the death toll was in the triple digits from the beginning, and by the time the U.S. Navy arrived, the Sea Demon Chapter had already left, and the ferry had sunk on the sea, leaving behind people and bodies floating on the surface of the sea - the last statistics are almost impossible to confirm because the ship was overloaded. The U.S. Navy salvaged at least 473 bodies and rescued 715 people, but it is impossible to determine how many people are "missing," and the final conclusion is that 500 people may have "disappeared" in this way. However, at most, the Sea Demon Chapter ate less than half of them, and that was because according to estimates, this Sea Demon Chapter was only that big, and it might not be able to eat more.

Hong Long's bones have grown now, which took him almost four months, and the scale armor has just covered his whole body and continues to grow, and his minions have just revealed a point...... It's just that the sea monster still seems to be dead, and it probably takes at least as long for him to wake up.
