The beast was huge, but it was a little slower, and at full speed, it was still a little slower, and it was quickly thrown out of the way.

"It can't catch up with us, it's so dangerous!" the captain wiped a cold sweat, suddenly felt a chill all over, and hurriedly shivered and went to the cabin.

Lin Qian leaned on the side of the boat and looked behind, the shadow of the giant beast was getting farther and farther away, until it disappeared from the range of vision, and then he went back with peace of mind.

The water entering the bottom of the cabin is blocked by a layer of barriers, which is safe for the time being, as long as you survive this time to the agreed place, you don't have to worry about the danger on the sea.

"President, ...... just now" Although the black-clothed magician has a proud personality, he knows that he has made a mistake and bravely admits it.

"Needless to say," Lin Qian knew the situation and didn't blame him, "When we get to someone's territory, don't be so public." It's okay to provoke the beast, but if we annoy people, we have nowhere to run if we want to. ”

"Yes, the president taught. The black-clothed magician bowed his head and admitted his mistake, his attitude was very sincere.

"Pay attention to the situation outside, there will be a moment to dock, and there must be no problems during this time. "It may be that the fierce beast just now scared Lin Qian, he is always worried about what danger there is in the ocean.

Several sailors died on the ship, all of them were from the Nanyang side, Lin Qian wanted to visit the other party, after all, it was his own reason, and if he didn't handle it well, it might make the situation serious.

The ship was not small, and after going around several stairs Lin Qian saw the captain and the sailors with a sad face, the voyage at this time was all driven by magic, and the sailors were rested.

"Oh, President Lin. The captain was a sensible person, and he greeted Lin Qian politely when he saw him. But the eyes of the other sailors were a little dissatisfied, if it weren't for the arrogance of the magicians under Lin Qian, this sacrifice would not have happened.

"Everyone is here," Lin Qian greeted with a little embarrassment in the face of so many pairs of hateful eyes, and then said, "It's all my responsibility this time, and I didn't discipline my subordinates well, so I added so many things for nothing." ”

"President Lin is serious," the captain sighed, "we often go to sea, and we have seen a lot of such things, even if we don't die from fierce beasts, we are often in danger when we encounter stormy weather." Besides, they were kind enough to help us stabilize the hull, but they didn't have the experience. ”

"Anyway, those magicians of mine can't get away with it, it's some money-" Lin Qian took out a lot of golden tickets from his bosom and was about to hand them to the captain.

"What does President Lin mean by this?" The captain was a little unhappy, could it be that life can be measured in terms of money?

"In addition to the cost of repairing the ship, the rest is a pension for the families of the sailors who were killed, and the labor force in the family is gone, so they always have to live, right?" Lin Qian according to his thinking in the world, if someone dies in the unit, he will definitely pay some money to the family.

The captain thought about it for a while, although this money could not be exchanged for the life of his family, it was better than the death of a relative in vain, so he agreed on behalf of the crew's family.

"Do you know anything about that beast before?Have you encountered it before?" Lin Qian guessed, since this captain could recognize the beast at a glance, he must have seen it before.

"Yes. The captain took a deep breath and said with a look of reminiscence, "You only need to see it once, and you will never forget it again." I've seen it three times in all my years of sailing, including this one. So today we were lucky enough to run into it. But I've never seen it in its entirety, and the only part of it that comes out of the water is the one I see today. As for the rest, I just remember that it was pitch black underneath our entire ship, and I thought it could swallow the whole ship alive. ”

"What were you doing the first two times...... Deal with?"

The captain smiled, "I don't dare to deal with it." It seemed to be stuck in the water all the time, hitting the hull with only the part that was out of the water each time. If our boat had a deeper draft, it would have been knocked over with one body, and I would have no way of escaping. Also, it's not fast, and you can still get away with it if you sail faster. In addition......"

The captain's expression changed, and he didn't want to continue.

"What's wrong?" Lin Qian wondered in his heart, why didn't he continue.

"It's nothing, when you join forces with the elders to deal with it later, don't go into the water easily, it is not afraid of anyone in the water. The captain vaguely covered the past and reminded Lin Qian.

"Well, we know the truth of playing to our strengths and avoiding our weaknesses. Does it have any weaknesses besides not being able to go ashore?" Lin Qian knew that this was an experienced old captain, maybe he knew more than the elder.

"No matter what kind of species it is, its habits are always somewhat similar to those of fish, and I suppose it must have the same weakness as fish, right?" the old captain snorted, and he couldn't tell.

There was a crew member outside who informed them that they had arrived at their destination, and the captain muttered "so soon" and hurried out of the cabin to the deck to command.

"Guys, slow down and get ready to drop anchor!

Lin Qian also went to the deck and saw a deserted island not far away, which was the place agreed by the Nanyang elders, why didn't there be any lights on the island?

"The elders are supposed to be in the center of the island, they didn't see us coming. The captain explained, but he also felt strange, didn't he even have a sentry?

got off the boat and went ashore, still no one was seen, Lin Qian immediately felt that something was wrong, something must have happened!

"Old Captain, did you set off from here?"

"No, I'm from Takeshima and have agreed with the elders to meet here. At their pace, they should have arrived a day earlier. ”

Bamboo Island, as the name suggests, is an island overgrown with bamboo, where the elders usually meet, and it is also the political center of the Nanyang tribe.

The group searched all corners of the island, but still didn't find anything, the island is not big, and it is easy to find all the places, but they just didn't find anyone.

Lin Qian had no choice but to find a place to sit down and wait slowly, and chatted with the captain when he was bored: "Have you been here before?"

"We passed by a few times, but we didn't get to the shore, there were no trees here, and we didn't bother to come up to see. ”

"There shouldn't be any other islands around this island, right?"

"No, it's going to be a day's sail to the nearest neighboring island. ”

"That's strange, without a captain like you, the elders shouldn't get lost, right?"

Talking and laughing, the crew found something to light a fire, on the one hand, to heat the light, and on the other hand, to let the elders see the light on the sea.

"Why don't you even have a tree on this island, you have to find something from the ship to light the fire!" Lin Qian heard the complaints of the crew, the ship was temporarily not replenished, and the big leaky hole had not been repaired, plus it was normal to complain a little on this deserted island.

"Boom!" the whole island shook violently, and after a while it was calm again.

The old captain panicked for a moment, and then judged: "It should be an undersea earthquake, and the power is not too great, so that's it." ”

Lin Qian was also a little flustered at first, but he was a little relieved when he heard the captain's words, after all, he was experienced and still knew more about this kind of phenomenon.

"Boom!" another violent shaking, followed by a burst of calm.

"Aftershocks, haha. The captain laughed wryly, and he was embarrassed to be slapped in the face just after he had just finished speaking.

Lin Qian nodded uncertainly, how could the aftershock be more powerful than the first earthquake? He remembered that the news he had read before didn't say that.

"Boom, boom!" A stronger shaking came, and even the captain did not dare to speak, he knew that this was not an undersea earthquake.

"Get back on board!" cried the captain.

"What's wrong?"

"I think we're really entangled in it. The captain lost the confidence he had just gained and said with some trepidation.

Is it a beast?

Lin Qian beckoned his men to board the boat while thinking, if it was the fierce beast, could it be that the shaking just now was the fierce beast crashing into this island?

Isn't that scary? That beast is crazy? And although this island is not big, it is more than a hundred acres, and it can really sink it?

"Wait a minute!" Lin Qian called out to the old captain, "I don't think we should get on the boat yet." ”

"Why?" Although the old captain's tone was respectful, he obviously looked down on Lin Qian, and a layman's blind command would cause an accident.

Lin Qian Zhengse said: "I'm afraid that fierce beast can't get close to our ship, it's too large, and our boat is in shallow water." It was trying to use the impact to lure us to the ship and escape, and then look for an opportunity to deal with us in the sea. ”

The old captain hesitated, should he trust his own judgment or Lin Qian's thinking at this time?

"We'll wait by the side of the ship, and if the island does sink by it, I'll have the magicians put us all on board, and it's never too late to escape. If I leave now, I'm afraid I'll fall for the beast's trick. Lin Qian then persuaded.

"Well, do as you say!" the old captain knew that this was the safest way to go, and hastened to do so.

"Boom!" The sound of flesh and earth colliding could be clearly heard during this shaking, confirming the captain's suspicions.

"The strength is really great, what does it eat and grows so big?" Lin Qian didn't dare to imagine how big the most of its body hidden in the water was.

"Roar!" suddenly came a roar from the dreary bottom of the sea, and this voice was thicker and more ferocious than the roar of the dragons.

"Is that the voice of a fierce beast?" Lin Qian asked.

"No!" the old captain suddenly remembered something, "the beast does not bark. If it's not a ferocious beast, is it ......?"

The old captain stomped the earth under his feet, and it was very strong, and he called a magician to dig deeper. Not long after, a large scale suddenly appeared at the bottom of the pit, as big as an umbrella and as thick as the palm of a hand.

The old captain gasped when he saw the scales: "This island turned out to be another giant beast!"
