Chapter 229: Water Monsters Rage
After listening to the old man's advice, General Chang and the two personal soldiers around him also looked at the surrounding sea, and it was indeed surprisingly quiet. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info is not quite the same as the sea that I just sailed through, and with the sensitive sense of smell of a long-term march, I can sense that there seems to be a murderous motive hidden in this calm.
However, before General Chang could decide whether to advance or pause, they had already seen something unusual, and two slightly dark brown objects suddenly appeared on the water in the distance, and at first everyone thought they were two pieces of driftwood.
However, the "two pieces of driftwood" got closer and closer at a rapid speed, and suddenly set off a huge wave on the sea!
At this time, everyone saw that on the water less than 500 meters away from the main ship of the navy, an unknown giant about ten meters long suddenly burst out, swimming towards the main ship one after the other, stirring up waves several meters high along the way, rushing up and falling to stir up a sea surface that was originally as quiet as a mirror...
"What's that!"
General Chang shouted while suppressing the panic in his heart and ordering all the sailors: "Archers prepare!" ”
The archers on the deck immediately took their positions. General Chang ordered again: "The rest of the ships come forward to support!" The following ships also rushed forward when they heard the drumming of the main ship.
"Could it be a water monster..."
"Water monsters?"
At this time, several old men also opened their frightened eyes, staring at the two giants and muttering to themselves. General Chang didn't care about any water monsters or water monsters, he had already shouted an order, and the archers fired in unison under his command.
……
The water monster that the old people said was a rumor from the people of the Western Regions. Legend has it that in the waters of the Western Regions, there is a still sea where the water changes color depending on the light and the seasons. There is a strange monster in the still sea, because their presence makes the waters unpeaceful.
It is said that this water monster has a history of hundreds of millions of years, and it may be that some remnants of ancient times migrated and thrived here.
It is said that the water temperature in the sea area where the water monster exists is very low, so it is not suitable for the growth and reproduction of most aquatic creatures, and the presence of fierce and carnivorous water monsters makes life here scarce.
However, in the extremely low temperature of the sea, the growth of organisms is very slow, how long does it take for this water monster to grow to ten meters long? They should live up to hundreds of years.
Legend has it that people in ancient times worshipped these monsters as their sea saints and regarded them as their protectors, so they never went to the sea to interfere with them. Some say that a merchant ship has accidentally seen it, but others say that no one has ever seen this monster.
……
Batches of arrows shot at the monster burrowed into the sea and never moved again. No matter how well-trained the Wanling Navy was, the two water monsters were huge but very flexible. In between shifting gears, the archers leap out of the water and leap forward.
But as soon as the archers' arrows were in place, they immediately plunged deep into the sea, and under a huge splash, there was no longer a single brown shadow to be seen...
Seeing that the bow and arrow were useless, General Chang ordered everyone to enter a state of combat readiness.
"Boom!"
I only heard a loud wave in front of me, and in front of the bow of the main ship, two huge brown objects jumped out of the water in an instant!
Only then did the sailors see the appearance of the water monster clearly. It is like two huge brown long fish, the head of the fish is huge, estimated to be about one meter long, and the whole body is only half exposed to the water, but it is also more than ten meters long.
The sailors were just about to swing their knives and guns to stab at the long-fish water monster, but the two water monsters had quickly fallen back into the water. Wait a few more seconds, and in the atmosphere of everyone's holding their breath, a little panic and fear, they only feel a violent shaking of the deck under their feet.
With the sound of the wooden planks clattering and cracking, like the shaking of the earth's crust, the people on the ship have suddenly lost their center of gravity, and the planks have been plucked in half from the center, and the fracture is upturned into the air!
It was so fast that I couldn't see it clearly, only to see a row of huge monsters with sharp teeth overturning this one, and rushing towards the next warship...
In the blink of an eye, the ten marching ships carrying the Wanling Navy have been overturned into the sea by the two water monsters, and some of the sailors who were close to the water monsters and tried to resist were also mercilessly twisted into a ball by the water monsters, and some of the sailors were torn open huge holes, dyed red with sea water, and died with hideous faces.
After panicking, the sailors began to gather under the leadership of General Chang, and then swam towards the nearest shore where they could see it.
With the good water nature trained since childhood, some of the sailors who were not torn apart by the water monster swam ashore. But the realm in the distance, which is suspected to be a pirate's lair, is no longer close to it...
……
The Wanling naval army was defeated, and the ships were destroyed, so they had to defect to the Yue Clan along the way.
At the same time, Yunling had already sent a military ship over again, asking Minsa and still to find an opportunity to lead the navy and the Banzai army to the mysterious island to explore again.
The goods in the first voyage were snatched neatly with their hands and feet, which must have been done by powerful pirates. Originally, the pirates in this area had long been intimidated by the Yunling Water Army, and they did not dare to make such a big move, and they no longer had such strength.
So this island that has never been set foot in is even more suspicious, or there is a group of powerful pirates hidden there, and it is possible that it is the supreme commander of the pirates in this area.
In order to completely eliminate the obstacles on the trade and waterway between Yunling and Yueshi, the forces on this island must be eliminated.
Minsa and Pei Xing were also suspicious of the island with a letter from the Imperial City of Yunling. According to the navy, it is not just a small island with a few hundred people, but an archipelago in the sea, a city on the sea, and no matter whether it is a pirate or someone there, it should not be underestimated.
"Take me with you on this trip." Pei Xing said categorically.
Minsa and still Shu hesitated for a second, but at the same time they thought about why Pei Xing would say so categorically. There are water monsters in the sea near the island, and the army and weapons have no effect on the water monsters, so naturally only Pei Xing can guarantee that this voyage can be successfully landed.
However, after all, Pei Xing's family has a lot of money, and he can't sit down, and as the lord of a country, he has a noble status, so he can't easily get into danger. So both Minsa and still Shu had a moment of hesitation.
"Okay, don't persuade me not to take any risks or anything like that, you are all charging for the reconstruction of the Yue Clan, and I, as the lord of a country, can't always be a turtle with a shrunken head!" Pei Xing's eyes widened and he said, for fear that Minsa and still Shu would unanimously veto his decision.
Looking at his somewhat anxious look, he couldn't help but smile at the corners of his mouth. Minsa also laughed, thinking that Pei Xing's straightforward personality was really the cutest thing about him.
Pei Xing didn't care whether the two of them laughed or not, anyway, he agreed: "Okay, we'll set off together when the Wanling Navy rests for a few days!" (To be continued.) )
