Chapter 273: Sharks

Leaving the Vale de Mayo, they spent half a day driving around Praslin Island for half a week, and this was a few taxis they hailed at the gate of the Vale de Mayo. According to statistics, there are quite a few tourists who say that the real Seychelles is in Praslin because it is more beautiful, more tranquil and more like a paradise than Mahe.

Praslin is truly beautiful, with the Valley of May, as well as Lazio Beach, one of the top 10 beaches in the world. However, their destination this time is not there, no matter how beautiful the beach is, it will be boring if there are many people, so it is better to go back to the villa to see the "own" beach. Although Lazio beaches are known for their tranquility, as long as a beach is known in the world, the word "quiet" will leave it.

They were going to Praslin's pier, where they booked a boat for a sunset dinner, a program peculiar to renting boats in the evening. After dinner, they will take a boat directly from the pier back to Mahe Island, and experience a different atmosphere from the sea than when they were on a plane.

There is a market right next to the marina, and all kinds of seafood are fresh and cheap, but any fruits and vegetables other than seafood are very expensive, because almost everything in Seychelles needs to be imported except seafood. Since you come to the island for a vacation, it is natural to eat more seafood, especially sea bream and tuna, Seychelles is known as the kingdom of tuna.

They bought a sea bream, a large section of tuna, and some fresh live shrimp, clams, and a few vegetables, which they were ready to cook on the boat. The sea bream is cut into pieces and fried in butter until golden brown on both sides, charred on the outside and tender on the inside. Because the tuna is very fresh, Li Han cut half of it to make sashimi. The rest is served with lettuce to make a salad.

The shrimp originally wanted to be fried and eaten, but because there were no chili peppers, they had to be salt-baked, and the taste was also very delicious. Paired with a local cake bought in the market, it was very satisfying. The dessert is also a local specialty, a reddish-brown dim sum that looks a bit like a red sausage, but it doesn't taste like that at all.

When the boat docks, it's just in time to catch the last boat to Mahe. There are two modes of transport between Mahe and Praslin, one is by small plane. 15 minutes. The other is by boat, an hour. There are many people who choose these two options, and most of them want to try both like Li Han and them, but most of them come by boat. Fly back. Because the waves are too big. Seasickness is so bad that even the conductor doesn't buy round-trip tickets.

The group ate with bulging bellies, and the conductor could tell at a glance that they had just had a full meal. Again and again in broken English, he asked, "Are you sure you want to take the boat back to Mahe?" ”

After confirming it, he sold tickets to them, Li Han didn't come, and he was inexplicable: "Do you want to sell tickets to us or what?" ”

Benedict smiled: "You will understand when you start the boat, the wind and waves can be strong, and there are many seasick people." If it weren't for the fact that the six of us didn't get seasick, we wouldn't have dared to come to the boat after we were full. But the scenery along the way is good, blowing the sea breeze, it feels very good. ”

Sure enough, the boat shook more and more violently in less than ten minutes, and some passengers couldn't help but start to feel uncomfortable, and an Asian woman was already lying on the railing and vomiting. Everyone hurriedly looked away, so as not to disgust themselves, there were already people next to them who were taken to vomit, but fortunately, Li Han's position was close to the bow of the boat, at least the smell couldn't be transmitted.

Immediately after that, someone screamed: "Stop the boat, my child has fallen into the water......"

Everyone was shocked and helped her scream, but the boat had already sailed out for at least a few tens of meters, Li Han stood up and looked at the stern, and sure enough, there was a person struggling in the water, floating and sinking. A man at the stern of the boat had already taken off his shoes and jumped into the sea, and the boat slowly stopped, but this distance had passed, and he didn't know if he could save people.

The child who fell into the water should not be very old, and the mother did not look more than thirty years old, and her husband, who obviously did not know how to water, stood anxiously at the stern of the boat, hoping that the good Samaritan would be able to save the person by chance.

It's just that how easy it is to save people in the sea? Children don't know how to swim, so it's easier to sink into the water when they struggle, and it's not easy to find such a small target in the sea, and it is not easy for non-professional lifeguards to swim at least more than 100 meters back and forth.

Li Han estimated it in his heart and felt that he probably still needed to go into the water, so he also took off his shoes and went into the sea from the stern. At this time, someone on the boat suddenly exclaimed: "What is that?" Sharks? ”

"Oh my God, I heard last year that someone was bitten to death by a shark...... Come ashore, the sharks are coming......"

More and more people began to call the two men who had gone into the water to come ashore, and although the parents of the children were anxious, they could not say anything to ask them to continue to save people, so they could only bite their lip and remain silent. Li Han is not far from the boat, it is easy to get on the boat, but there are still two people in the water, how can he just throw it away?

After thinking about it, he still swam to those two people as fast as he could, if a few days ago, he was not afraid of sharks, but now that he has lost his true yuan, he is only a little faster than ordinary people, far less than those trained swimmers, fighting sharks in the sea, he really has no score in his heart.

He swam so fast that the people in the boat had stopped shouting and were just nervously clutching at the railing, praying that the sharks wouldn't spot them. Li Han quickly picked it up, and the one who went into the water first was also good, and he had already found the child who had fallen into the water. It was a little girl of five or six years old, I don't know if she was suffocated or if he deliberately knocked her unconscious for the convenience of saving people.

Li Han stepped forward to pick up the child, and said in a deep voice: "Go back to the boat, the shark is coming, hurry!" ”

The man was also startled and tried to swim up, and Li Han followed closely with the child in his arms. At this time, he realized that the man's leg was injured at some point, as if it had been scraped by something, and a long wound was almost healed, but because of the soaking and exertion, it cracked open again and oozing blood.

Li Han scolded in his heart, sharks are extremely sensitive to the smell of blood, although there are not many, but they are so close, I am afraid that sharks have already smelled the smell. He kicked the water hard and pushed the man: "Quick, the shark is coming." ”

The man swam harder and harder, but where is the speed of a man compared to the speed of a shark? Li Han had already seen the shark, although there was only one, but it was also coming towards them in a clear direction, and they were at least thirty meters away from the boat.

Li Han saw that it was not good, so he simply stuffed the child into the man's hand: "You go first." He reached into his pocket and drew a dagger. Now that he has lost his true yuan, he can't use the magic weapon at all, and this sword is still a flying sword that has been refined and scrapped before, and it will be used as a dagger.

The man saw him take out his weapon, and he didn't say anything nonsense to stay and resist together, and there were children, but he tread water faster, and swam out a few meters away in the blink of an eye.

Li Han also followed with a short sword, reaching out to help push him to speed up, hoping to get to the side of the boat before the shark came, and save a fight. In the past few years, I have been accustomed to the days of Zhenyuan, and now I have suddenly become an ordinary person, and my heart is really a little empty, this pair of sharks, even if they have weapons in hand, I am afraid they will be injured a little.

It's not that he's afraid of getting hurt, it's just that in the sea, there must be more than one shark, and I don't know if this one is left behind or what, if he is injured and the blood that flows attracts the sharks, then he will die. MD, you still have to hurry up and get the real yuan back, otherwise it's really unsafe!

Li Han muttered in his heart, and soon the shark was already close in front of him, and he could see the greed in the shark's small eyes: this was treating them both as food, and he was almost not drooling. At this time, they were still twenty meters away from the boat.

"Let's go." Li Han finally pushed the man and greeted the shark. The shark seemed a little surprised to see him rushing over, although the shark is not the overlord of the ocean, but it is also famous, the fish have always seen them turn around and run away, and it is rare to see the "food" that meets them.

Li Han didn't want to fight it hard, as soon as his feet were forced, the whole person jumped up from the sea, landed on the shark's back after a somersault, and then grabbed the protruding tip of the shark's mouth with his left hand, and the dagger in his right hand was aimed at the shark's eyes and inserted it.

The shark seemed to sense the danger, or it may have been unhappy that the "food" actually rode on its head and rolled directly. The fish skin was slippery and unstable, and in the exclamation of everyone on the boat, Li Han was thrown out, and the dagger almost came out of his hand.

Because of his offense, the shark directly gave up the big and small ones over there, opened its bloody mouth and rushed towards Li Han, its sharp giant teeth flashing with cold light.

What Li Han saw was not the sharp teeth that were enough to bite him in two, but the tender palate that showed out of its mouth. He didn't dodge or dodge, he directly bent his body into a ball, and rolled forward and rushed into the shark's mouth, causing the passengers on the boat to scream even more worriedly, and Li Han even heard the voices of Lydia and his friends from inside.

The shark's teeth are not a constant row like other animals in the ocean, but have 5 or 6 rows, except for the outermost row of teeth that really play the function of teeth, the rest of the rows are "supine" as a backup, like tiles on the roof covering each other, once the outermost layer of teeth is lost, and the inner row of teeth will immediately move forward to fill the cavity to replace the lost teeth.

Li Han's calculation was very accurate, he avoided the outermost row of sharp teeth of the shark, and landed safely in the shark's mouth. The shark was about ten meters long, but its mouth was not big enough for Li Han, so he could only sit in the shark's mouth, and then use his greatest strength to stab the fish into the upper jaw with a dagger.

Although it is a waste product, this kind of scrapped flying sword is also much sharper and longer than ordinary daggers. The flying sword, which was more than thirty centimeters long, pierced the most delicate part of the shark, and even if the shark was strong, it rolled in pain, and the originally wide open mouth wanted to close, but Li Han struggled to stand up and supported it with his hands and feet.

He didn't know how the shark ate, and if it was swallowed directly, wouldn't it swallow him? He couldn't stand the gastric juice or something. (To be continued......)
