Chapter 81: Encounter with a Shark

Is it our old friend bottlenose dolphins? As soon as a glimmer of warmth rose in the hearts of the people, and they were ready to cheer for its arrival, its figure gradually attached to the water: its long, narrow, streamlined body was larger and more powerful than that of dolphins, and the color of its back was much darker than that of dolphins.

It was an adult tiger shark, and at this point it was following the stern of the boat, tearing at the streamers on it.

Everyone looked closely, only to find that the so-called streamer, when passing through the seaweed waters just now, inadvertently hooked a piece of seaweed entangled with the dead salmon, at this time the long seaweed floated in the stern of the boat, dragging the dead fish above, in the eyes of the shark, it is like a natural bait, attracting it to jump.

The shark approached the dead fish, and after just one bite, the salmon on the seaweed, which was nearly 60 centimeters long, broke into two, one fell into the shark's mouth, and the other slowly fell towards the bottom of the sea, and the shark swung its tail under the water, shook its body, and then bit it down and swallowed it with precision.

"Let's hope it's just this fish." Louis shook his oars and stared uneasily in the direction the tiger shark was traveling.

After preying on the salmon, it had no intention of stopping, making a circular motion around the lifeboat, and after a moment of melodious wandering, the tiger shark began to accelerate towards the lifeboat, hitting the bottom of the lifeboat with its dorsal fin, causing a lot of shaking of the hull. Olivia, who was sitting in the bow of the boat, lost her balance and almost fell overboard.

"It seems that the person who came is not good, if you don't go head-to-head with this guy, you won't leave easily if you let it suffer a little." Hugh spun the oars violently, trying to hit the tiger shark emerging from the bottom of the boat.

Katyusha, who was in the stern, held the military dagger and prepared to launch a counterattack.

After turning around on the surface of the sea, the shark again headed in the direction of the lifeboat, and slammed into it like a torpedo, vowing not to give up until it sank.

Katyusha saw the time, took the dagger out of her hand, flung it at the shark in the sea, and stabbed it deep into its back, revealing only the short hilt. After the sudden attack, the tiger shark writhed and struggled in the sea, and the blood on its back continued to ooze from the wound, appearing more and more violent, and it hit the lifeboat again despite the pain. With the experience of the last time, this time we were firmly attached to the deck, holding the side of the boat tightly to avoid falling overboard due to the impact.

"Give it another stab." Olivia exclaimed, handing her dagger to Katyusha.

"We've got a total of 4 daggers, all of them stabbed into this guy's back, bled him, and saw how long he could toss." Hugh looked down at the deck, which was reinforced with iron plates, which should be more than enough to deal with the impact of the sharks.

Katyusha took the last three daggers from everyone's hands, threw one at its back, and the other two at its left flank, all hitting their targets, causing four deep wounds on the shark's body, and blood pouring out. Soon stained the perimeter of the lifeboat red.

The shark's attack did not hurt the enemy in the slightest, but it was severely wounded, and it rampaged through the water in a fit of rage, trying to tear off a large piece of flesh from the enemy. But its impact was very destructive to the thick iron bottom, and at best it could only upset the balance of the hull and jolt the passengers above.

Everyone patiently endured the back and forth impact of the shark, only to see that the impact of the other party was getting smaller and smaller, and the hull of the ship changed from the violent shaking at the beginning to the last immobility, and the shark seemed to have completely lost its combat effectiveness.

Everyone stood up and looked down at the sea below, the tiger shark was already dying, ready to give up the target, not wanting to bury their lives here in vain, and was slowly turning back and swimming towards the distance.

Louis's eyes flashed with thirst: "Its fins are a good thing, such a big piece of shark fin, don't pick it up, little rabbit, see where you run." After speaking, he jumped down towards the tiger shark that was stuck like a hedgehog with a dagger.

"Beware, don't underestimate its sharp teeth." Olivia shouted from the side.

As soon as her words fell, Hugh also moved his muscles: "Count me in." Then a fish leaped and pounced on the shark below.

After the two fell into the water, they quickly pulled out the dagger on the shark's back, and with one hand, they stabbed the fatal parts of its mouth - the gills and nose, and in just a few seconds, the poor shark had been stabbed more than 20 times, and began to fight to death, twisting his head, trying to bite Hugh, who was closest to it, in a hurry, he blocked the attack with the dagger in his hand, and then pulled it out of the shark's mouth and stabbed it fiercely in the eye. Louis seized the opportunity to grab its fins and cut a large hole in it, cutting it off.

The badly wounded shark could not resist the onslaught, and finally floated straight to the surface and died, leaving it to be slaughtered, and Louis neatly cut off its fins and threw it onto the lifeboat.

Hugh made a triangular hole in the tiger shark's abdomen and dug out a piece of tender shark meat.

"Come up quickly, beware of attracting other sharks." Katyusha looked down at the sea below that was stained bright red with tiger shark blood, and said worriedly.

Hearing this, the two men decided not to stay in the water any longer, threw the spoils of war they had cut in their hands onto the deck, and climbed up the side of the ship.

After nearly an hour of hard work, the lifeboat finally arrived on the neighboring island, and in the middle of the island, there were bursts of red light floating in the air, like a fluorescent tube about to break down, flickering unsteadily, and intertwining with the morning sun looked particularly strange.

Hugh called up a holographic image of the terrain through his watch, and looked at the red light at the same location as the terrain depression he had previously discovered.

After pushing the lifeguard onto the beach, the agent team came there after passing through a jungle area, only to see a crater with a diameter of more than 100 meters and a depth of more than 50 meters on the ground, the wall of the crater is composed of soft red soil, and the bottom of the pit is a spherical object with a diameter of two meters, which glows with a luster like liquid metal, and wisps of mercury-like liquid ripples appear on the surface of the ball, making a 360-degree movement around the ball, as if it is firmly adsorbed on it, and not a drop has fallen.

The most incredible thing is that the ball actually hovered in the air more than a meter above the ground, and did not fall or find any shaking.

At the top of the ball, a funny squirrel stood and bounced, and with each jump the ball glowed a shimmering rose-red light, and when it stopped beating, the light disappeared, and the fellow seemed very satisfied with this, and amused himself.
