Chapter 15: A Five-Meter Viper!
It is said that when Zhao Wushuang transformed into a rock and sank quietly to the bottom of the sea, the battle on the sea was also coming to an end.
The blood-red sunset in the western sky had sunk not far from the sea, and the light sprinkled seemed to smear the entire sea surface with a layer of demonic blood. It's already dusk, and soon the sun is going down, and night is coming.
The entire sea area where the battle took place was a large amount of broken debris, mutilated limbs, and torn clothing. There are even some wood floating on the surface of the sea, and the part that is exposed to the water is still burning, showing the tragedy of the naval battlefield......
On the largest rice ship of the Guangdong Naval Division, Chen Liansheng was directing the retreat of the Qing army. A confidant on the side was reporting to him on the situation of this operation: "My lord, this naval battle with Xiyi. Our side lost a total of 40 warships, 66 logistics baggage ships, and about 5,000 soldiers and casualties. As for the number of damaged fishing boats and the number of deaths collected by the people, it is not known for the time being......"
Chen Liansheng's face was so gloomy that he could drip water, and only after a long time did he sigh: "Maintain a combat and defensive posture and retreat back to the port of Guangzhou in batches." Leave some scouts and reconnaissance ships behind to observe the movements of Xiyi. Think about it again. ”
"Yes! The villain immediately went to arrange it. The staff saluted and turned away.
Chen Liansheng's eyes looked out of the window, staring at the sinking blood-colored sunset. As if talking to himself, he whispered: "Xiyi is strong, the ship is strong, and the war spirit is full." On the other hand, I am in the Qing Dynasty, except for Lord Lin and a very small number of adults; All the adults in the DPRK and China do not want to make progress, and they are self-righteous. It's like the sun setting ......"
He didn't say any more, and there was a hint of gloom and sadness in his eyes that had been resolute and strong.
On the main battleship of the British Merville, Vice Admiral Henry of the Royal Navy was also directing the defensive retreat of the British army, while listening to the reports of the adjutant and his subordinates.
Adjutant Jim held a statistical data in his hand and respectfully reported in front of him: "The report will show that in this naval battle with the Qing Empire, our army lost a total of three sixth-level battleships, one fifth-class battleship, and one East India Company armed steamer. There were about 500 casualties. ”
Henry sat in an ornate fabric chair and played with a crystal ball in his hand. His eyes were fixed on the crystal ball, as if he hadn't heard Jim's report at all.
Another rear admiral was furious: "The lives of five hundred Royal Navy have been lost in this wild and distant land in the East. And how could the barbarians' broken wooden ships destroy our fifth-tier battleship Slime? ”
At this time, Henry stopped playing with the crystal ball in his hand and stared at the young major general indifferently: "Smith, the Slime was ordered by me to sink the nearby Yorkshire. Because at that time, the Qing army had already occupied the Slime, in order to prevent the superb technology from falling into the hands of the Qing Empire. ”
Adjutant Jim's heart moved: "It seems that it is true that the Lieutenant General and Major General Smith have contradictions, otherwise, they would not have concealed the report of the survivors of the Slime." The fight between these big shots, I still don't want to get involved. Thinking of this, he quickly lowered his head, took a few steps back, and pretended not to see anything.
Major General Smith was obviously stunned, and then looked very angry, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Henry viciously: "Lieutenant General Henry, this is the time of war, and it is inconvenient for me to refute your decision." When we defeat the Qing people, I will report your absurdity to Congress. Hum! After saying that, he left without looking back.
Only Henry was left sitting in his chair, his hands crossed, and the shadows cast by the lights obscured his face......
The sun has completely sunset below sea level, and night has arrived. The sea breeze whistled and swirled, accompanied by the sound of rattling waves. The Cantonese naval division had successfully returned to the port to rest, and the British warships had also returned to their supply points. The battlefield sea area with the sound of killing during the day was silent at this time.
The moon had risen, and the cold silver glow had sprinkled over the undulating sea level, which seemed to turn the waters into a strange silver. And at this time, at the bottom of the sea at a depth of dozens of meters below the surface of the sea, a long strip of rock finally began to change!!
The ethereal moonlight, which had been scattered on the surface of the sea, seemed to be pulled by a strange force, and it actually gathered together like a solid substance. It turned into a wisp of ribbon, one by one, heading towards the bottom of the sea. Then he plunged headlong into the rock that Zao Wushuang had turned into.
A large amount of silver moonlight was sucked into the bottom of the sea, heading towards the long rock "cocoon" where Zao Wushuang was.
If someone who is proficient in ancient Chinese Taoist classics or legends sees this scene at this time, they will definitely be so frightened that they can't speak!
Absorb the essence of moonlight, this is the ability that only monsters who really need to open their minds in ancient legends and stories can have!
But in other words, the soul and mind in the body of this poisonous snake are originally individuals. In a sense, there is no essential difference between it and a monster that opens up the mind.
This absorption of moonlight lasted for about a cup of tea, and finally stopped. And the long strip of rock actually continued to expand, and finally exploded with a bang, and the water splashed in all directions. Originally, all kinds of underwater creatures swimming around were scared and scurryed around, and the sediment on the bottom of the sea was also blown everywhere, making this area of water a little muddy.
And in the turbid water, you can see bursts of light flickering. One moment it's white, the next it's red. It's weird.
When the sediment was redeposited, it was discovered that a giant egg with a diameter of about two meters had appeared in the location of the blasted rock!!
The entire body of this giant egg is snow-white, and the eggshell has dense and complex blood-red patterns on it. With an ancient and vicissitudes of life, it seems that even the soul will be absorbed as long as one more look is taken. It's really weird and mysterious.
It was obvious that Zao Woushuang's body was now sleeping in this mysterious dome. He was clearly not dead, otherwise these visions would not have been possible......
Another hour passed. There was a sudden movement inside the dome, as if something was desperately struggling to break out of its shell. Immediately afterward, there was a literally clicking sound, and a large number of fine cracks appeared on the surface of the eggshell. The crack grew larger and larger, and finally the entire upper part of the dome shattered, and a large shadow flew out of the eggshell. Hovered to the bottom of the sea.
It's a big snake, almost five meters long from head to tail! Proportionally, the snake has a thin body and a triangular head - at first glance, it looks like a highly venomous snake. His eyes glowed blood-red.
A five-meter venomous snake? This is simply sensational! You must know that the size of venomous snakes is generally relatively small, and two meters is basically a super-large venomous snake. Now there is a five-meter-long poisonous snake.
The scales are dark and fine, layered on top of each other, as if they were poured from the hardest steel. There is a thrilling sense of danger. The most bizarre thing is that on both sides of the back of this venomous snake, which corresponds to seven inches, there are two small bulges, like a small sarcoma, the size of a thumb. In the middle of the two sarcomas there is a bright red line that extends from the head down the spine to the tail, which is very striking against the black scale armor.
This five-meter-long poisonous snake that just came out of the eggshell, who is it not Zhao Wushuang?!
Before, he was hit by a heavy artillery bombardment of a battleship on the Slime and sank to the bottom of the sea. But he didn't expect that heavy cannon would instead break up the two forces that were stalemate in his body and temporarily fuse together. So it led to a series of mutations. Zhao Wushuang's strength has been improved in all aspects, and his form has also undergone subtle changes.
"Haha! Lao Tzu is not dead, labor and management are still alive. And it's even stronger! Zhao Wushuang's heart was extremely comfortable, and he almost wanted to shout loudly.
Between the twists of the body, it swims back and forth in the sea like a black arrow. The speed is amazingly fast, reaching about 50 kilometers. You must know that the maximum speed of the three strongest third-class battleships in the British naval fleet that came to China this time is only 15 knots (about 24 kilometers per hour)! Zao Wou-shuang was now swimming twice as fast as the British army's fastest warship.
He swam quickly in the sea, feeling the strength of his muscles, as if he could smash a rock with his tail. Moreover, the fierce snake venom stored in the poison sac is obviously much more than before. At the same time, there is also an indescribable mysterious power, which is also slowly flowing in the body.
At this moment, Zhao Wushuang, whether it was the strength of his physical body, the venom of the snake, or the mysterious energy he possessed, had all been raised to a new stage.
He swam straight to the surface of the sea, revealing a triangular head of a hideous snake in the sound of the water. looked coldly at the sporadic light of the British fleet in the distance, and a sneer appeared in his heart: "British, the master is looking for you to settle the score." It's also a test of how strong I am now. ”
Then it turned into a black arrow and headed towards the British fleet, pulling a straight line of rapid progress on the water......
