Chapter 140: Response and Hunting
Lieutenant General Ghost Spider held eight knives and waited for Xia Qiu's arrival, intending to kill him at once.
But time passed second by second, and summer and autumn did not appear for a long time.
"Are you gone?"
Puzzled, the ghost spider slowly withdrew his sword, and then asked, "What's the leakage down there?" ”
"Lieutenant General, the bottom of the ship has been hit four times, there are three holes, two of which can be barely repaired, but two of them are in the same place, the holes are relatively large, five compartments are destroyed, buoyancy is destroyed, and the hull is already a little weightless over there." A colonel replied.
The length of the top battleship is long, and at the same time, the compartments are relatively large, and one compartment is almost the two compartments of a large battleship.
If a large battleship is hit, it will almost sink after two hits.
"We are now two-thirds of the way to Justice Island."
The ghost spider frowned, thought for a moment, and asked, "Colonel Harris, what was the closest island to here when we came?" How far away? ”
"The nearest is Savins Island, which is twenty-four nautical miles away." Colonel Harris hurriedly replied.
"If you go back against the wind, you can get to Savins Island in about six knots per hour, about four hours, using the outer wheel."
The ghost spider nodded, and then said, "Inform Rear Admiral Cormier and let him sail another top-tier warship to Savins Island." ”
Colonel Harris hurriedly asked, "Do you want it?" ”
Lieutenant General Ghost Spider said: "We will wait for them there, there is a distance of about 190 nautical miles from the G5 branch to Savins Island, if they use the outer wheel, they can go forward with all their might, they can almost hit 20 knots per hour, and they can reach Savins Island in ten hours." Just in time to set off again tomorrow morning. ”
Not far away, a brigadier general asked, "Your Excellency, are we going back?" ”
"That's right."
The ghost spider snorted coldly and said: "The remaining distance is about three hundred and eighty nautical miles, and with our speed, if the wind is downwind, it will be eight to ten knots, and it is estimated that it will take more than forty to fifty hours to arrive, and I alone cannot maintain constant vigilance." So we're going to go to Savins Island, and after joining up with Rear Admiral Cormier, we're going to Judicial Island with two warships.
The brigadier general couldn't help but ask, "Lieutenant General, are we too careful?" That sea king, after being injured by you, probably won't come again, right? ”
"That's not to be careless."
Vice Admiral Ghost Spider waved his hand and said: "The attack method of this sea king is a bit strange, and there are important people on the warship, and the case they committed has reached the ears of Lord Akainu, don't forget the relationship between the lord of the dark green city and Lord Akainu, the mission cannot be missed, we must be careful." ”
"Let's do it." The brigadier hurriedly ran to the bow of the ship and conveyed the order.
The ghost spider sat to the side and closed her eyes.
For the next three hours, he planned to stay here until he reached Savinth Island, and then go ashore to rest.
Under his order, the battleship slowly turned around and headed for the distant sea.
"How did you go back?"
Xia Qiu caught the battleship turning around in the distance and felt a little strange.
Planning to go back?
It stands to reason that the battleship was attacked by the Sea Kings, and the Sea Kings were injured and left, and the possibility of coming back is very small.
According to the sea tower stone under the naval warship, they should think that this was an accident, not an active attack.
How did you choose to go back?
But it took you twelve hours to come, and now the ship is wrecked, and you go back against the wind, I guess it will take more than thirty hours, right?
They must have chosen to go back thinking of themselves as a threat, thinking that they could sink the ship.
Thirty hours is a long journey, and even if the ghost spider is strong, it cannot remain vigilant at all times.
And on the way, he still has many opportunities to attack the naval warship, enough to sink the ship.
Therefore, they may not plan to return to the branch base, and after they go back, they will have to change ships and set off again, but there will be many ships that will depart.
So in that case, why can't the battleship come to them?
On the ocean of the great route, it is difficult to track each other, and the remaining personnel of the branch base may have the life card of the lieutenant general, and they can be found, and the two sides come and go one by one, and converge on the sea, which is about six hours.
Or go to an island and meet there.
It's okay to say the former, but if it's the latter.
Xia Qiu captured the magnetic force of the island on the return trip, and that magnetic force was encountered by himself, and it was estimated that it was only about twenty-five nautical miles away.
If the lieutenant general were to go there, it would take about five hours, or less.
Both are possible, but he can't let the lieutenant general return to the shore, so he can only choose the shortest distance and shorten the time a little longer.
It can't take more than four hours, or three hours, to sink the ship yourself.
"That's it."
Xia Qiu felt a little distressed, this time is not long, the ghost spider can always stay on the deck, if he wants to attack, he will be attacked.
He was decisive.
Xia Qiu has encountered many enemies, and all of them are very careless when dealing with themselves, treating themselves as ordinary sea kings.
Even if you are alert to yourself, your conjectures, whether it is strength or speed, will be greatly reduced.
The greatest contempt comes from wisdom.
The ghost spider was very cautious and decisive on the return trip, I don't know why it was so decisive, but it did put itself in a predicament.
Don't rush yet.
Xia Qiu did not attack immediately, but followed the battleship.
。。。
"What's going on up there?"
In the cage, the captain of the Fanged Pirates was a tall man about thirty years old, with a hideous face, and a snake circling up at his neck, the head of the snake was located on the left cheek, with a large mouth and spitting snake letters.
His hands were handcuffed with Hailou Shi, he frowned, and asked, "The hull of the ship trembled several times just now, and there was a lot of noise outside just now, what's going on?" ”
"Maybe it's been attacked!"
Next to him was a muscular young man with red hair, a burn scar on the left side of his face, and iron handcuffs on both hands and feet.
"It's good to be attacked, and we can take advantage of the chaos to escape." The tall man smirked.
"Captain, do you think it's possible?"
Not far away sat a green-haired girl, with a scorpion tattoo on her left arm, and handcuffs on both hands, and said boredly: "Who can attack a lieutenant general, and if the ship sinks, we will also die." ”
"Then let's die together."
The tall man snorted coldly and said, "Except for the legendary pirate golden lion in Impel Prison, no one has ever escaped from prison, and with our guilt, once we enter, we will never be able to come out." If that's the case, it's better to die. ”
Several other people listened and looked silent, but at this time, a voice came from outside, "Shut up for me." ”
A figure appeared in the doorway, glaring at them coldly.
"Got it."
The tall man retracted his body and stopped talking.
。。。
Beneath the surface of the sea, Xia Qiu closely followed the battleship.
Over time, Xia Qiu discovered a problem, the battleship did not go exactly in the direction it came, but moved towards another magnetic point.
In other words, they did intend to meet on the next island.
You can't let him land on the island, so you have to attack before he lands on the island.
Xia Qiu secretly decided in her heart, but she was still waiting, planning to delay as much time as possible within the time limit.
One reason is that he hopes that he can consume the physical strength of the Ghost Spider Lieutenant General, and his full vigilance will make him nervous. Wait until he relaxes, although the effect is minimal, but there can be a little bit of it.
Secondly, he is constantly eating in the sea, repairing his wounds through evolutionary energy.
So Xia and Autumn are still waiting, and the time passes little by little.
An hour later, Xia Qiu dived into the ocean to hunt for marine fish, and after eating some of them, heat currents appeared and the muscles began to heal.
Two hours later, Xia Qiu fed again, and the scales began to grow slowly, but not completely.
As for the bony plates and dorsal fins, the strength to eat is not enough to repair the injuries on their own.
The entire dorsal fin is broken, and it is estimated that it will not take three or four days to repair it by itself.
After two meals, another hour passed.
Xia Qiu was a little hungry in his stomach again, but this time, he didn't eat.
Save some stomach and go eat the navy.
Xia Qiu felt the increasing magnetic force in the distance, and knew that it was not too far from the destination, so he swung his body and rushed forward again.
。。。
"It's been three hours, Lieutenant General, why don't you go back and rest?" Not far away, Brigadier General Joe John came over and said.
"It's just over an hour, and wait." The ghost spider said in a cold tone, not leaving a step.
"Okay, then we'll wait with you." Brigadier Joe John and Colonel Harris were on their side, not daring to leave the deck.
On this ship, in addition to the lieutenant general Ghost Spider, there was a brigadier general, two colonels, in addition to this, two lieutenant colonels and two majors.
Brigadier Johan is his men, and he must carry it with him on every voyage, and he is good enough to fight the enemy.
These two colonels, in the past, there was only one, who was responsible for daily vigilance, but now they are responsible for guarding the Fanged Pirates, although some of them are handcuffed by Hailou Stone, some are handcuffed by chains, plus the cage made of Hailou Stone, but they still have to be guarded by special personnel.
The people around him are still on alert, but most of the people's spirits have relaxed, even the ghost spider is no exception, he does not maintain the domineering of seeing and hearing at all times, but has already been lifted, otherwise the domineering of seeing and hearing will be exhausted.
But at this moment, the hull of the ship roared.
The ghost spider's figure flashed, and he didn't have time to get the six knives next to him, so he came to the side of the ship, slashed out with two knives, and flew out of the chopping waves, hitting the black shadow at the bottom of the sea.
Whoosh whoosh.
One by one, the waves flew out, but the black shadow sank and disappeared to the bottom of the sea.
Sure enough, it came to attack.
"Give me the sword."
After the ghost spider finished speaking, a subordinate handed him six swords, which he controlled with his hair, and then his body became larger, and his ass became a spider's ass.
He took the other six swords, controlled them with his hair, and then used his domineering aura again, waiting quietly.
But this time, another period of time passed, and the other party did not come.
"The location of the attack is the place of the last attack, which has just been covered with a wooden plank, but a big hole has been knocked out next to it, not only has the position just made up for it broken, but the hole is larger, which has affected the buoyancy, and the speed of the ship has slowed down again." A major came up to report the situation.
"Damn."
The ghost spider's expression was a little gloomy, and now the speed of the ship has slowed down again, it could have arrived in an hour, but now it will be delayed for a while.
And this sea king attacked again, that is, for three hours, he followed him.
Not only that, but he also attacked the location of the impact, as if he was deliberately trying to widen the hole.
Small openings can be repaired, and have less impact on the buoyancy balance, but large openings, with more access, are several compartments at once, which is a greater threat.
So this sea king is very smart.
"Auston, when he strikes again, you jump down and fight him."
The ghost spider suddenly said coldly into the distance.
"What?"
Brigadier General Auston was slightly stunned, looked at the ghost spider, and asked, "You asked me to fight him, but I may not ......"
The existence that the ghost spider lieutenant general can't kill with three blows, and the possibility of defeating himself is a little small.
"He's been wounded, I've attacked him three times, and he's slashed so many knives that even if he's still alive, he won't last long." The ghost spider said, "When he comes back later, I will slash and aggravate his injuries." And you go down against him, and even if you cannot defeat him, hold him back, and I will attack him from above. ”
"Subordinates obey."
Auston immediately agreed, Lieutenant General Ghost Spider was right, three attacks, and then another time, no matter how strong he is, he is just a sea king, I am afraid that he is also on the verge of death, and when the time comes, he will go to the sea and have a chance to kill him.
Killing him is a great achievement.
Alston found two harpoons directly, he was good at using a long sword, but in the water, spearguns were more suitable.
He stood in the middle of the deck, waiting quietly, and the ghost spider waited for fifteen minutes, but he didn't arrive, so he could only unravel the domineering.
He is good at two-color domineering, but the domineering is relatively weak, and the domineering is limited, he wants to expand his exploration range to the entire ship, and he can't hold on for too long.
In the blink of an eye, another ten minutes passed.
Rumble.
The hull of the ship trembled, and the ghost spider leapt to the side of the ship, and eight knives slashed out at the same time.
"Eight Knife Streams, Cobwebs."
Eight chopping waves shot out, forming a spider web, shooting into the seawater and hitting Xia Qiu's body.
Puff puff puff.
Xia Qiu's back was broken again, the bony plate was completely broken, and the second dorsal fin was also broken by the hard spine.
In addition, counting the attack just now, Xia Qiu's scales were broken again, the muscles of his body exploded, and the position of his head, the wound was already deep into the bones.
It hurts.
Xia Qiu felt a sharp pain in his head, but he endured it again, he had already hit it six times. Two large holes, two small holes, the speed of the hull decreases again and again, the sea water continues to pour in, and the buoyancy balance is close to being destroyed.
Just one more big hole is punched out, and the ship will slowly sink.
Xia Qiu gritted his teeth and dived down.
But at this time, Auston's figure on the deck flashed, and he came to the side of the ghost spider, stepped on the boat gang, held the harpoon in his hand, bent his legs, and ejected his body directly.
Rumble.
Auston threw himself into the water and rushed towards the shadows dodging downward, his harpoons stabbing down with both hands.
"Die."
Auston's harpoon stabbed Xia Qiu's head, stabbing directly into the wound, breaking open the muscles and stabbing the bones with a crisp sound.
"Next time, I'll shoot you in the head."
Auston drew his speargun, intending to attack again.
But Xia Qiu had already dived down, and with a shake of his body and a kick of his legs, he was about to pounce on Xia Qiu again, just about to raise his harpoon.
The next moment, a huge tentacle was drawn.
Bang.
Auston felt the black shadow attack, raised his harpoon to resist, and was drawn the harpoon, the force came, and his body froze, but he was not injured.
"What is this?"
Auston couldn't see what was attacking in the dark night at all, and was a little surprised by the sudden attack.
In summer and autumn, they dive down and distance themselves.
"Want to run?"
Auston snorted coldly and chased after him again, but at this moment, Xia Qiu's body suddenly twisted, and then waved his front paws.
I'm not diving to escape, I'm going to create a gap and turn around and attack you.
Xia Qiu's huge claws were drawn directly at Auston, who raised his harpoon and crossed it to resist.
Bang.
The claw landed on the harpoon, snapping it off and then slamming it into his body.
Bang.
Auston's upper body was hit by a claw, his head exploded, his sternum shattered, his spine flexed, and his body fell backwards.
Click.
Xia Qiu turned around and bit his body, diving downward.
The strength is good, either a colonel or a brigadier general, eat him, and your own strength can be increased.
Thank you for the food.
Xia Qiu closed his mouth, bit it down, and swallowed it in his stomach.
