Chapter 102: Octopus Monster's Attack
While Xu Feng was drinking afternoon coffee with Juan Ponce de León, a sailor ran in in a panic to report. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Captain, come out and have a look! A large number of bodies were found in the sea ahead. ”
"Floating corpses? What's going on? Walk! Check it out! Juan Ponce de León and Xu Feng walked out of the room together and hurried towards the bow of the boat.
On the sea ahead, countless corpses floated, and the deaths were extremely tragic. Many of the corpses were only half cut off, and their hands were still lying on a piece of wood, staring at each other.
Juan Ponce de León ordered the salvage of a relatively intact body for a closer examination.
"Mr. Xu Feng, what do you think?"
"Judging by the state of the body, it was dead for at least a week or so. The surface of the corpse has begun to decompose. I was curious about their pupils, as if they had experienced something terrible before they died. Captain de Leon, look at this man, only there are marks of a cut on his neck, which must have been injured by the debris of the ship. The other floating corpses appeared to have uneven wounds, most of them. It should have been attacked by marine life, and the ship died after it was destroyed. ”
"What kind of creature? Shark? Juan Ponce de León asked.
"It can't be a shark! Sharks are social creatures, and if they did, there wouldn't be even a carcass here! Xu Feng rejected Juan Ponce de León's view.
"What's that?"
"Whatever it is, Captain De Leon, tell your men to be careful! This should be the territory of some kind of sea overlord, otherwise there would not be so many corpses left. Xu Feng thought for a moment and reminded that after so many people died, the smell of blood would definitely attract some murderous carnivorous creatures, but here it was the opposite, and that was a possibility: other sea creatures were afraid and did not dare to enter this sea area to hunt.
The wind is blowing!
Xu Feng stood at the bow of the boat and narrowed his eyes.
"Captain! You see! A sailor on deck exclaimed.
Xu Feng looked over, and large blisters appeared on the calm sea, gurgling, as if the entire ocean had been boiled.
"Get ready for battle!" Juan Ponce de León also had a premonition that something was wrong and ordered all the sailors to prepare for battle.
Suddenly, a thick purple tentacle stretched out from the sea, rolled up a sailor standing by the side of the ship, and then dragged it into the sea and disappeared!
The miserable cry of the sailor terrified everyone.
"That~that~ What's that?" Some sailors saw the huge tentacles and stammered in exclamation.
Oh yes, octopus monster! Just looking at the degree of that tentacle, it is absolutely a large octopus with a body size of more than 10 meters. Xu Feng is very contradictory now, he can see that there are no masters on the two ships at this time, and the only one who can deal with this monster is Wang Xiaohua, but Xu Feng is unwilling to expose Wang Xiaohua's strength, and intends to use her as his hole card and save it as a last resort to reverse the situation.
"It's underwater! Attack! I don't know who shouted, and all the guns fired at the sea.
A group of ****, which will only anger it even more. Sure enough, the octopus monster reappeared, directly stretched out several tentacles, and dragged several sailors on the deck into the sea again.
The fire hammer hitting it can only be regarded as an itch, and it may not make this monster break its skin.
"Tell Spain 2 to shoot underwater!" Juan Ponce de León also saw that the fire bolt could not do any harm to the monster, so he ordered another ship to fire at the bottom of the sea.
Xu Feng glanced at Juan Ponce de León and didn't say anything. For this captain's order, maybe others couldn't see what was going on, but Xu Feng saw through it at a glance. Fire? Just kidding! Let's not talk about whether the artillery can hit the octopus monster, even if it does, it will not cause fatal injuries to mollusks like octopuses.
The cannonball of the 14th century is just an iron ball, not like modern weapons, what tracking, exploding, just relying on the push of the gunpowder pack, the range is limited, coupled with the resistance of the sea, he~ There is a lot of catty in this order.
Whether he can kill the octopus monster Xu Feng is not sure, but he will definitely pull the hatred to that boat, this Nima is an abandoned car to protect the handsome! Juan Ponce de León is indeed a big man, and this trick of cutting off children and grandchildren is used without blinking.
"Boom, boom!" The shells brought up violent waves. The Spanish took advantage of this to move away from the area just now.
As expected, Xu Feng's boat was not attacked by the octopus again. They could all clearly see that there was a huge shadow swimming towards another ship at the bottom of the sea.
The tragedy reappeared again, the tragedy that was originally on this ship was changed to another ship, and it continued to be staged, and the oozing screams passed through the vast sea and reached Xu Feng's ears.
"Sail! Raise the sails! Get out of here at full speed! Juan Ponce de León didn't even look at his men, and ordered the sailors to leave at full speed.
In the end, the sailors on the Spanish saw the most memorable scene of their lives: a giant star octopus with a body length of more than 15 meters, smashing the big ship in two with its tentacles, and then dragging it into the sea. The sea was full of sailors struggling for help, and the sea that had been dyed red, like purgatory on earth.
……
The sailboat was still moving on, and all the sailors on board fell silent. I don't know if it's to remember their former teammates, or if they feel glad that they can escape death from the mouth of that big monster.
This is only the fourth day of driving north.
Watching Juan Ponce de León constantly compare the charts and change the route, Xu Feng guessed in his heart, did he know the specific location of the Fountain of Youth? This is interesting, because it is recorded in later texts that Juan Ponce de León did not receive the fountain of immortality until his death. So why is he sailing like he has a purpose?
"Captain de Leon, with all due respect, can you tell me where the next stop of the Spanish is?" In the end, Xu Feng still planned to ask first, it was not his character to let it go in such an unclear way.
"Uh~ Let's go visit an old friend first, who, like you, has a deep study of the Fountain of Youth." Juan Ponce de León's answer seemed vague, much perfunctory.
An imperceptible coldness flashed in Xu Feng's eyes. Juan Ponce de León has a problem! And probably for yourself! Oh yes! He and he can be regarded as an unknown life, why does he have to calculate himself? Even with more than 100 lives under his command, a ruthless guy who sells what he says, Xu Feng instantly raised his vigilance to the maximum, and Juan Ponce de León was also listed as his most dangerous enemy.
