Chapter 217: Juvenile Sea Serpent

After four or five hours of busyness, the ship was finally repaired, and since Balgan had not yet woken up, Ivanov was in charge of the pilot, and judging by the route on the chart, it would take several hours to return to the intended route.

These few hours of sailing made everyone fearful.

Originally, it was nothing, mainly because Ivanov often said that there was a large unidentified object moving in the sea, and at one moment he said that it seemed to be coming towards the ship, and at another time he said that something seemed to be traveling with the ship......

Every time Ivanov reported the situation, Bai Qi, Lao Zhang, and Spini would run to the deck and wait, but the result was that Bai was nervous.

The last few people simply waited on the deck and instructed Spinny to practice martial arts......

Returning to the established course, Ivanov finally breathed a sigh of relief, he was under a lot of pressure, afraid of being attacked by large sea mutant creatures while driving, and afraid to take on this heavy responsibility.

Looking at the charts, we are already approaching the Franz Josef Land, and if we keep the speed, we can reach Novaya Zemlya in about three days, and then we will be able to enter the Yenisei in three or four days, and then we will no longer have to face the dangers of the sea.

Before he could leave the cab, a very depressed image appeared in his mind, an unidentified object with a very exaggerated body length approaching from behind.

"Unknown creatures are approaching! Alert! Ivanov grabbed the microphone and shouted.

Bai Qi and the three of them could only get nervous again.

Looking into the distance, you can see something moving a few meters below the surface of the sea, the speed is not too fast, the ripples are obvious, and the size is definitely not small.

After waiting for a long time, it didn't approach, but just followed from a distance.

Nowitzki also came to the deck, and then looked through the telescope, only to see the unidentified creature flattened, long, ribbon-shaped. The base of the dorsal fin is very long, the anterior dorsal fin is filamentous, like the crown of the head, and the pelvic fin becomes a pair of long fin bars, like a long hat band.

"Sea Serpent!" Nowitzki said with certainty.

"Sea serpents? Is it similar to a water snake? "Bai Qi has no idea about the creatures in the sea.

Nowitsky shook his head, "It's the emperor ribbon fish, a deep-sea fish, the emperor ribbon fish, also known as Brunhilty, commonly known as the Dragon Palace Messenger, the White Dragon King, the Dragon King Fish, is one of the radial-finned fish of the Moon Fish order Emperor Ribbon Fish." Generally in the tropical deep sea, it is the longest bony fish in the ocean, with a bright silver body, red pelvic fins, paddle-shaped, dorsal fins are also red, very long, starting from the top of the head like a mane crown. It is rarely seen on the surface of the water, and some people occasionally see it, thinking that it is a big snake in the sea, so it is called a sea snake. ”

Bai Qi combined the two daggers, controlled them with telekinesis, floated above his head, rotated rapidly, and maintained a state where he could attack at any time, "With fish?" I can't, it can turn the sky upside down! Come on! ”

"Emperor hairtail fish carnivorous fish, they have a temperament

Ferocious, and there is also cannibalism of the same kind. Its diet includes a variety of small and medium-sized fish, squid, krill, crabs, etc. Despite its huge body and ugly face, the king hairtail swims very slowly, and does not have the sharp teeth that are extremely lethal like the hairtail, usually just floating head up and tail down on the bottom of the sea, and inhaling when the prey swims past its mouth, the hard upper and lower jaws are enough to bite the crustaceans. The mouth of the emperor ribbon fish is different from that of the hairtail, it is very small but has two very sharp teeth, and when it sees the prey within its attack range, it shrinks its body, and the fish swims to it, and it pops out like a spring to bite the prey. After the end of the world, they can only be made more ferocious! Look at this length, it is more than 20 meters, it must not be easy to mess with! Nowitzki didn't want to let Bai Qi underestimate the enemy, and expressed the ferocity of the emperor as much as possible.

After waiting for a long time, the sea snake showed no signs of attacking, as if it was playing with a boat, accelerating it to speed up, and slowing down to slow it down.

"It's not a thing to hang behind like this, so we can't live in peace, and I don't know when we get tired of playing and may give us a surprise attack." Lao Zhang frowned.

Now Balgan is still unconscious, unable to come out to support the battle.

Lao Zhang searched for a while, saw a few lifebuoys tied to the fence, went directly to untie a few, threw them into the sea, and then jumped out, landed steadily on the lifebuoy floating on the sea, holding a spear in one hand, the tip of the gun downward, behind his back.

Looking at Lao Zhang's majestic appearance, Bai Qi longed in his heart, and followed his example and jumped down......

"Poof."

Bai Qi landed in the sea, fluttered for a long time, grabbed a lifebuoy, looked a little embarrassed, but at least the person was safe.

Spiny and Ivanov untied more lifebuoys and threw them into the water one by one to help Lao Zhang and Bai Qi establish more footholds.

The emperor ribbon fish was full of curiosity about the two people who had landed in the sea, and tentatively got closer.

Lao Zhang pondered for a long time, how to attack, this emperor ribbon fish has not completely exposed the water, has been a few meters underwater, if it is pasted to attack, it will inevitably enter the sea.

Finally made up his mind, Lao Zhang still borrowed his strength on the lifebuoy, jumped out in the direction of the emperor ribbon fish, splashed a small splash, and drilled into the sea.

This made Bai Qi startled, on land, Lao Zhang's combat effectiveness is undoubtedly very strong, but if he enters the sea, it is really difficult to say.

Lao Zhang didn't blindly enter the sea, he tried to release the ability, wrapped around the body, which can isolate the seawater, and at the same time can also wrap a small amount of oxygen, combined with the time of holding his breath, there is no problem in staying in the sea for a while.

As soon as he entered the sea, the huge resistance made Lao Zhang very uncomfortable, and he couldn't exert his strength at all, if it wasn't for the spear in his hand that was sharp enough, but

I can't even pierce the scales on the back of this royal ribbon fish.

A shot pierced, and the emperor ribbon fish was in pain, twisting his body to shake off the old Zhang on his back.

Lao Zhang grabbed the spear and slowly exerted his strength, stabbing deeper and deeper.

Sensing the danger, the emperor ribbon fish dived directly and swam towards the bottom of the sea.

Dozens of meters deeper, Lao Zhang felt that the pressure was getting stronger and more uncomfortable, and he couldn't effectively kill the emperor ribbon fish, so he could only pull out his spear and swim towards the sea.

Seeing Lao Zhang coming back, Bai Qi breathed a sigh of relief, "I said Lao Zhang, you can't be safe, why do you go into the water!" ”

Lao Zhang heard the concern in Bai Qi's words, "I know it in my heart." Anyway, shouldn't you take the initiative to fight in this situation? If I don't do it for a long time, I can only let my old man go on an adventure. ”

After a little fun, he returned to the boat, and although he did not kill the royal ribbon fish, at least drove it away, and after a while, Ballegan woke up.

After eating something, everyone also told him what had happened during this time, and when he said that the emperor ribbon fish, Ballegan frowned, "More than 20 meters long?" ”

"yes, there's another name, what's it called? Oh yes, sea serpents! Bai Qi said.

"Legend has it that every time a sea serpent appears, there is an earthquake or a tsunami. Therefore, in most legends, the appearance of the sea serpent is a harbinger of an ominous event. For thousands of years, the sea serpent has been like a huge shadow over the hearts of all seafarers. To this day, it is still referred to as the messenger of the devil. Do you think, such a creature will be in that state of ignorance? Before the end of the world, an adult sea snake had to be nearly 20 meters long, and you can see that it is just that long, this is the end of the world, the mutated adult sea snake cannot only be so big, I suspect that you are meeting a juvenile sea snake. ”

"Boss, if it was a juvenile sea snake that was injured by Lao Zhang and ran away, wouldn't that mean that there are bigger guys lurking not far away......" Ivanov said.

Balgan nodded.

Anyway, this is close to the island area, the bottom of the sea is not deep, generally speaking, super-large marine mutant creatures do not like such an environment, only the bottom of the sea is deep enough, is their world, but whether it is a whale shark or a sea snake, they have also come to the sea, and the environment of the sea is not the environment they should inhabit at all, after the end of the world, the characteristics of the creatures have also changed, can not be seen with common sense. The knowledge about the sea can only be used as a reference, although it is not that the deep sea area will be relatively safe, it is only relative, dangerous, who can say for sure.

The voyage for a day and a night was nothing serious, during which I encountered a circle of mutated returnees, each of which had a turtle shell about two meters in diameter, and the clanging impact on the ship was not large, and it did not cause anything

Damage, but it's really annoying, I don't care about them, I think they hit it for a while and give up, until I crash an external propeller, which makes Ballegan angry.

All the people came to the side of the boat and stabbed them with long fish spears, but what was surprising was that the big turtle shell was extremely hard, and Lao Zhang could barely pierce it after infusing his spear with his ability.

In the end, Balekan cooperated with Bai Qi.

Ballegan unleashes his ability to freeze an area, immobilizes a few mutated returnees, and manipulates the dagger to attack, even if the returnee shrinks the bag, it is useless, the dagger follows Zun in, stirring back and forth, and can easily kill them.

Soon, the bloody smell of the large sea water was diffused, and Lao Zhang was a little curious about the extremely hard turtle shells, so he fished up the corpses of several mutated returnees, and it took a lot of effort to fade off the complete turtle shells.

The corpses and bloody gas of the returnees of the water conservancy have attracted all kinds of mutated fish, and schools of fish have come from nowhere, these guys were a common species of sea fish on the table before the end of the world, and now they have become fierce hunters, and after mutation, they have grown a mouth full of fangs......

The last to finish was a group of blacktip sharks, which startled the people on the boat when they first arrived, each of which was nearly 3 meters long, swimming back and forth with its mouth wide open, and could swallow a school of snakefish each time.

Looking at the worried old Zhang and Bai Qi, Ballegan explained, "This blacktip shark, also known as the black-winged true shark, a piece of black on the dorsal fin and tail fin is their representative feature, they generally inhabit the reef area or offshore area, here near the island, it is not strange to be able to see them, although this shark is fierce, but rarely cause serious harm to humans, since 1959, the international shark attack archives have only recorded 11 times when this shark bites humans, compared to the larger white shark, etc., it is completely two concepts." Their food is also some fish, shrimp, squid and the like, looking at their appearance, there is no intention of attacking ships, and in general, they do not attack targets larger than them. ”
