Chapter 32: The Great Monster?
Zhang Shun's boat was a white 'colored' fishing boat, and ten people stepped on this small motor boat, and the hull of the boat fell into the sea very deeply, which seemed to be a little reluctant to carry so many people. It's also slower. Fortunately, the distance of that small island is not too far, Zhang Shun said, at this speed, it should be able to reach it in two hours.
At this time, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, the weather was still fine, and the sea was calm and calm. This made the people who went to the mysterious island feel a little relieved. But Lu Hua was an exception, he had been standing on the side of the ship, looking down at the sea, his expression was grim and nervous.
Hang Yi noticed Lu Hua's nervous expression, walked up to him, and asked, "What are you worried about, sea monster?" β
Lu Hua looked at him: "Do you think it's not worth worrying about?" β
Hang Yi shrugged his shoulders: "I don't know, after all, it's just a rumor from the fishermen." Do you believe that what they are seeing is really some unknown creature and not a whale or something? β
"I think the fishermen are more experienced than us, and they can tell if they're seeing whales or not." Lu Hua said uneasily, "I have seen many incidents of sea monsters attacking ships in books before, and the true 'sexuality' of some of them is doubtful. But one thing is true - during World War II, a British Navy warship sailed to the waters of St. Helena Island, and was suddenly attacked by some mysterious huge sea creatures, a powerful force dragged the whole warship to the depths of the sea, and after a rush of sea 'waves' fell, the sea became calm again - the most reactive sailors on the warship jumped into the sea in time to witness this spectacle. Later, they claimed that the moment they fell into the water, they saw an 'unimaginable behemoth' emerge from the sea, a species they had never seen before. β
These words couldn't help but make Hang Yi's heart palpitate, he observed the sea surface for a while, and said, "What if we really encounter a sea monster?" β
"One can only pray that it is not interested in our little boat. Think about it, even a warship can be towed to the bottom of the sea in an instant, and if this small ship is attacked, I'm afraid we won't even have time to react. Lu Hua said worriedly.
Hang Yi imagined that scene and shuddered. At the same time, he remembered some other things, and whispered to Lu Hua: "You also heard it just now, Zhang Shun said that all strange things have only happened recently. That is, after we become superpowers. So will the so-called 'sea monsters', and the fishermen who disappeared on uninhabited islands, ......"
"Something to do with someone in Class 13?" Lu Hua said, and then shook his head. "To be honest, I was thinking about this just now. But it would be far-fetched to say that these incidents were related to someone in our class. First of all, can you imagine a person who writes the word 'sea monster' on a blank piece of paper when choosing a superpower? In addition, even if this person has some kind of superpower that we can't believe in can't be believed, how could he or she go to an isolated island in the East China Sea, 108,000 miles away from Congzhou City, to attack those fishermen? What's the point? β
Hang Yi thought for a while and said, "Maybe these things have something to do with the 'Old Gods'. β
"It's the same hint we got. The whole island and everything around it has something to do with the old gods. Lu Hua agreed with Hang Yi's statement. His eyes never left the surface of the sea for a moment.
Lu Hua's slightly nervous attention to the sea surface has affected Hang Yi. He frowned and said, "I don't understand, what's the point of you staring at the sea all the time?" If the Kraken is as powerful as you say, and can overturn or devour the ship in an instant, you will find it too late. β
"Anyway, it's better than nothing. Even if you can find it a few seconds earlier, it is better than being attacked directly. β
"Then should I remind everyone to be vigilant and be ready for danger at any time."
"Ji Kairui is ready for this." Lu Hua said, "From the moment he got on the boat, he has been guarding the side of the boat on the other side, observing the sea like me. β
Hang Yi glanced over - sure enough, Ji Kairui stood close to the bow of the ship, staring intently at the surrounding sea. Hang glanced at the small cabin again and again, and found that Lei Ao had actually taken out all the playing cards, and was beckoning Han Feng and them to play cards. Hang Yi rolled his eyes and secretly sighed, although Ji Kairui is a man of few words and not very easy to approach, he is indeed much more reliable.
Maybe he was so vigilant to protect Xinna at all times? Hang Yi's mood became complicated. Of course, he wanted Sina to be guarded as closely as possible. But shouldn't you be the one who performs this duty?
Either way, he doesn't plan to lose to Ji Kairui. Hang Yi didn't plan to return to the cabin and joined the ranks of monitoring the sea.
After sailing for more than an hour, Xin Na, Mi Xiaolu and Sun Yuchen walked out of the cabin together. Xin Na walked to Hang Yi's side first and said, "With such a strong wind, why don't you stay outside and sit in for a while?" β
As long as he heard Xinna's caring greetings, Hang Yi felt extremely warm. He smiled and said, "It's okay, I like to see the sea." β
Sun Yuchen knew that Hang Yi didn't tell the truth: "You guys met a sea monster on the embankment, right?" β
"Ah, sea monsters...... Are you really worried about encountering sea monsters? Sina asked.
Suddenly, they heard Jing Xiaoran's exclamation behind them, and several people turned around, only to see Jing Xiaoran coming out of the cabin excitedly pointing to an island in front of him and shouting: "Look at it, it's such a beautiful island!" β
Hang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and looked in the direction that Jing Xiaoran pointed, and a lush island came into view. At the top of the island is a lighthouse-like building, surrounded by chic dwellings and several fishing boats moored on the beach. Hang Yi noticed that in this sea area, except for their ship, there were no more ships sailing on the sea.
Zhang Shun, who was at the bow of the boat, said while driving the fishing boat: "This is the Mouse Wolf Lake Island, which is the closest inhabited island to the uninhabited island, and we can reach our destination in half an hour at most." β
The goal is getting closer, and the people in the cabin can't keep their minds at ease. Lei Ao, Han Feng, and Mi Xiaolu all walked to the deck and the side of the ship. Strange to say, with the vigilance and vigilance of everyone, the sky has also become 'gloomy' and treacherous, and the sky was clear a few minutes ago, but now the storm has changed abruptly. The clear blue sky seemed to be covered with a black curtain, thick fog and dark clouds, and the turquoise sea suddenly turned into a vast black wilderness as far as the eye could see.
There was no doubt that everyone was nervous, and Zhang Shun comforted himself and the passengers on the ship: "Don't worry, the sea is like this, if you say that you will change your face...... Don't be afraid. β
"Is there a storm coming?" Mi Xiaolu asked.
"I don't know, it's possible. However, it may just be a temporary fog on the sea, and it may be better after a while......"
"It's not just the fog, it's dark clouds, it's dark, something is wrong." Ji Kairui reminded everyone, "Protect those who are not capable of fighting, and go into a state of alert." β
Ji Kairui's words surprised Zhang Shun inexplicably: "Battle...... Combat ability? You guys...... Who is it? β
"Not an enemy anyway." Ji Kairui said, "Concentrate on driving the boat, don't worry about this." β
At this time, Lu Hua, who had been holding on to the railing to monitor the sea surface, turned around and squatted down with a blue face. Hang Yi walked over and asked, "What's the matter, Lu Hua?" β
"I ...... It seems to be seasick. β
"If you stare at the sea for a long time, and the wind blows for so long, of course you will get seasick. Han Feng, let's take Lu Hua to the cabin. β
"But what if something happens?" Lu Hua stroked his 'chest' and said with difficulty.
"We can handle it. In this way, I asked Xinna, Jing Xiaoran, and Xiaomi to stay with you in the cabin, and if anything happens, you will protect them with a defensive wall. Hang Yi said.
"Okay."
Hang Yi called Mi Xiaolu and Jing Xiaoran over, but he didn't see where Xin Na was. Looking left and right, he saw Xinna standing on the side of the boatβwhere Lu Hua was standing just nowβholding on to the railing, poking her head out and looking down.
"Xina, danger!" Hang Yi ran over and grabbed Xinna's arm, "Don't go out like this!" β
Xin Na turned her head and looked at Hang Yi with a pale face: "I just saw something in the sea." β
"What's that?"
Xina shook her head in fear: "I don't know, the sky is too dark, the sea is black, and that thing is also black, so I can't see clearly." All I know is a behemoth. β
Everyone gathered over, and Sun Yuchen said uneasily, "Could it be that the sea monster really appeared?" β
"Could it be a whale?" Han Feng asked.
"No, it can't be a whale, I see that the creature's back is not smooth, it is a bit like ...... Alligator. Xina said.
"But how can there be crocodiles in the sea?" Jing Xiaoran said in disbelief. She clasped her arms tightly around her body, looking terrified.
"No, there are crocodiles in the sea, such as the bay crocodile. But this crocodile lives in Southeast Asia and India, and has never heard of a bay crocodile in the waters of our country. Moreover, the size of the bay crocodile is only a few meters long at most, so it will not be a 'behemoth'......," Lu Hua said.
"So, it's really a sea ......"
Before Jing Xiaoran finished speaking, the hull of the boat was suddenly hit hard by something, and the fishing boat tilted uncontrollably to the left more than forty degrees! Everyone on the boat fell to the ground in amazement, and Jing Xiaoran failed to grab anyone or anything, and was thrown out directly. She let out a scream of terror as she was about to fall into the terrifying black depths of the sea.
A lightning-like figure 'shot' out, one hand grabbed Jing Xiaoran's arm steadily like an eagle's claw, soared into the air, flew into the air several meters high, and then slowly landed, 'handing' Jing Xiaoran' to Hang Yi like a fledgling, and said, "Protect her, I'll go to the air to investigate!" β
Hang Yi firmly grasped Jing Xiaoran, and the scene just now scared him into a daze. Fortunately, Lei Ao reacted quickly and acted quickly, otherwise once Jing Xiaoran fell into the water, the consequences would be unimaginable.
At this time, Lei Ao flew in the air at a height of nearly ten meters, watching the movement on the sea with his eyes wide open. As long as you see an abnormality, you are ready to take action at any time. But the sea was dark and oppressive, visibility was extremely low, and there were no monsters to see undulating. A few minutes later, the fishing boat restarted, and after a long distance of travel, Lei Ao landed on deck.
Zhang Shun was already shocked that there was no one on the ground, the impact just now almost destroyed his ship, and the scene he witnessed almost ruined his worldview. He pointed at Lei Ao and shouted, "You...... Who the hell are you? It can fly! β
"Superman." Lei Ao raised his eyebrows at him, "And it's not just me, it's all the people in this boat." β
Hang Yi and Xin Na didn't have time to care about the stunned Zhang Shun, they walked up to Lei Ao and asked, "How is it?" Did you find anything in the air? β
Lei Ao shook his head and said, "No, maybe that monster got into the sea." β
Xinna was stunned and said, "The back I saw at first was, not an exaggeration, no smaller than an adult whale. How did it disappear so quickly? β
"It means that although the monster is huge, it is agile." Ji Kairui walked over and said, "But it's strange, such a huge monster can only make the same level of attack just now, and then give up." β
"You think the impact was too 'gentle'?" Hang Yi asked.
"Don't you think? It's like it just accidentally bumped into us when it was passing by. Ji Kairui said.
"Maybe that's the case?"
"I'm not as naΓ―ve as you would have thought it was a coincidence or a chance encounter. It seems to me that the impact just now means a warning, a threat and a provocation. β
"Something is trying to stop us from going to the island?" Hang Yi guessed.
"If you really want to 'stop', then the sea monster won't be so easy to go. At the very least, overturn our ship and deal with a few people who are not capable of fighting. But it did not do so, and it was suspicious. "This matter is starting to get confusing." β
Hang Yi and Xin Na looked at each other, and the feelings in their hearts were indescribable. At this time, Zhang Shun, who was driving the boat, turned his head and said to them: "We have arrived, and the uninhabited island is ahead." β
