19. Wild Dance of Fish and Dragons
"It was the voice, it was the siren that attracted the dragon!"
"Damn it!"
"Gotta find a way to shut him down."
"What about Rong Jitong? What about monkeys? ”
The ship sailed on the vast sea, the dark yellow water reflected the strange smoke, the waterfall formed a sky-sweeping momentum through the whole space, in the sea, under the water, the black shadow swam around our ship, sometimes bursting out of the water, intermingling and making a sonorous sound. From time to time, the muddy water was whipped, making a muffled sound of explosion. The sound resonates with the rushing water of the waterfall. In the vast waters, the dragon peeked out of the water and looked in the direction of our ship, but it was only a glance and soon the dragon suddenly moved.
And the dragon actually dragged a long chain on its tail. I realized that the dragon had come out of that man-made lake, and that the snake egg in the ebony was actually a dragon egg. It was also back then, that it pushed the huge tripod out of the river floor and exposed it to the river.
"Come here, meet the impact! Hold firm. I shouted.
The distance is indented little by little. Everything changed too quickly, but fortunately, the dragon turned over and stood upright on the sea with the surge of the current, after being less than a hundred meters away from us.
Little by little, the water seeped down its scales, and suddenly, it shook its body and the sea water fell like raindrops.
Dragon..... Dragon...... My brain is really getting a little convulsive.
"Damn, are you crazy?" Kadokoshi shone his flashlight at it, watching the huge dragon rise from the water.
"Dragon." I shouted.
All the light was focused in the air, and the dragon's body was clearly reflected in my pupils, the slender and narrow body, the scales were as brilliant as gold, and the water stains brought out of the sea turned into trickles along the lines of the scales, which seemed to me to be like a legendary mirage, which often mirages on the coast or at the mouth of a large river, and would meet people in the movies, and so on.
But compared to the species in film and television works, this dragon is a little less domineering, because the length of its head is not proportional to its body at all, I craned my neck and sat on the ground looking at the guy in mid-air, the mouth part alone accounted for half of the head, and it was not like the mouth like a horse and the eyes like a crab as described in the book. But it was like the mouth of a snake, and at the front jaw of the mouth hung many hook-like scales, which were not long but sharp as knives, and above them were a pair of nostrils the size of a bull's nose, which opened and closed very much between breaths, and in the middle of the nostrils there was a crack that opened from the back of the head to the front of him.
I looked down its face, there was a small hole on each side of the jaw, I don't know what it was for, anyway, it was not a storage place for its teeth, the dragon closed its lips in mid-air and I didn't have a chance to see its teeth clearly, but I could see it in the light, since the moment it surfaced, the two holes in the corners of its mouth kept seeping out, at first it was like a pillar, and finally it slowly turned into dripping water beads.
"His target is not us, it's the waterfall." The woman came over and said beside me.
At this time, the dragon seemed to be a little thirsty, he straightened up like a towering tree and stood there upright, opened his fishy mouth, and the python-like head leaned back violently, only to see that the 4 dragon horns were dancing with the wind in a 45-year-old pattern, and they were actually soft? I was amazed that there were two dragon horns at each of the most oblique points above the head, the same dry color of ancient bark as the skin it showed outside its scales. The two dragon horns in the middle are only half the length of the outer ones, and they are unusually small, like antennas on the roof of the house.
The dragon's roar was dull and long, for half a minute, and I covered my ears with my hands over my ears, watching the rows of fangs in his mouth ooze saliva, imagining what it would be like if I were bitten by that thing.
It leaned into the lower part of the waterfall, like a saint being baptized, bathed in the pleasure of the water, and after a while it waited until the water soaked every inch of his scales, and then opened its mouth to swallow the water of the waterfall into its abdomen, and I could see the water rolling through his throat, and there were no scales in that place, so I looked very clearly.
"Damn, Lao Tzu hasn't lived in vain in this life." Rong Jitong, who was washed down from the deck, climbed up from below, grabbing the pole with one hand.
In the middle of the sea, the dragon rises above the water level, and the water in the sky pours down like a skylight opened by God to punish the world. Like the scene in the Bible, it is magnificent and magnificent, the dragon is in the waterfall, raising its head and roaring, and the ears are endless.
Soon the dragon finished drinking the water, and it moved its head from under the waterfall, and the water of the waterfall suddenly hit the hull again.
"Don't look at it." The woman screamed wildly into my ears in the roaring water.
However, I still couldn't hear what he said next, but he pointed down.
No, the real danger was up there, and I looked up at the dragon standing on the water, and it just watched as we swooped down suddenly. For the first time in this sea, I felt how close death was to me, how strange the sea was.
In this sea area, the fish and dragons dance wildly, and there is no burial.
Death came so suddenly, I had almost no means to deal with it, but at this moment, not far away, in the direction of the dragon's tail, an extremely large species broke through the waves and rushed towards it.
I realized that the dragon was aware of the species in the water, so it wasn't targeting us.
"Go below deck." Rong Jitong ran over.
"It's too late." The woman clutched the handrail of the ship's hull desperately, and there were green tendons exposed on the back of her hands.
"The underwater thing is here." I saw it this time.
The thing was moving so fast that it flew out of the water several times, howling like a wild boar, and leaping up less than half a nautical distance from the dragon, a fish creature with an extended body and a very prominent snout at a distance of 40 meters from head to tail. His body was draped in four rows of scales. The shape of the maxillary is similar to that of ancient cod, and the operculum is composed of a single large operculum. The blade-like teeth of the fierce cry were surprisingly powerful.
Like a piece of stone floating on the water, it became faster and faster, and finally pounced on the dragon.
The dragon quickly sensed that something was wrong with the water, and immediately turned his head and hid himself in the water again, and the speed of the species seemed to be unable to slow down, and with a "poof" and the dragon crashed into our boat, the dragon was carried out of the water with strong force, and they hit the side of the boat fiercely, I looked at these two huge species, just less than 5 meters away from me, and the next second my face was attached to the sea.
"The boat is capsizing." I cried out in horror.
The ship creaked, crunched, and the old steel bodies could not withstand such a toss, and soon the ship was standing on its side in the water, and the sea began to pour frantically into the hull.
I suddenly thought of the Titanic, the fear of the shipwreck was played by those people in the movie, I was still giggling when I watched it, is it really so scary? And now it's my turn, and I find it so fucking terrifying, like the sky is falling, and my mind feels like I've gone through all the big and small experiences of the first half of my life for a moment.
"Hold on." Menyue Bin also exhausted the strength of his whole body, and several cyan meridians appeared on his neck and face like worms under the skin.
Then the fish and the dragon jumped out of the water, wrestled and pressed the boat in mid-air, and in an instant the hull of the ship came over, but it shook in the water.
And the next moment I was already sliding down the height difference.
At the same time, there is Rong Jitong.
"Huddle together." In the confusion, Rong Jitong shouted.
I have to say that the length of the ship was really beyond my thinking, and half a minute later, Rong Jitong and I slipped to the stern after countless collisions.
I gritted my teeth and curled myself together, and then my hands made the most intimate touch with the side panels of the boat.
My wrist first tightened, then all the muscles in my hand collapsed together, and finally the force quickly spread from the small arm to all parts of my body, I wailed and let go of my hand, the loose muscles gave me pain at this moment like cutting the wrist bone, I opened my throat, my mouth was full of precipitated thick phlegm, everything was blocked together, not only my voice but also my blood.
And then I passed out completely. I don't know how long it took, but my eyelids slowly pulled up, and in a trance, someone grabbed my hand and lifted me up, he grabbed my head and slapped me on the back of the head, and all the sewage in my mouth was spit out.
"Get up." Rong Jitong said.
The boat was still sailing, and soon it was off the waterfall, and the hearing in my ears began to gradually recover.
But the danger is not over.
The sea stirred and became turbid. I saw the boat overturned, I saw the big fish leap out of the water with dripping water stains, his long and sharp mouth holding the dragon's scales as if inserted into the flesh, diving into the water and out of the water, the streamlined body and double fins and powerful fan-shaped tail made him break free from the resistance of the water at the moment he rushed out of the water, so he jumped extremely high, I watched it soar above my head.
At that second, there was a torrential rain above my head, it was the sea water entrained in the scales of the creature, and under the "heavy rain", my eyes did not dare to blink, my eyes almost moved with it, I was afraid that he would fall and fall on me halfway, but now I can only pray, because in the face of this creature, we don't even have the least chance to escape, and then it crashed into the tallest building on the ship, how can those buildings that have been soaked in sea water for so many years withstand such an impact, and suddenly they will be wiped out.
", the boat is capsizing again." I can't laugh or cry, how the fuck is it like a pendulum clock today?
