Chapter 245: The Age of Discovery (68)

Rose Bay is northeast of Victoria Island, out of Rose Bay, Rod's ship sails south, they are about to officially enter the journey to explore the Lost City, the first stop - Poison Boor.

Before entering the poison swamp, Medicine Frix finally took the initiative to step out of the cabin and onto the deck.

Flicks approached Rhodes and gave him a couple of small bottles: "Everyone take a sip before going into the poison bog." ”

With that, Frix turned and went back to the cabin.

When he left, Ye Qingcai took the small bottle in Rod's hand, uncorked it, and squinted his eyes to look inside: "What is it, vomit ......"

She stuffed the bottle back and went to the stern.

Flicks gave Rhodes a vial that was supposed to be a resistance booster or an antidote to the poison swamp, but the smell was disgusting.

Not only Ye Qing felt this way, but even Shi Yin and Rong Sheng couldn't stand this sour and bitter smell, not to mention Hu Yingfeng, Hu Yingfeng refused to drink this "demon water", so none of the four of them drank Frix's antidote.

But in order to cooperate with Rod's work and avoid listening to him, Ye Qing and the four of them pretended to take a sip.

In the afternoon of the next day, they came to the edge of the poisonous swamp sea.

Rhodes stood at the bow of the ship, pointed ahead, and said to Ye Qing: "The front is the Poison Swamp Sea!" ”

From afar, there was a cloud of smoke ahead.

It was really a thick fog, the visibility was very low, and once the ship entered, it was ten meters apart, and the ships in front and behind could not be found, and if they were standing at the bow, the person at the stern looked very confused.

The poisonous swamp was full of thick fog and poisonous gas.

No one knows where the poison gas comes from, only that if you inhale this poison gas for a long time, in addition to the symptoms of poisoning, it will even be life-threatening.

Moreover, the poison swamp belongs to the windless zone.

As soon as they enter the area, they need to enter the paddle room to paddle and move forward, and the more aerobic exercise the crew does, the more air they inhale, and the more toxic components are mixed in the air.

Fortunately, the poisonous swamp area is not large, as long as you carry it, you can smoothly enter the next stop - the ghost domain.

The crew mostly stayed in the paddle room, with Leon and a few gunners taking turns on duty at the bow, rowing during the day and returning to the cabin at night.

After three days, that night everyone except Leon, who went to the bow of the boat, stayed below.

Everyone gathered around eating jerky and drinking wine, listening to the story of Uncle Goatee.

"Oh! I've heard your story 300 times! "Green interrupts Uncle Goatee.

"No, no, no, the story I'm going to tell next, you have never heard of it, because it's a true story."

"What's the story?"

"The legend of the sea monster. I remember very clearly, on the west side of Victoria Island, the day before my thirteenth birthday, the weather was very good, the sun was shining, the sea breeze was mild, the water was so clear that you could see the fish swimming below, but in the afternoon, the sea level was suddenly no longer calm, the prodigal son was higher than the other, our boat swayed up and down with the waves, the waves were getting bigger and bigger, I was almost swept off the boat, I clung to the mast, I wanted to go back to the cabin, but I saw a group of great white sharks in the sea, about seven or eight ......"

Great white sharks have always preferred to walk alone, and great white sharks in groups are rare.

Uncle Goatee noticed the great white shark, but the great white shark did not attack their boat until the evening, when the wind was calm, the great white shark quietly circled around the boat.

Uncle Goatee hastened to inform the captain.

Please note: Please pay attention to the rest of your eyes for a long time. Net Recommendation:

"The captain was an alcoholic, drunk, and he didn't believe me, he said he had never seen a school of sharks."

It wasn't until the next day that they saw the carcass of a great white shark on the surface.

"Who can kill so many great white sharks?"

"We couldn't count the number of great white sharks, but at least three of them died that night!"

Green asked, "The sea monster attacked the great white shark?" ”

"Could it be killer whales? Killer whales also appear in groups, sometimes there can be more than a dozen or twenty. Rong Sheng looked at Uncle Goatee.

The great white shark is the overlord of the sea, if it is a one-on-one fight, there are few opponents, and the killer whale and the great white shark can be regarded as the top predator in the ocean, if the great white shark and the killer whale are similar in size, under the same conditions, the comprehensive strength of the killer whale will be greater than the great white shark.

In addition, there is a living creature in the ocean.

Rhodes also thought of a possibility: "The giant squid? ”

The giant demon squid that Rhodes is talking about, in fact, is the big squid king.

The king squid has an extremely ferocious temperament, feeds on fish and invertebrates, and can fight giant whales!

Great white sharks are usually 6.5 meters long and weigh 3,200 kilograms, killer whales are 8-10 meters long and weigh about 9 tons, while the great squid king is about 20 meters long and weighs about 2-3 tons, and the largest giant squid can grow up to 80 meters and weigh up to 50 tons!

In addition to killer whales, it is also possible that the great squid king is killed by the great white shark.

"But isn't the giant squid only found in the deep sea?"

"I've heard that when a crew member was on the night shift, they saw a tentacle more than 20 meters long sweeping across the deck, dragging what it had rolled into the sea."

"Uncle Goatee, you will announce the answer, who is the sea monster?" Green looked anxious.

Uncle Goatee laughed when he saw him in a hurry, and after laughing, his expression became a little serious: "Of those great white sharks, only one was torn apart, and the others were all complete corpses, not disemboweled, but just floating on the surface of the sea, I saw that there was a layer of cold air on the three great white sharks, and their bodies were frozen!" ”

"Freezing?"

"I've poked it with a stick, and the great white shark is hard!"

The situation was so strange that no one dared to go down to the sea to see what was going on, and Uncle Goatee didn't know where he got the courage to climb to the side of the boat and hook the body of the great white shark with a stick.

The temperature of the sea is not low, even if it freezes, by the time they find the carcass of the great white shark, it should have melted long ago, and it cannot always be hard.

If they are still frozen, it means that they have not been frozen for a long time, but the natural conditions and the level of science and technology at that time cannot form this situation.

"We'll call that sea monster the Ice Source Sea Monster!"

Hearing this, most people just wondered, how could such a thing happen, everyone had no experience of Uncle Goatee, and they couldn't deeply understand his shock at that time.

But Rongsheng stared at the floor, stunned.

The ice-source sea monster that Uncle Goatee said reminded him of the swarthy monster he saw on the slope outside the canyon where the cannibals were.

The monster could survive on land, had scales on its body, and should be able to inhabit the sea as well.

What the hell is that thing?

Why did it let him go that day?

The confusion in Rong Sheng's heart seemed to never get an answer.
