Chapter XI
The sea monster swam in the water, its snake-like body swaying from side to side, but its head was always facing forward, its four webbed claws were paddling the seawater, and its spearhead-shaped tail was also flicking vigorously, driving the sea dragon, which was more than twelve meters long, one meter in diameter, and weighed nearly five tons, away from the bay at a speed of ten knots, towards the deep water to the south. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and behind it, a six-meter-long tiger fish with an exaggerated mouth and fangs followed, also flicking its tail and diving into the deep water.
The Holocaust is over.
The bay was not as red as it had been in the past, but the joy of the past had long since been swept away, and almost all of them stood on the shore or sluggish or frantically watching the rowboats that floated in the water to reveal the bottom of the boats, and the fishermen they knew with them disappeared without a trace. At this time, the first fishing boat that escaped the catastrophe crashed into the shore frantically, and even if the people on it had touched the shore, the bottom of the boat had already run aground on the beach, but they were still paddling frantically, and the whole person was paddling like crazy...... Then there was the succession of people who escaped, some of whom sat in the boat and covered their faces when the boat ran aground, others who jumped down and ran as hard as they could inland, and still others who simply collapsed on the beach.
The people of the local fishery association are completely distracted, are they responsible or not responsible for the current situation? Who is responsible? What to do? Will it be stabbed in the news? What do you know? Are those who fell into the water still alive? What if I die? Do you want to pay money with insurance? These chaotic questions swirled in everyone's minds, and it was not until a few dozen minutes later that someone took out their binoculars and began to search the sea, and at the same time tried to drive a large fishing boat from the harbor to rescue people - small boats would never dare to go out to sea.
The tragedy at Dolphin Bay shocked everyone, no matter how many people said they deserved it, but the death of more than thirty people was a disaster - and it had a background of extremely exciting sea monsters. Although almost no one has photographed the so-called sea monster, but the eyewitnesses claim that it is a sea dragon king, the sea dragon king in East Asian mythology, of course, everyone's description is chaotic, basically the same as in the paintings and sculptures of the past, but some people claim that it is a sea serpent. The remains of the recovered corpses had huge wounds, lacerations, cuts, and cuts, and huge bite marks on several corpses, which confirmed that some unknown creatures had indeed attacked these fishermen underwater.
This news can be lively for a whole year, at least the tradition of Dolphin Bay seems to be dying, many people have died, and these are basically the backbone of the local fishing club, and the sunken fishing boat is not a small amount of money, and many families have fallen into the abyss and have to go bankrupt. Moreover, after this kind of incident, the number of people who dare to go out to sea to fish has decreased significantly, and many people want to change careers, and the local economy can be said to have plummeted. But the end of the fishing industry doesn't mean there won't be new industries – at least the local tourism industry suddenly exploded, and the local economy rebounded quickly after hitting the bottom at a rapid pace, and the tourism industry became a new economic growth point for the local economy. To say that these people are also a bit heartless, it hasn't been long since so many people died, and the cute cartoon Neptune King has been drawn and made into a billboard for the tree......
If Hong Long sees this, most of them will say that everything can be cute, it seems that this big Japan is eating jujube pills. But now he has returned to the warm waters of Okinawa and continues to live on Iriomote Island. Recently, Hong Long found that his activity cycle had changed, it seems that he belongs to the kind of creature that has an active-dormant cycle, and the uncontrollable sleepiness is now constantly eroding Hong Long's sanity, and he has begun to plan ahead, using the underwater impact cave to expand his dormant place.
Under the impact of the waves for many years, there will be underwater caves or depressions under the rocky cliffs of the island, and Hong Long chose the most dangerous place - this place is relatively remote, and there are several reefs that make the waves here extremely treacherous, and the underwater undercurrent makes it impossible for any unlucky person who falls into the water to swim out on his own. Beneath the cliffs of the coast, there was indeed a shallow pit that had been sunken, and what Hong Long did was keep digging into it to make as much shelter as possible.
He was lucky, and before he fell into a complete sleep, he succeeded in digging a rudimentary cave, the entrance was underwater, a small part of the sea would be exposed at low tide, and a third of the cave inside was below the surface, and the remaining two-thirds of the ground would also be submerged at high tide, the whole cave was about ten meters high, and after the high tide the water was five to six meters from the top of the cave, and by the blessing of the reflection of sunlight by the sea, the hole was not pitch black, but showed a beautiful blue. The depth of the cave is about five meters, which is considered a relatively narrow cave. If it weren't for the fact that there was such a pit here, it would have been impossible for Honglong to complete the project during this time.
All he needed now was to eat as much as he could, because he had no idea how long he would be asleep..... And the little tiger fish seems to be accustomed to migrating here, and regards the seabed as its nest fifty or sixty meters deep below the entrance of the cave.
Hong Long fell into a deep sleep, and the craze of sea monsters did not fade. Although no one has ever seen the so-called Neptune after that attack, the influx of tourists has prevented the local tradition of dolphin hunting to continue - instead there is a lot of "ancient folklore" to accompany the local tourism program, telling the story of the Neptune's haunting here since ancient times. Of course, there are also shocking sightings, but like almost all water monster sightings in this world, there is a very blurry video in the sky.... Obviously, the world has already popularized high-definition camera phones and autofocus technology.
Time flies, and the children of that year have grown up and gone their separate ways. Taro became a university student, a non-trivial otaku college student at a second-rate university in Tokyo, while some of his friends went to work in various places, some inherited the family business and became small shopkeepers, fishermen, etc., and some of them went to university like him.
In the summer of that year, Taro was already a sophomore in college, and he returned home to help out during the holidays. Taro, who was already a young man, drove a small car to deliver beer, climbed the small slope behind the house again, lit a cigarette and smoked it, he looked at the beautiful sea in the sun, looked at the waves that never stopped since he was a child, and thought nothing in his heart.
