Chapter 195: Big and Small

The so-called deep-sea monsters do not refer to a specific type of creature. In the stories of sailors, the creatures called the Deep, or simply Sea Monsters, refer to creatures of incredible size and wreak havoc on ships, although sometimes these sea monsters are not all irritable and dangerous, and are much less dangerous than many ancient legends of the sea. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people to tell and provide material about them. Some of the more famous ones are giant squid and octopus, sea turtles that are considered islands, and giant glowing jellyfish that look like the sun under the sea in the dark. And the earliest and most common sea monster stories are related to an animal that has gradually become known and even prey by humans, whales.

Some scholars believe that whales have mistaken human vessels for their own kind of boats, and that the hull of the ship does look a little similar to that of a whale when viewed underwater. Some scholars believe that whales are sinners driven from land by the gods, and they are forced to use their lungs to survive in the sea, so they are desperate to get permission to return to land, so they will regard human ships as messengers of the gods. This also explains why whales suicidally rush to land, and why carcasses decompose quickly within a few days after death on land, and the swelling carcass can explode.

As for the views of these scholars, it is not clear who is right and who is wrong. After all, there are only a handful of scholars in this era who have real talents, and even fewer who happen to have the opportunity and interest to study whales and other marine life. If nothing else, even the Gray Tower has not collected a complete whale skeleton so far. But it doesn't really matter, for sailors, they just need to determine if the whale is a threat to them. And the question at this point, obviously, is certain.

Lothar had never seen such a big mouth. No, it should be said another way, for the Count did not see the big mouth with his own eyes, but he could not care about it anymore. The mouth was too big, and Lothar had made a mistake when he had predicted that what would rise from under the water would be about the size of the Damned Lady. And the Cursed Lady was quite large not the whole sea monster, but just its head, its mouthparts that opened upwards to be exact. As for the identity of the sea monster, judging by its body lines and pronounced fins and smooth back, it should be a whale. A whale that floats on the surface of the sea and is mistaken for an island by people as it is not inferior to the tales of sailors.

Desperate, the three members of the team who could spot the situation in the waters below had this feeling at about the same time. Even if Jaquia was to leave the others behind and swim forward as best she could, she couldn't swim to safety before the jaw devoured her. It was so unexpected, who would have thought that the monsters that had made the blood-devouring sharks appear in this way when they thought that the scimitar sharks would be the greatest danger ahead? Before they even had time to explain the situation to Peg and Hela, the big mouth had already engulfed the swarms of sharks, like a large black cloth from the bottom.

"Boom!" the sound of the beast's jaws closing could be heard clearly even in the sea, and the violent current of the water hit the team, pushing them in the direction of the sea! By the time they finally recovered from their panic, they had come to the shallow water that could be illuminated by the moonlight. The cold light makes the sea mysterious and secluded at night. In the silence, the behemoth from the deep sea silently looked at the five people with its suffocating eyes.

"What's going on? Why didn't it eat us?" Qili's question was always the quickest, but even the lawless witch didn't have the usual cynicism when faced with the beast. No way, no one will feel no pressure when facing an eye that can reflect their whole body.

Jaquia's gaze naturally turned to Lothar, who seemed to her that if it wasn't the witch who had stopped the behemoth, it was the only human who had behaved strangely and strangely during the operation. Unfortunately, the expression on Lothar's face was not much more relaxed than that of the Huntress, and he was also confused by what was happening in front of him. As for the other two witches, both of them now had trouble suppressing their heartbeats, and they had no energy left to participate in the discussion. However, the doubts of several people did not last long, and a slow voice sounded in their heads.

"It's us, let it, stop. The crown of thorns said in a calm tone that was jaw-dropping, "Let's let, it's, don't eat it, we." ”

"Wait a minute, you can communicate with it!" Qili simply floated to the surface of the water, and took off the conch in her mouth to show unusual excitement.

"Yes, slightly. The Shells' answers were vague, and the spores of information they emitted were capable of communicating with all creatures that had the conditions to communicate beyond language. But that doesn't mean they can talk to all the creatures they can talk to. For example, the shell people could not explain the concept of land to the whale, because the latter could not reach the shallow sea because of its size, and therefore had no idea of land. It is even more difficult to get the whale to imagine and understand something it has not experienced through verbal descriptions.

"It's only slightly, but it can be done, right, like you told it not to eat us. Hela finally recovered from the shock and joined the discussion.

"Yes, it's full. And, it's friendly. Thorncrown was silent for a moment before replying, apparently just communicating with the whale. As for the meaning of the word friendly, I am afraid that the creatures that have been swallowed by the giant beast all the way from the bottom of the sea will have a different opinion. But in any case, the whale did not show hostility when it was full.

After receiving the Shell Man's answer, they looked at the sea monster swimming in the clear waters, and then looked at each other a few times. After making brief eye contact with a few of her companions, the Huntress said, "Crown Thorn, can you try to get your older friend to do us a favor?" ”

"Try it. Thorncrown replied to Jaquia, and then fell silent again. And the thing they want to ask for help from the whale is actually very simple, that is, to bring the group to the location agreed with Fioni. There are two reasons for this, firstly, after this turmoil, it is already an extravagant hope for the team to arrive before dawn, and secondly, it is the same reason as before to pass through the scimitar shark group, no matter how bold the patrol of the Burning Waves Siren, there is no need to stop the footsteps of a deep-sea monster.

The wait is long. Jaquia anxiously watched the moon gradually set, praying that the sun would not rise so quickly. Fortunately, when the brilliance of the stars was not yet obscured by the sun, the giant whale let out an earth-shattering sound. At the same time, the crown of thorns said to a few people with some tiredness, "It agreed." ”

"Whew!" the whale spewed out a column of water on the surface of the sea as if it was about to pierce the sky, and after a loud chirp, it opened its big mouth like a cave and stopped silently on the surface of the sea.

"I think it's getting us into its mouth. "There is no need for the shell man to paraphrase, Qili has already seen through the meaning of the whale.

"Isn't it really going to eat us?" Peg's face was already not good, and now it was even more pale and uneasy, she was too tired.

Jaquia didn't hesitate and swam towards the whale's mouth, "If it wants to do that, it doesn't have to stop just now." ”
