CHAPTER XXI
Well, the fat man has been miserable lately, but it's actually quite difficult to find a fat man on the fishing boat - so in the end, the biggest man is unlucky. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info has a tall body of 1.9 meters that is rare among the Japanese, and it can be regarded as a good hand in fishing boat operations, and today's luck is over. The Sea Dragon King-like monster in front of him clung its claws on the deck, and its thick, huge carapace raised its upper half to look at them, and then rushed down with a roar.
Tatsuya was holding a harpoon in his hand, and the steel double-strand fork was quite sharp, but the carapace of the monster in front of him was so thick that it really didn't look like it could be pierced with a harpoon. "Damn! Xiaonan ..... You may not need to buy a bento box! Don't get kidnapped by that bastard who sells bento! Tatsuya shouted words of unknown meaning, clenched the harpoon in his hand and stabbed it out desperately.
His estimation was not wrong at all, and the stab in the mouth and nose that was supposed to be relatively fragile in the nose of the monster stabbed the monster in the air - it was unexpectedly that such a huge beast could move so quickly, and because of the structure of its head, it was not enough distance to pierce the eyes. So Tatsuya immediately became tragic, he suddenly lost his center of gravity and fell forward, but before he could fall, he felt a sharp pain in his back, and his hands and feet lost control at once - his entire back was bitten in the mouth by the sea monster, and his vertebrae had been broken in many places.
When Tatsuya, whose internal organs were ruptured, was dying, it was as if he heard "Mrs. "No! The owner of the bento shop! Don't do that! ”...... The anger that came out of nowhere suddenly made him forget the pain, "Don't touch Xiao Nan!" You bastard! Bento shop owner! Then his consciousness sank into darkness and he didn't know anything. Hong Long chewed vigorously on the meat in his mouth, but his body slipped backwards and returned directly to the sea. When he bit the wreckage in his mouth in the sea water and swallowed it, the hunger was gone, and Hong Long, who had come to his senses, suddenly felt a huge nausea - this was not a sense of taste, since he became a sea dragon, his sense of taste was completely different from that of humans, and this kind of nausea was psychological. It is the habit of civilized society not to eat the same kind, especially in the peaceful era of modern civilized society, Hong Long when he was an ordinary person is certainly not the kind of psychopath who eats human flesh, this time he realized that he would of course feel disgusting when he ate people, but that's it......
The giant sea dragon dived into the sea again, completely ignoring the frenzied actions of the remaining fishermen on the sinking fishing boat behind him, activating the pumps to save themselves - in short, this guy relented...... The little brother of the tiger fish following behind him is still the same as before, but this guy's body doesn't seem to continue to grow, it seems that about twelve meters is its limit - although there is no limit to the growth of fish, as long as it is alive, it can continue to grow, but it is estimated that from now on, the growth of tiger fish will be a very subtle and long process.
Sooner or later, Hong Long's attack would have shocked the world, and although the attack was so fast and deadly that no fisherman should have had the heart to photograph him, sightings would still be recorded, and the huge paw prints on the deck of the ship would prove their word - humans have long believed that there were man-eating monsters in the ocean, and so many pictures can prove the contrast between those strange giant monsters in the deep sea and those sailing ships in the bright sun above the sea...... But that didn't stop the sea dragon from crossing the Seto Inland Sea, and the first thing he would see was the world-famous maelstrom, the Naruto Strait Maelstrom.
The turbulent and rapid currents form a huge whirlpool here, and it has been a popular spot for viewing since ancient times. And Hong Long is now wandering here with the tiger fish, and by this time his attack has caused a sensation in the world, and it has become the news that is repeatedly broadcast. In the modern Heisei period, Japan has been collectively sprouted, and many young people dreamed of becoming a manga artist or something like that when they were children, there are many Japanese young people and adults who can draw a few strokes - of course, there are also such children on fishing boats, and they recreate the attack in their memories with pencils.
The fishing boat, known as the "Toshima Maru", is now famous all over the world, and the fishermen managed to keep the boat drifting back to Japan by desperately saving themselves - first, they were not far from the coast, and secondly, they did not lose power, and the keel was lucky not to break completely, which made it possible to return to the shore after the emergency plugging and power pumping was activated, and the only regret was that they had to abandon all their catch. The escaped fishermen naturally called for help, and then told the rescuers everything about it, after all, two people died, and the boat broke down like this......
Rescuers were able to see the huge claw marks on the deck and hull, and even extracted part of the sea dragon's carapace from the torn metal hull - unfortunately there was no DNA in it. And the image of the sea monster reconstructed according to the survivor's oral account and stick figure made everyone take a breath, "Could it really be that there is really a Sea Dragon King?" Isn't the Dragon King of the East China Sea a myth? "Although there is no lower body on the restoration map, the sea monster on the upper body is alive with a legendary dragon.
In fact, it is still different from the dragon in the painting - it is not the composite image of a deer antler, a bull's head, a donkey's mouth, and shrimp eyes, but a rather simple crocodile-like appearance with protruding horn-like spines. "Isn't it the sea dragon?" This is Hong Long's opinion of his appearance, and of course Bo Fu will add a sentence at the end, "One of MH's signature monsters, Sea Dragon." It's not a close relative of the slender seahorse that swims around in the sand. ”
This is big news that has caused a sensation in the world, before this world has already been interested in sea monsters due to the discovery of giant tiger fish, and now there is a sea dragon, and it is similar to the ancient legend, and what is even more powerful is that this sea monster also eats people! Isn't this a huge sensation news, what is sensational news?
This news has caused a sensation in Asia, especially in Asia, the continent's totem was originally a dragon, and now there is a creature so similar to the totem, which naturally arouses people's greatest interest. As a result, those pseudo-scientific sighting photos of the last century were suddenly hyped up again, and the supernatural burial mechanism also began to be active - "The Mystery of the "Dragon Bone" in Yingkou" was once again put on the central ten programs, and this time the interpretation perspective became a new angle......
As for the origin of the Chinese dragon, it has jumped from the synthesis of ancient totems to the argument that the ancestors had witnessed this creature -- the theory that there are dragons in nature in the past has always been criticized as a folk science and pseudoscience, but even the most civil science "experts" cannot deny that the archaeologically determined image of the Chinese dragon is a gradual synthesis of a variety of totems. Anyway, the news of the sea dragon has been very hot, and the only regret is that in addition to the claw marks and sighting records, it is that little bit of carapace, and there are no photos. The test results of the carapace are part of chitin, most of the calcium and inorganic salts, and some metal compounds, which are quite hard......
