Fierce beasts are surrounded by sunk on the eve of sinking, and the impact of destruction is close to death.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the vast sea of the Gorge of Life and Death, the boundless blue sky and white clouds have not changed in the slightest for the things below like billions of years of calm, but the wooden ship that was still riding the wind and waves just now has been seriously tilted, and even the sails above have been lowered to prevent it from tilting faster, and the ship named the Messenger has fallen into an unprecedented major crisis in this strait.

Thousands of years ago, in the era of the eighth age of Arashi's Divine Grace, the Moon Prayers could only rely on rudimentary wooden boats to cross this strait, and at that time they did not even have any positioning tools, and could only rely on luck to a large extent, saying that the survival rate of this kind of sea crossing behavior was seriously exaggerated, but now, as the technology of large wooden ships becomes more and more mature, this probability of life and death seems to be reversed.

However, no matter how mature the technology is, the mortality rate still exists, and there are still too many things in this dangerous world that can give them no return, and the knife-fin fish is one of them.

Completely different from the spines that evolved to hunt airbag jellyfish, the sword-finned fish is an extremely terrifying large creature, this giant fish with a length of more than ten meters has an extremely sharp pair of fins, definitely much sharper than the sharpest weapon that the Moon Prayers have ever made, coupled with their huge size and strong muscular strength, this terrifying creature is enough to make people fearful.

However, the most feared thing about swordfin fish is not only their strength, but also the fact that this creature seems to have a very strong desire to destroy. Although they don't use their bodies to shake rocks, they will destroy anything that they can easily destroy without causing damage to themselves.

As early as the Dragon Soul Period, Xinglan had seen the terrifying scene of a sword-fin fish jumping out of the sea and splitting the blue-spotted thorny dragon flying in the sky into two...... Even the bone structure is directly cut off by this blade face.

Of course, the only thing to be thankful for is that the swordfin fish only have an inexplicable obsession with things that are worth everything, such as ships coming and going, and if it is just a single moon prayer that seems to them to be relatively small, they are completely too lazy to take the initiative to attack.

Few people can understand the idea of sword-fin fish, they are completely outliers in the nosy nature, always obsessed with cutting something that seems worthy of cutting them, and once they destroy the wooden boat and see it start to sink, the knife-fin fish seems to think that they have defeated the wooden boat, and will not make any more attacks, but simply turn around and leave the place proudly. Thanks to their lack of continued attack, this gave the people on the Courier more time to prepare, although that didn't seem to change much of the outcome.

Well, if the swordfin fish and the indescribable object of light that exists in some unknown and distant world can communicate with each other in words, I'm afraid that the communication between them will also be like this:

"Are you a very good cut?"

"I don't think this thing can be cut."

"This thing has become uncut!"

While they can easily destroy any moon prayer ship in this era, experienced sailors are not particularly afraid of swordfin fish, as they can easily be seen through the surface of the sea and are approaching openly, and only need to change direction to a certain distance before they will be disdainful of continuing the pursuit. However, the colorful sea of airbag jellyfish obscured the sea below, so that the sailors on the Courier did not detect the approach of the swordfin fish on the surface in time, which had such serious consequences. The bottom of the boat was cut directly by the sharp fins of the sword-fin fish, and it was simply impossible to save it.

The water that gradually flooded the deck finally made the Moon Prayer passengers realize that they were in an isolated sea, and although there were far more ships in the Gorge of Life and Death now than there were in the past, there were neither long-range communication tools nor special patrol vessels, and no one could come to their rescue. Most of them began to feel fear, some of them panicked, some angry, and some of them even began to lose their minds, trying to vent their strong fear of the crisis on others, and the scene was chaotic.

Before the complete commotion was about to erupt, Bayton had already decisively pulled Fei Yi off the deck and ran back into the cabin...... Naturally, the captain could not continue to stand and chat with them after the disaster broke out, but rushed to the wheelhouse. While most of the people fled to the deck above in terror, many were drawn into a chaotic brawl before they could figure out what was happening. In this era, there is no concept of lifeboats on the boats, and being able to hold on to a few planks is already the last thing many people can do...... Even if the Moon Prayer had good muscle strength, it was impossible to swim to float on the surface of the sea for a long time, and Betton clearly didn't want to do that, and after hearing the commotion above, he ran all the way to the storage room below the Courier and kicked the door open.

At this time, of course, no one would be in charge of the security here, and when Baton kicked the door open, he shouted to Fei Yuan, who had been being pulled by him, "Quickly dump this......"

Fei Yu still held a small umbrella and the portable discharge in his hand, and his shoes made of unknown fabric walked in the sea water that was already several centimeters deep. When Beton kicked open the door to the storeroom, she already understood what the other party was planning, because in front of her were several huge wooden barrels, large enough to hold an adult moon seeker completely inside, which were barrels for storing water.

Seawater is salty water, and once you drink this extremely high concentration of salty water, your cells will lose water further due to osmosis, that is, the more you drink, the more likely you are to die of thirst. With the exception of the special creatures that evolved for the Sea Salt Tree, even the Moon Prayers could not drink this high concentration of seawater directly, so they had to stock up on the ship with enough fresh water just in case, and the barrels that were themselves used to store liquids were obviously well sealed.

Betton clung to one of the barrels, the muscles in his arms bulging out visibly and slowly tilting it over, while Fei Yi stepped forward and unscrewed all the spouts on the sides of the barrels, allowing the fresh water inside to flow out and mix with the water flowing below. At this point, she didn't need to worry about the loss, but she silently took what appeared to be a leather-making kettle from the shelf next to her and filled it up, and tied it around her waist.

The water level is rising faster and faster, which means that the Courier is sinking at an accelerated rate, and when the fresh water in the bucket is about to run out, the entire Courier suddenly has a strong concussion, and a series of cracks appear in the cabin wall in front of it at a speed visible to the naked eye. Fei Yuan's already very weak body did not stand firm under the impact of this violent shock and the impact of the sea water on the soles of her feet, and fell directly to the ground, when she swayed and stood up again, she could see a bright red color on her calf, which was punctured by broken wood, and bleeding in the ocean was not a good choice.

"It's not a swordfish, there's another big animal hitting the Courier!" Faintly hearing a call of terror from above, Betton gritted his teeth, put the barrel on the ground, which had almost been emptied of seawater, sealed the drain on the side, leaving only the top lid, and pointed to the barrel and shouted to Fei Yuan, "It's too late, you and the Dire hide inside." ”

The girl who probably held the key clue couldn't just die, Berton thought, but Fei Yi was clearly a little stunned by his behavior. Seeing her stunned, Betton grabbed the small umbrella in her hand and threw it into the barrel, then pushed her in and closed the lid directly: "Don't think too much, you are already injured, if you stay outside, it will only make the smell of blood more dangerous." ”

Fei Yi did not resist, but obediently hid in the completely sealed wooden barrel, at an angle that Belton could not see, but the corner of her mouth showed a faint smile, and the signal that was Xinglan's perspective was always permeating the vicinity, watching Betton tie the rope used to secure the side of the barrel around his waist, so that the barrel was like a lifebuoy tied to him. After doing all this, Betton looked back at the increasingly chaotic passageway, and if he went out from this side, he was afraid that he would be directly involved in the disturbance on the deck, and it was impossible to leave safely with the large barrel, so he casually picked up an axe from the cabinet next to him and slammed it into the cracked bulkhead.

The already cracked planks in the underwater part of the Courier suddenly cracked completely under his split, and the raging sea water poured into the room frantically through the crack, and even broke out of the gap that was no less than the entrance.

Taking a deep breath, Betton drew a crescent-shaped arc with his fingers and silently recited the Luna blessing countless times in his heart...... This habit was barely the same as that of the Moon Prayers thousands of years ago, and then forcefully pushed the barrel out of the gaping gap in the bulkhead. The moment the fresh water inside was almost squeezed out of the crack by the empty barrel, he felt the strong buoyancy of the water quickly lift the barrel upward, and the rope around his waist carried him up quickly...... This process is actually very dangerous, because the large sea creatures that are attacking the Courier are likely to be nearby, and with his ability to move in the sea, it is basically a sheep's mouth, but fortunately, the most terrible thing did not happen until dozens of seconds later, when the barrel burst out of the sea and was pulled to the surface by the rope to breathe fresh air again.

"Whew......" Betton quickly climbed to the top of the barrel, opened the drain on the upward side of the barrel, and faced the light blue pupils of the upper Fei, and finally felt the happiness of the rest of his life, "Are you okay?" ”

"Yes."

Even if it weighs two people, this barrel can fully bear them, and the Messenger, which is gradually sinking, has already drifted to a distance of several hundred meters in the previous ascent, from here it can be seen that some of the moon prayers above have been in a ball, and some have found them on the sea, but what followed is not a good blessing, but jealousy for others to escape the crisis first, and even some people pick up the things around them and throw them here...... Of course, they couldn't throw it this far and fell halfway.

I haven't escaped yet, so why can you escape? Probably this is a reflection of the hearts of many people when disaster strikes, and some sane people quickly turn around and run into the cabin, obviously intending to escape using similar methods, but at this time the storage room is almost completely flooded by the sea, and the probability of them escaping is getting lower and lower.

Betton saw the creatures attacking the Courier, a group of bone-shattering squid sticking their huge tentacles out of the sea and slamming them into the wooden sailboat in front of them, they obviously wouldn't let go of the large group of moon praying people on the ship more than the two people on this side, it was their meal.

Beyton would never have known that when he escaped from the cracked cabin by the barrel, the Bone Squid had already formed a perfect encirclement around the Courier, but the nearby Bone Squid was about to wrap his tentacles around him when his body movements came to a halt for more than ten seconds...... Until it completely gave up on the idea of continuing to capture him.

"Actors have to be on stage, but you can't be absent at this time."
