Chapter 22: The Norwegian Sea Monster

I motioned for Dickens not to move, then aimed at the huge figure and pulled the trigger. A barrage of bullets immediately shot at the monster, and Duoduo, the old ghost, and Lisa saw that they were firing and hurriedly came to support.

As we fired, Dickens rolled on the ground with his short body and turned his back to the monster. Without a moment's hesitation, he shot at the huge * monster as well. Immediately, a shuttle of bullets flew over.

Our bullets were not fatal to the sea monster, but five guns were still enough to fire at it. Even if you can't get through, I believe it hurts.

This monster was covered in slime and had an ugly face, like the octopus we usually eat. Since we were some distance away from it, we saw bullets come through, splashing slime vortices on the monster's body. After all, this monster couldn't withstand the bullets of our five guns, and suddenly dived under the water again.

"Uncle, is it an octopus essence?" I asked Dickens.

When the old ghost heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "You've seen too much, and you still have octopus essence." ”

I glared at him, and the old ghost stopped talking. Join a few of us in hearing Dickens' opinion. Dickens thought for a moment before he spoke: "I think it's the Norwegian sea monster!" ”

Surprised and surprised, I asked, "Norwegian sea monsters?" ”

"Well, yes." Dickens nodded affirmatively and said, "The Norwegian Sea Monster is a giant monster in Norse mythology that roams off the coast of Norway and Iceland. It resembles a giant octopus, but it is by no means. I don't know why I ran into it here? But come to think of it, it's connected to Iceland, and it's not a strange thing that it's here.

Legend has it that the original description evolved from people's impressions of the giant squid in the real world. It has been recorded that a fisherman went out to sea to see the largest squid, about 13 meters (43 feet) long, including the tentacles. The fisherman escaped and went ashore to make a big splash. By spreading falsehoods, people's impressions of Norwegian sea monsters have been formed.

Norwegian sea monsters often live in the depths of the ocean, but they often surface to hunt for food, and there have been reports of them attacking ships. For sailors, the real danger does not come from the monster itself, but from the huge whirlpool it creates when it quickly dives to the bottom of the sea. If it gets entangled with the largest battleship, it can quickly pull the ship to the bottom of the sea.

I had seen it in my master's logbook before, with his own hand-drawn drawings.

On that occasion, he was transporting a shipment of goods to Iceland and encountered a Norwegian sea monster on the way. My Master's HNA diary describes it this way:

It gradually rises to the surface of the water, like a floating island. As our ship approached, the thing suddenly spewed a massive amount of water from its terrible nostrils, creating a ring of water around it that stretched for miles...... We panicked and quickly turned the bow of the ship and fled.

Later, my master wrote in his diary that when the Norwegian sea monster was 10 to 12 inches, it was best to move the boat out of the range of its surroundings. Because after that it will open, and then it will be too late to escape. ”

The four of us listened to Dickens so vividly and vividly that we were all dumbfounded, and some of us couldn't come back to our senses. For a moment, we forgot that we ourselves were in danger. It wasn't until another huge splash on the surface of the sea that we were all brought back to reality.

After the splash of water, it really formed a whirlpool that was not big or small. It seems that this thing is indeed extremely dangerous! I hurriedly asked Dickens, "Uncle, then your master has written that if you encounter it, how should you deal with it?" ”

Dickens hurriedly said, "Didn't I just say that?" Get out of the reach of its surroundings......"

Speaking of this, Dickens suddenly seemed to be prompted. He quickly patted me on the shoulder and said, "Young man, your brain is spinning fast enough!" ”

After speaking, I saw him running towards the cab in a hurry. Leave me where I am: I didn't say anything, I just asked a question. Oh, I suddenly understood his intentions, he wanted to get out of here quickly. The old ghost also saw his intentions, so he learned the tone of Dickens, patted me on the shoulder, and said, "Young man, your brain is turning fast enough!" ”

"Fuck off, when is it? There is also a mind to play poor. I said.

I saw Dickens hurriedly start the engine and increase the speed to the highest yard. However, the hull of the ship seemed to be stuck in this sea, and it did not move. Dickens was in a hurry, so he immediately increased the throttle. I saw that the hull of the ship trembled, and I couldn't move forward half a step. No matter how hard Dickens tried, it would be useless.

Seeing that his efforts were in vain, Dickens simply turned off the engine and went back to the deck with his gun in his arms. He told us: "The ship is entangled in the Norwegian sea monster, which is the worst-case scenario. It may be pulled to the bottom of the sea at any time, and it will sink in minutes. Everyone hurriedly put on their diving equipment, just in case. ”

Hearing this, everyone began to move and prepare to get their diving suits and oxygen cylinders. I thought I had misheard or Dickens had misheard. hurriedly asked him, "Uncle, you're not wrong, right?" If the ship sinks, we should be wearing life jackets, how can we wear diving equipment? ”

"It's a good habit for you to be able to think so calmly at critical moments, and you have to keep it up!" Dickens said, "But you don't think deep enough. ”

I didn't understand what Dickens meant, and Dickens went on to say, "You think: what would happen if the ship sank and we floated on the surface of the sea in our life jackets?" ”

"It became an octopus monster's possession, and finally became octopus!" The old ghost hurriedly answered.

It dawned on me, so I stopped talking and followed the group back to the cabin to put on our wetsuits. But halfway through, there was another splash on the side of the boat. Dickens hurriedly beckoned to everyone: "Hit me, hit hard!" With that, he was the first to shoot.

When we saw Dickens shoot, we quickly pulled the trigger and fired at the place where the huge splash was made. Suddenly, the raindrops of bullets hit the churning sea, picking up dense small splashes, which really looked like signs of raindrops falling into the water.

After a hail of bullets, we stopped. Lisa asked at this time: "Uncle, this kind of fight has no effect, isn't it a waste of bullets?" ”

Dickens smiled and said, "Not necessarily! Although it may not be hit, at least it can be scared and scared. We can scare it in momentum, though......"

As he spoke, the hull of the ship "plopped" again and shook violently. We didn't stand still and all fell to the ground. In a hurry, he grabbed the side of the ship, which made him steady down. One more didn't stand firm, and he didn't have time to grab the side of the ship. He took a few steps back, and then let the waist-length boat help get in the way, and as soon as he was facing the water, he flipped down......

In a hurry, I didn't have time to think, so I quickly jumped forward and grabbed her leg. But because there is no effective focus point, her body is still sliding. Finally, when it slid to her feet, she finally grabbed it. I leaned forward too much and fell with her. At the moment when my body was about to completely break away from the hull, I hooked the boat with my feet.

When it comes to this skill, two more words must be said. This skill is mainly due to a movie I have watched - played by Ekin Cheng. At that time, I saw that at the beginning of the film, Ekin Cheng hooked the iron rod with his feet and hung upside down doing sit-ups, and he admired it so much. On a whim, I practiced this trick hard at home. At that time, due to the lack of strength in his feet, he often fell from the iron rod with leg cramps. often fell and bruised his nose and swollen face, and once twisted his neck.

At that time, my friends advised me: "Don't be stupid, people (Ekin Cheng) were shooting with Weiya (tightrope), are you really serious?" ”

I don't believe in this evil, so I really practiced it. I didn't expect it to come in handy here today. I hooked my feet to the boat gang, and grabbed Duoduo's feet with both hands, how hard it was! I tried my best to keep Duoduo from moving. Duoduo was afraid of making it more difficult for me, and although I was afraid, I slowly stopped.

Just when I felt like I couldn't hold it anymore, someone grabbed my feet and pulled them upwards hard. With this thick palm and strength, I judged it to be Dickens. It's definitely not an old ghost, and it can't be Wu Lisha. Seeing that someone had already grabbed my foot, I relaxed the strength of my foot. Concentrate all the strength of your body on your hands and make sure that you don't let Duoduo take off your hands.

Our bodies slowly moved towards the top of the boat, and we saw that we were about to be rescued. However, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes. Just as my belly was crossing the boat's hand, suddenly, a thick octopus tentacle burst out of the sea. I wrapped her leg around her and pulled it down. Duoduo was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted, and his voice changed his tone.

Dickens: They obviously didn't expect this to happen, and we were pulled back to the surface by the sea monster's tentacles.

"Damn, it's really unlucky, I even stuff my teeth with cold water! It can happen......" said the old ghost, pulling Dickens with all his strength.

Although I was some distance from the old ghost, I could hear the "creaking" of his teeth. I looked up slightly, and saw that the old ghost had wrapped the rope that bound Dickens around his body. With both feet on the boat, I have completely concentrated my strength on my hands and feet.

At this time, Duoduo was afraid of affecting everyone, so he hurriedly cried and shouted to me: "Rain, let it go, otherwise we will all die!" ”

With all my strength, I squeezed out a few words from between my teeth: "I...... Death is ...... Don't let go! ”
