"This is a giant beast scratching with its claws!" Xiaoxue said.

I don't believe it, how can there be such a big claw in the world? Even if there is, it is impossible to easily puncture the thick steel plates, this ship was built according to the standards of warships, and it is a giant ship of the light aircraft carrier class, and the steel plates of the shell are difficult to penetrate even the guns, how can it be scratched with claws like poking cardboard?

Xiaoxue said: "I was originally a beast, so I am very sensitive to the smell of beasts and the traces of claws, and I am sure that this is left by beasts." Don't believe it, what if it's a giant dragon?

Dragon? I was really stunned for a moment, every Chinese is familiar with dragons, but no one has seen real dragons with their own eyes. I believe that dragons are fetiful, and there must be dragons in the spirit body, as for the physical ones......

"It seems that you have been poisoned by education!" Xiaoxue looked serious, "Don't think that things that you haven't seen don't exist if you don't see them, don't deny it because you can't understand it, science and technology are so developed, is it easy to use your Five Elements Escape Technique in the same door?" For thousands of years, different dynasties, different nationalities, different cultures, as long as the dragons drawn by the Chinese people are basically the same, can you say that this is a fantasy? Can it be said that it is a patchwork of several animals? In fact, I've seen dragons, dragon claws, dragon scales, dragon teeth, and so on more than once! ”

I was rather ashamed, but more curious: "Where did you see it, it was really the same as the one on the painting?" ”

"I also forgot what year it was, about the end of the Ming Dynasty, after the tsunami on the Qiantang River, there was a dragon stranded, lying on the sand stall and couldn't walk, the local people built a pergola for it, picked up water to pour it on, and it disappeared after two days of heavy rain, which I saw with my own eyes. It is very common for dragons to run aground on the seashore, not to mention far away, there were two more times fifty or sixty years ago, once in Heilongjiang, and that night it rained heavily and left, and when I arrived, I only saw a deep ditch and paw prints on the sand stall; Another time was in Yingkou, after the stranding, the people also built a pergola to water it, and after a few days of heavy rain before leaving, but I don't know what to do with it, it appeared again after ten days, fought with the giant beast, and fell on the sand and couldn't walk. This time no one found out to water it, it dug its own pit to accumulate water, and it didn't rain but died, and later the bones were taken away from the exhibition......"

I couldn't help but ask: "Since the dragon is a divine creature, it can raise clouds and rain, how can it land and not be able to leave, and still need someone to water it?" ”

Xiaoxue said with a smile: "The same people, some can cultivate into immortals and fly to the sky; Some are emperors and reign over the world; Some are poor and lowly beggars, lacking food and clothing; Some people are crazy and stupid, and they can't take care of themselves, what is this for? ”

I understand that dragons are like human beings, and there is also a difference between wisdom and foolishness, and there is a distinction between high and low, and it cannot be generalized.

Xiao Xue said: "Dragons are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, the real divine dragon can fly over the nine heavens, the clouds and rain, the changes are endless, and the mana is boundless; The worse real dragon can also dominate the lake and the sea, and is the king of the water tribe, which can push the waves and set off the waves; As for some hybrid mortal dragons, their appearance is already somewhat different from that of real dragons, or they have no horns, or no scale armor, or their bodies are deformed. Such a mortal dragon is also weak, and he can still shake his majesty in the water, and he is like a big fish when he goes ashore and leaves the water, so he needs to be rescued, and he can't leave until it rains. ”

I see, I suddenly realized, so Awa Maru was attacked and sunk by a powerful real dragon? So how big does this dragon have to be?

Xiao Xue said: "The people who will be stranded and seen are all mortal dragons, and they are also about twenty meters long, as for the real dragon, I have never seen it, and the size is immeasurable." Judging from this paw print, if it was left by a dragon, this dragon is at least forty or fifty meters long, don't those files you read say that Awa Maru was broken by force? Only a huge dragon could have it possible to get entangled and broken, and in two or three minutes it would be pulled to the bottom of the sea. And the legendary crystal palace is full of gold and silver jewelry, but I am afraid that the Dragon King of the East China Sea is very fond of gold and silver jewelry, this ship is loaded with so many treasures, hehe, maybe the Dragon King of the East China Sea took it! ”

Xiao Xue's speculation is quite bold, but it is also reasonable, if unfortunately this is true, then all the treasures and jade talismans have fallen into the claws of the dragon, maybe it is really a big guy at the level of the dragon king. I couldn't help but gasp, if this was true, I was afraid that I would never get this jade talisman.

Xiaoxue is also speechless, no one can fight with the dragon in the sea, the immortals of the Eight Caves are famous in Taoism and folklore, the story of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea is known to everyone, the eight immortals can join forces to fight with the Dragon King, why do we pull teeth from the dragon's mouth?

"Since it can know how to capture treasures, it must have a high level of spiritual intelligence, maybe we can discuss it with it, maybe it doesn't care about that jade talisman......" Xiaoxue obviously had no confidence and said without confidence.

"But we don't know where it is!"

"It's definitely at the deepest bottom of the sea, and the bigger the water, the more creatures like to hide in the deep water. As far as the mortal dragon I have seen, there are many seaweeds, seaweeds, and small snails on the scales, and the fishy smell wafts for miles, obviously from the deep water. ”

Speaking of the deepest part of the sea, I immediately think of the Mariana Trench, which is the deepest place on Earth, with an average depth of eight thousand meters and a maximum depth of more than 10,000 meters. And the Mariana Trench isn't far to the south-east, so if the dragon is hiding there, who will have the means to dive down and find it?

It's okay to have no clues, but it's even more depressing to have clues, if the jade talisman and treasure are on the wreckage of Awa Maru, there is still a way to think about it, but now there is no way at all, and I am completely desperate.

I was a little reluctant to give up, and I wanted to look for it again, when I suddenly sensed obvious fluctuations in the sea from the high place outside, and something was approaching. It might be dangerous to be stuck in it by a sea monster, so I hurried to the exit, clutched my sword and prepared for battle.

When the probe looked out, it was a man in a wetsuit who bubbled down. Although I can't see the face, the body wrapped in the tight-fitting diving suit is curvy and slender, but I am familiar with it, and there is only Lu Qingwen who has diving equipment nearby.

She quickly spotted me and swam towards me, and through the waterproof mirror she could see a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes, which was sure to be her. She gestured to me, which was quite complicated, and I barely understood it, so I had to shake my head. Shaking your head is almighty, it can mean that I haven't found anything, it can mean that I'm safe and okay, and it can also mean that there is nothing to find here......

Lu Qingwen leaned over, entered my waterless space, quickly took off her hood, and asked in surprise: "What are you here, why won't the sea water get close?" It's incredible, even your panties are dry! ”

Xiaoxue's belly is black: What are you staring at your underwear?

"This is the horn of the rhinoceros, which is said to be the horn on the head of a rhinoceros, which can force the water away."

Lu Qingwen was not envious: "You always have unexpected abilities and things, I know that you must have a way to come, and sure enough!" Did you find anything? ”

I took the knife and took her by one arm and led her to the five holes: "How do you see these five holes formed?" ”

The penetration effect is not obvious from the outside, plus some silt and conch and other things are stuck on it, Lu Qingwen looked at me several times and looked at me suspiciously: "How was it formed?" ”

"I suspect a dragon scratched it with its claws, but the rest of the place has been dismantled in a mess and can't be judged?"

"Dragons?" Lu Qingwen's eyes widened, she was also a cultivator, of course she believed in the existence of dragons, but she couldn't believe that dragons would attack the Awa Maru and sink it.

I sighed: "Only a giant dragon can sink such a big boat in two or three minutes, and other people may not know about the situation, but Ashiya Chijo must know about it, and he knows that there is no hope for it, so he gave up searching." ”

"That'...... So what to do? Lu Qingwen frowned.

I let go of her arm: "I don't think there's any need to look for it here, let's go up first." ”

Lu Qingwen was a little disappointed, put on a hood, got the joint and checked it carefully, and then entered the water after making sure it was safe. I collected the rhinoceros horn and used the water avoidance trick to ascend to the rhinoceros first.

When they reached the sea, Lin Mei and the others were looking around on the deck, hurriedly moving the yacht closer to me, and dropped the rope. In order not to shock the world, I deliberately took a water avoidance trick to let my whole body get wet with sea water......

Ten minutes later, I, Lin Mei, Ling Fengpiao, and Lu Qingwen sat down in the master bedroom, drinking hot coffee or tea, and began to discuss the next steps of the study. I first explained my speculation with Koyuki and explained to them what a dragon was, and then said, "Now we can only assume that the Awa Maru was attacked and sunk by a huge dragon, and all the precious things on the ship were taken by it, so how do we find this dragon?" ”

The three of them looked at each other, then they all shook their heads, and Ling Feng floated: "The sea is so big, even if the water is drained, it will take a few years to walk through, let alone hide under the water." ”

Lu Qingwen said: "Maybe there is a little hope for using submarines and advanced instruments to conduct a dragnet search, but if it moves, it will not be found, and it is impossible for us to use hundreds of submarines to find it." ”

Ling Feng sneered: "It's the same as not saying it." ”

Lu Qingwen put the coffee cup on the table and said angrily: "Then you have a good idea!" ”

"I ...... I said I couldn't find it! Ling Fengpiao's face turned red.

Lu Qingwen sneered: "You are very simple, then you don't need to look for it!" ”

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and after a pause, Lin Mei said: "According to what the eldest brother just said, there is more than one dragon in the sea, so we have found a dragon, and it may not be the dragon we are looking for." ”

Ling Feng jumped up: "I have a way, if the child steals something, he will find his parents to complain, no matter how many dragons there are in the sea, they are all under the control of the Dragon King, we will directly go to the Dragon King to complain, it will definitely be able to find out which dragon did it." ”

Lu Qingwen sneered: "Why does the Dragon King listen to you? Maybe the Dragon King stole it, but more importantly, where is the Dragon Palace, can you find it? ”

Ling Fengpiao was speechless again.
