Figuring out what he wants to do has become more certain to me, and the ability to find a creature in the sea must be stronger than us, so following him may be able to meet the lair of the Son and Mother Yin Monster and the Ghost King Mound, and as long as his gun is out of my head, it will not be so easy to get up again.

After a while, I took my leave and excused myself to go back, and some sailors privately asked me if I was looking for an opportunity to kill these people. I said, "There's no need for this, you still need to rely on him to help do something, but everyone is vigilant, and everyone will do the rest of the thing." ”

After a night of adventure, the captain talked to us a lot about the giant octopus at dinner the next day, and I listened to it with relish, after which he asked me, "You probably met the Angry Leopard in that area?" Haven't told me yet? ”

I said: "Our positioning system and charts have long since drifted away with the sea, so we don't know exactly where the accident area is, but there is one phenomenon that I find incredible, that is, the Angry Leopard turned around and drove back again inexplicably when the engine was completely turned off when it was about to drift out of the storm zone, do you know why this happened?" ”

Zhou Shuangping's expression changed as soon as he heard this, and he immediately got up and said, "Why didn't you talk about this earlier?" This can only mean one thing: your ship was dragged back by some force, because a change in ocean currents could not have caused the hull to turn. ”

"You mean there might be an elephant trunk octopus on the underside of the Angry Leopard's hull? But if there really is such a monster, why can we get on the ship safely? Is it so kind to us? ”

The captain said, "Maybe it's not a elephant-nosed octopus but a tiger-striped octopus underneath that boat, and this female octopus is powerful in size, but it doesn't devour humans." ”

After saying that, he immediately ordered the newly promoted first mate to recalibrate the course, and then chased in the direction of the Angry Leopard, although the two boats went back to each other for a while, but the time was not long, after a period of full speed sailing, we could already faintly see the Angry Leopard floating on the sea after five hours, the captain immediately ordered all the crew to prepare to catch the "big fish", at this time it was almost evening, but in this cloudy sea was already dark, Zhou Shuangming ordered to turn on the searchlight on the bow of the ship to continue to move forward.

Fortunately, the wind was calm at the moment, which was good for the upcoming "battle", and all the crew stood at their "posts" and were ready for everything, and to my surprise they did not have guns in their hands, so they asked the captain: "You don't even need guns, it's too big?" ”

The captain watched the movement of the Angry Leopard intently with a telescope and said, "The octopus is worthless if it is killed, so it must not be used with a gun." ”

I said, "How big is this monster?" Where did you catch it? ”

The captain said: "Of course my ship is not ready, but there are large ships in the outer seas, and I will contact them as soon as I catch this monster, this creature can survive out of the sea for a while, otherwise it is impossible to get on the ship and eat people." ”

The Angry Leopard is moving at a constant speed in the seawater, and there seems to be no anomaly on the surface, until this time I don't really believe that there will be a huge giant beast under the hull of the Angry Leopard, but the sailors on the ship have begun to lower the fishing net, the captain said: "This is a special fishing net, which is made of high-tech metal wire, ordinary fishing nets are impossible to withstand the power of tiger striped octopuses or elephant trunk octopuses, and the mechanical rocker at the tail of the hull to drag the fishing net is also ready, Only this kind of thing that can generate thousands of pounds of drag force can counter the underwater power of the giant octopus, and once the octopus is exposed, it is injected with a special anesthetic, which is the process of catching the octopus. ”

"You can't underestimate the enemy, are you sure that you can catch this kind of monster?"

The captain said confidently: "According to the information, the overall length of the largest tiger octopus is about 20 meters, and the weight is about 300 catties, and the elephant trunk octopus is stubby and short, and the length is not as good as the tiger striped octopus, but the weight is two to three times that of the former, and the drag force of thousands of catties is more than enough." Suddenly, he put down his binoculars and said, "The Angry Leopard is not moving." ”

The sea water is not stationary, so it is impossible for the hull to suddenly stand still in a drifting state, the crew immediately became nervous, and all gathered on the deck to observe the situation, and the Endeavour also began to slow down, after a while, I saw the stationary Angry Leopard retreating towards us, at this time it was much faster than the speed when it was forward, Zhou Shuang's plane color changed greatly: "This bastard." Then, like a fire burning his ass, he shouted to the cockpit, "Turn the bow of the ship and adjust the course at once." ”

I only felt a shock to the hull of the boat, and the speed immediately dropped significantly, and then the hull began to tilt and turn around, and I wondered: "Who are we chasing whom?" Why do you want to leave when you finally find it? ”

The captain said: "This boat has obviously been controlled by an octopus, I can't go up to collide, once there is a collision accident, the most unlucky thing is us, this has no effect on it." ”

"Let's just run away, why run away?"

"Will you hide, won't it change direction? Driving a boat on the sea is not driving on land and trying to adjust the direction, it is done with a slight movement of the hand, the steering of the sea ship needs to have enough distance, damn, no matter how well the preparation is done, it is not good if you don't go through the actual combat test, this bastard is really difficult to deal with. "As the fishing boat turned, it retracted the nets that had just been spilled, and then the roles of the two boats were reversed, with the Leopard being the chasing party and us being the fugitives.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but laugh and said, "Let's just leave like this?" Is this simply inexplicable? ”

The captain said: "The temporary retreat is only for a better attack, I am to buy time for the next move, which is fundamentally different from escaping." ”

After saying that, he made a gesture to the sailor, and the four of them turned around and went to the lower level, and after a while, a blue plastic bucket was carried up, which was full of weight, and several people looked cautious as if they were carrying an atomic bomb, and the captain sighed and said: "I really don't want to use this thing, I was forced by this bastard." ”

I couldn't help but wonder, "What's in here?" ”

The captain took out a mask from his body and handed it to me, "You'll know when the time comes." "Then the sailors were given a mask each, and then the boat slowed down and we went to the stern again.

As the Angry Leopard got closer and closer to us, the captain took the lead in putting on his mask and said, "Brothers, cover your mouth and nose tightly and carry out Plan B." I saw a tall sailor wearing a three-layer mask, and with a sad face, he stepped forward and unscrewed the lid of the plastic bucket, and suddenly a strange smell suddenly enveloped us.

I finally knew why I was wearing a mask, this thing stinks so badly, although I can't say what kind of smell it is, but it smells a hundred times worse than the worst smell I've been exposed to in the past 20 years, and I can't help but complain: "What do you have to eat to pull out such a stinky?" ”

The captain also had an expression that could be pumped at any time: "It's not poop, it's the internal organs of dead fish and turtles, which are piled together to rot and ferment naturally, and then stored in a warm engine room for at least ten days." ”

"Are you going to use chemical weapons against octopuses?".

"You think it stinks, it's the octopus's favorite smell, and if you want to lure it out from under the ship, you have to use this thing." As he spoke, the sailor took out a spoonful of rotten flesh from the barrel with a long-handled wooden spoon, and the top slime was even bubbling, and he quickly poured it into the sea.

This trick really worked, and a string of huge bubbles suddenly rose on the dark sea near the "feeding" place of the Angry Leopard, and the captain frowned and smiled: "Livestock is livestock, if you want to fight with me, you are still tender." ”。

After every seventy or eighty meters of distance, the sailor scooped a scoop of "feast" into the seawater, at first only could see bubbles, and then the Angry Leopard stopped again, we don't know what happened, holding our breath and observing the situation on the sea, suddenly two huge tentacles as thick as human arms rose out of the sea, only to see that the color of the tentacles was really yellow and black, and the mane of the tiger was very similar, but the length was far beyond my imagination, and it was dozens of meters higher than the deck of the Endeavour.
