Chapter 521 - Tentacles
Captain Kim had just finished lying down when the Elk suddenly swayed so violently that he almost rolled off his bed.
"What's going on?" Captain Kim barely stood up and looked out the window. However, the tiny window was completely sealed by the tentacles of the giant squid.
"Why is this squid so big?" Captain Jin couldn't care about anything else at this time: "Come two people, help me to the command room!"
In the command room of the Takamaru, the captain and first mate stared at the Elk in the distance. At this time, there are two giant squid, one large and one small, on the Elk!
The two giant squids had dragged the Elk to the point that it was about to capsize, and the larger one of them was spewing out a lot of ink! The Elk had driven away the pirates, but the two squids were more ferocious than the pirates.
"Captain, what should we do?Do you want to help them or evacuate quickly?" The first mate asked the captain, and the captain of the Takamaru was also a little undecided at this time, two giant squid, the Takamaru should be able to handle it, right?
If you retreat now, the Elk will definitely be finished, and then the Takamaru will definitely fall into the reputation of not being saved, and I am afraid that there will be trouble after going ashore.
Thinking of this, the captain immediately ordered: "Let the No. 1 frigate get closer to them and see if you can knock the squid down." โ
"You mean to shell the squid directly?" the first mate ordered with some uncertainty.
"Get permission from the Elk, and then do it right away. The captain smiled slightly, the situation was so dangerous now, the Elk would definitely agree.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the Elk to agree to Takamaru's plan of assistance, and Frigate No. 1 approached the stray cruiser and began to assist in the attack with small-caliber guns.
The frigate's fire attracted the attention of the giant squid, who was hit by several shells, broke both wrists and feet, and in pain, the small squid slipped into the sea.
After reducing the number of squid, the Elk was able to regain its balance despite the shock. Captain Takamaru found the attack effective and sent another frigate to the aid of the Elk.
Under the fire of the two frigates, the attack of the big squid was also much weaker, and the Elk, although the hull was slightly damaged, was about to be rescued.
Just when the people on the two cruisers felt that the matter was almost over, a large whirlpool suddenly appeared on the originally calm sea near the Takamaru!
"Get out of here now!" The captain looked at the huge whirlpool in front of the ship and felt his heart pounding, why did the whirlpool come here?!
The Takamaru immediately went into high-speed mode, and the captain tried to shake off the monster beneath the surface, but the whirlpool was also moving fast, faster than the Takamaru.
"Get out of here at full speed!" The captain saw that the whirlpools were not so easy to shake off, he rushed to the front of the wheelhouse, nervously observed the whirlpools that kept following, and shouted, "Let the frigate hurry back and escort!"
"Yes!" the first mate began to contact the frigate, but the center of the vortex had already begun to stretch out huge tentacles!
Each of these tentacles resembled a brown-black dragon, and they quickly wrapped around the Takamaru, reducing the speed of the Takamaru to a minimum.
It is only now that the giant squid has slowly surfaced. This squid is so huge that it is no less large in size than a 10,000-ton cruiser. And the black eyes on both sides of its huge mouthparts look even more terrifying.
The giant squid's thick wrists and feet were soft and resilient, and they wrapped around the hull of the Takamaru, and soon the Takamaru was unable to move an inch.
Fortunately, the giant squid has no intention of spitting ink, and the key parts of the Takamaru's hull are also equipped with ceramic armor, so there is no need to worry about the corrosion of the ink for the time being, but even so, the Takamaru is in a dangerous situation now.
"Can't you get rid of them?" The captain noticed that the Takamaru was completely entangled, and immediately asked the mechanic, "Can't it be any bigger?"
"No, it's already overloaded. The mechanic replied in the microphone, "Captain, you can't increase the output any more!"
The captain was so angry that he slammed the microphone on the table, and he yelled at the first mate, "Let the frigate shell the giant squid." โ
"Captain?!" The first mate was surprised to find that the captain was going to take such a suicidal plan against his ship, and hurriedly said, "Do you really want to do this?"
"Nonsense, we're going to die here if we don't!" the captain yelled, "Get the frigate back!" and ask the Elk, if they're out of danger, let them help us too!"
"Yes!" the first mate immediately complied.
In the room of the snow leopard team, everyone was a little at a loss, although everyone was mentally prepared to encounter monsters, but they did not expect to encounter giant squid.
Huo Chi was nervous at the same time, but he was a little expectant, the giant squid attacked, which meant that he might be able to obtain the squid ingredients, and after getting the ingredients, he could upgrade to a level by eating it.
โ(?? ะด?) bDon't think it's so easy. Abu suddenly reminded: "This is a thousand-level monster, and now it is at sea again, and the situation is very unfavorable for us." The Takamaru was so unlucky that he had encountered such a difficult monster here. โ
"Eyes!" Xiao Jian suddenly shouted, he pointed out the window and shouted, "Squid's eyes!"
Huo Chi hurriedly looked in the direction of Xiao Jian's finger, and beyond the small window, a dark and huge eye was looking into the room through the window.
"Abu, is the squid wise?" Huo Chi felt that the squid saw itself at a glance, and it stared at Huo Chi as if it was about to burrow in and swallow him.
"Yes. Abu replied, "This squid is very cunning, but fortunately it does not reach the level of human intelligence, otherwise the current Takamaru would have flipped over." โ
"Uh... Huo Chi looked at the big black eyes, hoping that Takamaru would quickly get rid of this big squid, otherwise it would be a bit stressful to be stared at up close by such a predator.
At this time, the command room of the Takamaru was already in a state of high tension, and the captain of the frigate commanded the small-caliber artillery to aim at the squid.
"Fire!" The first small cannonball landed accurately on the body of the big squid, and the cannonball exploded, and the big squid trembled all over but seemed to be fine. The hull of the Takamaru was hit by artillery fire, and it immediately shook violently several times before it re-stabilized.
"me, hit yourself?" Xiao Jian didn't stand firm just now and fell directly to the ground, he quickly got up, but the second and third shells came one after another, and he fell to the ground again.
Before Xiao Jian could scold, Huo Chi suddenly said, "It's not good, it's starting to spray ink!"
