March 5, night, 24 o'clock. A red steamer quietly drove out of the Lao Ye Temple, paddled through the waves on the lake, and headed straight for the direction of Luoxingdun.

There are still 18 days before the appearance of Luoxingdun and the ebb tide of Poyang Lake.

This is a red boat, and on Poyang Lake, most of the pleasure boats are red. Legend has it that King Dingjiang gave a dream to Zhou Shanren on the shore and asked him to open a pharmacy, and the medicine in the pharmacy was the "Jixian Water" of King Dingjiang Tuomeng. Once, an old monk who was rescued gave him a pair of red straw sandals with two large red flower balls falling from the tips of the shoes. When Zhou Shanren put on these shoes, once he encountered wind and rain, the shoes would turn into a red boat. The legend continues to the present, in order to avoid evil, almost all the local pleasure boats on Poyang Lake are painted red, called red boats.

On the railing on the side of the ship, Jiang Xian and a man in camouflage uniforms were leaning on the railing and chatting. The other party looked at the night sky with emotion, enjoying the feeling of being blown by the lake breeze, and suddenly said: "This is life......"

Jiang Xian smiled slightly, raised his eyebrows and said, "I originally thought that snipers were silent, but you really surprised me." ”

The man next to him was quite young, with a baby face that made him look no more than 20 years old. is about 1.82 meters tall, and his round face smiled with a pear vortex: "It's all for suffocation." ”

"Snipers are actually the loneliest unit. A mission that requires constant location changes, with no one to talk to you along the way. Sometimes there is a few words in the headset. But as long as the mission is over or the order to retreat does not come down, my eyes can only be nailed to the scope. He lit a cigarette and said depressedly: "All year round, there are tasks for at least 300 days, can you not hold back?" ”

Just as he finished speaking, the whole ship suddenly let out a low hum. An incandescent lamp illuminates the surface of the lake for 100 meters. A voice rang out in the headsets of the two of them: "Three minutes later, enter the waters of the Falling Star Pier." ”

"Drop the bait in five minutes." Jiang Xian restrained his smile, and after saying this, he said to the camouflage man: "Brother Nagano, it's up to you." ”

"Don't worry!" Nagano casually spat out the end of his cigarette, took a deep breath, and walked towards the front of the ship.

Right there, there was an iron frame with a length and width of one meter, and at the front of the iron frame was a spear.

That's not an ordinary gun, it's a shark gun! The unique design ensures that it has terrifying penetrating ability even after entering the water. This way of erecting an iron frame on the bow of the ship is also a seagoing ship that can only be found in coastal areas. Instead of casting a net, a young and strong man stands at the bow of the boat and stabs a speargun or harpoon into a large fish that leaps out of the sea. And the boats never catch small fish, they catch tuna, swordfish and so on, which are of high economic value.

Nagano walked to the iron frame with his gun in hand and half-crouched down. The moment he squatted down, the whole person seemed to melt into the night. Except for the night breeze blowing on his clothes, he could no longer hear the sound of breathing, like a cheetah ready to hunt at night. Even though the night wind was cold on the lake, he was like a stone sculpture, with a gun and a body in two points and one line, except for the shaking of the boat, he could not see the slightest shaking.

Jiang Xian bowed deeply, he knew that in this kind of posture, ordinary people couldn't hold on for ten minutes, but Nagano could hold on for at least an hour.

And at the bottom of the boat, Fang Yunye, Qin Shen, and Song Chaoyang were already waiting there in diving suits.

The boat quietly sailed into the waters of Luoxingdun, and Poyang Lake was quiet at night. Two minutes later, with a slight tremble, a severed sheep underneath the boat was hooked into the water on a half-meter-long steel hook. In an instant, blood filled the water, and the boat also stopped at this moment.

The monster called Silence engulfed the entire water, and the sound of the waves came slowly, creating a perfect balance between extreme stillness and extreme movement. Everyone stared at the water, and even their breath was hidden in the night.

Ten minutes...... Twenty minutes...... Half-hour......

The minutes passed, but no one was impatient. Just forty-five minutes had passed, suddenly, the whole ship trembled slightly.

Hooked!

Jiang Xian's eyes lit up, and his hands were clenched into fists and raised. But it didn't fall behind.

Wait...... He's waiting for a point in time when the other party is completely biting the hook. Turtles eat in a different way from other aquatic creatures, they don't swallow anything in one bite, even fifteen-meter-sized turtles can't swallow sheep more than one meter in one bite. It will take a bite and then slowly swallow it using its masseter muscles.

However, it bites and doesn't let go!

At the stern of the boat, three men in wetsuits were ready to enter the water. At the bow of the ship, Nagano's gaze was like a line, staring firmly downward. The whole ship seemed to freeze, and after a full five minutes, all of a sudden, the boat sank hard!

Now is the time!

Jiang Xian's hand fell suddenly, and the pleasure boat sounded a humming whistle, and quickly turned around and sailed towards the Lao Ye Temple. As it turned around, finally, the underwater waves surged, and a huge black shadow slowly floated up.

Woo - the cruise ship is at full speed, and the waves are already surging like the tide! But...... Cruise ships move incredibly slowly! It took more than ten minutes to drive less than ten meters!

"What's going on?" Jiang Xian was stunned, and immediately turned his head to the headset and said, "Is it starting at full speed?" ”

"It's already full speed ahead!" A surprised voice came from the headset: "But...... But the underwater pull is beyond imagination! We even showed signs of being pulled back! ”

!

Jiang Xian scolded secretly, how is this possible? The ship was already the largest cruise ship that could be mobilized around. It's absolutely okay to pull back a turtle, no...... Even both of them were able to hold on, what the hell is happening now?

"Something is wrong!" Nagano suddenly turned his head and said in a loud voice, "There's more than one turtle down there!" It should be three! Our bait is a little too big! ”

Jiang Xian rubbed the sun fiercely, and he suddenly remembered something.

Turtle is the largest type of turtle in the classification of turtles. They...... It's hibernating!

Not only turtles, turtles, but turtles too. It's just that the sleeping time is not as long as the turtle, and the other name of the turtle is the sleeping god. After waking up from hibernation, it was spring when the fierce gods returned, and they came out of the hidden waterways, of course, hungry. The aquatic products of Poyang Lake are compared with such a large creature, that is, small fish and small shrimp.

And the turtle doesn't go too far from the nest - this means that the water capacity of Poyang Lake is enough for the turtle to eat, but the area around the falling star pier may not be enough! They...... All the time in a state of starvation after hibernation. That's going to catch three at a time.

However, this is beyond the motivation of a cruise ship! He could even hear the sound of a steel cable and a card in the cargo compartment twisting. If you don't deal with it, I'm afraid that in half an hour, the whole ship will sink!

How?

Give up or continue?

Suddenly, a muffled sound rang out in the cabin. The whole ship shook violently. In the next second, the surrounding lake surface of dozens of meters was boiling in an instant!

The pearls and jade are all over the sky, and the water waves are rising, as if entering the devil's triangle of the old man's temple, surrounding this ship, the surrounding water waves directly rush up more than ten meters! The water of the lake was stirred by an invisible giant hand, spinning wildly, and the huge pulling force made the boats start to sway from side to side. Beneath the surface of the water, several black shadows loomed.

"Captain Jiang! Something is biting the boat! The bite is extremely strong! Detecting a decent bend in the underwater part! Damaged in multiple places! In the headset, a panicked voice sounded. Before the words fell, there were several muffled sounds, which rang out in various parts of the hull. The whole ship sank again.

There is no time to think about it...... Jiang Xian took a deep breath and looked at Nagano solemnly: "Only one left!" Kill the rest all! ”

"Everybody get in the water! You have a good vision, take the command for the time being! If you find that you can't do it, report it in a timely manner. Ten minutes later, whether you report it or not, we'll be back immediately! ”

"The captain will contact the rescue ship immediately!"

"Yes!" Nagano spoke in a deep voice, and since just now, the entire lake was boiling, and the big waves slapped on his face and body, but he didn't move.

Plop Plop Plop ...... The sound of entering the water sounded at the stern of the boat, Jiang Xian immediately rushed to the side of the boat, the incandescent light swept through, and the scene on the lake made him gasp.

The ship was only about twenty meters away. On either side of the ship, five floating islands are slowly emerging. The tide rushed into the sky and fell like a torrential rain. Just at the bow of the boat, on the left, there were two dark shadows underwater.

Seven ...... Seven giant turtles!

Jiang Xian gasped, these giant turtles were actually social creatures, they ...... Rescuing the giant turtle that was hooked!

How is this possible?

"Turtles have always lived alone...... This is...... In Yunmengze, was forced to live in a group? What kind of harsh environment is that? Directly changed the way a group of people lived? He grabbed his hair and rushed to the cabin.

There was already chaos in the cabin - all the people on the team list had arrived in four days, and he had only come out with Nagano and the three vice-captains. There were also a dozen people on board, all cruise ship staff. Now he was screaming and running to the captain's quarters.

He pushed a man away and rushed straight to the bottom cabin. There were hook locks and other equipment there, and at the moment of rushing down, even if he was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but gasp.

On both sides of the ship's wall...... Four rows of clear tooth marks were printed! And all of them are five centimeters protruding inward! It's like across the walls of this ship, and there's a cannibal demon outside.

"It's a two-and-a-half-centimeter steel plate......" he shook his head slightly, looking at everything in front of him in shock. muttered.

Turtle ...... There shouldn't be such teeth at all.

Moreover, the bite force will never be so large! Because the turtle bites up and down, it cannot form a circle of force.

Moreover...... It has a diameter of two meters! If he hadn't seen their backs, he would have almost thought it was another creature!

"Return ......" he closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said, "Return immediately!" ”

These things...... It's completely different from the turtle they know!

"Leader, team leader......" Before the words fell, the captain's trembling voice came from the headset: "Let's ...... Can't walk......"

"Black Mist...... The black fog has appeared! We're in the big triangle!! ”

"Don't panic!!" Before the other party finished speaking, Nagano's voice sounded, and he shouted: "Drive full speed and rush in the opposite direction!" I've hit one! Give me time! ”
