Chapter 417: Ice Floes in the Warm Current
Crash!
Poof!
Crash!
Poof!
In a vast ocean with no coastline in sight, a warm and moist ocean current and the icy ocean water mix together, creating waves more than one person high, undulating and undulating, and the waves are endless.
Flocks of seabirds hover in the sky, and from time to time a few swoop into the water, and when they fly again, they will have a sea fish in their mouths.
Warm and moist currents bring an abundance of food to the ice, tiny plankton, schools of fish, and seabirds that catch fish every day, and a whole food chain that runs around the ocean currents for thousands of years.
Flutter Flutter Flutter ......
Some of the seabirds rested on an ice floe on the warm and humid current, and they did not understand the presence of ice floes in the warm current, but it was a great temporary habitat for seabirds to devour small fish, excrete feces and even peck at the crystal clear humanoid ice cube curiously.
The ice is not large, and the number of seabirds that can accommodate it is limited, so it is necessary to fight and fight in order to rest and settle down.
Hula!
The flock of seabirds in the distance all flew in panic, the seabirds on the ice also walked away, and the mast of a human fishing ship appeared not far away, this is a group of creatures standing at the top of the food chain, the warm and humid ocean currents bring almost inexhaustible wealth to humans, humans are the overlords of this ocean, even the powerful sea monsters dare not approach this sea.
"Collect the net!"
A tall man with well-developed tendons stood at the head of the bow dragon and shouted loudly, the big man was bare-chested, with a black face with a scumbag beard, bronzed skin, and a roaring sea dragon tattooed on the back of his chest, looking like a strong and ruthless man.
The rest of the crew did as they were told. Shouting slogans, pull up the rope on one side of the dragon hanging.
The sound of neatness is full of power, and the huge fishing nets jump upwards one by one, gradually rising out of the sea, and after coming out of the water, the junction between the fishing nets and the sea is like the bottom of a boiling pot, producing dense and large movements. Countless fat, snow-white sea fish jumped, trying to break out of the nets and flee frantically in all directions.
"Congratulations, my master, the first net is a bumper harvest of cod!" said an old seaman with a smile as he leaned behind the big man.
The big man also smiled with a smile on his face, touched the seawater on his face, and squinted at the boiling fishing net: "Add dinner today, good wine and good meat are served!"
The old seaman said with a happy face: "Thank you master, the old slave will give the order!"
Dahan is in a good mood. Looking at the huge fishing nets dragged up by the seafarers, even if you have been doing this business for decades, it is rare for the first net to catch so many marine fish.
He was about to jump off the deck to inspect when he heard an exclamation from the watchtower: "A thousand paces away, there's a strange block of ice floating on the surface of the sea!"
The big man was startled, and rushed to the bow of the ship with a brisk stride, raised the clairvoyant mirror on his chest to look over, and soon found the target.
Crystal clear ice rises and falls along warm, moist ocean currents. Constantly refracting the sun's rays, sparkling. Quite glaring.
Dahan's heart sank, it was very abnormal for ice floes to appear in the warm and humid current, his eyes were very poisonous, and he saw that there was obviously a person in the ice cube, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, and he didn't know the details.
The fishermen who make a living in the ocean have lived in one belief for thousands of years. Seeing that the shipwrecked at sea must be rescued, because I don't know that one day I will be shipwrecked in the ocean.
"Ah Xing Ah Kun, go and take a look! The fishing boat guards come with me, be on guard, beware of this is a trap!" the big man commanded with a loud shout. The ship's seamen picked up speed and quickly disposed of the harvest that had fallen in the deck barns, and the guards were heavily armed and put on combat alert.
Ah Xing and Ah Kun put down a small sampan, and the two of them waved their oars against the warm and humid current, and it didn't take long for them to come to the ice floe and catch it with a special fishing net long pocket.
"Master of the house, this is a frozen human man, I don't know if he is dead or alive, what should I do?" Ah Xing held a communication tray in his hand, carefully looked at the man in the ice, and reported vigilantly.
The bow man said, "Is there anything abnormal around?"
"Everything is normal, Ah Kun said that he didn't smell the scent of the Kraken Sea Beast, and it shouldn't be the bait released by the Kraken Beast. It's just that this ice cube is a bit weird, it doesn't seem to melt at all!" Ah Xing touched it with his hand, it was indeed an ice cube, and there was still a cold mist rippling around on the surface, but even under the warm and humid ocean current, he didn't see the volume of the ice decrease.
Dahan thought for a while and said, "Bring it back first, and then call it a day today!"
The fishing boat returned, with a heavy harvest, all the seamen were beaming, today the head of the family is in a good mood, good wine and meat plus meals, and there is a bonus when you go back, who is not happy?
Inside the cabin, four or five big men looked at the ice floe vigilantly, and a thin old man was squatting to check, and there were all kinds of bottles and cans in the medicine box in his hand, trying to clean the ice by various means to check the situation of the people inside.
Outside the cabin, Ah Xing Ah Kun was handling sea fish on the deck, and the seafarers working on the side were all listening to their boasting.
"Hey, I've lived for thirty years, and I've never heard of an ice floe drifting along the warm current, and this ice has no signs of melting at all, I feel like it's the power of the sea god!"
"The strangest thing is that the face of the person inside is distorted, as if covered with a layer of black mist, and I can't see his true appearance clearly, but I'm sure it's ugly, maybe it's a wicked person like a demon!"
"That's it, if it were me, I would definitely throw this ice cube back into the current, and only the head of the house would be kind enough to save him!"
"Haha Akun, if there is a beautiful woman without clothes sealed inside, I'm afraid you will change your statement immediately, right?"
"Then you don't need to say?Ahhh......h
There was a lot of joy on the deck, and many low-level seafarers were doing their work neatly, and in the midst of tiring work, this occasional joke could divert everyone's attention and make the work no longer boring.
The lady of the cook, named Yu'er, blushed slightly, but she still did not forget her duty, she walked around among the fish with other women, and soon picked out the pearl fish species in the fish, pearl fish are many times more expensive than ordinary sea fish, but the number is very rare, this kind of one-in-ten thousand fine work can only be done by women.
When she left the bottom cabin, she was curious to the cabin area to see what the mysterious man in the ice looked like.
She heard the voice of the master of the house outside the door of the captain's room, and also heard the captain of the guard and the spirit master of the ship, and she curiously leaned on the edge of the window, and quietly peeked in.
There was a man lying on the ground of the cabin, the ice had melted, and there was water everywhere on the ground, this man looked weak and couldn't move, and the old man Luo was pulling his head with his hands, shaking his head and sighing. (To be continued.) )
