Chapter 5 Whale Pack (Subscription Requested!! )
The warm sun hung high in the sky, and the sea was endless blue, with the occasional patch of ice floe.
The temperature was even colder than in previous days, it had reached minus 10 degrees Celsius, and the sailors on the icebreaker changed into thick cotton suits and worked with gloves.
Standing at the bow of the ship, holding a sextant, they were measuring their current position by the horizon and the height of the sun, and in order not to be detected by the Royal Navy, they entered the high seas area, bypassing the naval defenses, and at the cost of reaching the edge of the far north sea for half a month.
Today's weather is very good, not only can you see the sun, but the sea is also calm, sparkling, no wind at all, but everyone knows that this is already the farthest point that ordinary fishing boats can reach in winter, and if you continue to go forward, you will completely enter the depths of the far north, where it is extremely cold and dangerous.
Yunia stood beside Ma Wei, wearing a thick white lace velvet jacket and a cotton hat, looking curiously at the sea under her feet, the tip of her nose was red from the cold, and she exhaled a white breath from time to time.
"Daddy, Daddy, something seems to have swam underwater!" Yunia suddenly screamed.
"Huh?"
Ma Wei put down the sextant, recorded the coordinates in the logbook, and looked at the calm sea: "This is the sea, and it is normal for there to be fish under the water." ”
With Edward's lampreys patrolling the nearby seas, danger could not be approached silently, so Mavi was not at all worried about what monster Yunia had seen.
"Oh...."Yunia nodded as if she didn't understand, "Can they eat?" ”
"Of course, 90 percent of the fish and shrimp that move near sea level are edible, and many distant-water fishing boats come here to catch them."
"But... Can you eat such a big fish? ”
Yunia stretched out her arms as hard as she could, looked at the sea in the distance and asked, "It seems to be bigger than our ship!" ”
On the far side of the icebreaker, a column of water rose into the sky, and then a huge oval creature rushed out of the water, stirring up countless waves.
The ethereal whale moan attracted Katerina and the others who were warming up in the cabin, and they came out of the cabin one after another to watch the beautiful scene.
Blue whale?
Ma Wei took out his binoculars suspiciously, and observed the sea in the distance, there seemed to be more than one whale at the bottom of the dark blue and dark water, and the species were also different, and he even saw several huge dew whales...
"No, how could whales be in this area at the same time?" Ma Wei said to himself: "There are so many numbers, there is no fish and shrimp school that can satisfy them..."
According to the habits of predators, whales will go to the place where the food is most abundant to feed, there are countless fish and shrimp in the far north sea, it is not strange that whales appear, the strange thing is that the blue whale is a creature, generally does not appear in groups, they are too large, so large that once there are companions around, they may not have enough to eat.
"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"
At this moment, not only have large-scale, different species of whales appeared on the edge of the far north seas, but even their swimming routes are the same, all heading towards the depths of the far north seas, just like...
Attracted by what in general.
The lampreys swam around the icebreaker, and they reported the information to Edward, whose expression became serious.
He approached Mavi and said, "The lampreys just said that they felt something awaken in the depths of the Far North Sea, and these whales are heading there. ”
"Is it a transcendent being?"
"It must be."
Ma Wei pondered for a while, and after a while, said, "Avoid the whales, since they are going for the supernatural existence, let's avoid there and try not to have conflicts." ”
What lives in the depths of the ocean, even science can't detect clearly, Ma Wei will not be stupid enough to have to break his wrist with the other party, the sea is people's territory, and they should respect their masters when they pass by.
"A school of shrimp! There are schools of shrimp! ”
The lookout, standing on a high place, came to Montov and shouted: "Cast the net!" Cast your net! ”
Whales often appear in places where schools of fish and shrimp appear, and they also have to eat, so even if you go to find a newly-awakened supernatural being, you have to choose a route with a lot of food.
The steam icebreaker for fishing, equipped with many tools, had been thrown into the bottom cabin by Yakov and eaten in ashes, and now that a school of shrimp was found, the sailors immediately rushed into the bilge, carried the nets and ran back.
In desperation, Edward could only let the lampreys retreat, run far away, and the province was 'caught in one net'.
Huge nets hung in the stern of the ship and spilled into the sea, and under Yakov's command, the icebreaker began to sail towards the shrimp school, and it was not long before the stern nets were filled with live sweet shrimp.
The sailors sang their hometown songs aloud and pulled their nets up the deck with all their might, cheering at the abundance of prey.
Sailing at sea was so boring that these navy sailors often had some fun on their own, including fishing.
"There's sweet shrimp to eat tonight!"
Brother Sergei grabbed a live sweet shrimp and took a direct bite, this sweet shrimp lives in the cleanest waters, there is almost no pollution, and the taste is the best.
Bang!
There was a subtle and dense sound of thunder in the distance, and the sailors who were still cheering just now froze instantly, and slowly turned around, only to see that in the depths of the extreme northern sea, a pitch-black cloud had gathered at some point, and the lightning of blue and white branches flashed in it, and the calm sea surface...
The wind is blowing.
"All in place!
! ”
Captain Yakov roared: "Fix everything!" Come to Montov! Get down! ”
The sailors ignored the sweet shrimp they had just caught, and rushed to their respective posts, bringing ropes and tying up objects such as lifebuoys on the deck, and the lookout came to Montov to slide down the ladder and participate in the busywork.
The joyful atmosphere disappeared in an instant, and the tense and serious depressive atmosphere permeated the hearts of everyone, and the storm was coming, which was a disaster for the ocean-going fishing boat!
“Boss。”
The communication came to Ma Wei, stared at the rapidly expanding dark clouds in the distance, and said, "This is a familiar meeting..."
The Lord of the Bloodline, Edward was also such a devastating scene when he first woke up, but the place where he recovered was on land, which also brought disaster, but in terms of the level of threat...
Or is it the storm that is happening on the sea in front of you that is more terrifying.
"Edward, I remember you absorbed a lot of dark clouds, can you do it this time?" Mavi asked.
"The clouds are actually the result of the spread of power..."
Edward shook his head: "It seems to be a storm, but in fact it is completely different, I can absorb the dark clouds caused when I wake up, but this time it is the power of others, I can't absorb it." ”
"Moreover..."
"Even if I absorb these powers, what will happen? People have to look for us desperately...."
