The summer night was shocked.

"Can you even mimic this kind of thing?" She asked Xiu.

"Don't underestimate the mimicry ability of our race, don't talk about this, anything more complex than this can be mimicked...... But only if you know enough about what you want to mimic. ”

"I see......"

As soon as Xiu Ji explained this, Xia Ye immediately understood. It seems that the most important thing in mimicry is cognition, and as long as there is a specific and clear cognition, it is only a matter of course to achieve it.

This explains why he can "pinch" his head so smoothly, and the chief engineer can mimic a complex thruster model.

After all, for the chief engineer, the familiarity with the aether ramjet thruster is even greater than her own body.

"So, if you put it in the etheric wind, can it go into ram propulsion mode?" Summer Night asked with some curiosity.

Xiu nodded, then shook his head again: "No...... The tail will break ......"

Summer Night imagined that kind of picture for a moment, and suddenly couldn't help but laugh.

But just then, a wonderful idea popped into her mind.

"And this thruster...... Can it be even bigger? ”

"No...... It's the limit......"

"Because your tail is still very young~" Xiu Ji said, "But if you think of it as a Xiu Gus, it should be able to grow, as long as you feed it well." ”

"Huh?" Xiu tilted his head, indicating that he didn't quite understand.

Xiu Ji put his little paw into his stomach, fumbled for a while, and when he pulled it out again, there was already an extra white bone fragment on the claw.

It was a fragment of a whale's wing bone.

"Speaking of which, this is still the meow you fed to this cat, and this cat didn't finish eating, so put it in the belly, now try to feed it to your tail."

Xiu took the bone fragment from Xiu's hand and brought it to the tail that had been released from the mimicry. The tail licked it carefully, then opened its mouth wide and swallowed it in one gulp.

Chew Chew ......

The tail eats the bone chips like a potato chip, and in a few moments it eats the bone chips, and then it opens its mouth again.

"It also wants ......," Xiu said.

"Then feed it, not only the wing bones, but if you have the corpse of the moth, you can feed it too, and if you have extra mana, you can feed it too...... In short, eat a balanced diet so that it grows quickly. ”

Xiu nodded.

"When your tail can mimic something bigger, I have an idea, I promise you'll be interested." Summer Night said.

"What thoughts?"

"Secrecy now, hehe......"

She was selling Guanzi when Tang Li's voice suddenly came from the microphone.

"Mothbeast spotted right ahead."

The attention of the summer night was drawn to the past.

"How far is it? How many are there? Yaha asked.

Until this point, everyone, including Summer Night and Yaha, was calm. This is not the first time that the moth beast has been encountered on this voyage, and when Tang Li reports the "discovery", the target is probably still far away - far enough for Yaha to gather the management for a meeting, and then calmly adjust the course.

But Tang Li's next answer made Xia Ye almost think that she had heard it wrong:

"The target is less than 20 nautical miles away, and the number is ...... Only one ......"

"20 nautical miles? Not 120 nautical miles? Yaha confirmed

"That's right, it's 20 nautical miles, because it's so small, so I didn't notice it until I got so close."

Now Moby Dick is traveling at 180 knots, and even if those moths don't move, they will only have 6-7 minutes left before they collide head-on with it.

However, Tang Li said that the moth beast was small, and there was only one, so it might not be a troublesome obstacle......

But Yaha's expression suddenly became nervous.

She immediately gave the order: "Share what you see with us." ”

It didn't take long for the summer night to see the moth beast 20 nautical miles away. It is indeed very small, only 3-4 meters long, no wonder Tang Li has not been able to find it.

The moth's most striking feature is the seven wings on its head, and the shape of the wings, some of which resemble elongated four-leaf clover leaves, if you want to use a metaphor.

Each wing is about 3 meters long, and they form a circle like windmill blades, forming a circle, and in the center of the circle, there is a cavity densely covered with fine teeth. Behind the cavity is a cylindrical body, less than 2 meters long, with long tentacles trailing behind it, fluttering as they advance.

Their bodies are almost pure white and smooth, with only curved red lines on the front of the wings, one on the wing at 12 o'clock, two on the second wing and three on the third wing, clockwise...... And so on.

Compared to the two moths she had seen before, Xia Ye actually felt that this moth beast was quite normal in appearance, and it was not big, so she couldn't help but start thinking about whether to simply catch it and feed it.

But Yaha's expression became even more nervous when she saw the moth's appearance.

"Left full rudder! Don't go near that moth beast again! She shouted.

Immediately afterward, more orders were issued:

"The main gun and the secondary gun each load a delayed shotgun, turn to the starboard direction and wait for the order to fire!"

"First mate, is the body of the beluga whale still intact?"

"It's much better than I expected." The first mate's voice soon came, "Not much damage from whale breath. ”

"Good. You now gather all the Choppers at once, half on the back deck, and you lead the other half on the front deck. ”

"Roger."

It seems that the moth beast is much more troublesome than expected.

It wasn't until Yaha had finally finished giving the order that Summer Night asked, "Have you ever seen this moth?" ”

"Well, that's what I said before, the last time I went out to sea, I called them 'Buckleaf', and that time, I saw a whale besieged and killed by many Buckleaf Beasts."

"But now there's only one of them, and I remember you saying that this moth isn't that strong, is it?"

"Definitely. But ......"

Before Yaha finished speaking, Tang Li's voice sounded in the microphone again:

"The target is fast approaching us! Velocity...... It is impossible to judge, and the distance is only 5 nautical miles...... 3 nautical miles, 2 nautical miles. Hey? It stopped suddenly......"

"Because it found us."

Yaha sighed softly, "Helmsman, return to the rudder and let the ship sail due north, and don't go any further to the east." ”

With that, she walked to the window and looked at the sea of clouds on the starboard side. Soon, she pointed to a small white dot in the distance and said to Summer Night:

"It's there."

Following the direction of Jaha's finger, Summer Night soon saw it as well. The shippuffy had stopped swimming forward, and its entire body was "erected", and its seven wings were pointing towards the sky, slowly turning in a clockwise direction.

"What is it doing?" There was something strange about the summer night.

Yaha didn't answer directly: "In the past, I used to guess that the hunting method of the Buckleaf is like this: when searching for prey, they will spread out, and each Buckleaf will search an area. As soon as one of them spots its prey, it will stop and summon all its companions in the cluster like this. ”

"Since it's summoning companions right now, why don't we hurry up and attack? For example, if you shoot at it, maybe you will kill it? ”

"It can indeed kill it, but it doesn't work, if I'm not mistaken, its companion has been summoned to its side."

"Huh?" The summer night looked over again, but the airspace was still empty.

Just when she was wondering, Yaha had already ordered: "Main gun, fire in the direction of starboard for now!" ”

The cannon roared quickly, and the point of light of the time-lapse shotgun flew slowly towards the moth, and then, near it, exploded into countless rays of glowing radiation.

Each ray of radiation represents a projectile that flies into the seemingly empty airspace and hits something with a "bang".

Bang bang

Almost every projectile hit.

Immediately afterward, Xia Ye saw that beside the "lonely" horse chestnut, the same moth beast appeared one after another.

At first, only the Shippin that was hit gave up stealth.

But soon, more Shippin took the initiative to reveal their existence.

There were hundreds of them, arranged in a neat rectangular queue, like a grand wall, in the direction of the starboard side of the Moby-Dick.
