Chapter 3 The East China Sea and the Giant Pincers
"Gods and Demons" has clouds, the east of Middle Earth, and the boundless sea, blue and transparent, without boundaries.
Lin Zhuo traveled day and night, and finally arrived at a small fishing village called 'Hanzhu' on the shore of the East China Sea seven days later.
Along the way, she could clearly feel the air getting more and more humid, and halfway through the 'Easy Stream', she thought about it, but still put away the idea of going to see the golden bottle.
At this time, at the time of sunrise, on the distant sea level, a red sun is rising, and the sea surface is full of red scales, which is very beautiful.
Lin Zhuo stretched and narrowed his eyes. Under the squirming of the placket in her arms, Xiao Cha's little head stretched out of it.
It was clearly still in a daze, with a pair of large eyes half-open and half-closed, full of dazed, shaky appearance.
I don't know why, since the weather slowly became colder, it became more and more sleepy, and since the Qingyun Mountain, it has been in a half-dreamy and half-awake state.
In the 'Shanhaiyuan' has been sleeping in the inn for one night, not to mention, this way over basically hiding in Lin Zhuo's arms and sleeping, Lin Zhuo thought it was sick at first, but later found that although it was sleepy, but the amount of food did not decrease but increased, so he was relieved.
Lin Zhuo took it out of his shirt and hugged it in his arms, and the little thing found a comfortable position by itself again, and slowly closed his eyes.
Touching its little head, it twisted impatiently.
Lin Zhuo chuckled and didn't care, but instead enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the seaside, and at this moment, an eight or nine-year-old boy ran out of the fishing village behind him, saw Lin Zhuo here, and shouted: "Sister Lin, Auntie has made breakfast, let me call you to eat! After eating, Daddy is about to go to sea!"
The boy's accent was a little strange, but he could still understand it.
Lin Zhuo responded when he heard this, walked over and rubbed the boy's head, and the two walked towards the village together.
There are only more than ten households in this small fishing village, and all of them make a living from fishing, although they are afraid of many monsters in the deep sea on weekdays, and most of the time they are only active in the shallow sea nearby, but when it comes to the familiarity of this sea area, it is estimated that no one knows better than them.
Lin Zhuo was really unable to figure out the place, so he was ready to find an old fisherman to go to sea together.
The boy's name is Ersil, Lin Zhuo once thought that this was his nickname, but after asking about it, he learned that he only had this one name since he was a child.
He pulled Lin Zhuo straight to the table, his dark little face was full of happiness, and said, "Sister, try the food cooked by A-Niang, it's delicious." ”
The fisherman's breakfast is generally more sumptuous, because he may not be able to come back for the whole day after going to sea in the morning, so he will eat well at breakfast, but today because of Lin Zhuo, a guest, it is obviously more abundant than in the past.
Lin Zhuo glanced at the slightly luxurious meals on the table for this family, and then set his eyes on the husband and wife who were still busy working by the stove.
The husband and wife are also old children, and the two have dark skin unique to the seaside, and they have been diligent all their lives and worked hard to maintain their lives.
"Uncle, aunt, don't be busy, you can't finish cooking too much. Lin Zhuo said with a smile.
The man at the stove put down the firewood in his hand when he heard this, turned around and smiled honestly: "Don't worry, it'll be fine right away." ”
Not long after, the eldest aunt brought a big bowl of milky white and tender fish soup, and Lin Zhuo's index finger moved when she saw it.
Xiao Cha, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, also smelled the smell, and after his nose twitched twice, he suddenly opened his eyes and struggled to pass.
If it weren't for Lin Zhuo grabbing it, I'm afraid that a large piece of Duoji would have flown on the table at this time.
Lin Zhuo smiled awkwardly, but the boy seemed to have been prepared, and took out a small bowl from behind him.
After filling a bowl of fish soup and placing it on the stool next to Lin Zhuo, he looked at Xiaocha with a little curiosity and a face full of anticipation.
Lin Zhuo thanked him, but Xiaocha had already pounced, bowing his head and swallowing.
When the husband and wife cleaned up and sat down on the table, everyone also started, and within a while, a table of food was cleaned up, and it is worth mentioning that half of the big bowl of fish soup went into Xiaocha's stomach.
The little boy didn't eat much, and spent most of his time watching tea. After eating, the woman cleaned up, and the man took Lin Zhuo straight to the beach.
In a small leeward harbor, several large and small fishing boats were docked in it, and the man was not good at words, so he just glanced at Lin Zhuo and went to clean it up by himself.
In the little boy's slightly hopeful gaze, about half a pillar of incense, the man was ready, greeted Lin Zhuo, and both of them got on a relatively large ship.
The man turned to the boy on the beach and waved his hand to signal him to go back, and the boy shouted, "Daddy, remember to help me catch the little whitebait." ”
Seeing that the man nodded, he shouted at Lin Zhuo again: "Sister Lin, goodbye!"
Lin Zhuo smiled and nodded, and the two left the shore under the boy's gaze, and gradually disappeared into the rising sun.
Lin Zhuo's two lives combined are also the first time to go to sea, as a landlubber, she is obviously a little excited at the moment.
Feeling the sea breeze blowing in my face and looking at the sparkling sea, I only felt open-minded for a while, and all my thoughts were left behind.
However, this situation lasted for half a day, and after half a day, Lin Zhuo gradually became bored.
At this time, she hid under the cloth shed on the boat, holding a small jade bottle in her right hand, and slowly sipped it without taking a sip.
Xiaocha was also lying on the wooden board next to her, and if she listened carefully, there was still a slight snoring sound.
Lin Zhuo glanced at it with a little disgust, and simply got up and walked out of the cabin.
The midday sun was still a bit fierce, and the man controlled the rudder of the ship, and from time to time he looked at the surrounding sea.
Along the way, the color of the sea water gradually deepened, revealing a little breathtaking profundity in the dark blue.
Lin Zhuo stepped forward, raised his hand and handed the man a bottle of sake, and said, "Uncle, how long will it take us to arrive?"
The man shook his head and rejected Lin Zhuo's wine, and said, "Miss Lin, the 'Liubo Mountain' you mentioned is on the 'Liubo Island' at the junction of the near sea and the far sea, and I only went there once when I was young, so I'm not sure if I can really find it." ”
Lin Zhuo waved his hand and said, "It's okay, uncle, just try to find it, if you really can't find it, I'll figure it out myself." ”
The man groaned, nodded, and said, "That's all it can be." ”
And while the two were talking, the waves on the sea seemed to be a little bigger, and even the boat shook a little more violently.
The man's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly looked at the surrounding sea.
The anomaly was discovered by Lin Zhuo first, and with her current eyesight, it is indeed not comparable to ordinary people. Far away on the right side of the boat, there were white waves on the surface of the sea from time to time, as if there was a huge object stirring the water under the sea.
After a while, the man also noticed the anomaly here, his face was serious, and he changed direction with a sharp turn of the rudder in his hand.
But before he could sail far, with a heavy chirp, the largest figure Lin Zhuo had ever seen jumped out of the sea, mixed with a splash of water.
This giant shadow is a giant whale, with a light gray body and a single horn on its head, and the moment it jumps out of the water, it seems to cover the sky and the sun, and it is impossible to see the whole picture.
"It turned out to be a greyback narwhal. The man breathed a sigh of relief and slowly relaxed.
Lin Zhuo was a little surprised by the size of this whale, and was about to ask a question, but unexpectedly, a giant pincer suddenly burst out of the sea, and one of them clamped the tail of the giant whale and dragged the giant whale back into the sea.
Suddenly, the sea rolled over, and the red blood stained a large area of the sea.
The man's face changed greatly, the rudder of the ship under his hand turned sharply, and he sailed into the distance without saying a word, but Lin Zhuo next to him was still a little stunned at the moment, the giant whale was already big enough, but he didn't expect that this other creature that didn't know what it was could clamp the giant whale's tail with just one pincer and make it unable to break free.
She swallowed her saliva, looked at the silent man on the side, and asked, "Uncle, this... What is this thing?"
The man was not slow at all, and replied: "This is a demon beast called the 'Seven-Eyed Dragon Claw Crab', which is brutal and bloodthirsty by nature, and is the most favorite monster to attack fishing boats in the nearby waters. ”
After a pause, a trace of hatred appeared on his face, and then said: "My father was attacked by this kind of demon beast, why..."
Lin Zhuo was also silent when he heard this, and after a long time, seeing that there was no movement behind him, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
But just when the two thought they were out of danger, a white line shot out with lightning speed, and in the blink of an eye, they were almost chasing to the stern of the ship.
Under the man's desperate gaze, the white line came to a standstill, and in the midst of the splash, a huge crab claw slowly rose out of the sea and slammed straight towards the ship, which was no more than a third of its size.
