Now anyone who is not deaf can hear the noise. Sixus and the others turned around and saw this nightmare scene:
Under the dark clouds, the bright moonlight illuminates a ferocious sea monster.
Its body spread out in the air and twisted backwards, exposing its beak hidden in its abdominal cavity, biting towards Hitzfeld with its sharp teeth.
Hitzfeld knew it would be hard to dodge.
The area on the deck was not large enough for her to dodge.
So she had thought it through from the moment she chose to retreat.
"Pfft!"
There was another splash.
"Wow--"
She fell into the water with the monster.
Chapter 29 Giant Eel
"Aisun!?"
Hearing the noise outside, Xia Yibing and Ms. Feiti rushed out together.
She leapt out fast enough—fast enough that she even had time to catch the splash of water.
But it was no use, the person she cared about most was nowhere to be seen.
"What happened!" She rushed to Bill and grabbed his collar. "So many people can't watch over a girl? What do you and your people do for a living?"
"Calm down, Chief." Bill raised his palms to both sides of his cheeks, holding the cane between his thumbs. "This is our negligence... What we should do now is to find a way to save him."
"I don't need you!" The woman pushed him away fiercely, "I'll go by myself!"
She quickly took off her coat and shoes, and before Lu Xier could throw her the diving suit over—she didn't have time to change clothes! She jumped directly into the sea.
After the puff, there is a buzzing sound.
I forgot to bring earplugs, and the feeling of seawater pouring into my ears was not pleasant. The gurgling sound of the bubbles seemed to be covered by a layer of cloth, and I couldn't hear it very clearly.
But the biggest problem was not hearing but vision. The water was too dark and there was no trace of Hitzfeld at all.
Xia Yibing steadied herself in the water, reached down to her chest and fumbled around for a while, then pulled out a small flashlight.
She turned on the flashlight and it worked, but the search range was too short, and she shone the flashlight around but still found nothing.
Just then, she suddenly felt that it was daybreak.
The platinum-colored light projected from above the sea surface, illuminating the entire area, an underwater scene with a range of about ten meters and a depth of seven or eight meters.
"Fight this way! Right!"
On the boat, Jindu and Bill shouted at the top of their voices, directing all the ships to turn their lights over and form a searchlight network.
"You, hit this side, you, hit that side! Everyone else who has time, put on your diving suits, grab your weapons, and get ready to go into the water! We are going to hunt down those fishy beasts!"
Xia Yibing didn't know that there was an emergency mobilization going on above, her attention was drawn to the scene she saw.
With the light, the underwater world is visible. She soon found Hitzfeld, but she also saw the sea monster that caused the girl to fall into the water.
It looks like a combination of an octopus and a starfish. It is not small in size and its length should be more than eight meters.
The swimming speed of this thing is not slow at all, and its tentacles can reach several meters away. At this time, it seemed to be stimulated by the strong light projected from above, and the distance from Hitzfeld, which was only two or three meters away, suddenly widened and swam around the girl.
This is clearly not a choice to give up. It is conceivable that once it gets used to the light and finds that this thing has no effect on it, it will definitely continue to attack the girl.
You have no chance.
Xia Yibing's eyes turned cold and she swam downwards at the same time.
She observed her surroundings while swimming - confirming Hitzfeld's condition allowed her to regain her composure, and she had to consider whether there was only one such monster.
Fortunately, until they were only three or four meters away from the girl, they still didn't find the second monster. Xia Yibing breathed a sigh of relief, if there was only one, it would be easy to deal with.
But she soon noticed: Hitzfeld was shaking his head at her, looking very anxious.
Hmm... Such an urgent expression and action, but she didn't choose to wave her hands synchronously to "emphasize"? Instead, she continued to use her hands and feet to paddle desperately and swim to the side?
why?
Xia Yibing was puzzled, because if she was afraid of the monster, she should obviously swim in her own direction, and it was impossible for her to shake her head to convey the signal of "no" or "don't go any further".
This warning could not be directed at the monster I was currently seeing.
Conjectures emerged in the woman's mind.
She glanced down, at the dark seabed that still could not be reached by the strong light.
A strong sense of crisis emerged in her heart, and she immediately stopped rushing forward, observed the direction in which Hitzfeld was swimming, and began to swim in the direction in which she was escaping.
The two were on the run, with the starfish monster chasing them.
It swam faster and more efficiently. In three strokes it caught up with them, once again bending its underbelly out and opening its toothy beak to bite at Hitzfeld.
As a beast, it really didn't have much wisdom, but it also had intuition, and it could feel that the flesh and blood of this prey was more fragrant than other prey.
Seeing that the beak was about to bite the girl in two, even Hitzfeld felt that he was going to die, so he turned around and curled up his body.
But the next moment, a huge black shadow rushed out from below, grabbed the starfish monster in one mouthful, and rushed out of the sea like a train rushing out of the abyss, facing the strong light.
"Wow--"
The fleet witnessed the entire process.
The last second, they were still preparing to jump into the water to rescue people. But in the blink of an eye, the giant monster broke out of the sea and revealed its head and face in the moonlight.
It looks like a giant moray eel.
Its slender body was like a shuttle, and its body was vertically flat. Its mouth structure was even more exaggerated than that of the most ferocious ocean predator, the great white shark. Each tooth looked like a curved sword, and it had already pierced its prey, the starfish monster, into a sieve.
Judging from the comparison of the two sizes, the head of this giant monster alone is 3 meters long and wide, and the mouth is more than 4 meters long from the head to the root. The part that is exposed above the water alone is more than 20 meters long. It is definitely a true deep-sea monster.
People watched with horror as it stood upright on the sea, puffed up its cheeks to swallow the monster, and then stared over here with a pair of deformed eyes.
Its eyes were equally eerie.
The left eye is white and translucent, and not only is it bulging out, it is also located close to the top of the head.
The eye on the right was too normal, like the eye of a sea fish, sea snake or lizard of the same proportions, orange-yellow with a black vertical pupil in the center.
At this moment, the creature slightly turned its body and stared at the fleet with its orange-yellow vertical pupils. The terrible sense of oppression it brought made everyone unconsciously stop what they were doing, not daring to breathe.
To put it bluntly, this guy has the ability to wipe out their entire army.
Although the southeast cape is close to the shore and there is land not far away, the altitude factor must be considered here.
Why is it called Cape? Cape cliff is nearly thirty meters above the sea level. It is impossible to climb up without the help of tools and it takes a lot of time. To get ashore from here, you need to take a detour to find a beach to stop the boat, and this process is enough for the giant eel to overturn all the boats - it can do it more than twice!
"Everyone, don't move!" Ms. Feti's forehead was covered with sweat. She quickly ran to the searchlight of Jindu's ship and reached out to grab the handle of the lampshade.
The others didn't move, so when she made some movement, the giant eel immediately turned its attention over.
"..." The old woman's eyes twitched wildly. She pulled up the lampshade and shone the strong light onto the giant orange eye.
The giant eel was obviously irritated. It twisted in pain on the water, opened its huge mouth full of sharp teeth, and let out bursts of shrill howls.
"Everyone find the lights!" Feti continued to yell, "Prepare to turn off the lights - listen to my orders!"
"Do as she says!"
Bill reacted with a start and helped strengthen Feti's authority.
The others quickly took the opportunity to run to the lampshade, half out of fear and half out of confusion, and held the lampshade like the old woman, while pressing the light switch.
They paid more attention to the giant eel, and saw it gradually calm down, and slowly... it began to look over here with its dead white bubble eye.
"Turn off the lights!"
clap clap!
Almost at the same time, all the lights on the fleet went out.
The people led by Bill had strong execution capabilities, and they did everything perfectly - even turning off the lights inside the cabin.
The entire sea surface fell into darkness, and the shape of the giant eel also became blurred, with only a vague outline visible.
This is definitely not a good experience... Many people's legs are shaking with fear - when you know that something can kill you, but you can't see it clearly, the fear it brings will be multiplied.
But it turned out that Ms. Feti's order was effective: the black shadow squirmed in the moonlight, puzzled, as if it didn't understand why the prey it had just seen disappeared.
It began to try to move closer.
"do not move……"
Feti growled.
"Adjust the angle of the beam to make sure it's aimed at it."
The dark shadow of the giant eel is getting closer and closer.
It wasn't until it came to the middle of the fleet that the old woman suddenly shouted, "Turn on the light!"
clap clap!
Dozens of strong lights suddenly appeared, like sharp swords piercing through the darkness and shining on the giant eel's eyes.
The ugly sea monster opened its mouth and let out a panicked howl, then dropped its head and dived into the water, its raised tail overturning two small boats.
Chapter 30 Secret Realm
The capsizing of the two ships caused the fleet to panic again. This time, no matter how Ms. Feti shouted, it was useless. A group of people began to jump into the water and try to save people.
"Where's Hitzfeld? Where's Hitzfeld?" Sixus shouted anxiously as he walked around the edge of the boat.
She was not a normal person to begin with. Her body was deformed and she had lived a long time, so ordinary morality and emotions could no longer restrain her. So in her opinion, it didn't matter if all these people died. Their combined value was not as much as a hair of Hitzfeld's.
"Turn on the lights again!" At this time, Dai Lin finally demonstrated her powerful strength of the Golden Level. She first cooperated with Bill, Jindu and others to order everyone to turn on the lights again, and then jumped into the water, and actually used brute force to right a capsized boat.
This is definitely a huge force - even if only one-third of the ship was resting on the reef, its total weight would still be over three tons!
Without time to marvel, everyone worked together and finally rescued all the people who fell into the water within an hour.
"Hurrah!" Dai Lin climbed back on board with the help of the rope ladder. Bill was the first to come forward and said, "I must thank you for your help, Knight!"
"If you don't like talking nonsense, then don't say anything." Dai Lin acted very cold and turned to look at Feiti: "How do you know that light and darkness can be used as weapons?"
Bill stretched out his hand but got no response, so he could only pull it back and touch his nose awkwardly.
He discovered that although Dai Lin looked a little dull at ordinary times, when it came to serious matters, she was more serious than anyone else.
He was also quite curious and looked at the old woman at the same time.
How did she know she could use that method to deal with sea monsters?
"One large and one small eye structure, or completely transparent eye structure and body structure... these are all unique characteristics of deep-sea species." Ms. Feti explained while panting.
"If a deep-sea species has two different eyes, then the larger eye must be used to see the surface of the sea - it can sense light and is very sensitive to light, and can see the traces of prey from the slightest shadow in the light."
"The smaller eye is used to look downward because the deep-sea environment is dangerous from all angles, and while it is looking upward to feed on prey swimming above, it has to be wary of other predators doing the same below."
"Other predators?" Jindu shouted exaggeratedly, pointing at the gradually calming sea surface, "It must be thirty meters long! And you said there are other predators that can threaten it?"
"Nothing is impossible in the deep sea." Fiti glanced over with disdain. "Mathematics doesn't lie. Calculate the water pressure formula. If there are large deep-sea species surviving on the seabed plain, they can grow to hundreds of meters in length."
Jindu opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word, while Bill held his chin in thought.
"So that's how it is... So the transparent body structure is for making oneself invisible in a light environment?"
"You're quick to catch on, Mr. Ponko."
"So when it looks at us with its light-seeing eyes, its bubble eyes, you ask us to turn off the lights... so that all it sees is darkness; and when it chooses to look at us with its little eyes that see darkness, you turn on the light and shine it, taking advantage of this?"
"Exactly."
"Why else would they say that educated people are superior to others?" Bill sighed and nodded, "We all owe you our lives, ma'am."
"Is it useful to say so much? Huh? Is it useful?" Sixus began to pour cold water on them, and her tone even sounded a little crazy.
"What can we do with so many people saved! Aisuen Hitzfeld and Xiasha Imael are both missing! Is this the time for the deep sea class? Huh?"
"Even if you say so..." Bill began to touch his nose again, "We have indeed searched the nearby sea area, but it is also true that..."
Didn't find them.
