Chapter 911 From the bottom of the sea
The three Gordons bent their legs to lower their center of gravity, put their knees against the side of the boat to use force, and pulled the fishing rod backward with all their strength.
Several fishing rods bent at alarming arcs, making people worry that they would break in the next second.
Fortunately, the toughness of these fishing rods provided by Aziz is also surprising. I don’t know what kind of monster material they are made of. The bending angle is almost more than 90 degrees, but they are still strong and show no signs of breaking.
“This is not a **** fish!” Gordon growled, his muscles bulging. As the strongest of the three, he seemed to be the main force in pulling the rod.
Getting a blanket, Gale, who was lying on the front deck basking in the sun, heard the movement here and ran over.
"What are you doing?" She looked curiously at the three people who were trying their best to pull the fishing rod and fight against the underwater creatures.
“Fishing.!” Gordon said through gritted teeth.
“Gail, Miss! Give me a hand!” Aziz, who was also bulging with veins, said with difficulty.
“Interesting? Come on, come on!” Gale helped grab the fishing rod in Az’s hand.
“Are you tight?” Az asked.
“Hurry up!”
Azi suddenly let go of his hand. Gale didn't react and was almost dragged directly into the sea.
“Why did you let go?!” Gale screamed as he struggled to pull the fishing rod.
The fishing rods in the hands of Gordon and the others were also two points heavier. Even though Gale was working hard, as a light crossbow user, there was still a gap in strength between her and Az, who was used to using long spears.
“Hold on, go down and take a look!”
With that said, Aziz put on the helmet hanging on his waist, pulled down his visor and buckled the waterproof buckle, then grabbed the spear beside him and jumped into the sea.
Soon, the movement from the fishing rod became more intense.
It’s not the tug-of-war like before, but a struggle that keeps changing direction.
Gail struggled to control the fishing rod, and did not forget to turn around and shout loudly, asking the people on the deck to come over and help.
Soon, two crew members who were cleaning the deck and a passing logistics staff joined in to help pull the rod.
A few minutes, or perhaps ten minutes later, the force on the fishing rod suddenly began to weaken. At the same time, a large area of red blood appeared under the sea surface.
After a while, Aziz, holding a spear, poked his head out from under the sea.
He lifted up his waterproof visor, grinned his white teeth and shouted to the deck, "Thanks to you for holding it, the hunting and fishing was successful! It's a big fish!"
You just wanted to say that the hunt was successful, right? !
One crew member threw down the rope ladder so that Aziz could climb onto the side of the ship. Another crew member ran to turn the pulley boom on the foredeck and called for more help.
A group of people worked hard and finally pulled the twitching big guy out from under the water and hung it on the edge of the deck.
That should be a ichthyosaur, or a relative of the ichthyosaur that lives in the ocean? The bright lantern ball is quite conspicuous even in the sun.
The overall body shape of this big fish, or sea dragon monster, is narrower and longer than that of the lantern fish dragon, with the overall length being about seven or eight meters.
Aziz and the crew were holding several sharp and narrow fish-cutting knives, preparing to disembowel this guy first and cut out the fish liver, which is a delicacy but is highly perishable.
More people gathered on the deck.
Some biologists have already taken out pens and paper and are sketching quickly.
They do not think that this fish, this sea dragon monster, should be roughly classified as a lantern fish dragon. After all, one is a pelagic species, and the other is a freshwater species that inhabits submerged forests and swampy rivers.
In terms of kinship, it may not be as close as the Fire Dragon and the Ceratopsian.
However, no one noticed that a large amount of blood with a strong fishy smell flowed along the deck and side of the ship into the sea.
Under the sea, a flash of lightning that was completely different from before became brighter and brighter.
“Hang it higher!”
An experienced old sailor waved his arms and directed the other crew members, "You have to lift it completely, otherwise it will be too soft to cut out the complete fish liver!"
Just as the crew moved the ladder and were ready to take the knife, there was a roar from the side of the ship as a huge thing came out of the water.
“Boom—!”
The scales on its body are pale, its back is covered with blue thorns, and the sea monster with a body length of more than 20 meters rushes onto the deck, bites the sea dragon monster hanging there, and tears off large pieces of flesh.
The people gathered on the deck suddenly exploded.
“It’s the White Sea Dragon!” Aziz was the first to recognize the identity of the monster that jumped onto the deck. As the only hunter present who was fully armed and had a weapon in hand, he immediately set up his spear and shield, and looked carefully at the white sea dragon tearing apart the carcass of the big fish.
"Non-combatants evacuate immediately!" Gordon yelled, "Gale! Go control the crossbow on the deck! Aziz entangles it first. If it doesn't actively damage the ship, don't anger it!"
After saying that, he and Hayata ran towards the cabin.
Although they wear armor on a daily basis, they do not carry weapons on their bodies.
I hope Aziz can hold that guy back.
Just as he was thinking this, another figure rushed over quickly, it was Mr. Mecca.
He took off the insect stick behind him and put it under his arm. At the same time, he turned his head and said to Gordon and the others: "Don't forget to bring the float and respirator. You may need underwater combat."
Gordon responded and rushed into the cabin without stopping.
Hearing the commotion on the deck, the hunter quickly ran out of the cabin with his weapon in hand.
Ted, who smelled of alcohol, looked at the white sea dragon on the deck, rubbed his eyes, and after confirming that it was not an illusion, he held up his blunderbuss and large shield, and roared at it.
Macca, and Oshura followed.
Seeing that the hunters' support was in place, Mecca shouted, "Attack! Drive it back to the sea in one go. If it runs wild on the deck, it will damage the ship!"
There are ten high-ranking hunters on this boat. If it were on land, although the sea dragon subspecies was strong, it would never be able to make any waves.
But this is in the middle of the ocean.
If the ship is destroyed by it, the people in the ship will never be able to swim to the New World.
Gordon and Hayata rushed into the room, took their weapons, and grabbed the floats and respirators hanging on the wall of the room as life-saving equipment.
Quickly fix the floating blocks on the armor.
This is thanks to the shark hunting trip in Mojia Village that year, which exposed them to naval battles that most hunters would not be involved in.
Logically speaking, the fixation and arrangement of floating blocks are very particular. The buoyancy should be just enough for the hunter to float in the water, and the layout should be reasonable so as not to affect the movement too much.
It is also necessary to conduct experiments and adjustments in advance.
But now the situation is urgent and I can’t worry about too much. According to the method Aziz taught me in my memory, it will be considered completed when it is hung up roughly.
"Walk!"
The two people quickly completed their preparations and ran towards the deck.
By this time, most of the hunters had gathered on the deck.
Under the suppressive attacks of the superior hunters and several heavy crossbows, the White Sea Dragon roared.
While releasing a large amount of current, it continues to retreat.
Relying on his thick armor, Ted roared and rushed in front of Bai Hailong's face. He thrust forward with his shield and pulled the trigger at the same time.
“Dragon Cannon!”
“Boom—!”
The explosion of flames and shock waves caused Bai Hailong to fall back.
Being used to using the support hand to join the battle with the katana sword, Evelin's mind was very flexible. She noticed the huge gong near the rudder used to scare (he) monsters, and immediately rushed over, picked up the hammer and struck it.
“哐——!”
The metallic sound that does not exist in nature startled the white sea dragon. It roared back to the edge of the deck and jumped into the sea.
Many people on deck breathed a sigh of relief.
Mecca and Aziz were still nervous, even more nervous than before.
Without saying a word, Aziz fastened his mask and chased into the sea.
Mecca reminded everyone loudly, "The sea dragon is very vengeful and will not let us go easily unless it is seriously injured and makes it feel scared!
Everyone, get ready for battle! Protecting the ship is the first priority! "
Gordon and Hayata, who were already ready for a water battle, also came to the deck at this time. The two looked at each other and jumped into the sea.
