Two hours later, Ling Hao, Shui Lingxing and Tian Yong took the "Pippi Shrimp", and Shui Pei led a thousand mermaid warriors, all hiding behind a ridge next to the trench. Looking from the top of the mountain to the trench not far away , you can find that there is light coming out of it. The sharks are used to roaming the bottom of the sea, and no one is too full to provoke them, so there is no one standing guard outside the trench.
Ling Hao turned on the communicator and asked: "Xue Ting, have all the fish arrows on the Pipi Shrimp been replaced with high-explosive ones?"
"Everything has been changed, and the rate of fire has been adjusted to the maximum, ensuring a brutal effect."
The corner of Ling Hao's mouth raised in an arc: "Okay, wait for my order later." Then he looked at Shui Pei: "Chief Shui, let the soldiers sneak over quietly and surround this small trench. If any fish escapes, Just kill him, and in the end just leave a tongue for me to interrogate."
Shui Pei nodded and ordered the soldiers to ambush. Ling Hao looked at Shui Lingxing and Tian Yong and said, "I want to catch that person named Mia. You two, don't just kill people, help me pay more attention."
An encirclement was formed. Ling Hao waved his hand towards the "Pippi Shrimp" and then led Shui Lingxing and Tian Yong over the ridge.
The "Pippi Shrimp" quickly hovered above the trench, shooting fish arrows downwards like a machine gun. The sound of explosions continued, and the seabed began to tremble. Smoke, dust and sand poured out from the trench. It was also accompanied by the hoarse screams of the sharks, as well as pieces of flesh and body parts and dirty blood flying out.
Soon, the mermaids who were closer to the exit of the trench escaped. Each of them was shocked, but they met the mermaid warriors who were waiting for them and gnashing their teeth. These warriors may seem a little timid when fighting against the sharks under normal circumstances, but when they beat the drowned dog, they were extremely ferocious. The fish bone spears were stabbed out cleanly, and they directly pierced the sharks, and then used the shield with their left hand to attack the opponent. As soon as he hit it, he pulled out the spear and continued to look for the next target. A set of movements flowed smoothly, and the efficiency was extremely high. Soon, this group of mermaid soldiers emerged from the shadow of long-term defeat. They actually gained momentum and roared angrily. Even when they saw a female siren (a female mermaid), they dared to rush forward and make gestures.
Shui Pei was indeed brave. His trident was like a bolt of lightning in the sea, and he was able to fight three female sirens by himself without losing. Ling Hao had already sent Tian Yong and Shui Lingxing to join the battle circle, while he was staring closely at the inside of the turbulent trench. He was waiting, and the female siren named Mia was his prey.
Xueting controlled the "Pippi Shrimp" and continued to bombard the trench indiscriminately, fearing that she would have to shoot the arrow box empty before stopping. Suddenly, a black shadow flashed out from the trench and fled desperately against the seabed, so fast that it left an afterimage.
"Want to run?" Ling Hao sneered, and suddenly a dark golden light rose up from his body. His whole body seemed to turn into a stream of light, chasing the black shadow. Wherever he passed, the surge stirred up could actually catch him. The fighting mermaids and sharks were so shocked that they fainted.
There was a sound of gold and iron, and the two had already fought. The black shadow was directly smashed onto the seabed, and a cloud of mud and smoke suddenly rose. Immediately afterwards, a black shadow suddenly emerged from the smoke, and a white fish-bone knife stabbed Ling Hao's throat. Ling Hao's expression was indifferent, and he raised his "Dragon Arc" diagonally upward to block the opponent's fish-bone knife. At the same time, with a smooth stroke, the opponent's hand holding the knife was cut off. In just two moves, Ling Hao subdued the opponent.
"Are you Mia?"
"Who are you?"
"Zhenhai Longhu."
"Ah? We, the shark clan, have not offended you."
"It's a joke. You are attacking all the major ethnic groups in the four oceans, as if you want to dominate the sea. Doesn't this mean you haven't offended me? If you follow me obediently, if you dare to play tricks, I will fillet you!"
Two hours later, the battlefield returned to calm. The mermaids won the victory at the cost of sacrificing more than 40 warriors, wiping out three thousand mermaids. Of course, most of them were killed by Xueting's fish arrows. Even so, the mermaid warriors were all ecstatic, cheering and howling, as if they wanted to vent all the grievances accumulated in their hearts for hundreds of years. generally.
Ling Hao said to Shui Pei: "Popang has told me the locations of other families you know. We can find the rest ourselves. My next job is to lobby everywhere and unite all the forces that can be united. Get up. The crisis on your side has been resolved. Not a single shark has been released, so it will take a long time for new sharks to arrive. Before I come back, you must consolidate your defenses, actively prepare for war, and send as many people as possible at the same time. Searching around and contacting all the major races in the sea, and fighting against the mermaids is not entirely the mermaid clan’s business. Let’s leave first. I will interrogate this prisoner carefully. When I come back, it should be the eve of the war.”
As soon as he left, Ling Hao left simply, and Shui Pei was not easy to keep. After all, the shark crisis in "Paleus City" has been temporarily resolved, and there is not much good weather left on the sea. Ling Hao will do it next. There is still much to do in this war.
Three days of good weather are coming to an end, and the wind and waves on the sea have begun to gradually increase. Ling Hao and the others didn't even have time to interrogate the prisoners, so they escorted Mia back to the "Stone Crab". Shi Si immediately set sail and drove at full speed in the direction of the flat-topped mountain on the seabed. Watching Ling Hao and the others move boxes of treasures into the cargo hold with robotic arms, Mia smiled and said: "'Zhenhai Longhu', do you know how many treasures there are in the sea? They are inexhaustible. . I know that you live in human society. In fact, the disputes between various ethnic groups in the ocean have nothing to do with you, let alone provoke you. Why do you have to wade into this muddy water? How about this, I will take you to see our current queen. As long as you do not participate in the war in the ocean, our queen will definitely give you countless treasures, a hundred times more than what is here."
Ling Hao glanced at her and said disdainfully: "I like money, but I don't want any money. Your queen's name is Zina, right? Don't worry, I will definitely go find her, but not now , our next destination is the 'Puerto Rico Trench'."
"What, you are going to find the 'Deep Sea Family' of mermaids?" Mia sneered: "I'm afraid that when you arrive, there won't even be a single mermaid bone left there."
"Oh why?"
"Because...why should I tell you?"
"Didn't you express your kindness to me just now? Just tell me whatever you want, and you will have a piece of flesh. Besides, if they are really dead by the time I arrive, then it won't make any difference if you tell me now, right? "
"Hmph, it doesn't matter if I tell you. You're right. Even if you knew, it would be too late to save them. I heard that because the Deep Sea Family's Corolla City could not be captured for a long time, Her Majesty the Queen has sent General Alice led 10,000 elite troops to besiege. This was the news a month ago. The city must have been massacred now, so what is the use of your past?"
"That's just your guess." Ling Hao chuckled. A city that had not been conquered for a hundred years could be defeated in a month by adding 10,000 troops. It's not that simple.
After loading the treasure, Shi Si drove the "Stone Crab" to the surface quickly. Jiang Mingyu and others were waiting anxiously on the "Black King Kong". At this moment, the sea wave height had risen to 1.5 meters, and the "Stone Crab" could not be reached anymore. They would have to return to Hong Kong to take shelter.
"Quick! They're coming up!" Jiang Mingyu shouted from the control room.
Zuo Pengfei was running on the deck while directing the crew: "Hurry up and start the crane and lower the steel cable. You guys, prepare the fixing cables and fix the Stone Crab to the deck immediately. If it slips, Once we get off the ship, all the cranes will be out of service! Everyone, listen up! The rear deck is cleared, stay safe!"
After a thrilling scramble, the "Stone Crab" was lifted onto the deck amid 1.5-meter waves. All the crew members were dumbfounded as they watched boxes of jewelry, gold objects and gold bricks being loaded onto the ship. Is this a treasure hunt or a purchase? There is a mountain of gold under the water, so the money is so profitable, right?
Anne waved her hand and gave each person an additional fifty thousand US dollars in bonuses. The premise was that they must strictly abide by the gag order. All the crew members were excited. This time, in such a short time, they actually made money that they had not made in the past few years. Who would not? Are you happy? When they saw Ling Hao and others escorting a "humanoid sea monster" out of the cabin, they were all more shocked than when they saw the treasure, and they all froze on the deck.
The ship weighed anchor, escaped from the storm area, circled the Cape of Good Hope and crossed the Atlantic Ocean, heading towards the Caribbean Sea in Central America, with the goal of being the Puerto Rico Trench.
Although it was calm along the way, the width of the Atlantic Ocean was still beyond many people's imagination. It took nearly a week for the "Black King Kong" to sail into the "Lesser Antilles", which can be regarded as one foot stepping into the "Caribbean Sea" .
The Caribbean is a place full of legends. The scenery here is beautiful and resembles a tropical paradise. Since ancient times, there have been endless legends about pirates, sea monsters and sea monsters, which are both romantic and mysterious. However, Ling Hao was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery. He drove the "Pippi Shrimp" in the golden sunset and dived into the seabed with Tian Yong, Xueting and Shui Lingxing.
The "Corolla City" of the "Deep Sea Clan" is located in the eastern part of the "Puerto Rico Trench" with a depth of nearly 7,600 meters. This has almost reached the design limit of the "Pippi Shrimp". This time Xueting brought four spare arrows. The box contained six thousand high-explosive fish arrows. If they encountered an army of sharks, they would be ready to fight.
The sea conditions in the Caribbean are relatively simple. There is only a surface warm current with a velocity of 50 centimeters per second. The depth does not exceed 1,500 meters, which is called the "Caribbean Current." Below 1,500 meters, the ocean current speed is less than 5 centimeters per second. It is rich in aquatic products and is home to countless marine animals, so it is the habitat of the largest mermaid family.
Dive to the outer edge of the trench. The depth has reached 6,000 meters. It is pitch black all around. Only some deep-sea fish are attracted by the light of the deep submersible and swim around the "Pippi Shrimp". It seems to be an undersea desert. Where is it like? The battlefield where the two armies confront each other.
"Go down to the trench and have a look." Ling Hao did not hesitate. Xueting pushed the joystick, and the "Pippi Shrimp" plunged into the trench. This is a small trench, far inferior to those huge trenches caused by plate extrusion. Whether it is depth or width, it is far from being compared with deep-sea canyons such as the "Mariana Trench". The widest part is also It's less than a thousand meters. The trench is like a rugged winding path, with mountains and rivers ending at one moment, and then darkness and flowers blooming, twisting and turning like a maze.
Suddenly, the front suddenly opened up, and a huge crater from an unknown age appeared in front of us. A majestic city in the crater was like a mirage wrapped in the "Papua Matrix". God knows what lighting method the mermaids used, and the entire city was like a mirage. The city was as bright as day, and in the deep darkness of the sea, it was as brightly lit as a metropolis at night.
As expected, there were two armies outside the city, and they were already fighting fiercely. On one side were more than 3,000 mermaid warriors, holding spears and shields, and on the other side were about 5,000 mermaid soldiers, waving fish bones. Big swords, sea willow sticks and stone hammers have formed a melee situation where the canine teeth are intertwined and the two are caught and killed. However, there were about thousands of mermaid soldiers who did not join the battle, but were neatly arranged outside the battle circle. If they joined the battle, the three thousand mermaid soldiers would probably be wiped out. The mermaid side does not have a reserve team, so it is likely that it is a last-ditch battle.
Ling Hao asked Tian Yong to put on the "armor" diving suit while arranging the mission: "It seems that we are not too late. Let's destroy their reserve team first, and leave the general named Alice to me. If the melee continues, Tian Yong, Shui Lingxing, I, and I will go to help. If the sharks start to flee, Xueting will drive the 'Pippi Shrimp' to bombard them from the outside and kill as many as they can."
Suddenly there was a roar, and there were continuous explosions in the shark reserve team. The "Pippi Shrimp" opened fire a few hundred meters away. The sharks always fight in a hand-to-hand way. I have never seen this battle before. Everyone was so frightened that they were at a loss. Even General Alice, who was standing at the front of the team, was stunned and had no idea what was happening.
They didn't respond, which didn't mean that Xueting would stop shooting. The explosion of each fish arrow would take the lives of several sharks. Blood surged, and the remains of limbs and flesh flew. Even the soldiers from both sides who were fighting in the melee stopped. After getting off the fight, he looked here blankly.
With a shrill roar, Alice discovered the "Pippi Shrimp". With a finger of the fishbone sword in her hand, hundreds of sharks around her rolled up a black vortex like a swarm of locusts and rushed towards the "Pippi Shrimp". Come over.
The snow-like sword light illuminated the trench in an instant, and thin sword auras intertwined into a net, covering the crowd of sharks rushing over, as fast as lightning. The net of sword light was not used for fishing. From a distance, it looked like it was passing by groups of sharks without any hindrance, and then disappeared without a trace. Immediately afterwards, the sharks turned into fragments and fell to the seabed, like rain. Hundreds of sharks were killed instantly with one move. Tian Yong held the "Sword of Damocles" as if he was a swordsman, so fierce. Even Ling Hao was a little frightened by its lethality.
The shark general Alice was also frightened by this scene. Before she could recover, a figure suddenly appeared beside her with a flash of dark golden light. A bloody sword light with a heart-stopping murderous intent had already appeared. It was so close to her neck.
"Who are you?" Alice shouted and slashed her sword horizontally. With a "dang" sound, she actually drove away Ling Hao's fatal sword. She is indeed an old sea monster who has lived for hundreds of years. Her strength is indeed extraordinary. .
"'Zhenhai Longhu' Ling Hao, you can rest at ease!" Ling Hao was quite annoyed at the missed blow. The moment the weapons met, he chose to change his move, switching from chopping to stabbing. The tip of the knife was sent directly to the opponent's heart, and he raised his hand at the same time. He kicked the opponent's abdomen.
When it comes to fighting, humans have an advantage over mermaids, that is, humans have legs that can be used as weapons for flexible attacks, while mermaids and mermaids only have one tail, which is used to maintain the balance of the body in the water, and basically have no ability to attack. ability. Although Alice managed to dodge Ling Hao's second knife, she was kicked hard in the abdomen. The pain made her bend over while holding her stomach. How could Ling Hao give up this opportunity? He caught up with him like a shadow, chopped it with a knife, and a head fell off. On the face of the disembodied head, Alice's expression of reluctance and fear was still there, forever frozen in the moment of death.
