In the waters adjacent to the East China Sea and the high seas, more than a dozen light blue ships docked here, almost blending into the sea. The bright red flags fluttered under the blue sky and white clouds, solemn and majestic.
The Daxia Navy was patrolling nearby and quickly evacuated after receiving news of the coming storm at sea.
Although they were not greatly affected, judging from the footage transmitted back from the surveillance video, the scale of this waterspout was huge. Once sucked into it, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Fan Haiqing, a colonel, frowned slightly and looked at the waterspout raging on the sea in the video. "Didn't the meteorological department detect a waterspout of this level?"
The Naval Meteorological Department is different from ordinary meteorological detection. It serves the country and the military. The instruments are all the most advanced and high-end. If the coming of a waterspout is predicted in advance, the ship will never be allowed to go out to perform tasks.
This time it was lucky that it was not sucked in. Whenever a warship was damaged, it would be an immeasurable loss to Daxia.
Major Wei Yifan shook his head, "We also checked with the Meteorological Department when we went to sea. The weather on the route has been stable in recent days. There has never been such a large-scale maritime disaster."
"That's strange, even the Meteorological Department didn't detect it."
A look of deep thought flashed across Fan Haiqing's face. The Naval Meteorological Department did not dare to say that the survey rate was 100%, but a natural disaster of this scale could basically be foolproof.
"Is there any feedback from the land side? Has the waterspout landed?"
If a waterspout lands, it may cause huge losses to the coastal economy. Thinking of this, Fan Haiqing's eyebrows became a little heavier.
"The meteorological department said that the waterspout did not land ashore and suddenly disappeared halfway through the journey. They also studied it afterwards and found that the conditions at sea at that time were not sufficient to form a waterspout, and the reason for the disappearance was not found."
This statement does not sound like a military meteorological observatory, but more like an amateur. In fact, it is the military meteorological observatory that has really tried its best. However, this waterspout incident is really strange.
"Request the latest information from the meteorological department and let's go take a look nearby."
Under the leadership of Fan Haiqing and Wei Yifan, several warships were dispatched and headed towards the sea area where the waterspout had previously been formed.
…
The vast sea stretches as far as the eye can see, and you can't tell whether it's the sky or the cape. It's a completely blue world, with flocks of seagulls chasing the waves and heading here.
It looks peaceful and tranquil, even the sea water is rippling slightly, but upon closer inspection, there seems to be an undercurrent surging deep in the sea water.
The seagulls wandering in the sky noticed something, flapped their wings, and immediately turned around and flew to other places.
The warship of Shenzhao Kingdom has approached the little red dot displayed on the radar detector.
"Sir, the instrument shows that the creature should be nearby."
Yamano Koichi looked at the blue water and said: "Could it be some special marine life? Put in the submersible to observe the situation."
Through electronic monitoring, Yamano Koichi and others can clearly see the scene under the sea, green algae, various fish and shrimps, and the colorful ocean world is displayed in their field of vision.
The submersible scope continues to move towards the specific position shown by the red dot, getting closer and closer to the red dot.
Everyone stared at the screen intently, wanting to see what kind of creature it was. It was so mysterious that there was no information about it in the database.
The originally clear water suddenly became turbid, and the picture became blurry.
Yamano Hongichi frowned and said, "Why can't I see clearly suddenly?"
The operator pressed a few buttons on the instruction desk, "Maybe the camera is blocked by something."
In the blurry picture, a shadow could be vaguely seen. It must be that creature, but because of the angle, they didn't know how big the creature was.
The picture was getting darker and darker, and the creatures in the dark were also watching them. There was nothing in the video, but everyone felt the gaze, and felt inexplicably uneasy.
"Adjust the angle and take a look."
Yamano Hiroichi moved closer, wanting to see it more clearly.
The dark screen is like a giant beast hiding its head and preying on people. You never know what kind of scene will appear in the next second.
'Wow! '
At this moment, a huge green eye suddenly appeared on the screen!
An unknown creature is observing them through the camera!
Under the huge impact, Yamano Hongichi couldn't help but take a few steps back.
They were obviously observing, but they actually had the illusion of being spied on. For a while, it was unclear who the observer was.
The moment they saw this eye, everyone felt like they were falling into the abyss, their whole bodies were wrapped in icy sea water, and the huge pressure of the deep sea was crushing towards them, almost making them unable to breathe.
That look was simply beyond words. By the time they came to their senses, the green eyes had disappeared.
It seemed that what they had just seen was just their illusion.
"That eye—"
Before Yamano Koichi finished speaking, the screen shook violently, and soon a bright red cross appeared on the screen, which meant that the submersible scope and the command platform lost contact.
There was silence in the air, and everyone was immersed in the scene just now.
After a long time, someone swallowed their saliva and broke the silence, "What kind of creature was that just now?"
"Is it an octopus?"
"How could an octopus have green eyes?"
"Maybe it's a lantern fish? The green eyes we just saw are actually the refraction of light?"
"It's also possible. Maybe it's the reflection from the fish scales."
The ocean accounts for 71% of the earth's surface and is the largest known exploration area. Although science and technology are advancing rapidly, humans have only explored 5% of the ocean area, and the remaining 95% is unknown.
The sea is full of dangers for humans, but at the same time it has an inexplicable attraction. We want to find out what is there.
It was like the people in Shenzhao Kingdom in front of them were excited and excited after being shocked, wanting to find out what this creature was.
They are confident that they have advanced warships that are enough for them to conquer this sea area.
"Catch this creature, I want to see what it is."
People who have no respect for nature will eventually be attacked by nature.
The sea breeze suddenly became violent, and the blue water turned extremely dark green. A huge wave crashed over, causing countless waves and ripples, and even the ship shook slightly.
However, no one on the boat took it to heart. They have been at sea all year round and have long been accustomed to slight shaking.
A huge shadow is under this sea area, even the water has become deeper, and judgment is coming at this moment.
The unknown creature detected by Shenzhao Kingdom was Ye Qin.
The two sea areas are very close. In order to absorb the spiritual energy of the nearby water, he unknowingly came to the high seas and was detected by the instruments of Shenzhao Kingdom.
Looking at the ships above his head, and even trying to spy on himself, Ye Qin's emerald green eyes flashed a cold look,
I don't know when, a large dark cloud hovered above the ship, and the waves in this sea area became turbulent.
"boom!"
Just when everyone was about to start fishing, there was a muffled sound from the hull, as if something was slapping on it.
The violent impact made Yamano Hongichi unsteady. If he hadn't been quick to hold on to the railing with his quick eyes and hands, he might have fallen to the ground at this moment. He quickly shouted: "Baga! What's going on!"
"Something is hitting the hull!"
Without exception, it must be the creature under the ocean. Such behavior is undoubtedly provocative to Yamano Hiro.
Yamano Hiroshi had a sinister look in his eyes, "Aim at the specific location of the creature and attack with torpedoes! It doesn't matter whether it's life or death."
The adjutant under his command was hesitant, "But if the noise is too loud, will it attract people from other countries? What if they think we are attacking?"
"This is the high seas, what are you afraid of? And there is no such thing as an accident, I will take responsibility if something happens!"
With Yamano Hongichi's words of assurance, everyone felt relieved.
The torpedo operator quickly completed loading, and the combatant's right index finger fell on the launch button.
"three!"
"two!"
"one!"
"emission!"
Looking at the position of the little red dot on the indicator, the launch button quickly sank.
A torpedo quickly landed on the sea level like a hurricane at a speed of 55 knots.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by a dull sound, like the roar of a monster, the smell of gunpowder smoke floated on the sea surface, and several water splashes instantly appeared.
If it were before, Ye Qin might still be afraid of the power of torpedoes. After all, hot weapons are not so easy to resist!
But after he turned into a dragon, his body was already very hard, and he was no longer afraid of ordinary hot weapons. .
The green scales are like the strongest armor, and a few torpedoes cannot break through his defense.
And he was extremely fast, let alone hitting, he couldn't even touch the edge of the scales.
For a time, the originally turbid sea surface became more blurry, and the dark green continued to turn into black and green, forming an unfathomable crack.
Those green eyes were staring quietly at the edge of the abyss, with a chilling light.
Shenzhaoguo's actions did not cause any substantial harm to Ye Qin, but they angered him.
The small boat is like a lonely boat floating in the vast ocean. It may be dragged down at any time, but the people on the boat are completely unaware of the upcoming danger.
The smell surging above the sea water makes people more and more uneasy.
Looking at the still active little red dot on the monitor, the soldier couldn't help but widen his eyes and subconsciously blurted out: "How is this possible!"
Several torpedoes were launched in succession but none of them hit, which made Yamano Hiroichi wonder whether the launcher had not aimed, and his tone was a bit manic.
"What's wrong with you? You can't even hit such a big target."
To put an end to their speculations, the creature was huge and should be easy to target.
"Captain, it is too fast."
The launcher was also in trouble. At such a fast speed, the human eye could not distinguish it. Even with the help of instruments, the torpedo landing location would be slightly off.
What's even more strange is that they have clearly determined the location, but the coordinates projected by the torpedo are different from the original ones.
It seemed that there was an inexplicable force in the ocean that changed the trajectory of the torpedo.
The red dot on the instrument kept circling the ship, apparently lingering nearby, as if mocking their incompetence.
Yamano Koichi had reason to doubt whether this creature had a super high IQ.
After all, with such speed, they couldn't stop him if he wanted to escape.
While avoiding torpedoes, it would also hit the hull at the right time, and the vibrations became more and more intense. At first, everyone could barely stand, but when they got to the back, even if they were holding on to the railings, they felt like they were about to fall.
At this moment, Yamano Koichi did not realize the seriousness of the matter, and looked a little disdainful. Warships are all tested for earthquake resistance. Even if they face a storm at sea, they can pass through it safely. This impact poses no threat to them at all.
"Continue the attack!"
However, the next moment, a deafening loud noise suddenly came.
The entire ship tipped to one side, the huge wind and waves had submerged the safety line of the warship, and the white waves chilled everyone.
Even the walls of the ship had a lot of debris falling on them, and there were even cracks on the glass.
An unprecedented chill filled everyone's hearts. This ship was not the largest among the warships, but it was not small in size. What kind of creature could produce such a big impact?
"Beep beep beep!"
A piercing alarm sounded, and at the same time a red exclamation point appeared on the display, like a loud slap hitting Yamano Koichi hard on the face.
"The captain is in trouble. Our ship's hull has been damaged. If the collision continues like this, there may be immeasurable danger."
Yamano Koichi's face turned blue and white, "How is it possible? How is it possible that carbon-based organisms can hit the frigate!"
However, no matter how much he didn't believe it, the facts were before his eyes.
At this time, they still didn't know what this creature was. The creature hidden under the ocean posed a huge threat to them, far beyond Yamano Koichi's expectation.
They are on the ocean, but the other is under the ocean. One is in the light and the other is in the dark. The situation is very unfavorable for them.
Now it seems that unless the cruiser is activated, it is impossible to compete.
Yamano Hiroshi made a prompt decision, "Turn around, sail away from this sea area, and dispatch the fleet to come back."
The huge shadow is like a giant beast in the deep sea, with its mouth wide open and following closely behind the Shenzhao Kingdom's ship. It's too late to escape now.
The pilot looked at the small red dots on the instrument, with a look of horror on his face, "Ship, Captain, this creature is following!"
I didn’t expect this creature to be so vindictive!
Immediately, the familiar feeling of impact followed.
The entire hull was swaying. It was obviously a warship, but at this moment it was like a small boat swaying in the storm, and it was in danger of being capsized at any time.
"Attack! Stop what this creature is doing!"
Yamano Koichi's voice was full of anxiety, no longer as peaceful and contemptuous as before. The torpedo still had no effect and could not stop the creature's attack. It was like a mud cow entering the sea, except for causing a huge splash, it had no effect.
The turbulent sea water roared and raged, and the sudden wind and waves were like a giant beast rolling in it, trying to swallow all the ships that challenged its authority before it could calm down its anger.
Yamano Hongichi looked at the black sea water, his heart filled with regret. The dark clouds in the sky were getting heavier and heavier. The two blended together, and it was no longer clear which was the sky and which was the sea.
This scene, which was like the end of the world, made everyone look horrified. They had been sailing on the sea for many years and had never seen such a large battle.
Soon enough, the creature struck again. In the flash of lightning, Yamano Koichi also saw the huge green tail cut through the water, and the entire sea water was divided into two halves, as if he was meeting his king.
The scales shone with a strange green light and quickly sank into the abyss, bringing endless fear and pressure to him. His eyes were so wide that his eyes almost fell off.
"Weird, monster!"
In great panic, Yamano Koichi lost his balance, and coupled with the violent shaking of the hull, he was about to fall into the sea. The crewman next to him quickly pulled him back.
Yamano Hiroichi swallowed his saliva. His face was filled with panic as he saved his life. That tail did not belong to any known creature in the world. It was definitely a deep sea monster.
"There's a monster, run away."
Although they didn't know what Yamano Koichi saw, seeing his appearance made other people feel creepy, and there was an unspeakable feeling of fear in their hearts.
There are only ships from Shenzhao Kingdom in this sea area, and there is no way to find anyone for help.
"Send a distress signal quickly and see if there are any ships nearby."
The signal has been sent, but no response has been received for a while.
Yamano Hongichi was already panicking. He had just inadvertently seen the true form of the monster and was almost frightened to death. No matter what methods they used, they could not get rid of the huge shadow in the sea.
The sound of impact became stronger and stronger, like the footsteps of the God of Death. If time could be turned back, Yamano Koichi would never choose to arrest this order.
They won’t even set foot in this sea area!
At this moment, everyone no longer dared to stay on the deck. If they were not careful, they would fall into the vast sea. They could only pray desperately in their hearts for a miracle to come.
However, it was too late. The value on the display screen had reached the maximum value that the hull could bear, and the red exclamation mark stung everyone's eyes.
…
On the other side, the Daxia Navy patrolled along the sea surface and found no weather abnormalities. Just as they were about to return home, a beeping sound came from the instrument.
"Colonel, we have received a distress signal."
The source of the signal was not far away from them. In line with humanitarian principles, Fan Haiqing ordered the warship to turn around and move along the signal emission site.
"Go and see which country is in trouble, and rob it if there is any benefit."
Just as they entered the high seas, the originally blue water suddenly turned black and green, and a huge wave hit them head-on, indicating that this sea area was not peaceful.
Fan Haiqing and the others came from the south, where the sea was sunny and the weather was clear, which was completely different from here.
Looking at the gloomy sky in the distance, Wei Yifan was stunned, "The weather is also very different."
"The weather at sea changes rapidly, and no one knows whether it will be cloudy or sunny next second."
While the two were talking, the salty sea breeze brought a few unusual smells. Fan Haiqing frowned, "Why do I feel like I smell gun smoke."
Wei Yifan sniffed the air and said, "It's true."
At the same time, a muffled sound came from the sea ahead.
The two looked at each other, and both noticed something strange. The sudden appearance of a distress signal, the smell of gunpowder smoke, and these huge movements all indicated that this sea area was not peaceful.
"A ship opened fire..."
There are no drills nearby, so it can't be a war, right?
Just when everyone was puzzled, they heard an exclamation, "Chief, there is a situation ahead!"
Through the 'marine telescope', Fan Haiqing could see a ship swaying on the sea in the distance. After seeing the flag on it clearly, he looked stunned.
"It's a ship from Shenzhao Kingdom, but I didn't see the ship that exchanged fire with it."
The situation of the ship looks very bad at this moment, and there is a danger of capsizing at any time.
"What happened to them?"
Due to the angle and distance, Fan Haiqing could not see the inexplicable creatures under the ocean that kept hitting the ship.
"Speed ahead."
Although the relationship between Daxia and Shenzhao Kingdom was average, there had been a lot of friction between the two sides, and they maintained a discordant attitude. But now that they saw it, Fan Haiqing and the others couldn't just sit back and ignore it. After all, they had to take advantage of the situation.
However, as he advanced, Fan Haiqing's pupils suddenly shrank, and he vaguely saw a huge black shadow fleeting through the ship's telescope, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "What is this!"
…
On the other side, Shenzhao Kingdom also immediately detected the arrival of the Daxia warship through radar, and all the soldiers suddenly cried with joy.
"We are saved. There is a Daxia warship approaching us in the distance. It should have received a distress signal."
Yamano Hongichi's face was full of excitement, "Great! May Fuso God bless us."
"Crash-"
However, just as everyone was praying that rescue would come soon, there was a huge splash on the sea, and it seemed that something was surfacing.
The soldiers of Shenzhao Kingdom hurriedly turned their heads to look, but their eyes were suddenly split!
"Oh my God, what kind of monster is this!"
Everyone's eyes widened, and all the blood drained from their faces. Their bodies were shaking like a sieve because of too much fear.
At this moment, I finally know why Yamano Koichi was so out of control before.
The creature in front of me is simply heartbreaking.
The green scales covered the creature like armor, the majestic and huge horns were like towering mountain peaks, the four claws shone with sharp edges, and the beast's pupils emitted a frightening light, like two huge lanterns, extremely strange.
Only the upper half of the body appears in everyone's field of vision, while the other half is under the sea, forming a huge shadow. What is seen now is just the tip of the iceberg.
But even so, you already have to look up, and the pressure it brings makes your legs weak.
As the creature's tail swayed slightly, there was a violent impact on the ship's hull.
Such a hill-like creature was far beyond their expectations.
It turns out that this is the true form of that deep-sea animal!
At this moment, everyone's intestines were green with regret. If they had known that this creature was so huge and ferocious, even if they were killed, they would not come close to this place.
"Is this a giant beast of the deep?"
"No, this...this is a dragon!"
"Oh my God, what kind of existence have we provoked? This is the legendary dragon that can control wind and rain!"
At this moment, Ye Qin looked down at these chattering humans. Against his huge body, the people of Shenzhao Kingdom were as small as ants and could be crushed to death with one claw.
The people of Shenzhao Kingdom offended him first, and now that they have seen his true form, they must not be allowed to go back alive.
"Roar!"
With the roar, Yamano Hiroshi felt his scalp numb, and he regretted provoking such a creature.
He could feel the cold eyes falling on the top of his head, like the door to hell slowly opening, and he suddenly couldn't think of any resistance in his heart.
Yamano Hiroshi's knees became weak and he knelt directly on the ground. His face was full of despair and regret. It was he who personally pushed the entire ship to the brink of death!
"Missile, attack, attack!"
Ye Qin glanced lightly, and the hazy mist emanated from his body, calling out the magic weapon in the Shangqingguan Water Canal.
brush!
The shadow of a giant sword fell from the sky, carrying supreme pressure, floating above Ye Qin's head. It was as high as it, but bigger than it!
And with the appearance of the giant sword, the sea suddenly became turbulent, and a strong wind swept over.
Under this fierce sword energy, even the sea surface set off huge waves, which seemed to pour into the sky. Everything as far as the eye could see was a vast expanse of white! (End of chapter)
