The dragon comes out of the sea and the giant sword flies across the sky.
The people of Shenzhao Kingdom were pale, and even their pupils were a little blurry. They were so intimidated by the sword energy that they could not speak. They could only kneel down and kowtow tremblingly.
"no, do not want!"
The most devastating thing in the world is that the hope of life is right in front of you, but you can only watch the opportunity pass by.
Obviously the rescue ship is on the way, but no one can hold on until that time.
Woo!
Ye Qin didn't waste much time. As the dragon's head moved slightly, the giant sword slashed down on the head. The huge air wave instantly blew away the soldiers on the plywood.
They didn't even have time to scream. The power of a sword in the realm of Yuanshen was already comparable to conventional thermal weapons, no less than the attack of a missile.
This kind of power is not something that the human body can compete with. Before the giant sword fell, the warship began to make creaking and disintegrating sounds.
And the moment the giant sword fell, waves and sparks surged up, sweeping across the sub-dimensional sea!
…
In the distance, just as the Daxia Navy was advancing at full speed, they saw a sudden strong wind and huge waves, and the vision became even more blurred.
Just when Fan Haiqing wanted to see more clearly.
"boom!"
The next second, there was a loud noise from the frigate in the distance. In full view of everyone, the entire ship collapsed and fell apart.
The sea water rolled up black waves, mixed with soaring firelight, and a mushroom cloud rose from the sea, blurring everyone's sight.
Fan Haiqing vaguely saw a huge black shadow sweeping past the ship, but the speed was too fast, and he didn't know what kind of creature it was.
Everything happened so suddenly that no one in Daxia had time to react.
"What's going on? Why did the ship suddenly explode?"
Logically speaking, even if there is any malfunction on the warship, there will be a protection system inside, and it is impossible for it to explode so quickly. It is really contrary to common sense.
"Something's wrong. Everyone, be careful."
Fan Haiqing frowned slightly, asking the pilot to be more vigilant. The ship cautiously approached the sea ahead, and the observers also paid attention to the surrounding situation at all times.
By the time they got close to the scene of the incident, the sea had calmed down.
On the green and black sea water, blood rippled, all of which were parts of the ship.
The hull of Shenzhaoguo suddenly disintegrated and split into two, as if it was struck from the middle by something sharp.
It is difficult to imagine what the hull has gone through to suffer such damage.
This sea area has been dyed red with blood. Apart from the ship parts, there are broken human limbs. There is almost no complete human form, and the entire scene is in a mess.
The strong smell of blood was accompanied by the salty sea breeze, and the smell in the air made people almost nauseous.
Judging from the situation, it is estimated that there is no one left alive.
"Report to the colonel, all persons on board were killed."
This result surprised Fan Haiqing. There were no survivors, which meant that they had no way of knowing what happened.
Now we can only look at the black box on the ship to see if there are any new clues.
"Send people to salvage and search and find the black box of this ship."
Several small boats were floating in the sea. As for Fan Haiqing and others, they were preparing to return and report the matter to their superiors. After all, the hull parts and corpses here needed to be cleaned by dedicated personnel.
"Roar!"
Just as they were preparing to return, a powerful neighing sound came from the distance.
Fan Haiqing looked a little surprised, and his eyes fell into the distance, "What is this sound?"
They saw rough waves in the distance, almost touching the sky, as if there were unknown creatures moving among them, stirring up countless storms and clouds, but because they were too far away, they couldn't see clearly.
The huge waves were rolling, but they were getting farther and farther away from them, and soon there was only a thin white line left, disappearing into the boundless sea level.
"The sound of some large cetacean?"
Fan Haiqing shook his head, "It doesn't look like it."
An explosion has just occurred in this sea area. Creatures such as dolphins and whales are very intelligent and will never come here.
What exactly is it?
I passed by accidentally——
Still here from the beginning!
Does the black shadow he saw earlier have something to do with this creature?
Fan Haiqing had many doubts in his mind, but now was not the time to dwell on them. After all, there were more important things to deal with in front of him.
When the ship returned, Fan Haiqing immediately reported the incident to the local commander of the First Fleet.
"What! The frigate of Shen Zhaoguo was attacked by an unknown force and the entire army was annihilated?"
When the commander heard the news, he suddenly showed a bewildered expression. Although the Shenzhao Kingdom did not have a good reputation internationally and had a lot of grudges, there were not many countries that dared to take action openly.
After all, although their land area is small, they are backed by big trees for shade, and have the support and backing of Country M. Therefore, their science and technology is developing rapidly, and their maritime military power cannot be underestimated.
And it is impossible to start a war without a reason. The consequences of this are unimaginable.
"Have you seen clearly which force did it?"
The ships of the Shenzhao Kingdom were destroyed on the high seas. Fortunately, they were not in the waters of Daxia. Otherwise, those people didn't know how many troubles would arise from this.
"When we rushed over to investigate, the ship had been severely damaged and no suspicious persons were seen. I sent people to salvage the black box, hoping to find useful information from it."
The commander nodded, "You did the right thing."
Whether this accident was man-made or whether there was any conspiracy, since Daxia has been involved, we must find out.
Because in addition to Shenzhao Kingdom, the Daxia Navy will also pass by on that route.
"If this accident was not an accident, then you can imagine how terrifying the methods of the country behind the scenes were. They used thunderous means to deal with a warship without even noticing it, without attracting anyone's attention. What country, Can you have this kind of military strength?”
The Daxia Navy and the others were just passing by by chance and were able to bump into it. Otherwise, it would have been a long time before the news of the destruction of the Shenzhao Kingdom's ships would be discovered.
The expression on Fan Haiqing's face also became serious, "The fate of Shenzhao Kingdom is a bloody example. This matter must be investigated clearly!"
This incident also sounded the alarm to the Daxia Navy, because the whole process revealed unusual signs. This time it was Shenzhao Kingdom's unlucky fate and encountered this incident. What if it was Daxia's turn next time.
Whether it was an accident or deliberate targeting, Daxia must prepare for a rainy day.
Since there were no survivors, Daxia could only conduct a basic review based on what Fan Haiqing and others saw at the scene, as well as the damaged ship fragments.
In the office.
Fan Haiqing looked at the information he had investigated, and his eyes were a little sore because he had been looking at it for so long. After coming back from the sea, he didn't close his eyes for almost a day and a night.
"Dong dong dong——"
A sudden knock on the door brought Fan Haiqing back from his thoughts, and he saw Wei Yifan walking in with information.
"Colonel, Shenzhao Kingdom has sent relevant personnel to claim the fragments of the ship and the remains."
Fan Haiqing nodded, "Did they say anything?"
Thinking of this, Wei Yifan couldn't help but have a bit of anger on his face, "Those people in Shenzhao Kingdom are all of the same character. In their words, they still feel that our Daxia has done something secretly."
After speaking, he sneered and said: "If it weren't for our arrival, these people wouldn't even have anyone to collect the corpses. They would all go to feed the sea fish."
The black box in the hull has been found, but unfortunately, it was too badly damaged and the contents could not be saved.
Neither Daxia nor Shenzhao Kingdom knew what exactly happened.
Although Shenzhao Kingdom had doubts about Daxia, the navigation recorder of Daxia Navy recorded everything.
From the video, it can be seen that when Fan Haiqing and others arrived, the condition of the ship was already bad, and then it fell apart. There was no possibility of Daxia taking action.
It was impossible for Daxia to predict ahead of time. He had no idea in advance that the Shenzhao Kingdom warship was going to take this route, and he only rushed there after receiving a distress signal. There was no chance to make a move.
Faced with the irrefutable facts, it was hard for the people of Shenzhao Kingdom to say anything.
"Don't worry about Shenzhao Kingdom. How about the matter you were asked to investigate?"
"There are no traces of shell attack on the hull, but there are traces of being hit by unknown creatures, and the cut surface is very sharp and neat, as if it was cut by something like a sharp blade."
Fan Haiqing showed an incredible expression.
"Being cut open by a sharp blade? What kind of sharp blade can be so powerful that it can split an entire warship into two? Does the earth have such a technological weapon?"
Fan Haiqing thought of the huge black shadow he saw through the telescope and the strange noise he heard before leaving, "It can't really be the work of a deep-sea monster, right?"
Their previous guess was that the warships of Shenzhao Kingdom might have been attacked by an enemy country, and a small-scale naval battle took place on the sea.
However, there are no traces of thermal weapons on the hull, so this theory is not valid.
Wei Yifan seemed to have thought of something and quickly added: "The navigation recorder also detected the shadow you mentioned, Colonel, but because the picture was too blurry, nothing could be seen clearly."
Fan Haiqing immediately invited the relevant technicians over, kept zooming in and slowing down the screen, and finally captured the movement of the shadow. However, because the distance was too far, the screen was somewhat distorted no matter how much adjustments were made, making it difficult to identify what kind of creature it was.
"Can the picture be clearer? It's too blurry."
The technician worked for a while, and as time went by, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Finally, he shook his head and said, "Sorry, Colonel, this is the clearest picture."
Fan Haiqing glanced at the blurry screen and couldn't help but sigh. He tried to confirm the identity of this creature through the voyage recorder but failed.
Although this creature was near the Shenzhao Kingdom ship at that time, it did not mean that it was the culprit that caused the ship's destruction.
Although the warships of the Shenzhao Kingdom are small in size, they still cannot be underestimated. After all, they are the crystallization of human military technology. Whether it is the materials used or the thermal weapons they are paired with, they are obviously not something carbon-based organisms can resist.
And what else can make such a warship fall apart, even leaving no one alive on board, besides thermal weapons?
If there is really some kind of monster that can be controlled, how huge will its body be?
"By the way, we also encountered something very interesting while we were investigating."
Hearing Wei Yifan's words, Fan Haiqing raised his eyebrows and motioned for him to continue.
"When the waterspout arrived, there was a huge wave along the coast. The situation was very dangerous at that time, but later the waterspout and the wave disappeared. People along the coast said they heard strange animal roars, and there was rain later. It’s raining fish.”
This incident has spread in the local area, and the older generation of fishermen say that the Dragon King is blessing them.
Many people have witnessed such a strange scene and heard the cry of the creature. According to Wei Yifan's investigation, the sea area there is very close to the high seas and not far from the place where the Shenzhao Kingdom ship was involved.
Combined with the black shadow Fan Haiqing saw and the strange cries heard by the people along the coast, the shadow of a deep sea beast gradually took on a rough outline.
"Perhaps it was really a giant beast from the deep that destroyed the ships of Shenzhao Kingdom?"
Is it the giant squid? Or maybe a deep-sea giant octopus? Or an unknown underwater creature?
What kind of creature can have such a method? This is enough to subvert human cognition!
Fan Haiqing and Wei Yifan had no way of knowing all this. The crew members of Shenzhao Kingdom might have seen the true face of this creature, but unfortunately none of them could survive.
"There was another strange thing at that time. Before the waterspout came, a ship lost contact. When the search and rescue team came to rescue, although all the people on the ship were unconscious, they were all safe. According to the crew, they were also safe before they fell unconscious. I saw an inexplicable black shadow.”
Speaking of this matter, Wei Yifan himself felt a little unbelievable. He originally thought that someone was exaggerating the rumors, but everyone on the ship said so.
A flash of astonishment flashed across Fan Haiqing's eyes, "Is there such a thing?"
Wei Yifan nodded, "Yes, both ships encountered inexplicable black shadows, and the treatment was very different. One was intact, and the other was completely wiped out."
After saying that, there was some gloating in his eyes, "It seems that even the giant beasts of the deep sea can't stand the outrageous things that Shenzhao Kingdom has done, and they want to do justice for heaven."
"Old fishermen in the coastal areas all say that the Dragon King appears. Could it really be a dragon?"
Wei Yifan said casually, but everyone couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
What else can sink a warship besides a dragon?
Because it’s really hard to imagine that there is any monster in reality that is so powerful. It can’t be Godzilla, right?
But after all, dragons are legendary creatures that no one has ever actually seen.
Just based on the vague shadows and weird cries, I couldn't tell what it was.
Rumors about the behemoths of the deep are rampant.
Not only Daxia, but also Shenzhao Country, M Country, and other countries sent scientific research ships to conduct research and exploration, hoping to capture the shadow of the deep sea beast, but everyone found nothing.
The strange thing is that for such an incident, there were no subsequent attacks on ships. It seemed to be just an accident.
The deep sea monster is just everyone's guess. Since there is no clear evidence, everyone will no longer continue the investigation, but they will always pay attention.
The Shenzhao Kingdom was naturally furious after losing a warship.
Although the scale of the warship is not large, the construction materials and the equipment on the hull were all purchased from the West at a high price, and a lot of effort was spent.
Now, not long after serving, something like this happened, but it happened to be on the high seas, and they had no way to hold them accountable.
"Conspiracy, there must be a conspiracy in this! How could it be such a coincidence that the Daxia Navy was nearby when the incident happened!"
The naval superiors of Shenzhao Kingdom were furious.
"General Ito, do you mean that Daxia has done something secretly?"
Ito Hirobumi nodded, "Daxia has been at odds with us for a long time. It is possible that he can secretly give us some advice."
The people under his command looked embarrassed, "We thought so before, but there are clear navigation recorders in Daxia, so there is no possibility for them to take action."
Ito Hirobumi was very angry. Although he wanted to pour this dirty water on Daxia, he had no evidence. He did not believe what Daxia's navy said. He even started a conspiracy theory and sent people to investigate.
"I asked you to investigate the cause of the accident. Have you found out?"
The people under his command shook their heads cautiously. The results of their investigation were similar to those of Daxia, and they did not find anything useful.
"The ship was hit by an unknown creature, and all people on board were killed. It doesn't look like it was man-made. According to the results of the investigation, it is likely to be some kind of creature in the ocean."
When he said the last sentence, his voice became smaller and smaller.
Ito Hirobumi was furious, "Trash! I asked you to investigate, but after so many days, these things were discovered."
No matter how furious Shenzhaoguo was, he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, thinking that he was unlucky.
Since there was no definite evidence, the matter could only be left alone, but they did not give up. They jointly dispatched a scientific research ship with a certain Western country and planned to conduct experimental exploration in this sea area in the near future.
The news was not concealed, and soon spread to Daxia, attracting a lot of applause from netizens.
"The warship of Shenzhao Kingdom was attacked by unknown creatures on the high seas, so I usually do more good deeds for myself and less bad deeds."
"Hearing this news, I was so happy that I ate two more bowls of rice today. I heard that it was a deep-sea monster that did it. Good guy, what kind of monster doesn't even pay attention to a warship?"
"What a profound giant beast? That is our Dragon King punishing the evildoers!"
"What did the Dragon King say? Why is he related to the Dragon King?"
"I am a local from Penglai. I suggest you search for the related words waterspouts and waves in the Penglai coastal area."
Netizens from other places searched curiously, and soon relevant information emerged. Only then did they learn about a series of recent events in Penglai.
More and more people are paying attention to it, and soon related words such as #水spout#, #天天下鱼了#, #miraculous return of the whales fall on the hot searches! (End of chapter)
