The fight just now took a lot of energy from me, so I could only whip King Wu on the deck to support my body.
Looking around, he could see countless broken tentacles of sea monsters floating on the sea with the cruise ship as the center, covering a radius of several square kilometers. The overflowing black juice turned the entire sea into pitch black.
Among these tentacles, some human stumps can also be vaguely seen, rising and falling with the waves.
Although we have tried our best to protect the safety of most people, after all, our strength is limited. For a luxury cruise ship with thousands of passengers, the strength of a few of us is nothing more than a drop in the bucket.
Many passengers who did not have time to escape were swept into the water and swallowed by the sea monster. A rough estimate was that there were at least dozens of people.
On the deck at this moment, there were countless tourists huddled in various corners, trembling.
Many people were lucky to have escaped death from the sea monster, but they had not yet reacted to the panic.
"Everyone, if you want to survive, go back to your rooms!"
After a few seconds of calming down, I shouted loudly at the passengers.
"Mu Sheng, you are responsible for maintaining order, let everyone go back!"
I said to Zhang Musheng who was not far away.
Although the sea monster was severely injured, there were no fatal injuries on its body. I was sure that it would never give up.
Although we have dived into the sea now, you might come out at some point and give us a fatal blow!
The scene where we fought against the sea monster just now was seen by all the passengers present. They already admired me so much that they naturally did not dare to disobey my orders.
Under the command of Zhang Musheng and Du Xinyue, all the passengers got up obediently and returned to their guest rooms.
"Aze, Mr. Cheng, are you okay?"
In a guest room on the top floor, Jingjing poked her head out and asked me with concern.
"fine,"
I waved my hand to Jingjing: "Jingjing, protect the three children and don't come out for the time being."
Jing Jing nodded, then retreated into the room and closed the window tightly.
"Everyone, let's go to the cockpit to check the situation."
I simply said something to the companions behind me and walked towards the bow of the ship.
In the cab, Zhao Dafu was standing in front of the large screen in the command area, his eyes bloodshot, and his right hand kept pressing various buttons to control the cruise ship.
In his left hand, he held a tool ax with a broken tentacle hanging on it.
Apparently, while he was busy sailing the boat just now, he cut off a sneak attack tentacle.
"Mr. Cheng!"
Seeing us walking in, Zhao Dafu quickly threw the ax to the ground and said respectfully.
After seeing this scene, my previous bad opinion of Zhao Dafu changed a lot, so I stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.
"Captain Zhao, you are very brave."
Zhao Dafu chuckled: "What are you talking about, Mr. Cheng? After all, I am the captain of a ship and am responsible for thousands of lives. I cannot be frightened by a mere sea monster."
I nodded and asked immediately, "How is the situation now?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Cheng, I have been accelerating just now. Now the cruise ship has left the danger zone, and there is no way the sea monster can catch up."
Hearing what Zhao Dafu said, my tense heart relaxed a little. Just when I was about to say something, there was a thud under my feet, as if something heavy had hit the boat.
Then I felt that the cruise ship seemed to start to tilt to the left.
Lonnie and others also staggered around, and everyone quickly grabbed the wall next to them to prevent them from falling.
Crunch—
The cruise ship is still tilting to the left and is about to capsize!
Zhao Dafu quickly swung the rudder to the right and tried his best to fight against the tilting force.
"Mr. Cheng, what's going on?"
Zhao Dafu asked me anxiously while controlling the cruise ship.
"That sea monster should be under the cruise ship!"
After pondering for a few seconds, I soon knew what was going on.
At first, the sea monster wanted to climb directly onto the deck and devour everyone on the ship, but we broke dozens of tentacles and failed.
After the sea monster realized that this would not work, he changed his method and lurked under the cruise ship, trying to overturn the cruise ship through brute force!
The sea is its world, and even if we all go into the water, we won't have the slightest advantage.
I have to say that this sea monster is indeed very cunning, and is much smarter than those ghosts in the underworld!
"Brother Cheng, why don't we go into the water and kill it? Otherwise, if this continues, the entire cruise ship may capsize!"
When Bai Ze heard this, he directly suggested.
"No,"
I shook my head: "We have no chance of winning underwater. What's more, if our entire army is destroyed, how can we find the Immortal King and the overseas Immortal Islands?"
After pondering for a few seconds, I quickly made a decision.
"Captain Zhao, how many lifeboats are there on the cruise ship?"
Zhao Dafu replied truthfully: "Mr. Hui Cheng, in addition to the one that Jin Shaoru and Sister Meng took away, there are twelve more, each of which can accommodate thirty people!"
"In addition, there are lifebuoys and liferafts, enough for five to six hundred people!"
"good,"
I nodded and then looked at Lonnie and the others.
"In this way, I will go to the sea by myself, and you will wait on the boat. If I haven't appeared in ten minutes, then there is no need to wait."
"When the time comes, you will assist Captain Zhao and let the young, old, women and children board the lifeboat, and the remaining people will distribute the lifebuoys and liferafts."
"As for the task of finding the Immortal King and overseas Immortal Islands, I have to leave it to you."
Lonnie asked in surprise: "Xiao Chengzi, what do you want?"
"If we go into the water together, we may not be the opponent of the sea monster. How can you go down by yourself?"
Bai Ze and Liao Xianer also shook their heads, not wanting me to take risks alone.
"Everyone, listen to me."
I stretched out my hand and said, "The sea monster has most likely entangled the cruise ship. If it is allowed to shake like this, the entire cruise ship will capsize before long. We must find a way to solve it."
"I still have more experience in the water, so just let me have a try. Don't worry, I will definitely be careful."
Lonnie knew she couldn't persuade me, so she didn't persist, but just squeezed my hand tightly.
"Xiao Chengzi, promise me that you will come back safely!"
"Um!"
I smiled and nodded, then without hesitation, walked out of the cab, came to the deck, and climbed onto the guardrail.
Looking at the endless black water below, I closed my eyes and jumped—
Plop!
The cold and biting seawater submerged me in an instant. I only felt that my whole body was sinking rapidly, and a fishy smell penetrated my nose.
I held my breath and continued to dive. When I felt that I was about the same position, I slowly opened my eyes.
Glancing around, I found that I had dived to a depth of more than ten meters. The submerged part of the cruise ship was just a few dozen meters directly in front of me.
