Chapter 352 There are water monsters in the sea

After waiting for half an hour, Zhao Yitong came back, shook his head and told us, "I haven't found it here. What about you, Kaizi, have you found a clue? The sea water around seems to be hiding monsters, and they are all very dangerous. I just saw a few sharks swimming desperately into the depths, not chasing any prey at all."

I nodded slightly and responded, "Yes, this sea is indeed very dangerous. I just saw that there were quite a few waves around the humanoid island. Maybe some giant monsters were hidden in the sea, which led to the formation of large waves. Now when we go to the humanoid island, we must be careful and not be careless."

Zhao Yitong and Sun Jiulong nodded, so Sun Jiulong drove towards me in the boat. I hope to reach the Humanoid Island safely along the way. I was mainly worried that I didn’t know how to persuade the Orc Warriors. If I remember correctly, the orc warriors in the tomb of the Human King only subdue people who are stronger than them. In other words, they will challenge them at that time, and I may have to fight one of them alone.

No matter what, even if we fight hard, we have to form an alliance with them. After all, this opportunity is the only way to go back to the Ghost and God Sect and the Demon Clan. Without their help, I think it would be difficult to defeat them. The strength of the enemy and me is too different. We can defeat the Ghost and God Sect by just a few families and the Human King. Even if we defeat the Ghost and God Sect, there is also a powerful demon clan, so our strength is still very thin.

Seeing that we were about to reach the near humanoid island, but the water in the sea was surging. Could it be that something was born in the water? So the three of us abandoned the ship and flew into the air and flew towards humanoid island. But a few red tentacles appeared flying out of the sea and attacked us. Of course, we had already appeared and cut off the tentacles.

Now that the tentacles are densely packed with suction cups, we naturally know that this must be a giant squid. Could it be that this squid is to protect the island? I was puzzled, but the three of us formed a circle in the air, looking vigilantly at the bottom of the water and the sky around us. After all, we don’t know what dangers are waiting for us.

But I found a monster corpse by the sea, a sea creature with a length of about 4 meters and a horn on its head made us confused and scratched our heads. This creature was weird in shape and had never appeared before, so people were full of speculation about it. Because the corpse was rotten, we didn't know what monster it was at all.

This undersea creature is about 4 meters long, with a long horn on its head, a slender body, a smooth surface, and a snow-white whole body, looking like a monster in a mythology. This monster was seen by me on a humanoid island. At that time, the monster was dead and the body kept emitting foul stench.

Regarding the speculation of this monster, Zhao Yitong called it a part of the shark, and some people thought it was a hairtail. Sun Jiulong talked about his confusion about the monster: "Its horns are so strange. We don't know that there are creatures with long horns in the sea."

Later, Sun Jiulong told us a story, saying that it was from the nearby fishermen. Unexpectedly, he had been here for a trip before. He was really a ubiquitous detective, but he was also a very powerful figure.

"Legends have been a long time ago, Yanjing City was once a city full of people and many businesses.

But one day, a terrible disaster suddenly occurred, which turned it into a vast ocean in an instant. To this day, the tragic, tragic and thrilling scene is still stuck in the mouth and ears of people... In March, on a sunny day, Guanyin Bodhisattva came to this beautiful and prosperous city.

Looking at these beautiful mountains and rivers and simple sentient beings, she was in a very heavy mood because she knew that God was about to bring a devastating disaster here! But the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed, so all she could do was take risks to imply people in a very tactful way, hoping that people could quickly understand and escape disasters.

So, Guanyin Bodhisattva became a village girl selling peaches, and in the name of selling early peaches for March, implying that people escape from danger as soon as possible. Early peaches mean to escape as soon as possible. However, people just happily tasted the delicious early peaches, but could not understand the Bodhisattva's desire to save the trouble. Helplessly, Guanyin Bodhisattva had to find another way. While walking, she thought, and came to the front of the school gate. She looked up and saw a pair of stone lions, so she had another idea.

She turned into a fortune teller, called a teacher who passed by, and solemnly told him in the name of looking at the face that if the stone lion in front of the door turned red, then move and run away quickly, otherwise it would be a big mistake. Remember! The teacher didn't understand and was about to ask what was going on, but the fortune teller disappeared in the blink of an eye.

After all, the teacher has a lot of knowledge. He is confident that he has met gods and immortals, so he firmly believes in the gods' advice. So he told the students this secret and constantly told everyone around him.

There were two naughty students who had gone to see the stone lion's eyes every day since they heard what the teacher said, but the day passed and it was still the same. Driven by strong curiosity, they stole the red mercury used by the teacher to correct homework, and dyed the stone lion's eyes red.

This time, I really caused a big disaster. Sure enough, in an instant, the sky was filled with clouds, lightning flashed, and heavy rain was like a note. After hearing the news, the teacher felt that something was wrong, so he quickly called the city in the rain, asking people to move and run away quickly.

However, many people don’t take it seriously at all, and even laugh at the teacher for seeing a ghost in the daytime!

The two naughty students thought it was fun and told the teacher with a smile that it was dyed red, and it was not hindered. Only a very small number of people followed the teacher's advice and fled to the middle of the mountain to hide.

Soon, the mountain torrent was stormed. It was like the sky turned upside down. In the blink of an eye, the whole city was flooded with an ocean... I felt sorry for those who did not listen to the teacher's advice. Before they could figure out what was going on, they were buried in the ocean. A very few people who followed the advice were lucky enough to escape the disaster.

After hearing the news, Guanyin Bodhisattva was very sad. When she arrived here, she looked down from mid-air and saw that the flood was still raging wildly, with white waves surging.

So, the Bodhisattva reached out and dipped the willow branches out of the clean bottle, sprinkled them into the lake, blew the fairy air, and said "change". He saw a huge golden cabbage with golden light falling from the sky, "Puzzle!" As soon as the people in the lake were shining, the wind stopped and the waves stopped, and the level was like a mirror."

In other words, this legend may be true, and there are smart animals at the bottom of the sea. It’s just that they have been hiding under the water and have not been exposed. Besides, they live on the bottom of the sea, and we live on the earth, and they don’t know at all. What if we borrow their power? Maybe they can’t reach the sixth place. Even if they can communicate with them, why would they come to help us? So it’s still unreliable to find smart creatures at the bottom of the sea.

Now the wind and waves seem to have calmed down. I don’t know if the squid was scared by us, so he no longer dared to attack us, or he continued to hide and attack us. So we did not relax our vigilance and continued to observe the surroundings to prevent another attack. Although our strength has become stronger, there may not be people stronger than us. It is even more impossible for us to go into the water. Our strength to fight in the water will definitely be greatly reduced.

But after waiting for a few minutes, the sea was completely calm, just a slight wind and wave. I said to the two of them, "Why don't we fly to the island first, I think this underwater monster will not come up for the time being."

Since the distant era, strange species living in the deep sea have had a deterrent force on humans that are difficult to control. They are often considered huge, mysterious and cruel, and will cause waves when people unexpectedly encounter ships, causing shipwrecks to swallow ships. In the creation myths born by many human civilizations, sea monsters can always be seen, symbolizing some irresistible natural force.

The Old Testament mentioned a giant terrifying sea monster called Leviathan, which was God's creation on the sixth day of creation. Its mouth was squirting flames, smoke came out of its nose, had sharp teeth, and its body seemed to be as strong as armor. It was violent and killing, floating in the ocean to find prey, causing the surrounding creatures to change their qualities, and the waves also reversed the current. It is said that the prototype of Leviathan was a crocodile.

Because of its unrivaled power, British philosopher Thomas Hobbes named his political monograph with "Leviathan". He pointed out that the state is not just a regime, but also an organic living body constructed and operated by various people. It has the characteristics of a demigod and half-beast, protecting and devouring individuals. Hobbes' metaphor method revealed in one word is destined to compare Leviathan with the power machine, and it is even more powerful and captivating. It is no longer a black and white illustration hiding in the pile of old papers.

The mysterious power of the sea is not only reflected in killing, but sometimes it can be cured. The well-known sea monster story in the Bible also includes: The prophet Jonah was swallowed by a giant whale because he was unwilling to obey God's instructions. He pondered in the fish's belly for three days and three nights, and decided to express his surrender to God, and finally returned to the ground without any harm.

This plot is quite whimsical, but it may be the most unique place of confession among the isolated whale belly, right? George Orwell once said that countless people were jealous of Jonah because that strange place was warm and quiet, and I forgot about everything, just like my mother. So Jonah's experience also had the meaning of rebirth.
