Chapter 128 Giant Beast in the Sea
Travelers always have to be careful when walking outside. The ability to listen to the wind and observe the clouds is Maplehara Manyo's trump card.
Wind can bring a lot of information.
For example, Himura Kenshin's suppressed sword intent, or the smell of alcohol on Sister Beidou's head... and the special aroma that seemed to come from Lord Ningguang.
Maplehara Manyo is best at using this information to determine whether there are enemy ships or traces of sea monsters in the distance.
There is a faint fishy smell in the sea breeze. This smell is not fishy, but rather slimy, like a big octopus on the bottom of the sea.
But if it was just an octopus, that would be fine.
Because with the strength of the Southern Cross fleet, it can definitely turn the big octopus into octopus balls on the dinner table at night.
But the problem is...the smell in the wind is too dangerous.
It even made Maplehara Manyo couldn't help but her hands trembled.
The last time I had this feeling was when I was performing martial arts at Inazuma Castle.
Is it possible...
"Manyo! What's going on?"
Beidou had climbed up the rope to the observation tower. She frowned and asked solemnly.
When Xu Liushi came to her just now and told her to change the route, she thought he was joking.
But after the other party revealed that it was Maplehara Manyo's notification, she couldn't remain calm.
So far, this young man has made a total of seventeen predictions, and almost every time he predicted the coming storm perfectly, helping the fleet recover countless losses.
Since he said this, it means that he has definitely discovered something.
"There is something dangerous on our route."
Manyo pointed directly in front of the fleet and said with great certainty.
"Must we change the route? If we take a detour, it may disrupt the original plan. In this case... even if we prepare sufficient resources, we may be exhausted before reaching Inazuma."
Beidou said in a low voice.
She was not joking, the new channel could not be completed by turning the rudder.
Navigators also need to carefully arrange and arrange to avoid the locations of some reefs and the territories of certain sea beasts.
The amount of this project is not ordinary.
"The wind will tell me a lot of things, but this time... the wind is also trembling because of that guy. Apart from the danger, I can't even spell out much useful information."
After closing her eyes and feeling it again, Maplehara Manyo said with certainty.
Beidou also feels this very clearly.
The usual sea breeze, whether it is strong or gentle, basically blows in one direction.
But this time... the chaos was somewhat complete.
"Change course! Get ready for battle!"
After noticing the abnormality, Beidou was more strict than Manyo imagined. She not only asked the navigators to start planning a new route, but also prepared the combatants for battle.
Because she has realized that the danger Beidou mentioned should not refer to natural disasters, but... some kind of living creature.
Beidou will definitely not be afraid of sea monsters or other things.
Because she once killed the so-called sea beast.
Almost everyone in Liyue knows the reputation of Tou Beidou, the eldest sister of the Southern Cross Fleet, and they love to talk about her after dinner.
Even the storyteller at Naheyu Teahouse, in addition to telling the deeds of immortals and demons, would occasionally tell stories about the captain.
There is a popular phrase in Liyue and Dao Wife: "The fins turn into the underworld, and the tail touches the distant mountains."
The fishermen learned this phrase from the shore and sang it over and over again. The song spread further and further and became a popular fishing song.
As for this fishing song, Beidou used to sing it with her crew members, but from a certain period of time, she never sang it again.
Because in the song, the "big fish" whose fins turned into the underworld and whose tail pointed at the distant mountains, named Haishan, died in her hands.
Seamounts are in the sea.
It looks like both a fish and a dragon, as big as a nightmare, and as powerful as a god. A single blow can set off huge waves tens of meters high.
People who fight for their lives on the sea will always encounter seamounts.
Beidou has wanted to see it since she was nine years old, hoping to cut off its head. She has challenged Haishan many times, but all ended in failure.
Until that time, she finally sang this song that she had been listening to since she was a baby. She carried the best sword on her back, took the sailor with the best water skills, and headed straight for the big fish named [Sea Mountain].
go.
Fighting at close quarters, a thunderous battle.
The battle lasted four full days.
In the storyteller's story, she steps on huge waves and has the blue sky above her head.
He fought with the sea and mountains like an immortal for more than four days.
In fact, only their people understand how difficult it is for them to defeat Haishan.
The Southern Cross fleet only brought elite personnel and used cannons, fishing guns, bows, arrows and ropes to barely contain the seamount.
Beidou fought with the four-legged captured Haishan for several hours, and until dark, he could not decide the winner.
Fortunately, Haishan is only stronger at night, leaving them enough breathing space during the day.
In the early morning of the fifth day, the first ray of light from the rising sun shone on the face of Haishan.
Beidou took action.
This blow cut through the clouds and the moon, like mountains and seas, and completely cut off the head of the fish and dragon!
And at that time, a purple thunder descended from the sky, and Beidou's Eye of God fell in front of Beidou who was fighting bloody battles in this very special way.
This purple thunder is the best gift given by the gods to those who conquer the mountains and seas.
Because of this incident, Beidou also has a very nice nickname.
Dragon King.
However, compared to this nickname, people in the Southern Cross Fleet still prefer to call her Sister Tou.
There was something dangerous right ahead of the route, and soon word spread throughout the Southern Cross fleet.
But except for the merchants on the ship, no one was afraid of this so-called danger.
No matter how dangerous something is, can it be more dangerous than seamounts?
But as time goes by, the so-called danger gradually appears in front of everyone.
Dark clouds enveloped the entire sea area, and from time to time bursts of thunder came from the dark clouds. The rumbling sound was not so much thunder as the roar of some giant beast.
The entire sky seemed to be split by something, half black and half blue.
The horrific scenes even made some timid guys wet their pants.
"What the hell is this?"
Standing on the dragon's head directly in front of the Death Star, Beidou felt his scalp numb.
In the pitch-black clouds, you can occasionally see the body of some kind of creature exposed accidentally, but only a small part of it is exposed, and you can also see how big its body is.
Even the seamounts they tried their best to kill were no match for this giant beast.
This kind of thing has completely escaped the category of the word "beast", and can even be described by another word.
Demon!
The black cloud was also aware of the existence of the Southern Cross fleet, and was sweeping towards this direction with bursts of roaring sounds.
But Beidou can only do one thing.
