The first thousand two hundred and thirteen chapters follow
"Grab the rope!" Chen Lie and several other young people picked up the thick, oil-soaked huge anchor rope, tied one end to the hard rocks on the shore, and kept the other end in the sea.
The villagers grabbed the anchor rope one after another and passed it to one by one. Soon it was in the hands of Xia Chen at the front. With the anchor rope, he could stand firm in the sea and no longer had to worry about the surprise attacks of strange clams.
"Are you two guys okay?" Xia Chen grabbed the anchor rope, rowed forward dozens of times, fastened the front subway ring on the iron hook of the boat, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's okay, I'm just about to die after being chased by a sea monster. Other than that, there's nothing else..." Cheng Dayan continued to insist, but his little face had already turned purple.
The anchor rope suddenly became taut in the water, and with everyone's concerted efforts, the speed of the boat suddenly accelerated, heading towards the shore quickly.
The octopus sea monster was already approaching, but suddenly it saw the boat speeding up and fleeing, and the water became shallower and shallower. Its huge body could not move forward at all. It could only beat the waves angrily, and then screamed away gradually.
Everyone held the anchor rope in the water and shouted in victory.
Tianma and Cheng Dayan fell on the boat as if they were paralyzed. They didn't care that their bodies were soaked in the sea water. They were frightened and fled for their lives. Their physical strength and strength reached the limit. At this time, they escaped.
Then he relaxed.
Xia Chen climbed onto the boat, and while gushing water, he patted Pegasus' fat belly and said with a smile: "Uncle Ma, you should lose weight this time. If you hadn't eaten so fat and strong, how could you have been killed?"
The sea monster chased me so awkwardly."
"Huh huh huh..." Tianma hummed. "I have already lost weight, otherwise the ship would have sunk long ago. Uncle Ma suffered a big loss this time. He will have to eat some more chicken thighs to make up for it after he goes back."
repair."
Chicken thighs... Xia Chen couldn't help but smile, and a very warm feeling surged in his heart. It seemed that once upon a time, he had traveled around the world with Pegasus and Cheng Dayan, who often said three words...
He was suddenly stunned. What was going on? There were so many irrelevant thoughts in his mind? Could it be that he wasn't awake yet?
At this time, the boat had already reached the shore and slowly docked on the simple pier.
Everyone pulled the soaked Tianma and Cheng Dayan to the shore. Cheng Dayan had no strength at all and lay down and said he wanted to sleep. However, Tianma still stood up and said that the hero had returned triumphant and must be full of energy.
He accepted the applause and welcome from everyone with enthusiasm.
Xia Chen walked to the shore, and his beloved girls jumped around him. Their eyes were full of little stars. They expressed their admiration for Xia Chen's heroic first move to save people and horses.
"Xia Chen, come and see what this is?" Suddenly, Fang Qiu shouted loudly.
Xia Chen followed the sound and walked over, only to see Fang Qiu holding a sharp harpoon with a sea fish several feet long on it.
This sea fish has lumps and lumps all over its body. It is very ugly and scary. It is intimidating to people. Although it was pierced by the steel fork, its vitality is very tenacious. Its head and tail are still swinging vigorously, and it will die in a moment.
Xia Chen's expression changed. He clearly saw that the mouth of the sea fish occupied a third of the head. There were three dense rows of fangs crisscrossed in the mouth. Each tooth was barbed and shimmering with metal.
It has a unique luster, like a neat hacksaw.
Even just seeing it makes me shudder, not to mention that if I were bitten hard by this sharp mouth, I'm afraid it would tear off a large piece of flesh.
Everyone gathered around and gasped. Although the fish was not big, it looked extremely ferocious and had more visual impact than the octopus sea monster.
"Where did you find it?" Xia Chen asked.
The monster clams and octopuses are huge in size. Although they are scary, at least they will not rush to the beach to attack people. However, this strange fish with a sharp mouth is different. It can swim to the beach with its smaller size without knowing it.
Attack without warning.
Just as Fang Qiu was about to answer, suddenly, a sharp hissing sound sounded from the sea.
Everyone was startled and turned to look at the sea. They saw that it was the octopus sea monster the size of a building. It was making a miserable roar, dozens of tentacles waving desperately, slapping the sea surface, causing huge waves.
It seemed to have suffered a terrible attack and was struggling hard, but a large amount of blood surged up from under the sea, spread rapidly, and even flowed along the waves to the beach.
From time to time, a small figure would jump out of the water, jumping several meters high at an extremely fast speed. At the same time, it would open its teeth and bite the giant octopus monster's body fiercely.
With their sharp teeth and sharp mouths, they can often tear off large chunks of flesh and blood that are several times heavier than themselves with just one bite.
Everyone's faces turned pale when they saw it. Although they were far apart, most people had good eyesight and could all see that the small, slender figure was the strange fish with a sharp mouth on Fang Qiu's fork.
Seeing countless strange fish ferociously attacking the octopus and sea monster, everyone was terrified. This little thing was simply more terrifying than imagined.
The octopus sea monster flapped wildly, its powerful tentacles carrying waves, smashing large areas of sharp-mouthed strange fish into pieces. But there were too many strange fish attacking it, and each of them was fearless of death, and its body was too big
, it is impossible to prevent it.
After a while, it was covered in bruises, and most of its flesh and blood had been torn off by the sharp-mouthed monster fish. In many places, pink squirming internal organs could even be seen, and blood almost covered the sea surface with a radius of more than ten miles.
Gradually, the octopus and sea monster's struggle weakened, became slower and slower, and finally became motionless.
The sound of teeth-piercing bites came intensively, and as the strange fish feasted, soon, only a white, empty skeleton was left of the octopus and sea monster, drifting into the distance with the waves, without a trace.
Xia Chen and others stared at this scene in stunned silence, looking at each other and feeling shuddering.
Ever since the first strange clam appeared, the sea seemed to have become unstable. Octopus monsters, sharp-mouthed monster fish... these monsters that should only exist in the deep sea appeared one after another on the shallows.
"I discovered this sharpmouth fish by accident. Fortunately, Uncle Zhan Kongchen gave me a harpoon, otherwise my legs might have been lost..." Fang Qiu said with lingering fear.
Having seen the terrifying bite attack of the sharp-mouthed monster fish, it is impossible not to be afraid.
"I felt there was something strange in the sea, so I took a steel fork. I originally wanted to stab a few strange clams to see, but I didn't expect to find this thing. Fortunately, everyone returned to the shore." A middle-aged villager said.
Xia Chen didn't say anything, and stared blankly at the sea, his heart heavy. Even though accidents happened one after another, although no one was injured, they also brought a sign of disaster to the peaceful and happy fishing village in the past.
No one said anything. After such a fuss, no one had any thoughts.
"Let's go to the ancestral hall on the island and ask the village chief Yuxie to give us clear instructions." Someone said.
Everyone nodded. When encountering a disaster, people are panicked, and Yu Xie is their backbone.
This island is very large, and the village only occupies less than one-tenth of the land, and it is close to the beach. The rest of the island is either on high ground or covered with dense woods and fields. The only ancestral hall in the village is at the highest point of the island.
The ancestral hall is not used to worship the ancestors or gods of the village, but is a place where the children of the village receive education.
However, except for Xia Chen, who learned to read and read under the guidance of Yu Xie, the other boys and girls did not have the patience to learn at all. After listening to this, they fell asleep and ran away to play one after another.
The elders in the village did not reprimand them, because reading and literacy had nothing to do with life. They could neither fish nor farm, and it was a waste of time. What was the use of learning or not learning?
The village head Yuxie was not angry either. If anyone wanted to listen, he would follow the instructions. If no one wanted to listen, he would just read the old thread-bound books in the ancestral hall and enjoy himself.
However, people all respect the leader of Yuxie Village, not only because he has great prestige and knowledge, but also because he has the miraculous ability to pray to heaven and earth and obtain revelation from the gods.
For many years, the village has been living peacefully and happily, which is inseparable from Elder Yuxie's revelation.
Now that the village has encountered a disaster, people naturally think of the village chief Yue Xie. Although Xia Chen is the next successor to the village chief, he is still young and his prestige cannot be compared with that of the old village chief.
Halfway there, Xia Chen suddenly felt uneasy, so he looked back and was surprised.
I don't know when it started, but the sea water actually rose a lot. It began to cover the beach and surged towards the villagers' buildings.
It should be low tide at this time, but why is the sea water rising instead of falling?
In the sea water, Xia Chen vaguely saw countless moving fish heads, which were exactly the same as the sharp-mouthed fish. They had rushed to the shore in dense numbers, with their cold teeth exposed collectively, looking like a forest of swords in the sun.
Xia Chen didn't dare to look any further. A great worry arose in his heart. It was just a sea monster appearing. Now even the sea water was rising. Could it be a sign that the entire island would be flooded?
He didn't tell anyone, he just speeded up.
Swish, swish... Suddenly, a strange sound sounded in the sky, like some burning heavy object passing through the air.
Everyone looked up and screamed involuntarily.
I saw several huge fireballs, like meteors, roaring across the sky and slamming heavily into the island highlands. The unparalleled power made people feel like the coming of a doomsday catastrophe.
"Get down, grab a fixed object and don't move." Xia Chen shouted sharply, grabbed the arms of several girls and threw them to the ground, and tightly hooked their feet on a tree trunk with thick thighs.
Before everyone could react, they threw themselves on the ground, grabbing the trees around them, grabbing the protruding rocks, or grabbing something else.
Bang! Fireballs hit the center of the island one after another, causing the earth to collapse. The huge impact caused the entire island to shake violently. Huge gaps were opening everywhere inside the woods, on the hillsides, and in the farmland.
Countless trees collapsed in an instant, and the overwhelming soil and gravel rolled up like huge waves, blocking the sky in an instant. The trees fell all over the place, and the fire covered most of the island almost instantly.
