Watching the water turn red, Xiao Mu took the remaining half of the fish off the hook and threw it back into the sea.
The fish carcass turned white belly on the sea surface, and was soon dragged under the water by several gray shadows jumping up from the deep water.
The dorsal fins of the sharks began to gather in the red sea, drawing circles around the bloody water like upside-down daggers.
"Will they always follow the boat?" Xu Xiaoyan lay on the railing and stared at the dorsal fins.
"No." Xiao Mu put away the fishing rod, "Sharks chase the smell of blood, not propellers. When the smell of blood in this sea area is washed away by the ocean currents, they will disperse on their own."
Sure enough, the giant ship cut through the waves, and the low-frequency roar of the engine was steady and dull. The foam strip at the stern of the ship stretched longer and longer, and those dorsal fins gradually became smaller at the rear, first turning into a few tiny black spots on the sea, and then being completely swallowed up by the surging white waves.
The color of the sea water quickly returned from the light red to dark blue. Xu Xiaoyan breathed a sigh of relief, bent down to pick up Star Luo Gazetteer that fell on the ground, and patted the dust on the cover.
Xiao Mu put the fishing rod against the deck chair and put on his sunglasses again. The sun was still shining brightly.
After a long time, the group of sharks at the stern of the boat not only did not disperse, but instead gathered more and more.
Xu Xiaoyan was the first to notice something strange. She put down her book and pointed toward the stern of the boat, her voice tight. "Xiao Mu, look, there's another group of sharks coming."
On the sea surface, dozens of gray-white dorsal fins are gathering from all directions, moving closer to the giant ship's track like iron filings attracted by a magnet.
The number of Demon Soul Great White Shark doubled and doubled again in just a few minutes. They were no longer chasing the half of the fish carcass dropped by Xiao Mu, but running for their lives.
"Evil Spirit Orca." Mu Ye's voice came from behind. He looked at the approaching black dorsal fin array on the sea, and his tone rarely became serious. "Demon Soul Great White Shark's enemies. But it stands to reason that they will not approach the route of human ships unless the shark swarm gathers to a certain extent."
Before he finished speaking, the first wave of attacks began. A Evil Spirit Orca suddenly rushed up from the water, and its huge head hit the abdomen of an adult Demon Soul Great White Shark, pushing it completely out of the water.
The shark twisted wildly in mid-air, and before it could fall back into the sea, the second killer whale had already jumped out of the water. Its open mouth was filled with sharp teeth that curved inward, and it bit the shark's gills. Blood and minced meat exploded on the sea surface, dyeing a large area of water red.
More killer whales joined the hunt. They surrounded the lone shark in small groups, beating it with their tails, hitting it with their heads, and biting them with their teeth.
The sharks fought back desperately, but the formation had been washed away, and the sea was filled with roiling white waves and dark red blood. Huge shock waves hit the hull of the giant ship one after another, and the 10,000-ton giant ship began to shake slightly.
There were more and more people on the deck. Star Luo Empire students and members of the Federation delegation ran out of the cabin one after another, lying on the railing of the ship and watching the hunt at sea that happened before their eyes. Some people screamed, some cursed, and some took out crystal balls for recording and started taking pictures.
Luo Qinghan walked next to Xiao Mu and looked at the melee on the sea with a livid face. "This is the first time I have seen a Soul Beast riot of this scale. I don't know if it will affect the ship."
Xiao Mu said nothing. He stared at the tracks of the black dorsal fins swimming on the sea, getting closer and closer to the cruise ship. Soul Beast didn't have too many thoughts.
I just want to kill the opponent.
The fight soon affected the normal navigation of the giant ship. Xu Xiaoyan grabbed Xiao Mu's arm to prevent him from falling. The teacup on the table slipped out and was held down by Gu Yue with one hand.
"Attention all passengers, please return to your cabin immediately and do not stay on the deck. Repeat, return to your cabin immediately." The captain's voice came from the radio, his tone was relatively calm, as if he had experienced many strong winds and waves.
The deck was in chaos. The crew ran to the side of the ship carrying the sonic wave Soul Tool used to drive sharks away. The low-frequency pulses exploded into circles of white ripples under the water, trying to drive the melee of sharks and killer whales away from the route.
Mu Ye patted Xiao Mu on the shoulder. "Don't just stand there stupidly on the deck, come with me."
Xiao Mu held Xu Xiaoyan with one hand and protected Na'er with the other. Gu Yue followed behind them. Several people followed Mu Ye through the shaky corridor, twisting and turning, and pushed open an inconspicuous iron door.
The kitchen was brightly lit, the air was filled with the aroma of butter and garlic, a pot of seafood soup was simmering on the stove, and half of the unroasted leg of lamb was turning in the oven.
Mu Ye walked to the stove, opened the lid of the pot, smelled it, scooped himself a bowl of soup, pulled up the chair, sat down, and started to cut the bluefin tuna.
"Sit down and eat." Mu Ye stuffed a piece of fish into his mouth and said vaguely, "The crew outside have more experience in chasing sharks than I do, so there's no need to worry."
Xiao Mu pulled up a chair and sat down. Xu Xiaoyan was next to him, and Na'er had already picked up the chopsticks.
The fish fillets melt in your mouth and are so sweet that you almost forget that a bloody massacre is taking place on the sea a few hundred yards away.
The giant wheel shook again with a muffled sound. Mu Ye held the plate firmly without stopping with his chopsticks.
Gu Yue picked up a bowl of soup and was about to drink it--
Two terrifying pressures rolled over from the direction of the deep sea at the same time.
That was not the smell of an ordinary Soul Beast. The pressure penetrated the hull and partitions, like two peaks rising from the bottom of the sea at the same time, pressing on everyone's chest. The light in the kitchen flashed twice, and the pot lid on the stove buzzed and trembled without being touched.
Mu Ye's chopsticks stopped in mid-air. He put them down, and his expression changed from casual to solemn in a few seconds.
"Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"
The sea surface was split by two huge figures.
What surfaced on the left side was a Demon Soul Great White Shark King that was over thirty meters tall. It was all silver-white, its dorsal fin was like a giant sail piercing the waves, and the old scars crisscrossing its body glowed coldly in the moonlight.
What emerged on the right side was Evil Spirit Tiger Shark King, which was equally huge in size, with black dorsal fins as tall as rocks, skin covered with scars, and a pair of faint green eyes like two will-o'-the-wisps in the middle of the night.
Two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts surfaced at the same time. The pause button was pressed on the originally melee of sharks and killer whales. All Sea Soul Beasts stopped biting at the same time and shrank away under the pressure of their respective kings.
Demon Soul Great White Shark King turned his head slowly, his cold eyes scanning the corpses of his kind floating on the sea, and then scanning several baby sharks injured by the sound wave Soul Tool.
Evil Spirit Tiger Shark King is also doing the same thing, but the two beasts are already accustomed to their own tribesmen fighting each other.
Then the eyes of both Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts were locked on the giant ship at the same time. To be precise, it was the humans driving them on the deck.
We Sea Soul Beast are fighting, when will it be humans' turn to intervene?
To the outside world, be consistent with the outside world.
