The World of Pirates

Chapter 139 Hundred-Eyed Sea Snake?

A sailor walked slowly on the deck of the "Queen" holding an oil lamp with a glass windshield.

Wooden sailing ships are most afraid of fire, especially a big ship like the "Queen", so night watch is essential.

Tonight's sea breeze was very bitter, blowing through his clothes "swish", and the sailor couldn't help shrinking.

The weather on the Great Route can be described as ever-changing and unpredictable. Although the temperature was very pleasant last night, the temperature gradually dropped tonight.

The sailor wrapped his clothes and looked around with the oil lamp up high. There was nothing to do. He wanted to find a place to take a nap. The deck was quiet and he was the only one.

The big fish caught during the day was too big, so it was placed in the center of the front deck, with a body of more than 20 meters coiled in a ball, and its long tail was dragged out, hanging on the side of the boat, with beautiful and euphemistic lines.

At first glance, it looks like a woman covered with gold powder is asleep there, which makes people tremble.

Some awed fishermen put a cross in front of the big fish, with ghostly symbols carved on it that he couldn't understand.

The sailor didn't believe this, and he heard that this kind of deep-sea fish is the best belly, and he wanted to eat a piece.

rustling sound.

The sailor was taken aback, his hairs stood on end, he grasped the handle of the sailor's knife at his waist, and shouted, "Who is it?"

He held the oil lamp and turned around, but he didn't see any ghosts, and the rustling sound disappeared, only the sea breeze hoisted the corner flag on the mast.

The sailor was covered in cold sweat, turned around tremblingly, stared at the big fish, and stepped back step by step.

He vaguely felt that the sound came from the dragon fish, this beautiful fish that looked like a dick...couldn't it be...resurrected, right?

There was a "bang" sound from behind, and before the sailor had time to react, he was slammed and knocked to the ground.

"What the hell are you poking here like a log?" Mario stood behind the night watch sailor, clutching his chest.

Mario just woke up at night, came up from the bottom hold to release water on the deck, and wanted to blow some air after the water was released.

The night watchman and Mario both worked on the deck, and they got to know each other very well these days. Seeing that it was Mario, the night watchman was so happy that he got up and grabbed his wrist, saying:
"Brother, listen to me, is there any sound? Am I hearing it wrong or..."

Seeing his nervousness and horror, Mario pricked up his ears and listened carefully for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's the sea breeze, and the sound of water...is there any big fish swimming by?"

Suddenly, Mario shivered, and the rustling sound came, like... a huge snake was swimming on the ground covered with fallen leaves, the leaves were broken under its body, and its Scales scraped against ancient trees.

The sound came from the bottom of the boat ahead.

Is it really a big fish swimming through the bottom of the boat?Mario and the night watchman retreated to the center of the deck back to back, leaning their shoulders on the hatch, and slammed into the hatch hard.

Behind the big fish, in the darkness, a slender black figure slowly rose from below, curled up like a dragon or a snake, like the soft arms of a dancing girl.

Suddenly, hundreds of eyes opened all over the thing's body!

······
The moment Lancelot and Ayla rushed out of the hatch, they felt a fierce wind blowing from their heads.

He instinctively wanted to rush forward to dodge, but then thought that Ella was by his side, and if he dodged, Ella would be out of luck!
It was this moment of hesitation, and it was too late to avoid it.

At the last moment, Lancelot only had time to raise his left leg to kick Ayla away, and at the same time raised his arms, with the posture of a golden rooster standing alone, palms up to the sky, and held the blow firmly.

"Bam—"

Something fell down, not something like a sword, but a heavy body that was hundreds of meters long.

The solid deck under Lancelot's feet shook endlessly, and the wooden hatch was directly cracked, splashing flying sawdust.

It was pitch black all around, and the full moon was covered by dark clouds like thick ink, and I couldn't see my fingers.

I don't know how many people are running around on the deck, some are shouting, some are roaring, and some are giving orders loudly, but the sailors can't find their way in the chaos, and everyone is busy escaping for their lives.

After receiving that blow, what came to his face was a strange, strong smell of sea fish, which almost made Lancelot faint.

But Lancelot didn't hesitate. After his left foot landed, he squatted slightly with his legs, and at the same time exerted strength from his waist and abdomen, as if he instinctively lifted the heavy burden on his head.

Then Lancelot dodged and jumped away with Ella in his arms.

After finding a safer position, Lancelot just put Ella down when the deck shook again.

The sound of someone falling to the ground was followed by a palpitating wail.Wails rose from the deck into the air, as if the man had been lifted aloft by something.

The wailing sounded as shrill as if a hundred knives were scraping the man's bones, and then suddenly became dumb again.

There was a muffled sound of "poof" in the air, and the hot and humid rain flew down, drenching everyone, with a strong smell of blood.

No one knew what happened, but felt that all the blood of that person was squeezed out in an instant.

"What... what is this?" Lancelot, who was beside the shocked Ella, asked.

"This may be the Neptune that those people said during the day."

Lancelot's calm voice stood in stark contrast to the chaos on deck.

······
On the other side of the deck, the bosun beside Captain Frank also asked, "Captain, what is this?"

"The one who yelled just now was a newly recruited fisherman. He said it was a hundred-eyed sea snake." Captain Frank said calmly.

"Hundred-eyed sea snake? Why haven't I heard of this thing... If this is a sea snake, why would it throw its own body around?"

Captain Frank was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a brain!"

The boatswain had always looked rough, but he did not expect him to be keenly aware of what was wrong at this moment. This really made Captain Frank look at him with admiration.

The fishy wind pressed down from the top of the head again, and the weight of this thing itself was no less than ten thousand catties. It was held high in the air and smashed down, so fierce that it almost wanted to split the boat in half.

Captain Frank and the boatswain rolled in two directions at the same time, stood up violently in the rolling, the long knife and sailor's knife in their hands were raised in the air, and they slashed straight down!
What the sharp edge touches is an extremely tough texture, like the bark of some ancient tree. The knife has no strength to cut it, and it slides away and cuts deep into the deck.

The "Queen" is a large ocean-going merchant ship. The deck is made of century-old teak wood, which is extremely hard, but the sword is embedded in it for more than half a foot. With the strength of these two people, they couldn't pull it out for a while.
