As soon as Shao Xuan left, Guigou, Mu Fa, and the others were still discussing what kind of danger they might encounter when they heard Caesar growling. He looked very anxious, as if he felt that some kind of danger was approaching.
Thinking of what Shao Xuan said before he left, they stopped discussing and hurriedly paid attention to the situation around them. Caesar's reaction meant that he had discovered something.
"Caesar, what's the matter?" Guigou observed Caesar's every movement. He noticed that Caesar was growling anxiously, sometimes facing the sea, sometimes looking down. When he was facing the sea, he didn't have a fixed direction, but he was growling down. Does this mean that there's something under the ship, or in the sea?
Shao Xuan had warned them that they didn't necessarily have to be on guard against people. Then, could it be a sea beast?
Mu Fa blew the emergency alert whistle, and the atmosphere in the fleet suddenly became tense. Caesar's growling grew louder and more anxious, as if he was afraid of something.
When they were hunting in the forest, Caesar didn't show any signs of fear even when he encountered some ferocious beasts that were difficult to deal with. But now, Gui He and the others' hearts sank. They were afraid that the trouble was bigger than they thought.
Mu Fa took out his binoculars and observed the surrounding sea. He didn't see anything that could pose a threat to them, but …
Twitching his nose, Mu Fa asked, "Do you guys smell something?"
"It's a little … stinky," Guigou said. Previously, he thought it was an illusion, or maybe it was because someone in the fleet didn't clean up after killing the fish. But now, the stench was getting stronger and stronger. It was obviously different from the food debris on the ship. The smell was pungent.
"It smells like rotten fish." A warrior of the Longboat tribe said, looking at the net in his hand that he had just pulled up. Just now, he and a few others worked together to cast the net to catch fish. Now, they didn't catch many fish, but they found a lot of strange fragments.
"What's that?" Mu Fa frowned and went over to look at the things in the net.
"I don't know." The warrior who was pulling the net took a whiff and leaned back with a twisted face. "It stinks!"
To people who were not used to the stench, the smell was disgusting. The people on the Long Boat could still bear it, but the others couldn't.
"What the hell is this? Hurry up and throw it away!" someone said while pinching his nose.
The soldiers pulling the net were about to throw the smelly pieces into the sea, but Mu Fa stopped them.
When they were sailing, they would sometimes face a shortage of food, but even if they were hungry, they would not eat the dead fish in the sea. After eating some of the dead fish, with their physique as totem warriors, they could still bear it. But some fish, when rotting, would produce a terrible stench, and at the same time, it was highly toxic. Even powerful totem warriors could not resist it. However, their understanding of the sea was limited. They could not tell which fish were edible and which were not. But after so many voyages, they found that most of the fish were inedible. So, in the fleet, Mu Fa simply did not let anyone touch the rotting fish.
Now, in front of them, these rotting pieces of meat that were pulled up by the net should have fallen from some kind of sea beast in the sea.
"It should be a big guy." Mu Fa held his breath and used a metal stick to poke at the pieces of meat. After observing, he came to a conclusion. "There are dead sea beasts in the sea."
"Chief! Look! "The warrior standing on the edge of the boat was shocked.
"What?" Guigou strode to the edge of the boat and looked at the sea. He was also shocked.
On the sea surface, there were many similar rotting pieces of meat floating up from the water. The surrounding area was shrouded in a strong stench.
Not only them, but a large area on the sea surface was the same. Those rotting pieces of meat of different sizes rose and fell on the sea surface. It was a horrifying sight.
"Something is wrong with the current!" An old warrior of the Longboat tribe frowned. There was always a reason for all changes, but they couldn't find a suitable reason to explain this phenomenon.
Observing the movement of these currents, they felt more like there was a huge object moving under the water. Fortunately, the place with the most rotting meat was not here, but a little further away.
Caesar's low growl became more intense. The hair all over his body stood up like steel needles. The third eye in the middle of his forehead was wide open, but his pupils were contracted. This was a reaction when facing a stronger creature.
Creak — —
The boat began to shake.
Waves suddenly appeared on the sea surface. However, the wind at this time was not strong enough to cause such waves.
"There's something under the sea!"
"Be careful!"
The crew of the Longboat tribe were busy controlling the boat. They were afraid that if they were not careful, they would be overturned by the waves.
There were bigger waves in the distance. They rose and were broken by another current. The seawater was stirred up, and the stench became more pungent. But at this time, no one cared about it. They all stared nervously at the sea surface.
Hua — —
The waves rose, and a huge broken tail broke the surface of the sea. It made a circle in the air, and then smashed into the sea again.
The waves caused the fleet to shake violently. If it were not for the experienced crew of the Longboat tribe controlling the boat, there would have been a boat overturned by the waves. They were so far away, and if they were closer, what kind of impact would they suffer? They did not dare to imagine.
The stinky waves hit the boat, and there were pieces of rotting meat of different sizes in the waves. The deck was full of stinky seawater and the pieces of rotting meat that smashed over.
In the distance, a huge figure broke the surface of the sea, and part of it was exposed. It turned in a circle, and then plunged back into the sea. They could not see its specific appearance, but the people of the fleet could clearly remember its huge size.
Only a part of it was exposed, and it was already so huge. Then, how big was the whole sea beast?
The most shocking thing was that there was more than one such sea beast!
Farther away from the fleet, there were many other huge figures.
"What … what is that?!"
"Why are there so many sea beasts? I've never seen them on the sea before! "
"Those sea beasts are a little strange, like … like …" The Longboat tribe member stammered as he looked at the sea. He was so shocked that he could not speak.
"Death aura," Gan Qie said as he looked at the sea.
"You mean …" Mu Fa looked at Gan Qie in shock, waiting for an explanation.
"They're all dead," Gan Qie said concisely.
"You mean, none of those huge sea beasts were alive?!" Some people did not understand. If they were dead, why could they still move?
But on second thought, there were many puppets made from corpses in the desert. But what they did not understand was that there were only a few of them. But now, there were huge sea beasts on the sea!
They could even control dead sea beasts!
It was a sunny day, but everyone felt a chill run down their spine. It was as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over their heads.
If all the sea beasts that appeared in the distance were to attack them, would they still be able to survive? This was the sea!
"Look! They're leaving! "Someone shouted excitedly.
The others also looked over when they heard the voice. They discovered that the sea beasts that had stirred up the sea surface and had yet to reveal themselves were indeed moving away from them.
But …
"That's the direction Shao Xuan left!" Mu Fa exclaimed.
"So this is the trouble Shao Xuan mentioned?"
"Their target should be Shao Xuan," said the Mang tribesman.
If Shao Xuan had not left and was still on the ship, would those sea beasts have attacked their fleet?
If those sea beasts had really attacked the fleet, what were their chances of survival? Mu Fa did not dare to think about it. The result would have been disappointing.
On the other hand, after Shao Xuan left the fleet, he noticed that there were rotting beast carcasses on the sea. Some even had bones sticking out of them.
Yi Xiang could even enslave these sea beasts!
The sea beasts that appeared all had the same target, Shao Xuan, who was flying in the air.
Many of the sea beasts that appeared from all directions had been living in the deep sea and rarely appeared on the surface. Their lives were long over but today, they were once again exposed to Yang Guang!
Shao Xuan did not know how many sea beasts of this size Yi Xiang could enslave. He was glad that he left the fleet early. Looking at the sea beasts that were only partially exposed, Shao Xuan patted Chacha. "Keep going!"
Chacha was much faster than the sea beasts. Shao Xuan didn't know how fast the sea beasts were when they were alive but now, the enslaved sea beasts were far slower than Chacha.
The beast horde was gradually left behind. Shao Xuan continued to fly according to his original plan. He could first find a safe place to hide from this attack. However, even if he avoided this attack, there would be a next time, and a time after that.
Shao Xuan had a feeling that if he avoided Yi Xiang's attack this time, he would have to pay a greater price the next time.
Since he could not avoid it, he had to face it head on!
