Su Yu carried the two furballs onto the deck with the fried fish and lobster.
Prince Jing, who was fishing quietly at the bow of the ship, smelled the aroma and immediately threw away the fishing rod in his hand.
The sky was clear, and the wind was calm.
Su Yu put the food on the wide cushion and took out the two furballs from her lapel. Then, she called the National Tutor to come down and eat.
During the day, the National Tutor would lean on the cushion on the observatory and occasionally correct the direction of the ship. She slowly opened her cold eyes and glanced at the black and yellow cats that were still chasing after the clockwork mice. Then, she slowly got up and directly jumped down from the high platform.
Her white robe fluttered in the wind, and her slender body was like a snow-white butterfly, lightly floating down.
The National Tutor sat down gracefully on the cushion. The little golden furball arched out from under its father's belly and stumbled towards the National Tutor. The cub naturally liked the peaceful smell of Bai Ze's bloodline. Even if it was ignorant, it instinctively wanted to get close to it.
She broke open the tough shell of the lobster and revealed the white and tender meat. The green and white minced garlic and golden sesame oil blended into the white meat. When she picked up her chopsticks, the meat seemed to be broken, but it was not broken. It was very tempting.
In order to prevent the big cats from fighting, Su Yu evenly divided the lobster meat into four bowls. The first bowl was naturally given to His Majesty, who was in his arms, and the second bowl was given to the National Tutor. The remaining two bowls were not yet distributed, as the other two big cats could not wait to grab the bowls and eat.
"Mi …" His Highness The Crown Prince lay on the National Tutor's lap. He looked left and right, then opened his small mouth and wanted to take a bite.
Su Yu carried the little guy over. Wang Gonggong, who had gone to get the soup, arrived in time and handed him a small bowl of fish soup that was just right for him.
While the family was eating happily, a gust of sea wind suddenly blew.
The National Tutor frowned slightly, swallowed the lobster meat in his mouth, and looked up into the distance.
"Whoosh … Whoosh …" The sea breeze grew stronger and stronger, and the originally calm surface of the sea started to ripple, hitting the hull of the ship.
Su Yu couldn't hold the fish soup in his hand anymore. His Highness The Crown Prince was still holding onto his hand and opening his mouth to drink.
"Hua la!" A huge wave hit, and the boat suddenly tilted. Su Yu hurriedly raised the bowl of soup in his hand, but it was too late. The wave was about to hit him.
The Emperor abruptly transformed back into his human form. With one hand, he caught Su Yu, who was about to lie down. With his other hand, he quickly caught the bowl of soup. He drew a flower in the air and held it firmly in his palm, not spilling a single drop.
"Miya!" His Highness The Crown Prince, who was lying in Su Yu's arms, called out excitedly to his Imperial Father.
The Emperor raised his hand and drank all the fish soup in the bowl in one gulp. He stuffed the empty bowl into Su Yu's hands and said, "Carry your son into the room."
Prince Jing, who was wearing a black wide-sleeved gown, jumped up to the bow of the ship and frowned as he looked into the sea. "Leatherback turtles!"
Prince Ling went over to take a look. He saw more than ten things with turtle shells and fish bodies floating in the sea. They were leatherback turtles, and when they saw them, the wind and waves started to blow.
More and more leatherback turtles floated to the surface of the sea, and the wind and waves in the sea became bigger and bigger. The huge waves hit the hull of the ship, creating huge splashes. Su Yu staggered to the cabin door with his son in his arms. He was caught off guard and was splashed with seawater. He immediately shivered from the cold, and his son in his arms was also wet.
He hurriedly ran into the room with his son in his arms. He stumbled to find a cloth towel and wrapped the wet ball of fur up. It was still cold, so he had to quickly dry himself. It would be troublesome if his son caught a cold.
The net caught a few leatherback turtles, but more and more leatherback turtles gradually floated to the surface of the sea. The waves became bigger and bigger, and dark clouds began to gather in the sky. The sound of the huge waves was deafening. Prince Jing shouted to the Emperor, "I think we've reached the sea monster's nest!"
Leatherback turtles were not common in the sea. It would be a disaster for fishermen to encounter one by chance. Now that so many of them had gathered here, it could only mean that this was a gathering place for sea monsters. Usually, places with many sea monsters would be surrounded by leatherback turtles. This way, once someone appeared, the strange phenomenon in the sea would attract the attention of the sea monsters.
The people on the ship were swayed from side to side, but the National Tutor was still standing as steadily as Mount Tai. His cold gaze swept across the dark clouds in the sky, and then he looked at the leatherback turtles in the sea. "Kill all the leatherback turtles, and the waves will calm down." After he finished speaking, he turned around and jumped onto the high platform. The glazed roof of the platform blocked the splashing water very well.
"Woo — —" The bugle horn sounded, and the soldiers on the ships behind quickly walked out of the cabin door.
His Majesty the Emperor covered himself with a layer of waterproof silk and stood at the bow of the ship with his hands behind his back. "Don't leave a single one alive."
Prince Jing took the war flag, waved it a few times, and circulated his Qi in his dantian. He said cheerfully, "Cast the net and set the formation."
Large nets glowing with silver light were cast down from the nearby ships, covering the entire group of Leatherback Turtles. The huge waves caused by the leatherback turtles also lifted them up. The moment they fell back, the huge fishing net suddenly tightened and caught all the sea monsters that fell down.
Prince Ling pulled out his long spear, raised his hand, and caught one end of the fishing net that Prince Jing had thrown to him. He pulled hard, pulled the fishing net over, and threw it hard on the ground. Then he swung his silver spear and slashed it diagonally. With a few muffled sounds, a string of turtle shells were broken.
Prince Lu immediately pulled out his sword and followed behind the Prince to kill the leatherback turtles that had revealed their fish bodies.
The soldiers of the Eastern Sea bravely killed the fish. Not long after, hundreds of leatherback turtles were killed. The huge waves rolled for a while, then gradually calmed down.
Su Yu dried his son's fur and held him in the main hall for a long time. When he saw that the waves had gradually calmed down, he carried His Highness The Crown Prince and walked out.
The sea was calm, as if there had never been a storm. However, the deck was filled with the smell of blood. The shattered turtle shells and fish bodies were everywhere, indicating what had just happened.
"Who told you to come out!" His Majesty the Emperor turned around and saw Su Yu. He immediately frowned and coldly told him to go back quickly. Before he could finish speaking, there was a loud bang. The hull seemed to have been hit by a huge impact. Su Yu immediately felt that he was thrown up, and his whole body was light as a feather.
An Hong-chul rushed over, grabbed Su Yu's waist, and somersaulted in the air. He slapped his palm on the railing and used the force to stabilize himself. He landed on the small platform on the second floor and uncontrollably took two steps back. Then he stuffed Su Yu back into the cabin. "Stay on the bed and don't move around. Be careful!"
"Meow!" The Crown Prince suddenly screamed. His Majesty the Emperor turned around and saw a huge black shadow coming over on the waves. It looked like a ferocious beast on the wasteland, and it directly crashed into the imperial ship like a gladiator.
"Bang!" There was a crisp sound. That fellow crashed into the thick iron shell, and the ship shook violently. That black shadow seemed to have become dizzy from the impact and fell into the water with a splash.
Su Yu tightly grasped the handrail beside the cabin door, but he still couldn't avoid falling to the ground.
"Moo —" There was a long cry. More black shadows flapped their wings and came over on the waves. Each had the body of a fish and the tail of a snake, and their bodies were like water buffaloes.
"It's a salmon!" Su Yu's eyes widened. This salmon was not a very edible salmon, but a monster recorded in the Illustrated Handbook of Mountains and Rivers. Although it was a fish, it was as big as a water buffalo. It had a snake tail and wings, and its voice was like a cow's. It died in the winter and came back to life.
This kind of fish was not a hindrance to the rivers and mountains. It was just that it was very ferocious, or it could be said that it was somewhat inexplicable. They would die when winter came, sink to the bottom of the sea, and come back to life when the ice and snow melted. The freshly awakened salmon would forget everything that happened last year and only rely on their instincts. They especially liked to crash into things that were bigger than them, whether it was coral, large fish, or ships.
"Release the arrows!" Prince Ling stood on high ground and raised his hand to wave the war flag in his hand. The archers on each ship immediately stepped forward and aimed at the giant salmon. "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh." They drew their bows and shot.
"Puff, puff, puff —" Before the salmon was shot to death, a series of sounds broke through the water, giving people a bad premonition. Following that, countless monsters with fish bodies and snake tails emerged from the water. They were only the size of ordinary grass carps, but they could jump very high. One after another, a few of them would jump onto the ship.
"Ah!" The outermost archer's arm was bitten by a fish that leaped up, and blood immediately dripped down. This fish had a pair of long, sharp teeth in its mouth. It was very terrifying.
"Tiger Shark!" His Majesty the Emperor narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to draw a short sword from his sleeve. He slashed the fish that leaped up.
Su Yu rolled on the ground and rolled into the cabin, then closed the door behind him. Although the Tiger Shark was not big, it was very ferocious. Its temperament was like that of a snake. Once it saw something being waved, it would pounce and bite it. He didn't care, since it wasn't poisonous. However, if his precious son in his arms was bitten, he would certainly lose his life.
Su Yu rolled and crawled to the side of the bed. The hull of the ship shook violently again. Su Yu fell and his head hit the floor with a "dong" sound. He immediately grimaced in pain.
"Put away the arrows and get off the ship!" His Majesty the Emperor decisively ordered. If they didn't kill the Tiger Shark, it would be difficult to kill the salmon. The Tiger Shark was small, so they had to be close to capture it.
The soldiers of the Eastern Sea were not afraid of the sea monsters. They quickly picked up their weapons, slid down the ship's rope, and boarded the small boat.
Su Yu struggled to climb onto the bed with great difficulty. He rubbed his aching head, hugged his son, and moved into the bed. He opened the small window beside the bed.
There were originally many large windows in the main room, but he didn't dare to open them at this moment. At the head of the short bed, there was a small window that was one foot long and four fingers high. It was originally used to open the sea view while lying on the bed. At this moment, it just so happened that it could be used to see the situation outside.
The huge salmon unceasingly rammed into the ship, and the archers didn't stop shooting these crazy guys. The officers and soldiers on the small boat all had solemn expressions as they held their weapons and fought in the sea. Su Yu slightly frowned. This scene seemed to be moving and moving, but for some reason, he felt that something was wrong.
"Mi!" His Highness The Crown Prince burrowed out from his lapel, and his still-wet hair rubbed against Su Yu's chin.
"Ah, I know!" Su Yu slapped the bed, scaring the kitten. He quickly kissed the wet head, but when he raised his head to look at the battle scene, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch. There was no other reason. It was because the weapons in the hands of the officers and soldiers weren't awe-inspiring spears, nor were they large swords that glittered with cold light. Instead, they were fishing nets, harpoons, and large wooden sticks!
