"Is that so?" Sheyan sneered. "If I say it's possible, then it's definitely possible!"
Seizing the opportunity while the young Ichthyosaur was violently convulsing in the sea due to the high voltage electricity, the submarine ignited its engine and fled at full speed. Two surging white waves gushed out from the rear of the submarine, propelling the submarine forward at high speed. The first mate observed the ever-increasing speed on the dashboard, as he sighed bitterly.
"The underwater speed is at most 15 knots, no more than that. That beast can accelerate to 20 knots in a short period of time! "
Sheyan coldly replied.
"Shut up, open your eyes wide and watch."
Following that, under the astonished gaze of the first mate, the speed on the dashboard had actually exceeded 15 knots, and was still rapidly climbing up! Sheyan suddenly asked.
"What's the maximum speed of this submarine on water?"
The first mate swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"20 knots … …."
Sheyan immediately ordered.
"Prepare to float, we can't care so much now. If we can reach 25 knots on water, then shaking off that beast won't be a problem. It wants to compete in endurance with us? That's a grave mistake! "
Sheyan had brazenly slaughtered his way in to establish his might, and forcefully suppressed the morale of these crew members. Such an action would undoubtedly cause them to be discontented in their hearts. Even if he wanted to do anything, they would only obey in public but oppose in private.
But now that he had issued his orders one by one, and actually managed to bring these crew members out of the water, they could at least see the light at the end of the tunnel. He had basically established his own prestige. At this time, as soon as he gave the order to prepare to float up, several people in the control room immediately rushed over and took the initiative to control the machine to float up. After all, everyone was now grasshoppers on the same rope.
Of course, the ones Sheyan used to establish his might were their colleagues and friends. To say that they would immediately prostrate themselves and cry for him to be their boss, that was completely wishful thinking. But right now, everyone was on the same boat. Even if there were some who objected, their opinions could only rot in their stomachs. At most, a wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him, and will they settle accounts later. But would Sheyan and the rest be afraid of settling accounts later?
Logically speaking, it was a huge violation of the rules for a submarine to drain water and float up at the same time. It would cause great damage to the ship, just like a car starting in third gear. However, it was impossible for the submarine to stop and drain water at this time. He couldn't care less about the damage to the machinery. He had to float up first.
During the process of floating, the submarine was not disturbed at all. However, after everyone went up to the deck, they could see that there were many deep dents on the hull of the submarine. It was a ghastly sight. If it wasn't for the fact that this submarine was converted from military to civilian use, it would have broken and sunk long ago.
After reaching the surface of the water, the submarine once again accelerated to 25 nautical miles per hour. With the enormous size of the Ichthyosaur, its explosive power might exceed this number for a short period of time, but if this continued, it would definitely be difficult to sustain. The physical reserves of living beings were still not as powerful as machines.
It was currently dusk. Under Sheyan's command, the submarine continued cruising swiftly on the surface of the sea. Under the setting sun, the surface of the water was scalded with a layer of golden ripples. Occasionally, flying fishes would leap out of the water.
This kind of flying fish was a very rare creature in the real world. They only appeared in places with very little pollution. They relied on their wide fins to glide in the air for a distance of nearly one to two hundred meters. Of course, the one that could fly the furthest would have the priority to mate with the female fish. The upper jaw of the flying fishes was rather sharp. Fortunately, their flying speed wasn't fast. Therefore, even in the present world, it was rare to hear of anyone being injured by them.
Sheyan spotted a flying fish, and with a wave of his hand, he plucked it down. Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! He sliced the fish into paper-thin sashimi, and started chewing it. He had tasted it once in the present world, and the taste was absolutely superb. Now, he was tasting this original top-grade delicacy again, and felt as though the delicate fish meat was about to melt on the tip of his tongue. Coupled with the faint saltiness of the seawater, even the seasoning was purely natural, causing one to feel refreshed and refreshed. Sheyan's eyes narrowed.
At this moment, the Ichthyosaur probably wouldn't be able to catch up anymore. The group escaped death by the skin of their teeth, and ascended to the deck to breathe in the fresh air. Seeing Sheyan eating with relish, they followed suit. Very quickly, they encountered another school of flying fishes.
When the first mate caught one, he also cut it open. However, he discovered that there was a large ball of fish eggs hidden in the fish's belly. The meat on the fish's body was naturally reduced, but he didn't feel anything strange. But after witnessing this scene, Sheyan suddenly felt that something was amiss. He pondered back and forth for a while, before suddenly saying in a deep voice, "That's right.
"Careful!! There's a formidable monster approaching! "
When Brother Black heard Sheyan's shout, he immediately asked nervously.
"Where is it?"
Sheyan's expression turned solemn as he replied.
"Only males of these flying fishes like to soar during courtship. Why would the females soar along with them? The only explanation is that they sensed a tremendous threat approaching, and hastily fled! "
After speaking, Sheyan immediately shouted to the others on the deck.
"Immediately change direction, full speed ahead towards the direction of the flying fishes!"
At this moment, everyone felt the submarine starting to sway faintly. The fishy stench of the seawater seemed to have intensified. Amidst the sea breeze, the deep and turbid breathing of a gigantic beast could be heard from afar.
All of a sudden! On the surface of the sea five to six hundred meters away, a thin, long, dirty white column of water shot up. It didn't disperse until it reached an extremely high altitude. Only then did it disperse into large patches of water vapor that looked like angry air.
Following closely, the seawater once again surged violently, as the back of a terrifying gigantic beast surfaced from the water. Its scales were alternating between faint purple and faint blue.
It was like a crocodile, concealing most of its body in the water. However, a pair of gigantic eyes were glaring over with a cold and greedy intent.
Those were the eyes of a predator!
From the exposed parts of its body, one could tell that this beast was bigger than the Ichthyosaur they encountered previously!
The Chief Mate was trembling from head to toe.
"Oh heavens, this, this is a Shark Dragon. Normally, we wouldn't encounter such a monster in this sea route. They usually hunt deep in the sea. Why are we continuously encountering such gigantic beasts today?"
Sheyan solemnly ordered.
"Accelerate and shake it off!"
The Chief Mate replied with a mournful face.
"I'm afraid that's difficult, sir. A Shark Dragon is much stronger than an Ichthyosaur. Its instantaneous sprint speed reaches 80 nautical miles per hour, and it can sustain for close to half an hour! Only a warship wouldn't fear its attacks! "
"Then, there's only one solution left." This voice belonged to Zi. Her countenance was somewhat haggard, but the oppressive aura she exuded was even sharper! It was like a sharp blade that had just killed someone!
"If we can't avoid it, then we'll finish it off!"
Sheyan insipidly replied.
"Yes, only Awakeners can contend against this beast. The disparity between Awakeners and Growth-Hunters isn't that great. A Growth-Hunter is like a superhuman who possesses immense strength but doesn't know how to utilize it. As for Awakeners, they are gradually beginning to comprehend it, and are able to utilize their strength to the maximum. As for Zi, you should be at the pinnacle of Growth-Hunters right? I believe the four of us can handle this beast.... but, we haven't even set foot on Jurassic Island yet! If we use up your final trump card now, what will happen if we encounter an unexpected situation in the future? "
Zi coldly replied.
"Then what do you suggest we do? Even this Shark Dragon can use its speed to delay us. However, if we continue to sail on the sea like this, it won't be long before we all die under the pterosaur's crazy attacks! "
Sheyan took a deep breath and abruptly turned to the Chief Officer.
"Slow down, stop the ship!"
The Chief Officer widened his mouth in astonishment. Instead, Brother Black's gun barrel instantly locked onto him. He could only frown with a bitter expression as he slid down the ship. Before the submarine came to a stop, Sheyan had already descended the ship's ladder step by step with a solemn expression. Instead, the Shark-Wyrm was already charging over at high speed!
At this moment, Sheyan pulled out 'Ambition' and soaked it in the water.
All of a sudden, an indescribable tyrannical aura permeated the sea! The seawater in front of Sheyan suddenly wriggled strangely. At least several hundred square meters of seawater wriggled like gelatin, before transforming into an incomparably gigantic octopus. It could be said to be extremely lifelike. The octopus illusion wantonly extended its limbs within the seawater, as its thick and long tentacles rippled along with the waves.
Upon witnessing the illusion formed by the seawater, for some unknown reason, a substantial fear suddenly welled up in Zi's heart. In an instant, her spirit was gravely wounded!
"Could this be the might of a legendary tier-9 creature?" Zi muttered.
At this moment, the Shark-Wyrm rapidly slowed down its swimming speed. It similarly sensed the immense pressure from Paul the Octopus illusion, though it had never seen such a formidable creature before. Both parties remained in a deadlock for several minutes before the Shark-Wyrm finally turned and left. Not only did it use its fins to swim, it also adeptly utilized its muscles to constantly squeeze out seawater as it swam into the distance with astonishing speed.
At this moment, Sheyan calmly climbed back into the submarine. Zi was about to question him, why didn't he take out such a great weapon earlier? Only then did she notice that Sheyan's forehead was covered with sparkling droplets of water. Sheyan didn't know whether it was sweat or water, but he appeared extremely fatigued. He already knew what Zi wanted to say and smiled wryly.
"This is the aura left behind by the Kraken Paul. In the Pirates of the Caribbean world, it was naturally successful. However, in this world, there would often be two extremes. The first would be to scare them away. However, in this world, there is a greater possibility that it would incite the competitive nature of these fellows, causing them to pounce and fight to the death!"
