As a precaution, Lan Mu did not look for Bai Ze, nor did he return to Shadow Island directly.
He dived about 500 meters into the sea and swam north. After an unknown number of kilometers, he finally stopped weakly.
"I actually succeeded on the first try!"
"I even got 10 pieces of Bastet metal!"
Although Lan Mu was injured, he was very happy.
He had thought that the super mobile battle team would be very strong, but after this battle, he understood the opponent's fatal weakness.
It was said that every member of the super mobile battle team had a piece of Bastet metal. In this way, they would always have a weakness in front of Lan Mu.
In the future, if he encountered a super mobile battle team, Lan Mu could turn the metal plate that was originally protecting his chest into a long sword and pierce his chest with just a thought.
"Gulp!"
Lan Mu ate and drank heartily. He rose slightly and stopped about 100 meters away.
"There are no pursuers … Hehe, even if there were, they would not be able to find me in the sea."
Lan Mu closed his eyes and rested in the sea.
He swallowed the oak tree, and the life orb automatically absorbed the energy. After calculating the time, it would take about four days.
Lan Mu decided to wait until the energy was replenished before doing anything else.
After an entire night of high-intensity battle, coupled with the huge tsunami, he was very tired. The laziness of a cold-blooded animal came up, and he was too lazy to move at all.
The sun rose and set. Four days passed in the blink of an eye.
At noon, he was 100 meters below the sea surface. He could barely bask in the sun here.
Six large whaling ships had unknowingly come to the nearby sea area and were chasing a blue whale.
The whaling ships were obviously flying the flag of Japan. There were more than 50 crew members on the six ships. They shouted excitedly and continued to accelerate in pursuit of a large buoy. Under the buoy, a whaling javelin was inserted into the tail of a blue whale. It wouldn't be long before the whale-towing ship would be able to kill it.
The whaling industry had existed since ancient times. With the improvement of technology, the number of whales caught every year increased.
Due to the discovery of oil and overhunting, the whaling industry declined at the end of the 19th century. In the 20th century, people found new uses for whale products, and the whaling industry revived slightly. However, the whale population was in danger of extinction.
Japan's commercial whaling has a history of more than 400 years, and Japan is currently the world's largest whaling and whale-eating country. In 1986, the International Convention on the Prohibition of Whaling came into force, and members of the International Whaling Commission renounced commercial whaling, including Japan and the United States. However, in 1987, Japan and Japan began to use the name of "scientific research" to bypass international conventions and resume large-scale whaling.
Although Greenpeace has been protesting in various ways and trying to stop Japan's whaling, Japan's whaling has never stopped.
"We caught up!"
Not far in front of the whaling fleet was the injured blue whale that was fleeing.
"Pull it up!"
"Puchi! Puchi! "
Two more shots were fired, and the javelins pierced into the blue whale's body.
After being chased for a long time, the blue whale was exhausted and could no longer swim.
The fleet surrounded the blue whale and used a machine to lift it up and drag it into a large factory ship.
"Pa pa pa …"
They laughed and applauded, encouraging each other to work together as a team. This was an excellent whaling operation.
The whaling ships were equipped with refining furnaces, so the whalers could refine the precious blubber into oil at sea and store the oil in barrels. There was no need to drag the whales back to the shore for processing. With such processing capabilities, the whaling ships usually had the ability to stay at sea for a long time.
The fleet stopped in the area and quickly began to process the blue whale.
Shinki Sano was the captain of this fleet, and he was also a member of the Mitsui Marine Group. This whaling operation was carried out in the name of scientific research.
They originally planned to go to the Antarctic area to hunt whales, but when they passed by the nearby waters, they found that there was a huge tsunami in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
Many types of whales appeared nearby, and they naturally did not want to give up the near for the far, so they directly ignored the ban and began to hunt whales.
He was watching his subordinates process the whale oil when suddenly, someone ran to him in a panic to report.
"Director Sano, the underwater sonar found an unknown creature below. It's … it's huge …"
Shinki Sano was stunned. "A whale?"
"No … it's much bigger than the blue whale. It seems to be a sea snake?"
The sonar detector could roughly see the outline of the creature at the bottom of the sea. As long as the distance was not too far and there was little interference, it could basically distinguish the species of the target. Moreover, the target seemed to be stationary in the sea.
"Sea snake? Don't worry about it … Wait! What did you say? It's bigger than the blue whale? "
Shinki Sano's attention finally came over. The blue whale was the largest animal in the world. What kind of sea snake could be bigger than the blue whale?
"It's true! Director, come and take a look! "
They came to the underwater sonar reactor and could clearly see the outline of a snake. Half of its body was coiled up, but even so, it was much bigger than the blue whale!
"How long is this?" Shinki Sano asked in a daze.
The subordinate swallowed and said, "Preliminary estimates … it's ninety meters long!"
"Nani!"
Shinki Sano jumped up excitedly, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. He slowly stretched upwards and finally laughed.
"To find such a big sea snake in the shallow waters, this … this must be a sea monster, right?"
"Strange sea monster corpses are occasionally found all over the world, but until now, no sea monster has been found. I didn't expect to find one so close to us! Hahaha! "
"Can you confirm whether it's alive or dead?"
The subordinate replied, "I don't know, it hasn't moved for a long time."
"Okay …"
Shinki Sano ran out of the cabin and shouted at the crew members who were working hard.
"Stop! Stop! "
The crew members didn't understand and looked at him.
"Start moving! There's a sea monster about two hundred and forty meters away from us! "
"As long as we can capture it, our corporation will be the center of attention of the world!"
"The corporation's research institute will definitely go crazy because of our discovery!"
The crew members looked at each other. They were just catching whales, so why were they suddenly going to catch a sea monster?
Although they were going out to sea in the name of scientific research, were they really going to do scientific research?
This group of people were all experienced fishermen and sailors in Japan. They had been hunting whales and dolphins all year round, and they had never encountered a sea monster in all these years.
"Director, are you joking? How can there be a sea monster? Could it be a big whale? "
"Maybe it's a squid or something …"
The crew members laughed and didn't care about the sea monster.
However, Shinki Sano roared, "Just now, the sonar detected a ninety-meter-long giant beast. It's just a hundred meters below the surface of the sea. It's just within our reach!"
"Now! Immediately! Go and capture that sea monster! "
"As long as we get it, the international environmental protection organization won't be able to stop us from catching whales in the name of scientific research …"
"Discovering a sea monster is our greatest scientific contribution!"
Everyone saw that the director's face was serious, and he seemed to be telling the truth.
"There's really a sea monster?"
"Si Kuoyi! Ninety meters! "
"Are we going to capture a sea monster?"
Shinki Sano had always been very prestigious in the company. At first, he thought that he was joking, but when he saw how serious he was, he immediately believed him.
Soon, six boats rushed to the top of the target.
"Director, it's a hundred meters below us."
"Okay! Use the high-powered whaling cannons! "
With an order, two javelins shot into the sea. However, after shooting about forty meters, they lost their strength and couldn't hit the sea monster at all.
"There's a lot of resistance in the sea. The whaling cannons can't hit that deep."
Shinki Sano wasn't willing to give up just like that. He immediately asked someone to bring in more explosives and a box of special cannonballs.
"Add more explosives to the whaling cannons. Standby!"
"You guys, bring the steel net into the water and catch it. We'll drag it."
"Bring these shock bombs with you. They're fishing tools that our company developed this year. They'll emit strong infrasound waves at the bottom of the sea, destroying the organs, blood vessels, and brain cells of the sea creatures …"
"Be careful! You have to confirm whether it's dead or alive. If it's just a corpse, just use the steel net to fish it out! Don't destroy the corpse! "
Shinki Sano warned. Thus, the ten crew members changed into their diving suits and brought their equipment and weapons. They were the steel net and the shock bombs.
"Hey!" They shouted and jumped back into the water.
The ten crew members continued to dive. A searchlight above their heads shone on the world below the sea.
As the depth of the water increased, fifty meters … seventy meters … ninety meters …
They finally saw the sea monster's true appearance.
It was a ninety meter long giant snake-like creature with distinct layers of black scales.
Its body was thick and solid, and it looked like a small mountain in front of them. Fear shrouded them in the deep sea.
"This is …"
They saw a snake's head that was bigger than a bus. It had a patterned horn that was as tall as a person. The snake's huge eyes were like cold, giant holes in the dark sea.
"Uh uh uh …"
The crew members were stunned. Their bodies stiffened, and their hearts couldn't help but beat faster.
When they saw the sea monster, they were already overwhelmed by fear.
"Dragon?"
