On the first day of Li Ke and Lady Luck's cooperation, they successfully survived an unstable night. After all, the storm that had begun brewing in the sky indicated the recent weather. So, the ship that the two of them snatched was very bumpy at night. When they woke up early in the morning, they found that their ship had deviated slightly from its course. It took Li Ke and Lady Luck a long time to pull the ship back onto its course.
Li Ke, who lowered the sail that he had raised, couldn't help but sigh.
"This is the first time I know that sailing on the sea is so troublesome."
When the work of more than a dozen people was put on the two of them, Li Ke realized how difficult it was to operate a large ship that could carry dozens of people and countless goods. Basically, they had to do everything. Whether it was adjusting the position of the sail or keeping watch at night to adjust the ship according to the wind direction, the seemingly easy work had now become very tedious and stressful. Basically, if it weren't for Li Ke's super strength and speed, the two of them would have suffered more on the sea and deviated from the course even more.
This was no laughing matter. After all, food, water, and wine were all limited.
"There's no other way. After all, they won't surrender. Those who can be sent to do this kind of smuggling business with the government are the kind of people who can make the behind-the-scenes boss feel assured."
Sarah sighed. In fact, she blamed Li Ke for killing the two captains directly in her heart. But at this point, it was useless to say anything. Most importantly, she knew that she couldn't defeat them without even trying. Furthermore, if she were to leave Li Ke, she would only be waiting for death. She couldn't operate a large ship by herself, and sailing on a small ship in the Sea of Conquerors was basically courting death.
"But we'd better be careful of the storm in the sky now. And because I haven't done the work of a harpoon man, we may encounter some other trouble."
Lady Luck looked at the dark sea and the black clouds that were already flashing with lightning. Her face was a little uneasy. After all, the storm that was coming was obviously not going to be small. After the storm appeared, some underwater monsters might emerge from the sea. She wasn't an experienced harpoon man who could determine the direction of the fish and how to use the fish to lure the sea monsters away, so she was very worried that they would encounter those terrifying monsters.
"What trouble?"
Li Ke asked, then looked at the buckets of bloody fish beside Lady Luck. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. But as soon as he finished speaking, he remembered the memory of the Gruffen that he had seen before. Then, his expression couldn't help but change, because he remembered that this wasn't Earth's ocean. It wasn't a world where blue whales and jellyfish were the biggest sea creatures. In this world's ocean, there were more monsters. Not to mention others, the city that this lucky lady beside him lived in had 'prospered' by hunting these terrifying sea beasts.
In the memory of the Gruffen, it had seen a monster whose tentacle was as big as it, and some monsters of different sizes that were about the same size as it. Gruffens were terrifying creatures that were just 'losers' that were pushed into shallow waters and some freshwater lakes. Most of the time, they would only take the initiative to attack when there was prey nearby.
"There are a lot of whales around here, so there are also a lot of monsters that hunt whales. Unfortunately, when a storm comes, those whales will float to the surface of the sea, so if we are unlucky, we may have to face some monsters with mouths that are 10 meters long."
Lady Luck's hands were covered in blood. She was using kraft paper as bait. She didn't raise her head as she answered Li Ke. She tried her best to tie up the kraft paper, then when a drop of water fell, she couldn't help but frown. And at this moment, Li Ke also heard a faint singing sound. He looked towards the direction of the sound and discovered that not far from their ship, some blue creatures were constantly emerging, and they were spitting out water pillars one after another. Li Ke estimated that the smallest of these whales was 17 meters long, and from the number, there were at least 30 of them.
And the song he heard was the sound of these big guys breathing, and it was very much like a beautiful singer singing a high note. It was a very wonderful experience. And because the time they breathed was different, and the time it took to breathe was very long, it made him feel like he was in a palace of music. Li Ke didn't know how to describe his feeling because this' singing 'was something that humans could never imitate with their throats. This was caused by the difference between races, and there was no other way.
"It's beautiful, right? But there are big guys coming."
However, this beautiful experience only lasted for a moment because Sarah stood up and pointed in a direction. The moment Li Ke looked over, he saw a big mouth that was more than 10 meters high suddenly appearing beside a relatively petite whale. Then, in a rapid and beautiful cry, half of the whale's body was bitten off. The whales that were breathing also turned over and dove into the water in an instant, and began to escape from this water area.
But unfortunately, the monster with a particularly big mouth had no intention of letting go of this big meal. Under Li Ke's surprised gaze, a fish head that was more than 30 meters tall suddenly rushed out of the sea and ate the lower half of the poor whale. After that, it fell back into the sea, rolled its huge body, and chased after the escaping whales. It set off huge waves on the sea, revealing its body that was more than 100 meters long. And its huge tail that was as big as half a football field.
And the most terrifying thing was that this monster was very fast, far faster than the ship under Li Ke's feet by two to three times.
"… Are there many of these monsters?"
Li Ke was silent for a long time before he couldn't help but ask Sarah, who was putting the bait back into the cabin. Her face was a little unnatural. After all, if this thing attacked them, he didn't think that the ship could escape.
"Almost, but these things are rarely seen in the main waterways."
Sarah was quite calm. She even had the time to wash her hands. Then, after looking at the thunder and clouds in the sky, she pointed at the mast of the ship to Li Ke.
"But let's take care of ourselves first. Let's cut this mast first. Otherwise, we won't be able to get out of this sea area."
However, as soon as her voice fell, before Li Ke could take any action, the raging winds and raging waves came crashing down.
