Chapter 310 - 310 Taking Action At the Critical Moment
310 Taking Action At the Critical Moment
The elderly fisherman forced a smile and looked at Gu Mingzhou with a gentle gaze.
However, before Gu Mingzhou could finish his sentence, the wooden boat started shaking violently again.
The dull sound came from the stern again, and the wooden boat shook even more violently than before.
The seawater churned, and huge waves suddenly rose at the stern.
Splash!
A huge, pitch-black figure emerged from the waves.
It was a black shadow that was three to four times larger than the entire wooden boat. It was round on the top, but eight huge tentacles as thick as an adult man were swaying from the bottom. They were nearly a hundred meters long and swayed between the waves. It was impressive.
“Release the holy water. Use the Holy water!” the voice of Fifth Uncle Li, who had left earlier, could be heard. He seemed to be extremely panicked.
Following fifth Uncle Li’s voice, dozens of water pillars as thick as an arm shot out from the stern of the ship. They hit the black figure in the rolling waves precisely.
It was unknown what the holy water was, but it left a few wisps of white smoke in the air.
When it landed on the black figure, it produced an even more intense reaction. The white smoke turned black, and the sizzling sound was loud. The black smoke rolled and rose continuously!
The black shadow seemed to have been severely injured. Its huge body began to twist violently, causing the seawater within a hundred miles to roll and surge!
The pitch-black figure even let out a sharp, ear-piercing scream of pain.
The scream was like a sonar, not only ear-piercing but also mind-shaking.
At a speed visible to the naked eye, it instantly engulfed the entire fishing boat.
“Ah!”
“I can’t take it!”
“Help!”
Many people at the stern couldn’t stand the strong sound and fell to the ground, covering their ears with their hands and screaming.
There were even some people who were bleeding from their seven orifices. They were extremely terrifying as they rolled on the floor.
Bang! Bang!
The cabin that was swept by the sharp sound made a loud noise. The entire cabin’s roof was directly blown up by the sound. It flew dozens of meters away and fell into the sea.
The wind howled, and the sea churned. The fishing boat began to shake violently and creak.
Kachaa!
A cracking sound was heard, and the mast of the fishing boat suddenly broke.
“Fifth Uncle, it’s bad! The mast has been blown off!”
Of the four fishermen guarding Gu Mingzhou, the slightly older fisherman realized the mast was broken. He held on tightly to the railing by the side of the fishing boat and shouted towards the stern.
The wind was still howling, and the fishing boat was shaking even more violently!
The waves kept hitting the fishing boa, as if it was going to capsize in an instant.
The people on the fishing boat no longer attacked the black figure that was struggling in the monstrous waves. They were all flipped over by the violent shaking of the fishing boat.
They all fell onto the deck and swayed along with the fishing boat. They were in great pain.
“This is a sea monster?”
Gu Mingzhou held the guardrails beside him and let the fishing boat sway. He looked at the stern of the boat and saw a dark figure struggling violently in the huge waves.
The more he looked, the more familiar he felt.
Unfortunately, the distance was too far, and with the splashing sea water and huge waves, he could only see the outline, not sure if he had seen it before.
“It seems that this time, we’re probably doomed!” just as Gu Mingzhou was observing the sea monster, the fishermen behind him who were responsible for guarding the ship had almost been shaken to all corners by the fishing boat.
Only the old fisherman held the guardrail beside him tightly and barely managed to stabilize his body. He leaned against Gu Mingzhou and spat out a mouthful of seawater.
“Big Brother, we’re already on the verge of death. Can I discuss something with you?” Gu Mingzhou shouted.
“What is it? You tell me!” the fisherman said.
“Help me untie the rope!” Gu Mingzhou allowed the splashing seawater to hit him.
The fishermen did not seem to expect Gu Mingzhou to make such a request at this time.
“Fine, I’ll help you cut the rope so your hands won’t be tied up when you reach the netherworld!” The fisherman did not refuse.
Gu Mingzhou took advantage of the moment when the fishing boat tilted to the side and reached the fisherman in two steps.
The fisherman didn’t hesitate. He immediately waved the waist knife in his right hand and cut the rope that tied his hands.
“Many thanks, Big Brother. How should I address you?” Gu Mingzhou asked as he grabbed the railing and supported the fisherman with his hands.
“My name is Li Hao. If you want to, you can call me Uncle Hao. I see that you have extraordinary skills, so you must be good at swimming. Now that no one has found you, quickly escape by yourself!” Li Hao said as he came back to his senses.
Fifth Uncle Li, who had been directing the fight against the sea monster at the stern, suddenly rolled over.
It was very fast. It rolled past Gu Mingzhou and Li Hao instantly and stopped right next to the broken mast.
Fifth Uncle Li braved the strong wind and waves and stood up on the violently shaking deck.
He used the rope beside him to tie himself to the broken mast, suddenly grabbing the fallen sail with both hands.
“You must be steady! Don’t be afraid, our holy water will definitely injure the sea monster, and it won’t be able to do anything. Let the helmsman drive the ship away, and I’ll lift the sail!” Fifth Uncle Li, who was grabbing the sail, shouted at the top of his voice.
The strong wind came at the right time.
It happened to blow on the sail that Fifth Uncle Li had raised alone, causing the fishing boat, which was deep in the waves, to be blown more than forty meters away.
Although he was not completely out of the control of the waves and sea monsters, he had left the place where the sea water was the most turbulent.
This allowed the fishing boat that was on the verge of falling apart to escape death, and even the shaking speed was not as intense as before.
“Helmsman, set sail quickly. Fifth Uncle is holding the sail!” Li Meng’s voice was heard from the stern of the ship.
The helmsman, who had been hesitating, finally regained control of the rudder and began to control the fishing boat, wanting to leave this place.
At this moment, the giant black figure in the monstrous waves seemed to sense that the fishing boat was about to escape. Its body suddenly shook and pulled out two huge tentacles.
Whoosh!
The two fearsome-looking tentacles instantly pierced through the waves and whipped toward the fishing boat.
Before it even got close, the tail of the fishing boat had already sunk. If it hit, the fishing boat would probably fall apart on the spot.
The fishermen, who had just built up their confidence, were dumbfounded at this moment. The unavoidable aura of death made them completely desperate.
“Grandpa!” Li Mingliang, who was crying, suddenly ran out of the cabin without a roof. His thin and shaking body seemed to be blown away as he ran towards Fifth Uncle Li, who was lifting the mast.
Before Li Mingliang could run to Fifth Uncle Li’s side, the tentacle in mid-air had already attacked him. Li Mingliang instantly twitched.
“Mingliang!” Fifth Uncle Li’s eyes were red as he roared.
The people on the fishing boat were also in a state of panic as they roared.
When the tentacle was close to Li Mingliang, it suddenly stopped.
Fifth Uncle Li, who was in so much pain that he wanted to die, realized that a figure had appeared behind his grandson and blocked the sea monster’s fierce attack with his bare hands.
“Gu Mingzhou?” Fifth Uncle Li instantly recognized the person who had saved his grandson. It was the young man he had saved from the sea.
“How is that possible?”
“He actually blocked the sea monster’s attack with his bare hands!”
“Oh my God!”
The people on the fishing boat also recognized Gu Mingzhou, and they all showed expressions of disbelief.
