Lights out!

When the bottom of the ship obviously hit something and there was a shadow coming towards us in the distance, the captain made this decision very decisively.

Even now, the ship is gradually sinking.

To be honest, although the moon cannot be seen tonight, it is still a good weather with no stormy waves or strong winds and rain. Who knows that in this case, he will still face the risk of being buried in the sea.

"If you still trust me, just shut up!"

After scolding the only remaining people on the deck to silence, as the black shadow that could not be clearly seen approached rapidly, the entire ship fell into darkness and silence.

Apart from the slight and gentle surging sound of some waves, there was only the faint sound from under the cabin from time to time.

Not long after, during this period of silence, everyone on the deck felt that the surrounding waves began to increase. It was as if something huge was gradually approaching...

"Wow--"

Suddenly, a series of water sounds rang out from the nearby sea, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the ship. However, when several of the crew members cautiously stuck their heads out from the side of the ship to take a look, they found nothing.

Yes, of course they won't see anything, because those creatures are not directly detectable by Muggles like them.

If there is a wizard present at this moment, they will be able to see that groups of strange creatures have appeared on the sea around the ship. Their bodies are covered with something similar to seaweed, making it impossible to see their specific appearance.

Only among the "seaweed" floating slowly with the waves, pairs of eyes with a cold light are as clear as the stars in the night sky.

And it was those eyes that were all focused on the black shadow in the distance, as if they were alert to some impending danger.

"Is there...something?"

One of the crew members swallowed subconsciously - the inexplicably depressing atmosphere around him made him temporarily forget about the fact that the ship he was on was still sinking little by little.

The waves are getting bigger and bigger.

"That is--"

The black shadow in the distance finally got closer, but the black shadow was still a black shadow.

The crew members could all see the huge figure pushing away the waves and approaching quickly, but no matter how close they were, it was still difficult to tell what kind of behemoth it was. Because they found that no matter how they looked, it was just a vague and huge figure.

Just an outline.

However, although we still don’t know why Muggles can see the outline of the giant thing, but the crack-tooth sea monsters swarming on the surrounding sea are completely invisible. But at least, the danger that follows is obvious.

It is inevitable.

When the black shadow got closer and closer, and the huge waves pushed away the sinking ships, the surrounding crack-tooth sea monsters that had poked out of the sea finally moved!

As mentioned before, although the Cracktooth Sea Monster is not a very vicious creature, except for hunting, they do not often actively attack other marine life.

However, when other creatures approach them recklessly, they will fight back without hesitation.

And when that time comes, they will let the enemies approaching at will know that swarms of cracktooth sea monsters are definitely not someone to be trifled with.

In just over ten seconds, the sea monsters surged and surrounded the black shadow. They were constantly shuttling back and forth on the sea surface and in the water, with their mouths full of irregular sharp teeth.

Opened up.

The only weapon of these crack-tooth sea monsters is the terrifying fangs that can crush even steel.

Unfortunately, tonight, the group bite attack that made the Cracktooth Sea Monsters invincible did not seem to work as well as in the past.

Just at the moment of being surrounded, the huge figure suddenly opened its eyes, and a strong sense of crisis immediately made the sea monsters feel the threat of death.

No, this is far more than a simple threat - because when the sea monsters saw those gray-white eyes in the darkness, death had truly come to them!

The next second, a large number of sea monsters that emerged from the water completely lost their life. They could no longer float on the sea surface, but sank to the bottom of the sea as their lives passed away.

As for the sea monsters swimming below the sea surface, some of them saw the eyes of the black shadow through the sea water.

Although this part of the sea monster did not die directly, it quickly became petrified as soon as the sight came into contact. Soon, it turned into stone statues of sea monsters and sank into the deep sea following their dead companions.

No one would have thought that just by meeting them, most of these crack-tooth sea monsters that other sea creatures dare not approach would have been killed or injured.

But now, the true identity of that huge black shadow has become obvious.

Just as one of Maka's conjectures goes, the basilisk in Wagado, Africa, chose to enter the ocean, which is why it suddenly disappeared without a trace on the African continent.

"Wow——"

Immediately afterwards, the basilisk turned over again. Its huge body suddenly swung in the sea, and its powerful tail split the sea water, severely hitting several surviving crack-tooth sea monsters.

Those sea monsters didn't even make good use of their only weapon, and were pushed away far away. Under such a huge force, even if they couldn't die for a while, it would be difficult to attack the opponent again.

The next attack is launched.

After a while, the Cracktooth Sea Monster, which suffered heavy casualties, naturally no longer dared to attack anymore, and hurriedly scattered and fled.

When the basilisk saw this, it didn't chase after it. It just casually glanced at the ship that was drifting farther and farther away and was about to sink completely. Then it swung its huge body and swam forward, and soon disappeared.

distance.

"It seems...there's no movement?"

The crew on the deck certainly felt the fight just now. Although they could neither see it nor dare to look at it, the sound of the fight and the shaking of the ship's hull were not deceptive.

After a while, when the ship was about to sink completely and could no longer carry people, the captain couldn't help but waved his hand and said:

"Lifeboat! Go and lower the lifeboat, quickly!"

In this seemingly endless ocean, there have been many mysterious legends since ancient times.

Even though as time advances, many legends and stories are no longer awe-inspiring, but as long as bizarre events still occur in the ocean, various rumors will always become the legends of a new generation.

Of course, when the crew and captain who survived the ship went to the bar they frequented to brag about their experience, they did not know that the huge black shadow they had seen at that time was already in the same boat as them.

Arrived. (To be continued)
