Tales Of The World Devouring Serpent

On the wide sea, a 10,000-ton ship is breaking through the waves, surrounded by seagulls constantly flying, making bursts of "Ouou" sounds.

This is the whaling ship Sea Island Maru, because this whaling ship is very large, like an island, so it is named after it.

As a whaling mother ship, Kaijima Maru is not equipped with other whaling sub-ships, because it has a whaling cannon at the bow, which can kill whales by itself.

This large ship has been at sea for half a month, and along the way, it has caught a lot of whales, and those whales have been stripped of oil and dismembered, and made into whale oil and whale meat products.

On the deck, many crew members leaned on the railing to look into the distance, and some people were counting the seagulls flying overhead.

Masaichi Yoshida is one of those seagulls, and he has now counted 45 seagulls.

But at this moment, a gust of sea breeze blew from the opposite side, which made his eyes blink several times at once. After that, he couldn't tell which of the seagulls in the sky were counted by himself.

Seeing this, he had no choice but to spread out his hands, then took a glass of orange juice that he had placed beside him, and took a sip.

"Zhengyi, how is it, are you still used to it?"

At this time, a hearty voice sounded from the side of Yoshida Masaichi, and then a middle-aged man who was older than him came over.

"Senior Noda."

Masaichi Yoshida looked respectful. The sailor in front of him was an old acquaintance of his father. The reason why he was able to become a crew member on the Sea Island Maru was also recommended by this senior Noda.

"Thanks to you, I feel all right."

Taro Noda, who came across, smiled and said, "Many people didn't do well when they first got on the boat, but you are very good."

"It seems that you are a natural sailor."

After a word of encouragement, Taro Noda walked to Masaichi Yoshida's side, leaned on the side of the boat, and said to the latter, "Have you been out for half a month, do you feel homesick?"

"Your father said you just married your wife not long ago."

Hearing Noda Taro talking about this, Yoshida took a look into the distance, took another breath, and said with a smile, "A little bit, but I think I can persevere."

Noda Taro patted him on the shoulder and said: "This time we have a good harvest. After returning to the port, we crew members will get a lot of money."

"Going to sea is very hard, but if you are lucky, you will make a lot of money."

Hearing this, Masaichi Yoshida's expression was also cheered up. Isn't the reason why he chose to go to sea to make money to support his family?

Otherwise, who would want to leave their new wife alone at home?

"Hahaha, Zhengyi, in half a month, our ship is expected to return. Maybe you will see your wife waiting for you at the port with a bouquet of flowers."

Masaichi Yoshida imagined the scene in his mind, and thought it was beautiful, and a look of longing appeared on his face.

"Big fish! Big fish!"

At this time, there was a sudden burst of excited shouting from the observation deck.

Taro Noda and Masaichi Yoshida immediately turned their eyes to the watchtower after hearing this voice, only to see a crew member standing in front of the telescope, shouting excitedly.

"Zhengyi, get ready, it seems we have another goal."

Noda Taro was also a little excited. The more whales they caught, the more they would earn.

"Full speed ahead!"

At this time, a wealthy man suddenly shouted with a loudspeaker, watching what he was wearing, he was the captain of this whaling ship.

Masaichi Yoshida took his eyes away from the captain, and then looked in front of them, only to see that in front of them, there were two black shadows swimming forward.

From time to time, from the backs of these two shadows, there is a mist of water spraying out.

"Two whales!"

Yoshida waved his fist,

Appears very excited.

Not only him, but the other crew members also cheered at this time. As they got closer to the target, the two shadows on the opposite side fell into their field of vision more and more clearly.

These are two big fish.

One of them is extremely huge, over 15 meters in size, while the other is only about 5 meters, a small whale, but even so, it looks very deterrent.

"It's a humpback whale."

Noda Taro is indeed an experienced seaman, but he just glanced over there and recognized the identities of the two whales.

At this point, they were about 100 meters away from the two whales in front of them. The two whales were obviously suffocated on the bottom of the sea, so they couldn't sink into the sea for a while.

They need to get enough fresh air.

"Gunner ready!"

The captain on the deck was holding a small yellow flag at the moment and shouted loudly. At the same time, at the battery not far from him, a crew member was aiming the launcher at the opposite. A larger humpback whale.

Today's whaling boats have been updated, and they don't have to drive small boats to chase those whales, and then shovel spears into their flesh.

Now it's all shot with whaling cannons.

However, the range of the whaling guns is generally only 30 meters to 60 meters, so they must continue to approach the two humpback whales in front.

It's getting closer, it's getting closer, it's getting closer.

It can only be seen that at this time, they are only 50 meters away from the two humpback whales in front. The crew on the other side of the fort is ready to fire the whaling cannon.

"emission!"

At this time, the captain not far from the side suddenly roared, and the gunner directly fired the whaling cannon.

With a "whoosh" sound, the whaling cannon suddenly crossed a distance of nearly 50 meters, and immediately plunged into the larger humpback whale.

With a "bang", the whaling cannon plunged into the flesh and blood of the humpback whale, and a thick stream of blood spurted out from the wound, dyeing a large area of ​​the sea red at once.

"Wow!"

From the mouth of this humpback whale, there was a shrill whale call, its brain was severely damaged, it could no longer swim forward, and its body had a tendency to sink.

The small humpback whale beside him did not escape at the moment, but surrounded the big humpback whale, using his own head to move the big humpback whale, not letting the It flips over.

From the mouth of this small humpback whale, there were also bursts of whale calls, which seemed extremely sad.

However, on the Sea Island Maru on the opposite side, there was a scene of joy and encouragement.

"it is good!!"

When everyone saw the gunner hit a shot, they all shouted excitedly, including Masaichi Yoshida and Taro Noda.
