The Undead Empire That Travels Through the Multiverse
Chapter 52: Nine Sea Monsters
The so-called harpoon is a special harpoon used when hunting whales.
The barbed head can penetrate the whale's body and hold firmly, while the rope tied to the tail is connected to the boat, so that the whale cannot dive down to the bottom of the sea to escape the whaling ship.
Usually, a whale that has been harpooned will swim quickly and try to dive, dragging a whaling ship or small boat to move quickly on the sea surface.
However, the whale's own diving ability cannot drag the small boat or whaling ship on the sea surface to the bottom of the sea. Therefore, after exhausting its physical strength by swimming quickly, the whale will surface to take a breath.
At this time, whalers will swarm up and hang the whales that have lost their resistance to the whaling ship for slaughter in order to obtain precious blubber, baleen and whale brain. As for the less valuable meat and bones, except Most are thrown back into the sea, except for some that are left to be eaten.
In early whaling activities, the harpoon was thrown by the whaler with his bare hands, so most whalers were strong men with amazing arm strength.
After all, it is not something ordinary people can do to throw a heavy harpoon dozens of meters away.
But this obviously cannot meet the needs of high-efficiency whaling, so the whaling cannon was developed.
This is a whaling tool that uses an explosion to propel a whaling harpoon. The efficiency of whaling is much higher than that of throwing a harpoon with bare hands, and it does not have such high requirements on the physical fitness of the crew.
In particular, gunpowder-propelled harpoons fly much faster than manpower throws, and can hit whales more accurately.
In addition, the range of the whaling cannon is far longer than that of human throwing, and the whalers do not need to risk their lives to approach the whale before throwing the harpoon, so this kind of whaling cannon quickly became popular.
After the steamship was invented, it evolved into a steam-driven pneumatic harpoon, which was more powerful and more effective.
However, these are obviously only tools used to hunt whales. Compared with the large harpoon like the Tsar Cannon on the bow of the Royal Bliss, it is the difference between a toothpick and a battering ram.
When Bartholomew was still galloping on the sea, this harpoon was specially used for him to catch prey. As long as he hit an enemy ship, he could use the huge harpoon to fix the enemy ship and then drag it towards Own.
Bartholomew has done this kind of thing many times, and every time he uses this harpoon, it means that another prey has been caught by him.
This time, he believed it would be no exception.
"Bang!" The huge whaling cannon made a sound like thunder, and driven by the explosion, the huge three-edged harpoon flew out of the gun bore and slammed towards the Bloodsail.
The huge harpoon has a triangular cone, full of inverted teeth and three tail hooks that can be opened. It is conceivable that once it hits, it is difficult for any ship to escape unless it can tear the hull apart. The lock of a gigantic harpoon.
However, to Chen Mo, this harpoon only looked handsome and ferocious, but it actually couldn't pose any threat to the Bloodsail.
A shield appeared out of thin air, directly blocking the huge harpoon, covering the Bloodsail like a sky curtain, preventing the harpoon from hitting the hull of the Bloodsail.
However, I have to say that this is indeed Basalomew's trump card. Even the shield of the Bloodsail was almost collapsed at this blow. One can imagine how powerful this huge whaling cannon is.
"It's very strong! It's really good. It seems that I have to show something real." Chen Mo came to the rudder of the Blood Sail and rang the navigation bell hanging beside it.
The crisp bell rang throughout the sea, it sounded like it was ringing in everyone's ears, and along with the bell, there were songs echoing on the sea, and the Blood Sail also rose as the bell rang. Suddenly stopped.
It's just that this time there was no mist rising from the surface of the sea, but under the hull of the Blood Sail, the sea water began to churn continuously, as if something big was about to rise from the sea.
"What is he doing?" Barbossa wondered as he noticed all this through the binoculars.
The Blood Sail clearly has the advantage, as long as it keeps ahead of the Royal Bliss, it will be able to smash the Royal Bliss bit by bit by virtue of its speed advantage.
But Chen Mo stopped suddenly. It was like a race between the tortoise and the hare, and the rabbit suddenly started to sleep, completely giving up his advantage.
At this time, a huge shadow suddenly appeared under the hull of the Blood Sail.
If one could look down from the mast of the Bloodsail, one could clearly see a huge black figure stretching its huge body under the sea.
When the Blood Sail stopped, the Royal Bliss would naturally not let go of this opportunity. While recovering the huge harpoon, it turned sideways and bombarded the Blood Sail with a large number of naval guns.
However, the Bloodsail remained motionless in place, allowing the shells to continuously fall around it, splashing a lot of waves.
Occasionally, a few shells were lucky enough to hit the Bloodsail, but they were all bounced off under the action of a layer of red light covering the hull, just like the harpoon was bounced off just now.
However, the Bloodsail wasn't really being passively beaten. These bombardments seemed to have angered the shadow under the sea, and the speed at which it stretched its body was significantly accelerated.
A tentacled black shadow directly smashed through the surface of the sea and stretched out from below.
It was a huge head, just this head was as big as half a black pearl, and behind this head was a slender neck.
This head has the shape of a snake's head, and the neck is covered with thick scales. On the top of the snake's head, there are four sharp horns growing backwards, which looks a bit like a dragon.
And with the rise of this head, the other eight heads of this huge monster also stretched out from under the sea surface one after another, surrounding the Blood Sail, all letting out a sky-shattering roar.
"This is... Hydera?" Everyone on the Black Pearl was completely stunned.
Everyone has seen Davy Jones's Kraken, which is already an amazing sea monster, but no one thought that Chen Mo would call out something so much more terrifying than Kraken.
Jack Sparrow, who had seen Kraken, couldn't help but compare the two, and found that Kraken might only be as big as one of the heads of the nine-headed sea monster in front of him.
And after this huge sea monster stuck its nine heads out of the sea and let out a roar, it all looked at the Royal Bliss.
Then, nine huge snake heads slammed into the Royal Bliss, as if nine long whips had been whipped!
