Chapter 1991 Angry Whale

Expand the world nautical chart of Vales, first find the Meteorite Ocean, and then find the Siwa Islands near the Tropic of Cancer. Among them, the island located near 21° north latitude and 82° west longitude is the expedition ship of the "Coral" expedition. The final destination - Galti Island.

Galti Island covers an area of ​​about 20,000 square miles. There are many volcanic hot springs on the island, dense forests, monsters are rampant, and there are many undead in the north. It is recognized as the most dangerous area in the waters of the Siwa Islands. Not to mention that merchant ships avoid the island. Fear not, even the professional expedition team regards Galti Island as the most challenging "virgin land".

In the past two centuries, the expedition team that landed on Galti Island numbered at least a hundred, and less than one-tenth of them survived, and none of them went deep into the hinterland of Galti Island. They encountered monsters or undead attacks on the way, and paid a heavy price. After the casualties, he had to flee back in despair, and the information he brought back was pitiful and not of much reference value.

Such a high casualty rate, coupled with the fact that rare mineral deposits such as gold, silver, and magic crystals have not been found on the island so far, compared to the high price, the prospect of income is disappointing. Professional explorers even self-deprecatingly refer to the island as the "Explorer's Graveyard".

Two days after the bombing and sinking of the "Narwhal", on the afternoon of December 15th, the expedition ship "Coral" finally approached the waters where Galti Island is located. Joan stood at the window of the compass room and looked out. See the winding coastline of the northern part of Galti Island.

Joan held the "navigation compass" in his hand, showing a three-dimensional picture within 30 miles around.

Most of the expedition ships that tried to visit Galti Island ran aground and sank in this treacherous sea without even landing.

Eighteen years ago, Francis Messinger and Am Froddy betrayed the captain Aaron Green and escaped from Galti Island alone by sailing the "Herlinghorn" into this sea area on purpose. Pretending to be on a rock and sinking, to cover up the truth of the crime.

Since yesterday morning, Joan has used the improved version of "Flying Insects and Beasts" to summon the fish school, just like controlling the bird school as usual, controlling the fish school to search on the continental shelf full of dark reefs, trying to find the fish that sank here 18 years ago. The wreck of the expedition ship Herlinghorn.

However, he had searched the surrounding area for tens of miles, and found quite a few sunken ships, but none of them matched the characteristics of the "Herlinghorn".

When Hailar and the Zion siblings learned of this result, they all tended to think that the "Herlinghorn" was no longer on the bottom of the sea, but under the influence of some unknown supernatural power, it became the ship that appeared in front of everyone twice before. The "ghost ship".

Joan still has doubts about this conclusion, but after two consecutive days of searching, he has not found any results, and he is somewhat disheartened. In addition, the expedition ship "Coral" is already approaching the hidden reef, so he has no extra energy Focusing on manipulating fish schools, he had to give up searching for sunken ships and instead use the "navigation compass" to survey hidden reefs in the sea, providing the helmsman with more accurate navigation routes than paper nautical charts.

The expedition ship is like a dexterous big fish, zigzagging through the seemingly peaceful sea. According to the current progress, Joan predicts that it will be able to dock and drop anchor before the sun sets today.

At this time, a strange shadow suddenly floated in the underwater scene presented by the "navigation compass".

At first, Joan thought it was the shadow cast by the sun being blocked by dark clouds. Looking up, the sun was hanging brightly in the middle of the blue sky. How could there be any dark clouds?

Qiao An was stunned for a moment, and quickly looked down at the "Navigation Compass". There was indeed a spindle-shaped shadow approaching the "Coral" from the rear at a very high speed. The diving depth was about 70 yards, and the outline was like a whale. When converted in proportion, It is about a hundred feet long from beginning to end, and is even bigger than the "Coral"!

"Mr. Captain, there is a whale following our expedition ship!" Joan quickly warned.

Captain Odysseus, who was steering the wheel himself, turned his head and asked in surprise, "Dr. Vader, are you sure it's a whale?"

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be an adult blue whale. Other types of whales usually don't have such a large size." Joan stared at the navigation compass with a very serious expression on his face.

"Blue whale? This is even more strange!" Captain Odysseus took off his three-cornered hat and scratched his head in confusion, "It stands to reason that this kind of giant whale usually doesn't swim in shallow waters densely covered with reefs, it chases us What does your boat want?"

Before the captain finished speaking, Joan suddenly changed his face and shouted eagerly: "Be careful-the giant whale is coming!"

boom!

The expedition ship was violently hit by the head of the giant whale that was diving at a high speed, the tail raised waves, and it lifted up from the sea, while the bow tilted down, almost plunged into the sea!

Captain Odysseus was caught off guard, and the moment the expedition ship was hit, he flew out, hit the cabin partition, and blood flowed down his forehead.

Joan grabbed the handrail in time, and was not overturned by the violent bumps, but he also felt his stomach churn and almost vomited.

Suppressing the dizziness, Joan rushed to the rudder of the ship and tried his best to hold the steering wheel. With great difficulty, the "Coral" was stabilized. The bow of the tilted ship slowly floated up, and the hull regained its balance.

However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the giant whale crashed again. This time the impact was more violent than before. Joan grabbed the steering wheel with both hands, and his body was thrown into the air. With the steering wheel spinning out of control, he was thrown heavily on the ground. On the deck, his eyes went dark and he temporarily lost consciousness.

A loud noise suddenly came from his ear, waking Joan from a brief coma, and stood up with difficulty. He found that the expedition ship was spinning in situ while slowly tilting to the left.

"Dr. Vader, we are in big trouble!" Mr. Captain said with blood streaming down his face, his voice was bitter, "Did you hear the sound of the collision? The left side of the bow hit a rock, and our ship might not be able to survive."

Taking a deep breath, Joan tried to remain calm, and said to Captain Odysseus: "Call the crew to gather on the deck, and repair the ship if it can be repaired. Shelter on the beach of Alti Island."

"Okay, Dr. Vader, we are really lucky to have you on board!" Captain Odysseus thanked from the bottom of his heart.

Joan rubbed his swollen forehead and ran up the deck quickly. Seeing that Audrey, Holden, and Hyrule were all safe and sound, his long-suspended heart finally fell into his stomach.

"Joan! Come here!" Hailar took his hand, ran to the stern quickly, pointed at the waves on the sea and shouted: "Look! The tail of the whale! It was that stupid blue whale just now. Hit our expedition ship twice!"
