C2625 Strange Things Happen(3)
Then she turned and pointed to the deck in front of her.
"Look, this deck is so clean. Does it look like it was blown by a strong wind last night?"
When everyone heard this, they all looked over and nodded. Indeed, the deck was very clean, and it didn't look like it had been blown by a strong wind last night! Even the snack bags and melon seeds that Faang Cheng and the others had yet to clean up after eating last night were still on the table!
"This... What exactly is going on?"
The entire situation was extremely strange, causing Captain Han to panic.
"Last night... did you all hear a rustling sound?"
Yuan Yue suddenly opened her mouth.
"I heard it!"
Xiao Fei immediately replied.
"It's fine if you don't mention it, but now that I mention this voice, I feel that... it really does sound like something is being chewed!"
Hearing Xiao Fei's words, the memories of the others also began to revive!
None of them had paid any particular attention to the small voice they had heard in the middle of the night, but now they connected it with the presentiment of disappearance.
"Could it be that... something went up to the deck last night and ate all the dried fish?"
Yuan Yue thought of the most likely possibility, and then said it nervously!
When she said this, everyone present couldn't help but shiver! Not because they were afraid, but because they suddenly heard the setting Yuan Yue was talking about, and when they thought of the sound they had heard last night, and imagined what might have happened, they all felt a chill run down their spines.
"What... what is it?"
Shu Qing asked nervously!
Everyone was silent. Who knew how many creatures they had never seen in this vast ocean!
"Captain Han, this sea... Was there ever a rumor? For example, what kind of monster or demon beast is in this sea?"
Faang Cheng turned around and asked Captain Han.
"This..."
Hearing Faang Cheng's question, Captain Han narrowed his eyes and tried to recall.
"Actually, there are more or less rumors about sea monsters in every part of the ocean. Legends about sea monsters, sea monsters overturning fishing boats, eating fishermen, and so on! There have also been such rumors in this part of the sea! But it was all hearsay, and the people who told it had never seen the sea monsters or the sea monsters they spoke of, and the ones who had actually seen them... they would never be able to tell anyone what they had experienced! So... I'm not sure if there are any sea monsters or sea monsters in this area!"
Captain Han said with a bit of confusion.
While Faang Cheng and the others were discussing the whereabouts of the dried fish, Little Four walked around the deck and carefully examined everything on the deck, including the stones in the corner! Then... he stopped in front of a large wooden barrel.
That wooden barrel contained the big fish that Lee Zhaowen had caught in the fishing competition yesterday. At this moment, the big fish seemed to be even bigger than yesterday. It was already a little crowded in this huge wooden barrel! The purple and red color on his body became brighter and brighter. His two big fish eyes were staring at Little Four who was looking at him. His eyes... seemed to contain some kind of meaning!
Little Four looked at the big fish in front of him and couldn't help but frown. He reached out to touch the big fish, but his fingers were cut by the razor-like scales on its body, and a few drops of blood fell into the water in the bucket! The big fish seemed to be excited and began to jump in the barrel.
Little Four watched as the big fish seemed to swallow the water that was mixed with his own blood. After that, it became quiet again. It hid at the bottom of the barrel and stared at him silently!
The moment the big fish swam up excitedly, Little Four saw something at the bottom of the barrel! It was the scales of a fish, shining brightly in the water. Obviously... those scales were different from the scales of the big fish itself. Those were the scales of other fish!
Little Four's eyes instantly widened. He seemed to have discovered a new continent, but he also felt that the big fish in front of him was a bit strange, so he couldn't help but take two steps back.
"Big Brother Faang, I... I think I found that 'thief'!"2
He could not help but shout!
The few people who were still discussing the whereabouts of the dried fish heard Little Four's voice and could not help but stop their conversation. Then, they turned around and looked in the direction of the voice! They saw Little Four standing in front of the big wooden barrel, staring at it with burning eyes!
"Isn't that the big fish I caught yesterday? Is there a problem?"
When Lee Zhaowen heard Little Four's words, he could not help but take a few steps forward and look into the barrel!
"Damn, did it... grow so much overnight?"
Lee Zhaowen was also shocked when he saw the big fish he had caught.
"Did it eat some kind of fertilizer? How did it grow ..."
At this point, Lee Zhaowen suddenly realized what Little Four's words meant, and could not help but look at Little Four in surprise.
"You mean... The reason why it grew so big overnight is because the dried fish was eaten by it?"
Lee Zhaowen could not believe it.
"Not only that, I just saw that there are a lot of fish scales at the bottom of the barrel, not from this big fish, but... from other fish!"
Little Four said softly. Although he had seen those fish scales with his own eyes, his tone was still full of uncertainty!
"Fish scales?"
When Lee Zhaowen heard this, he could not help but stretch his neck forward and look into the barrel. Unfortunately, the big fish was too big, and its body covered the bottom of the barrel so tightly that it could not be seen at all!
"I can't see it! This fish is too big! "
Lee Zhaowen muttered as he kicked the barrel, trying to move the big fish so that he could see if there were any fish scales at the bottom of the barrel that Little Four was talking about! But the big fish was too lazy to move, it didn't even move at all!
Little Four saw this and stepped forward. He put his finger that was cut by the fish's scales on top of the barrel and squeezed a drop of blood into the barrel! As expected, the big fish suddenly moved. It raised its head and opened its mouth, swallowing the part of the water that was stained with blood into its stomach!
"Do you see that?"
Little Four asked!
"I see it!"
With Lee Zhaowen's eyesight, of course he saw the fish scales at the bottom of the barrel. Indeed, there were different sizes and shapes of those scales. They were definitely not the fish's own scales, but the scales of all kinds of other fish!
