That night, Renault, who lives on the island of three claws, was awakened by the whistling of magic air guns. In addition, he heard some panic calls.
“…… Tentacles Be careful... "
“…… They I seldom go ashore... "
Renault pushed open the wooden door of the temporary wooden house, went to the open space in the camp, looked up in the direction of the sound, but he only saw the dark night.
He quickly turned many thoughts in his mind.
Is it the natives who are robbing the sailboats?
It''s impossible. The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled are all dead. They can''t even step on the deck.
besides, the salty fish dinner in the evening has proved one thing. That is to follow the old gentleman. I can make a lot of meat. I can only starve to death by 20% people on woodlouse alone. Woodlouse is stupid enough to do so.
Or is it a sea monster attack?
Very likely.
However, there should be no big problem with Gollum in the fleet and mousse in the wharf.
The team members who were resting in the camp went out of the wooden house one after another, and the wide camp became lively. Renault pulled a passing team member and gave a task:
"go and ask the indigenous people of Sanzhao Island, what''s the matter?"
The team members bowed to salute and left the camp in a hurry.
More than ten minutes later, the team returned to the camp with Samson, the surrendered pirate leader.
"Lord, I think it''s likely that the ghost claws climbed onto the dock..."
In the face of the inquiry, Samson said his guess.
When Renault heard the word "ghost claw monster", he immediately thought of the name of this nameless archipelago - Ghost claw archipelago.
kick up a cloud of dust or fish. At first, he thought pirates were named by the islands as ghosts or ghosts. Now, these woodlouse pirates are not so smart.
Renault glanced at Samson with a dignified face and asked curiously:
"can you tell me more about the ghost claw?"
Samson, with a flattering smile on his face, respectfully said:
"Lord, it''s like this. The ghost claw monster is one of the most frightening sea monsters in the ghost claw Islands..."
After listening to Samson''s explanation, Renault roughly figured out what the ghost claw monster was.
In short, they are alien starfish!
Ghost claw monster is a kind of sea monster that makes fishermen afraid. They generally have tentacles as long as 10 meters, which can easily entangle the fishing boat and drag the fishermen into the water. In this area, there are at least 6 or 7 fishermen missing every year, and more than 10 fishermen are missing.
When the storm season comes, like most sea fish, they will retreat to the deep sea area. Only when the sea surface is calm, will they follow the fish to return to the shallow water area.
At this time, it is the month of Zhonghua. According to experience, the ghost claw group has returned to the ghost claw islands. That''s why Samson guessed that this kind of sea monster might appear at the wharf.
Ghost claw monster is not only a kind of sea monster, but also a general name of several different sea objects.
Most ghost claws have 3-4 tentacles. They are called three claws or four claws. The island where pirates live, that is, three claws Island, is named after three claws.
Many years ago, when the first pirate ship arrived at the island and sailed around the island in search of fresh water, it happened to see a three clawed monster preying on sea fish, so it named the Island three clawed island.
There are many five clawed monsters with five tentacles. They are bigger than three clawed monsters and four clawed monsters. Their tentacles are no less than 15 meters long, so they are more dangerous.
Ghost claw monsters with more than five tentacles are very rare. Over the years, fishermen on the island have only witnessed them a few times, and they only peep from a distance. They only see the huge shadow under the water and the huge tentacles stretching out of the sea. Even the specific number of tentacles can not be determined.
According to the widely spread rumors on Sanzhao Island, these super big guys are more than 100 meters in size. When they swim in the sea, pangran''s body will stir up huge waves. It''s absolutely a terrible monster.
This kind of boasting of the ignorant and stupid people means something else in Renoir.
What''s so special about this is the "waves aroused by the body". It''s clear that it''s the huge waves created by using the extraordinary power of the water system. After he had been with some extraordinary water monsters, he was too familiar with this move.
In other words, a ghostly Talon with six or more tentacles is 90% likely to be an extraordinary sea monster.
Because of their size, they are bound to live in the deep sea, and hardly appear in the ghost claw islands where the water depth is not enough. Therefore, fishermen rarely see them. The only glimpse is that these big guys must have surfaced in the process of chasing their prey. Otherwise, why do they have nothing to do with raising huge waves?
It is precisely because of the existence of the ghost claw monster that the civilians on Sanzhao island are so miserable. The distant sea areas dare not go fishing, and the coastal areas also face the competition of the ghost claw monster. It is really difficult to make a living by fishing, and there are often life-threatening.This has also created a funny and sad fact that woodlouse lives on islands, and there is not much chance of eating fish. They want to open their belly to eat fish, not to mention doors, even windows.
In the salted fish dinner last night, almost every civilian tried his best to eat haisai. They queued up again and again to add food. They all looked like starving ghosts.
Later, even the sailors were afraid, for fear that they would survive. Even Renault was shocked. In addition to being funny, he set a more ridiculous rule: before adding vegetables, any civilian must let the sailors have a look at his belly. If his belly bulges, it is strictly forbidden to add vegetables.
However, the ghost claw monster that makes fishermen tremble makes Renault''s heart beat.
All the sea monsters are good comrades. Apart from giving experience and magic crystal, all parts of his body can be used for cooking. That is to say, Renault can barely maintain his life by relying on the selfless dedication of the sea monsters.
So, he loves sea monsters.
At this time, a new variety of seafood appeared. How could he bear to eat?
So Renault roared:
"lanster, get in line immediately. Except for the people who stay at the camp, all the others go to the wharf. We''ll catch some ghost claws and come back for supper..."
With this remark, all the members of the island protection team were shocked, and their morale exploded instantly.
Samson next to him had a look of horror.
Then, in the roar of lanster, a long line of dozens of torches left the camp and headed for the location of the dock.
Ten minutes later, the team arrived at the dock.
By this time, the fire around the dock had become very bright. Muse turned into an arsonist and set many shrubs around him on fire. The whole dock was as bright as day.
In the middle of the open space on one side of the wharf, next to several large wooden boxes filled with dried salted fish, a half body charred body lay motionless in the open space.
Renault saw three tentacles 10 meters long at a glance.
Sure enough, it''s a three clawed monster.
Its body is flat, the upper side of the body surface is black gray, covered with scales half the size of a palm, there are many short and dense thorns on the scales, the lower side of the body is pure white, completely different from the upper side, there are a lot of suction cups, each suction cup is also surrounded by a circle of small tentacles, it looks a little disgusting.
This three clawed monster apparently died of the extraordinary fire of muse. The scorch marks on its body and the faint meat smell in the air have fully proved this.
There is another thing that makes Renault feel a little embarrassed, that is, one of the tentacles of the three clawed monster is actually right on those big wooden boxes.
Obviously, this guy was still thinking about the dried salted fish in the box until he died. The
seaman kept the boxes of salted fish dry here, preparing to stay for woodlouse breakfast on the island tomorrow, but unexpectedly brought the casual visitor.
