"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom"

Early in the morning, before Lance woke up, he heard a series of loud noises outside.

Is this the fuck an earthquake

The loud noise caused vibrations, even if Lance was still lying on his stomach in the cabin, he felt his bed frame shaking.

[日你&%… #!]

The irritable old man outside, the hermit crab, openly scolded in the chat group,

[Why is Sha Diao going mad again?]

In the chat group, a gentle elder voice immediately said seriously:

[What are you talking about, pay attention to your words, there are children in our group.]

As if to verify the words of the parents, the young voice followed closely:

[What's wrong? What's wrong?]

The hermit crab grunted a few times inside, and then complained angrily:

[The dead octopus is knocking on those iron guys again, knock knock knock, knock you numb—]

[Hermit crab!]

[… sorry.]

Lance peeked at the screen and thought it was fun. He swam out to the hermit crab's boat and asked:

[How is this going?]

The hermit crab recovered from the chat group, and the loud noise made the hermit crab look a little listless, and the vicissitudes of life were in the two peas:

[What else can happen, that big octopus is going crazy.]

The huge steel knocking sound was used as the background sound. After listening to the hermit crab's intermittent complaints, Lance summed up the whole thing—

Sunset Bay has an owner, and that owner is the "octopus" that is making noise now.

Hermit crabs are just neighbors who came later.

According to Hermit Crab, the bay didn't start out like this.

Although this area used to be a frequent site for ship accidents, there will never be so many shipwrecks.

The main reason is still on that octopus.

From the perspective of the hermit crab, that octopus is a fool.

The octopus is a collector, and its collector is a shipwreck.

Although these shipwrecks provided shelter for the hermit crab, the hermit crab was really grateful, but what it couldn't understand was that the octopus would come here every once in a while to make noise—

[What do you think it wants to do?]

The hermit crab complained, [If I can't beat it, I will definitely kill it!]

[Have you seen that octopus? You can tell it about your dissatisfaction.]

Lance said curiously.

[No time, no time, too lazy to see that silly x.]

The hermit crab responded impatiently.

Lance: […]

He knew he couldn't persuade him anymore, so he focused on the "noise", followed the "noise", and nodded rhythmically.

[Day, are you crazy too? ... Forget it, I don't want to get involved.]

The hermit crab expressed that it could not accept it. It waved its pincers angrily and buried itself in the sunken ship, trying to use the skin of the sunken ship to block the noise outside for a while.

"Why do I feel like it's beating a drum?"

Lance found that this thing really has a rhythm, basically a one-two-one beat. When it comes to the climax, the sound of the percussion will obviously change its tone, and it seems that it is struck by something else.

"Forget it, that's not the point."

Lance had a bitter face and didn't take this strange phenomenon to heart. After all, the most important thing now was to find his cruise ship "Queen Mary".

Finding a ship in this pile of scrap iron is really looking for a needle in a haystack.

Lance sighed sadly.

Then, Lance buried his head in the pile of scrap metal and continued to search.

After searching for an indeterminate amount of time, Lance passed by the sunken ships and carefully identified the writing on them. He felt dizzy when he saw them. Only then did he realize that some of the sunken ships were completely obscured by the rust stains. He wanted to identify some of them. A ship is basically a fantasy.

Now, Lance didn't know what he was looking for. He was in a pile of lifeless iron bumps, as if he was looking for a boat, and he seemed to be looking for his past as a human being.

Should he keep looking

Lance was suspended in the sea water with a dazed expression. He flicked the tail of the fish and looked at the iron lumps below in a daze.

The noise in the ear has stopped, and the sea has returned to its previous calm.

Grumpy Hermit Crab has no group chat anymore.

So, in the sea, it seemed that Lance was really the only one left.

Lance regained his composure, pulled himself together, and swam to the last area he hadn't explored. He decided that if he didn't find it in the end, he would stop looking and go back to the deep sea to find Wenser.

After making up his mind, Lance didn't have much energy to look for a boat anymore. He swam leisurely into the last area, turned around in it, and took a rough look at it. He didn't find a sunken ship that matched the appearance of the cruise ship in his memory. He was about to leave, then turned around—

Lance froze.

He and a large bunch of sea monsters looked at each other.

The reason why it is called "a big lump" is because Lance really doesn't know what this sea monster should belong to.

The sea monsters I have encountered before, such as jellyfish and hermit crabs, are very recognizable, but they are enlarged versions of ordinary species, and the prototype can be seen more or less.

However, after looking at the "big lump" in front of him for a long time, Lance really couldn't figure out what it was—

That big lump looks like an octopus, but it looks like a squid.

Squids have ten arms and octopuses eight.

But the big lump in front of it has eighteen tentacles, one tentacle is holding a big iron rod, and two beady eyes are aiming at Lance.

Lance: "..."

He glanced at the "big lump" in front of him, then glanced at the big iron rod in its hand, and couldn't help swallowing.

It couldn't be, it came to beat him with a big iron rod, right

[Ah ah ah—]

The tentacles of the "big lump" began to shake, and the big iron rod in his hand danced wildly. At the same time, it began to change color crazily, and began to flash like a neon light, red, blue, green, white,

[Fuck, there is someone here! ! !]

Lance was also frightened and began to tweet:

[Ah-]

Without further ado, that "big lump" started poking at Lance with an iron rod.

Lance was almost scared to pee, he flicked his tail and started to run away.

[Humans, why are there humans?]

The voice of "a big lump" was sharp and mean. On the one hand, Lance felt it was familiar, but on the other hand, he was so scared that he didn't care about anything, and started to turn around, shuttling around in this pile of scrap iron, trying to get rid of this "lunatic" quickly.

"Boom"

The steel bars hit the scrap iron of the sunken ship, making a unique sound of metal collision.

Lance hid a few times. He didn't want to do nothing, but was directly skewered by a squid or octopus. He was so scared that he didn't choose his way, and was forced into a cabin by steel bars.

[come out!]

That "big blob" is obviously crazy. It can't tell what is a human and what is a mermaid, so it directly vents its anger on Lance, directly pierces the cabin with an iron rod, and wants to kill the boat and Lance together .

Lance dodged a few times, dodging the iron rods strung in, he pressed tightly against the cabin floor, trembling with fright:

"yi—"

He was so scared for the first time, and started calling Winsor's name in fear.

[Damn it, come out!]

"Da Tuo" failed to poke it several times, but the iron rod bent instead. It was so angry that it dropped the iron rod and stretched its tentacles into the cabin.

[Come out for me.]

A few tentacles crawled in tremblingly, trying to touch Lance in the cabin.

Lance looked at the tentacles crawling on the floor, and he froze for a moment.

He found that this tentacle seemed rather stupid.

They are also tentacles, but the tentacles inside the coral bones are different in size, and there seem to be eyes at the end, which can "see" things, but when the tentacles come in, they are completely blind.

Thinking of this, Lance stopped shaking.

With the blessing of the mermaid's dynamic vision, Lance could see the movement track of the tentacles that crawled in very clearly.

After thinking for a while, Lance tiptoed up, took a deep breath, and stared at the tentacles tightly.

The tentacle didn't feel anything, it continued to crawl into the cabin, getting deeper and deeper.

When the tentacle was a few meters away from Lance, Lance rushed over, grabbed a tiny tentacle, and then used the pillars in the cabin to circle a few times, successfully tying the tentacle into a knot.

After doing all this, Lance quickly got out through the broken small window while the tentacles were stretched and before he could react.

Everything after that was exactly as Lance expected—

The "big lump" saw Lance come out, it stayed for a few seconds, and then became furious, trying to pull the tentacles out of the cabin.

But it didn't expect that its tentacles were tied in a knot. It twitched a few times, but it didn't twitch, but was dragged by the boat.

"A big lump" is dull, really dull.

The color of the body has not changed.

The neon lights went out.

There's just one thing Lance doesn't notice—

There was broken glass on the edge of the window frame, and when his fishtail brushed past it, it scratched it.

Red blood spilled out from the wound on the fish's tail and disappeared into the sea water.

Lance felt the pain, he stretched out his hand and covered the wound there.

The white caudal fin also began to congest with blood, adding a ray of red to the entire flowing gauze-like caudal fin, which was particularly eye-catching.

"Unlucky."

Lance muttered something, and he looked back at the "big lump" over there.

He thought about it carefully, and finally figured out who that thing was:

Isn't this the "dead squid" in the mouth of the jellyfish

Listening to the harsh voice of the "dead squid" and its hostile attitude towards humans, Lance became more and more sure that it was the "dead squid" that the jellyfish said.

However, the sea monster in front of him is obviously not a "squid".

And hermit crabs call it "octopus".

The strange sea monster in front of him has the characteristics of both "squid" and "octopus".

Lance decided to call it the "black chapter monster".

The squid monster is obviously a combination of squid and octopus.

It has a shell on its body, but it is obviously smarter and more brainy than a squid, and it is more inclined to an octopus.

The Wuzhang monster struggled a few times, and when it realized that it was useless, it roared, tore off all the tentacles stuffed into the cabin, and then attacked Lance desperately.

Lance turned pale and started to run away again.

[I want to eat you! ! !]

The Wuzhang monster laughed strangely behind him, sixteen tentacles were flying all over the sky,

[Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole~~]

Lance didn't care what the black chapter monster was singing, he swam faster and faster, but he forgot that this was a shipwreck pile.

All kinds of steel bulges on the sunken ships. Lance made a sharp turn and didn't notice the mast in front. By the time he realized it, the inertia had made him unable to stop.

Lance saw the mast blocking him, and his pupils dilated suddenly.

At that few tenths of a second, when Lance watched helplessly as he was about to hit him, a huge tentacle suddenly fell from the sky, entangled Lance, and prevented this silly little fish from hitting him.

Lance didn't hit the mast, nor was he caught by the black crocodile behind him, but he hit a huge arm.

Not a small amount of inertia, even the arm and foot were bumped and shifted a little.

Lance was stunned for a moment, he hugged the wrist in front of him and touched it.

Black, with a familiar roughness.

Why is it so like the one that fed him in the coral bone

Thinking of this, Lance quickly withdrew from his arms and legs, and the movement of the whole fish showed his disgust.

The black arms and legs stiffened for a moment. It raised its tail and moved over cautiously, wanting to touch Lance.

Ke Lance still remembered the fear brought by the black chapter monster behind him, and when the tentacles were about to approach, he couldn't help but plunged into the abandoned cabin next to him.

He also closed the door with a bang.

The black arms and legs froze for a moment, then it turned around crunchingly, facing the black Zhang monster.

Wuzhang monster: "..."

It glanced at the other party's tentacles, and silently hid its sixteen tentacles under its body, trying to pretend nothing happened.

Regardless of the struggle of the black chapter monster next to it, the black tentacles dragged the black chapter monster away.

Wu Zhangguai: [Wait, why did you tie me up? Ahhhh—]

Lance heard the sound of rushing water coming from outside, as if something huge had been dragged away.

After everything was quiet outside, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then slumped down from the cabin wall.

He sat on the floor, touched the wound on the fish's tail, and thought, this is really a disaster.

"bang bang bang"

The door of the cabin rang suddenly.

Lance tensed his nerves again. He raised his tail and bared his teeth at the cabin door. At the same time, he made up his mind that if the monster dared to come in, he would use sound waves to pull the monster to die together!

Don't run away!

"Lance?"

A familiar voice came from outside the door,

"It's me, Winsor."

Lance froze for a moment, joy welled up in his heart, he quickly swam over, opened the door, and finally saw the black-tailed mermaid he had met—

The black-tailed mermaid was still the same as he remembered. He was floating in the sea, looking at Lance with black pupils, with a gentle expression, but a trace of helplessness.

Without waiting for Wenser to say anything, Lance stepped forward and hugged Wenser:

"I miss you so much."

Wenser blinked, he was about to question, but Xiaoyu couldn't say anything serious after what happened to Xiaoyu.

"I really miss you."

Lance hugged Winsor tighter and tighter.

"I miss you so much."

He repeated it several times, and the last one was excited, and with a "chirp", he took the initiative to kiss Wenser.

Wenser opened his eyes slightly, his expression blank.

"Hey, Winsor, are you blushing?"

"… No."
