The Drake Strait is turbulent. Even when the technological civilization was the most developed, the giant ship carrying oil of 10,000 tons was still bumping along this natural channel, and the gale of force 8 or above prevailed in the strait all year round.

In the 16th century, the King of Spain ordered to explore and dig a road connecting the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, but the famous Panama Canal did not appear until after the American Civil War in the 19th century.
So the pirates spread their black sails and did not dare to plunder in the North Atlantic near the Spanish land. They manipulated the rudder wantonly and attacked the Spanish fleet. Once they were surrounded by a large group of ships, they immediately got away, which was more important than life. The most important thing is speed, a pirate ship must be fast, so fast that no one can catch up, this is not enough! They are all desperadoes, daring to rush into the westerly belt and enter the Devil's Strait with all their eggs in one basket, laughing at the Spanish fleet that hesitated to enter.
[Although it is not a wooden boat now, the helmsman and captain with such good skills will never be seen again.]
The siren leans on piles of gold coins and looks out to sea. The mermaids who lived here in the past could easily feel the despair and darkness and come to the surface of the sea. Usually, they were ships that capsized before, and they were probably ships chasing pirates in hastily. People stared at the 10-meter-high curling waves in fear. , cursing or praying frantically.
In contrast, it is likely that the pirate ship wrinkled through hardships, brushed shoulders with death, and fled staggeringly.
The wild laughter and singing of the pirates are very impressive in the memory of the mermaid.
But even with the strongest and lightest boat, the best captain and helmsman, who are familiar with the wind direction of the Devil's Strait, and take life as an adventure, luck will not always favor them—suddenly increased wind, hail, or the most critical Yes, the icebergs floating from the Antarctic are difficult to distinguish clearly in the dark environment.
The two sides of Cape Horn are the Strait of Magellan and the Drake Strait. The channel is slightly wrong, which means the huge difference between life and hell. The channel of the Strait of Magellan is shallow and narrow, but the wind force is only six. If you stray into or stray into Drake Passage, the ship will sink into the deep sea together with the wealth it carries, and never see the light of day.
It was a glorious and bloody age of sailing.
Looking at the shipwrecks that are almost stacked into wonderful mazes and buildings on the sea ridge, you can imagine how many lives have been lost here. The top of the hull has long been covered with various shells. It is a paradise for many fish and deep-sea shrimps and crabs, floating in the sky There are various shimmering jellyfish. The squid pushed away the still dazzling diamonds and piles of gold coins, quickly grabbed the small fish hiding in the gap, and began to enjoy it beautifully. The turbulent waves on the sea can't affect the depth below a kilometer at all, and they swim freely along the rotten planks from one boat to another.
Now, it is no longer clear which country they once belonged to, whether it was a kingdom fleet or a pirate ship.
Seawater is the best electrolyte, it is extremely corrosive, all sails are gone, only the strongest and most reliable ropes are left on the fallen mast, but they are also soaked loose, like the tentacles of monsters Dangling in sea water.
At a glance, it is boundless, with no end in sight.
[Like it?]
What the Siren asked was actually the countless bright reflections that could be seen, but Xia Yi was overwhelmed by the magnificence of this underwater cemetery.
Sure enough, the story is a bit reliable. Many people died around the pirate treasure, but in the movie, there are a few skeletons lying on the ground, or there is a black skull pierced by a sharp sword on the gold coin.
In hundreds of years, not to mention corpses, even bones have been corroded to the point of death.
It will become part of the sea mud, or like a large number of silverware and silver coins, it will be blackened and broken into pieces, and then piled up in inconspicuous corners, becoming exactly the same thing as sand and gravel.
[I don't like it...] Xia Yi was able to answer, then suddenly realized, and changed her words, [It's pretty good.]
The Siren stared at Xia Yi suspiciously, he did not miss Xia Yi's reaction and emotion:
[Why don't you like it?]
[This—] Xia Yi is at a loss for words.
This is hard to explain. After the end of the world, precious metals and precious stones are not worth as much as food and fresh water, and can only be used for lighting. Xia Yi doesn't like these shiny things by nature.
He reached out and grabbed a gold coin that was still tumbling and falling in the sea.
The weight is not too light, and the degree of corrosion is very limited. There is almost no black spot, indicating that the gold coin may not be mixed with silver. Such a rich gold coin may be an ancient relic of the Inca Empire. History is enough to drive people crazy.
Wait, he might change his rhetoric.
[Sirens, it's not that I don't like them... Do you know what they are used for?]
[Humans should use them to show their different status in the group.]Siren tried to recall that these things are of great significance to human beings, as if they are more important than life.
[Almost, the simplest use is that they can be exchanged for a lot of food.]
[Things to eat?]The siren was obviously surprised.
Mermaids who love to collect gold coins and treasures are very unreasonable to sea monsters, because in their logical view, those things that can emit light or reflect light are all inedible—you can’t eat them, so what do you care about them?
The siren determined that in the inherited memory, many humans like to wear these luminous things on their bodies, and even force mermaids to wear them too.
However, the weight and the feeling of hanging around are too hindering the speed and agility of swimming in the sea.
Now the siren heard for the first time that these things can actually be exchanged for food.
[How much can I change?]
The mermaid feels that if the things used for lighting are not liked by humans, then the real value is about the same as a group of deep-sea fish. Uh, it may be that Tao Masi brought these luminous things and asked other sea monsters to exchange some deep sea jellyfish to satisfy their greed. I believe most sea monsters with fixed residences are still willing, because jellyfish can swim, and they are also right. Infrasound is sensitive and often runs away, but gold coins and diamonds are different.
The Siren was still thinking about it, so Xia Yi said seriously:
[A lot, a lot, so much that you can eat it for a lifetime.]
[…]
[Can you eat it for two hundred years?]
The siren lay on Xia Yi's body, and Xia Yi lay on the pile of gold coins.
The mermaid fell into the mathematical problem of how many fish he could eat in two hundred years, but Xia Yi caught a key point.
[How old are you?]
[I haven't calculated it carefully, about... one hundred and thirty...] The siren was careless.
The ages of the sea monsters have been confused to a certain extent, Taomus is almost seven hundred years old, and Kraken is less than half a year old.
Xia Yi was bewildered, unable to speak.
[These are worth so much? ] Siren still can't believe it.
[Not these, uh, last year, this one alone was enough for you...to eat two hundred years...] Xia Yi emphatically lit up the gold coin in his hand, of course if it is really the treasure of the ancient Inca country.
Siren froze.
Then, just his collection in Drake Passage alone, can it be exchanged for food that makes all sea monsters lie still and eat until they die
At that moment, the eyes of the mermaid looking at the gold jewelry and precious stones were different.
[However, not too much.]Xia Yi thought for a while, and explained with great effort, [Jewelry, antiques and swords don't matter, the fewer gold coins, the more valuable... the more food you have!]
[why? ] Isn’t the more good things the better
[If everyone has one, then no one is willing to exchange it with food.]Xia Yi thought hard, but the siren didn't urge him, it took Xia Yi a long time to find an appropriate metaphor, [It's like Abise couldn't find a stonefish, but she wanted to eat it very much, so she was willing to use a whole tuna to share with you Change to a palm-sized stonefish.]
The siren was still staring at the gold coins in a daze.
This is too far from the stone fish.
[But these are useless now, the end of the world...] Unless human civilization regains its glory, they can only continue to sleep in the deep cold sea water.
What the Sirens thought was that Xia Yi didn't like it, whether these things were stonefish or lobsters, it didn't make much sense.
This feeling of loss, which wasn't exactly depression, made the Siren no longer have the will to live in the Drake Passage.
The sunken ship is naturally stacked into a very long and vast labyrinth. If Xia Yi likes it, it can be regarded as an interesting exploration. Slowly swim one by one. The collection of mermaids living in the Drake Passage for hundreds of years, In the end it all went to the Sirens. In fact, he himself didn't know how many there were, and what exactly they were.
[Let's... go to Volkus' house.]
Xia Yi, who was still silently lamenting the historical changes, was taken aback for a moment.
His curiosity has never been too strong, but Bermuda!
— Devil’s Triangle? Mysterious disappearance? Xia Yi didn't think of all this, and he didn't take it seriously, because he was in the "corridor of death" now, and he was seriously affected by the sea monster's logic view.
[What exactly is Volkus?]
[I used to think that humans should like it very much, but now I'm not sure.]
Do humans have favorite sea monsters
Unless it's the Loch Ness monster - but that's in fresh water.
[Vorkus can't attack people, has no teeth, and can't even move.]
[real?]Bermuda's reputation is not small.
[...As long as the ship doesn't go near him, nothing will happen!]
Xia Yi was silent, and after a long time, when the siren had forgotten about this topic, he suddenly asked:
[Vorkus, what are you? ]
The infrasound wave was sent out, and there was a reply soon. Bermuda is the most secretive, and the most dangerous sea monster recorded in Western archives triumphantly expressed that Xia Yi actually took the initiative to talk to it:
[Xia Yi, it's so rare. Ah, well, of course I am... wait, what am I? ]
[…]
A moment of silence, then:
[Hahaha! ] Gululu laughed so hard that he beat the iceberg with his pliers, [Are you going to compare who is more stupid with Eurebia? ]
[I know I'm a squid. ] Eurebia was dumbfounded.
[Enough, Abyssenereus, stop laughing. ] Volkus was furious, [I just forgot what humans call my kind, and I haven’t seen my kind for many years, and you didn’t tell me this. Ouch, wait until it hurts, I move the meat from my stomach to my feet. ]
All the supernatural beings from all over the world bared their teeth, it was so frightening.
Could this be a Garfield-class sea monster
[Vorkus, I don't know when you grew your feet. ]
[Siren, you are too much, although you can't walk, but you are called feet. ]
[You have only one piece of flesh all over your body, but you want us to call a certain lump of it a foot? ] The siren's sound waves were very sharp, directly shattering the gray seashells on the nearest sunken ship.
[You, you discriminate against me whose head is on the body. ]
All the sea monsters were stunned, and then they were wondering what the word discrimination meant. Uribia asked weakly:
[Is there anyone whose head does not grow on the body]
[…Yes, Nereus has no brains. ] The jellyfish has only meridian center and no brain structure.
[no! ] Xia jellyfish screamed to defend itself, [I have, I really have, it's just with the body. ]
Abise waved her tentacles and shouted:
[That is, everyone’s head is the body. ]
[…]
Tao Masi let out a heavy breath: [Your head is the body. ]
The author has something to say: Small Theater:
Oarfish: No, Abiser, Nereus, Volkus, Eurebia, Gululu, and Kraken all have their heads and bodies together. Uh, Taomas, Xia Yi, Siren and Taomas are all of the same kind, but me, my head is with the body, but my head is not the body, I am very tall. Wait why I'm a centrist unlike you, I'm isolated.
