Devil's Sea
Meli was so frightened just now that he almost bumped into that terrifying figure.
Thanks to Mia's timely reaction, she stopped Meli.
Phil also swam quickly to Meli's side, and the three little fish stayed close to each other, giving each other courage.
They stared at the terrifying figure, holding their breath, not daring to move for fear of attracting the other's attention.
The fog around them was getting thicker and thicker, making it impossible to see the true face of the monster in front of them, which made them even more panicked.
In a flash, Merry suddenly remembered a rumor he had heard in the Water City when it was still a ship.
On the Grand Route, there is a place that terrifies countless sailors.
It is said that this sea area is cursed by an evil spirit and hundreds of ships disappear here every year.
Some people have also seen ghost ships carrying the dead floating on the water. The ghosts sang weird songs and dragged passing ships and sailors into the abyss of despair one by one.
ah! ! !
Merry's little head was in a mess.
This...this is probably what people call the Ghost Sea!
That strange singing voice just now must be the legendary ghost singing!
And the black shadow in front of me is probably the evil spirit floating in the sea, looking for a scapegoat!
No! They must escape from here quickly!
Otherwise they will be dragged into the endless abyss by those evil spirits!!!
Meli had been pretending to be calm, but now when he thought of the terrible rumor, fear flooded like a tide, filling his heart in an instant, making it impossible for him to calm down.
"Run!" Meli shouted softly, and at the same time stretched out two pink tentacles to grab the flying fish and butterfly fish around him, while the other six tentacles swam upwards frantically.
"What's wrong?"
Phil and Mia were startled by Merry's actions, but they didn't ask any questions.
This sea area was so strange that they didn't dare to hesitate at all. They flapped their fins violently to keep up with Meli's speed.
Three small fish were swimming desperately in the turbid sea water, and did not notice that a black shadow suddenly flew from the side.
Meli was hit hard without any preparation, and felt dizzy and lost his balance.
The little octopus opened his eyes in a daze, everything in front of him was shaking, he could barely keep his body steady, a small glowing lantern slowly approached him.
The halo looked particularly bright in the dim sea water.
Then...what is that thing?
Through the light, Meli saw the situation around him clearly. His pupils suddenly shrank and his heart almost jumped out of his throat.
That was not a small lantern at all, but a huge anglerfish!
The anglerfish's eyes were cloudy, and it seemed unable to see the road conditions around it. Its huge body was bloated and clumsy, and it rushed all the way, carelessly hitting the wreckage of the passing ship.
Just now, it was a piece of wood that was hit by the anglerfish that knocked Merry, Phil and Mia away.
Meli felt a sharp pain on his head, but he no longer cared about it. He bit his own small tentacles tightly and pressed his body against a piece of shipwreck, not daring to make a sound or move.
It prayed silently in its heart that the anglerfish would never discover its existence.
Butterfly fish and small flying fish also clung to the wreckage of the shipwreck, not daring to move for fear of attracting the attention of the anglerfish.
The anglerfish's mouth is wide open, revealing densely packed sharp teeth, which looks extremely scary.
The three small fish could clearly feel the strong current brought by the huge anglerfish swimming not far away. The force caused the surrounding debris to shake continuously, and the three small fish could be sucked into its terrifying big mouth at any time.
The world seemed to be frozen, and time passed very slowly.
The surrounding sea water was still icy cold, and the chill penetrated deep into my heart.
After a long wait, the anglerfish did not seem to notice the presence of Merry and the others.
The huge figure gradually moved away and disappeared into the dark sea.
The surrounding water flow gradually calmed down, and the entire seabed returned to deathly silence, as if the previous thrill was just a nightmare.
The three little fish still didn't dare to move. They waited patiently, looking around vigilantly, fearing that the anglerfish would suddenly return.
After confirming that there was no more movement around and it was really safe, Meli breathed a sigh of relief, a trace of relief flashing in his eyes: "It's gone..."
Phil and Mia poked their heads out from behind the wreckage and reunited with Merry.
"It's too dangerous here, let's get out of here quickly."
"Well, we can't stay here any longer."
"Don't be afraid. As long as you reach the surface and find the way out, everything will be fine."
Meli paddled her pink little tentacles and continued swimming towards the sea surface with her two little friends.
Along the way, they encountered several different types of deep-sea monster fish, each of which was very dangerous.
Once, the other party discovered them and started chasing them.
Merry, Mia and Phil swam with all their might, and with their small and nimble bodies, they hid among the wreckage of the sunken ship and barely managed to escape.
After a series of thrilling escapes, Merry and his friends finally reached the sea surface.
However, the sea is not a safe place either. There are howling winds, heavy rains, huge waves, and the sea water is a strange deep blue.
There are more and more dead creatures and sunken ships in the sea water. They collide with each other under the impact of the waves, floating up and down with the waves, making a horrifying "creaking" sound.
The sky was covered with thick black clouds, and no stars or moon could be seen. The huge waves stirred up by the strong wind kept hitting the sea surface, and the entire sea surface was in chaos, and there was no way to tell the direction of travel.
The three little fish thought that they would be able to find the way home after reaching the surface of the sea, but the scene before them made them feel very disappointed.
In the heavy rain, they looked at each other for a moment, their eyes full of confusion and anxiety.
This place seems different from what they imagined.
"Although this place is more dangerous than we imagined, we can't give up easily." Mia was the first to break the silence. "Why don't we try following the direction of the ocean current?"
Phil nodded. "That's good. Going with the flow will save you some energy."
Merry couldn't think of a better solution: "I agree. Just get out of here."
The three small fish began to rise and fall with the current, struggling to swim through the storm.
However, there is one benefit to the increasing number of shipwrecks on the sea.
The huge marine creatures do not like to get close to the chaotic sea surface. After that, Meli and the others did not encounter much danger and were able to move forward safely for a while.
The storm gradually stopped, but the dark clouds above our heads lingered for a long time, and thick fog still shrouded the surroundings.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but the waves calmed down and a ray of light appeared on the horizon, which seemed to be the edge of this terrifying sea.
Meli even saw that the sea in the distance was filled with sunlight, soft and charming.
"Look! There's light!"
Phil and Mia also saw the ray of light, and a happy smile appeared on their faces.
It seems that they will be able to leave this strange place soon.
The three little fish swam excitedly towards the bright light, and a burst of evil laughter came from the sea.
Without the obstruction of the sea water, the singing became clearer, as if it was echoing in my ears.
"Yo he he he - yo he he he - bin ku su no, sak oo, todok ni yu ku yo -"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
The hope that had just ignited in Meli's heart was instantly extinguished.
Isn't this the singing of a ghost?!
Could it be that the ghost was unwilling to let them go and was chasing after them!?
