Chapter 463 Sawfish
After the shielding suits were taken off, perhaps because of the rain, Song Jingcheng and others did not react much. But when the oxygen mask was taken off, Song Jingcheng clearly felt chest tightness and shortness of breath.
He wanted to snatch back the oxygen mask, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, it was chopped off by Sun Qing.
Song Jingcheng screamed in pain. His excitement made him even more eager for oxygen. But the oxygen in the air was too thin. Soon, Song Jingcheng felt a tightness in his chest and a severe headache.
At this moment, Song Jingcheng, Ma Zhaojun and others were picked up and thrown into the water.
They were already lacking in oxygen, and floundering in the water required even more oxygen. Song Jingcheng and the others struggled desperately in the water, and came to the surface to breathe in big gulps of air, but the oxygen they inhaled was not enough to support their bodies.
A few minutes later, Song Jingcheng and others gradually stopped struggling and sank into the water one after another.
At the same time, Maodan suddenly growled towards the distance, then remembered that Xia Xiaoman was not on the boat, so he turned around and ran to the stern and wanted to jump into the water.
Just as it jumped up, Wang Shijin, who was standing nearby, saw it. He jumped up, hugged Maodan's waist and pulled it back, "Maodan, what are you crazy about? Why are you jumping into the water for no reason?"
Maodan let out two roars, shook Wang Shijin off with force, and wanted to jump into the water again.
On the other side, Xia Xiaoman dived into the water and found the damaged submarine. She took out the ring space she had stolen from Yu Jie, put the submarine into it, and then quickly swam upstream.
When they were about to swim out of the water, Xia Xiaoman saw a huge figure approaching them rapidly.
Xia Xiaoman thought of the big guy that Ma Zhaojun mentioned, and she swam faster to the boat. When she was almost at the boat, she saw Maodan jump into the water and swim towards her.
Xia Xiaoman quickly gestured to Maodan to return to the boat. Maodan ignored her instructions, swam over with all four limbs, threw away the oxygen mask in his mouth, held Xia Xiaoman's arm and turned to swim towards the boat.
The power of the four-wheel drive is fast. In the blink of an eye, Xia Xiaoman was brought to the stern by Maodan. After surfacing, Xia Xiaoman climbed onto the boat and shouted, "Quickly start the boat, something is approaching! Go and start the boat!"
Just as he finished speaking, the hull was suddenly hit hard by something. Xia Xiaoman was quick-witted and grabbed the guardrail tightly to avoid being thrown out.
Xia Xiaoman steadied himself, turned around, grabbed Maodan who was still in the water, and pulled it onto the boat.
Seeing this, Wang Shijin hurriedly reached out to help Xia Xiaoman pull the eggs. Xia Xiaoman pushed him away and said, "Go and start the boat, hurry up!"
"Then you better be careful." Having said that, Wang Shijin turned and ran towards the cockpit.
Just as they pulled Maodan aboard and put on an oxygen mask for him, the boat was hit again. Xia Xiaoman staggered to the deck, where Li Yu'e and the others were standing by the guardrail, looking into the water to check the situation.
"Fuck! What is that? A shark?" Xiao Zheyu exclaimed, pointing at the water.
Xia Xiaoman looked in the direction of his finger and saw only a portion of the silvery-white fish fins exposed above the water and a vague figure hidden in the water.
Ye Xiaojie could clearly see the shape of the big fish in the water from where she was standing. The fish was at least 30 meters long. The head and the upper lip of the fish accounted for one-third of the length of the big fish, which was very similar to a swordfish. But the difference was that the upper lip of this big fish was relatively flat, and there were protruding spikes on both sides.
Ye Xiaojie stared at the fish in the water for a long time before she recognized what kind of fish it was.
"This is a sawfish, an endangered species. I heard it is the first asexually reproducing vertebrate found in nature so far. It can grow up to 7 meters long and lives at the junction of fresh water and sea water."
Sun Qing frowned and said, "This one must be at least 30 meters long! How did it grow so big?"
Ye Xiaojie shook her head. "I don't know. Sawfish usually use their mandibles to attack prey. If we break their mandibles, they won't be able to attack us."
"What is fish kiss?" Xiao Zheyu asked.
"It's its upper lip." Ye Xiaojie pointed the gun at the sword-like fish snout and pulled the trigger, shooting wildly.
Xiao Zheyu, Sun Qing and others also pointed their guns at the sawfish's snout. The scales on the fish's back were thick and heavy, and bullets were not easy to penetrate. The snout didn't have many scales, and the sawfish felt pain after a while after the bullets were fired.
Dense bullets hit the fish's snout. The sawfish was tortured by the pain and became furious. It raised its snout and wanted to use the teeth on the side of its snout to cut the ship into pieces.
At this moment, a shell was fired and hit the sawfish. In an instant, water splashed everywhere. When the water surface returned to calm, Xia Xiaoman and his friends only saw the water surface covered with bright red blood, but did not see the sawfish.
"Where is the sawfish? Did it escape?" Sun Qing asked.
Ye Xiaojie stared at the water surface. "Maybe it escaped. Some fish are very tenacious. Even if half of their tail is gone, they can still live well."
Xiao Zheyu smiled and said, "This big guy is not as serious as Ma Zhaojun said. One shell is enough..." Before he finished speaking, he saw two fish twice as big as the previous sawfish swimming towards him from a distance.
Xiao Zheyu's eyes widened. "No way! Nowadays, fish know how to complain to their parents?"
Xia Xiaoman frowned, ran to the cockpit, and asked Wang Shijin to leave faster. One sawfish was enough to overturn the ship, and now there were two extra-large sawfish. Even with cannonballs, they might not be able to be killed.
Wang Shijin drove the boat and tried to create some distance between himself and the sawfish, but the two sawfish were so fast that they appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye.
Xia Xiaoman looked at the water ahead, pointed in a direction and said, "Go over there. There are mountains on both sides over there. The distance is close, and the Sawtooth is too big to swim across."
Upon hearing this, Wang Shijin immediately turned the bow and headed for the place Xia Xiaoman mentioned. On the other side, Li Yu'e and others stood at the stern and fired continuously at the water surface to prevent the sawfish from approaching the ship. Xie Yi also led people to carry two guns to the deck and fired at the sawfish.
With the interference of Li Yu'e and others, Wang Shijin bought a lot of time. Ten minutes later, Wang Shijin finally drove the boat between the two mountains.
The sawfish followed him into the valley, but because of its large size, it was blocked by the mountain after entering the valley and its speed dropped a lot. Wang Shijin took the opportunity to distance himself from the sawfish.
After driving at high speed for more than four hours, Xia Xiaoman and his crew slowed down the boat only after they were sure that the sawfish would not catch up.
Sun Qing leaned against the guardrail and looked at Xia Xiaoman. "That mine is inhabited by sawfish. Can we still send people to mine the ore?"
Xia Xiaoman shook her head. "Those two sawfish are too big. If we want to kill them, it might cost a lot. Yu Jie probably won't send anyone over."
The main reason is that the mine is too close to Jincheng. As soon as they deal with the sawfish, Jincheng may send people to guard the mine. Then their floating city will be like making wedding clothes for Jincheng.
If there was no underground city near the mine, Yu Jie might find a way to drive away or kill these two sawfish.
