Chapter 182 Chu Jin, you bastard!
The dorsal fin was approaching at a speed visible to the naked eye. Wherever it passed, the waves surged like boiling water, and jagged scales were faintly visible in the shattered foam.
Manluo felt the driftwood suddenly shake violently, and screamed as she lowered her head—
But in the underwater shadow, the huge tail fin was drawing a crescent-shaped vortex, and ripples with a diameter of about ten feet were piling up layer by layer.
"It's the bone-eating shark!"
Chu Jin was shocked and suddenly pulled her to the other side of the driftwood. The severe pain of the chain digging into her wrist was nothing compared to the palpitations she felt at that moment.
"This beast has an extremely sensitive sense of smell. It can smell blood from five miles away!"
Only then did Manluo notice that the blood beads on her palm were dripping along the wood grain into the sea, spreading a faint pink color in the water.
The next moment, a shark head as tall as two people broke through the water, its rough skin covered with barnacles, and its amber pupils reflected the terrified faces of Manluo and Chu Jin.
But when she saw it open its bloody mouth, half of a rotten fish carcass was hanging between its serrated teeth, and the fishy smell hit her face, making Manluo's stomach churn.
"Evil beast, you're looking for death!"
Chu Jin flicked his sleeve and fired two bone-piercing nails. One was deflected by the waves stirred up by the shark's tail, while the other pierced the shark's right eye!
The sharp pain made the beast roar like thunder, and its tail swept across, raising a three-meter-high wall of waves, which swirled the two men and the driftwood.
However, the poisonous nail had been soaked in sea water for too long and its toxicity had been lost. Although it blinded one of the shark's eyes, it was not fatal. Instead, it angered the shark.
Manluo and Chu Jin were chained together, unable to move their bodies. Although they swam hard towards the shore, they watched the shark attack them again with its mouth wide open.
But Chu Jin quickly took out a dagger from his arms, and with a wave of his hand, the iron chain broke.
The moment Manluo loosened her wrist, Chu Jin ruthlessly pushed her towards the shore.
"You bitch, swim to the shore!"
"What about you?"
Manluo struggled to look back in the waves, but saw that the man had already slapped the sea surface, jumped up, leaped onto the shark's back, raised the dagger and stabbed the shark's head fiercely.
However, the shark's skin was too rough and the dagger could not penetrate it at all. It swayed left and right, creating huge waves. Chu Jin rode on it, holding its dorsal fin tightly, and his body swayed violently with the ups and downs of the shark, which was extremely dangerous.
Manluo gritted her teeth and swam desperately towards the shore, but for some reason, as she swam, she subconsciously looked back and was shocked.
At this moment, the shark's abdomen had been pierced by Chu Jin's dagger, and there was a foot-long wound on its gray-green belly, but it was still wagging its tail wildly in the water, stirring the sea surface into a bloody whirlpool.
However, what was horrifying was that before the blood mist sprayed out by the shark dissipated, it attracted several nearby sharks, which surrounded Chu Jin following the scent!
Chu Jin's flesh and blood body dodged and maneuvered, but he was still thrown more than ten feet away by the huge waves. He was even shocked to the point of spitting blood.
"Chu Jin!"
Manluo was shocked and turned around and swam quickly towards Chu Jin.
A shark opened its huge mouth and bit towards his waist and abdomen. Chu Jin threw out the last bone-piercing nail and nailed it directly into the throat of the leading shark. Foul black blood immediately gushed out.
He glanced at Manluo and couldn't help but shout:
"Are you crazy?! What are you doing back here?!"
Manluo gritted her teeth:
"Even if you die, you must die in my hands! It's not the turn of these beasts!"
"Stupid woman..." Chu Jin cursed softly, but a hint of warmth appeared in his eyes.
The two men swam desperately towards the shore again, their arms almost numb, but they could hear the sound of waves coming closer and closer behind them.
Manluo caught a glimpse of a large gray shadow moving beneath the water, and dug her nails deep into Chu Jin's arm:
"Chu Jin, if we keep fighting these beasts like this, it won't be long before we become fish food. Think about it, is there anything sharks are afraid of?"
Chu Jin's paddling suddenly stopped, but his eyes lit up:
"Your reminder suddenly reminded me of what my father once said: sharks are most afraid of the color orange. This is because there is an orange sea snake in the ocean that poses a deadly threat to sharks. They will automatically avoid the color orange!"
Manluo was delighted at first, but then she glared at him fiercely:
"Where can I find something orange? I can't dye the cloth!"
Before she finished speaking, Chu Jin stared at her chest with a wicked smile on his lips:
"There is some ready-made orange fabric..."
Manluo lowered her head following his gaze, and felt her head buzzing. Then she remembered that what she was wearing today was an orange bellyband embroidered with bauhinia flowers.
This bastard has such cunning eyes!
"Chu Jin, you bastard—"
She raised her hand to hit him, but Chu Jin grabbed her wrist.
At this time, the dorsal fins of three sharks had broken through the water surface, and a fishy smell hit us in the face.
"Stop wasting time! Do you want to feed the fish? Take it off now!"
Chu Jin finally lost his patience, and his roar hurt her eardrums.
Manluo's eyes paused, she gritted her teeth, but still, with trembling fingertips, she reached into the collar of her clothes, suddenly pulled off her bellyband, and threw it away viciously:
"for you!"
