Seeing that it came and went without a trace, and its body was as light as smoke, arrows were useless to it, he roughly guessed that it was the rumored ghost, or perhaps it was really an old crew member living on this ship. There is a saying in China that the so-called lonely ghosts must be like this. They had obsessions during their lifetime, and if they did not go to hell and be reborn as humans after death, they would wander the human world and have no place to rely on.

And it said that something discovered us, which reminded me of the unusual movement I just heard. I noticed it just now, but I heard that the mermaids came on the boat to look for people. When they came, two of them jumped into the water and another two jumped into the water. They came and went. Logically, there should be no problem. Why are there other sounds left on the boat?

At this moment, the strange noise came again. It seemed to come from above, with the sound of limbs moving. I looked up and picked up the kerosene lamp, and saw a lot of fiery red shrimps crawling on the ceiling, moving in a swarm like ants. This was strange, but shrimps were nothing to be afraid of. Even in groups, they were not aggressive.

Maybe he came here to find something to eat.

"Let's go. Let's run back before the mermaids notice us," I said.

"But didn't the senior just say that even if we run away, we can't get rid of the mermaids?" Yunwen asked.

"We'll take it one step at a time. If they want to find us, they can find us. There's always a place where we can get rid of them. Anyway, we can only take it one step at a time," I said.

Yunwen nodded reluctantly.

So I took her to the upper part, ready to let her take me out of here. We went on the deck and were about to leave, but suddenly I felt the hull shaking violently, as if it was experiencing a stormy sea, so that Yunwen and I had to hold on to something tightly to keep steady. I was very nervous and always felt that something was coming.

As I was hesitating, I suddenly saw an extremely huge claw pressing on the deck, and then another one formed a pair. The fiery red claw alone was probably as big as me. The underwater creature must be...

We were both stunned and dared not move, but we saw the water gurgling, and then with a splash, a giant shrimp head jumped out, with a pair of shrimp eyes as big as a football, and two pairs of antennae on the head and chest were like whips. Then five pairs of huge legs also clamped the hull tightly and climbed up, with an arched back, layers of hard scales like fine steel armor, showing absolute majesty.

If the killer crab is more than two meters tall when standing upright, it is already a huge beast that is intimidating. Then the thing in front of me is simply a giant beast in the hand, at least six or seven meters big. Only then did I know what those fiery red shrimps inside are. They are just the baby of this kind of shrimp. When they grow up, they will become such huge monsters.

"I seem to have seen this thing in the Ultraman series I watched when I was a child." I said with a wry smile.

"What should we do? Should we continue to run away?" Yunwen asked.

"How about we go back to the cabin first and discuss the rest later?" I asked.

"Everything...everything is up to you." Yunwen said nervously.

The two of us quickly jumped down, and with a loud bang, the mast of the boat was broken by the huge shrimp claws, and it came directly towards us, fast and fiercely. Fortunately, we had reached the entrance of the stairs and went down, but at this time my pants were hooked by its shrimp claws, and the guy behind me had basically endless strength, so I was immediately dragged backwards, and Yunwen immediately grabbed my hand and held the guardrail tightly with her other hand.

"No!" Yunwen shouted anxiously.

"Let go of me now, or your ligaments will be torn if you pull any longer," I shouted.

"No, you will die." Yunwen shouted again, crying.

"Listen to me, after letting it go, aim at its eyes and shoot with an arrow. I can find a way to get rid of it by myself, believe me." I shouted.

She nodded and said, "Okay, I believe you."

So she let me go, and I was immediately hooked by the huge lobster and lifted up in the air. The other claw was about to come over and clamp my body. In desperation, I could only quickly free myself from my pants, and then fell from mid-air and fell to the ground, but fortunately I was not clamped.

The shrimp is slow in movement and lacks adaptability. Although it is big, it is not impossible to deal with.

The lobster started swinging around, trying to smash me to death, but its sound was too loud, and if I had predicted it a little in advance, I could have rolled over to avoid it. At this moment, there was a sharp sound, and Yunwen's arrow shot out again, hitting the opponent's lobster eye. It retreated back in pain and was stunned for a moment. I took this opportunity to jump onto its claws, and by the time it reacted, I had already climbed up its arm limbs to its shoulder and back, and it shook it off.

But there were too many bumps on its body, and I couldn't get rid of them after grabbing one or two. Then I pulled out my dagger and stabbed it hard at the gap between its neck and limbs. But I heard a "bang" and my palm went numb. The opponent tightened its hard scales on its shell in time, which were extremely hard and could not be pierced. I almost fell down because of the reaction force.

At the same time, its tentacles began to attack me, and it was going to knock me off its body, but after several attempts, it was still too slow to deal with me. Neither of us could do anything to the other. It was too slow to hurt me. I was fast enough, but it was too hard and I couldn't hurt it at all. The battle began to become tense.

But if we go on like this, we will be the ones who suffer. After all, we are making too much noise now. Once all the mermaids are lured up, we will be dead. Therefore, we have to fight this battle quickly.

"Zhou Bo, how can I help you?" Yunwen shouted at me.

This shout really gave me an idea, so I went back to the back shell of the giant lobster again and found the soft flesh connecting the limbs. However, it was still tightly closed and blocked by a hard shell, so I couldn't penetrate it. But I already had a solution.

"Yunwen, when I count to three, you immediately shoot another arrow at its other eye." I shouted.

"good!"

Then I aimed the dagger at the weak spot. At the same time, the tentacles of the lobster touched me and whipped my body hard, causing me to turn pale with pain.

You only have one chance!

"Three, two, one, release!" I shouted.

Suddenly the arrow pierced through the shrimp's eyes with a swoosh. It felt pain and immediately loosened its tight hard shell. I quickly stabbed the dagger into its thin soft flesh. It jumped up and down like crazy, jumping from the boat to the shore, struggling and moving around. I had to increase its injured area to ensure that it would die completely, so I increased my strength and continued to paddle to make the wound bigger.

Blue blood began to flow out from its neck. It struggled for a long time, moving around randomly until it fell to the ground with a bang. After its body trembled for a long time, it slowly entered a dying state. As the saying goes, a centipede is still alive even after death. It would probably take a while for it to die completely. So I rode on it and reached out to grab the lump on its shell to prevent myself from falling off, as it would be extremely easy to be crushed to death.

"Brother, I'm sorry. It was you who attacked us without asking any questions. If you continue to live, we won't be able to escape, and the boat will leak due to serious damage. Even if you force us into a dead end, I will have no choice. Survival of the fittest. You and I both know that neither of us has a way out." I said.

Not long after I finished speaking, the huge fire lobster became completely silent and its body began to stiffen. I got off it, sighed, and took off my pants that were hooked on its claws and put them on.

There were gurgling sounds in the water again, and it was obvious that something was about to come up again. No matter what it was, I couldn't deal with it now, so I hurried back to the boat and took Yunwen to hide in a room under the bow cabin again. I huddled there motionless, waiting for the noise from above to stop and we would deal with it after the patrol.

There were clanging sounds from above for a long time, and some people came down to look for it, but none of them looked here, which made me deeply question their IQ. Not long after, they jumped into the water again and returned empty-handed.

“I didn’t expect there could be a crustacean species larger than the killer crab,” I muttered.

"Yeah, this is the first time I've seen one this big." Yunwen said.

At the same time, our stomachs both started to growl and we smiled at each other awkwardly. Perhaps when we mentioned this, we couldn't help but think of that point.
