Chapter 648 Fortunately, fortunately!
Whether it was the captain or Chen Ziyan, after discovering traces of the floating island, their first reaction was that the sea monkeys were attacking them again.
They all ignored another possibility, that is, this was just a simple encounter.
After all, there is a barrier outside the sea area here, and the internal space for activities is only so large. The chance of encountering it is not generally high. It is actually normal to encounter them here.
To put it bluntly, this incident was just a chance encounter, but once Chen Ziyan and the others were bitten by a snake, they subconsciously launched an attack.
If sea monkeys really make a comeback, they have to do it at night. After all, sea monkeys are not pure animals.
However, Chen Ziyan and the others reacted normally. In fact, even if they knew what was going on, they would not hesitate at all to take action.
After all, it is a good thing for them to take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate the potential threat of floating islands.
Judging from the current situation, it can be said that the right time and the right location are on their side. It will be difficult for them to encounter such a good opportunity next time.
After checking back and forth several times, Chen Ziyan still didn’t see the sea monkey, so he felt that it was necessary to pay attention to this matter.
He seriously doubted whether the sea monkey was repeating his old tricks and was watching the surrounding sea.
Although he has made arrangements to deal with the sea monkeys even if they board the ship, it would be an advantage if he could seize the opportunity.
What Chen Ziyan didn’t expect was that he patrolled along the deck several times and found no trace of the sea monkey.
Fortunately, this is also a good thing for them. In any case, there is no need to fight on two fronts.
After confirming that there were no sea monkeys hiding around, Chen Ziyan returned his attention to the floating island.
After the first two rounds of shooting, the gunners have now further locked the position of the floating island. In addition, the floating island does not move very fast, so the subsequent shells almost always fall on the floating island.
The consequence of this is that it is now difficult for Chen Ziyan to see the whole floating island clearly, and the continuous explosions have obscured his sight.
However, one thing Chen Ziyan was certain of was that under this level of serial bombardment, it was difficult for the floating island to pose any threat to their ship.
Even his previous expectation, which was to completely destroy this floating island, is likely to be realized.
Just when Chen Ziyan fantasized about eliminating this hidden danger in one fell swoop, a new incident occurred again. After a new round of shelling, a layer of shady curtain began to spread starting from the center of the floating island.
Chen Ziyan looked closely and soon discovered that the black curtain was actually strands of black hair.
This black curtain composed of hair quickly wrapped up the remaining floating islands.
I don’t know what’s so magical about hair, but when the cannonball fell again, it didn’t explode directly, but slid along the hair into the sea water.
After seeing this scene, Chen Ziyan knew that his plan was probably going to fail.
However, this also solved a doubt in his heart. He had never understood before that why the floating island could gather so many ancient ships together and still float on the sea.
He had always thought that Wang Zanghai might have tampered with it. After all, the art of mechanism was profound and profound, so it was not surprising that he could do such a thing.
After all, the Mohists had already tinkered with flying wooden birds thousands of years ago. Maybe Wang Zanghai had achieved something similar before.
And isn’t it the same for them in Xiling? Not to mention anything else, just the secret technique of puppet armor passed down by the bandit leader is even more unbelievable than this!
Now seeing these hair strands, Chen Ziyan finally understood. It turned out that the core of the floating island was the forbidden woman. Yes, forbidden woman.
When he saw the spreading black hair, Chen Ziyan immediately thought of them.
If it were in other places, there might be another possibility, but here in the Undersea Tomb, there is only this answer.
Thinking about this, Chen Ziyan began to wonder whether he should move the boat over and use Molotov cocktails to get rid of these forbidden women and the floating islands together.
After all, in Chen Ziyan's opinion, as long as the forbidden woman is out of water, it will not be easy to deal with.
Anyway, the floating island has been disabled and cannot pose a threat to their ship. The sea monkeys are not here, so it is not too safe to approach now.
But as soon as this idea came up, Chen Ziyan saw the floating island that had been wrapped in hair slowly sinking into the water.
Run away?
This was something he didn't expect, but after it actually appeared, he didn't seem to be too surprised.
Watching the ripples on the water surface in the distance disappear little by little, Chen Ziyan put down the telescope.
Since the floating island was taken into the water by Jinpo, there was no point in continuing to watch it. He might as well think about what to do next.
"Master Chen, the floating island just... ran away?" Because the target was lost, the bombardment also stopped. The captain who was also observing the floating island came over and asked in disbelief.
Unlike Chen Ziyan, who had already figured everything out, he just felt weird now. This was the first time that a dead thing suddenly came to life and ran away, which he had encountered in decades of life.
"Yes, I ran away." Chen Ziyan nodded, and then said: "Don't worry, master, after this shelling, the floating island is no longer a threat."
He just saw it Not only was the original structure of the floating island seriously damaged, even the three new fishing boats outside were severely damaged by the bombing.
Now that the three ships can be put together as a whole, it is already good. It is already impossible to do anything else.
One thing Chen Ziyan didn't say was that the floating island might recover once it encounters a group of fishing boats delivering food. After all, this thing is indeed evil.
But he felt that the possibility of this was extremely low. They would not be so unlucky.
In this relatively closed place, there are still grievances that continue to add fuel to the enemy.
"That's good." The captain was right. Regardless of how weird the floating island was, this time it was considered a serious injury.
“Actually, it’s not a bad thing for us that we failed to completely destroy this floating island.” At this moment, Chen Ziyan continued.
The captain didn't react for a moment: "Master Chen, what do you say?"
"Master, do you think that if the sea monkey's nest is gone, where will those beasts target?" Chen Ziyan had something to say. asked rhetorically.
The captain's pupils shrank suddenly when he heard this, and he said happily: "Fortunately, it was not aborted, fortunately!"
Chen Ziyan's meaning was very clear, that is, the sea monkey's lair was destroyed. After being broken into pieces, they will definitely find a new nest, and in this sea area, their choices are extremely limited. Apart from the undersea tomb and the isolated island, their ship is the only one left.
In other words, at that time, at least one-third, or even one-half, of their ships might have been targeted.
