The next day, all the villagers who participated in the encirclement and suppression were gathered. 60 strong men and 60 boatmen formed three groups, forming a C-shaped encirclement. In fact, the purpose was not to kill the sharks, but to expel them.
Originally, sharks were bloodthirsty and had the habit of gathering in groups. They might not return after being driven away but not killed. This sea area was not the area where sharks roamed. If they were hunted now, it might lead to a group of retaliatory return. At that time, Luoxia Village and the surrounding villages would not be able to live.
Zhang Haoran was not very familiar with these situations. After all, he had only been in Sunset for a short period of time, and everything was just learning. Today, he was a little excited about hunting down Big Shark. He hoped to participate in the hunt. Although he was inexperienced, he still looked strong and could hover in the air.
After repeated requests for battle, Uncle Xia finally allowed him to board the logistics fleet. Uncle Xia had told him that he was mainly responsible for the logistics and rescue work.
After all, Uncle Xia thought that Zhang Haoran was still recovering from the cargo ship accident. Otherwise, how could he not remember anything about the accident?
With the Water Spirit Crystal, he would be able to enter Donghai Academy without any mishaps. It was only right for such a good seedling not to have any problems before the test.(I told Uncle Xia in private that it was just a matter of time before he met the Master Immortal. Even if it didn't happen, it might have been in his dream because I wasn't sure.) However, Uncle Xia didn't hesitate."You just need to be prepared for cultivation, and everything will be clear.
The fleet entered the shark's range of activity, but they still maintained their formation and began to search around the reef island. From time to time, they threw large rocks into the sea to startle or drive away the sharks, but the sharks never came out of the water.
A few sailors standing on the mast looked around from time to time, hoping to find traces of sharks.
All of a sudden, the sailors on the lookout outside shouted for everyone to be careful when they noticed the back fin appearing behind the fleet. Everyone was ready to throw their spears. It seemed that the chase strategy was not effective. After the sharks were alarmed, they did not dodge immediately. Instead, they charged in the opposite direction from where the fleet passed.
Sharks were very fast in the sea, so they had a lot of advantages over these anchored fleets.
In an instant, the ships in the third group were smashed into two parts. Although they were not destroyed, their strength had been divided. If they were hit a few more times, they might capsize. The spear-throwing sailors on the ship could not stand steadily and were knocked off their feet. Fortunately, they were tied to their waists with ropes so that they would not be thrown out of the ship.
The main reason was that the hull was anchored as if it was flat ground. However, the lookout sailors on the mast could not take it anymore and were directly shaken and swayed back and forth in the air. Their limbs and torso were injured from the collision. The other two groups of shooters threw water reeds in hopes of hitting and driving away the sharks. However, the sharks separated the outer group of hulls and slid into the sea in time to avoid the attack of the long reeds.
Moreover, when cutting the hull, the shark was in the middle of the third group of hulls, and the other two groups of water spearmen could not carry out effective attacks.
The spearthrower of the team didn't have the chance to attack. Everyone felt powerless. The shark was too fast, and another attack came very quickly. This shark was indeed ferocious.
Zhang Haoran actually discovered that it was not attacking in an arc but from the bottom up. Once it was about to rush out of the water, it would use its dorsal fin and tail to hit the hull. Then, the hull would either be cut open or cracked. It seemed that this shark was a tactical expert.
The villagers were also watching the battle from the cliff. After a few rounds, the three groups of fleets had been divided into pieces. Sailors kept falling into the water. Zhang Haoran had already organized people to rescue the drowning people. The current shark attack was aimed at knocking over the fleet and did not directly hurt people. However, after a few rounds of torture, the crew of each group was already overwhelmed.
Seeing that Shark was once again charging towards the people who had fallen into the water, and that if nothing unexpected happened, there would be tragic losses this time, the fishermen's temporary encirclement team revealed a look of despair. On the distant sea cliff, Uncle Xia and the villagers also let out waves of cries of alarm, shouting to retreat quickly and not to tangle with each other anymore. However, the people on the ship were all brothers and sisters. Who would be willing to give up their loved ones?
Zhang Haoran's blood could not help but surge. He shouted,"Evil beast, look at the saber." Zhang Haoran shot into the water, holding Pangu in his hand. The shark's mouth had a diameter of five to six meters. It opened and closed, swallowing Zhang Haoran into its stomach and sliding back into the water.
The people on the boat, in the water, and on the cliff gasped when they saw this scene. Yun 'er, Wen Wen, and the others all exclaimed, Brother Haoran,
At this moment, the shark felt something invade its body and instantly slid into the depths of the sea. At the same time, bright red blood spurted out from its gills on both sides, and the surface of the sea was also gurgling red.
The people on the surface of the sea quickly rowed to the shore while rescuing them. The crowd let out a sigh, accompanied by sobbing.
At this moment, Zhang Haoran had used the momentum of his knife to split open a 40-meter gap from the skull to the spine in the shark's stomach. However, his strength was limited. After all, he had not officially started cultivating, so he had not come into contact with various methods and mental cultivation techniques.
The shark's bone density was still very high. The shark struggled with all its might under this destructive attack. Waves of stinky liquid and blood rolled towards Zhang Haoran. Zhang Haoran was also knocked out. In the darkness, he did not have any order. He raised Pangu and stabbed it from top to bottom with all his strength. Finally, he stabbed a three-meter-long hole.
Zhang Haoran took the opportunity to rush out of the shark's cavity. It was really exciting. Zhang Haoran spun his body in the water and backhanded the back of the knife. There was a row of sharp inverted sawteeth on the back of Pangu's knife. This stab and hang completely cut open the shark's abdomen.
The shark couldn't be any more dead. Then, a black bead-like object slid out, and it was faintly glowing. What was this? Could it be the Black Pearl? Pearls aren't this big, right? Zhang Haoran casually grabbed it. At this moment, a huge aura seeped into Zhang Haoran's body.
Chapter 8 Setting Out
He didn't know what it was exactly, so he quickly threw it into the ring and studied it later. The feeling of exhaustion came to his mind. He was too tired after extreme nervousness and excitement. Zhang Haoran needed to rest, so he didn't rush out of the water directly. He thought of the underground palace in the reef cave again. Although he had obtained Pangu and the secret manual after two explorations, there were still some opportunities that had not been completed.
Zhang Haoran identified the direction and finally gathered all the strength in his body to charge towards the entrance of the underground palace.
Zhang Haoran jumped into the round cauldron that was engraved with complicated patterns. The inner walls of the cauldron were also engraved with various patterns. The faint Primordial Chaos aura made Zhang Haoran feel very comfortable.
He tried to lie down. A mysterious power slowly cleared his entire body, as if he was combing his body. After combing his body again, Zhang Haoran actually fell into a deep sleep.
This sleep lasted for a long time. His body was slowly expelling impurities. At first, it was very comfortable. Some mysterious pictures were also reflected in his mind. When Zhang Haoran slowly opened his eyes, he found that his body had changed from lying down to sitting cross-legged.
There were many pictures in his mind, but he could not recognize them. He didn't know what it was used for, but when he sat cross-legged in the cauldron, he felt that the feeling of combing was so profound that he had fused with everything around him. Was this the state called "the unity of heaven and man"?
The cauldron that came out was a good thing. It was better to keep it with him. With a thought, he wanted to put the cauldron into his ring, but there was no reaction. He could only use the method of dripping blood again. It was indeed effective.
After a loud bang, the cauldron was put into the ring. This time, Zhang Haoran felt that he had gained a lot from the underground palace. The only problem was that he could not recognize many things, especially the words. He could only wait to study them in the future. He turned around and left the underground palace. With a kick of his limbs, he shot toward the surface of the sea.
It had been three days since he returned to the fishing village of Luoxi Island. A huge platform had been set up at the edge of the village. A huge shark's head was placed in front of the platform in the form of a sacrifice. In the middle of the platform, there were also elegiac couplets. When he looked carefully, he was actually placed in the middle.
It turned out that the villagers had launched a large-scale search in the past three days, hoping to salvage the villagers and him who had fallen into the sea. However, when they found the corpse of the huge shark, they did not find him through the hole in the belly, so they thought that he had died with the shark.
When he got closer and heard Wenwen's voice, he said,""Sister Yun 'er, it's been three days. You should sleep for a while. Even if Brother Haoran hasn't been found, it doesn't mean he's gone. He always surprises everyone. If he suddenly comes back and you look like this, wouldn't his heart ache to death?"
Zhang Haoran shook his head and hummed a song from afar." Don't ask me where I'm from. My hometown is far away. Why do I wander? I wander far away."
The two women were shocked when they heard this shout. They hurriedly stood up and looked at the beach with tears in their eyes. Brother Haoran was not dead. Brother Haoran was back.
With Zhang Haoran's reappearance, the village was in an uproar again. The old and young all ran to Uncle Xia's house to visit Zhang Haoran. They said that he was really a heroic person. He killed a giant shark at such a young age. It was too amazing. This is definitely more powerful than the disciples of Donghai Academy
Zhang Haoran didn't think too much about it. He returned to his own small courtyard after a day with the villagers.
What he wanted to understand the most now was those mysterious words in his mind. It would be great if he could identify what words they were.
The next morning, Brother Haoran…Yun 'er's voice sounded from outside the door. Are you up? "I'm up," Hao Ran said.
"Grandpa asked me to call you over. We're leaving for Eastsea Metropolis today." He said he wanted to remind her of something."
Zhang Haoran came out of the house and said,"Let's go."
