Chapter 114 The Seven Leaf Beast

Xia Ye was shocked immediately.

"Can even this kind of thing imitate?" She asked Xiuji.

"Don't underestimate the mimicry ability of our race, don't talk about this, things more complicated than this can be mimicked...but the premise is that you know enough about what you want to mimic."

"I see……"

With Xiuji's explanation, Xia Ye immediately understood.It seems that the most important thing about mimicry is cognition. As long as there is a specific and clear cognition, it is only a matter of course to realize it.

This also explains why I can "pinch" out my head so smoothly, and the chief engineer can imitate a complex propeller model.

After all, for the chief engineer, the familiarity with the ether ram thruster even surpassed her own body.

"So, if it is placed in the ether wind, can it enter the ram thrust mode?" Xia Ye asked curiously.

Xiu nodded, then shook his head again: "No...the tail will break..."

Xia Ye imagined that scene for a moment, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

But at this moment, a wonderful idea suddenly emerged from her heart.

"Then this thruster... can it be simulated even bigger?"

"No...it's the limit..."

"Because your tail is still very young, meow~" Xiuji said, "But if you regard it as a shoggoth, it should be able to grow up, as long as you feed it well."

"Huh?" Xiu tilted his head, expressing that he didn't quite understand.

Xiuji stretched his little paw into his stomach, groped for a while, and when he pulled it out again, there was already a white piece of bone on the paw.

It was a fragment of a whale's wing bone.

"Speaking of which, this is the meow you fed to the cat. The cat didn't finish eating, so it was put in the stomach. Now try feeding it to your tail."

Xiu took the bone fragment from Xiu Ji's hand, and moved it to the tail that had released the mimesis.The tail first licked it cautiously, then opened its mouth wide and swallowed it in one gulp.

Chew chew chew chew chew chew...

The tail was like eating potato chips, it ate up the bones in a moment, and then it opened its mouth again.

"It still wants..." Xiu said.

"Then feed it, not just the wing bones, if there is a moth beast corpse, you can also feed it, and if you have extra magic power, you can also feed it... In short, the diet should be balanced, so that it will soon recover Can grow up."

Xiu nodded.

"When your tail can imitate something bigger, I have an idea, I guarantee you will be interested." Xia Ye said.

"what idea?"

"Secret it now, hehe..."

She was trying to keep her secret, when suddenly Tang Li's voice came from the speaking tube.

"Go straight ahead and find the moth beast."

Xia Ye's attention was suddenly attracted.

"How far? How many?" Yaha asked.

Until now, everyone including Xia Ye and Yaha was still calm.This is not the first time that a moth beast has been encountered in the sea this time, and generally when Tang Li reports "discovery", the target is probably still far away—far enough that Yaha will call the management team for a meeting, and then Adjust your course with ease.

But Tang Li's next answer made Xia Ye almost think that he heard it wrong:

"The target is less than 20 nautical miles away, and the number... is only one..."

"20 nautical miles? Isn't it 120 nautical miles?" Yaha confirmed
"That's right, 20 nautical miles, because it's so small that I didn't notice it until this close."

Now Moby Dick's speed is 180 knots, even if those moth beasts don't move, there are only 6-7 minutes left before they will collide with it head-on.

However, Tang Li said that the moth beast was very small, and there was only one, so it might not be too much of a troublesome obstacle...

But Yaha's expression suddenly became tense.

She immediately issued an order: "Share with us what you see."

After a while, Xia Ye saw the moth beast 20 nautical miles away.It is indeed very small, only 3-4 meters long, no wonder Tang Li has not been able to find it.

The most conspicuous feature of this moth beast is the seven wings growing on its head, and the shape of the wings - if you want to compare it, it is somewhat like an elongated four-leaf clover blade.

The length of each wing is about 3 meters. They form a circle like windmill blades, forming a circle. In the center of the circle, there is a cavity densely covered with fine teeth.Behind the mouth is a cylindrical body, less than 2 meters long, with long tentacles trailing behind the body, fluttering as they move forward.

Their bodies are almost pure white with a smooth texture, only with crooked red stripes on the front of the wings. There is one stripe on the wing at 12 o'clock, and two stripes on the second wing counting clockwise. The third piece has three...and so on.

Compared to the two moth beasts she saw before, Xia Ye felt that the appearance of this moth beast was quite normal, and it was not too big. She couldn't help thinking about whether she should just catch it and feed it to Xiuji.

But after Yaha saw the appearance of the moth beast, his expression became more tense.

"Left full helm! Don't approach that moth beast again!" she yelled.

Immediately afterwards, more commands were issued:

"The main and auxiliary guns are each loaded with a delayed shotgun, turned to the starboard direction and waited for the firing order!"

"First mate, is the body of the white whale still intact?"

"It's much better than expected." The first officer's voice came quickly, "It wasn't damaged much by the whale's breath."

"Okay. Now you immediately call all the fellers, half of them guard the back deck, and you lead the other half to guard the front deck."

"receive."

It seems that the moth beast is much more troublesome than imagined.

After Yaha finally gave the order, Xia Ye asked, "Have you seen this kind of moth beast?"

"Well, this is what I said before. The last time I went to sea, I encountered the kind of moth beasts. I called them 'seven-leaf beasts'. That time, I saw a whale besieged by many seven-leaf beasts. kill."

"But now it only has one, and I remember you said that this kind of moth beast is not strong, right?"

"Indeed. But..."

Before Yaha finished speaking, Tang Li's voice sounded again from the megaphone:
"The target is approaching us quickly! The speed... can't be judged, the distance is only 5 nautical miles... 3 nautical miles, 2 nautical miles. Huh? It stopped suddenly..."

"Because it found us."

Yaha sighed softly: "Helmsman, turn the rudder back to the right direction, let the ship sail to the north, and don't approach the east any more."

After finishing speaking, she walked to the window and looked towards the sea of ​​clouds on the starboard side.Soon, she pointed to a small white dot in the distance, and said to Xia Ye:
"It's there."

Following the direction of Yaha's finger, Xia Ye soon saw it too.The seven-leaf beast has stopped swimming forward, and it "stands up" its entire body, with its seven wings facing the sky, slowly turning clockwise.

"What is it doing?" Xia Ye was a little strange.

Yaha did not answer directly: "In the past, I have guessed that the hunting method of the horse chestnut is like this: when searching for prey, they will spread out, and each horse chestnut will search an area. And once a certain horse chestnut When it only finds prey, it stops, and like this, calls all its fellows in the pack."

"Since it is summoning its companions, why don't we attack it quickly? For example, if we shoot at it, maybe it will be killed?"

"It can indeed be killed, but it's useless. If I'm not mistaken, its companion has already been summoned to it."

"Huh?" Xia Ye looked over again, but the airspace was still empty.

Just when she was wondering, Yaha had already ordered: "The main gun, fire to the starboard direction!"

The sound of the cannon quickly sounded, and the light spots of the time-delayed shotguns flew slowly towards the moth beast, and then exploded into countless radiating rays of fire near it.

Each ray represents a projectile that flies into what appears to be empty airspace and hits something with a thud.

bang bang bang bang bang bang-

Almost every projectile hit.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Ye saw the same moth beasts appearing one after another beside the "lonely" seven-leaf beast.

At the beginning, only those Qiye beasts who were hit gave up their invisibility.

But soon, more Qiye beasts showed their existence on their own initiative.

There are hundreds of them, arranged in a neat rectangular formation, like a majestic wall, blocking the direction of the Moby Dick's starboard side.
