Giant of Light: I am the Old Ones

Chapter 526 The world is changing

"Hu, hu, hu-"

Blake gasped and looked at the two-meter lemon shark that was dragged up from the shore. He lay tired on the beach and didn't want to move.

The original site of the Louisiana town is no longer accessible, because people in the new town can only take a detour to another beach to develop a port and fish.

Three days ago, several children who were helping at the port claimed to have seen sharks offshore. Pearson was busy coordinating the construction of the nearest shelter and could not spare time, so Blake had to bring the hunters from the village over. investigation.

They went out to sea and followed the fishing route, and met this shark on their way back.

This thing was not driven away by them, but kept following the ship, as if it was staring at them.

But soon, Blake realizes that this unseen species of shark is not hunting them humans, but asking for help.

The shark only dared to follow closely within the range of human ships, as if it was avoiding something terrible.

Finally, with the last night left before returning to the port, Blake saw an ugly torso about one meter thick crossing the surface of the sea, and then quickly escaped into the deep sea, followed closely by the shark. He began to swim very fast and collided with the human ship, even if his body might be injured by the underwater paddles, it didn't matter.

Compared to the Twoleg ships, the unknown ugly guy was obviously more terrifying.

But the ugly guy was only focused on the sharks, not the metal boats.

The big guy kept attacking the shark, tearing off some wounds from time to time.

But their actions made the boat bumpy, especially the shark, which was on the verge of extinction. It kept thinking that the land biped's boat was the hope of saving itself, and tried many times to jump out of the water and flop on the fragile deck.

In order to prevent the fight between the two from affecting the safety of the returning ship, Blake visually measured the distance between himself and the land, then jumped into the water with a harpoon.

This may be a bit reckless, but Blake believes in himself. He did this before to save a life, and now he should do it again to save his companions.

This lemon shark is not an adult. It is only over two meters long and should be just two years old.

As for the monster that is hunting this shark, we haven’t seen the whole thing yet and can’t identify it.

If this shark, or the entire population of lemon sharks, was driven all the way from another ocean by that kind of monster, it means that something more terrifying has quietly happened under the ocean that humans have no time to pay attention to.

Human beings have yet to hear anything about this, and have yet to know whether these things represent danger.

Blake couldn't think so much. He attacked the shark and lured it to follow him and give up following the ship.

The harpoon attack worked, and the shark followed Blake. Blake clung to the shark's back and refused to let go, but the shark gradually swam toward the bottom of the sea, and he couldn't hold his breath for that long.

Until a bad smell hit me.

That's right, even after holding his breath, Blake still "smelled" a smell. It was unknown how it directly stimulated his olfactory nerve, and his consciousness instinctively exuded emotions of rejection, avoidance, and nausea.

Then a human face appeared in front of Blake, a "face" covered with the skin of various creatures. It was looking at Blake with a smile, and then bit the man at an angle that the human mouth structure could not open at all. A shark.

The lemon shark finally broke free from the monster's bite. After all, although the monster was huge, its head was very small, only the size of a human face, and it could only cause limited damage to the shark each time.

The exhausted shark was brought to the coast by the tide. When Blake woke up, the shark next to him had been stranded and dead, and the warm sun dried the moisture on his clothes, even making him feel a little comfortable.

If it weren't for the face he caught a glimpse of last night underwater that was so terrifying that it was impossible to forget, Blake would have wondered whether what he saw last night was an illusion.

"Blake, we are here. Huh, luckily it's not far away, otherwise we would all think you were washed up on the beach in your hometown."

The hunters in the town found Blake at this time. They looked at the dead lemon shark next to them in surprise and praised Blake's bravery.

There were only two wounds caused by the harpoon on it. The other places seemed to have been bitten by someone's teeth, but the distance between the upper and lower jaws was a bit far.

In the eyes of these companions, they had heard about Blake killing a shark with his bare hands when they were young. Now this is considered a second deed, even for a demigod hero in ancient Greek mythology, it is nothing more than this.

"Don't get close to that guy yet!"

Blake hurriedly stopped his companions from approaching. He stood up slowly, took a few deep breaths, pointed at the dirty yellow liquid in the bite marks, and said:
"There is another thing in the water that attacked this shark. This thing is not a shark species near American waters. Their living range is at least [-] kilometers away from us. This shark is not an adult, so we can speculate about what it is. Something is driving this shark population towards our sea area. That thing is likely to be polluted, so you'd better be careful. Go and notify Pearson immediately, and if possible, fight with the academy stationed near the ruins of our hometown. Contact the army and ask them to dispose of the body."

The hunters all listened to Black's words. Although they were adventurous, they would not put themselves in danger.

Blake thought of Daniels and Zussman again and would never let his companions die in front of him happen again.

That's why he stopped these people from getting close to this shark even if it was already dead.

It is possible that the contaminated things are very evil. The dead will be resurrected and attack the surrounding life. This can only be regarded as a basic operation. It is not impossible to let fish that should live in the sea come ashore to attack land animals.

Soon after, Pearson arrived with people from the college. Hearing that Blake had discovered something related to pollution, he rushed over immediately.

"It's really a lemon shark. Although its temperament is as ferocious as a great white shark, it just looks a bit honest on the outside. But - this thing is rare even in Hawaii. Not to mention the coast of the Americas, there are not many even in the oceans on the east and west sides of the Americas. , it is less than two years old, how did it swim here!"

The researchers at the academy were well-informed, and like Blake, they instantly realized that this thing should not appear in this sea area at all.

Blake had calmed down and explained: "I also saw something in the water. At least it must not be a creature that we can recognize. That thing has a head similar to a human face, but it has a head that is close to a human face. The skin of the snake-shaped torso, which is as thick as a meter, is not the smooth scales of the sea, but an uninterrupted concave and convex structure that is disgusting and pus-producing. I don’t know how this guy can eat to meet his needs for survival, then The thing just kept attacking the shark, leaving non-fatal wounds on the shark's skin, seemingly just for fun. In other words, this thing has a certain intelligence."

Blake is not as rough as he seems. In fact, after the last crisis in the town ended, he received a letter from Amanda, which mentioned that Amanda was reading books at the college, and Blake began to collect them. All kinds of books and knowledge.

If he can have more knowledge that can be used the next time he encounters danger, he will be able to save more people.

Adhering to this belief, Blake already has a certain degree of scientific reasoning ability and can judge that the weird guy chasing the shark has intelligence.

It’s just that no matter what, humans are the favorite food of evil creatures. This is not at all how noble humans are, but because humans’ intelligence is currently the best on the planet, and they even have to actively degrade the Tianyuan in their brains. Prevent yourself from falling into fantasy dreams all the time.

The flesh and blood that binds such a wonderful soul naturally becomes the delicacy that evil creatures crave.

But that thing didn't care about itself at all, it was just teasing the shark, driving it away and confining it to the waters near the town of Louisiana.

"We will continue to investigate. To be on the safe side, please inform all ships to return. Anyway, you will all be relocated to the shelter in the near future. Unless there are special circumstances, do not go to sea."

The college found a car to take people from the small town back. They were not prepared to involve these ordinary people too much.

Before leaving, Blake shouted: "You must treat this matter with caution. I always feel that this change represents a dangerous omen!"

On the way back.

"Pearson, please help me go back and ask Madin how long it takes for a shark to swim from Australia to America."

"That nerd is sorting out the roster recently to prevent people from missing and not being discovered in time when we moved to the shelter, but I will ask you for you tonight." Pearson could see that Black's mood was a bit wrong, and continued: "But Migratory birds can fly from the heart of Asia to the southern tip of Africa and back again within a year. Don’t underestimate the migration ability of life.”

Blake took a deep breath and said: "This is what I'm afraid of. Migratory birds migrate in order to follow climate changes and live in a suitable environment. So the shark species from near Australia have come all the way here, does it mean that their original living environment has changed? It is no longer suitable for them to survive. The most terrifying thing is, if this change occurs in other parts of the world, will all marine life be driven here in the end?"

"Maybe you're just overthinking it. Just relax. Even if something goes wrong with the things in the water, will they still come to the shore?"

Pierson tried to laugh, inspiring Blake's emotions.

In any case, this matter has been taken over by the academy, and they can only hope that the academy can quickly find out what the cause of this change, which is currently insignificant to the world, is.

Meanwhile, over the East African Rift Valley.

Two Zoga were teasing a Yan-type fighter plane. They were not in a hurry to shoot down the poor guy, but were trying to dogfight in the air, which greatly consumed the energy of tormenting the pilot.

The two zougas were discovered this morning. They intercepted a group of migratory birds heading south and attracted the attention of some natural monitoring stations.

When the Yan fighter planes arrived to investigate, Zuojia flew out of the Great Rift Valley.

The distress signal has been sent out, but it is not yet known whether the monitoring station and the ship of Theseus that received the signal can realize that there are two monsters and take appropriate countermeasures.

"Gah!"

A high-pitched war roar sounded, and a black-knife aircraft flew higher up. The young man who jumped out of it without a parachute made a flying kick, and the lion's eyes in his hands were ignited. Transformed into Ultraman Leo in the flames.

Leo accurately kicked a Zorga, plowing it all the way to the ground, creating a deep ravine.

The other Zoga gave up playing with the Yan fighter, flew to the ground and began to examine the giant of light.

The Yan-type fighter was able to take the time to launch a few signal flares, and used the airborne radio to turn on the power and shouted:
"It's a wild evil creature, not the wraith Zoga transformed by a dark believer. It is initially suspected that there is a Zoga nest inside the Great Rift Valley. I want to return to the port of Theseus' ship first. Hold on, Ultraman!"

The Yan-type fighter jet returned for a circle and then left directly.

Only Ultraman Leo and two Zorgas are left here.

However, the Zoga that was hit first by the flying kick had lost the ability to fly. The flames on its wings had not been extinguished, and even the wings were burned with many holes.

Ultraman Leo stood still and assumed a conservative posture. Although the old lion in his ring had a bad temper, Astra himself, in his human form, was still a shy teacher and good student.

The two sides began to fight. With the boxing and fighting skills learned in the human body, Ultraman Leo was able to correctly deal with the two enemies without being at a disadvantage.

At least this is stronger than many artificial giants.

When Ultraman was fighting, in the forests at the bottom of both sides of the Great Rift Valley, there were not many creatures that were frightened away from the movement here, and there were not even many birds that were frightened and flew up.

It was as if all the local creatures had been wiped out by some terrible force.

More than 400 million years ago, the first Australopithecus may have climbed down from a tree in this forest and started walking on the ground, setting off the origin of human civilization in this era.

The source of this human species is said to have been captured by something after entering Eurasia, embedded into the World Tree, and traced back to the earliest form of flesh and blood, stone, and then a real human being was born.

This is also the missing piece of the puzzle in the history of human evolution from apes to humans.

I wonder how scientists will explain this matter after the world is restored?
Astra is not a genius in studies, he is just diligent enough, so he does not pay too much attention to realize that the environment of this battle is different from all his previous battle scenes.

Apart from him and Zuo Jia, there was no flesh and blood animal in the world here.
