Tomorrow's Ark is too real

Chapter 965 Shallow Sea Island
After hearing Nanye Shimoda's so-called "evil sect", Xia Feng felt that this matter was not evil at all, and could even be explained by science.

Xia Feng wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and asked.

"So those villagers' boats were overturned by a big fish?"

Nanano Shimoda sighed.

"It's not the big fish that capsizes the boat."

"What is that? Is it a submarine?"

Nanye Shimoda stood up, took out a white irregular object from the bottom compartment of the cabinet, and handed it to Xia Feng.

"I don't know what submarine you're talking about, but the thing that knocked over the ship is probably more troublesome than any known marine life."

Xia Feng took the white object doubtfully, with a heavy hand.

"Uncle Nanye, what is this?"

"It's the thing's teeth."

Later, Minano Shimoda talked about the origin of this tooth.

At that time, the boat that was knocked over in Nanye Village suffered heavy casualties. After the villagers fell into the water, their blood immediately stained the sea.

There were 5 people on the boat at that time, and 3 of them never came up again. The villagers in Nanye Village who can go to sea are all very good at water, and they disappeared as soon as they fell into the water. They must have been dragged down by something.

Seeing the bloodstains gradually spreading from the place where they fell into the water, the remaining two villagers did not dare to dive to rescue them, so they could only swim desperately towards the coast. During the process, the guy who was a slower swimmer also disappeared.

In the end, there was only one person who returned to the shore alive and notified the incident to the village.

This person is Minano Shimoda's grandfather.

That incident gave the villagers a new understanding of sandworms.

They thought it was the food that God gave them to survive, but the fact is that it was a trap for the devil to trap them.

The villagers didn't know why the sandworms had to gather on that island, and they didn't know what was guarding those islands.

It is possible that it is the king of sandworms, guarding its offspring, or it may be a predator, which regards the sandworms on the island as its own food and is guarding its own hunting ground.

The villagers of Nanye Village are good at facing the sea, but they don't know how to face this kind of creature beyond cognition. After discussions with the elders in the village, they finally gave up their desire for sandworm meat.

However, as the saying goes, if you support the bold and starve to death the timid, Nanye Village gave up Sandworm Island, but this news was leaked inadvertently.

A village tens of kilometers away from Nanye Village heard about the existence of "Sandworm Island".

At that time, except for Nanye Village, which was good at fishing, the villages on the entire south coast lacked food diversity. Faced with such temptations, the young people in that village directly picked up spears and sticks and were ready to engage in it.

At that time, the village head of Nanye Village dissuaded them very seriously, saying that there were "sea monsters" near Sandworm Island that could not be resisted by manpower.

But to outsiders, this kind of talk is clearly a manifestation of food protection. If you don’t dare to go to your own village and don’t let other villages go, I believe your evil.

In this way, the young people in that village formed a "Sandworm Expedition Team" of more than 30 people, which was bound to completely occupy the island.

As for the ending, it was naturally tragic.

They're on, they're out, they're all wiped out.

People think that the sandworm tastes like chicken, and the sea monster thinks that those young people are also crunchy. The ship was turned upside down, and none of the more than 30 people in the sandworm expedition came back alive.

Afterwards, because of this incident, the village tens of kilometers away from Nanye Village disappeared after a few years because it lost too many young people.

Naturally, the villagers of Nanye Village didn't dare to provoke them anymore, and they didn't dare to demand extravagantly for the delicacy of sandworm meat.

Because he didn't know what the "sea monster" was, the village chief was worried that it would climb onto the land from the sea, so he built an altar on the coast corresponding to Sandworm Island.

At the beginning of each month, villagers offer some food as offerings.

This approach is the self-consolation of feudal superstition. If the sea monster is the "Sea God", it will calm it down.

The second consideration is that if it is some kind of large predator, it will eat the food on the altar as soon as it lands, so that the villagers can find it in time.

This method of enshrining and guarding has been used in Nanye Village for decades. It was not until the then village head and Nanye Shimoda's grandfather passed away that no one cared about it.

In recent years, the younger generation in the village has long since stopped making offerings, but the rules of the older generation have been passed down, and this is the rule.

[Don't provoke the sandworm, although it is delicious]

Minano Shimoda's house.

After listening to the complete story about the sandworm, Xia Feng's eyebrows were twisted into twists. Looking at the sandworm captured by him and Feng Bao, there was only one thought in his mind.

To eat or not to eat, that is the question.

Nanye Shimoda lit a cigarette again.

"According to the rules handed down from our ancestors, sand worms are not preyed by us in Minami Village. Even if we accidentally pick them up, they will be released or discarded immediately. I always warn Sorata not to catch sand worms, and even Don't go near the beach corresponding to Sandworm Island."

Xia Feng pondered for a while, and then took a closer look at the tooth that Nanye went to the field to show him just now.

"Uncle Nanye, do you think these are the teeth of sea monsters?"

"That's right, it's scary."

"kindness"

This so-called tooth is a long triangle shape, a sharp white bone piece, and the overall length is about 20 centimeters.

If these are teeth, then it is conceivable that its owner should have a terrifyingly large mouth.

"Uncle Nanye, how did this tooth come about? Did someone break off the sea monster's tooth?"

"No no no, no one can do that."

Uncle Nanye was smoking a pipe.

"According to my grandfather, the ship of the team that went to attack Sandworm Island was destroyed. Later, part of the ship was washed ashore. They found this inlaid tooth on the wooden hull. Presumably, the sea monster bit the hull and broke it when it was torn."

"Did the ship disintegrate?"

"Yes, that power is simply unimaginable."

A ship that can carry more than 30 people must be very large, and with the strict character of the Dongguo people, even a hundred years ago, the hull must have been very strong.

In Victoria back then, the Haimen Gang was also a gang organization that specialized in dealing with the sea. For such a long time, he hadn't heard from Lin Haikou that there were any big fish or marine life that could tear apart the hull.

unless
As if he suddenly thought of something, Xia Feng picked up this piece of biological tooth that had been dried to the point of becoming a fossil, and brought it to his nose to smell it carefully.

Seeing his serious face, Sorata next to him was a little puzzled.

"Brother Xia Feng, what do you smell?"

Uncle Nanxia also explained aloud.

"Fuutarou, you don't think I'm making up stories to lie to you, don't worry, I never tell lies, it's true, this tooth really belongs to a sea monster."

Of course Xia Feng believed Uncle Nanye's words, and this tooth was genuine.

Gently closing his eyes, he carefully discerned the faint breath remaining on this tooth.

Perhaps it was because too much time had passed, this breath was very weak, so faint that it was almost hard to detect.

However, he was finally caught.

That's right, this should be the breath of the deep sea species.
