Shui Jing is also thinking about this question.

Before they went all the way to Bone Fan Reef and turned back, the weather was calm all the time, but not long after they lowered their nets to fish, this giant shark appeared.

Could it be a coincidence?

It should not be.

It is a one-and-a-half-day boat journey from the shore to Bone Fan Reef, and it can be seen that the scope of the shallow sea surrounded by Bone Fan Reef is not small.

Fishing boats use trawls instead of cast nets, so the boat is constantly moving while fishing.

In this way, the sharks are constantly swimming in the sea, and the positions of the fishing boats in the sea are also constantly changing. The two are like a drop in the ocean, and the chance of encountering them in the huge sea area is very small.

So, if the emergence of sharks is related to fishing, why?

Was it disturbed by crossbars and fishing nets?

Not right either.

This brings us back to the question just now, the sea area is so vast, the crossbars and fishing nets passing through the water are like a needle passing through a pond, and the range of influence is extremely small, almost insignificant.

Moreover, the sea area where they cast their nets is not the place where fishermen usually cast their nets, and the places where other missing fishermen cast their nets and their trawl fishing routes must also be different. This giant shark is not everywhere, how? Can you startle it every time?

No coincidence, no surprise.

That can only be attractive.

This giant shark should have been attracted from a distance.

So, what is it that attracts it?

Shui Jing carefully recalled the predation habits of sharks in his impression.

odor.

Sharks hunt prey by smell, and they can smell extremely subtle smells from very far away, so it is likely that they are attracted by smell.

It did not appear when the net was not lowered before, but it was attracted after the net was lowered, so what attracted it was the fishing net, or in other words, the fish in the fishing net.

However, there are fish shoals everywhere in this sea, and the number of fish in the fishing net may not be more than the fish shoal, so it should not be because the smell of the fish is stronger after being gathered, but the smell of the fish in the fishing net is different from that of the fish shoal.

So, what's the difference?

The shaking of the ship's hull continued, and it was obvious that the giant shark was struggling to tear the fishing net under the stern.

Suddenly, Shui Jing remembered a sentence that a fisherman said when introducing the fishing net: "There are fine hooks on the fishing net... The fish will struggle when it hits the surface... the fins, scales or tail of the fish will be hooked by the hooks... The hook thorns are embedded in the body of the fish..."

Shui Jing suddenly realized, looked at Xie Wuyi and said, "It's bloody."

Xie Wuyi frowned, slightly puzzled.

Shui Jing explained: "Sea sharks are bloodthirsty, and they prefer blood among all the smells, and there are hooks on the fishing net. When the fish struggles in the net, they will be injured by the hooks, bleeding will ooze, and the smell of blood spreads in the water. Sharks follow the smell."

Xie Wuyi nodded slowly, and looked at the place where the rope pulling the fishing net met the sea water. The rope was being pulled violently one by one, as if trying to pull the whole boat into the water.

Shaoyu said anxiously: "Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and cut off the rope, and let the shark chase after the fishing net and bite!"

"No," Xie Wuyi stopped, "Since it is the cause of fishermen's disappearance, we are here to get rid of it. If we let the tiger go back to the mountain today, wouldn't the fishermen still be harmed by it in the future?"

"Then, what should we do!?" Shaoyu became more anxious, shaking the sword in his hand, "Then let's drag the rope! Pull up the fishing net! Lead it out of the water and kill it!"

Xie Wuyi glanced at Shaoyu, and seemed to agree with his proposal, so he planned to pull the rope and confront the giant shark head-on.

Shui Jing grabbed his raised wrist and said, "I'm afraid it's not it..."

Xie Wuyi and Shaoyu were both taken aback, and were about to ask what they meant when there was a muffled noise from the right side of the ship, and the ship shook suddenly, all three of them tilted to the left.

Meanwhile, the stern trawling line was still shaking and tugging.

Immediately afterwards, the three ships in the back exclaimed one after another, and the sound of "bang bang" came from a distance one after another.

Xie Wuyi and Shaoyu held onto the railing tightly and looked at the three boats. The moment they saw the distant sea clearly, they instantly understood what Cai Shuijing hadn't said just now.

Probably not "it".

But "they".

On the surface of the sea under the moonlight, pieces of fins with sharp horns floated out of the water, cutting out long water patterns on the sparkling sea surface, criss-crossing and murderous.

Shaoyu gasped: "So many!?"

Shui Jing curled her lips and said: "It seems that now it's not whether you want to let the tiger go back to the mountain, but whether the tiger is willing to let you go down the mountain."

Shaoyu said angrily: "When is this! Are you still in the mood to joke!?"

Shui Jing raised his eyebrows, and said: "I'm not joking, just now I was thinking, if there is only one, it is not enough to sink the fishing boat, but if there are so many..."

He shook his head: "I'm afraid it's hard not to miss the fishing boat."

As soon as the words fell, there was another loud noise on the right side of the ship, and then, the left front was also hit hard. The few fishermen holding the mast in the middle of the deck were shocked, and they almost missed their grasp and were thrown out. There was a series of exclamations, and so did the three ships behind, screaming one after another.

Shaoyu grasped the railing and barely stabilized her body, said in disbelief: "Why do I hear you gloating!? Aren't you also on the boat now? If the boat sinks later, you can still live!?"

Shui Jing smiled and said, "I'm here now, but I won't be here for a while... that's not necessarily the case."

Shaoyu was dumbfounded and didn't understand the meaning of his words, but Xie Wuyi knew that he did have the ability to shed the golden cicada's shell, so he took a deep look at him.

At this time, a loud shout came from a certain ship behind: "No! The ship is going to sink!"

Xie Wuyi suddenly turned his head to look, but because the sea was so chaotic, it was impossible to see which ship was the problem.What's more, even if he sees it clearly, he doesn't have any effective methods right now.

He could order the ship to sail there to save people, but after that?

The remaining three ships continued to be besieged and hit by sharks, and they would all sink sooner or later.

It wasn't until this moment that he realized that he had underestimated the dangers he might encounter this time. Even if he came here with a warship, he might not be able to escape the danger of being besieged by sharks.

He frowned, turned to look at Shui Jing: "You...can you do something?"

His eyes were seven points anxious and three points longing, as if he knew that Shui Jing had always ignored life and death in the world, and he was not sure that he would help.

Shui Jing smiled: "Yes, yes, I can lure the sharks away, but I'm afraid I will use your bloodletting as bait, are you willing?"

Before Xie Wuyi could answer, Shaoyu shouted angrily, "Presumptuous!"

He had previously regarded Shui Jing as a so-called personal bodyguard, but at this moment, it seems that he has no respect for His Royal Highness. It is obviously impossible for him to be a bodyguard, and he may not even be "one of his own people". He asked: "You Who the hell!? A spy sent by the Kraken!?"

Shui Jing glanced at him, expressing deep sympathy for him still obsessed with the siren, but ignored him, continued to look at Xie Wuyi, raised his chin and said, "May I ask you, how about using you as bait?" ?”

Xie Wuyi looked at him with no trace of fear in his eyes, he just pursed his lips and nodded heavily: "Okay."

Shaoyu immediately became anxious, rushed to the water mirror to block Zhi Wuyi, raised her head and said: "If you want bait, I will do it!"

As he said that, he directly raised his sword and stabbed himself with a backhand.

Shui Jing was so annoyed that he raised his hand and slashed at the back of his neck. The long sword in his hand fell to the ground instantly, and his body limp and collapsed.

Shui Jing grabbed his collar, threw him aside casually, then looked at Xie Wuyi and said, "Have you thought it through?"

Xie Wuyi didn't hesitate: "Yes."

Shui Jing raised her eyebrows and nodded, took a step forward to a short distance in front of him, stared at him for a moment, and slowly pulled out the long bronze sword from his waist with her right hand.

The blade rubbed against the scabbard, making an icy sound. Shui Jing deliberately pulled the sword very slowly, making the sound like a long and difficult Ling Chi.

The expression in Xie Wuyi's eyes has never changed, no surprise, no fear, no hatred, no regrets, only determination and fearlessness.

The long sword was unsheathed, Shui Jing lifted it, and stuck it to Xie Wuyi's neck.

Xie Wuyi closed his eyes and raised his head slightly.

The young man's handsome face looked extremely calm under the cold moonlight, with a bit of awe-inspiring righteousness, and a bit of death.

Shui Jing looked at him, her heart suddenly felt itchy, and she pursed her lips into a smirk.

He raised his right hand and swung his sword to cut off the rope at the stern, quickly flicked Xie Wuyi's cheek with his left hand, turned around and jumped into the sea.

After entering the water, there was silence.

All the shouts and exclamations on the sea, as well as the muffled sound of the giant shark hitting the hull, seemed to be far away from him in an instant.

Shui Jing turned over and dived down more than a dozen feet, away from the swarm of sharks floating on the sea, then turned and turned south, swimming out of the circle surrounded by swarms of sharks.

After swimming more than a dozen feet, the giant sharks swimming in the sea above became scattered, and the water mirror slowly floated up, observing every giant shark swimming above the head at the same time.

Finally, he set his sights on the most nimble and swift giant shark. When the giant shark turned over, Shui Jing shot straight up like an arrow from a string, stabbing the bronze long sword in his hand firmly into its back. middle.

The stabbed giant shark struggled violently in pain, Shui Jing didn't care about anything else, just turned over and rode on its back, holding the sword hilt to force it to swim towards Zhuannan.

Blood instantly overflowed from the wound and spread to the surroundings. The swarm of sharks in the distance immediately became agitated, and turned towards this place like a hungry tiger.

The shark under Shui Jing was one of the most robust and fierce sharks in the shark group. At this time, being stabbed by a sharp sword is like a thousand-mile horse being stabbed in the buttocks. It swims as fast as lightning and flies south, bleeding The sharks were attracted to follow closely behind, rushing south like a mighty army.

Not long after, Shui Jing saw the outline of Bone Fan Island from a distance, and he looked back at the group of sharks not far behind him, feeling confident.

The bone fan reef is getting closer and closer, and the water mirror is ready to go.

When it was less than a foot away from the reef, the giant shark turned around to avoid the reef, but Shui Jing held the hilt of the sword tightly, preventing it from changing direction. With one pick, the hilt of the sword was pressed back, forcing the giant shark to leap out of the water, draw an arc like a rainbow bridge in the air, and fall into the deep sea waters on the south side of Bone Fan Reef.

As expected by Shui Jing, there was blood as bait in front of him, and the mania of sharks behind him was fully displayed.

Just a moment after Shui Jing drove the giant shark to jump over the reef, all the giant sharks that followed without exception jumped over the bone fan reef and chased into the deep waters.

The shark group originally belonged to the deep sea, if it wasn't for the hurricane that night that pushed them across the Bone Fan Reef in the soaring sea, they might never have entered the shallow sea.

Later, the sea receded rapidly, and the Bone Fan Reef became a "city wall" that prevented them from returning to the deep sea. If there was no temptation and stimulation in front of them, making them jump over in an impulsive way, it would be difficult for them not to run aground due to their huge stature. Swim across the reef safely under the premise.

After entering the deep sea waters, there are not many changes on the sea surface, but there are more isolated islands that appear occasionally.

Those islands are big and small, isolated far away in the sea, accompanied by schools of fish and seabirds, a kind of cleanliness far away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

The giant shark carried the water mirror all the way to the south. At sunrise, it even encountered a giant whale floating on the sea and spraying water.

When the swimming speed of the giant shark gradually slowed down, the group of sharks had penetrated deep into the hinterland of the South China Sea, Shui Jing didn't want to lead further south, so he spotted an island that appeared in the distance, and controlled the giant shark to swim towards that island.

This giant shark seems to have been used to being driven during the night, now that the water mirror is directing its direction, it closes its eyes and rushes forward until the shoal still doesn't stop, and it pushes its body onto the beach and runs aground.

As soon as Shui Jing turned over and got down, he suddenly heard dozens of "cracks, bangs, bangs" not far behind him. When he looked back, he saw the swarm of sharks rushing up the shallows as if they were blind.

Shui Jing was helpless, walked back and pushed them back into the sea one by one, and then returned to the beach, standing next to the giant shark that he was riding all the way.
