When encountering ordinary wild animals, the best way to deal with them is not to run away, but to stay in place and confront them face to face.
Because when you actively expose your back to these wild animals, they will subconsciously regard the target in front of them as their prey and start hunting mode.
But this only applies to wild animals that act entirely on instinct.
While looking at the "mermaid", Qin Zhibo could clearly feel something that could be called "spiritual intelligence" emanating from its eyes.
It's just that this kind of intelligence is dark and cold, cruel and merciless.
Face to face with such a creature floating in the sea for a long time, even Qin Zhibo with his iron will cannot do it.
So Qin Zhibo decisively chose to escape.
After Qin Zhibo swam about twenty meters forward, the human-like body of the "mermaid" began to move slowly.
Although they both have a humanoid body, the hands and feet of the "mermaid" are naturally webbed, and the strong muscles covered with gray-green scales allow it to swim faster and quickly reduce the distance between itself and the prey in front of it.
Obviously, the "mermaid" has targeted Qin Zhibo as its prey.
Their race is indeed as Qin Zhibo felt at the moment of contact, they are not different from ordinary natural creatures.
Ordinary creatures hunt for food, but "mermaids" have more diverse uses, such as for fun or sacrifice.
This "waste of wisdom" is actually a symbol of their higher intelligence than wild animals.
Qin Zhibo swam with all his strength toward a large area of light on the sea above his head. In order to increase his strength, he even wore the [Gift of the Golden Tree], which further accelerated his ascent through the improvement of strength and agility.
The disadvantage of this is that it may cause embolism, lead to diving sickness, and in severe cases, death.
But compared to being torn into pieces like a dolphin, with blood dyeing the sea water red, this way of death is too gentle.
But just when he felt that he was about to break through the barrier of the sea at a visual distance, Qin Zhibo felt a sharp pressure coming from his ankle.
Looking down, I saw that the damn "mermaid" had grabbed my foot.
Its power was surprisingly strong. Even though Qin Zhibo desperately waved his arms to swim upward, his body was still pulled down uncontrollably.
Although Qin Zhibo's mission is to kill this kind of curious creature, and his current condescending position is a position that can easily cause fatal injuries, Qin Zhibo has no weapon at all and can only let it drag him.
Pull.
Damn it!
Qin Zhibo:Will-10
But just as the two bodies sank to a certain depth together, a current hit them from the side.
In the face of this more powerful force of the deep sea, Qin Zhibo and the "Mermaid" could not maintain their bodies and could only drift with the tide.
The rumbling undercurrent of the sea water was like the whispers of ancient gods, irritating Qin Zhibo's eardrums.
Qin Zhibo felt that his body was in terrible condition now, his lungs were swollen and painful, and his ears were tingling extremely.
But even so, he still forcibly stabilized his mind, and with an idea, he pulled out the [Episode Gun] from the item list.
Qin Zhibo didn't know if this would work, but it was at least worth trying.
In the fierce current, it was difficult for Qin Zhibo to aim his gun at the merman holding his ankle, but there was no need to aim it. He simply pulled the trigger and fired three bullets.
The shallow ripples of water submerged into the head of the ugly and deformed fat-headed fish, and some strange thoughts grew in the brain of the "mermaid".
Has the gas been turned off this morning?
Mermaid: "?"
Did you close the door when you left in the morning?
Mermaid: "?"
Is the child my own?
Mermaid: "?"
Mermaid: "!"
Under the dual intersection of the fierce ocean current and the torrent of thoughts, the "mermaid" let go of the smooth gray-green palm.
A large group of horse mackerel swam over just at this time and separated Qin Zhibo and the "mermaid", and the two were quickly separated.
Thank you, Yuyuman!
On the beach, Conan and Mao Lilan kept looking at the sea, but so far there was no movement that could cause a ripple on the calm sea.
"Why didn't Mr. Qin come back after being gone for 20 minutes?" Mao Lilan said, looking anxiously at the sea.
Mikihiko Daito had previously said that the undercurrents in the waters near this island were very strong, and even professional divers did not dare to try it easily, but Qin Zhibo still insisted on diving despite everyone's objections.
What if you die?
The image of Qin Zhibo drowning in the sea while wearing a diving suit appeared in Mao Lilan's mind, and her mood fell to the bottom.
Conan, who was standing aside, glanced at Mao Lilan, whose eyes were already filled with tears, feeling a little distressed.
"Sister Xiaolan, Uncle Qin is probably just doing staged decompression."
"The water pressure in the deep sea is high. If you float too fast, it will cause gas embolism. You need to stay for 3 to 5 minutes every 10 meters to consume the gas dissolved in the blood and tissues."
Although I didn’t have time to take diving courses in Hawaii before, I still picked up this basic knowledge easily.
With Conan's popular science, Mao Lilan calmed down a little, put his hands together and prayed silently.
Almost at the same moment, the calm on the sea was suddenly broken, and a human head poked out.
Of course, this human head is connected to the body, and it is Qin Zhibo.
Looking at Qin Zhibo who immediately surfaced as soon as Mao Lilan prayed, Conan felt a little emotional.
Xiaolan, haven't you been lucky for so many years, but have been a prophet?
Qin Zhibo swam with difficulty to a position close to the shore. The pain and weakness all over his body made it difficult for him to maintain consciousness and he fainted.
Mao Lilan and Conan quickly ran over in the slightly cool sea water and fished Qin Zhibo back to the shore.
Conan, who had keen eyesight, saw at a glance that Qin Zhibo's diving suit was torn open at his ankles, with three streaks of cold blood flowing from it.
This is
Conan narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that it might have been scratched by coral while diving, but it didn't feel like it.
Mao Lilan took down the duffel bag Qin Zhibo was carrying on his shoulder, but as soon as he took it off, a lively horse mackerel popped out of it.
This is a horse mackerel that was washed into a duffel bag by an undercurrent. It had no intention of getting into the bag, but it was indeed the force majeure of nature.
But the appearance of this fish made Mao Lilan conclude that Qin Zhibo was exhausted because of fishing.
"Woo-"
Mao Lilan was moved to tears, and other local people who were watching also praised Qin Zhibo's true qualities as a man.
In the end, Qin Zhibo's savior, Yuyu Man, sacrificed his body in the flames and became food for Mao Lilan and Conan.
so…
Thank you, Yuyuman!
Qin Zhibo did not wake up until the rescue ship arrived belatedly, rescued everyone, and sent Qin Zhibo to the hospital in Jinzhen.
No one knows what Qin Zhibo encountered in the sea.
