But after a few heartbeats, the pirates wading were swept away, and some ownerless shoes and hats were floating on the lake.

The head of the monster at the bottom of the lake had partially surfaced. It waved its tentacles and hit the surging waves, and even the ship stuck in the reef was pushed and shaken slightly - the books in the world have never recorded such a terrifying squid, probably only the sea monster Kraken in the legend of Viking Sailors could match it.

As it slowly rose, the millions of cable chains connecting the winch were pulled and almost reached the limit of breaking.

The tycoon was angered by the constraints from the steel mechanism. It used four pairs of short wrists covered with barbs to wrap around the shipwreck and tried to forcefully climb out of the deep water.

The hull could not withstand this devastating force and gradually fell apart.

"Look behind it, what is that!?"

Yusuf looked in the direction of Isabel's finger, and several giant copper-covered wooden wedge posts were inserted into the bag-shaped torso of the big squid, and countless iron chains were connected to the brass winch through these spectacular wooden wedges.

"It's the mast... it's the mast of that ship!" He was stunned by the scene he saw.

The thickest wedge pillar turned upside down and it was clearly the main mast of the abandoned giant ship, and the remaining wooden wedges and quantity were also consistent with the other masts one by one.

Perhaps this ancient Oriental shipwreck itself is an incredible majestic seal that suppresses the deep-sea monsters in the dark.

This inference made Yousuf take a breath: "God, how did they do it back then?"

The so-called priest king and the fountain of the squid do not exist at all. The ancient mysterious rumors all come from the ink sprayed by this squid.

Because it can quickly heal bleeding wounds and strengthen its physical strength, it has been rumored to be a magic medicine that can give human beings immortal life, which has attracted countless people to pursue it.

Obviously, this is a deadly bait.

It is difficult for Yousuf to know how many treasure hunters have died so far, but he can see that the Chinese have tried to defeat this ocean monster and paid a heavy price for it.

They tried every means, but even so they could not kill it. In the end, they chose to build a set of sophisticated and solid giant mechanisms to trap the beast forever in the deep water so that it would not escape and cause greater disaster.

Facing the sea monster hundreds of times larger than itself, Isabel's voice also trembled: "It wants to break free from those cable chains!"

Nine masts were inserted into the body of a giant calamari like steel nails, firmly holding its movement through intricate iron chains.

Two long and thick tentacles swung wildly in the air, smashing the hanging stones at the top of the cave into pieces that were splashing and falling.

It won't take long to break the shackles and completely get rid of the cages created by the Chinese. There will be nothing to restrict it by then.

The sharp metal friction sound passed through the sky, and the flying winch suddenly stopped. The giant calamari paused, and the wedge nailed into the body pulled out a shocking cracked wound on its torso.

The sea guard actually miraculously climbed back to the upper stone platform with his arm strength alone. In order to prevent the sea monster from getting out, he pushed down a series of iron chains that were running stagnantly, causing all the iron chains that imprisoned it to tighten in an instant.

Under the stimulation of severe pain, the giant calamari's waving tentacles hit the lake shore one after another, causing earth-shaking waves.

The sea guards withstood the terrifying oppression of the shaking mountains and always hold on to the putter of the brass winch, as if they were planning to fight with the giant beasts flapping in the lagoon based on their tiny individuals.

Yousuf and his party hid in a mess between the flying stones and the barb tentacles falling from the sky.

The retreat behind them had been shattered, and they had to cross the rugged rocks to the ramp leading to the high stone platform.

On the crumbling stone platform, the battle between the Gecko Munch and the Mourner continued. They ignored the huge changes in the surrounding environment, as if they would not stop even if the sky collapsed and the earth broke.

The stone platform completely cracked under another fierce slap from the tentacles of the giant calamari. The center of gravity of the platform was unbalanced and fell to one side. Countless rocks and fine sand rustled down, and the two were buried in an instant.

If you cannot escape from the cave as soon as possible, this place will become a place for everyone to bury their bones.

The underground river passages below, which were originally well-connected, have been completely sealed, and their only hope is the breathable hole at the top of the cave.

However, those high-hanging air holes are dozens of meters away from the ground, and it is impossible to reach them without the help of tools.

In this naturally formed underground cave, the entire set of winch mechanisms is the only artificial creation.

They tacitly advanced towards the upper stone platform, avoiding the sliding rolling stones and the sharp edges covered under the sand.

However, due to the collapse just now, the stone steps on the rock wall were also damaged. Faced with a drop of about ten meters, it was difficult for Maku to climb to the upper floor without a focus.

As we were moving forward and retreating, an iron chain was thrown from above. The sea guards looked down at the small team that had escaped: "Come up."

After hesitating for a moment, Isabel stepped forward and held the chain. She looked around her companion, and Yousuf nodded to her.

After climbing onto the stone platform, she was able to face the sea guards face again. Under the cover of his dirty and thick hair and beard, she was indeed a pair of gray-green eyes that looked like her.

But the Shouhairen was not touched at all when he faced her. He just kept repeating to them: "You can't let it go!"

He helped them, just to use their strength to stop the calamari. Not because she was his daughter.

Isabel tried her best to hide the trembling of her hands. She was full of anger, but she was relieved. She could not ask questions that had been buried in her heart for many years, and she was filled with mixed feelings for a moment.

Of course she knew what kind of disaster this terrifying beast would cause once it escaped.

Countless ships on the sea who are ignorant of this will become their prey, and the Indian Ocean will never have peace.

However, four people and an orangutan wanted to trap the ocean beast, as if they were shaking a tree, overestimating their abilities. Even if they tried their best, they would not nail it back to the bottom of the sea.

"Use this."

The sea guard pulled open the oil cloth beside him, revealing a heavy three-bow crossbow.

This ancient war machine in the East requires nearly ten adult men to turn the crane at the same time to open the crossbow string. The powerful force can shoot iron arrows weighing up to 100 kilograms, enough to penetrate the tough skin of the giant calamari.

Yusuf shook his head at the persistent sea guard: "It can't kill. This... I don't know what it is, but you should know that it has extremely strong self-healing ability." He turned around and signaled to others to look at his back. The wound there actually healed magically, leaving only a dark black like ink marks, "We can't do it."

The underground tremor came again, and this time it had evolved into a significant shaking. The calamari also felt the change and tried to break through the shackles more eagerly than before.

"It seems a little—panick?" Isabel became increasingly uneasy. "What is it afraid of?"

She didn't dare to think deeply. What else could scare it like this?

"Volcano." said the sea guard, "at the bottom of the sea."

William did mention the undersea volcanic belt around the Indian Ocean region to them, but no one paid attention to it at that time.

However, this also reminded Yousuf from another perspective: "It is afraid of fire! The wound caused by iron weapons can recover quickly, but the high temperature can directly burn it to death!" He suddenly understood why the Chinese had to nail it to the bottom of the lagoon. "They had thought of it for a long time, so they made a set of winch to fix it!"

He carefully looked at the various parts of the crossbow. The rear end of the iron arrow was connected with a three-finger chain. If the number of fires was sufficient, they might be able to weave an iron net to block the movement space of the giant calamari, and even shoot an iron cable upwards as a way to escape.

To be on the safe side, they shot a test shot at the top of the hole first.

The heavy iron arrow whizzed away through the wind and nailed deep into the rock. Raj tightened the cable chain and wrapped it firmly on the stone pillar, pressed the weight on his body and tried. After repeated confirmation, he gestured to tell others that the strength was fine.

Yousuf breathed a sigh of relief. The retreat was set up, and he would do his best to deal with the big guy in front of him.
