Yousof sucks air from his lungs into his mouth to fight the imbalance in ear pressure caused by deep diving.

When he reaches a certain depth, there is no longer any light around him, and his body is no longer bound by gravity. Even the sound is abandoned in the deep darkness, as if he has entered another world.

He has been addicted to this dangerous game since he was a child. At the age of seven, he could go down to the seabed near the coast of Mombasa to pick up bead mussels. Every time he dives, he would try to challenge the limit he could reach.

The childhood name has already been in place, and its thick anchor cable hangs straight into the water without any influence from undercurrents.

After receiving the message, the fast-toothed Shark arrived in time and anchored not far away. In addition to them, the Hushou Maru and the Sheng Fulong also appeared one after another. The messages of help from the Childhood Send quickly spread on the sea. No matter where the captains who received the parrot message were, they put down their work and turned to the rudder and drove towards this sea.

Yousuf stepped onto the fine sandy and soft seabed with his feet and landed beside the anchor claws of his childhood tits.

With the help of the buoyancy of the sea water, he rewind the tail end of a broken iron cable to the hanging anchor claw. The iron cable extends to the edge of the lagoon, winding up against the cracked rock wall, connecting to the only undamaged brass winch.

Fortunately, the coiled cable chain has a sufficient length so that it will not be pulled off by the calamari in a short time.

By connecting the winch with the anchor cable, he can mobilize the power of the ship to drag it back to the bottom of the water.

The pulling force of the childhood trunk alone is difficult to compete with the huge squid. Before the undersea volcano erupts, the iron chains that it drags behind it must be connected to other ships as many as possible.

Yousuf was not alone. His action plan was issued to the seamen through the mouths of one messenger after another, and all those who were good at diving stood up as soon as possible.

They were once fishermen, sea girls or pearl collectors, and diving into the deep sea was as common as eating and sleeping. In order to protect the ocean on which they depend, they volunteered to stop the underwater monsters.

More and more ships are coming by the wind and waves. With the collective efforts of everyone, this seemingly impossible task is approaching realization bit by bit.

"The number of reinforcements of pirate ships is still increasing, but strangely they all threw their anchors after reaching that area of ​​sea, and it seems that they are not targeting us."

"Down the anchor? It's extremely stupid." Pedro raised his eyelids and buried his head in the chart spread on the table.

After a while, his golden fingers pointed somewhere in the southern part of Socotra Island: "Around here. As long as they don't move, they are a group of living targets. What is the situation of the ships just now?"

"There are thirteen ships that can continue fighting, including Goa."

"Enough." Pedro pushed the door and walked out of the captain's room, and the white sail was spreading above his head. "It was divided into two ways, and this time it must be settled."

The sea water was filled with strange waves, and the sailors on the side noticed the fleeing fish and issued a warning to the other crew members.

Immediately someone shook the rope tied to the side of the ship and passed the message to his companions under the sea.

A slight vibration was conveyed along the rope to divers, who communicated with each other in gestures and sent the same message to more people: "It's coming."

They immediately stopped their work and tried their best to rise.

As we approached the water, the blurry outline of the giant calamari slowly emerged, like a ghost floating in the sea.

Its huge body floated over the divers' heads, covering the sky like dark clouds. Behind it, a long chain of cables, most of which were tightly connected to the anchor.

It has felt the gradually increasing weight behind it and is trying to throw them away by speeding up. The prey struggling in the trap is often the most dangerous, and they will attack and block everything in front of them in a crazy way.

The barbs of the wrists and feet curl the cereals and tear them off without any effort.

Divers who have lost their security ropes struggle to hide in the current stirred by calamari, and a little carelessness will become its hunting target.

In order to cover up his companions in the sea, Lou Sanniang, the female captain of the Sheng Fulong, directed the sailors to move out heavy crossbows to shoot underwater to attract the attention of the sea monsters.

This large crossbow was once used by Qin Shihuang to shoot giant fish in the sea, but it still has a strong deterrent effect today.

Perhaps the memory of fighting with the Chinese two hundred years ago was evoked, and the calamari was indeed angered. It threw down its tangled rope and rushed out of the sea, causing several feet of water to rise on the side of the Shengfulong.

Although he had expected this dangerous beast, when he saw it with his own eyes, the sailors were still shocked by its terrible size.

The waving tentacles were rolling over and almost covered the entire deck. The sharp barbs inserted into the wooden boards and grabbed half of the boat firmly to death. The sudden force almost overturned the Sheng Fulong.

"Put down the rod!"

At the command of Lou Sanniang, three slap rods erected on the starboard side fell down in one go.

The stone hammer fixed on the pole weighs 100 kilograms, which is enough to destroy the enemy ship during water war. At this moment, it suddenly fell on the giant calamari, causing it to retract its tentacles.

"God, what is that thing!?"

The Lisbon's lookout hand suddenly exclaimed and pointed in panic somewhere in front of the sea level.

The non-commissioned officers rushed to the bow of the boat and raised their telescopes.

The splashing waves kept beating a Ming-style sailboat, and a giant beast with difficult-to-identify appearance appeared among the waves.

After a long time, someone finally asked in a low voice and hesitant manner: "Squid..."

He was knocked away suddenly, and the telescope in his hand was also snatched away.

Pedro took a few deep breaths and suppressed the suspicion in his heart.

He handed the telescope back to his subordinates and scanned everyone's eyes: "Gentlemen. No matter what you see, whether it is pirates or sea monsters, I will never allow anyone to lose their will to fight because of this! Please unswervingly believe that the cannon of Christ is enough to destroy everything!"

He held up his charity hand made of rose gold with a high expression: "We are Luzitanians on the sea, let them hear the roar of artillery fire!"

The non-commissioned officers and sailors on the ship were motivated and shouted in unison: "The soul of Luzitania will never fall!"

The gun door was rolled and opened, the muzzle was pushed out, and the heavy lead bullet was loaded.

The Lisbon hung up the attacking flag, and the instant rumbling sounded like thunder exploded, and shells wrapped in burning sparks flew towards the Shengfulong.

"They opened fire!" Isabel couldn't believe his eyes, "Take advantage of others' danger at this time!"

The Sheng Fulong was trapped in the entanglement of the giant calamari, and the already damaged starboard side was riddled with holes after a round of volleys, and the hull plate continued to crack and fall off.

As the tentacles surrounding the hull became tighter and tighter, the keel at the bottom of the boat also began to creak and burst.

The Portuguese's second round of artillery attacks followed, and while breaking the wrist foot of the giant calamari, it completely destroyed the main mast and bow of the Shengfulong.

The water compartment has failed and the hull has irreversibly entered and submerged.

In the desperate situation, Lou Sanniang and the crew were still fighting alone. The iron chain originally used to restrain the giant calamari became an obstacle for the captains - dragging the heavy burden, they could not quickly approach the Sheng Fulong to launch rescue.

In critical moments, the Minotaoños ventured from the port with the advantage of flexibility and maneuverability. The old men threw out their hooks and claws to stabilize the unbalanced Sheng Fulong and set up a springboard between the two ships.

Their heroic behavior was also noticed by the Portuguese and immediately attracted a fierce bombardment.

"If we continue to waste this, our losses will only increase." Isabel was very annoyed by his powerlessness at this moment. "When will Yusuf's instructions come? Where are others--"

Maku and Kuma both pointed at the Lisbon, which was leading the Portuguese Navy to launch shelling the rescue ship.
