Chapter 1472 A Enormous Cuttlefish
“Brother Blue Whale, just a few small sharks. Don’t panic.”
Fang Qiu patted the back of the blue whale with a smile.
It heard what Fang Qiu said.
Only then did the flustered blue whale calm down.
“Swoosh!”
It spat out a giant jet of water to scare away the sharks.
Unexpectedly…
These sharks around it had no intention of retreating. Instead, they quickly surrounded it.
“The typhoon is coming. These sharks must have felt the crisis that it might cause. While escaping from the typhoon, they want to take the chance and make a fortune, don’t they?”
There was no doubt.
As the typhoon eye appeared, all kinds of sea life would flee frantically.
Animals had a natural sense of crisis. They could feel which areas were safe and would flee in that direction. Therefore, most sea creatures would run away in the same direction.
For the sharks, these animals were undoubtedly a big meal from heaven.
As predators, how could this herd of sharks let such a good chance slip away easily?
A blue whale, the largest creature in the ocean, was incredibly tempting in their eyes. If they could catch a blue whale, their stomachs could be full for at least a week or even a month!
Therefore…
No matter how intimidating the blue whale was, the sharks with such a habit would never step back.
“No way.”
Fang Qiu stood up and took a closer look. The sharks before them had formed a semicircle, blocking the blue whale’s way. Behind the blue whale, there was a complete typhoon. The terrifying gale stirred up the sea water flows, bringing them to the sky. Then, they formed a vast water tornado moving slowly.
He looked up.
Dark clouds kept gathering. The typhoon eye was still growing wildly. No one knew to what extent it could grow.
Countries in Aesia and around the Paciffic classified revolving tropical storms. One type of them was known as typhoons. According to the International Meteorological Institution’s definition, when the tropical revolving storm’s sustained wind speeds reach force 12, it can be called a typhoon.
Scientists had estimated the energy released by a medium-sized typhoon. It was equivalent to that of hundreds of hydrogen bombs or more than a thousand million tons of yellow explosives!
Typhoons were divided into six levels according to their strength. With the highest wind speed between level 6 and level 7, the typhoon is called a tropical depression. If the maximum wind speed reaches level 8 or level 9, it is a tropical storm. Severe tropical storms have the highest wind speeds of level 10 and level 11. Once the wind speed reaches level 12 or level 13, it is called a typhoon. The wind speeds of a severe typhoon are at level 14 and level 15. Super typhoons’ highest wind speed is above level 16!
According to the wind speed…
The wind speed of this typhoon eye had reached level 13, and it was increasing to level 14. As it accelerated like this, it would soon catch up with them.
But it seemed…
These sharks were not going to give up on the whale.
If they couldn’t eat it, they would force it to die!
“Brother Blue Whale, let me treat you to a big meal.”
Fang Qiu burst out laughing, his right hand grabbing the air. Immediately, the divine sword condensed in his hand. He moved and flew out, waving the long sword. Lots of sword strikes were released, bombarding the shark group before them.
Meanwhile…
The blue whale opened its mouth. Its huge abyss-like mouth swallowed a large amount of water around it like a black hole. A small-scale vortex was hence formed.
Meanwhile…
Sword blows fired by Fang Qiu drilled into the water and neatly cut the sharks into two pieces. Before these sharks could react, they fell into the blue whale’s huge mouth.
After swallowing the sharks, the blue whale spat out another thick jet of water.
When the water column fell…
Fang Qiu landed back on its back.
“You’re full. It’s time to go. The typhoon will swallow us up if we don’t leave now.”
Fang Qiu laughed out loud and patted the blue whale on the back, saying, “I’ll take a rest first!”
After that…
He sat cross-legged and began running the guiding technique to absorb the Qi of Heaven and Earth quickly.
He had consumed much internal Qi. He lost more before he found time to replenish it. From the current situation, he didn’t know if there would be any accidents. Therefore, Fang Qiu had to recover his internal Qi immediately!
In the sea…
After a full meal, the blue whale could advance faster. As soon as Fang Qiu closed his eyes, it swam out quickly with Fang Qiu, getting out of the route that the typhoon eye might pass.
Half an hour later…
Fang Qiu opened his eyes.
Right after that, he saw a vast tentacle rising high from the sea and slapping toward the blue whale.
To avoid the enormous tentacle, the blue whale continued to speed up.
He looked around.
In his eyes…
The surrounding sea surface was pitch-black.
“A cuttlefish?”
Fang Qiu changed his face and stood up. There, the ink-black area had a radius of almost 100 meters. It looked extensive.
Blinded by the ink, the blue whale had been swimming in this ink-black area, unable to escape.
“Another big one, huh?”
Fang Qiu patted the blue whale to calm it down and said, “Don’t move. Let it hit you!”
The blue whale heard that.
It stopped moving.
The next moment…
A huge tentacle stretched out from under the sea. With a closer look, Fang Qiu saw many suckers on the tentacle. They were unlike those on the tentacles of octopuses. In such suckers were lots of dreadful barbs.
Fang Qiu could imagine the consequence if this tentacle patted on any living creature — even the blue whale would lose a ring of flesh!
“It’s indeed a big cuttlefish.”
Fang Qiu looked at it attentively.
Violently, the cuttlefish slashed at the whale with its tentacle. Right then, Fang Qiu stretched out his right hand. When a layer of Qi of Heaven and Earth surged over, a huge energy palm materialized above his palm.
When the giant tentacle was brought down, the massive energy palm suddenly clenched and firmly grabbed it!
Then…
He tiptoed, rising into the air. Then, he swung his right hand.
Instantly, an incomparably powerful force burst from the energy palm holding the giant tentacle tightly. It pulled the entire huge cuttlefish out of the sea by dragging the tentacle.
Good heavens!
This cuttlefish was almost half the size of the blue whale. No wonder it dared to eat the blue whale.
But…
He carefully sensed it.
No energy aura was found in this huge cuttlefish. So, it was an ordinary cuttlefish. For some unknown reasons, it grew so big.
“Swish.”
Fang Qiu waved his left hand. His glittering sword cut the cuttlefish in half and threw it far away.
He returned to the blue whale’s back.
Fang Qiu cleared the ink in the sea with his internal Qi. After that, the blue whale could find its direction and move on.
With the recovery of the internal Qi, Fang Qiu completely relaxed.
He looked back.
In the distance, the typhoon eye was moving, but it was not fast.
Well…
It should take a long time to reach the land.
Relieved, Fang Qiu sat cross-legged on the back of the blue whale. Facing forward, he looked at the boundless sea and suddenly had a particularly empty feeling.
Freedom…
Yes, that was the feeling of freedom. He didn’t have to worry about anything. He could go wherever he wanted and do whatever he liked. It was as if he had no worries.
At this moment, Fang Qiu fell in love with that feeling.
He didn’t cultivate.
Yet, the Qi of Heaven and Earth automatically surged over from all directions, pouring into Fang Qiu.
Different from cultivation…
After the Qi of Heaven and Earth flashed into his body, it did not circulate in his meridians. Instead, it rushed into his Dantian, constantly nourishing the lotus shadow!
Fang Qiu didn’t even know he was cultivating.
His Dantian was full of the Qi of Heaven and Earth when he came to his senses. The lotus shadow looked much more solidified than before.
“Oh, I almost forget.”
When he woke up, Fang Qiu suddenly thought of the mining platform.
He forced the Murican troops to leave. When Li Ji and the others arrived, they would take the chance and occupy the mining platform. Even more, they could arrange for people to start mining. Troops might have been sent there to guard that place!
“Brother Blue Whale, let’s go to the mine.”
Fang Qiu hurriedly patted the blue whale.
The blue whale immediately turned around and swam quickly to the right front.
They were moving in the same direction.
However…
The typhoon eye was very likely to pass through the mine. That was why the blue whale didn’t swim in that direction at the start. Nevertheless, it was not too late to go there now!
After ten more minutes…
Fang Qiu finally saw the mining platform and several Huaxia people standing on it.
Obviously, those people also noticed Fang Qiu.
“The typhoon is coming soon. You should avoid it right now!”
Fang Qiu flew straight up and told the soldier on the mining platform. Then he took out his mobile phone and called Li Ji.
“Hello?”
Li Ji answered the phone.
“It is done.”
Fang Qiu said, “The Murican soldiers have been driven away, and our people took the mining platform they left. The task is complete!”
“Okay.”
Li Ji replied excitedly, “A great achievement. Thank you!”
“Don’t thank me in a hurry.”
Fang Qiu shook his head and continued, “I found a typhoon eye some distance from the mine platform. It will at least grow up to be a severe typhoon. Don’t send more people over because I feel it will become violent!”
“A severe typhoon?”
Hearing this, Li Ji was shocked and immediately said, “Okay, I see. I’ll ask someone to watch this place closely!”
Meanwhile, soldiers who occupied the mining platform received the notice in the first place and evacuated from the sea quickly.
Fang Qiu didn’t leave with the soldiers.
After everyone was gone, he flew back to the back of the blue whale and rushed to the coastline of Huaxia.
Just on the way back home…
In Murica…
A military base had been monitoring the underwater mining area. Suddenly, an emergency alarm sounded.
“What’s going on?”
“Sir.”
“The nuclear submarine, Sea Wave III, was collecting sea-bed mineral resources in the Paciffic. Its signal disappeared!”
