Chapter 1697 - 1591: Overlord of the Sea
"Damn, it’s really beautiful!"
At this moment, Song Yun was following Abu along with Chen Mengjie and others, with colorful coral reefs occasionally appearing before them, teeming with fish swimming to and fro, a truly delightful sight.
Chen Mengjie excitedly grabbed Song Yun’s hand, gazing at these scenes that seemed only possible in a dream, wishing she could swim up and roll on the coral reefs. Seeing her so exhilarated, Song Yun worried she might use up her oxygen too quickly and risk running out, which would not be good.
As Abu led them deeper into the sea, Song Yun could clearly feel the pressure of the water against his body, but it was negligible compared to the breathtaking scenery around him.
Abu stopped the group by a relatively large coral reef and gestured for everyone to pose, while several professional underwater photographers started setting up their equipment.
Song Yun and the others were also arranged into poses, and after a series of photos, more than ten minutes had passed, with everything they needed to capture taken care of. Coach Abu then signaled that everyone could enjoy themselves but not to wander too far, and remember to surface and change oxygen tanks when needed.
Song Yun and Chen Mengjie paused by a coral reef, which was so stunning that it made Song Yun’s head spin.
While observing the coral reef underwater, Song Yun suddenly felt a chilling sensation well up from his heart; it was an intense sense of danger honed from years of a rugged life!
Song Yun turned his head towards the source of the chill and saw a massive silhouette, only about twenty meters from their group!
"Holy shit!" Song Yun’s eyes widened instantly!
The dark shape—or rather white shape before him—was a great white shark!!
Yes, a great white shark, the genuine article, not a drop of additives or preservatives!
"Damn it, wasn’t there supposed to be a shark net? How the hell did this thing get in!" Song Yun was shocked, estimating the great white to be at least over five meters. Those hollow, soulless eyes would send a chill down anyone’s spine, and although its belly was stark white, it exuded an icy coldness!
Sharks have poor vision but an exceptionally keen sense of awareness; they can detect blood from kilometers away, and if there’s prey nearby, they can swiftly react.
The great white shark is the elite among sharks. Spielberg’s movie perfectly illustrated its terror; it’s practically a formidable weapon, an existence like a cheat code! It’s akin to the lion on land, but a lion’s combat power is nowhere near a tenth of a great white’s; when enraged, a great white can even capsize small yachts!
This great white shark moved incredibly fast, reaching the group in a matter of seconds. Song Yun wasn’t the only one who spotted it; Abu and many others noticed the shark almost simultaneously.
Unable to speak underwater, Abu hurriedly gestured with a thumb pointing upward, signaling everyone to surface quickly, and immediately swam toward the surface himself.
Everyone scrambled to reach the surface; a great white shark is a nightmare to anyone.
Song Yun wanted to flee too, but even with his high combat power, the great white had the home advantage. On shore, Song Yun might contend with it, but in the water, facing such a creature, there was only one thing to do—run! No second thoughts! Song Yun thought that even if he hardened himself, a bite from the great white would definitely leave several holes, regardless of how tough he was.
The bite force of a great white shark ranks among the top in the animal kingdom!
But Song Yun couldn’t run, because Chen Mengjie was right beside him. Perhaps she was too engrossed in the coral reef and hadn’t noticed everyone swimming to the surface, and her position was the closest to the great white! If the shark wasn’t a fool, its first target would undoubtedly be Chen Mengjie, the nearest one to it!
Song Yun wanted to yell, but in the sea, he couldn’t make a sound. Seeing Chen Mengjie about to become prey, Song Yun kicked his legs forcefully and shot towards Chen Mengjie!
His speed was nearly on par with the great white shark, and Song Yun was closer to Chen Mengjie than the shark was, so he reached her side faster!
Song Yun grabbed Chen Mengjie’s hand, and with her in a state of shock, he pushed her upwards, propelling her like a torpedo towards the surface. In her terrified gaze, the massive black form below crashed into Song Yun!
No!!
Chen Mengjie screamed internally, trying to stop herself, but a silhouette rushed over and grabbed her, pulling her towards the surface.
It was Li Baoshi!
Li Baoshi’s strength was not something a little Chen Mengjie could resist, so she was easily pulled along!
After flinging Chen Mengjie upwards, Song Yun, due to the recoil, sank further down, and the great white clearly sensed his presence. With a flick of its tail, it swam towards Song Yun.
The great white shark’s attack strategy involved brutally tearing; like most fish, it would bite once and twist vigorously until it tore flesh away.
Despite the water resistance slowing his movements compared to on land, Song Yun was still quite agile.
As the great white opened its mouth to bite, Song Yun twisted his body, narrowly avoiding the gaping maw. Before he could retaliate, the shark’s tail whipped around, striking him.
Bang!
A dull thud echoed.
Song Yun felt as if hit by a train, nearly shaking his organs apart!
"Holy shit! Truly the ocean’s overlord!" Song Yun mused, taking deep breaths to steady himself, forcibly swallowing the blood about to be coughed out.
The great white turned and charged at Song Yun again, this time even faster!
