Chapter 28 Mother and Daughter Attacked
Chapter 28 Mother and Daughter Attacked
"Holy crap, what the hell is that?!"
Su Jin was a little confused. What just flashed by?
He blinked and scanned his surroundings, discovering that the golden light from before had vanished.
His eyes were filled with doubt, so much so that he frowned.
Then, he closed his eyes and concentrated for a moment to recall.
Because he had just drunk some honey water made from royal jelly, his mental attributes were temporarily boosted.
With a little recollection, he could vaguely recall the memory from just now.
Although the memory of that golden light was very vague, Su Jin could still vaguely recall some of its characteristics.
It can be confirmed that it is a fish, not some strange-looking creature.
In addition, it's true that its whole body is golden yellow, and it might even glow.
It is about 60-70 centimeters long, not too big, similar to some common sea fish on Earth.
As for other detailed features, Su Jin really couldn't remember them, since he had only glanced at them once.
However, he did write down this information and planned to go back and ask Shen Ruying about it.
You can ask her about the unidentified little fish on your boat, as well as this golden fish.
Su Jin regained his composure and scanned his surroundings. He was still somewhat unwilling to give up, hoping to find any trace of the golden fish.
If he could, he would like to use his 10.8 strength to race against the fish.
Let's see if his harpoon is faster, or the other person's speed is faster.
Of course, there's no reward for winning, but if you lose, you'll end up in Su Jin's stomach.
Unfortunately, the golden fish has not shown any trace since it was shocked by the static electricity field on his ship. It is probably hiding somewhere.
It's impossible for Su Jin to search the entire sea for a single fish, especially one that's incredibly fast. It's harder than finding a needle in a haystack, since needles don't move.
In the end, he caught a lot of marine life in this shallow sea, including small fish, small shrimp, and even a few large flower crabs.
He named this area of the sea "Tranquil Shallow Bend" because there is a real sense of peace and tranquility here.
Because the water is shallow, there are almost no marine animals here; it is a gathering place for harmless marine life.
This means that Tranquil Bend should always be a relatively safe place.
If you need to rest at sea later, you can choose to come here.
Su Jin didn't linger here for long. He quickly replanned his route and headed back towards Shen Ruying's grassland island.
This time, he didn't encounter too many unexpected events, and he returned to the reef area as dawn broke.
He should be able to get back to the grassland island in about half an hour.
He'll need to take a good shower, get a good night's sleep, and recharge to prepare for what might happen next.
As they passed the rocky area, Su Jin still harbored some wishful thinking, hoping to catch a couple more Star Tear Jellyfish to take back.
After all, this stuff is a miracle cure; it can be used to treat any cold or flu.
He actually caught one and sealed it away in a star tear shell.
It seems that this thing doesn't only appear at dusk; it only appears at the transition between day and night, meaning the brightness cannot be too bright or too dim.
After a while, it was almost completely bright outside, and the colorful fish oil in the guiding star torch had burned out completely.
Actually, this thing is no longer needed. Su Jin can already vaguely see the location of the grassland island.
The sun hadn't fully risen in the morning, and there was still a light mist in the air, making it difficult for him to see what was going on on the island.
Suddenly, he vaguely heard Shen Ruying's scream coming from the grassland island...
No, it wasn't a scream, but a sound mixed with fear and anger.
It seems... the mother and daughter were attacked?
Without a second thought, Su Jin slammed on the wooden pedals, cranked the oars to align himself, and sped forward.
After passing through a thin layer of fog, he finally saw what was happening on the island.
In the shallow waters of the grassland island beach, Shen Ruying was seen tightly protecting her daughter behind her.
They were forced into a corner with almost no way out. The seawater was up to Shen Qiaoqiao's waist, and half of Shen Ruying's body was also immersed in the icy water.
You should know that the seawater is very cold in the morning, and she also has many fresh wounds on her body.
The black stockings on her left thigh had been completely torn open, revealing several deep scratches that exposed flesh, with blood seeping out and staining the surrounding seawater a faint red.
Meanwhile, her right sleeve was torn, and there was a clear ring of bloody holes on her forearm, indicating that she had been forced to break free from the wolf's jaws.
From behind, she was trembling all over, due to the cold seawater and the pain from her wounds caused by her breathing and movements. It was hard to imagine what kind of torment she was enduring.
On the shore, a dozen gray-black prairie wolves formed a semicircle, baring their teeth and making low growling sounds, with saliva slowly dripping from the corners of their mouths.
Their eyes gleamed with a hungry and cruel green light, their claws scratching the ground as they slowly approached.
Several of the wolves had dark red bloodstains on their mouths and paws, and the owner of the blood was self-evident.
At the very front of the wolf pack stood a white wolf king, exceptionally robust in build and with fur as white as snow.
Unlike other wolves, it didn't stir; it simply stood still, its icy blue eyes coldly fixed on the mother and daughter in the water, especially...
That wounded but still blocking the way... the prey!
Its eyes held no madness of hunger, only a cold indifference of scrutiny and control, as if it were watching its prey's final struggle.
"Get away! You beasts! Get out of here..."
Shen Ruying's voice was completely hoarse, and even cracked slightly at the end.
Each scream aggravated her wounds, causing blood to seep out continuously. The pain constantly stimulated her brain, but she seemed oblivious to it.
She held her daughter tightly behind her with one hand, while waving her other injured arm wildly at a wooden stick that had been bitten open.
The young woman was in a terrible state; her hair was disheveled, her face was ashen, her eyes were red-rimmed, and tears mixed with sweat and seawater streamed down her face.
She tried to wave the stick, but her movements were weak; she was merely mechanically trying to drive it away out of extreme fear and maternal instinct.
Shen Qiaoqiao was clinging tightly to her mother's waist, her face pale with fright.
She wanted to help, but faced with a dozen wild animals she had only ever seen on TV and in zoos, all she could do was let out desperate whimpers like a small animal.
Her mother took a step back, and she could only follow suit. By then, the seawater had already reached her chest and neck, making it difficult for her to breathe.
Shen Ruying knew that they had been forced into a corner and felt extremely powerless and regretful.
She regretted not being more assertive and proactive, and instead asked Su Jin to bring her and her daughter onto the ship, or at least let her daughter get on board.
If that were the case, they wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
If I gave her another chance...
"Awooo..."
The White Wolf King seemed to have lost patience. It took a step forward and let out a short, low growl.
This is a signal to attack.
At this command, the eyes of the two largest male wolves on the left and right revealed their ferocity.
They suddenly lowered their bodies, tensed their hind leg muscles, and dug their blood-stained claws deep into the mud, about to plunge into the water, their target the woman who was already teetering on the brink of collapse!
Shen Ruying's pupils contracted sharply. She knew that this broken wooden stick could not stop anything, and the next attack could kill her.
All she could do in the end was to turn around abruptly and hug Shen Qiaoqiao tightly with all her might.
She closed her eyes, resigned to her fate and prepared to face death.
Just then, a familiar, sharp shout rang out.
"You beasts! Try touching them!"
