「The edge of the Lost Sea.」
"Captain Shi Dun, we've spotted a dark shadow approaching underwater! But the Sea Patrol Radar hasn't detected any suspicious life forms!"
"???"
"Maintain high alert!"
Shi Dun stood at the edge of the deck, his eyes piercing through the thin white mist to scan the depths of the ocean.
The Sea Patrol Radar was reliable, but it couldn't be trusted completely. He was an Awakened now, and with the captain away, he was responsible for the Wandering Ship's safety.
Through the water's surface, he could vaguely make out a shadow, darker than the ocean itself, stirring restlessly beneath the waves and drawing ever closer!
"All hands, battle stations!!!"
Before the words had even left his mouth, a canoe shot out from beneath the waves like an arrow of light. The small boat, surging with power, leaped toward the sky. It dragged a massive octopus carcass, dozens of meters long and tightly bound by steel cables, up out of the water with it.
WHOOSH!
