Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 249: Obonis Sea Monster

By the time Adele and Natalie had finished explaining Sophie's situation, the other people in the room had already moved on to the next stage of the conversation.

Gagran is relatively friendly to witches who were originally female and will not force them to be promoted. Therefore, even if they become witches, they do not need to force themselves to act joyfully. As long as they do not continue to be promoted, there is no need to worry about the risk of losing control.

According to Adele, Natalie, who only needs to play the role of pleasure, sneaks out every month to find one or more girls who are paid to do things in other bars in order not to leave a bad influence on Leila. Now her magic potion is about to be completely digested and she no longer needs such a role.

As a result, these witches knew surprisingly little about gender relations, and the topic of discussion gradually went off track.

Wendy was the type who would marry rivets and gears, and her face turned red as she listened. Although she had the basic knowledge of physiology from her previous life, she gradually became interested in the witches' discussion while living in Bengbu, and she listened attentively.

What are you guys discussing...

Adele's blood pressure was a little unstable when she heard this. She could never have imagined that she, a witch who had just been engaged for less than a month, was the one who knew the most among this group of people.

"You guys chat first, I'll go out for some fresh air."

Adele took down the beaver coat that originally belonged to the Basque captain from the wall. This coat, prepared for people who work at sea all year round, has a thick fur collar, which can protect the lower half of Adele's face in warm fur.

Adele got dressed and walked out the door to the junction of the deck and the cabin, standing in the leeward side and looking at the scenery at the stern.

There were not many sailors working on the deck, and only a few sailors who were fishing were casting nets. Although the Queen of Honeysuckle had a high side, it had been used as a whaling ship before, so it had a small platform that could be raised and lowered, and the sailors stood on that platform to fish and cast nets. When they saw the captain coming out of the cabin, they all hurried forward to greet him excitedly.

Adele waved her hand casually, telling them to do what they were supposed to do, and then leaned against the cabin door in a daze for a while.

However, just when Adele thought it was time to go back, the sailors suddenly cheered. Adele looked in the direction of the sound and saw the sailors pulling the fishing nets with all their might, trying to drag the unfortunate fish caught in the gillnet onto the boat.

The net seemed to be filled with a lot of things. Although the two sailors on the platform gritted their teeth and almost exerted all their strength, they were unable to pull the net up, or even fix the net to the pulley on the boat.

As the saying goes, "a pound of fish has ten pounds of strength." An ordinary fish can exert a force far greater than its own weight in the water. Seeing that there were more than a dozen big fish in the net, it would be difficult for two sailors to pull them up.

Just as the two sailors were gritting their teeth, their faces red and their necks thick, Adele jumped off the boat lightly and landed on the platform as light as a feather. She held the net rope tightly with her white hands, then twisted her waist and turned her body, exerting force suddenly, and dragged the fishing net up a long way.

Even a mid-sequence Beyonder with a weak physique can surpass three or four ordinary adult men in terms of arm strength alone. This is also true for the seemingly weak witches.

Adele then grabbed the net rope and fixed it firmly on the pulley, then signaled the crew on the deck to open the pulley and completely pull the fishing net up.

"Thank you, Captain." Some of the exhausted sailors sat down on the platform and panted. "I didn't expect to catch so many fish."

Adele took a look at the fishing net that was dragged up. There were nearly 20 fish of various sizes in it, including red-backed and white-bellied trout with three white vertical stripes on its body, flat-bodied pigeon fish, colorful long-jawed fish, etc., flapping their wings wildly on the deck.

"From what you said, you can't usually catch so many fish?"

Adair asked curiously.

"Yes, Captain." A sailor got up from the ground and answered respectfully. "These fish look panicked, as if they are being driven by something."

"What drives you?"

Adele frowned instinctively. In this unfamiliar sea, any abnormal phenomenon could bring danger, and as a captain, she had to be on guard.

"Who of you brought a telescope?"

Adele asked the crew. "Go to the observation deck and take a good look around. If there is any unusual movement, notify me immediately."

The crew received the instruction and quickly climbed up the iron ladder of the observation tower. Adele watched his actions intently, watching him quickly climb to the top of the observation tower, observe around with a telescope, and suddenly stop in one direction.

He observed intently for a while and suddenly exclaimed.

"Storm above, what the hell is that?"

Without waiting for Adair's response, he continued shouting:

"There is a monster that looks like a squid on the sea at two o'clock!"

Monster? Adele was startled and rushed to the front deck.

After stepping onto the front deck, she saw the monster in full view.

It has a huge, twisted body covered with black patterns, up to three heads and tangled tentacles. Each head has more than a dozen eyes, each of which can emit green light.

Its head looks like a giant squid, with dense tentacles attached to the lower end. Its body is like some kind of scaly, jelly-like substance. It is bloated and fat, and looks like a giant green water balloon.

From the gaps between its dense tentacles, you can see its exaggerated mouthparts full of sharp teeth, which are enough to swallow a small sailboat. The core of its body alone is about the same size as the Honeysuckle Queen.

Obviously, this is definitely not a naturally generated monster, it must be some kind of extraordinary creature.

When it saw the Honeysuckle Queen, it let out a dull roar. Obviously, facing the uninvited guest, this sea monster with a strong sense of territory was not very happy.

"Sound the alarm and notify everyone to prepare for battle!"

Adele gave the sailors a serious instruction. "That pneumatic spear for whaling hasn't been used for a long time, right? I want to see it functioning properly within five minutes."

The sailor who was frightened by the huge sea monster woke up as if from a dream. He crawled to the side of the cabin and rang the alarm.

The shrill sound of the alarm echoed in every corner of the Honeysuckle Queen. All the sailors who were playing cards in the room were awakened, put on their clothes and ran back to their posts.

Just as the fighting machine "Honeysuckle Queen" revived, the huge sea monster also rushed over with a roar.
