Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 145 Yamata no Orochi
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

A wave tens of meters high suddenly appeared on the calm sea surface without warning, and reached the shore in the blink of an eye, sweeping a dozen unsuspecting hunters directly into the sea. In an instant, the white foam was stained with blood.

"Can this wave smash people to pieces?" Sun Hang's eyes jumped, "No, there is something hidden in the waves!"

"Detecting the memetic reaction of the monster!" The hunter holding the device shouted, "Comparing it with the database... Found it! I found a frequency that matches it! It's... It's C25 Yamata no Orochi!"

There was a slight tremor in his voice, and Sun Hang could fully feel the undisguised fear.

"Isn't the Yamata no Orochi's activity area in the Fuso Sea area? How did it appear here?" The fisherman was stunned. "Didn't the observation post set up in the Tsushima Strait discover its movements?"

"There's no time to dwell on that now. Everyone, retreat quickly! Don't fight it near water!" The hunter carrying the monitoring equipment ran as fast as he could. "That guy has the ability to control the water flow and spread a deadly poison in the water. Anyone who touches it will die!"

Before he finished his words, two spiral jets of water shot out from the water, piercing the two hunters closest to the beach.

The seven or eight hunters standing next to the two men were contaminated by the splashing water droplets - at first they had no obvious reaction, but after a few seconds, they fell limply to the ground, their limbs twitching wildly, and dark blood overflowed from their nasal cavities and ear canals.

"Run!" the fisherman shouted to Sun Hang, "Although the Yamata no Orochi can go on land, its danger will be greatly reduced once it leaves the water!"

The remaining hunters all ran as fast as they could in the direction away from the beach. The spiral water columns were like crossbows shot out from the sea, targeting the slower hunters one by one. Except for a few hunters with defensive abilities who escaped, all the other hunters who were targeted were "nailed" to death on the beach by the water columns.

Finally, when the surviving hunters ran into the woods, the monster lurking under the sea finally stopped firing water columns. Except for the broken limbs and blood foam floating on the sea, and the corpses lying on the beach, everything returned to calm.

"Hu... Hu... Have we... run out of its shooting range?" a hunter gasped heavily.

"I don't know... Anyway... Anyway, I survived..." The hunter holding the monitoring equipment sat down on the ground - he seemed to be the kind of hunter who was more inclined to academic research rather than combat. Although he was the first hunter to react and run towards the woods, he was one of the last few to run into the woods.

He had brushed shoulders with death several times. The most recent time, a rotating water column pierced a hunter who was less than three meters away from him. Fortunately, he threw out his cloak in time to block the splashing poisonous water, otherwise he would have become one of the corpses on the beach.

Of course, his slow running was probably also related to the fact that he was unwilling to let go of the heavy equipment in his hands even in the face of death.

"Has the Yamata no Orochi left?" Sun Hang stood behind a tree, looking out at the sea in the distance. "I don't know." The hunter carrying the monitoring equipment shook his head, "It's too far away, beyond the detection range of the equipment."

"Most of our supplies are scattered on the beach... Should we go back and get them?" asked the female hunter who was on the same landing craft with Sun Hang and the fisherman.

"Let's wait a little longer. I don't want to go back now." Another hunter immediately shook his head like a rattle. "In my opinion, we should at least observe for two days... Who knows, that guy might be lurking under the sea, waiting for us to turn back."

"Can't we call in a destroyer and take it out with saturation fire?"

"If the Yamata no Orochi could be killed with just one destroyer, this guy wouldn't be alive today." The fisherman sighed. "In the operation to encircle and suppress the Yamata no Orochi, the Federation dispatched a full fleet and successfully lured it onto dry land. There were more than 200 hunters involved in the operation, and there was also non-stop air fire suppression... But even so, this guy still escaped in the end."

"Yano, didn't you also participate in the operation to encircle and suppress it? Does it have any weaknesses?" another hunter asked the hunter with the monitoring equipment.

"It is almost invincible in the water. It can use turbulent undercurrents to create a surrounding 'defense field'. Any torpedoes that enter this defense field will be destroyed, and conventional weapons cannot cause effective damage at all." The hunter named "Yano" leaned the device that looked like a large suitcase against the tree trunk and took out a telescope from his backpack. "The Federation later tried a nuclear strike, but a small-yield nuclear strike not only failed to kill it, but also caused it to mutate further. A large-yield nuclear strike would seriously pollute the offshore waters, and even Jingu City and Chunming City would be affected. However, the Yamata no Orochi has been quietly dormant in the depths of the Fuso Sea and has no intention of moving towards the Xiazhou Federation, so the Federation's top leaders shelved the subsequent plan to attack it."

"It's just polluting the seawater." Another hunter said, "If it were me, I would rather pollute the ocean than let such a monster live in the world... Besides, Yano, didn't your ancestors do this? When they discharged nuclear waste water into the ocean, many deformed monsters appeared in coastal areas."

"You..." Yano's face suddenly turned red, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

He really wanted to refute something, but the other party was telling the truth, so he couldn't find any point to refute.

"This at least shows that the top leaders of the Xiazhou Federation still have some conscience," the fisherman said, "unlike those idiots in Fuso back then, who were short-sighted, selfish, and shameless... There were also many voices of opposition in Fuso at that time, but it's a pity that the top leaders simply wouldn't listen."

"But then again, now that Yamata no Orochi has appeared here, does that mean that those shelved subjugation plans have to be put on the agenda again? This place is so close to Chunming City, the top leaders of the Federation will not sit idly by and watch such a huge threat appear in the coastal area, right?"

"I have sent the report of the discovery of Yamata no Orochi back to the warship via the drone. I guess Chunming City has received the news by now." Yano sighed, "I just don't know if the trial will continue."
