National destiny: Starting with a coffin, building an aircraft carrier is broadcast live globally.

Little Nine on Renyi's head seemed to sense this pressure as well.

It clung tightly to Renyi's hair, its tentacles tapping the back of his head with a slightly anxious look.

[This is definitely an elite monster! Level 4 or higher!]

[Little Nine really worked! I said I wanted something fresh, and here comes something incredibly fresh!]

[It's fresh, but don't risk your life!]

【Pudu】was firmly stuck to the railing. The Lv3 pole was very sturdy, while the railing made a creaking sound under the weight.

"If this continues, the ship will fall apart first!" Klaus's temple veins bulged.

The two ships together weigh over 8 tons.

At this moment, it's like a buoy, haphazardly plowing through the seawater, leaving behind ever wider and wider waves.

Ivan was the main force in controlling the fishing rod.

Ivan's arms were bulging with muscles, and his eyes blazed with excitement. "If I don't like it, I'll go down and see what's down there!"

"Don't act impulsively."

He used all his strength to hold down the fishing rod with the railing as a lever, "Its energy consumption is much greater than ours, until it is exhausted."

Soon, the underwater behemoth seemed to tire of it.

It stopped its steady drag and started sprinting wildly.

The ghost skeletal boat was dragged, drawing irregular arcs on the sea surface, sometimes veering to the left, sometimes to the right.

Ivan's "Katyusha" was like a counterweight, being tossed about and swayed.

"It's running out of strength; it's making its last struggle!"

The arbitrary judgment was correct. After another 10 minutes of frantic sprinting, the force from beneath the sea surface began to weaken noticeably, occasionally surging forward before slowing down.

"Reel in!"

Klaus began to turn the reel as the force lessened, and the taut fishing line was gradually reeled in.

Beneath the surface, a massive dark shadow is rapidly approaching.

Until a "whoosh" sound,

It bursts out of the water, creating a shower of golden water droplets in the sunset!

That was a creature that shouldn't be in the sea.

Its body is streamlined like a shark's, but its long snout, interlocking fangs, and dull, vertical pupils...

...It looks more like a crocodile no matter how you look at it.

The bizarre fusion of characteristics from two apex predators in it creates an indescribable sense of oppression.

"Splash—"

It fell back to the water, causing the ghostly bone boat to suddenly sink and tilt at a 45-degree angle, with seawater flooding the deck.

"Wow! This is what a man should be fishing for!"

Ivan wiped the seawater that had splashed on his face.

His leg no longer affects his mobility much. After not going into the water for a few days, he was itchy all over and couldn't wait to jump in and fight that crocodile...or shark for three hundred rounds!

The monster, resembling both a crocodile and a shark, was clearly enraged, its long, pointed crocodile tail lashing fiercely against the side of the boat like a steel whip.

He activated the "Abdominal Muscle Man" skill immediately.

Even so, the impact still sent the boat flying half a meter away.

【Durability -45】

Ren Yi's heart sank. This was only with the skill's 30% damage reduction effect activated; if he were to take several hits squarely...

I wonder if the three of them are enough for this guy to have a full meal.

"Klaus, stay away from it!"

"No, unless you give up the fishing rod!" Klaus replied anxiously.

The monster was biting the fishing line, and the boat was completely restrained by its power.

After only a moment's thought, Ren Yi had a new idea: "Ivan, go to your ship."

"clear!"

Ivan quickly untied his sailor's knot, jumped onto his own boat, turned the bow around, and tried to get to the side of the crocodile shark.

It saw that the three tiny humans seemed to have split into two groups, and a hint of human-like mockery flashed in its eyes. Suddenly, it turned its head and charged towards the ghost bone boat.

"Click—"

With the sound of bones cracking, the crocodile shark's gaping maw clamped down on the ship's side.

The guardrail was like a crushed cookie under its sharp teeth.

good chance!

With lightning-fast reflexes, he raised his katana and thrust it straight at the crocodile shark's vertical pupil.

However, just as the tip of the knife touched the eye, a nictitating membrane covered the eye socket!

A crisp "clang!" rang out.

It felt as if it were piercing a metal plate; sparks even flew between the blade tip and the seemingly thin nictitating membrane!

If the first attack fails, immediately use the momentum to retreat to a safe distance.

Just as the crocodile shark was about to continue its rolling and constricting attack on its prey, a thunderous roar came from the side: "Hey!"

"boom--"

With a deafening roar, Katyusha slammed into the crocodile shark's belly like a cannonball!

The bow, modified by Klaus, now displays its full power with its ferocious shark skull and crab claw armor.

Caught off guard, the crocodile shark lost its balance due to the impact.

They flipped back into the sea from the ghost bone boat.

The ghost ship, deprived of its pressure, rebounded violently, nearly throwing Renyi and Klaus into the sea.

"Well done, you Russian!"

Klaus, not even bothering to steady himself, yelled at Ivan, "Get that ugly freak away from our ship!"

Its defenses are indeed quite formidable.

The crocodile shark didn't appear to be seriously injured, but its hatred was completely focused on Ivan and his "Katyusha," and its eyes gleamed with ferocity.

"Come on! You bastard! Let me see what else you've got up your sleeve!"

Ivan stood at the bow of the ship like a Viking, excitedly pounding his chest and roaring fearlessly.

[The Russian athlete, forever a god! So awesome!]

[This is what survival at sea is all about! Head-on confrontation!]

[I bet a spicy snack that Ivan will tear this crocodile shark apart!]

On Blue Star, General Maxi looked at the screen displaying Ivan's battle-ready expression and stroked his beard with satisfaction.

"This is our soldier; he will protect his comrades!"

"Here," someone shouted to Ivan.

"Its skin is very thick! Even its eyes can't attack it!"

Ivan's face remained fervent, but his eyes were remarkably calm.

Although he doesn't usually like to use his brain, his fighting instincts are like those of a wild beast.

Thick skin, and eye protection too...

Then we have no choice but to start from within!

The half-crocodile, half-shark monster was clearly enraged by Ivan; it swam towards him with its gaping maw wide enough to swallow half a boat.

Ivan adjusted his breathing to the rhythm of the ship's rocking.

"Get the hell out of here!!!"

With a loud shout, he used all his strength to hurl the heavy axe in his hands like a discus, aiming it fiercely at the beast's throat!

The axe swirled and precisely plunged into the crocodile shark's gaping maw, slicing through the upper wall and disappearing deep into its esophagus.

Wild animals become extremely ferocious when they are injured.

The three men brought the boat close and stood ready, prepared to face the crocodile shark's even more ferocious counterattack.

The crocodile shark did indeed open its gaping jaws again, but this time it seemed drunk, swimming unsteadily for a few meters before freezing in the water.

They made no attempt to charge at them again, nor did they try to escape or dive deeper.

This reaction...

Something's really wrong!

"Was my axe really that powerful?! w(ﾟДﾟ)w" Ivan looked completely bewildered.

Renyi slightly narrowed his eyes.

That axe... you really shouldn't lick it!
