In fact, there are no people inside these "cartoon dolls". They are the subjects of Princess Latifah and residents of the fairy tale world "Maple Kingdom". This is what they originally look like.
Coming from a fairy tale world, they are creatures of paradise.
Four elf sisters wearing elf costumes and with wings on their backs danced enthusiastically on the float. They are the real "Four Elemental Elves" of Maple Kingdom. They are the water elf Muse, the wind elf Sylphie, the earth elf Copoli, and the fire elf Salama.
It is magnificent under the sky full of fireworks.
"During the last fireworks display, Sakura bought a Ultra Beast."
When Tomoyo mentioned this, Sakura also remembered it.
That was last summer, a year and a half had passed. At that time, the Yabo invaded the earth and humanity was in danger.
It should have been a terrifying thing, but thinking back on it now, Sakura unexpectedly found that she wasn't that scared.
"This won't happen again." Lingye said.
Even though the sky was dark now, this planet would emerge from the darkness. She was more certain of this than she had been a year ago.
As humanity progresses, everything will get better.
The Ferris wheel reached its highest point. Looking out, the amusement park with bright lights under the moonlight looked like a paradise made of glass.
At this moment, Lingye suddenly heard some sound.
She listened carefully and realized it was a cry for help.
That was not the language Ling had learned, or even a language, because the person asking for help was not a human.
The South Pacific is a vast sea with many islands scattered like pearls. Among the many islands, there is an island called Olong Island.
This was once a British colony and gained independence during the decolonization movement after World War II. But even after independence, it was still deeply affected in terms of culture and economy.
It was just nightfall in Japan at this time, but due to the time difference, it was already late at night in Ohlong Island.
Being in the southern hemisphere, it is midsummer here when it is winter in Japan.
The nights at the seaside in midsummer always give people a dreamy feeling. It is indeed a dream here, with waves hitting the white sand beach and a paradise for shells and hermit crabs among the crystal sand.
But the pervasive smell of gunpowder proved that a battle had taken place here not long ago.
“I never thought that the legend of King Totas was actually true!”
This is a hunting team. He is the leader of the hunting team.
Many years ago, he heard the legend of Ohlon Island from a British captain. Ohlon Island was once the kingdom of turtles, inhabited by many rare turtles that had even become extinct elsewhere.
There is also King Totas on the island, the king of turtles. He has a gentle personality and is the "protector god" believed by the local indigenous people.
When the British colonized Ohlon Island, there were also reports of sightings of the Totas King. Some said it could stand upright, about 50 to 60 meters tall, like a huge hill.
Kurosaki thought that such a rare animal would definitely fetch a good price, so he spent two years preparing, spent all his family property to set up this hunting team, bought various weapons and equipment, and rented the ocean-going whaling ship Sakura IV to come to this sea area.
Everything was just as he expected.
King Totas really existed!
Not only that, they were pleasantly surprised to find that there was also a female Queen Totas.
At the rocky hill where the hunting party was ambushing, Queen Totas happened to come and lay her eggs. As if it was destined by heaven, good luck was on his side.
So naturally, they used tranquilizer bullets to anesthetize Queen Totas, and then anesthetized King Totas who came to protect his wife. The so-called "protector god" was vulnerable to the power of human technology.
The two giant sea turtles were caught in a special fishing net and now they are stranded on the beach, wailing.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you. I want to sell it for a good price."
Perhaps they understood what Kurosaki said, the two turtles gradually calmed down. They only moved occasionally, proving that they were still alive.
"What great luck! Haha."
By digging up the beach where turtles had laid their eggs, they unexpectedly found four eggs of Totas sea turtles. Actually, there should have been five, but one of them was broken when it was found. It's a pity.
Such an egg, if intact, can be sold for 100 million yen.
"But Captain, is it really appropriate for us to do this? My grandmother told me that pregnant animals cannot be caught."
Shirai, who was speaking, was also a member of the hunting team. He was the one who fired the tranquilizer bullet before. But now he felt a little regretful.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You don't want the money anymore? Look at these two monsters, one worth 10 billion yen. If you give up, get out now!"
Money... Shirai still wanted it. After all, it wasn't tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.
The four eggs of the two monsters are worth more than 2 billion. Even if the captain takes the lion's share, each of them will get at least hundreds of millions.
Enough to spend for a lifetime.
"Shirai, Shirai, are you crazy? These are monsters, do you feel sorry for them? If Ultraman were here, he would have killed them directly."
Kurosaki lit up a cigarette and took a puff, then watched his men set up tents. They would camp here for the night and return tomorrow.
Thinking about the bright future, Kurosaki felt like he was drunk from smoking. The beach on a summer night was so beautiful.
The beach was pitch black late at night, and the hunting team's campfire only illuminated a corner.
So no one noticed the girl standing in the distance where the beach and the sea touched each other. She stepped on the waves, the water flowed over her shoes and then receded, but did not wet her shoes and socks, like a spirit of the sea.
The girl looked at those humans and then at the turtle monster, not knowing what she was thinking.
The hunting party lit a bonfire and drank wine.
"But Captain, if we take them back, will anyone really be willing to buy them? What's the point of buying monsters?"
"Nonsense, I have already contacted the next buyer. Haven't you heard about the endangered zoo in Tokyo Bay? There are many endangered animals, and even monsters like this. There are so many tourists every day."
"Why are they the only ones who can open a zoo like this? If they can, then others can too."
So a rich person bought it and wanted to open a zoo?
Really, they don’t understand the world of rich people.
"Okay, Shirai, we just need the money, why do you care so much?" His companion Sakuma patted him on the shoulder, "Come here, have some turtle egg soup."
The turtle egg that had already broken its shell might have just been affected by their battle. Since it was broken, it would definitely not be able to hatch again, and it would be a waste to leave it alone, so they made a whole pot of turtle soup.
The fragrant turtle soup has no fishy smell like ordinary eggs, but only the freshness of high-quality seafood. The thick soup has a smooth and tender taste.
"You can't get this soup anywhere else no matter how much money you spend, only here!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The big pot of soup was enough not only for the four members of the hunting team, but also for the crew of the Sakura No. 4 whaling ship to drink to their heart's content.
Seeing the humans drinking turtle egg soup, Queen Totas, who had originally calmed down, roared in anger again.
But to no avail.
When humans are in danger, Ultraman will appear. But they are monsters, so it is natural for them to suffer any injustice.
Even if they are all creatures on Earth.
But they can't ask anyone for help. The only one they can pray to is the world itself.
So the world - the planet heard their prayers.
Ling also strolled in the sea, her feet in the waves, the water gently supporting her.
She walked up to King Totas and the Queen.
"sorry."
She said that this was an apology to Totas as a human being for the actions of a fellow human being.
Chapter 345: Hunting Turtles
King Totas's huge red eyes, like bronze bells, stared at the girl in front of him. She was wearing a pink long skirt with a light yellow gauze dress on the outside.
Unlike the lonely northern hemisphere, the southern hemisphere's sky is covered with the brilliant Milky Way. The starry sky of the Oron Island, which has not been polluted by humans, is dazzling and eye-catching.
The girl under the starry sky, that is a human. King Totas thought so, but he also felt that it was not.
The girl was apologizing to them in the name of human beings. King Totas could not understand human words, but he could understand her words.
Is it wrong for humans to prey on other creatures? Of course not, because all creatures do this. Herbivores prey on plants, and carnivores prey on animals. This is how life continues.
But hunting for other interests, or even for no benefit at all, just to satisfy some emotional catharsis, is something only humans would do.
The balance formed by the food chain is thus broken.
King and Queen Totas, they have lived on this island for thousands of years, and they don't need an apology.
So the special metal mesh that was wrapped around them suddenly broke.
Without any warning, the material that could not be cut even with a cutting machine or a high-energy laser just melted and broke into pieces.
King Totas didn't understand what was happening, and neither did the humans in the hunting party.
But it is a fact that King Totas and Queen Totas have regained their freedom.
So they stood up from the beach.
Kurosaki discovered that his previous estimation was not accurate. The monster was not fifty meters tall, but sixty meters tall.
Much higher than the highest hill on the island.
The freed turtles are naturally angry, especially when they see the remaining egg soup in the human pot.
The monster roared, and every step it took weighed tens of thousands of tons.
"Quick! Fire now! How is that possible? With the dosage of the anesthetic, he should not wake up for another two days!"
In addition to the special fishing nets, in order to safely bring the turtles back to Japan, they injected both turtles with large doses of anesthetics.
This is a dose that is lethal to ordinary animals.
But at this moment, King Totas showed no signs of being anesthetized.
"Run! Run!"
Because of the docility of turtles, they set a trap and anesthetized the turtles when the female turtles were laying eggs.
But facing the angry Turtle King and Queen, they had no power to resist except to run away.
At this time, another round particle was hatched by the turtle. But it was not a turtle egg, but a bright red particle, a high-intensity bomb.
The ball condensed from the special explosive substance secreted by King Totas' body will explode due to oxidation after being exposed to the air for a moment.
The power is no less than that of a high-yield missile.
