Kotaro, who was skydiving with him, disappeared, and at the same time, a bright light appeared in the sky.
Taro appeared in mid-air and kicked the crab monster away.
Chapter 360: The Glory of the Fishing Master
The monster landed on the beach and residents and tourists of Hachijo Island were evacuated urgently.
But this is an island in the middle of the ocean, surrounded by sea water, and the rocky soil is not suitable for building an underground shelter.
Although there are refuge facilities on the island, they are only air-raid shelters more than ten meters underground, with low protection levels. They can withstand aircraft bombings during human wars, but they can crush monsters weighing tens of thousands of tons with just one step.
The port was crowded with ships leaving the port, even blocking the waterway. But there were still not enough ships that could go out to sea, and the only way to escape was to contact the surrounding islands for rescue.
The docks were in chaos and stampedes were common.
Kuroshio Island, 20 kilometers away, also issued an evacuation alert because the distance was too close.
Compared to Hachijo Island, Kuroshio Island has almost no large ships that can leave the port, and being stuck on the island is even more unbearable. Whenever a monster attacks, there is almost no escape there.
Fortunately, no monsters have landed there so far.
Until the light appeared in the sky and the Ultra Warriors showed up, the panic of fleeing was paused. People regained their senses and the port finally returned to order.
"Taro! Ultraman Taro is here!"
Nothing could be more reassuring than this.
Taro kicked the monster back into the sea. The sea was boiling, and tens of thousands of tons of seawater were displaced, causing huge waves, which soon subsided.
Taro knew that in order to reduce casualties, he had to lure the monster to a distant place for the fight.
In the distance is the vast ocean, and the battle in the sea is a home advantage for the monsters of marine creatures.
In the past, Taro would have been afraid and suspected that he might suffer in the sea, but now he is no longer afraid of the sea.
The sea is not hostile; it does not reject light.
Teacher Aguru... Although Taro had never called him teacher, in fact, Aguru did teach him a lot.
"Deputy Captain, what should we do with that cell-destroying bomb? It looks like it hasn't exploded and is still on the seabed. Should we salvage it?"
Because it didn't hit the monster, the bomb was buffered by the water and sank into the mud on the seabed without being triggered. But it was an unstable time bomb. Once it exploded, although it might not affect the shore, many creatures in the sea would suffer.
"Of course, but we don't have salvage equipment, so let's contact headquarters first. Where's Kotaro?"
The three of them went skydiving together, but only Kotaro was missing. Could he have fallen into the sea?
"Don't worry about him." Bei Dao said, "That guy can swim across the strait. This won't be a problem for him."
Kotaro, who was cared about by Araki and Kitajima, jumped into the sea with the monster.
In order to get as far away from Hachijo Island as possible, Taro lifted the monster into the sky and threw it far into the deep sea dozens of kilometers away.
Then he also dived into the sea.
The sea here is less than 1,500 meters deep, and it is a pitch-black midnight zone without any light at all.
In such a deep environment, human submarines would be squeezed into scrap metal due to the huge water pressure.
Of course, water pressure will also have an effect on monsters and Ultraman.
A water pressure of 15 million Pascals means that every square meter will be under more than 1,000 tons of pressure.
Taylor struggled to stand up, taking heavy steps, each step weighing a thousand pounds and stirring up the mud on the seabed.
He had seen clearly before that the weapon the crab used to attack the octopus monster was a pair of claws. As long as he cut off the claws, the battle should be much easier.
But it is very dangerous. The claws can easily cut the monster into pieces, and of course they can also threaten Taro.
Crabs seem to be very slow, always crawling sideways leisurely, but in fact, when they attack, their speed is amazing.
Ultraman approached step by step, and the monster remained motionless, waiting for the moment to suddenly attack.
Taro suddenly thought of Aguru who happened not long ago. At that time, the other party walked towards the monster with one hand behind his back.
He suddenly understood that Aguru was not underestimating his opponent. He was just confident that he could seize the fleeting moment. He put one hand behind his back because this posture was more suitable for being able to respond at any time.
It must be so.
Accept the ocean, don't reject it.
Sure enough, the monster moved at that moment, but Taro was faster!
Taro passed by the monster and in a flash, the two crab claws were cut off intact.
it is as expected.
Just now, Taro clearly felt the flow of the ocean current. Compared with vision and hearing, the water current itself allowed him to grasp the monster's movements more clearly.
It is confirmed that the sea can indeed be used as a weapon. As long as you feel it carefully, you will get a response.
The deep sea is not scary, but rather the cradle of life. Billions of lives on Earth have walked out from here, from the ocean to the land.
The monster that had lost its two claws was no longer a threat. Taro took a step back and gathered energy with both hands.
"Stree..."
Before he could finish his words, a huge force hit Taro's chest, interrupting his skill.
His entire body was thrown backwards and fell heavily. He felt a sharp pain in his chest where it was hit, and even faint light particles flew around. He was injured, and the energy lamp began to flicker.
There was no sunlight at all in the dark seabed, so Taro could not get any energy replenishment, and his energy consumption was even more aggravated.
Then he saw clearly that it was still the monster's claws that hit him. The claws that had been cut off had grown back again and were even used as weapons.
The monster's claws can be regenerated infinitely!
It is incomprehensible and goes against the common sense of life. Such a thing has never been heard of.
No, Taro had heard of it, but that was a super beast, a biological weapon transformed by the Yabo people, not an ordinary life form. So this monster was not an ordinary life form either, and had been transformed?
Before Taro could think, the monster clamped his hands with its two pincers. It came in front of Taro and spit out white foam from its mouth.
Because of his standing position, his face was the first to be affected. The foam was not diluted by the sea water in the deep sea and was still extremely sticky, sticking to Taro's face like special effects glue.
The highly corrosive foam made Taro feel as if his face was burned by fire.
Then it was all over his body. The foam in the monster's mouth seemed endless and soon wrapped Taro up like a snowman.
The energy light beeps rapidly.
He was too careless. He must not let his guard down before victory was confirmed. His father had warned him long ago, but he always forgot this in actual combat.
The monster raised its sharp claws and was about to strike, which might be fatal. So in the depths of the universe, a giant of light who always kept this place in mind, held the "Blue Mother" in one hand and was about to open a space tunnel leading to the earth.
Mother of Ultra has seen all of Taro's experiences and is pleased with his growth. Although she knows that Taro has an 'Ultra Heart' that allows him to be reborn even after suffering fatal injuries, as a mother she is always worried about her child.
But the passage did not open because the monster stopped moving.
A harpoon was stuck in the seabed, old and worn, about two meters long, and looked like the one used by ordinary fishermen on their fishing boats to eat in the sun and rain.
It was this harpoon that stopped the monster from committing violence.
It was a little confused, not quite understanding what this was. It seemed like a threat, but also like an attraction.
Like an ignorant child, the monster tentatively touched the harpoon with its claws. At this moment, as if it were a natural outcome, some ancient resentment belonging to the old gods flowed out of the monster's body and merged into the harpoon.
Resentment is also a curse. It is what maintains the monster's form. Without the support of the curse, it can no longer maintain the appearance of a monster.
It turned out to be a lot of small crabs, and the monster's huge body was made up of these crabs. At a depth of 1,500 meters under the sea, such shallow-water crabs should have been crushed into meat paste in an instant, but the area protected by the harpoon allowed the crabs to swim leisurely on the seabed.
Tianxiegui felt it was a pity that the eldest lady didn’t want to eat crabs, otherwise it would have been a great harvest.
Of course, he knew very well that even if the young lady wanted to eat so much, three or five would be enough.
If you take what you need, you will have endless blessings. If you are greedy, your blessings will disappear.
The white foam on Taro's body also disappeared. He was a little surprised to see the Amagi, but not very surprised.
He had seen Tian Xiegui. He had seen this old man when he went to Oshima Manor. On weekdays, he was either working in the fields or cleaning the main house, just like an ordinary servant.
At that time, he felt that the other party was not like an ordinary person. Now it seems that he is indeed not, and it is even hard to say whether he is a "human".
Crabs pile up in mountains on the sea floor.
"These crabs are the monster, but they are just ordinary creatures. The enemy who really controls them has been eliminated by the eldest lady." Tianxiegui said.
Taro knew that the 'young lady' he was talking about was Gaia.
So the one he was fighting so hard against was actually just a puppet? It was really discouraging to think like that, and what was even more depressing was that he almost didn't even defeat a puppet.
I used to think I had become more powerful, so was it just my illusion?
In fact, after Watatsumi was wiped out by the eldest lady, Tianxiegui could turn these monsters back to their original form at any time. But anyway, he saw Taro's fighting spirit and did not disturb him.
All other monsters in the sea have long returned to their original state, leaving only that one monster.
Of course, it's not that Tian Xiegui is more powerful than Taro. He just borrowed the authority given by the eldest lady, and that authority came from the will of the planet. Cleaning the sea is what the eldest lady ordered him to do. It's actually no different from cleaning the living room of the manor at ordinary times.
He does the same job.
On the other side, on the sea, ZAT brought a salvage ship.
It was Nanyuan who was originally driving the salvage boat, but the driver's seat was taken away by Kitajima.
"I say Bei Dao, can you really do it?"
"What are you talking about? Everyone knows that I, Kitajima Tetsu, am also a fishing expert!"
He could accept others questioning his fighting skills, but they could not question his fishing ability.
"But cell-destroying bombs are different from fish," Nanyuan said.
Bei Dao didn't feel any different. When he went fishing, he often caught more than just fish, but also rubber shoes, glass jars, and umbrellas.
Is there any difference between cell destroyer bombs?
There really is a difference.
While operating the salvage arm deeper underwater, Bei Dao had to admit that this was indeed much more difficult than he had imagined.
Be careful not to trigger the bomb.
"What? Did you see it?" Araki urged.
"Come on, come on."
He dealt with it casually with his mouth, but the water was actually turbid and the optical lens did not capture anything like a bomb.
