Chapter 78 Tom Was Eaten
Tom finally threw the crab into the bucket and kept it there temporarily. Then he picked up the net and went into the water, ready to catch more crabs and cook them in a pot.
Mr. Tang never waits until tomorrow to take revenge - unless he cannot win the fight.
Altria, whose style has become cute and silly, lets Rui Mengmeng hold her hands to learn how to swim. The bored Zhang Da also chooses to go and catch some shrimps, crabs and shells with Tom.
Tom is really a swimming master. In addition to basic methods such as breaststroke and backstroke, he can also imitate the slow drifting of turtles, and imitate various fishes to swing their bodies forward. Tom's body is more flexible than a snake and can support him to complete various difficult movements.
Zhang Da also followed behind Tom wearing swimming goggles, intending to help, but found that he could not keep up with Tom's movements in the water at all, so he had to fish on his own while watching Tom's performance.
About ten minutes later, Zhang Da was also surprised to find that his dear Tom was so focused on catching crabs and picking up shells that he didn't even take a breath!
He didn't even notice that he was staring at Tom underwater for ten minutes without even taking a breath.
When the small net bag was full, Tom felt that he could hold his breath only for a limited time, so he covered his mouth and floated up quickly. When he reached the shore, he jumped around with his head tilted, and patted his ears with his hands to let the water flow out of the other ear.
I don’t know whether there was water in his ears or in his brain.
Tom poured all his catch into the bucket, and when he felt that there was almost enough for a pot of cooking, he put down the net bag and picked up the fishing rod to prepare for fishing.
Tom threw the hook far away and there was no movement for a long time.
Tom was not in a hurry. He put on a pair of sunglasses and lay on the beach chair, sipping juice from time to time, looking very comfortable.
Tom placed the surfboard beside him where he could easily reach it, and he was looking forward to going surfing when there were suitable waves.
Zhang Da, who was disliked for his ugly swimming style, decided to learn other styles. Relying on his good physical strength, he tossed around in the sea by himself.
Looking at Altria and Rui Mengmeng who were practicing swimming, and then looking at Tom who was enjoying himself, Zhang Da also had a bold idea - why not pretend that a big fish was hooked and let Tom catch it once, and see if he could catch himself?
This idea was not put into practice in time because there was movement on the sea, and waves became increasingly dense and turbulent.
This seemed to be a sign of a big wave, and Zhang Da quickly rushed to the beach, fearing that he would be washed onto the beach.
Altria held on to her swimming ring tightly, and drifted towards the shore with Rui Mengmeng in a daze.
Only Tom became excited. Wasn't this the big wave he had been waiting for?
Tom picked up the surfboard and rushed to the sea. The sunglasses he was wearing remained in the original position due to "inertia" and spun a few times before falling on the chair.
By this time Tom was already lying on the surfboard, paddling with both hands to get closer to the center of the wave.
When he felt the time was right, Tom turned around, put his feet on the surfboard, and tried to keep his balance.
Then, as he expected, the sea water lifted him and his surfboard up. Tom happily struck several handsome poses on the surfboard.
But Tom soon realized something was wrong because his position had not moved from beginning to end.
Bending down hesitantly to look down, Tom happened to meet the eyes of the sea beast below.
It turned out that there was no big wave at all, but a large sea monster emerging from the water!
The sea monster looks like a giraffe overall, but its mouth is full of sharp teeth, and one of its eyes is bigger than Tom's body.
At this time, the sea beast's eyes rolled up, and its gaze was fixed on the small thing above its head. Its face showed a ferocious look, and it could go berserk at any time.
Tom stared at the sea monster under his feet for three seconds, raised his surfboard, slapped it on the top of the sea monster's head, and then ran away , unconsciously using the air to gain momentum.
The sea monster that looked like a giraffe had a red bump on its head that was bigger than Tom's body. Of course, it was insignificant compared to its huge body, but the pain still angered it, and it opened its bloody mouth and bit Tom in the air.
"Tom!" Zhang Da, who was heading back to the shore, subconsciously turned around and swam twice in Tom's direction, but he immediately realized that something was wrong. Even if he went over, he probably wouldn't be able to beat him, so he immediately turned around and shouted, "Altria!"
In fact, he didn't need to shout, because Altria had already jumped out of the swimming ring, stepped barefoot on the sea surface, made , and ran quickly towards Tom.
But it was too late. Altria and Tom were too far apart, and the sea beast was too close to Tom. Moreover, this sea beast, which looked like a giraffe, had a very long neck. Poor Tom could not run out of its attack range and was swallowed in one bite.
Although he thought Tom would not die, Zhang Da still felt a pang in his heart and swam over faster.
Altria was also a little nervous, but not panicked. She had just swallowed it and there was still hope!
"Haa~" Altria jumped high, swung the sword with both hands and slashed hard at the base of the sea monster's neck.
A spray of blood spurted out, and the giraffe-like sea monster screamed. Its long neck was broken at the root, and Altria half-knelt on the sea monster's back.
At this time, an interesting thing happened. Perhaps because the sea beast had just finished swallowing , a small bulge slid down its throat and finally reached the broken neck.
A kitten covered with mucus fell out, and then the neck of the sea monster fell into the water with a splash and floated on the surface of the sea.
Tom stopped in mid-air without giving Newton any face, with a confused expression on his face. He spread his hands and looked outside the screen, as if asking what was going on.
To him, the experience just now was probably just like riding a slide, right?
Zhang Da finally swam to Tom's side and caught Tom who was slowly floating down. He first checked whether Tom was missing any limbs, and then put him into the water with disgust to wash off the mucus on his body.
Altria and Rui Mengmeng also gathered together and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
Tom waved his hands and feet innocently. The unscrupulous owner's behavior reminded him of the people who were washed like clothes at noon. He was afraid of being hung up.
Of course Zhang Da was not that cruel. He just turned Tom over and over to see if he was clean.
Although sea water is not suitable for bathing, it is better than being covered in the saliva of sea beasts.
“Ah… We’re saved!!”
It was an unfamiliar voice. Everyone stopped and looked in the direction where the voice came from:
A small figure jumped out from the broken neck of the sea monster, drew a beautiful parabola in the air, and landed on...Tom's head.
So Tom, who was held by Zhang Daye with both hands , was thrown into the water with a bang, and that figure just replaced Tom's place.
The three of them stared blankly at the object that suddenly fell into Zhang Daye's hand - although it was a little smaller, the upper body was a human and the lower body was a fish:
"Mermaid!?" *3
