Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-Seven
When the news of a new species of large marine animal - the sea dragon that can make people young again broke out, it caused a sensation far beyond just the previous sightings and attacks of the sea monster (now the sea dragon). The rich and powerful old men and women around the world, although they may not say so in their mouths, are absolutely at the forefront of humanity in action - the "Sea Dragon Research Association", "Sea Dragon Special Search Team" and other things that have emerged like bamboo shoots after a spring rain can serve as evidence. Even the old men in the Green Peace organization hypocritically established a "Protect Sea Dragon Action Team".
This time, the big rogue is once again at the forefront. The Chinese Ministry of Forestry immediately listed Bao Fu as a first-class protected animal, completely ignoring the fact that Bao Fu only appeared twice in the Bohai Sea. Directly designating part of the Bohai Sea as a protected area and habitat... Bao Fu's appearance has clearly replaced the "King of Selling Meng" in China's current animal protection list. The United States also unhesitatingly designated Alaska's Dragon Bay as a special protection zone, listing Bao Fu as an endangered species on the international list of endangered plants and animals. The old senators of Alaska and the US federal government passed the "Special Protection Act for Sea Dragons and Their Habitats" in the most efficient way... At the same time, many civilian organizations and companies invested money and equipment to establish numerous sea dragon research organizations - or capture teams...
Russia was not to be outdone and immediately established the Sea Dragon Reserve in the Far East, also headed by oligarchs and government. The UK and France were quiet - they didn't even try to make an effort...
The enthusiasm of the Japanese government is second only to China, the US and Russia, and even surpasses that of China and Russia in terms of investment - a large number of old men and women in Japan are watching...
Ba Fuhma, now swimming in the Kuroshio Current off the coast of Taiwan, with a deep trench below reaching 4000 meters. There are plenty of fish in the current, but Ba Fuhma doesn't feel like eating fish right now, "Meat! I want meat! I've had enough fish! This world is too fragile! It's making me be so careful not to use even a bit of my power... Forget it, today I'll just go take a stroll on Taiwan Island!"
Taiwan Island, Ah-bian is celebrating his election as president and starting to make money. Baifu landed near Kaohsiung after circling the southern tip of Taiwan Island. He swaggered along the beach in Kaohsiung, a group of typical Minnan people burning incense and kowtowing in the distance, the sound of "Hailong Wang... Mazu" drifting over from afar.
"What the...? Why are those guys in black suits and cars burning incense over there? What's their goal?" Baofu let out a loud roar that was audible to humans. Afterwards, Baofu's attention turned to the various half-finished products on the beach hut - the boss and his partners had already fled early in the morning. There were also large batches of fishing boats with extremely bold courage, heading towards the sea area behind where Baofu landed.
Ba Fu devoured the food he found, completely ignoring the helicopters that appeared in the sky and the fishing boats on the sea, as well as the trucks on land.
"A single drop of the Dragon King's blood can make a person regain their youth and live forever!!" Rumors spread quickly, now even "live forever" is being said... A large group of locals slowly closed in on Baifu.
"Roar!" The massive roar stirred up waves that seemed to be visible to the naked eye, and a group of people on the coast fell down in all directions. Ba Fu turned around, with half his body submerged in the sea. A blue glow flashed across his massive body, and the bravest fisherman on the nearest fishing boat started to smoke...
Before more people could approach, Ba Fu had already dived into the sea and disappeared.
South China Sea, Philippine Navy "Rajah Humabon" patrolling in waters near the Philippines.
"Damn Chinese!" Filipino soldiers on board said in unison upon seeing the Chinese fishermen working at the Spratly Islands from afar.
"Speed up, drive them away!"
Just as the old World War II destroyer was speeding away from the Chinese fishermen, billowing black smoke, a loud "BOOM!" shook the air and nearly all of the Filipino monkeys on board developed huge lumps on their heads - the old ship not only came to an abrupt stop but also jumped up before falling back into the sea.
"What's going on?! What's happening?!" The captain cried out, clutching his head.
Before anyone could respond, other mournful cries rose up, "The ship is sinking!!! Ah, the ship is sinking!!!" The entire old vessel emitted a teeth-aching "creaking" sound, and cracks began to appear on the steel plates in the middle of the hull. The sharp edges cut many of the damage control personnel who were trying to make repairs. Before the captain could give an order, the soldiers below spontaneously shouted out: "Abandon ship!! Abandon ship!!" as they lowered the lifeboats.
The captain was so angry that he became dizzy, not only because before he could give the order, these greedy and timid guys had already taken matters into their own hands without any military bearing at all, but also because they seemed to have completely forgotten about rescuing the high-ranking Captain and other officer gentlemen.
But now is not the time to pursue this matter, the most important thing is to quickly escape from this broken ship.
As the cracking sound grew louder, the sailors who had escaped first began to pray to God - they saw the culprit responsible for this situation. A huge hole appeared in the middle of the ship's hull, and a giant sea monster with hard shells and protruding spines was seen, its spines still tearing through the steel plates of the ship's hull, the keel of the entire ship had been broken, the fore and aft sections of the ship were already flipping left and right, the upper structure twisted like a tangled mess. Those who knew knew that this was the result of the ship's own gravity, while the ignorant Filipino monkeys thought it was the power of the sea dragon - so they had to pray to God...
The ship sank at an incredible speed, and in just a few minutes it broke into two pieces and disappeared into the waves of the South China Sea. On the surface of the water, only a few lifeboats were left floating, with some officials like the captain on board. However, whether they were officials or soldiers, they all had pale faces as they prayed to God - would that big thing in the water eat people?
"Who wants to eat the South Asian monkey! Just kill it." Bo Fu let out a loud roar at the bottom of the water, and then he started teasing the lifeboat on the surface with his tail.
"This monkey really can't take a joke! It's only been a few minutes!" Ba Fu muttered to himself as the bodies that had started sinking began to sink further - in just a few short minutes, all of the lifeboats had become splintered fragments on the sea, and the people floating in the water had lost their lives in the electric shock from Ba Fu's "little game".
The Chinese fishermen in the distance had no way of seeing what was happening here, they could only see through binoculars that a Philippine warship had an accident and sank, at most they saw a large number of Filipino sailors climbing onto lifeboats, but the lifeboats also seemed to have problems. So the Chinese fishermen came over to prepare for rescue operations, while using the radio to call the maritime department.
Chinese fishermen did not even salvage a living Filipino monkey... ...but salvaged several corpses. The Philippine Navy had received the distress call from the captain of the guard ship, but when their small broken boat arrived, Chinese fishermen had already withdrawn from this sea area.
Bo Fu happily did some warm-up exercises, and then he majestically approached the Dan Huang Island, preparing to make a big move.
