144: Chapter 144 Such a Fate, Swallowed in One Bite

"Surfing Mode!"

On the boundless, azure Pacific Ocean, Jiang Chen's small fishing boat was connected to ten Terracotta Warriors by high-energy particle beams. At this moment, he was issuing his command to the Tiger Talisman.

Swoosh!

Ten Horse Terracotta Warriors sprinted across the sea surface. Driven by the Earth's magnetic field, they were walking entirely on water, while the small fishing boat acted just like a surfboard, playing in Surfing Mode on the Pacific Ocean.

This Surfing Mode was defined by Jiang Chen.

Similar to skipping stones.

But it was much more stable and wouldn't launch out of the water.

The Horse Terracotta Warriors were also sailing at half the speed of sound.

"This Surfing Mode is top-tier enjoyment."

Jiang Chen laughed loudly.

He had already paused the power system of the small fishing boat. He discovered that the propulsion provided by the Horse Terracotta Warriors was just as smooth.

Even if a wave crashed against them from the front, these Horse Terracotta Warriors could move along with the waves, allowing the small fishing boat to surf smoothly.

"Floating Mode!" "Underwater Mode!" "20x Speed of Sound Mode!"

Jiang Chen then experienced two more modes in succession.

In Floating Mode, the ten Horse Terracotta Warriors dispersed in a circle, with the small fishing boat suspended in the middle, capable of hovering and moving in any direction.

Underwater Mode was mainly to hide the Horse Terracotta Warriors, making it look like the small fishing boat was moving on its own, when in reality, there were... ten big men underneath.

As for 20x the speed of sound... it was twice as fast as the Xuannu's limit of 10x the speed of sound, and its speed was simply terrifying.

"Stop, stop, stop!" Jiang Chen hurriedly told the Horse Terracotta Warriors to take a break.

As an S-sequence being, he found that he could fully withstand 20x the speed of sound, with only slight respiratory pressure.

But the small fishing boat was different. Even with the Carbon-9 molecular material, the small fishing boat was still creaking a bit.

"It seems this Carbon-9 molecular material still has room for improvement." "The clay used to make the Terracotta Warriors is quite good."

Jiang Chen set his sights on the clay on the bodies of the Horse Terracotta Warriors. Under 20x the speed of sound, they showed no reaction at all.

According to the knowledge Jiang Chen had obtained in his mind, this kind of clay was not an ordinary substance either.

However! The raw materials for this clay were something that the Qin Emperor's dispatched Immortal Iron Craftsmen had searched for a long time to find back then. He wondered if this material still existed on the modern Earth.

Just as Jiang Chen was testing the various modes of his ten-horse-towed boat on the sea surface, in the sky, and even underwater, one hundred nautical miles away, the 100-meter-long SS Thatcher was sailing on the sea.

The SS Thatcher was originally a retired United States warship. It previously belonged to the Pacific Fleet and was a destroyer. Later, it was retired and stayed in the harbor for a long time.

Ms. Thatcherong saw that the lighthouse was in its twilight years, and her heart was filled with anxiety. She always felt that the lighthouse's financial collapse could break out at any time. So, she converted her remaining US dollar assets.

Last time, because of leverage, she gambled on Future Auto and had already lost hundreds of billions of US dollars. Now, only a few tens of billions of US dollars remained.

However, these tens of billions of US dollars were still enough for her to buy retired warships, armed cruise ships, and helicopters. She even installed a small missile system.

And so. Around the SS Thatcher, there were four or five armed cruise ships. She was already prepared; once the East Land and the lighthouse started fighting, she would live a life like Tao Yuanming on the ocean.

"Fight, fight, it's best if you throw nuclear bombs at each other; only then will I consider returning to land."

At this moment, Ms. Thatcherong was lying on the deck, enjoying a sunbath. Her 'Tao Yuanming Fleet' was well-armed and had multiple supply ports around the world. Each resupply was enough to let her drift on the ocean for several months.

"Ms. Thatcherong!" "A major discovery!"

Just as Ms. Thatcherong had given up on rescuing her son and husband, waiting for the two great powers to mutually nuke each other, the butler in Tang-style clothing hurried over.

Ms. Thatcherong closed her eyes: "What major discovery? I have no interest anymore; I just want to retire."

"It's the pearl river 888! The radar shows it is right in front..." The butler in Tang-style clothing had just finished speaking when he discovered that Ms. Thatcherong had already appeared before his eyes.

Her originally dignified and elegant face was now filled with resentment.

"The pearl river 888?" Ms. Thatcherong followed the butler to the command room.

The butler in Tang-style clothing said: "Yes, the radar shows there is a fishing boat not far from us, and it has markings on its hull. Look, pearl river 888."

Ms. Thatcherong leaned in to look and frowned: "Why does this fishing boat..."

The characters "pearl river 888" were detected by the radar because they were not coated with yin-yang material. However, other parts could not be scanned.

Consequently, in Ms. Thatcherong's radar system, the pearl river 888 also appeared as a pixelated mess.

The butler in Tang-style clothing was also a bit puzzled. He explained: "Perhaps the pearl river 888 just looks like that?"

Currently, the SS Thatcher was still beyond visual range from the small fishing boat, and telescopes couldn't see it either. Therefore, they could only rely on the images returned by the radar to make a judgment. Normally, radar accuracy is very high. Unless it encounters military electromagnetic interference.

Therefore, Ms. Thatcherong quickly accepted this explanation. She squinted her eyes and said: "This damn small fishing boat caused my family to be trapped in prison. Since we are so fated to meet, let us send it on its way!"

"Pass the order down." "Launch the Ms. Thatcherong missile."

The butler in Tang-style clothing immediately nodded: "Yes!"

Whoosh. A minute later, the SS Thatcher's missile system activated. A missile launched from the bottom of the hull. It shot out of the water, following a parabolic trajectory, and flew toward the small fishing boat displayed on the radar.

"Madam, in an estimated two minutes, the target will be destroyed," the butler in Tang-style clothing said.

Ms. Thatcherong nodded! She picked up her red wine, elegantly swirling the glass, and quietly watched the radar display as the missile arced toward the small fishing boat.

Just as the missile was about to hit the small fishing boat, it suddenly detonated in mid-air, three miles away from the small fishing boat.

"The missile was attacked by an unknown energy source; target not hit," the radar system warned.

Ms. Thatcherong was stunned: "What's going on?"

The butler in Tang-style clothing was also completely confused: "Unknown energy? Could it be anti-missile defense? That's impossible; the radar didn't show anything..."

Bang! Suddenly, the SS Thatcher shook violently. The red wine in Ms. Thatcherong's hand splashed all over her.

Her face was filled with shock. While gripping the handrail inside, she looked in terror at the group of retired sailors rushing in from outside the command room: "What's that noise?"

"It's a supernatural biological entity from under the ocean, Madam! We need to leave this sea area immediately!" the sailors shouted.

The missile that had just been launched made too much noise. It seemed to have provoked the dissatisfaction of some sea beast beneath the ocean. Just moments ago, a giant sea fish had slammed into the hull of the SS Thatcher, causing violent tremors.

"A supernatural biological entity?" "What kind of supernatural biological entity?" Ms. Thatcherong was somewhat unwilling to just run away like this. She still wanted to continue launching missiles to send the small fishing boat to hell first.

However, the next second, before the sailors could speak, a massive sea fish weighing hundreds of tons with a rhinoceros horn flew out of the sea and slammed into the side of the deck.

Its massive size caused the deck of the long-retired warship to immediately emit a terrifying groan. The sounds of breaking, electrical arcing, and screaming were incessant.

"Oh, no! It's a Water Rhino Fish!" "It's that supernatural biological entity with a 100 million USD bounty from Mexico!" The butler in Tang-style clothing let out a desperate cry.

This was a supernatural biological entity of an unknown sequence ranked third on the bounty list. It last appeared in the Bermuda Triangle, and it was rumored that they had swallowed a Mexican warship. And now! It had actually appeared in the Pacific Ocean. And it had set its sights on the SS Thatcher!

"Quick, run!" Ms. Thatcherong crouched on the ground, also letting out a cry of terror. However, the entire warship was plunged into huge chaos and collisions. There was simply no way to escape this area.

Roar! Just as the SS Thatcher was being rammed to the point of breaking apart, the Water Rhino Fish opened its massive mouth and swallowed the SS Thatcher in one bite!
