I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 98: The Poet and the Giant Beast

An unexpected incident did not occur.

Yas quickly swam to the person’s side, placing him under his arm and bringing him to the bottom of the Gelin.

After saving him, Yas wrung out his clothes and wasn’t even out of breath.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The young man knelt on the ground, coughing violently.

He seemed to have swallowed quite a bit of seawater just now.

He looked around twenty, with a youthful face that gave an impression of clear foolishness at first glance.

Or perhaps it was innocence.

"What happened?"

At this moment, Lina also heard the commotion and came out.

She frowned when she saw the young man on the deck and quickly walked over to gently pat his back.

"Yas just rescued him from the sea."

Rogel shrugged.

Lina examined him briefly.

At this point, he gradually recovered and looked at the three people in front of him.

"Cough... thank you for saving me."

"Phew, I almost became fish food..."

He was still a bit shaken.

Then, he tried to stand up.

"Phew... thank you again, my kind and brave saviors. My name is Kadi, a minstrel."

"Now I’ve become a castaway."

Kadi looked at his drenched clothes and smiled wryly.

"It seems you’ve encountered quite a bit of trouble, but you should be safe for now."

Rogel motioned for him to come inside for a chat and gave Yas a look to keep an eye on the ship.

In the room, Lina handed Kadi a bowl of warm soup.

After a brief introduction, Rogel learned the reason for Kadi’s misfortune.

The legendary ocean giant beast "Moqueto."

Moqueto is considered a gigantic mythical creature with massive and sharp reefs growing on its back. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Some people believe that when ships encounter accidents, it’s not due to hidden reefs but rather Moqueto.

It often appears in... novels and poetry.

Many of this world’s novelists often attribute the blame of "reef crashes" and "shipwrecks" to this legendary mysterious giant beast.

So generally, no one would believe someone saying "I really saw Moqueto."

"Although it’s kind of absurd, I indeed saw it with my own eyes..."

"Damn, it’s as big as a moving mountain."

Fear lingered in Kadi’s eyes.

"Let me tell you, Captain Rogel, you have no idea how scared I was. When I fell from the ship, I tried hard to open my eyes in the water and saw its massive body. My God, it was terrifying. The merchant ship I was on seemed like a toy. It just moved in the water and sank our ship..."

Kadi spoke a lot, and once he started talking, he kept divulging his experiences to Rogel and the others.

Rogel and Lina exchanged glances.

Goodness, this person certainly has a strong heart.

As he got more animated, Kadi even stood up excitedly, trying to describe the scene with gestures.

After a while, he finally stopped, still relishing his tales.

"So, according to you, the giant beast ’Moqueto’ should be nearby?"

Unfortunately, the Dark Sea Hunter was still in metamorphosis; otherwise, Rogel would have thought about letting it explore the ocean to find this beast Kadi spoke of.

Seeing it with his own eyes wouldn’t be bad either.

Hearing Rogel’s words, Kadi immediately tensed up.

"Yeah, this big guy should still be around here!"

"Heavens, please don’t let it appear near me again..."

Kadi hurriedly prayed.

Boom!

As Kadi prayed, a sudden thunderclap, along with the Gelin jolting as if it had collided with a behemoth.

"Ah! My heavens..."

Kadi was startled, his legs giving out as he collapsed to the floor, his eyes filled with fear.

Lina supported Mira, her face also solemn.

No way?!

Speak of the devil?

Rogel felt a jolt in his heart and hurriedly left the room for the deck.

"Yas, what’s going on!"

Rogel quickly inquired about the situation.

"Over there!"

Yas pointed with one hand while steering with the other.

Rogel looked in the direction he indicated.

Amidst the gloomy sea, with waves rolling, and rain hitting down, a creature resembling a turtle surfaced briefly before submerging again.

[Brahma Turtle]

[Type: Creature]

[Quality: Boss]

[Level: 13]

[Tier: Common]

[Explanation: A large marine turtle species, possessing a huge body, generally reaching about over twenty meters in length, gentle in temperament, doesn’t like to move, very lazy.]

In Rogel’s vision, this Brahma Turtle seemed to be fleeing for its life, paddling frantically, causing the surrounding waters to churn.

Was it fleeing for its life?

Rogel suddenly realized a crucial point.

If there was an incredibly terrifying predator chasing it, then even in its laziness, it would muster all its strength to escape.

"Damn, God, it’s it! Moqueto!"

"Mr. Rogel, look over there!"

At this time, Kadi also rushed out, instantly noticing the distant anomaly, and shouted anxiously.

Everyone turned to look.

Only to see between the dark sea and the ominous clouds, there stood what appeared to be a stone island like a volcano.

And the waters around it churned eerily.

As if a colossal creature was swimming below.

By now, even Rogel and others could not deny this fact.

This was an ocean giant beast—Moqueto!

"Yas! Turn left!"

Rogel, viewing it in True Perspective, saw this scene and felt a chill run down his spine.

There was no need to see the entire creature.

The towering stone island alone could make one feel suffocated as if the sky was being obscured.

[Reef Mountain at Sea—Moqueto]

[Type: Creature]

[Quality: ?]

[Level: ?]

[Tier: ?]

[Explanation: A giant beast carrying a massive reef mountain on its back, usually dormant in the ocean, moving once every ten years, each awakening is the reenactment of legends!]

The crew of the Gelin began to turn, trying to leave this dangerous area before Moqueto’s stone island arrived.

Meanwhile, Kadi swallowed nervously.

"Oh my God..."

"It seems this giant beast is not planning to easily let a poor minstrel like me go..."

"...I should have a pen and a book. Minstrel Kadi may perish in the jaws of a giant beast, but this scene should be left on paper or in a message in a bottle..."

While Kadi was overwhelmed by the giant beast’s presence, a white figure beside him startled him once more.

"Heavens, what is that? Undead?"

The Bone Spirit summoned by Rogel also started helping.

"Minstrel! Now is not the time for laments. If you don’t want to die at sea, hurry up and help!"

Rogel shouted loudly.

Hearing this, Kadi suddenly snapped back to reality.

"Oh, right, yes, I shouldn’t just give up like this. At the very least, I should struggle bravely."

"Mr. Rogel, let me help..."

Kadi rushed over.

Before finishing his words, he saw Rogel transforming into a gray mist rushing to the sail ropes, gulping once more.

"Oh God, oh God, I must be crazy or dreaming..."

He muttered to himself while helping out.

The day’s experiences were overly bizarre for him, a minstrel who had just recently ventured out to sea.
