Chapter 77 The tip of the iceberg

Ingvar led the way with a face full of self-blame, and said:

"It's all my fault. I found something wrong when I first observed the Sky Eye Lake, but I didn't expect that the thing in the lake could actually drag people into the water."

There are nearly ten lakes and rivers of various sizes on the Sea King Island.

The largest river almost spans the entire Sea King Island, and the center of the river is like an eye.

So it is also called the Central Lake, the Central River, or the Sky Eye Lake.

Because when Ingvar was in Slave Bay, he was responsible for digging canals and irrigating the land for the slave owners' estates.

So Newgate let him take charge of this matter and gave him 300 people, uh, now it's 298.

At that time, Ingvar found something very wrong when he was observing the terrain.

It stands to reason that the Sky Eye Lake is so big, there should be a lot of animals drinking water around it.

But the animals on the island would rather go to some small streams to compete for water resources than drink water in the Sky Eye Lake.

This shows that there is something terrible in the water!

But at that time, Ingvar's idea was, is there anything more terrible than humans?

So he didn't pay much attention to this matter. It wasn't until two workers were attacked this morning that he realized the seriousness of the matter.

Perhaps the things in the water are much larger and more aggressive than he imagined.

Soon Newgate came to the No. 7 canal. According to the plan, there will be no private farmland on Neptune Island. All farmland belongs to the royal family, and then the royal family will hire people to cultivate the farmland.

The first state-owned grain production base is set to have 490,000 mu, or 326 square kilometers of land. After that, canals will be dug along Tianyan Lake to divert 49 branch streams to irrigate the land.

The accident happened in the recently dug No. 7 tributary, which had an accident when the water was finally passed.

At this time, the scene of the incident had been circled by the law enforcement team, and the surrounding crowd was full of melon-eating people.

This kind of thing can't be concealed on Neptune Island. Melons spread much faster than government orders.

The crowd consciously made way for Newgate. He came to the front. There was no trace of anything useful at the scene, only a broken hand was left.

Newgate looked for a long time but couldn't figure out what was going on, but the crowd around him all looked at the oldest man on the island expectantly, hoping that Newgate could give a definite answer.

Newgate's face was not very good. It would be strange if he could see what was going on with just one hand.

Although he was the oldest on the island, his knowledge might not be as good as some of the previous senior slaves.

At the critical moment, he suddenly remembered that there was some content about the origin of Atlantis culture in the book "My World" written by Jack.

So Newgate immediately showed a little fear and said loudly:

"This is a water monster. Look at this broken hand. It is obvious that when the water monster swallowed this poor man whole, he instinctively stretched out his hand to call for help, but in the end only a broken hand was left."

Newgate's words only made people believe three points, but his exaggerated expression and body movements made people believe seven points.

Although there were true gods in the game of thrones before the runaway system harvested the gods, most people in the world are still atheists.

Especially in the continent of Essos, most nobles only believe in the money in their hands, not the ethereal and illusory gods.

Especially in the era of magic exhaustion before the appearance of the red comet and the dragon, otherwise the wizards of Qarth would not be called charlatans.

At that time in Qarth, Zaro and the wizards were ridiculed as nouveau riche and charlatans.

Most people are not interested in things like water monsters in old grandmother's stories, but now that the facts are in front of them, Newgate made everyone believe his words.

But then someone asked Newgate how to solve it.

Newgate blinked his eyes, and then said: "This, I have to go back and study it to see if His Majesty the Sea King left any way to deal with it when he left."

Although Newgate's ability is average, he is absolutely loyal to Jack.

On the island of the sea king, many people have never seen the so-called His Majesty the Sea King.

But Newgate would praise Jack whenever he had the chance, which led to the people on the island being very curious and respectful of Jack.

When the people who were eating melons heard Newgate say this, they all prayed that the Sea King left a way to deal with it.

Newgate quickly promised that even if the Sea King did not leave a countermeasure, he would invite the Sea King back to take charge of the situation.

After a while, the crowd felt bored and left one after another.

Newgate hurried back to his room and took out the "My World".

After scanning the catalog, he finally found his goal under the title of "Culture" - sacrificial culture.

If he remembered correctly, he should have seen the content of sacrificing water monsters in the sacrificial culture section.

However, after reading carefully, Newgate shook his head in disappointment.

Because he found that the only function of sacrificing water monsters was to stabilize people's hearts, and the premise was that there were no water monsters in the river.

But there was really a water monster in Tianyan Lake, and it even ate two people just now.

And Newgate believed that after the water monster ate people this time, it would definitely continue to look for targets.

Thinking of this, Newgate quickly issued an order to suspend the excavation of the river tributaries. In addition to the necessary drinking water, the number of times to go to the river should be reduced as much as possible.

After thinking about it, Newgate couldn't think of any good solution. He could only write another letter to Jack and beg Jack to come back quickly.

At this time, Korakshu fell from the sky by the Tianyan Lake.

He had just captured five monkeys. After a full meal, he was going to drink some water and go back to rest.

However, just after drinking two sips, a black shadow suddenly appeared under the water.

Korakshu reacted very quickly and immediately leaned back to distance himself. In the blink of an eye, the water surface suddenly exploded.

A monster that looked like a lizard broke through the water surface, opened its big mouth full of sharp teeth and bit the air.

Of course, if Korakshu hadn't reacted quickly, this bite would definitely hurt him.

Even the slender neck might be bitten directly into two sections.

When the monster fell heavily to the ground, Korakshu could see the monster's appearance clearly.

The whole thing looked like a big lizard, with teeth turned outward, as if it had no lips, and a pair of huge fins behind its head.

The forelimbs are like ducks, with thin membranes between the five toes, and the hind limbs are completely transformed into long webbed feet like oars.

The body is six meters long, twice as long as Korakshu.

But the monster doesn't seem to be good at moving on land. After failing to hit it, it prepared to retreat to the water.

Korakshu looked ferocious. As a famous cruel dragon in Game of Thrones, Korakshu would never let the monster go so easily.
