A few hours later, Philip sprang up and alighted on a colossal flounder. His arm muscles tightened as he seized its fin, yanking it upward with raw determination.
The flounder, sensing an unwelcome passenger, shook its body vigorously, attempting to dislodge Philip from its back. Yet, Philip remained undeterred and clung to the creature like a determined slug. He thrust his arms straight into its body and kicked the flounder's underside with rhythmic precision.
Each kick sent tremors through the flounder, causing it to descend to the seabed out of sheer exhaustion. Seizing the opportunity, Philip intensified his attack and drilled his arms deeper until his upper body was ensconced in the flounder's internals.
