章 271: A Narrow Escape

Is that a formidable alligator lurking in the depths?

Such an enormous reptile, reminiscent of a crocodile of epic proportions!

Sun Zhou was taken aback, its eyes widening as it drew closer to inspect the creature. Beyond any doubt, it was an immense crocodile, its length estimated to be no less than seventy meters based on its visual assessment.

Jiang Botao, the first officer beside Sun Zhou, seemed to sense something amiss and asked, "Old Sun, what's troubling you?"

Sun Zhou passed it the binoculars, its tone grave as it declared, "Look in the direction of two o'clock, roughly 600 meters away. There lies an enormous crocodile gliding upon the water's surface."

As Jiang Botao received the binoculars, thoughts of a crocodile venturing into the open sea hardly struck it as extraordinary. It failed to comprehend its significance even if it were a colossal saltwater crocodile.
