In 1851, an American whaling ship killed a 30-meter-long giant beast in the South Pacific, and then the crew cut off its giant to boil oil, but strangely, the ship has not been able to return as scheduled, and its whereabouts have become mysterious!

As early as many years ago, the legend of the ocean python was popular in the United States, and everyone was full of curiosity about its existence, and the earliest record of this python was in 1638;

At that time, near the coast of New England in the United States, sailors came out and saw a giant python with a head twice the size of its body, which at first glance looked like a rattlesnake, but if you looked closely, it didn't look like it, because its size was too large.

At that time, many people were curious about this mysterious and strange python, but no one has seen this legendary python since.

In 1851, a whaling ship called "Mononga Hella" in the United States, with rich experience in marine hunting, in the face of this legend, the old crew who had traveled with this ship dozens of times came forward, saying that they wanted to see the style of this giant beast and promised to take it!

After getting ready, they decided to go to the depths of the ocean to find the python while hunting whales, and in less than two days at sea, they had already caught two whales to boil whale oil, and nearly half of the task was completed, and they chose to dock in the ocean to rest.

That night, someone pointed out that they saw a black shadow, but they were not sure whether it was a whale or a giant python, and when they used the light to illuminate, they found that the unknown creature had sunk to the bottom of the sea, and then the group did not take it seriously;

In the early hours of the morning, the ship swayed, everyone was awakened, and the watchman who was watching from the platform shouted: "What is that, it's terrible!" "The crew who heard the sound grabbed the telescope one after another, and a huge beast appeared on the sea, and suddenly the captain pointed out that this is a giant python!

All the crew became so excited that they picked up their whaling tools, and because of their absolute experience, they quickly launched the capture of the python, and several crew members put down several dinghies and leaned towards the python with spears and ropes.

When they surrounded the python, the python immediately reacted to the danger of approaching, its tail flicked on a dinghy, causing the boat to almost capsize, in order not to let the python run away, the crew tacitly stabbed Mao to the python's body;

And quickly used the rope on the steel fork to wrap the python, the python wanted to dive into the deep sea, but the body had already been firmly dragged by this group of experienced crew, when its body was dragged, the rest of the crew frantically stabbed it with spears in their hands.

These assassinations lasted for 5 minutes, and the python eventually lost its breath, because it was too large, the crew cut its body and head, and after separating a few pieces, they boiled out 10 barrels of fine oil, which made the crew feel that they were ready to make a big deal.

However, on the day of the return of the Mononga Haila, it was never returned as scheduled, during which the United States sent many personnel to look for their traces, and finally failed to find the traces of their ships.

Instead, some floating personal belongings were found around, among which the only proof of what happened on the ship at that time was an envelope diary left by a crew member in a drifting bottle, which detailed the entire process of hunting giant pythons at that time.

The diary came to an abrupt end on the third day after capturing the python, which was the day of their return, and many people speculated that they were retaliated by the rest of the python and eventually devoured to death;

However, some people believe that they may have encountered a storm that eventually caused the boat to capsize, and many people maintain different views on the whereabouts of the ship.
