Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 17: Giant Ship in the Rain

Su Wang didn't care about the appearance of many black iron-level fish.

Even if there was, it wouldn't be worth it in such heavy rain.

But the allure of special and rare fish is hard to resist.

When it comes to the value of special and rare fish, Su Wang knows better than anyone else.

"Let's go out and fish for a while. Worst case scenario is that we get soaked."

After making a decision,
Su Wang took off his shirt and planned to go out with his bare chest to avoid getting soaked and having nothing to keep him dry and warm.

When I got outside, the torrential rain soaked my whole body in an instant.

Su Wang didn't have time to think about it. He stopped the vehicle temporarily, quickly took out the fishing rod and put a piece of sandfin fish meat on it.

He walked to the side of the boat and threw out the silver hook.

As the silver hook fell into the huge waves, Su Wang's gaze also turned to the surging waves.

Upon closer observation, he immediately discovered something abnormal in the huge waves.

As a huge wave rolled up, a faint blue light flashed at the crest of the wave.

Su Wang, who thought he was dazzled, wiped the rain off his face and looked carefully.

Sure enough, blue fish shadows were seen at the crests of several huge waves.

If you don't go to the boat railing in the heavy rain and look carefully, it is difficult to see the existence of these fish shadows.

The appearance of fish shadows on the waves undoubtedly proved that the fisherman did not lie.

After Su Wang waited for several minutes in the heavy rain,
The fishing rod finally responded, and the fish catching information appeared.

[Consume 5 points of stamina, successfully catch a wave fish, and reduce the target stamina by 80 points.]

【Break the Wave Fish】

Fish species rarity: Black Iron level.

Strength: 24.

Endurance: 500/580.

These fish only appear in groups in shallow waters during heavy rain and huge waves. They are the only food for a certain special and rare fish.

...

"It really involves special rare fish!"

Su Wang's eyes lit up and he suddenly became excited.

With the blessing of fishing gear modified by three treasures, there is no need to use the imbalance talent to adjust the attributes.

The Bronze-level angler's professional attributes are enough to deal with this Iron-level wave-breaking fish.

In just a few seconds and after consuming 15 points of stamina, he successfully caught the wave-breaking fish on the deck.

Su Wangma killed it without stopping, and chose to decompose it and check the information of the harvested items.

【Black Iron Grade Fish Fillet 100g*5 servings.】

Price:
①: Edible, rich in nutrition, each serving can restore 50 points of endurance.

②: Can be used as bait. When thrown into the water, it has a strong attraction to ordinary fish and a slight attraction to black iron fish.

③: When used as bait, there is a certain probability of attracting the Iron-level special rare fish, the Double-horned Thunder Eel.

[Black iron fish glue*2], [Black iron fish scale*30], [Black iron fish belly*1].

...

In addition to the small amount of resources obtained after opening the fish belly, this Black Iron-level Wave-breaking Fish did not decompose into any very valuable items.

The high recovery effect of black iron-grade fish meat is quite acceptable.

But this is not important. What is important is that the meat of this wave-breaking fish has a special effect!
There is a certain probability of attracting the special rare fish of Black Iron level, the Double-horned Thunder Eel!
The silver-tailed wind fish caught yesterday were just ordinary-level special rare fish. This double-horned thunder eel is even a level higher than the silver-tailed wind fish.

The key is that the fish of this wave fish attracts the double-horned eel.
It's comparable to ordinary-grade special rare fish meat!

Su Wangma quickly replaced the bait on the hook and put on a piece of wave-breaking fish fillet.

"Wavebreaker fish only appear during heavy rain and huge waves, so the two-horned ray eels should also be active at this time."

Based on the habits of living things, Su Wang made a preliminary judgment.

Although we don't know how wide the area swept by this rainstorm is, there is always a chance.

Now that you have the opportunity, it would be a shame not to try it.

As the silver hook was swept away by the huge waves,
Su Wang endured the chill brought by the heavy rain and strong wind, and stared at the sea intently.

...

At this time, Su Wang's attention was attracted by the nearby sea, and the heavy rain also interfered with his vision.

He did not notice that there was a giant sailing ship sailing on the sea a little distance away to the southwest of his vehicle.

And the direction this giant sailboat was heading was right towards the location of the Wangxin.

Compared to Su Wang's sailboat which only had one mainsail,

This giant ship not only has a larger mainsail, but also two smaller auxiliary sails.

As if under the protection of some special power, the raging rainstorm did not affect the sails at all.

Even the giant ship was more than twice as large as Su Wang's sailboat.

On the deck at the bow of the giant ship stood two figures, one tall and one short, wearing cloaks.

In the waters on both sides of the giant ship, some kind of humanoid creatures would occasionally poke their heads out from the waves.

At this time, the petite figure on the bow deck of the giant ship turned her head and asked the tall figure beside her.

"Mr. Novan, have you found any trace of the two-horned ray eel yet?"

The tall figure standing aside was holding up a cylindrical object in front of his eyes, constantly searching the surrounding sea.

What is horrifying is that

The tall figure was actually holding the end of the cylindrical object with one crab claw, and holding the front end of the cylindrical object with the other hand that looked like a human's.

It seemed as if the pincers and the palm were his own hands.

When I heard the question from the side,

Novan did not move the visitor mirror in front of him, but still responded respectfully to the petite figure beside him.

"Ms. Tia, I've already arranged for the Crab Guard to search the water. If they find any trace of the two-horned lightning eel, they will report it to me."

However, Novan's response didn't seem to appease the petite figure, who continued to ask impatiently, "Damn it! This is already the third rainstorm this year, and the election for the clan leader candidate will be held at the end of this month."

"Novan, I think you should know that this is my last chance to catch the two-horned ray eel!"

This time, the petite figure didn't even use the polite word "Sir".

However, Novan did not dare to show his dissatisfaction.
After all, the person next to him is the second daughter of the patriarch of the Horned Eel Family, one of the three major families in Golden Crocodile Wharf.

And he is the only one who can identify with Novan.
To put it nicely, he is the captain of the guard assigned to protect Miss Tia's safety. To put it bluntly, he is just a slave of a higher status.

Novan could only put down the visitor mirror and comfort her patiently.

"Miss Tia, please be patient. If there are any two-horned eels within 50 nautical miles, I believe they will be lured out soon."

"The special potion you paid a large sum of money to order from the caravan has been poured into the water. The effects of the potion will take time to spread."

Hearing this, the petite figure called Miss Tia finally calmed down a little.

Seeing this, Novan picked up the visitor's mirror again and looked around.

Due to the interference of heavy rain on vision and the distance.

Novan had not yet discovered that there was another sailboat named the Dead Heart within 50 nautical miles of him.

However, the giant ship was rapidly approaching the Heart of Destruction, and it might only be a matter of time before the existence of the Heart of Destruction was discovered.

...

at this time,

Su Wang was completely unaware of the approaching giant ship, and his current attention was focused on the water where the bait fell.

"All I caught were surf breakers and other small fish. Did the rain go to waste?"

Nearly an hour has passed since I decided to go fishing in the rain.

There were some gains during this period, as I received information about fish being caught every now and then.

Unfortunately, what we caught were either wave-breaking fish or some ordinary fish.

After a rough count, we have caught 27 fish.

Under normal circumstances, 1 fish can be caught in an hour, many of which are black iron grade fish.

Su Wang would definitely be very happy.

It’s a pity that the vehicle upgrade now requires bronze-level materials, so catching a few black iron-level fish won’t be of much use.

Not to mention the risk of getting cold and getting sick.

"It turns out that good luck doesn't come every time."

Under the alternation of strong winds, rain and water, Su Wang felt his limbs were a little stiff.

Although the wave-breaking fish meat tip has a certain effect in attracting the double-horned ray eel,

But the sea area in the rainstorm is too wide.
Even if there are two-horned ray eels, they may not be in the waters near you.

It was really lucky to encounter the silver-tailed wind fish yesterday, but I may not be so lucky this time.

Su Wang decided to give it one last try for half an hour, and if he didn't catch anything, he would give up this opportunity.

5 minutes passed...

There were two more unprocessed fish on the deck.

At this time, Su Wang no longer had much hope in his heart.

Right now, this is just a final attempt to avoid any regrets.

Another 10 minutes passed...

The deck still contained the unprocessed catch.

"Why can't I even catch any fish?"

Su Wang also felt something was wrong at this time.

There were fish catching information every few minutes, but after nearly 10 minutes, there was no movement at all.

And the blue fish shadows that could occasionally be seen on the waves were gone.

Su Wang looked at the rain which showed no sign of abating, and became even more confused.

"It shouldn't be like this. This rainstorm shows no sign of stopping."

At this time,

Su Wang's eyes inadvertently swept across the water not far away, and faintly saw a blue light flashing underwater.

And this ball of blue light was still moving, as if it was swimming towards this area.

Su Wang's breathing suddenly became rapid, and a thought immediately filled his mind.

"Am I going to win the lottery again?"

If fish that normally swim in an area of ​​water suddenly disappear, it is very likely that they have been disturbed in some way.

The most likely cause of this kind of disturbance is the appearance of a more powerful predator.

Combined with the strange blue light group gradually approaching underwater, Su Wang strongly suspected that the two-horned thunder eel had really appeared!

The dark blue light ball underwater is most likely the two-horned electric eel itself!

Seeing the blue light ball approaching the Heart of Death,
Su Wang's hands began to tremble slightly, perhaps because it was too cold or because he was too nervous.

After a while, the dark blue light lurking underwater came near the Wangxin.

The location is right next to where the fish hook falls.

Perhaps because the blue light ball was still alert, it was constantly swimming around the fishhook.

Su Wang's heart was swimming with the blue light, and he shouted frantically: "Bite the hook! Bite the hook!"

At the same time, he also used his imbalance talent to double his strength, making sure to lock the target the first time it bites the hook.

The ball of blue light swam around the fishhook for nearly a minute, sometimes coming closer and sometimes moving farther away.

Su Wang's inner anxiety also fluctuated.

At this time,

The ball of dark blue light seemed to be unable to resist the temptation first and suddenly accelerated underwater.

It swam past the fishhook at a speed several times faster than before.
