Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 213: The Power of One Ship (5K)

After hearing Ji Boda's report,

Su Wang had never thought that such a situation would occur.

Although the number of fish souls increased dramatically after being installed on the altar, they also lost the crew increase that only came with being installed on the Dead Heart.

Under the influence of heavy rain season,
The attributes of the strange fish have already been enhanced, and perhaps they have been further enhanced during this red tide.

However, the attributes of the murloc guards at the dock were also weakened due to the appearance of Hong Ye.

In this way, the gap between the fishman guards and the monster fish of the same level will become huge.

In a pitch-black environment, it is even more difficult to get timely information on developments.

Su Wang immediately took out tens of millions of fish coins and lent them to Ji Boda temporarily, instructing him to use them to replenish the consumption of the Fish Soul Altar at any time.

He was then teleported back to the Wangxin and used the scanning function of the sonar radar to observe the underwater situation.

When they arrived on the Dead Heart, Tia was already sitting in her seat with a serious expression.

When he saw Su Wang coming to the command room, he immediately reported.

"Captain...according to the sonar scan, a large number of fish are converging towards this area."

Su Wang came to Tia's side and checked the situation in the sonar image together.

Under Tia's control, the sonar image shows the most massive macro scanning perspective.

The exploration range is nearly 4 meters in length and width, and the largest scanning image is projected.

In the entire image, the current dock appears very small, and the scanned biological targets are presented as tiny dots.

Located closest to the pier, it is a collection of images formed by the convergence of points into a surface.

It should be the many fishman guards lurking underwater at this moment.

There is a gap of several hundred meters to the outside, which should be the buffer zone separated by the mine defense line.

Beyond that, there were groups of small dots gathering together and converging towards the pier.

The density is so high that it makes one's scalp tingle.

The mine defense line built at this moment has blocked many dense dot-like fish shadows.

A rough estimate shows that there are already more than 100,000 of them.

However, the number of fish shadows currently intercepted by mines is not even one-tenth of the number of fish shadows approaching from farther away in the sonar image.

"hiss…"

Su Wang couldn't help but take a breath.

Although I was mentally prepared, I didn't expect it to change to this extent.

The scale and strength of this red tide is more than ten times greater than the red tide when Fool's Wharf was upgraded to Level 4.

In addition to the attribute changes between the strange fish and the murloc guards at the dock,
If it weren't for the mines acting as a buffer line, the fishman guards prepared at the dock would have no way of stopping such a ferocious red tide.

Su Wang hurriedly gave the order.

"Not enough! These mines are not enough!"

"Hurry up and replenish the mines, giving priority to the lower areas!"

After receiving the order, Tia immediately drove the Heart of Destruction to the bottom mine defense line buffer zone to replenish mines.

At the same time, Su Wang sent instructions to Ji Boda at the dock, asking him to order the merman guards at the dock to focus on guarding the bottom line of defense.

Because the bottom line of defense was too large, Su Wang only laid out two layers of mines, not as many layers as on the four side lines of defense.

If some mines are detonated, there will still be strange fish breaking through from the location where the induced mines are missing and approaching the dock.

However, the attributes of the murloc guards have been greatly reduced, and the number of fish coming in is beyond imagination.

Su Wang could no longer rely on the fishman guards, but was instead prepared to focus on using mines.

As the Heartless landed on the water surface, it immediately switched to deep diving mode.

Before diving, the 10 bombers on the battleship were launched.

Now Tia is responsible for controlling the bombers, divided into four teams to airdrop additional mines towards the four sides of the defense line.

Su Wangze controlled the Wangxin and dived underwater to repair the bottom line of defense.

In less than a moment, they had reached a depth of a thousand meters underwater.

After reaching this water depth, Su Wang was able to see through the sonar images that a large number of fish were gathering to attack the mines.

The underwater flames that explode from time to time indicate that the mines have been triggered and exploded.

They could even detect fish breaking through the mine defense line and swimming towards the upper dock.

Each mine has a durability of 12, and many of them have already exploded at the very beginning.

Seeing this, Su Wang hurriedly dropped additional mines.

This time, they didn't even calculate the intervals. They just randomly threw one fish every few dozen meters, and they didn't care about the consumption of fish coins at all.

The primary target is to go to those areas where there are no mine-induced obstructions, and to use the Wangxin to replenish them.

However, as soon as the Wangxin approached the location where the mine defense line was breached, it immediately attracted the attention of some swimming strange fish.

Su Wang hurriedly released the fishman guards reserved on the warship to escort and intercept.

Although the extraordinary fish souls have been installed on the fish soul altar, the Heart of Destruction is now equipped with gold-level fish souls.

The murloc guards at the dock have their attributes weakened, but the murloc guards on the Heart of Death do not.

Not only are its attributes not weakened, but due to the bonus provided by Tia, its attributes are much stronger than those of a normal golden murloc guard.

For a moment, the attacking strange fish was blocked outside the warship by the fishman guards and did not cause any damage to the warship.

However, what surprised Su Wang was that

Almost immediately after the murloc guard and the strange fish collided, a prompt indicating the murloc guard's death quickly appeared.

Since Tia was promoted to Extraordinary,
When Su Wang sent merman guards to deal with underwater monster fish, he rarely saw casualties among the merman guards.

When casualties occurred right after the battle, it immediately caught his attention.

After dispatching several fishman guards to check their targets,
Su Wang suddenly whispered in surprise.

"This attribute... is also too absurdly enhanced."

Three-spine eel (mildly contaminated)

Fish species rarity: Silver level.

Strength:316(104).

Stamina: 3145/6680 (1980).

Silver-level fish polluted by evil forces have their attributes greatly enhanced due to the enhanced pollution.

...

It's just a silver-level monster fish, but its strength is as high as more than 3 points, and its endurance has increased to an outrageous 6 points.

Compared with the basic attributes of normal silver-level fish, the difference is three times.

Su Wang then randomly checked a few more.

Among them are lower black iron bronze level, gold level and even extraordinary level strange fish.

But no matter what level of strange fish, its attributes are several times higher than the normal level.

The damage to the fishman guards was basically caused by gold-level or even extraordinary-level monster fish.

"Gah! This time, it's going to be quite difficult..."

Su Wang also felt the pressure.

The combination of heavy rainy season and red nights and red tides made the red tides encountered in the past seem like playing house compared to this red tide.

Su Wang replenished the losses of the fishman guards while continuously dropping mines.

Fortunately, the mines have an excellent guiding effect. Each mine can attract a large number of strange fish and distract the attention of the attacking Wangxin.

It took a lot of effort to temporarily fill the broken mine defense line with a large number of mines.

The attacking strange fish were also attracted by the mines. Only a part of them broke through and swam towards the dock above, and they could not be intercepted.

Fortunately, there are a large number of merman guards stationed at the dock, so it should not be a problem to besiege and deal with some of the strange fish.

However, Su Wang couldn't even breathe for a moment.

The huge number of fish and their fierce attack were too fast to kill the mines.

Mines are being detonated all the time under siege.

The damage caused by the mine explosions resulted in large numbers of dead fish floating up from the water.

However, Su Wang no longer had time to collect these fish carcasses.

Instead, he piloted the Wangxin as a "repairman", and went to where there were many mine explosions to fill the mines.

It is imperative to ensure that the absence of mines will not cause the strange fish to lose their luring target and cause them to break through.

A fleet has been arranged to carry out salvage operations. Although the number is not too large, some fish should be brought to the dock in time.

In order to strengthen the defense line, Su Wang has dropped mines into deeper water layers at all costs.

Adding the expenses on the Tia side,
In just over ten minutes, nearly 100 million fish coins were spent on laying mines.

A large number of mines are like exploding candies, attracting strange fish to come and eat them.

Despite such an inhumane investment, even such a ferocious fish tide was kept out for a short time.

Su Wang then breathed a sigh of relief and controlled the Wangxin to surface to check the situation at the dock.

...

On Qinglong Wharf,
Ji Boda clenched his fists, his palms sweating.

Apart from a brief commotion caused by the fishman guards just now, there was no further fighting.

It’s as if this red tide is not a big crisis.

You can hear the continuous muffled sounds under the dock, and the large amount of fish that are continuously transported to the dock.

Let Ji Boda understand that the danger had already arrived, but was just blocked.

In just over ten minutes, tens of thousands of fish had piled up on the dock, and it was almost full.

However, this is just the fish caught in the waters near the pier.
The low explosions coming from farther away in all directions indicated that the battlefield was far more than just the underwater area of ​​the dock.

There are more fish caught that cannot even be retrieved.

However, the catch from this battlefield alone was already enormous.

It would be a lie to say that Ji Boda wasn't excited when he saw these catches.

But he also knew that these catches were not something he could touch, nor was it something he should touch.

Therefore, even though the dock was full of fish, Ji Boda did not choose to disassemble them, but waited for the real owners of the fish to come and deal with them.

"Boss Su is really amazing..."

Ji Boda sighed in his heart as he looked at the fish that had piled up so much that there was no place to stand.

"If it weren't for the boss's help, the dock would be ruined now."

The red tide has only just begun and it has already reached this level.

Only then did Ji Boda understand that the strange fish that Hong Ye had encountered before were no different from encountering a group of small fish fry.

It also witnessed how a truly strong person dealt with enemies of this scale.

Although he didn't know what was happening underwater.

But what we can know is that
Boss Wangxin did not use the warships and his men, but relied on an unknown method to stop the terrible red tide.

Even though there were constant muffled noises in the distance, the dock was still as calm as if nothing had happened.

At this moment, a huge warship emerged from the water, and a figure appeared on the Qinglong Wharf.

...

Su Wang was teleported to the dock.
Suddenly, I felt a soft and uneven touch under my feet.

In the light of the lamp, I found that I was stepping on a huge fish corpse.

Looking into the distance with a lantern, there were piles of fish carcasses all around, with no place to stand.

At this time, a figure holding a lantern stumbled and crawled towards them.

"Boss Su, what should we do with these fish?"

"If we don't deal with it, the dock will be full."

Seeing the person coming, Su Wang immediately asked.

"Why didn't you decompose part of it?"

Ji Boda smiled awkwardly upon hearing this.

"This is your harvest, Boss. I dare not break it down."

"Don't worry, Boss. I haven't broken down any of them. They're all waiting for you to deal with."

Su Wang raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised.

After all, the underwater mines are still exploding continuously, and each explosion will cause the death of a large number of strange fish around.

The fish kept surfacing and being salvaged ashore.

If Ji Boda collected some of it, no one would notice.

Moreover, due to the rainy season, the quality of fish caught is even more uneven.

Although there were no extraordinary-level fish catches, there were still quite a few gold-level fish catches.

The temptation to ordinary fishermen is extremely great.

Ji Boda's personality is a bit eccentric, but it seems that his character is not bad and he can resist such temptation.

Su Wang chuckled.

"This red tide has only just begun, and it can't continue like this."

"Next, you will select those fish under 15 meters in size and cut them up. Only those larger than 15 meters will be left for me to collect."

Fish below 15 meters are considered silver grade or below.

Although Menata is present, it is most efficient to decompose everything yourself.

But this time the red tide was too large, and the logistics personnel had to be on the Wangxin.

Therefore, the fish had to be stored in the fish space of the Wangxin.

The underwater mine defense line must be replenished regularly.

Su Wangke had no way of letting the Wangxin stay in the port all the time to collect the fish, so he could only come up to collect it periodically.

Let Ji Boda help to decompose those low-level fish catches.

With the help of manpower on the dock and the disintegrator, space can be made for more fish.

Of course, this is also conditional.

After all, in order to fight against this red tide, Su Wang has invested a lot of fish coins and is still investing.

This time, Ji Boda did not contribute much.

Su Wang told Ji Boda,
A portion of the disassembled and stored materials can be left to him, but the vast majority must be returned.

Su Wang also informed that he had invested more than 1 million fish coins and used equipment to fight the red tide.

A considerable portion of these fish catches will be needed to make up for the losses.

Ji Boda heard that Wang Xin Boss was trying to help Qinglong Wharf stop the red tide.

He had already spent over 100 million fish coins, which was a huge amount for him, and he was immediately filled with gratitude.

There was no objection to the arrangement proposed by Su Wang.

He also knew that he could not help at all with this red tide, and it was already a kindness from the boss to be able to share some resources.

...

The underwater defense line also needs to be checked and filled regularly.

Su Wang had no time to waste.

Immediately take off to collect the fish on the dock.

Nearly a hundred robotic arms began to continuously grab the fish.
Menata has also led the logistics personnel on the battleship and made preparations for the work.

During this period, before all the fish on the dock were collected, Su Wang took the time to go to the lower waters to replenish the mines.

However, the scale of the fish attracted by this red tide is too large.
When Su Wang returned to the dock, the fish had piled up so much that there was no room to put them.

More fish were still floating on the water, with no room to place them.

Even with Ji Boda's help in arranging manpower to break down the fish, they still couldn't keep up with the speed at which the fish were transported to the dock.

However, this is only the result of the bottom line of defense.

At several other flank defense lines, there was no one to collect the fish.

Noticing this,

Su Wang couldn't help but feel speechless.

I wish there would be such a harvest feast.

We should bring more manpower, or at least more fishermen.

By the time this red tide is over, I'm afraid a lot of fish will be wasted and sunk.

Fortunately, this also served as a reminder to him, so that when Fool's Wharf expands, he can be better prepared and maximize the benefits.

In the following time, Su Wang controlled the Wangxin to move back and forth between the bottom of the water and above the dock.

Tia also controlled the bombers, continuously replenishing and consolidating the defense lines on all sides.

In less than an hour, the cost of dropping mines had reached more than 3 million fish coins.

Su Wang had never thought that dealing with a red tide would consume such a huge amount of fish coins.

And only the Wangxin has powerful battleship attributes, coupled with mines and abundant financial resources.

Only then can one use a single battleship to resist the powerful red tide of at least a million monster fish.

The catch, coupled with Menata's added qualifications and abilities, made this effort well worth the effort.

The harvest in terms of fish souls and fish materials is enormous.

When this crimson tide ends, the team's strength will be greatly enhanced.

...

When we are busy, time always passes by inadvertently.

Soon, it was one hour into the red tide outbreak.

Although the rainy season had various unusual impacts, the dock’s sea-cleansing capacity was only weakened by half, not curbed.

As one hour passed, the sea purification capacity began to spread to the surrounding sea areas with Qinglong Wharf as the origin.

However, the weakening of the sea purification ability, coupled with the huge improvement in the attributes of the monster fish, has greatly reduced the effectiveness of the low-damage sea purification ability.

The only good news is that after the sea purification ability is triggered, the attribute reduction status of the dock murloc guards disappears.

At the same time, the emergence of the sea purification ability also gave this red tide a time to end, rather than being endless.

Monster fish below the gold level do not have the ability to reproduce and regenerate.

As long as we hold on for about an hour, the pressure of this red tide will be reduced to only gold-level and above monster fish.

When the sea purification ability appears half an hour later,

The frequency of mine detonations began to decrease, and the number of fish coins Su Wang invested began to decrease.

Instead, a large number of fish carcasses appeared on the sea surface.

The dark vision makes it more difficult to catch fish.

Su Wang didn't even care that there were golden and extraordinary monster fish that needed to be dealt with underwater, and he focused on collecting the final catch.

It took more than an hour just to collect the fish.

It finally stopped when there were no more dead fish on the sea surface.

However, the movement underwater has not stopped yet.

The gold-level and extraordinary-level monster fish have the ability to reproduce and regenerate, coupled with a surge in endurance.

The detonation of one or two mines is not enough to cause fatal damage to it.

The restorative ability of their proliferation and regeneration is sufficient to allow them to recover on their own after being injured.

Su Wang estimated through the sonar image.

There are at least 10 high-level strange fish remaining underwater.

If you don't have the strength to deal with these strange fish, they will continue to attack until they die.
