Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 31 Underwater Attack
After the giant multi-eyed octopus monster emerged from underwater,
It kept twitching and waving its thick tentacles to block the shells fired at it one by one.

Under the force of the shell explosion,

The seemingly terrifying and thick tentacles still cannot avoid the fate of being blown into pieces.

The weird thing is,

The tentacles of the octopus monster that were destroyed by the artillery shells quickly proliferated and repaired themselves in just one or two seconds.

It seems that some of the ships that were originally shooting freely noticed the giant octopus monster.
Immediately, they concentrated their firepower and attacked the octopus monster.

Under the concentrated bombardment of artillery shells that increased several times, the octopus monster's recovery speed was immediately suppressed.

After only two rounds of concentrated fire,

Even the octopus monster fish with strong recovery ability could not withstand the fierce artillery fire and sank from the water.

However, the next second,
More and more huge polluting creatures appear.

Not only a strange fish like an octopus,

There are also deformed fish that look like small boats, turtle-like creatures that look like small hills of flesh on their backs, and so on.

Each large monster fish requires the ship to concentrate its firepower to attack, causing the originally dispersed suppressive firepower to gradually become uneven.

A tide of strange fish, consisting of schools of strange fish, gradually rushed towards the dock under the gunfire.

When Su Wang saw this scene, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.

this moment,
Only then did he truly realize how dangerous this world is!

Whether it was the artillery fire that washed over the ground like rain, or the endless tide of polluted fish.

If the Wangxin faced any of them now, it would probably not last even a second before being broken into pieces.

In the next few minutes,

Su Wang watched as round after round of artillery fire was fired at the polluted fish tide, reducing the scale of the polluted fish tide through firepower.

But at this moment,
All ships manned by captains in the dock fleet line showed new movements.

Fish patterns of various shapes appeared on the hull, and hatches appeared on the side of the hull.

A large number of fish-man guards of various types climbed out of the hatch and fell into the water.

Some of these ships can summon one or two hundred murloc guards!
Witnessing these boatmen using fish souls in much the same way as fishermen,

Su Wang also immediately summoned out the two types of fishman guards on the Wangxin.

It is obvious that this is not the first time for these boatmen at the Golden Crocodile Wharf to deal with red tide.
Su Wang felt that since they acted in this way, there must be a reason for it!
As the 30 fishman guards stored on the Death Heart were summoned,

Su Wang also saw for the first time what the previously hatched Black Iron-level Wave-breaking Murloc Guard looked like.

The same fish head and human body, smooth, scaleless dark blue skin and webbed hands and feet.

These Wave-Breaking Murloc Guards do not hold harpoons like the Black-Scaled Snapper Murloc Guards.
Instead, there are hemispherical bulges on both sides of the cheeks, the fishman's mouth is an O-shaped convex tube, and there are two tubular objects on both sides of the fish head that hang down to the waist.

【Wavebreaker Murloc Guard】

Class: Dark Iron Amphibious Murloc.

Strength: 33.

Stamina: 940.

Introduction: A product derived from the fish soul, it only has basic combat awareness. It will dissolve on its own after its durability is exhausted. It can move and protect within 50 meters around the vehicle.

...

"No weapons?"

Su Wang couldn't help but feel curious about how these wave-breaking fishmen would attack.

At this moment,
Several wave-breaking murloc guards floating on the water near the Dead Heart suddenly reacted.

I saw the bulges around their mouths suddenly swelled up.
Water arrows suddenly shot out from its O-shaped mouth and shot towards a place less than 5 meters below the water surface.

The impact of the water arrow is so strong that traces can be seen even after it is two meters underwater.

These water arrows did not dissipate on their own due to lack of back-up force.
The Wave-Breaking Murloc Guards don't attack just to show off their attack methods.

The vague black shadow under the water was the real reason why the Wave Breaker Murloc guards fired water arrows.

As the water arrow hit the black shadow, a message suddenly appeared in Su Wang's eyes.

【Bluestone tiger fish (mildly polluted)】

Fish species rarity: Black Iron level.

Strength:72(47).

Stamina: 516/780 (510).

Ordinary black-scaled snappers that have been contaminated by evil forces have seen varying degrees of improvement in strength and endurance.

...

"There's already a strange fish underwater!"

The moment I saw the message,

Su Wang immediately understood why those captains summoned the merman guards to go into the water.

Several water arrows fired the starting gun.

The other fishman guards around the Death Heart also took action in coordination with each other.

Some dived into the water, while others spit water arrows towards somewhere below the water.

Information about two kinds of strange fish appeared in Su Wang's sight one after another.

【Spine eel (mildly contaminated)】

Fish species rarity: Black Iron.

...

【Spotted fish (mildly polluted)】

Fish species rarity: Common.

...

Seeing the various strange fish information that appeared one after another, Su Wang's face instantly became solemn.

The largest polluted fish tide in the distance has just arrived, but strange fish have already appeared underwater.

This shows that the scale of the polluted fish tide is far more than what appears on the sea surface.

Even the strange fish that have appeared underwater are most likely just the vanguard that is closer and swims faster.

Just as Su Wang was thinking,

A wave-breaking fishman guard suddenly emerged from the water and threw the corpse of a strange fish onto the deck of the Heart of Death. The information on the ship's certificate in Su Wang's hand also changed, indicating that he had earned 1 Golden Crocodile Pier Merit Point.

Looking at the body of the strange fish on the deck, it was an ordinary-level strange fish.

It is not difficult to guess that this merit was gained by killing this ordinary-level monster fish.

"If I want to exchange for a Backtracking Stone, I have to kill at least 300 ordinary-level monster fish." Su Wang calculated in his mind.

Ordinary monster fish can be dealt with, and any ordinary black-scaled snapper guard underwater can deal with one or two on their own.

But it will take some time to deal with the number of 300.

At this time, another strange fish corpse was thrown onto the deck by two fishman guards.

However, this time the strange fish's body was larger and its appearance was more deformed and disgusting.

The level of the strange fish has also reached the black iron level.

Su Wang noticed that the merit points on the ship certificate had increased to 6 points, which means that killing the Black Iron-level monster fish can gain 5 merit points.

From this we can see that the dock merit points obtained by killing different levels of monster fish are completely different.

It took less than ten seconds to get 6 points of merit.

It seems that to collect the 300 merits required to exchange for the Rewind Stone, you just need to stay where you are for a while longer.

But Su Wang didn't think so.

Can quickly deal with two strange fish,

It is entirely because there are 30 fishman guards underwater that they can deal with a small number of strange fish so quickly by using more numbers to defeat fewer.

Once the number of strange fish increases and the advantage changes, this killing efficiency cannot be maintained.

During the ten seconds of thinking, Su Wang received three more messages about strange fish.

Some of the fishman guards underwater in the ship's hull also began to experience a drop in stamina.

Su Wang raised his eyes and glanced at the strange fish wave approaching on the sea in the distance.

At that moment, he didn't care that there were still some strange fish underwater that hadn't been killed by the fishman guards.

He immediately drove the Wangxin towards the dock, as close to it as possible!
Su Wang has realized one thing!
This sea area near the edge of the defense line will soon become very dangerous!

The number of strange fish that have appeared under the water so far is only a very small part of this red tide, and they are just the vanguard that swims faster.

Wait until the real main tide of fish arrives,
The danger level of this area of ​​water close to the front line is about to skyrocket!

If they continue to stay here, the 30 murloc guards hatched by the Heart of Death alone will not be able to stop so many strange fish in a short period of time.

When more and more strange fish gather underwater and exceed the response range of the fishman guards,

The Wangxin is likely to be surrounded and restrained by monsters and fall into danger!
There are only two options right now.

One is to join the fleet line at the Golden Crocodile Wharf and use the many fishman guards summoned by the fleet to share the monster fish attacking from underwater.

The second option is to head towards the dock and use the dock fishman guards in the waters near the dock to share the underwater pressure.

Su Wang chose the safer second option.

Among the fishermen, my current progress is at the forefront, but it is still far behind the local port forces that have been developing for a long time.

After all, it's only the third day since I came to this world.

The Wangxin has not been upgraded yet and the facilities are not complete.

Choosing to join the local dock fleet resisting on the front line is too dangerous.

The best way is to rely on the large number of fishmen guards around the dock.

Use them to share most of the pressure and create a situation where you only need to face a small number of strange fish at the same time.

Su Wang steered the Wangxin towards the dock, while the fishman guards escorted him underwater.

...

The closer he got to the dock, the fewer warnings about strange fish Su Wang received.

After ten minutes,
The Heart of Death has sailed to waters less than 300 meters away from the dock port, and a large number of dock fishman guards can be seen underwater.

As early as one minute ago, Su Wang had stopped receiving information about the strange fish.

Presumably, after approaching the waters near the dock, the small number of strange fish that attacked from underwater were cleared out by these dock fishman guards.

Unfortunately, during the short journey back home, four ordinary murloc guards and one black iron murloc guard were killed by the monster fish.

Su Wang couldn't help but feel lucky that he reacted in time.

If they continue to stay near the front line of the fleet, they may lose more than 4 murloc guards.

Fortunately, we killed more than a dozen strange fish along the way.

The merit points accumulated to 55 points, slightly making up for the loss of 4 murloc guards.

...

In the waters near the pier,

There are a large number of murloc guards stationed underwater.

At the same time, there were a small number of boats operated by ordinary captains on the water.

Some dock fishmen guards were specially arranged to escort these ships, which seemed to be a special arrangement.

However, it is precisely these few ships that make the Wangxin not seem too out of place.

"Even if a few strange fish enter these waters, they should be quickly killed by the numerous murloc guards at the docks."

"It depends on how long this situation lasts."

Now you don't have to worry about underwater threats, but at the same time you can't kill the monster fish to gain merit.

However, Su Wang understood that this situation would only be temporary.

In the distance, the main tide of strange fish is approaching step by step.

Sooner or later, the number of strange fish in the waters near the pier will increase as the main fish tide approaches.

With my current strength,

Only by fighting under the cover of these murloc guards at the docks can the safety boundaries of the Deathheart be taken into our own hands.

While Su Wang was surveying the situation on the front line, he was waiting for the approach of the strange fish tide.
