Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 32 Helping to Share the Cost
During the waiting period.

From time to time, Su Wang could see the fishman guards at the dock sending the corpses of the strange fish back to the dock port.

At the port,
There are specially arranged personnel to collect the corpses of these strange fish, and when a certain number is accumulated, they are transported to the interior of the dock using carts.

Seeing the corpses of strange fish being transported away one after another,

Su Wang couldn't help but feel a little confused: "What does the dock want these strange fish corpses for?"

While searching the pier during the day, I did not see any contaminated fish being sold there.

What's more, the fish itself has a deformed and disgusting body.
I guess the people at the dock are not using the corpses of these strange fish as food.

Su Wang didn't quite understand.
What use is there for the dock to collect the corpses of these strange fish?
If you are a fisherman, the corpse of the strange fish can be decomposed to obtain materials and resources.

"Do these local humans, or perhaps the dock rulers, also have a way to decompose fish?"

Thinking about the existence of treasures such as fish souls and fish treasures in the merit exchange list, Su Wang felt that this guess did not seem to be empty talk.

The main reason was that he was a little envious of the corpses of these strange fish.

If all the corpses of these strange fish could be decomposed,
It is estimated that it is not difficult to collect the materials for the fourth-level vehicle with the materials that can be produced.

...

Time passes minute by minute,
It has been a while since the red tide outbreak.

The fleet's defense line in the coastal area ahead could not withstand the approaching fish tide, and the defense line continued to retreat step by step towards the dock area.

Dock port area,

The number of strange fish corpses sent by the fishman guards at the dock is increasing.

The emergence of various phenomena,
Su Wang felt that the situation he predicted was about to happen.

After the fleet line moves back again.

The frequency of the fishmen guards transporting the corpses of strange fish has been greatly reduced.
However, this phenomenon did not occur because the underwater situation had improved, but rather it had become worse.

There were so many strange underwater fish that most of the fishman guards at the dock were tied up.

Su Wang could already see the dead bodies of strange fish floating everywhere on the water surface.

The task of collecting the corpses of the strange fish, which was originally the responsibility of the fishman guards at the dock, was now transferred to ordinary boats swimming on the nearby waters.

"It seems the murloc guards at the dock are almost unable to hold on..."

Less than 2 minutes had passed since Su Wang had this thought.

Information about the strange fish appeared in his eyes.

This means that a strange fish has already started fighting with the fish-man guards at the bottom of the Deathheart.

This is also the opportunity that Su Wang has been waiting for to reap the merits.

There are currently 30 merman guards guarding the bottom of the ship, so Su Wang doesn’t need to worry about encountering a strange fish.

Soon, the body of a black iron fish was brought onto the deck by the fishman guards.
The dock merit points, which had not increased for a long time, also increased by 5 points.

Four minutes later, the second body of the strange fish was brought onto the deck.

Just one minute later, the third tail appeared.

From then on, the strange fish prompt information appeared more frequently, and the frequency gradually increased.

There were even three or four pieces of information about strange fish appearing in succession within one minute.

This also indicates that the number of strange fish under the waters near the dock has become so large that even the large number of dock fishman guards cannot suppress them.

Too many strange fish attacked the Heart of Death in a short period of time.

Su Yang summoned only 30 murloc guards, 10 of which were ordinary murloc guards.

Under the increasing pressure, the fishman guards began to die one after another.

In order to keep the underwater fishman guards at their peak combat effectiveness, Su Wang
Every time a Murloc Guard dies, you have to spend fish coins to fill the vacant Murloc Guard position.

The benefit is that the dock merit points are increasing at a very fast rate.

Su Wang currently has more than two thousand fish coins accumulated, which is enough to support him for a while.

Moreover, the corpses of strange fish are constantly handed over by the fishman guards, and you can obtain fish coins and materials by decomposing them.

Su Wang believed that as long as he could survive the red tide, all the fish coins he spent would eventually be made up and not be wasted.

...

As the number of underwater strange fish continues to increase,
All the murloc guards at the dock are fighting underwater to clear out the attacking monster fish.

The underwater fight became more and more intense, causing the corpses of strange fish to float to the surface one after another.

The few "corpse recovery boats" were simply overwhelmed, causing the floating fish carcasses to gradually cover the sea surface.

Moreover, there were attacks from strange fish underwater, causing these boats to give up trying to salvage the fish carcasses.

Su Wangdu had already witnessed that the fishmen guards of the two ships were restrained or killed.
As a result, the ship had no time to return to the port, and eventually the hull was bitten through by a strange fish and sank into the water.

As for the ordinary native humans on the sunken ship, most of them fell into the water and were quickly dragged down by the strange fish.

Apart from staining the sea water illuminated by the red light with a redder blood color, there was no sign of it floating up.

Only a few lucky ones were rescued by the surrounding merman guards at the docks after falling into the water, and were then picked up and taken away by other ships that arrived.

Witnessing the deaths one after another, Su Wang couldn't help but feel a chill and regret in his heart.

I was even more grateful that I didn't stay in the coastal area before, but chose to return to the pier.

Even the waters where there are many murlocs guarding the docks have become so dangerous.

How dangerous would it be to reach the coastal area ahead and the middle area where there are no murloc guards defending it?

The sinking of salvage ships and the increasing number of strange fish underwater.

The murloc guards at the docks were no longer able to protect the safety of the salvage vessels.

From then on, the ordinary ships responsible for collecting fish carcasses returned to the dock and no longer left.

This also resulted in an increasing accumulation of strange fish carcasses floating on the water surface.

At first, because there were salvage ships nearby that salvaged the corpses of strange fish, Su Wang had no intention of taking these strange fish corpses.

But now they have all returned to the port and no longer leave.

In Su Wang's eyes, the corpses of these strange fish on the water surface that "no one collects" are undoubtedly resource packages right in front of him.

Su Wang also noticed that after the strange fish died,
Although the body will float to the surface for a while, it will sink into the water and disappear if it is not salvaged in time. Watching these resource packs sink to the bottom of the water and disappear in vain,

Su Wang couldn't help but feel that it was a bit of a waste.

In the spirit of waste shame,

Su Wang began to collect the corpses of strange fish floating on the water by using a fishhook.

It can be used to make up for the losses caused by the death of the fishman guards.

However, at present he only controls the Heart of Death to collect the corpses of strange fish nearby.

There were many people on the dock paying attention to the red tide.

Most of the ships were engaged in battle at the front.
Without the cover of those salvage ships, the Wangxin seemed a little out of place.

Being in the public eye, doing things too blatantly will inevitably attract some attention.

But if we just collect some corpses of strange fish that float by or are not too far away, it probably won’t attract too much attention.

In just a few minutes,
Su Wang helped pick up more than 200 corpses of strange fish from the water surface.

Plus the corpses of the strange fish killed and handed over by the fishman guards,

The deck of the Wangxin was piled with the corpses of no less than three hundred strange fish of various sizes.

There is very limited space on the deck and it seems that there is almost no room for more.

In order not to waste such a good opportunity to obtain resources.

After Su Wang took a look around and surveyed the situation around the Wangxin, he quietly decomposed and collected some of the fish corpses.

This will also make room for the next batch of strange fish corpses.

As for why a part was left without decomposing, it was also to serve as a cover.

After all, there were many onlookers at the dock and port.
Su Wang was not sure whether any local humans had noticed the Wangxin.

If someone had seen many strange fish corpses piled up on the Wangxin, but they suddenly disappeared, they would definitely have become suspicious.

Leaving some parts undecomposed for concealment can also dispel these people's doubts.

Even after the red tide ended,

If the dock manager comes to your door and asks you to hand over the fish carcasses, you can also produce some undecomposed fish carcasses to satisfy your request.

But just as Su Wang was looking around the waters near the Wangxin for safety,

A shadow was discovered several meters away underwater, rapidly approaching the Wangxin.

Su Wang originally thought that the shadow was the fishman guard who brought back the fish corpse, but he immediately realized that something was wrong!
The shadow is a bit too big and does not match the size of the murloc guard.

Realizing that something was wrong, Su Wang immediately swung his fishing rod, and the hook shot towards the approaching shadow underwater like a flying sword.

The next second, a prompt appeared, instantly verifying the guess.

[Consume 5 points of stamina, successfully catch a dolphin, and reduce the target stamina by 40 points.]

【Finally, the finless dolphin (mildly polluted)】

Fish species rarity: Bronze.

Strength:60(51).

Stamina: 1040/1080 (890).

The strength and endurance of the finned fish contaminated by evil forces have been improved to varying degrees.

...

"It's indeed a strange fish, and it's bronze-level!"

Su Wang's eyes instantly became serious.

Immediately use the talent conversion attribute to double the strength, and the wind shield is also activated simultaneously.

With the bronze level and the attribute improvement caused by pollution, the strength of this strange fish is as high as 60 points.

Su Wang can only trigger his innate double damage effect by doubling his existing strength.

Otherwise, its endurance limit of 1080 is enough for this strange fish to last for 27 seconds, which is enough time for the strange fish to cause a large amount of damage to the durability of the Death Heart.

As Su Wang's strength attribute increased sharply,
The polluted finless porpoise was still approaching the Heart of Destruction, but its endurance had already dropped sharply.

By the time it got close to the Heart of Death, its endurance was almost exhausted.

In just less than 5 seconds,
The underwater shadow only had time to touch the Wangxin before it was suddenly brought out of the water.

Looking at the deformed fish falling onto the deck, Su Wang swung his fishing rod and took away its last bit of endurance.

"The wind shield lost 120 points of durability, but that's still acceptable."

Su Wang checked the shield's wear and tear.

This time, a critical hit effect of the fishhook was accidentally triggered.

As a result, the bronze-level monster fish with more than a thousand points of endurance could only hold on for more than 4 seconds.

Compared with the 27 seconds before using the talent, it has been shortened by more than 6 times.

It was certainly a blessing to be able to catch a bronze-level monster fish at a very low cost, but the appearance of this monster fish made Su Wang realize that the underwater situation was already very serious.
The fish-man guards responsible for guarding the Deathheart underwater are now unable to intercept all the strange fish.

The appearance of the bronze-level monster fish indicates that the danger level in the waters near the dock has increased again.

Su Wang looked in the direction of the fleet at the dock.

It was discovered that under the continuous approach of the strange fish tide,
At this time, the defense line of the front-line dock fleet has been pushed back repeatedly, and is less than 2 kilometers away from the dock location.

The fleet size has become much smaller than when the red tide first broke out.

Even at this moment, Su Yang could see many ships sinking into the sea.

There is no doubt that the pressure on the front-line fleet is greater and more dangerous than the waters near the dock!

The fish tide is getting closer,
Perhaps this is also the reason why a bronze-level monster fish appeared underwater near the pier.
