Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 78 Final fishing time!

The explosion range after the mine is detonated is not small.

The mines detonated along the way by the strange ship fleet not only caused damage to the strange ships, but also caused a large number of strange fish corpses to float on the water surface.

Su Wang could vaguely see that among the many fish corpses floating on the sea, there was a box containing the core of a damaged warship.

"I hope these storage boxes don't sink like the fish carcasses..."

This is the spoils left by more than a hundred strange ships.

The gains from simply decomposing the damaged warship cores in these boxes are enough to make up for the losses incurred from laying mines.

Unfortunately, the waters where the strange ship was sunk are right in the most turbulent area of ​​the red tide of strange fish, and it is not convenient for the Wangxin to go there to salvage it at the moment.

Su Wang summoned the Dock Lord's scroll and checked the time when the Sea Purification ability would be activated.

There are 33 minutes left to activate the level 1 sea purification ability.
Once the sea purification ability is activated, just hold on for another ten minutes or so, and the threat of the red tide will be further reduced.

The strange ship has been dealt with, and the underwater fish tide is blocked by a mine defense line.

The Heart of Destruction is of little use at the front.
Su Wang immediately returned to the dock and docked at both sides of the Fool's Wharf to check the current situation of the wharf.

...

Su Wang landed at the Fool's Wharf from the northern port area.

At this time, hundreds of ordinary fishman guards could be seen at the port, constantly transporting the corpses of the strange fish.

Even though Su Wang arranged 2 transport fishmen, the piles of fish carcasses at the port still could not be cleaned up.

These strange fish were only caught from the bottom defense area of ​​the dock.

Su Wang called out the overview map of the dock and checked the current situation.

As soon as I saw it, I broke out in a cold sweat.

There are mine circles on all four sides of the dock.

After half an hour, not a single strange fish was seen within 50 meters around the port.

Without mines as the bottom line of defense,

Of the more than 2.6 murloc guards arranged, there are now less than 5 left.

Even the terminal durability, which had been fully restored during the day, had lost more than 60 points.

Previously, we were focused on dealing with the strange ship and neglected to pay attention to the current situation of the dock.

But Su Wang didn't expect that

In just over twenty minutes, more than 2 fishman guards suffered such a huge loss.

Su Wang hurriedly activated the Fish Soul Altar to incubate and replenish the fishman guards on the bottom line of defense.

At the same time, he also checked the harvest of fish souls in the fish hold.

After some searching, 34 fish souls were taken out.

This shows that

In just half an hour, more than 3 strange fish carcasses were transported and decomposed.

And this is only because the number of fishman guards transported is insufficient, so only so many can be transported and disassembled during this period.

Su Wang immediately embedded the newly acquired fish soul into the fish soul altar to add new troops.

Of the 34 fish souls currently obtained,

Su Wang saw that there were 4 silver-level fish souls among them, which meant that there was at least a silver-level monster fish attack in this red tide.

Add 800 newly hatched common fishmen guards to the transport team.

The remaining 1.2 higher-level fishman guards were all sent to the bottom area of ​​the dock to provide reinforcements and stabilize the precarious defense line.

Compared to the ordinary red night last night,
This red tide seemed to have attracted all the strange fish from farther and deeper waters.

Fortunately, the other docks had mines as layers of defense.

This is why we didn't face the situation of being attacked by a large number of strange fish near the pier in a short period of time.

"This dock is truly not something that an ordinary person, or in other words, it is not something that a single person could build..."

Su Wang realized that he had underestimated the difficulty of building a dock.

If I hadn't been lucky enough to get the mine scroll and had a lot of fish coins to use.

Otherwise, with the resistance of 4.72 fishman guards, they would not be able to even withstand this small-scale red tide.

It is very likely that we will not be able to hold out for more than 10 minutes before we face the crisis of the dock being destroyed.

Su Wang couldn't help but think,

The native humans of this world want to build a new dock,

They must have brought in a large number of fleets and fish souls from other docks in advance and made sufficient preparations before they dared to face the red tide.

Realizing that this small-scale red tide also poses a threat beyond expectations,
Su Wang immediately returned to the Wangxin and drove the boat to check the minefields outside the ports on all four sides.

If we want the red tide to end, we have to maintain the mine defense line for at least 40 minutes.

By turning on the sonar radar to scan,
Su Wang only needs to steer the Wangxin to cruise in the waters about 500 meters outside the port to check the underwater situation 1800 meters away from the dock.

By scanning the underwater situation,

At present, in addition to more mines involved in the northern port, the strange fish tide has not even broken through the first circle of mines.

Outside the other three ports, the strange fish tide has already broken through the second layer of mine protection circle.

"No, it's not enough..."

Su Wang saw this,

He immediately drove the Heart of Destruction around the waters 450 meters outside each side of the port and added an extra layer of minefields.

This time, 50 mines were dropped every 10 meters, each sinking and floating 50 meters apart.

It cost 14 fish coins to set up a denser and more solid mine defense line.

"It should be fine now."

Each time a layer of mine circle is consumed, the number of monster fish that come from the red tide will be reduced. When you can break through this layer of mine circle,
I believe the sea purification ability should also be activated. By then, the last layer of mine circle will be enough to last until the sea purification ability kills the remaining monster fish tides.

"Other docks rely on fleets to deal with red tides, but here we rely on fishing coins..."

Su Wang couldn't help but feel both amused and annoyed.

Just for a pier with a side diameter of 3 kilometers, more than 50 fish coins were spent.

Fortunately, the pier is only 3 kilometers long.

If the diameter is expanded a little bit, if you want to build a defense line with mines alone, the fish coins consumed will probably be a huge amount!
The mine defense line has been further reinforced.
Su Wang then returned to the dock to carry out the timely inlay and replenishment of the fish soul to ensure that there would be no problems with the dock's bottom defense line.

At the same time, it also prepares for the final harvest.

When the sea purification ability is activated, the final harvest time will come.

A large amount of fish coins were consumed this time, and the demand for various types of fish materials at the dock was also huge.

Whether or not you can accumulate sufficient initial development funds depends on how much you can catch in the end.

According to the law that the fish corpse will sink in half an hour, the strange fish killed by the first two layers of mine circles will definitely not be able to survive until the final moment.

However, there is a chance to catch the strange fish killed by the two layers of mines at the back.

Wait until then,
The more Murloc Guardians you have available for salvaging, the greater the amount of fish you can catch.

...

In the following time,
Su Wang's job was to wait for the fishmen guards to deliver and dissect the fish.

Every time a new fish soul is obtained,

He promptly embedded and hatched the murloc guards and added them to the bottom line of defense at the dock.

At the same time, about 10 minutes apart,

He drove the Wangxin 500 meters away from the dock to check whether the red tide fish had broken through the mine circle.

When the sea purification ability is about to be activated,
The schools of strange red tide fish outside the harbor on all sides had just touched the newly added circle of dense mines.

Seeing this situation, Su Wang was completely relieved.

The remaining number of mines should be enough to support the sea purification capability to kill these red tide fish.

And over these twenty minutes,
By continuously increasing the number of transporting fishman guards, the speed of fish decomposition has been greatly improved.

There are as many as 76 new fish souls added to the fish soul altar, and there are still a large number of fish remaining in an undecomposed state.

By the time Su Wang hatched the new murloc guard, the one-hour deadline had finally arrived.

[Fool's Wharf has activated the Level 1 Sea Cleansing ability, with a range of 5 nautical miles.]

[After 24 hours, the 5-nautical-mile area around Fool's Pier will be transformed into a pure sea area.]

[After the next expansion is completed, Fool's Wharf will be integrated into the Azure Wharf Alliance.]

"Here it comes!" A flash of joy appeared in Su Wang's eyes.

Not only was the sea purification ability activated, but an additional piece of new information was also obtained.

Just extend the dock one more time,
It will be possible to connect with other local ports in this world, and then perhaps the population problem can be solved!

With the appearance of the prompt,
A brilliant blue halo suddenly burst out from the dock and quickly spread from underwater to the distance.

And as the aperture expands, only one or two minutes later,
Su Wang saw that hundreds of meters away from the dock, a huge number of fish carcasses began to emerge from the bottom of the water.

The sea surface, which was already filled with floating fish carcasses due to the explosion of mines, suddenly became crowded.

Because it was so crowded, many strange fish carcasses floated to the waters near the dock and port.

Seeing this scene,
Su Wang immediately asked the ordinary fishman guards at the dock to stop the transportation and go into the water to catch the corpse of the strange fish.

Most of the fish that are floating up now are the corpses of ordinary monster fish.

After waiting for a few more minutes, even the Black Iron-level monster fish will die.

Until then,
The number of strange fish underwater will be greatly reduced, and the fishman guards will be able to free up some time to catch the corpses of strange fish.

A few minutes passed in a flash.
Ordinary fishman guards traveled back and forth between the waters near the dock and the port.

In just a few minutes, the dead fish quickly filled up the dock and port area.

As the sea cleaning capability continues to take effect,
Black iron-level strange fish began to die, and the number of strange fish corpses floating on the sea surface increased several times again in a short period of time.

see,

Su Wang immediately withdrew nearly one-third of the fishman guards from the bottom defense line of the dock and sent them all out to catch the fish carcasses.

Ordinary-level murloc guards were tasked with cleaning up the fish carcasses in the harbor to make room for new catches.

Including the bronze and silver-level strange fish that have not died underwater and have been attracted by the mines, it should take about an hour to salvage the fish.

It takes 1 to 2 minutes for a murloc guard to carry the fish corpse back.

Su Wang sent out more than 4 merman guards for salvage.

In this hour, we have to catch at least hundreds of thousands of strange fish!

Su Wang is always paying attention to the information of items stored in the fish tank.

As soon as a fish soul appears, it will be immediately assembled on the fish soul altar to hatch the fishman guard, further speeding up the speed of catching fish corpses in the water.

Wait until more than ten minutes have passed.

When even the corpses of bronze-level monster fish began to surface on the water, Su Wang withdrew more than half of the fishman guards from the bottom defense line of the dock.

All invested in the process of catching fish.

Seeing the piles of strange fish corpses on the dock, Su Wang was so excited that his eyes turned red and bloodshot.

“It’s coming! It’s really coming this time!”

Such a huge catch of fish,
It can not only provide a large number of dock facilities,
Even the materials needed to upgrade the Heart of Destruction to a Level 5 vehicle are likely to be available!
