Chapter 152 Fishing for Sacrifice
"Ah... this, since the sea is slippery, I'd better turn back into a dragon, after all, dragons can fly."
As the waves continued to rise and fall, in the dim crew lounge, Xia suddenly thought of a perfect way to avoid turning into a human.
"That's right, it's more convenient to turn into a dragon."
After Xia's reminder, Li Feng suddenly remembered that on the sea, it would be better to turn back into a flying dragon than to turn into a human.
Realizing that he had overlooked an important issue, Li Feng laughed at himself:
"How could I forget that you are not actually a human."
Hearing that Li Feng did not insist, Xia, who was embarrassed and uneasy in her heart, breathed a sigh of relief.
She was just worried, what if Li Feng used the power of the contract to force herself to turn into a human.
This small cabin, the dim light, and the bed didn't even have a quilt to cover it...
But fortunately, this human can make sense and has no habit of forcing himself.
Xia, who was a little scared and a little relieved, immediately agreed with Li Feng and laughed:
"Yes, I am not a human at all.
Eh? Are you scolding me?"
Just thinking about it, Xia just repeated Li Feng's words, and then Xia reacted.
After years of being in human society, she knew that humans scolded people like this.
"Really? I was just stating the facts."
Li Feng picked up the black formal jacket on the back of the chair, put it on over the white shirt, and laughed jokingly.
He didn't mean it, but since Xia thought too much, Li Feng thought it was funny and simply admitted it generously.
"Eh? Eh!"
Hearing Li Feng's defense that was basically an admission, Xia wanted to refute, but couldn't find a reason for a while.
She could only follow Li Feng angrily, walked out of the room in the dark, and went on the deck.
The night was heavy with moisture and the breeze was very cool.
In the open sea far away from the land, except for the lights of the surprise attack above, everything around was dark.
Li Feng stood by the fence on the deck and threw the dolphin into the water.
The transparent crystal dolphin, which looked like a decorative ornament, grew silently and quietly after encountering the sea water.
Although it was still transparent, its body shape and flexibility were no different from those of a real adult dolphin.
The dark sea water splashed with waves, and the transparent dolphin rolled in the sea and stopped beside the Surprise.
Then, with the reflection of the moon in the sky, Li Feng saw the dolphin clearly. He easily flipped over the deck fence, then jumped down and jumped onto the dolphin's back.
As Li Feng jumped off the Surprise, the black cat standing on the fence also jumped down.
But Xia did not fall on the dolphin's back, but when in the air, he restored his black young dragon body.
Together with Li Feng, he disappeared into the darkness.
Controlling the dolphin to slightly move away from the Surprise, Li Feng and Xia began to catch lightning eels in a place where the light of the Surprise could not find it.
Take out the fishing rod prepared in advance, and there is a blood vine that Li Feng has hung on the hook.
Bloodvine is a blood-red bulbous plant, and its shape is somewhat like an onion.
But compared with the purple onion, the bloodvine is blood-red all over and exudes a special smell.
It smells like mint mixed with fishy smell.
Although most humans can't stand this smell.
But Li Feng learned from the book that the lightning eels that usually live in the open sea like this smell very much.
Generally speaking, as long as the bloodvine enters the water, it will soon attract nearby eels.
The Sad Theater has a total of seven floors, and Li Feng and Xia have passed one floor.
So they only need to fish for six lightning eels tonight.
Under the moonlight, the dark sea surface splashed a little bit of waves, and the fish hook entered the water.
Li Feng sat on the transparent dolphin and waited, and Xia flew in the air, concentrating and alert.
Maybe it was Li Feng's fishing talent, or maybe he drank the lucky potion beforehand, or maybe it was the blessing knot of the light praying person sent by Huang Yanyan.
In short, not long after, eight frozen lightning eels were loaded into Li Feng's dragon bag.
It is not easy to go fishing for eels without being noticed by anyone, and Li Feng likes to be thorough, so he caught two more to prevent accidents.
The night wind brought the moisture of the sea, and a bright moon was on the dark sky.
Seeing that tonight must happen, the sacrifices have been prepared in excess, looking at a little light in the distance, that is the surprise attack that has already sailed a little far away.
Li Feng put away the fishing rod, drove the non-existent dolphin to catch up with the hunting boat, and Xia also flew towards the light.
The transparent dolphin nimbly cut through the sea, splashing lightless waves in the night.
The non-existent dolphin of the relic is extremely fast in the sea, and so is Xia, who has the advantage of flying.
They quickly chased the light, but gradually, they found that the distance between them and the light did not get closer at all.
"What's going on?"
Because the matter of the lightning eel has been dealt with, and there is nothing else to do at the moment.
Li Feng, who is on the back of the dolphin, has already started to think about the new island he may land on tomorrow morning.
But now, he is suddenly awakened by staring at the light point a little further away.
When sailing late at night, the Surprise Attack will not open the turbine to the maximum, let alone overload the turbine.
So, the Surprise Attack simply cannot have a speed that the dolphins and young dragons cannot catch up with.
"Did we encounter something?"
Xia said to Li Feng, she felt bad.
In the world of the Endless Sea, there are too many things in the sea that cannot be explained, and there are too many unknown dangers.
"You wait here, I'll fly over to take a look."
Xia said to Li Feng.
"Okay."
Li Feng nodded in agreement.
Shia can fly, so he must be much more flexible than he is in water.
Under the cover of night, the young dragon flashed its wings and moved forward quickly.
After a while, through the contract, Shia told Li Feng:
"That's not the Raid's light, it's something imitating the Raid."
"Imitate? What is imitating?"
Li Feng frowned, feeling bad that he actually encountered something weird.
"It's a low-level sea monster without intelligence. It's imitating the Astonishment to attract other ships."
Shia replied.
‘A sea monster without intelligence? ’
Li Feng looked around while thinking about Shia's words.
If that light is not the Surprise, what about the real Surprise?
"Lai Yin, come quickly."
While Li Feng was thinking this, Shia's rather anxious tone came:
"I saw the Surprise Attack. It is being wrapped by a sea monster. I'm afraid it is about to be dragged to the bottom of the sea."
"okay, I get it."
No longer thinking about anything else, Li Feng drove the relic dolphin and drove forward at the fastest speed.
At the same time, fire suddenly appeared in the night sky not far away, and Shia used fire element spells on the sea monster.
Because of the extremely fast speed of the relic dolphin and Shia's attack on the sea monster.
As an unusually unpleasant smell came, Li Feng had arrived near the Surprise Attack, which was wrapped by a sea monster.
Under the sky that was illuminated by Shia's spell from time to time, he finally saw the sea monster clearly.
It was a creature larger than the Surprise Hunting Ship. It looked a bit like a starfish, but much softer than a starfish.
At this time, its flat and wide tentacles were attached to the Surprise Attack, holding it forward.
The first light Li Feng and Xia saw was the light emitted by the ends of the flat tentacles.
But as Shia said, the sea monster is indeed without intelligence, a low-level supernatural creature.
Now, Shia attacks the sea monster with fire, and the sea monster will only wave two flat tentacles in the air to hit Shia.
But Shia is a young dragon with a flexible body, and her clumsy tentacles can't get close to the young dragon at all.
It was probably biological instinct. Seeing that Shia could not be defeated, the sea monster tried to drag the Assault, which was wrapped by it, into the bottom of the sea.
Seeing this, Li Feng immediately climbed onto the deck from the hanging ladder. He looked around and saw that the ship was completely dark.
Except for the sound of the sea monster and Shia fighting, the deck and cabin were extremely quiet, and on the surface, there was no trace of the fight at all.
There was such a big commotion, where were the captain and crew?
I couldn't help but worry, but the next second.
As the indescribable odor from the sea monster flooded into his nose again, Li Feng suddenly felt dizzy in his head.
But then, he also understood the situation of the captain and crew.
They were all mortals, and they probably couldn't bear the smell and fell into a coma temporarily.
Seeing this, Li Feng no longer cared about it.
"boom!"
The recoil of the large-caliber deck gun made the Assault's hull tremble violently.
The steel cannonball was shot out from the muzzle, carrying a string of sparks, and quickly hit the sea monster surrounding the ship.
Along with the violent shaking of the hull, white-green viscous liquid fell from the sky, which was the blood of the sea monster.
Seeing that the cannonballs were useless against this giant sea monster that had no intelligence and was inferior to the supernatural, Li Feng continued to fire one after another.
Accompanied by the gunfire on the deck, Shia kept using fire element spells to attack the sea monster in the air.
Under such intense fire, within a short while, Li Feng felt that the sea monster could no longer bear it.
It began to let go of the flat tentacles tightly attached to the hull and slowly slid toward the deep sea.
This sea monster is trying to escape.
Seeing this, Li Feng stopped firing, and Shia also fell from the sky.
This is at sea. As long as the sea monster sinks into the deep sea, they will definitely not risk chasing it.
Even if the sea monster is a low-level extraordinary creature and has no intelligence, it is not so easy to kill just because of its huge size.
However, Li Feng was afraid that it would call his companions, so he had to quickly leave the sea area now.
It's not that you can't beat him, it's just that when you fight, the gains outweigh the losses.
The Surprise Attack is a huge steam hunting ship. To make it move, Li Feng and Shia cannot control it.
At that moment, seeing that the danger had receded, Li Feng immediately went to the captain's cabin.
as expected.
Captain Andrew, the captain of the Surprise, and another crew member on duty were already unconscious on the ground.
"What should I do? They are all mortals. If they smell the smell of the sea monster, they may not be able to wake up for a while."
Shia looked around the cabin and found that the crew members were in a coma.
"Open all the windows you can and let the wind in. I'll try this first."
Hearing what Li Feng said, Shia quickly ran to open the window.
Li Feng took out a bottle of medicine from his arms.
This potion was made by Gard, Faranir's grandson.
When Li Feng was sorting out his belongings, he saw the label on the medicine bottle, and the column for the effect said "Extremely refreshing."
Although I don’t know if it is useful, but under the current circumstances, I can only give it a try.
Quickly uncorking the glass bottle, Li Feng placed the bottle filled with solid medicine under Andrew's nose and let him smell it.
Perhaps Gad was really a genius in alchemy. After a while, Captain Andrew regained consciousness.
He slowly opened his eyes, saw Li Feng, and recalled what happened just now.
According to the captain's recollection, when he was sailing the boat just now, he suddenly found something holding the boat.
But just as he was about to check and notify all crew members to prepare for war, he smelled an extremely unpleasant odor.
After that, he knew nothing.
Li Feng nodded and listened to his story while using medicine to treat other unconscious crew members.
Under the influence of the fresh sea breeze and the refreshing potion, it didn't take long for all the crew to recover.
Simply, they were just unconscious and no one was injured.
Naturally, Li Feng also made up a story about them. He asked about the smell in his sleep, and then because he was an extraordinary person, he was not unconscious, and used the deck gun to counter the sea monster's remarks.
After everyone heard about the sea monster, they were all very frightened and thankful that Li Feng was there.
Captain and the others have encountered wind, waves, and strange extraordinary creatures on the sea.
But this is the first time I have seen something so huge that can make people lose the ability to resist and become unconscious in the first place.
"Seven Gods, Lai Yin, you saved me again, once again."
Captain John, who was hanging by one arm, couldn't help but hold Li Feng's hand and said excitedly.
He had been sleeping in his room before the sea monster appeared, and then fell into a coma due to the sea monster.
Thinking that the danger was all around him, but he was completely unaware of it from beginning to end, Captain John couldn't help but feel extremely scared.
"Yes, Mr. Lai Yin, if it weren't for you, we old guys would be here tonight."
Captain Andrew said the same.
Looking back on what happened in the past two days, Andrew not only thanked Li Feng for fighting against the sea monster, but also thanked him for lending a helping hand that day and being willing to go to sea to help.
After all, there are many extraordinary beings in Windbreath City.
But Mr. Lai Yin is the only one who is really willing to help them make a living at sea.
"Captain, you're welcome. I've also been shipwrecked. If it weren't for Captain John, I would have ended up on a desert island."
Li Feng is also well versed in the ways of the world. After a few words, the captain and crew were not only grateful to him, but even established a life-long friendship with him.
Looking at the east that was gradually lighting up outside the porthole, Li Feng opened a can of fish for Shia, who had turned back into a cat.
Then he asked Captain Andrew and John about business:
“I heard that at sea, cargo ships and passenger ships all follow fixed routes, and even hunting ships hunt in fixed areas.
Merchant ships come and go on these routes, and those things in the sea no longer come close.
But we just encountered a sea monster, have we already veered off course? "
In fact, before Li Feng asked, the two captains were already aware of this problem.
At sea, it is dangerous to not follow a fixed route.
So, according to their original plan.
The Surprise Attack will travel along route C-91 and is expected to arrive at the target sea area early tomorrow morning and then turn to the north where the new island is located.
In this way, the route distance can be guaranteed to the greatest extent.
However, last night, they first encountered a huge sea monster on the route of the ships.
The unintelligent sea monster dragged the Surprise sailing for a long time. It stands to reason that during the fight, they should have deviated from the course long ago.
But after looking at the compass and chart, and using the telescope to repeatedly observe the surrounding sea area.
Andrew discovered that for some reason, they were still on route C-91.
What's more, the Surprise Attack has actually reached the target sea area.
Now, as long as they drive due north, they can reach the destination of their trip - the new island.
Despite the danger, no time was wasted on the voyage.
But the weirdness revealed in this incident made Captain John and Andrew feel terrified.
They told Li Feng their current location, and Li Feng also felt a little incredible.
"Maybe we are just lucky."
said Captain John, who was hanging by one arm.
As he spoke, he picked up the telescope and looked to the north, wanting to verify whether there was a new island there.
as expected.
Due north of the Surprise Attack, a small island really appeared in the distance.
According to the markings on the chart, that small island was an unknown new island that appeared during the storm a few days ago.
John was a little excited to see the new island. He handed the telescope to Andrew and asked him to confirm.
After Andrew looked carefully, he handed the telescope to Li Feng and said to him:
"Mr. Lai Yin, that is the new island that appeared in that storm."
Li Feng took the telescope and observed the new island through the telescope.
The island has a snow-white beach and dense forests.
Looking at it from a distance, it is deserted and very primitive.
‘It seems that the storm really brought a new island. ’
