Chapter 180
===================
"We have reached the deep sea area." Lian Yun said calmly as he looked at the seashore with slight waves.
Everyone looked around and saw nothing here except them and the sea water.
"How...are we supposed to meet the mermaids?" Lina asked tentatively. "Just shout?"
It was obviously an absurd idea, but they looked at each other and nodded in unison.
"Let me go first?" Mogo noticed that everyone's eyes were on him, so he didn't refuse. He straightened his collar and cleared his throat.
"The Mermaid Tribe—!"
"Is anyone home?—"
“…”
The sea was calm, even calmer than before.
"I think you're shouting in the wrong way." Lina said seriously. After that, she turned around, took a deep breath and looked at the sea: "Are my brothers and sisters here? We are not here to destroy the sea, we are here to help the sea-"
"Your voice is too soft, that won't work." Mogo shook his head.
The two of them changed their tones and sentence structures until the sun set from its highest point to the west.
As the sky grew darker, the sea became darker, and the air grew colder. Mogo and Lina were tired and rested aside, rubbing their hands.
"It seems that this method doesn't work." Mogo took the blood bottle handed over by Lian Yun to replenish his strength.
"Sister." Lina looked up at the sky, then looked at Lian Yun pitifully: "Are we going to sleep on the sea?"
The boat is not very big, but it is big enough for several people to lie down and take a nap. However, the environment is a bit too harsh.
Lian Yun held his chin and looked at the sea without saying a word. When he heard Lina's question, he just took out a few furs from his backpack.
Seeing that she did not deny it, Lanner picked up the fur and spread it flat on one end.
"This fur is soft and warm enough to sleep on for one night." Lanna said to Lina.
Lina opened her eyes wide: "Really?"
Lian Yun nodded.
Lian Yun has been wondering what use his new skills will have.
[Rarity UP: Each cast will increase the rarity of the species caught.]
The skills unlocked by the system recently have been stranger than the last. This time's rarity increase and the last time's accurate fishing were both accompanied by BUFFs, so she didn't dare to use them lightly.
What if there is a monster boss in the sea that they have never seen before, and she can definitely catch it?
But Mogo and Lina shouted for the whole afternoon but there was no response at all, so Lian Yun couldn't help but want to give it a try.
They can't keep trying their luck at sea and replenishing their energy by drinking blood bottles.
The sooner she returns to the town, the better, and Luo's eyes are almost healed.
But the prerequisite for all this is to complete the tasks related to the mermaid tribe.
Everyone saw Lian Yun take out a fishing rod out of thin air, put out the line, and throw it towards the sea.
Lina: "Sister, you don't seem to have put any bait..."
Before Lina finished her words, the float that had just stabilized began to shake.
The float started to shake slightly and then became more violent, and finally flew out with the fishing rod pulled.
Lana was quick-eyed and quick-handed. The moment the fishing rod flew out of Lian Yun's hand, he leaned half of his body out and grabbed the fishing rod.
"Mogo!" Lana turned around and shouted, and Mogo hurried over and pulled up with him.
Mogo is a magician, and Lanna's physical fitness in all aspects is impeccable, but the two of them still felt tired when they pulled up the fishing rod together.
"Sir, what did you catch?!" Mogo was gritting his teeth as he struggled with the unknown creature on the other end of the fishing rod.
Lian Yun was cheering them on while staring at the water. When he heard the question, he felt a hint of helplessness: "If only I knew."
Things are indeed not simple.
"Is this an adult's skill?" Lana looked at Lian Yun. After receiving a positive response, she explained to her, "Although adults' skills are powerful, they are often out of control, which is unavoidable."
"Can you pull it up?" Lian Yun asked.
Lana nodded, exerting force on his arms, the veins on the back of his hands clearly visible.
The buoy was getting closer, the waves were shaking more and more, and the sea water near the buoy was constantly rising, as if some huge monster was about to appear -
“Snap!”
The hook broke through the water, and Lana and Mogo suddenly lost their strength and fell backwards.
Lian Yun quickly supported their backs, and the three of them looked at the fishing hook together -
"What's this?"
I saw a huge fish head that was three meters wide dangling at the other end of the fishing hook. It was cut at an angle with a neat cross-section, and the part below the head was nowhere to be found.
The round eyes had lost their luster, but it was not difficult to tell that it died at the moment it was about to break the surface of the water.
Its huge mouth was still tightly gripping the hook, and its dagger-like teeth were biting the hook as if it were biting its life-saving straw.
It looked like there was something a hundred times more terrifying than being hooked.
Several people looked at each other, and it was obvious that none of them knew what the monster was called, but they all knew that there must be something else in the water.
Lanna looked down into the water. It was blue and tranquil, reflecting the boat and his face, just as usual.
"This fish was beheaded just before it broke out of the water." Mogo removed the fish's head and threw it back into the sea as Lian Yun instructed. "Does that mean the thing chasing it... is still near us?"
After saying this, Mogo felt the air around him became colder, especially under his feet.
It seemed as if the monster would break out from the bottom of the ship at any second.
"It's possible." Lian Yun said solemnly, "I can't imagine anything that could frighten a monster of this size."
If the big fish was pulled out and fell onto the boat, it would probably capsize the boat.
Moreover, with her skills, such a large fish being caught was already rare enough. If it was a monster even rarer and more terrifying than this, it could have bitten the fish's section so neatly in one bite...
How should they respond?
At the moment, it was unknown whether the creature was intelligent or lying in ambush underwater. If it tried to capsize the boat, Lian Yun and his companions would be powerless to resist.
Lian Yun is actually very afraid of water, just like she is afraid of sharks, which are both her nightmares.
She has been holding it in well until now.
All kinds of unknown fears and dangers in the deep sea shrouded her. She seemed to be standing on an isolated island surrounded by the sea, no, even just a small boat. Any bigger waves could overturn it and bury them all in the deep sea.
She was so reckless that she actually took three people deep into the sea.
Although they can swim, how can they swim back to the shore over such a long distance?
"Go back." Lian Yun made a quick decision.
There was no point in regretting it, she had to send them back safely.
"boom--"
A loud thunder struck their ears, and they subconsciously thought that the ship was hit, but they quickly realized that it was the roar of dark clouds floating over the horizon.
Dark grey clouds surged in from the horizon like a mighty army, and were about to reach us in the blink of an eye. Lightning flashed in the clouds, and the boat under our feet began to shake.
Encountering a thunderstorm at sea is the worst possible situation.
The surface of the water seemed to echo the weather in the sky; the closer the dark clouds got, the more violently it shook.
Mogo and Lanna were rowing as fast as they could, but the first drop of rain fell, and bean-sized raindrops hit them one after another. The surging waves kept hitting the boat, causing it to change direction.
"No! I can't control the direction at all!" Lanna shouted.
The sounds of rain, thunder and water blended together, and Lian Yun could just hear Lanna's voice.
She held Lina in one hand and clung to the edge of the boat with the other. She looked up at Lanna, took off her cloak to shield Lina from the rain, stood up and staggered to Lanna's side: "It's easy to get lost at night. Don't worry, just go!"
This dark cloud is coming from one direction, so just leave this area.
Because no one dares to go to the deep sea area, the fishermen in Yuewan City only fish in the shallow sea area, so Yuewan City has never built a lighthouse.
And according to the information provided by A Yue, there has not been this kind of thunderstorm weather at sea for several years.
Is it God's will or...
"elder sister!"
Lian Yun turned around and happened to grab Lina who was about to fall off the boat.
Lina is petite and could easily be thrown off as the boat sways.
Lina climbed up Lian Yun's arm and, having survived the ordeal, she hugged Lian Yun's waist tightly: "Sister, I'm scared."
Everyone was almost soaked, and the rain dripped down Lian Yun's face onto Lina's brown hair. She lowered her head: "Don't be afraid, they will definitely come to pick us up when they see this kind of weather."
When encountering such weather, Lian Yun realized that although the boat made by the dwarf elder could not withstand being smashed, it could withstand the ravages of waves and the beating of rain.
"As long as we get out of this dark cloud, we will be safe."
Lian Yun hugged Lina tightly, while Lana and Mogo paddled with all their might.
After an unknown amount of time, Mogo suddenly shouted loudly: "...Sir!"
He put down the oar in his hand and pointed to the sky in the distance: "It's a sunny day over there!"
Even in the dark, you can clearly see the boundary between gray and blue.
"Let's go!" Mogo picked up the oar again, and the boat slid rapidly towards that side, and the gradually calming sea water no longer prevented them from leaving.
The raindrops hitting them gradually slowed down, and just as they were about to leave the dark clouds, Lanna and Mogo stopped one after another.
Lian Yun had a bad feeling in his heart and stood up and looked forward.
Another ship appeared in the distance beneath the edge of the dark clouds.
The ship also saw them, and the next second, it rushed towards them at full speed.
