Chapter 049 The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng
It was still chilly in spring, and before daybreak, people along the coast had already set out to sea in their boats. These villagers, who made their living from the sea, did this year after year; if they went too late, there would be no good places to fish.
Zhao Da is a veteran fisherman with many years of experience. He is very familiar with the surrounding waters. He only needs to look at the weather and seasons and calculate which season it is today to know which sea area will have fish. He can catch fish seven out of ten times, so he is called the Fisherman by many fishermen.
Whenever he went fishing, the fishermen who followed him out on the boat were numerous like stars. They did not follow him for nothing, and they would spontaneously collect some money as the guide fee.
Zhao Da did not refuse. All his skills were passed down from his ancestors, and his father also relied on this for a living. But he didn't ask for much, he just collected it as he pleased. We all came from the same place as you fishermen and were members of our own family, so we had to help each other out.
This year is a good year. Zhao Da was smiling as soon as he got up, so the fishermen who went out to sea with him knew that they would definitely have a good harvest this time.
If they catch more fish, they can buy more money and have a good new year. How can they not be happy?
Even though the sea wind was cold enough to freeze human bones, it could not stop the heat that surged from their hearts.
The boat rowed for more than half an hour, and Zhao Da raised his hands: "Stop!"
All the boats stopped in response, and the fishermen on the boats suppressed their excitement and stared at the fisherman who was giving orders.
Zhao Da slowly bent down, lay on the boat's railing, put his hand into the sea water, and concentrated on feeling the current beneath the surface of the sea.
After a while, he stood up, turned around and waved his hands three times. This was his secret signal to everyone, meaning: spread out the net!
Dozens of fishing boats dispersed one after another, and the fishermen dragged out the fishing nets in an orderly manner. Several people held the tow ropes of the fishing nets together, staring closely at Zhao Da in the front, ready to throw the fishing nets in their hands with all their strength at any time.
The fishing boat was swaying with the waves. Zhao Da closed his eyes and didn't know what he was listening to. After a long while, he suddenly opened his eyes, and it seemed that lightning was about to shoot out of them. He waved his hands vigorously, and shouted with all his strength: "Go!"
Dozens of extra-large fishing nets were thrown into the dark sea like flowers scattered from the sky. Once the nets sank into the sea, only two of the fishermen holding the nets were left dragging the tow ropes of the fishing nets. The rest picked up the wooden sticks on the boat and beat the boat gongs rhythmically.
The fishing boats formed a big circle, and the knocking sounds echoed in all directions. The mixed sounds were transmitted under the sea surface, and the fish schools that were swept by the wind were frightened and gathered towards the center.
Just by hearing the swimming sounds coming from beneath the sea, the fishermen knew that this net could catch a lot of fish without Zhao Da saying anything.
Whenever the fishermen thought about the price they could get for these fish, their faces lit up and they became more cautious, for fear that they would accidentally let the fish escape.
After a while, Zhao Dacai thought it was almost time, so he shouted, "Collect! Collect!"
The net must be pulled in quickly and neatly. If any one person pulls it too fast or too slow, their harvest of this trip will be greatly reduced.
The fishermen did not dare to be careless here. * They were like well-trained soldiers, dragging the fishing nets in unison under the command of the general. The harder they pulled, the harder they had to pull, and in the end everyone pulled so hard that veins bulged and their faces turned red.
Fish, they caught a lot of fish!
There were so many that even the compartment for storing the fish was full!
The fishermen looked at the abundant harvest and couldn't help but cheer loudly. This was the largest and easiest harvest they had ever had in all these years!
Only Zhao Da did not cheer and dance with joy like the people around him, but instead looked completely confused.
This time, fishing was too easy. If it were the same as in previous years, they would have to spend an hour or two just rowing the boat, and if they wanted to return with a full load, they would have to cast the net at least five or six times. But this time...
Zhao Da comforted himself that it was probably because of the good year and the abundance of fish in the sea that made this trip so easy. But the more he thought about it, the more nervous he felt, as if something in the sea was spying on them, causing cold sweat to break out on his back.
No, they have to go back quickly!
So Zhao Da shouted loudly a few times, urging them: "He's back! He's going back to the dock to sell fish!"
Everyone had no doubts about it. The fish had to be sold as soon as possible while it was fresh. A lively fish and a half-dead fish had different prices.
A dozen fishing boats turned around one after another and headed in the direction they came from.
But the less you want something to come, the faster it will come.
The excited fishermen and the worried Zhao Da were unaware that, looking down from above, they saw a huge shadow passing quickly and silently under their fishing boats, like the legendary underwater ghost.
But it is not a ghost wandering around the seabed; it is a monster that comes to hunt.
The fishing boats had moved less than a hundred meters when a huge sound of water was heard, followed by the sudden rise of waves. The fishing boats that were neatly arranged in a goose shape were all overturned. The people who were caught off guard and the struggling fish in the cabin fell into the dark and dull sea water. The biting cold instantly soaked everyone, and the originally excited people suddenly became panic-stricken.
Fortunately, the boat capsized, the fish were gone, and everyone floated safely.
While Zhao Da was struggling in the water to steady himself, he looked up and called out everyone's name one by one. It was not until the last person answered him that the panic on his face faded a little.
Before he could raise his voice to comfort the frightened people, a streak of purple-white lightning suddenly flashed across the dark sky, and the deafening thunder frightened everyone so much that they couldn't stop shaking.
The light brought by the lightning instantly illuminated the dark sea. As soon as the thunder died down, another loud noise sounded.
It was not the sound of thunder or waves, but the cry of some huge creature.
——A monster larger than the official ship leaped out from the bottom of the sea.
Then came the light brought by lightning, and everyone's pupils constricted as they followed the monster leaping high in fear.
It was pitch black, like a fish but not a fish, with a pair of horns on its head, some like horns, and some like twisted coral branches in the sea, with terrible lightning lingering on these horns. Its fins were long and wide, longer and wider than their fishing boats, with three pairs of them. The waves that suddenly overturned all the boats came from these three pairs of fins.
The monster's shadow covered everyone. It leaped very high, but it would eventually fall down.
The monster's strong fish tail snapped twice, and its head fell down first. It had no eyes, but it could accurately sense the people floating and struggling on the sea. It opened its big mouth and aimed at the humans below. The dark inside made its mouth full of sharp teeth look extremely terrifying.
The people shouted to all the gods for help, but they struggled desperately in vain, and their cries were extremely miserable.
Zhao Da thought this was the last scene he would see in his life.
Just as the monster was about to swallow them all in one gulp, a huge golden light exploded behind the monster, and the dark sky was instantly lit up.
Zhao Da saw a gun.
A golden gun with patterns carved on it that he couldn't recognize but that he instinctively felt were very sacred.
The gun pierced the man-eating beast.
“Buzz!——”
The monster immediately let out a painful roar, and before the sound faded away, red-gold flames burst out from the gun, instantly igniting the monster!
In the blink of an eye, the monster that was big enough to swallow hundreds of people in one bite was burned to ashes, scattered on the sea in golden light, and was completely swallowed by the sea.
And the gun also turned into golden light.
However, no one paid any attention to the shocking scene. They all looked up at the sky that was illuminated in gold. Even though their eyes were burned by the golden light and they couldn't stop crying, no one was the first to look away.
There is a person in the sky.
A man with six golden wings on his back, holding two golden spears, and wearing golden and white armor.
He was hanging high in the sky, and the golden light that dyed the entire sky was emanating from Him. People floating on the sea could not see His face clearly, but could only see a blurry figure.
But they know—
This is the God who saved their lives!
God looked down upon them, seemingly sad and indifferent.
After a while, the two golden spears turned into golden light and disappeared. He raised his left hand and waved it lightly at them.
The people whose bodies had been soaked in the icy sea water until they lost consciousness were suddenly enveloped by invisible warmth. The coldness that had penetrated into their bones was forcefully driven away. They could not hold back their tears, and even the seven or eight foot tall men were choking with sobs.
Warmer golden light poured down from the sky, and in the blink of an eye, they found themselves on the safe shore. Even their fishing boat that had been overturned by the monster was docked safely at the pier.
The cabin was filled with fish jumping around lively.
The god who saved them disappeared.
After that day, the news that a god had come from outer space spread along with the golden light that dyed the entire sky. Suddenly, countless people, under the banner of visiting gods and searching for immortals, rushed to this remote fishing town that had been deserted before.
…
The god who saved the fishermen disappeared into the sky after saving them. Not long after, he reappeared on a deserted small island.
The white sand was blown away by the wind, and the god with six golden wings fluttered lightly to the ground. Three pairs of wings were folded neatly, and the remaining one third was dragged forward. The golden feathers left obvious marks on the beach. If you listen carefully, you can actually hear the faint sound of metal friction.
The slightly fishy sea breeze blew towards her, ruffling her long silver-white hair. The golden and white crown hung on her hair, sparkling brightly under the rising sun, so brilliant.
This god is Tarona who has just entered this world.
After reading the forum, she chose to fuse the vest card outside the mission world, thereby reducing the possibility of the main body being attacked unconsciously by the world consciousness as soon as it entered the mission world.
As soon as she came in, she happened to encounter an incident of a giant beast eating people.
Without time to think, Tarona instinctively threw a gun and pierced the giant beast. The flames bursting out from the gun almost instantly burned such a huge beast into ashes.
She then spent some time figuring out where the people had come from, and while sending them back she also helped them catch the boat and the fish, so that they wouldn't get such a big shock and end up with nothing.
After sending the people away, she randomly found an uninhabited island as a temporary place to stay.
Although the wings are very cool, it is better to fold them up.
Tarona tried for a while but failed. The vest card's instinct was not online. In desperation, she had to adjust the synchronization rate from 15% to 20%.
The three pairs of wings that were big enough to wrap around her twice were successfully folded up and turned into two wide light golden ribbons that trailed on the ground, one on the left and one on the right, falling on her shoulders, which was very consistent with her golden and white armor.
But even though the synchronization rate increased by 5 percent in one breath, this vest card did not convey any emotional fluctuations to Tarona. It was as quiet as a body of water that was completely frozen.
Tarona touched his chin curiously, first bought some props to modify his appearance, then skillfully adjusted the western appearance of the vest card to an eastern appearance, and then leisurely clicked on the settings of the vest card.
After browsing through it, she understood why this vest card had no emotional fluctuations -
SSR [Mechanical Angel], in his setting, he is the most powerful weapon created by the Supreme God. Although he looks the same as other angels, he has no emotions and is truly heartless.
God said: "You should eliminate all evil in the world. You are the defender of order, the judge of sin, and the most powerful weapon in the world."
Weapons, on the other hand, require no emotions.
Tarona raised her eyebrows. The [Blood Nun] was obsessive and crazy, and the [Mechanical Angel] was ruthless and heartless. She had drawn both of these opposite extremes. She was considered extremely lucky.
Having little emotional fluctuation is a good thing, but... having no emotions at all, is that a good thing?
