Chapter 57: Black Ship in the Mist
As we sailed, the tall lighthouse became smaller and smaller in our view.
At the beginning, Chen Qi's boat followed behind the main group.
After sailing for nearly an hour, they were already quite far away from Moonstone City.
The moonlight shone down, and the entire sea was covered with a layer of black ink.
Chen Qi walked out of the boathouse holding a kerosene lamp and looked at the sea in front of him.
In the distance, a large school of fish was gleaming blue, like a beautiful ribbon of crystal sand floating across the sea.
It's a moonfish!
Everyone became excited instantly.
"Brothers, let's live!"
"Pay attention to what you salvage. If there is anything mutated or rancid, burn it immediately and throw it into the sea."
"Be careful, don't confuse the moonfish with the will-o'-the-wisp fish!"
The boats in front of him began to fish.
"Huh, it's time to leave the main force."
Chen Qi looked around and saw some faint blue flames lighting up on the sea in the distance.
It's probably a ghost fish...
"Deep Sea Water Elves, you push the boat from behind."
Chen Qi snapped his fingers.
"Gurgle gurgle."
The seven deep sea elves understood what he meant, caught the bug, jumped away → jumped into the sea, and became the second engine of the small houseboat.
While people were engrossed in the moonlight fish, Chen Qi turned the boat around, and with the hard push of the deep-sea elves, his boat rushed quickly towards the school of ghost fish in the distance like a full-power speedboat.
The will-o'-the-wisp oil on the will-o'-the-wisp fish is a rare and practical material.
Accelerating, his boat soon arrived at the school of ghost fish.
The moment the school of will-o'-the-wisp fish saw his boat, they suddenly ignited a huge blue flame as a warning!
Although the temperature of these blue flames is not high, they are as sharp as a knife. If your hand touches the flame for a moment, you will bleed and your flesh and bones will be torn apart in an instant.
The blue fire formed by a group of ghost fish can even be as big as a mansion! Even the overlord of the coastal area has to be in awe!
This is also why the will-o'-the-wisp fish is extremely dangerous.
The will-o'-the-wisp fish has a very bad temper and is almost impossible to catch in the ocean without expensive catching tools.
Then, when they saw Chen Qi, they instantly extinguished the flames and swam away.
"Huh? Why are you running? I'm not a bad guy..."
Chen Qi looked at the school of will-o'-the-wisp fish.
The situation before him was beyond his expectations.
Most of the small sea beasts he encountered were very close to him, so Chen Qi always felt that his talent, in a sense, could be called a 'deep-sea succubus'.
Am I not a deep-sea succubus? Why don’t these ghost fish come near me?!
I can give you a massage!
Chen Qi was a little anxious.
Although the will-o'-the-wisp fish stopped its aggressive flames, it did not take the initiative to approach him.
Different species of sea beasts would react very differently to him.
"Although we can catch him this way, the efficiency is too low..."
Chen Qi scratched his ears and thought for a moment.
He immediately thought of a way to extract the things from the ghost fire fish.
Since he couldn't attract these ghost fish himself, he used extraordinary bait.
Chen Qi took out a fishing rod and an iron bucket.
He performed extraordinary fishing, condensing an extraordinary bait on the fishing rod, and then placed it on the water.
Next, he placed the deep sea elves around.
If you want to eat the bait, you have to swim past him.
“Soul Seasoning!”
For the sake of effect... Chen Qi used soul seasoning again to stimulate the delicious taste of the extraordinary bait.
The effect is outstanding!
Suddenly, the will-o'-the-wisp fish, which had been indifferent to him, smelled the scent of the bait and rushed towards it.
Sure enough, some fish cannot be attracted by smell, but by delicious food...
A will-o'-the-wisp fish approached the extraordinary bait.
Chen Qi, who was squatting by the boat, smiled sinisterly.
At the moment when it was about to bite the extraordinary bait, he suddenly grabbed the will-o'-the-wisp fish with his hands, and then with skillful gestures, he removed the layer of black oil on its body.
Will-o'-the-wisp oil is the main reason why the will-o'-the-wisp fish can emit will-o'-the-wisp.
This is a very good melee weapon paint. When applied on a weapon, it can make the weapon ignite with sharp blue flames, greatly enhancing the weapon's attack power.
This kind of will-o'-the-wisp oil is very rare in weapon shops.
The will-o'-the-wisp oil fished from a will-o'-the-wisp fish is worth eight thousand shell coins.
After pouring the black oil off and putting it into the iron bucket, Chen Qi threw the ghost fish back into the sea.
Got eight thousand shells!
There are so many will-o'-the-wisp fish, he can catch one as soon as it comes!
Eight thousand!
Eight thousand!
Eight thousand!
Chen Qi caught the ghost fish next to the extraordinary bait one by one as if they were picking up money, and then suddenly deducted the black oil.
Bang!
Bang!
One by one, the ghost fish were used up and thrown back into the sea.
The whole process was extremely skillful.
In about ten minutes, he collected will-o'-the-wisp oil from a hundred will-o'-the-wisp fish.
It’s enough to fill a barrel of will-o’-the-wisp oil!
Even in large weapon stores that specialize in selling weapon paints, it is difficult to have so much stock!
"call……"
Chen Qi wiped the sweat from his head.
Although on the sea, it is generally recognized that being a pirate or joining a gang can make a hundred times more money than fishing!
But in Chen Qi's opinion, he can still make a lot of money by fishing honestly.
In just ten minutes, he earned 800,000 shells!
Moreover, these will-o'-the-wisp oils can adhere to the black knife and strengthen his weapon.
Chen Qi turned his head contentedly.
At this moment, on the sea, there were a hundred will-o'-the-wisp fish that were unable to ignite, looking at him with a pitiful look.
Because Chen Qi's movements were too skillful, they didn't even get to take a bite before he caught them, deducted the will-o'-the-wisp oil from them, and mercilessly threw them into the sea.
"Um……"
Chen Qi touched his chin:
"Am I being a little cruel to the will-o'-the-wisp fish?"
Chen Qi coughed twice, and condensed two extraordinary fish baits again, placing them on the sea surface for the ghost fire fish to eat.
He is quite kind-hearted and would not mistreat the will-o'-the-wisp fish easily.
"Eat more. You need to work hard to grow new will-o'-the-wisp oil..."
Chen Qi apologized with a little guilt.
He planned to take a rest for a while and then go to this sea area to see if there were other groups of sea beasts.
At this moment, in the distance, a small fishing boat with its lights off was quietly approaching his small houseboat.
It was the man who had just glared at him on the shore.
Since the will-o'-the-wisp fish didn't catch fire just now, he thought Chen Qi was catching some ordinary fish.
Chen Qi felt it roughly and found that the opponent's spiritual power field had reached the second level.
The thin, flat-headed man approached Chen Qi's boat, picked up the lantern, and said viciously:
"Chef, you are the supervisor of the hunting ground, right? I am a cadre of the Black Rabbit Gang, one of the five rabbits.
In the hunting ground, I have a brother, nicknamed Scar Rabbit. After much thought, I think you are the only one who can defeat him in the hunting ground, besides the Flower Witch. "
There was a hint of malice in his eyes.
From what the other party said, he completely believed that the Flower Witch was the most likely perpetrator.
But now he has been found.
Chen Qi held up his chin and gently tapped the water elf under the water.
If it were at sea, even a Level 2 warrior would most likely not be his match.
Chen Qi smiled:
"Scar Rabbit? I do know a little about him..."
"Know!"
The thin man was not prepared to give Chen Qi a chance to speak. He said to Chen Qi:
"You are so brave to admit it. After this voyage, come to our Black Rabbit Gang headquarters. If you behave well and show sincerity, our Black Rabbit Gang is willing to forgive you."
Bang!
At this moment, he pulled out his gun and prepared to fire a shot at his houseboat as a warning.
However, Chen Qi took out his gun first and shot the other party.
Bang!
The opponent's reaction speed was quite fast. He used the lantern in his hand as a shield and easily blocked the bullet.
“You have guts!”
The thin man smiled slightly:
“Most of the second-level extraordinary people have mastered the body-building and breathing methods, and even meditation methods. Their reaction speed is also far superior to that of ordinary people.
In addition, there are physical fitness, spiritual perception, and extraordinary skills...
This means that we are very different from you who have just entered the extraordinary world."
However, before he finished speaking, he felt something.
When did the fog come? Chen Qi held his breath, his body felt a little cold.
It was foggy all around and the temperature was dropping rapidly!
Suddenly, something strange happened!
“You wait!
Damn it! Damn it! How the hell did I run into this thing! ""
The thin man shuddered all over, uttered a curse word, turned around, and tried to light his boat's lights.
In order to sneak up on Chen Qi, he had just turned off the boat's lights!
However, the moment he touched the boat light button, the small boat he was on suddenly shook violently, twitched violently, and then with a whoosh, the entire boat was suddenly pulled into the sea.
The other party, including the people and the boat, disappeared into the sea in an instant, as if they had never existed.
The faint pool of blood that appeared on the sea surface was the only evidence of the other party's presence.
"This is……"
Chen Qi's heartbeat kept getting faster and faster.
Before he knew it, a thin layer of fog appeared where he was.
In front of him, a hazy shadow gradually appeared in the fog.
A black wooden ship with its lights on and piled high with dark cargo slowly approached him.
On the boat, there was only a boatman holding a lantern.
The ship was getting closer.
Looking closely, the boatman had no flesh and blood on his body. He wore a tattered merchant's hat and his entire body was covered with charred skeletons.
When it was ten meters away from his small houseboat, the boat stopped.
Click, click!
From under the merchant's hat, some dark blue tentacles sprouted.
Then, it picked up the lantern and made a strange sound like bones colliding:
"Good evening...ah..."
