Chapter 18: Offshore Overlord!
The deep-sea monster swayed its body and raised its head. Its sharp black scales danced with the surging waves, and its huge body was like a moving mountain.
The treasure of the deep-sea hunter did not deceive him, 'Fishing in the Storm' is a life skill that can catch fish even in a storm.
But is this really a fish?
Chen Qi stood on the boat, looked up at the huge monster that was at least twenty meters long, and touched his chin.
Fortunately, he thought he had encountered something strange.
If you look closely, it is just a terrifying sea dragon that can destroy an entire fleet.
He knew this monster. It was a species that liked to race wildly on the sea, and it was also one of the few monsters that frequently appeared in coastal areas.
Its name is the Black Ship Sea Dragon, and it is a well-known deep-sea species in the coastal area.
Judging from its size, this should be a juvenile.
If we ignore the special circumstances of Chenqi itself, this may be the most terrifying of the many legends of "black ships with lights on".
Because it is in the near sea, it has caused many serious maritime accidents.
Therefore, it also has a more domineering and more well-known title——
The overlord of the offshore!
Many people on the sea would tremble just by hearing this name!
It can be said that even the ships under the command of the four great pirate emperors would be in awe when they saw the overlord of the offshore.
However, despite their affinity for the deep sea, the huge difference in size still made Chen Qi slightly frightened.
"ha!"
The Black Ship Sea Dragon opened its bloody mouth, shook its black-scaled tail, and roared at Chen Qi!
What a big tone!
Chen Qi blocked it with his hands and looked at the huge sea dragon again.
"Hahaha--"
The black ship sea dragon's blue eyes were like copper bells, and it kept spitting out blood and shaking its tail.
“…”
Chen Qi was a little surprised.
The appearance of the deep-sea monster in front of him reminded him of a kind of fierce canine animal in Siberia on Earth.
Why does this thing look like a husky?
Looking closely, those spherical blue eyes, far from being fierce, were instead tinged with a bit of blue wisdom and a bit of cross-eyed.
So stupid.
"Are you asking me for food?"
Chen Qi shrank back. The other party did not have any hostility, but was too big.
He couldn't bear this kind of physical difference.
If the other party acts coquettishly towards him, not to mention him, even this fragile steamboat will fall apart.
This is horrible, I have to get rid of it quickly.
Chen Qi gently moved the fishing rod, and at this moment, the bait on the hook had been bitten off.
"Hahaha--"
As the fishhook moved, the Black Ship Sea Dragon breathed out and shook its steel tail more violently.
Just for a bait...
Outrageous! He doesn't look like a coastal overlord at all!
Chen Qi condemned, rethinking his 'superb fishing' skills.
This extraordinary fishing skill seemed to be more useful than he had imagined.
You know, many deep-sea supernatural creatures are very picky eaters. Large carnivorous monsters like the Black Ship Sea Dragon are generally rarely interested in a simple spiritual power ball.
This bait, which is made of supernatural power, has little nutritional value, but its biggest feature is that it tastes good!
"Hahaha--"
The Black Ship Sea Dragon narrowed his eyes and followed the movement of the fishing rod.
Got it, got it... Chen Qi reluctantly gathered his spiritual power again and condensed an extraordinary bait on the fishhook.
At the moment of concentration, the Black Ship Sea Dragon suddenly opened its mouth, bit off the bait, and then jumped twice in the water!
Bang!
Bang!
You can see it's very happy!
Chen Qi, who was splashed with water and soaked like a drowned rat, felt very complicated.
This is obviously not a pet he can control!
"Okay, okay, now that you're full, let's go play somewhere else..."
Chen Qi shook his hands, wondering if the other party could understand his language.
Now, he has to fight the storm with his wits and courage, and he really can't spare the energy to play with the offshore overlord.
The storm was still battering his poor little boat.
The Black Ship Sea Dragon shook its head, as if it understood something, and went into the water with a whoosh.
Chen Qi also bent down, slowed down the steam boat, and moved forward carefully in the storm.
The storm is coming, and the road ahead is long...
thump!
Before Chen Qi could sigh, a huge head with a light on emerged from the water and breathed at him.
"Aren't you leaving yet? I'm not afraid of you, but my little boat is..."
Chen Qi turned his head helplessly and looked at this silly and stupid offshore overlord.
Although he has an affinity for the deep sea, his current strength does not allow him to directly drive away deep-sea monsters.
The moment he attacks, deep-sea monsters may also attack him.
Moreover, even if he tried his best to drive it away, this offshore overlord would probably think that Chen Qi was giving him a massage.
Fortunately, the little sea dragon was smart enough not to hit its ship.
Suddenly, Chen Qi's eyes lit up.
Its purpose doesn't seem to be to be eaten.
Give him something!
The Black Ship Sea Dragon opened its bloody mouth with three rows of fangs.
On its scarlet tongue, there was a shiny object.
"?"
Chen Qi carefully used the fishing rod to hook the fish out of its mouth.
It’s the size of a palm and is a small golden fish?
Chen Qi held the dead little food in his hand.
He had seen this thing before, on the last few pages of the "Guide to the Use of Marine Animal Medicinal Materials" given to him by the ship's doctor Little Crow.
The last five pages are all about extremely rare sea beasts. As a deep-sea lover, the dream of Little Crow is to raise a rare sea beast!
Of course, she didn't have any.
"Golden scale fish..."
At this moment, Chen Qi's eyes were suddenly blinded by the golden light.
The golden scale fish lives in deeper water and has a good speed.
Therefore, it is difficult for ordinary fishing boats to catch this kind of fish. It often requires powerful extraordinary people to go deep into the seabed to catch it.
Chen Qi took out the soaked book and carefully turned to the last few pages.
As I read, illusory prompts appear before my eyes.
In the new day game setting, the prompts on the panel depend on many factors, the most important of which is the knowledge you already know.
His player panel is not omniscient and partially complies with this setting.
【Golden scale fish:
Appearance: Shell, Cup
Function: This extraordinary fish symbolizes wealth and health. After cooking and eating it, you can permanently increase your physical fitness and gain a small amount of self-healing speed.
Description: Lucky! 】
"Well done, offshore overlord!"
Chen Qi looked at the dead golden-scaled fish and introduced it.
Shells symbolize money, contracts, wealth, transactions and many other elements.
The golden scale fish is similar to the koi on Earth. People believe that as long as they see a golden scale fish, they will have good luck and wealth in the next week.
Live golden-scaled fish are extremely expensive ornamental species, but the one that the Black Ship Sea Dragon gave him was already dead.
The cup represents the main use of the golden scale fish!
A strong physique is the core threshold for many ways to become stronger.
Moreover, the name only indicates a small amount of self-healing speed, but in actual combat, it can increase the self-healing speed of external injuries, which is considered a very powerful skill.
This is a real tonic...
The yellow needles that increase attributes can at least be purchased, but as for the golden-scaled fish, it depends largely on luck.
According to the guide to harvesting marine animals, this thing is not suitable for eating raw.
The shelf life of golden scale fish is quite long and the temperature is also OK...Chen Qi put it in his backpack.
With the yellow needles, the golden-scaled fish, and the attribute bonus at the beginning, his physique in the early stage will reach a very strong level.
Well done! Black Ship Sea Dragon!
In a sense, this also counts as him catching a golden scale fish.
Chen Xing used his hand to pat its head gently.
"Hahaha--"
As if sensing Chen Qi's mood, the Black Ship Sea Dragon nodded, wagged its tail happily, and circled around his boat a few times.
Then it hummed a few more times, making sounds as if it was about to leave.
Are you leaving... Chen Qi waved his hand:
"goodbye--"
Chen Qi remembered this point, maybe they would encounter it again in the future.
The Black Ship Sea Dragon shook its tail.
call out!
With a whoosh sound, it shot out like a rocket, creating layers of waves on the sea, and disappeared from his sight in an instant.
At this speed, it feels like it can directly crash into a large steel steamship!
The overlord of the coastal area, this speed is really fast...
Chen Qi looked into the distance. Perhaps he was blinded by the golden-scaled fish, he actually thought that this ferocious beast looked quite cute.
Plop! Plop!
As the Black Ship Sea Dragon sailed away, the waves hit his boat again.
His clothes had been completely soaked by the sea water. Although they were made of cotton, they felt like a thick and cold armor.
The coldness continued to worsen, and a feeling of weakness arose spontaneously, and the effect of the yellow needles continued to weaken.
The storm is not easy to endure...
"If you want to make it to shore, you have to be patient for a while..."
Chen Qi leaned over, found the right moment, and drank the food and fresh water in his backpack.
It is still quite a long distance from the land.
Next, it’s time for a tormenting meal.
