Chapter 18 Offshore Overlord!
The deep sea monster swayed its body, raised its head, and its sharp black scales danced with the rushing waves. Its huge body was like a moving mountain.
The deep-sea hunter's treasure did not deceive him. "Fishing in the storm" is a life skill that allows you to catch fish even in a storm.
But is this really a fish?
Chen Qi stood on the boat, looked up at this behemoth that was at least twenty meters long, and touched his chin.
Fortunately, he thought he encountered something strange.
If you look closely, you will see that it is just a sea dragon that can destroy fleets and make people fearful.
He knows this kind of monster. It is a species that likes to dash wildly on the sea. It is also one of the few monsters that frequently appears in offshore areas.
Its name is the Black Ship Sea Dragon, and it is a well-known deep-sea species in offshore areas.
Judging from the size, this should be a juvenile.
If you don't take into account the special circumstances of Chenqi itself, this can be the most terrifying of the many legends about "Lights and Black Ships".
Because of its location in offshore waters, it has caused many serious marine accidents.
Therefore, it also has a more domineering and well-known title——
Offshore Overlord!
Many people at sea tremble just by hearing this name!
It can be said that even the ships under the four pirate emperors have to be in awe when they see the offshore overlord.
However, despite his affinity with the deep sea, the huge difference in body size still made Chen Qi slightly scared.
"ha!"
The Black Ship Sea Dragon opened its bloody mouth, shook its black-scaled tail, and roared at Chen Qi!
What a loud tone!
Chen Qi blocked it with his hand and looked at the huge sea dragon again.
"Hahaha--"
The blue eyes of the Black Ship Sea Dragon are like copper bells, and they are constantly vomiting blood and wagging their tails.
"..."
Chen Qi was a little surprised.
The appearance of the deep-sea monster in front of him reminded him of a sturdy canine species in Siberia on Earth.
Why does this thing look like a husky?
If you look closely, you can see that those round blue eyes are not vicious, but have a bit of blue wisdom and a bit of cross-eyes.
What a fool.
"Are you asking me for food?"
Chen Qi shrank back. The opponent didn't have any hostility, but his size was too big.
He couldn't bear this poor physical appearance.
If the other party acts coquettishly towards him, let alone him, even this fragile steam boat will fall apart.
It's so scary, I need to get rid of it quickly.
Chen Qi moved the fishing rod slightly. At this moment, the bait on the hook had been bitten off.
"Hahaha--"
As the fishhook moved, the Black Ship Sea Dragon gasped and its steel tail swayed more violently.
Just for a piece of fishing bait...
outrageous! It doesn’t look like an offshore overlord at all!
Chen Qi condemned, rethinking his 'extraordinary fishing' skills.
This extraordinary fishing skill seems to be better than he imagined.
You must know that many extraordinary creatures in the deep sea are very picky eaters. Under normal circumstances, large carnivorous monsters such as the Black Ship Sea Dragon will rarely be interested in a simple spiritual ball.
And this bait made of extraordinary power has no nutrition. Its biggest feature is that it is delicious!
“Hahaha——”
Black Ship Sea Dragon narrowed his eyes and followed the movement of the fishing rod.
Got it, got it... Chen Qi had no choice but to gather 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 the bait, and then jumped twice in the water!
Bang!
Bang!
It can be seen that it is very happy!
Chen Qi, who was splashed with water and turned into a drowned rat, felt very complicated.
Obviously, this is not a pet he can control!
"Okay, okay, when you're full, let's go somewhere else to play..."
Chen Qi waved his hand, wondering if the other party could understand his language.
Now, he still has to battle wits with the storm, and he really can't spare the energy to play with the offshore overlord.
The storm was still pounding his poor little boat.
The black ship sea dragon shook its head, as if it understood something, and with a hiss, it went down into the water.
Chen Qi also leaned down, slowed down the steam boat, and moved forward cautiously in the storm.
The storm is coming and the road is long...
thump!
Before Chen Qi could sigh, a huge head with a light on came out of the water again, and then breathed at him.
"You haven't left yet? I'm not afraid of you, but I am afraid of my boat..."
Chen Qi turned his head helplessly and looked at this silly offshore overlord.
Although he has an affinity with the deep sea, his current strength is still not enough to directly drive away deep sea monsters.
The moment his attack occurs, monsters from the deep may also attack him.
Moreover, even if he drives it away with all his strength, I am afraid that this offshore overlord will think that Chen Qi is giving him a massage. Fortunately, this little sea dragon was quite smart and did not hit its ship.
Suddenly, Chen Qi's eyes lit up.
Its purpose seems not to be eaten.
But give him something!
The Black Ship Sea Dragon opened its bloody mouth with three rows of fangs.
On its scarlet tongue, there was something sparkling.
"?"
Chen Qi carefully used the fishing rod to hook it out of its mouth.
It's as big as a palm, is this a small golden fish?
Chen Qi held the dead little food in his hands.
He had seen this thing before, in 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 controller, Little Crow's dream is to raise a rare sea beast!
Of course, she didn’t have one.
"Golden Scale Fish..."
At this moment, Chen Qi's eyes were suddenly blinded by the golden light.
Golden scale fish live in deeper water levels and have good speed.
Therefore, it is difficult for ordinary fishing boats to catch this kind of fish. It often requires powerful extraordinary beings 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 reminders appeared in front of my eyes.
In the New Day game setting, the prompts on the panel depend on many aspects, the most important of which is the knowledge you already know.
His player panel is not omniscient and partially follows this setting.
[Golden scale fish:
Sex: Shell, Cup
Function: An extraordinary fish that symbolizes wealth and health. After cooking and taking 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.
Shell symbolizes money, contracts, wealth, transactions and other elements.
Golden-scaled fish are similar to koi fish on Earth. People believe that as long as they see a golden-scaled fish, they will have good luck and wealth in the next week.
Live gold-scaled fish are extremely expensive ornamental species, but the one Black Ship Sea Dragon gave him was already dead.
The cup represents the most important use of golden scale fish!
A strong physique is the core threshold for many ways to become stronger.
Moreover, the small amount of self-healing speed is in the name, but in terms of actual combat, it can increase the self-healing speed of trauma, which is a very powerful skill.
This is a real tonic...
You can buy yellow needles that increase attributes, but gold-scaled fish depend largely on luck.
According to the instructions for handling sea beasts, this stuff is not suitable for eating raw.
The shelf life of golden scale fish is quite long, and the temperature is not bad... Chen Qi put it in his backpack.
With the yellow needle, the golden scale fish, and the attribute bonus at the beginning, his early physique will reach a very strong level.
Well done! Black ship sea dragon!
In a sense, this can be regarded as him catching a gold-scaled fish.
Chen Qi reached out and patted its head gently.
"Hahaha--"
As if sensing Chen Qi's mood, Black Ship Hailong nodded, wagging his tail happily, and circled his ship a few times.
Then, it snorted a few more times and made a sound to leave.
Are you leaving... Chen Qi waved his hand:
"Goodbye——"
Chen Qi remembered this point, maybe they would meet again in the future.
The black ship sea dragon shook its tail.
call out!
With the sound of piercing the air, it shot out like a rocket, setting off layers of waves on the sea, and disappeared from his sight in an instant.
At this speed, it feels like it can directly smash through a large steel steamship!
Offshore Overlord, this speed is so fast...
Chen Qi looked into the distance, perhaps blinded by the golden-scaled fish, but he actually thought this ferocious beast was quite cute.
thump! thump!
As the Black Ship Sea Dragon went away, the waves hit his boat again.
The clothes on his body were completely soaked by the sea water. They were obviously cotton clothes, but they seemed to be wearing a thick layer of cold armor.
The cold continued to worsen, a sense of weakness also emerged spontaneously, and the effect of the yellow needles also 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 away from the land.
Next, it’s time for a torturous meal.
