Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 30: Red Tide Appears
In the next ten minutes,

In front of Su Wang, Mi Lei became familiar with the operation of taking and putting items at the pick-up counter.

But what surprised Su Wang was that
After learning that the food counter can keep food from spoiling for a long time, Mi Lei actually took the initiative to ask him for a towel.

Su Wang watched as Mi Lei carefully took out the red eggplant that she had previously kept from under her cloak, wrapped it in a towel, and placed it in the counter.

Su Wang bought a lot of red eggplants at the dock, and they were also displayed on the counter.

As for these daily necessities, Su Wang had just told Mi Lei that she could take them and eat them at any time.

When Su Wang asked Mi Lei why she kept this ordinary red eggplant,

Faced with this very common question, Mirei rarely gave an answer.

Seeing this, Su Wang didn't ask any more questions, but he had some guesses in his mind.

I made up my mind to wait until we got to know each other better before asking Mirei what happened.

Thinking of Mi Lei's somewhat awkward way of addressing him before, Su Wang spoke in a gentle voice.

"From now on, just call me Captain Brother."

Mirei nodded obediently.

"Okay...Captain brother."

...

After informing everyone of the instructions, Su Wang returned to the deck from the cabin.

Mirei volunteered to stay in the cabin, saying that she was ready to deal with work at any time.

Su Wang came to the bow area on the deck and drove the Wangxin out of the docking canal.

At this time, it was almost nightfall, and the light source hanging high in the sky was almost dark.

By the dim light,
Su Wang could see that the ships that were originally docked in the various inlets at the dock had disappeared.

Instead, a large number of ships were towing the sea around the pier.

A quick glance,
There are as many as three or four hundred ships that can be seen nearby, forming teams and heading towards the vast waters outside the dock.

When looking towards the port, you can see groups of murloc guards gathered there.

The density of the gathering is so high that it can even give goose bumps to people with trypophobia.

This,

This is only one side of the dock. I believe the other three areas will not be much different.

Seeing such a scene, Su Wang couldn't help but be shocked.

"What kind of red tide could it be that would cause Golden Crocodile Pier to deploy such a force?"

Su Wang immediately took out the ship certificate to check,

It was discovered that there were only more than 40 minutes left before the red tide broke out.

"I also have to find a suitable area to wait for the red tide to appear."

In the process of searching for a location,

Su Wang was also silently observing the situation on other passing ships.

The boats sailing in the waters around the pier,
The ships are not uniform in size, so they cannot be categorized based on size.

But there are only two categories based on the ship drivers.

One is that there are only a few figures standing on the deck of the ship. Su Wang speculated that these were the people called ship masters by the local humans.

Based on the information gathered from the tavern waiter that night.

The shipmaster seems to be a special being who can control the entire ship alone, and can have a certain special relationship with the ship, blessing the hull by using his abilities.

It sounds very similar to the Fisherman's ability, but there are actually many differences.

The captain cannot upgrade the ships he controls, but can only control the existing ships.

Moreover, the boatman does not have the fishing gear of the fisherman's awakening, but instead possesses a power similar to that of various fish creatures.

By bestowing this power on the steered ship, the ship is given special abilities.

For example, the burly man with crab hands he met yesterday should be a shipmaster.

The other type is a normal ship with a lot of people gathered on the deck, and operated by multiple ordinary natives at the dock.

Out of caution,

Su Wang did not choose to join the fleet formed by these local ships, but chose to act alone.

Firstly, they are not very familiar with these local fleets, and secondly, they can act more freely if they act alone.

Just as the Heart of Death was sailing towards the waters outside the dock,

Su Wang suddenly received a prompt message.

[The ship certificate received information released by Golden Crocodile Wharf.]

Su Wang immediately took out the ship certificate to check,

It was discovered that it was a notice issued by the Golden Crocodile Pier.
The information is that Golden Crocodile Wharf is undergoing expansion.

Vessels in the waters near the dock are required to avoid the approaching red tide.

...

"Should we start?"

After reading the information on the ship certificate, Su Wang turned around and looked towards the dock.

Suddenly, huge waves surged up at the edge of the pier, which seemed to be caused by the expansion of the pier's volume, resulting in impact waves.

It wasn't long before the waves hit the waters where the Wangxin was located, causing the Wangxin to shake much more violently.

It only took a dozen seconds for the waves to rise from the pier.

Su Wang could clearly feel from his sight that the distance between the dock and the Wangxin had shortened a lot.

"Golden Crocodile Pier can actually expand on its own?"

Witnessing this bizarre scene that went against common sense, Su Wang could only sigh a few words.

Immediately, he drove the Heartless Heart further away. I don't know if it was because of the fisherman's inherent vehicle,

Under the impact of the strong pushing waves, the speed of the Wangxin did not change due to the influence of the waves.

The other ships near the dock seemed to be assisted by the force of the waves, and were moving away from the dock even faster than the Death Heart.

Seeing this scene, Su Wang couldn't help but smile bitterly.

You can only choose to activate the wind-riding ability once to speed away from the expanding dock.

Fortunately, the Heart of Destruction is already a third-level vehicle.

In addition, with the speed boosted by Mirei and the ability to sail with the wind, it was not overtaken by the speed of the dock expansion.

The process of dock expansion continued for some time.
It gradually stopped until the red tide outbreak time when the ship's certificate was about to appear began.

As the shockwaves subsided,
The ships in the surrounding waters quickly gathered into rows and formations, as if prepared for some kind of crisis.

Even the fishman guards at the port jumped into the water and surrounded the entire dock.

All these phenomena seem to indicate that a red tide is about to appear.

Su Wang couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Immediately call the maintenance room and tell Mirei to be ready.

Shortly after receiving Mirei's response, night fell.

After a very brief period of darkness, everything around was suddenly covered in a layer of red.

A prompt immediately appeared on the ship certificate in Su Wang's hand.

Golden Crocodile Wharf Notice: This red tide is expected to reach Level 4 intensity. Restoring the wharf to Level 1 sea cleansing capacity will take 60 minutes.

"The red tide intensity is expected to be level 4? What does the dock's level 1 sea purification capacity mean?" Su Wang suddenly became a little nervous.

Su Wang only asked the tavern waiter what the red tide was, but he didn't know how strong the red tide was.

But the red tide has already broken out, so Su Wang has no choice but to take it one step at a time.

Golden Crocodile Pier is just a place to rest temporarily.

He participated in resisting the red tide only in exchange for a few necessary props, but he did not have the determination to go through fire and water for it.

Su Wang could only hope that the Golden Crocodile Wharf would have enough strength to deal with this red tide.

Don't let the red tide destroy the Blue Shark Pier like those two drunks said last night.

Immediately, Su Wang began to observe the situation in the waters near the Wangxin.

The waters within several hundred meters around the Wangxin were calm, and there seemed to be no abnormalities.

However, looking further away from the waters near the Dead Heart, one's gaze passed beyond the line of ships.

Su Wang's face suddenly showed surprise.

In the distance, a large number of waves were rolling on the sea, and there seemed to be a large number of fish swimming in them.

Due to the dim light and the long distance,

Even with the fisherman's enhanced vision, he could only see a rough outline of the situation.

It was impossible to fully discern the size of the school of fish tumbling in the waves, but the size that could be seen was already considerable.

As the waves appear and gradually approach a certain distance,

The fleet of ships formed by Golden Crocodile Wharf also began to move.

One ship after another quickly adjusted the direction of their hulls.

Next second,
Rows of flames lit up on the hulls of all the ships, and a series of artillery roars suddenly rang out.

Countless shells formed beautiful arcs and shot towards the place where waves were emerging in the distance.

The continuous artillery fire even illuminated the dim night sky a little!

"Fuck!"

Su Wang, who had lived in a peaceful era, had never seen such a scene before. He was so shocked by this spectacular scene that he couldn't help but swear.

The deafening roar and the floor-sweeping bombardment made Su Wang's ears hurt even from a distance.

...

"Captain brother, what the hell is this command?"

Mirei's questioning voice came to my ears.

Su Wangcai came back to his senses from this scene that he had only seen in movies and TV shows.

He quickly explained to Mirei not to worry about it, and told her that the red tide had broken out.

As the first round of artillery fire poured down,

A series of exploding water columns suddenly rose in the distant sea.

Through the enhanced vision blessing,
Su Wang could vaguely see that the scattered water column seemed to be mixed with some fish corpse fragments.

Thinking about the rewards that can be exchanged for merit points in this red tide,
Given the current intensity of the artillery fire, the accumulated merit points are by no means small.

Su Wang couldn't help but feel regretful in his heart. It was a pity that the Wangxin was not equipped with ship cannons at the moment.

Otherwise, you can also participate in this brutal bombardment feast.

at this time,

Su Wang saw a huge object suddenly emerge from the waves in the distance.

With the help of the fire produced by the artillery fire, Su Wang saw clearly that what emerged from the waves was actually a giant oval head!
Along with the head, more than ten huge tentacles that were terrifyingly thick also broke out of the water.

"octopus?"

Based on the appearance of this giant creature, Su Wang immediately thought of some kind of marine creature.

However, this giant tentacle octopus is still somewhat different from the image of octopus in his imagination.

There are dozens of giant eyeballs randomly distributed on the huge spherical head.
At the same time, it has several round gill openings that open and close constantly, like the mouths of lampreys.

Even the huge waving tentacles are covered with rows of gills, which looks weird and disgusting!
