Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 45 Big Fish Attack
On the deck of the Dead Heart,
Su Wang kept waving his fishing rod to help the fishman guards kill the attacking strange fish, and at the same time, he sprinkled some contaminated fish meat as bait every two or three minutes.

Looking at the increasing number of strange fish corpses on the deck, Su Wang became more and more delighted.

"The fish isn't of high quality, but this large quantity is enough to satisfy your hunger."

In less than twenty minutes,
The deck had been cleared, and now it was once again filled with a large number of strange fish.

If the rest of the night continues like this,
The grade of the fish may not be satisfactory, but the quantity of fish and the resources such as wood, steel plates and fish coins obtained from the fish belly can definitely reach a gratifying level.

at this time,

Su Wang was bending over to pick up the contaminated fish meat beside him to replenish the nest, but a piece of information about a strange fish suddenly flashed before his eyes, which made him stunned.

【Balalahi (mildly polluted)】

Fish species rarity: Silver level.

Strength:128(102).

Stamina: 2175/2240 (1990).

Silver-level fish contaminated by evil forces have varying degrees of increased strength and endurance, and rarely appear in shallow waters.

...

"Silver-level strange fish!" Su Wang was suddenly surprised.

He was originally confused as to why he hadn't attracted a silver-level monster fish, but now it suddenly appeared in the open.

The catch from the silver-level monster fish is more valuable, so the arrival of this monster fish is a little surprise to him.

"It turns out it's still possible to attract a silver-level monster fish."

Su Wang thought that this silver-level monster fish was just attracted by accident.

There are 100 silver-level murloc guards underwater on the Death Heart, which is enough to deal with a silver-level monster fish.

Su Wang was only slightly surprised by the appearance of this silver-level monster fish, but he did not feel too nervous.

But less than ten seconds later, information about a silver-level monster fish appeared in his sight again.

The appearance of this silver-level monster fish finally made Su Wang feel that something was wrong.

"Two in a row... just a coincidence?"

This thought just came up not long ago.
A few seconds later, the appearance of information about another silver-level monster fish completely overturned Su Wang's guess.

One or two tails may be a coincidence, but the probability of getting three tails in a short period of time is very small.

Not only that,

The immediate appearance of information about the fourth silver-level monster fish completely eliminated the possibility of coincidence.

"No... a group of silver-level monster fish have been attracted underwater!"

If there were only four silver-level monster fish, Su Wang wouldn't need to worry too much, but he was afraid that there might be more than four.

However, the subsequent appearance of information about silver-level monster fish completely confirmed his concerns.

In just one or two minutes, the underwater fishman guards encountered more than a dozen silver-level monster fish.

The murloc guards can easily deal with strange fish below the silver level.

However, the properties of the silver-level monster fish have been enhanced by pollution and are slightly higher than those of Su Wang's silver-level fishman guards.

In addition, there were other strange fish attracted by the bait, and the pressure on the fishman guards increased a lot.

Seeing this, Su Wang immediately stopped throwing the fish and continued to make a nest.

Most of these silver-level fish are in deeper underwater areas.
With his naked eyes, Su Wang couldn't see clearly the situation deep underwater and couldn't provide assistance to the fishman guards.

For now, the murloc guards can only deal with these silver-level monster fish on their own.

Fortunately, so far, there have been less than 20 silver-level monster fish that have appeared, which is still within the range that can be dealt with.

"How come so many silver-level monster fish are suddenly attracted here?"

Su Wang was confused and wanted to find out why the silver-level monster fish was attracted here.
Otherwise, if the number of silver-level monster fish continues to increase, the original balance of being able to safely harvest the monster fish may be broken.

Just as Su Wang was thinking, new silver-level monster fish continued to attack the underwater fishman guards.

This situation also made him feel increasingly uneasy.

Recalling the last wave of catching strange fish, throwing bait to make nests did not attract silver-level strange fish.

But this time, a large number of silver-level strange fish were attracted in less than half an hour, which shows that the problem lies in the method of luring the strange fish this time.

The only difference between the two nesting is the continuity.

Su Wang thought that this time the way to lure fish was to continuously throw bait to fill the nest.

"Is it because too much bait was cast?"

At this time, Su Wang noticed that the information introduction of the silver-level strange fish indicated that it rarely appeared in shallow waters.

A flash of light suddenly flashed through his mind.

"It's the bait sinking into the water!"

Su Wang realized that these silver-level strange fish might come from deeper waters underwater.

Due to the continuous throwing of bait to attract fish, some baits gradually sink to deeper waters.

As a result, the silver-level strange fish that originally did not live in the surface waters were attracted up.

After figuring this out, Su Wang couldn't help but think about it on a deeper level.

If the appearance of the silver-level monster fish is due to the problem of bait sinking, then is it possible that the bait has sunk to deeper waters over time?

Just when Su Wang figured out the reason, the underwater silver-level monster fish and the fishman guard had both suffered damage.

Some murloc guards floated on the water to hand in their silver-level monster fish catches, and information about the disappearance of silver-level murloc guards also flashed in his sight.

Su Wang thought that the strange fish would float to the surface of the water for a while after being killed, so he was not worried that the trophy would remain underwater.

He hurriedly ordered the fishman guards to give up floating on the water to hand in the fish, and instead focused on concentrating manpower to quickly kill the strange fish.

The most important thing at the moment is to quickly reduce the number of strange fish existing underwater!

The reason is that Su Wang suspected that the previous continuous throwing of bait may have attracted strange fish in deeper waters.

Since shallow waters can only attract strange fish below the silver level, deeper waters attract silver-level strange fish.

Su Wang speculated that as the bait continued to sink, perhaps even a gold-level monster fish might appear.

Although it was just a guess, Su Wang had to be on guard.

Just when half of the existing strange fish had been cleared, the thing he worried about happened.

Information about a golden-level monster fish suddenly appeared in sight.

Three-tailed stingray (mildly polluted)

Fish species rarity: Gold level.

Strength:248(210).

Stamina: 5706/5840 (4990).

Features: Highly Toxic Tail Sting - The tail sting contains a corrosive toxin that will continuously consume the target's stamina after stinging it. Since the sting itself carries contamination, there is a certain probability that the target will be infected by the contamination.

The gold-level fish contaminated by evil forces have their strength and endurance increased to varying degrees, and possess the special abilities only possessed by gold-level fish.

...

"Fuck! I didn't dodge it after all."

The moment the message appeared, Su Wang couldn't help but swear.

The strength attribute of this golden-level monster fish, which is as high as 248 points and the endurance value of nearly 6, are enough to suffocate people.

That’s not all, the gold-level monster fish actually has a special ability.

When Su Wang saw the information about this gold-level monster fish, he knew that he was in trouble.

as predicted.

Not long after the strange fish information was prompted,

The casualty rate of the Murloc Guards immediately began to soar, and in less than half a minute, several Bronze and Iron-level Murloc Guards died one after another.

Through perception, Su Wang discovered that the endurance of several silver-level murlocs was dropping at an extremely fast rate.

Just when Su Wang felt sorry for the fish coins, two new pieces of bad news came into his sight one after another.

【Light Shadow Shark (Lightly Polluted)】

Fish species rarity: Gold level.

Strength:239(198).

Stamina: 5920/6040 (5120).

Features: Light and Shadow - Fish scales can emit strong light, which has a strong hallucinogenic effect. The fish scales can absorb nutrients from the nearby water to restore a certain amount of endurance.

The gold-level fish contaminated by evil forces have their strength and endurance increased to varying degrees, and possess the special abilities only possessed by gold-level fish.

...

[The Silver-level Murloc Guardian, a Fish Soul derivative, has been contaminated by the Triple-Tailed Stingray and has triggered its self-destruction effect.]

...

If he just felt a little chest tightness, now Su Wang felt like vomiting blood.

He didn't expect that the fishman guard would instantly self-destruct and die after being contaminated.

Although this situation has only occurred to one Murloc Guardian at the moment, it does not mean it will not happen a second time.

If this golden-level three-tailed stingray monster fish is not killed quickly, the fishman guards are likely to be contaminated again.

The only good news is that the other golden monster fish does not have the ability to contaminate the fishman guards.

However, judging from its characteristics and capabilities, it is still difficult to solve.

The strange fish have gathered in the waters around the Wangxin. Now even if you drive the boat away from the original place, you will be chased by the strange fish.

Su Wang could only hope in his heart that no more gold-level strange fish would appear.

There are only two ways to deal with the current situation.

One is to fight a war of attrition by constantly replenishing the murloc guards to kill all the strange fish underwater.

Su Wang only thought about it and gave up this solution.

Although he couldn't see the fighting under the water,
However, we can make certain judgments based on the changes in the information of the monster fish and the damage to the fishman guards.

The reason is that the golden-level monster fish is too lethal to the fishman guards.

The special abilities of the gold-level monster fish, coupled with too many attributes, would probably make it impossible for the iron-level and bronze-level murloc guards to withstand a few attacks.

Even the silver-level murloc guards couldn't hold on for long.

However, the stamina of the two gold-level monster fish is currently depleting very slowly, and the other taillight shadow shark will even recover its stamina from time to time.

It costs 100 fish coins to hatch a silver-level murloc guard, and Su Wang currently does not have the conditions to fight such a war of attrition.

Even if he had enough fish coins, the amount of fish coins required to do this would be unacceptable to him.

There is only one other solution.

Have the Murloc Guards clear out the remaining monster fish of other levels as quickly as possible.

When the number of strange fish is reduced to a level that the Heart of Death can bear,
He collected most of the fishman guards and lured two golden-level monster fish to the surface and let him deal with them himself!

Although during the eradication of other strange fish,

The Murloc Guards will still suffer considerable losses, but compared to the first method, the losses are minimized.
