Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 54 Blackened Waters

“Failed to hook…”

The bait was used up, so Su Wang immediately took out another piece of gold-level lamp shadow fish meat from the fish tank and hung it on the fish hook, but this time it was unwashed.

The disappearance of the bait just now indicates that the underwater target has been attracted.

Su Wang believed that this gold-grade bait should also attract the attention of the underwater target.

"The fact that it swallowed the bait silently without triggering a hook notification means the underwater target's Strength attribute is definitely over 200 points. This is a fish that we're not going to mess with."

Throw the bait into the water again.

as predicted,

The underwater area where the fishhook sank was once again stained with a mass of dark ink in less than ten seconds.

However, Su Wang still did not receive any notification that he had caught a fish, so he didn't even feel the slightest vibration on the fishing rod.

Seeing such an unusual situation,
Su Wang counted to ten in his mind and immediately pulled back the fishing hook.

[Bait consumed 5.8%, failed to hook the target.]

"No...why are there no other prompts..."

Su Wang frowned even more tightly this time.

Originally, he thought that the bait disappeared silently because the underwater creatures were too powerful and could not trigger the hit effect when swallowing the bait.

But this time I took the initiative to lift the hook,
The purpose is to do the same as when dealing with the silver-tailed windfish, by actively lifting the hook to cause certain damage to the target when it is eating, so as to obtain target information.

But now this method has failed.

Su Wang didn't believe it and cast the hook again, ready to try again.

Ten seconds later,

The area where the fishhook fell into the water was once again stained with a mass of inky water.

Su Wang waited longer this time, counting silently for 30 seconds before suddenly lifting the hook.

[Bait consumed 16.7%, failed to hook the target.]

"Damn! Are you kidding me?" Su Wang cursed in his heart.

One fifth of a new bait has been used up, and I still don’t know what’s happening underwater.

Logically, when underwater creatures swallow the bait, they will definitely swallow the hook as well.

Pulling the hook early should result in a short-lived hit effect.

But I tried it twice in a row and didn't get any hit prompt.

"Is it possible to eat bait from a distance?"

Su Wang then continued to try to hook a few more times.

The amount of remaining bait is getting less and less each time, but apart from the bait being constantly consumed, there is no idea what is happening underwater.

When almost half of the bait had been eaten, Su Wang became angry and immediately called out to the merman guards to go into the water.

He wanted to see what was under the water.

Even if this scares off the underwater target, it is better than wasting bait without knowing it.

After the fish-man guards entered the water, they quickly swam towards the area that was originally stained with ink in a surrounding manner.

Just when the fishman guards approached a certain distance,

It was as if a bomb filled with ink exploded underwater, and in an instant a large amount of sea water was dyed black.

The blackened sea water even encompassed more than a dozen merman guards.

By checking the information of the Murloc Guard,
Su Wang noticed that the endurance of these fishman guards was rapidly decreasing.

Su Wang realized that something was wrong and hurriedly ordered the fishman guards to evacuate the blackened waters.

"Poison? Or something else?"

At this time, the creatures hidden in the black waters did not seem to intend to let the fishman guards evacuate.

The range of the black water continued to expand, as if it was going to sweep back in the fishman guards who had just escaped.

Seeing this, Su Wang immediately summoned the ship's cannon and bombarded the area with the most intense blackening.

Boom boom~
With a roar, two giant thunder bombs shot into the water in an instant.

in an instant,
The explosive pulses released by the explosive bombs spread underwater instantly, just like turning on two light bulbs in an inky black environment.

[A giant thunder bomb hit the Corrupted Ink Octopus, causing 390 points of stamina damage.]

[The thunder pulse hits the Corrupted Ink Octopus, causing 250 points of stamina damage.]

【Ink Octopus】

Fish species rarity: Silver-level special rare fish.

Strength: 235.

Endurance: 23940/24580.

Rare abilities: proliferation and regeneration, corrupt ink.

Rare fish rarely seen in the azure waters contain special and precious gifts from the world.

……

Under Su Wang's blind bombardment, one of the explosive bombs actually happened to hit the underwater creature.

While his endurance was being damaged, information about underwater creatures also appeared in Su Wang's sight.

"Special rare fish, the Ink Octopus!"

Su Wang's eyes instantly became serious, and he called out to Mi Lei who was standing beside him.

"Milei, hurry to the maintenance room and prepare to repair the hull!"

Mirei nodded immediately and trotted towards the stairs leading to the cabin.

The reason why Su Wang said this to drive Mi Lei away,
Because under the attack of the thunder bomb, the injured corrupted ink octopus seemed to be suddenly enraged.

The thick underwater ink ball no longer chased the fishman guards, but instead rushed towards the bottom of the Deathheart!
The Lost Heart is in danger of being attacked.
Su Wang did not care about the problem that the fishman guards would be corroded by the ink, and quickly drove some of the fishman guards to block the front of the Heart of Destruction. Because the fishing hook was very close to the hull of the Heart of Destruction,
In just a few seconds, the dark ink ball underwater had approached the location of the Wangxin's hull.

The thick black ink domain swallowed up all the fishman guards guarding the Death Heart.

In an instant, the endurance of all the fishman guards swept by the black ink domain began to drop sharply.

Even when the Heart of Death touched the black water, its durability continued to decline.

Seeing this, Su Wang immediately activated the wind shield ability.

Due to the interference of the black water on his vision, Su Wang was completely unable to see what was happening underwater.

I can only survive the sudden drop in endurance of many murloc guards.
It was judged that the corrupted ink octopus hidden in the black water area should have had a confrontation with the fishman guards.

At this time,

Several black tentacles as thick as waists, wrapped around fish-man guards, emerged from the dark waters.

Next second,
The tentacles were like catapults, smashing the entangled fishman guards hard against the hull of the Heart of Death.

Bang ~ bang bang ~
There were continuous crashing sounds.

Not only did the shield value of the Heart of Destruction, which was hit by the bomb, plummet, but even the murloc guards, who were treated as "stones", saw their endurance values ​​plummet.

The tentacles that emerged from the water undoubtedly came from the underwater rotten ink octopus.

It also shows that this black ink octopus has reached the surface of the water, so these octopus tentacles can emerge from the water.

Su Wang naturally would not let go of such an opportunity.

Based on the positions of the tentacles, we can roughly determine the position of the main body of the rotten ink octopus underwater.

As the fishing rod was swung, a silver hook suddenly shot into the black water.

The next second, a hit information suddenly appeared.

[Consume 5 points of stamina, successfully hit the Corrupted Ink Octopus, and reduce the target's stamina by 200*2 points.]

In less than 2 seconds, the octopus tentacles that had originally protruded from the water retracted under the water.

[The target has escaped the hook, and the fisherman's innate skill is interrupted.]

At this time, Su Wang also received the information that the fishhook was unhooked.

Although the hit state only lasted less than 2 seconds, Su Wang's current damage had reached an extremely terrifying level.

Before escaping the hook, he had already caused nearly 4 stamina loss to the Corrupted Ink Octopus.

I'm afraid it's such a high amount of damage,

The originally angry corrupted ink octopus regained some rationality, sank into the dark waters and did not launch another attack.

Su Wang stared at the water for nearly 10 seconds.
Apart from the black ink that had not yet dispersed, there was no movement underwater.

"Escape?"

A few seconds passed, and Su Wang's brows suddenly frowned.

"Damn it!"

The ability to dye the originally clear sea water into dark black is undoubtedly the corrupt ink ability of this corrupt ink octopus.

However, as long as they are within the range of Corrupted Ink, both the Murloc Guards and the Heart of Destruction will continue to suffer damage.

After these few tens of seconds, the fishman guards have begun to disappear.

In order to avoid unnecessary losses, Su Wang immediately drove the fishman guards back to the Wangxin.

Wait until all the fishmen guards return to the ship.

Su Wang then immediately started driving the Wangxin, wanting to leave this area of ​​water filled with corrupt ink first.

However, just as the Heart of Death was about to leave the range of the dark waters,
Several octopus tentacles suddenly emerged from the water and quickly slapped the hull of the Wangxin.

When Su Wang noticed this, he immediately swung his fishing rod to prepare for a counterattack.

But before he could determine the location of the underwater rotten ink octopus, the octopus tentacles that attacked the Death Heart had already retracted beneath the water surface.

Su Wang tried to cast the hook to attack the roughly determined location, but he did not receive any information that the hook hit the target.

After retracting the fishing hook, Su Wang stared at the water surface with high vigilance for several seconds.

But the rotten ink octopus underwater seemed to have learned its lesson after suffering a loss.
It was just a sudden attack, and now it has fallen into silence again.

Su Wang noticed another phenomenon at this time.
The underwater area infected by corrupt ink followed the bottom of the Dead Heart.

This shows that

The rotten ink octopus remained underwater and moved with the Heart of Death instead of escaping.

And because the seawater contaminated by the corrupt ink is harmful,
The Wangxin, which had been in contact with sea water, was about to have its gale shield broken.

At that time, these dark seawater will directly cause damage to the durability of the Wangxin.

"Are you planning to grind me to death?"

Su Wang immediately understood the plan of this rotten ink octopus, and at the same time couldn't help but admire the intelligence of this rotten ink octopus.

I encountered so many fish these days.

The strange fish will blindly attack the Heart-Destroying Ship, while ordinary fish will just swallow the bait and be caught in vain.

Rare fish will also attack the Heartless due to being provoked.
But whether it is the silver-tailed wind fish or the double-horned ray eel, none of them can play tricks like this rotten ink octopus.

He always dealt with fish by wasting time, but he never expected that the situation would be reversed.

The water below is pitch black.
If the corrupt ink octopus does not expose itself, it will be difficult for Su Wang to determine its location. Even if he uses the fishman guards, he will lose stamina in vain due to the corrupt ink in the water.

For a moment, Su Wang really had no idea what to do with this situation.

Unless the speed of the Heart of Death is increased, the speed can be used to shake off the rotten ink octopus.

But doing so will also mean losing the chance to catch this rare fish.
