Chapter 4: Long-billed Swordfish
Su Ye, who had just arrived, quickly adapted to life on the "Flying Snake".
Work, eat, practice, be regular and fulfilling.
The work of a sailor is very hard, but every time when he is tired, Su Ye looks at the increased experience points on the panel.
His desire for transcendence and immortality made him persevere.
Soon, a month passed.
early morning.
On the deck, Su Ye was scrubbing away stains and sea water with other crew members.
[Flying Snake] is a wooden sea-going ship and needs daily cleaning and maintenance, otherwise the deck surface will be easily corroded and damp.
This kind of tedious and repetitive work often makes ordinary crew members extremely annoyed.
In contrast, Su Ye was emotionally stable and neither arrogant nor impetuous.
"Who asked it to give experience points?" Su Ye glanced at the panel information.
[Scrubbing the deck, [Seaman] experience value +1]
Seeing this, the corners of Su Ye's lips slightly raised, revealing a hint of joy.
He muttered silently, and the light blue virtual panel appeared.
[Name: Su Ye]
[Realm: Qi Refining Level 2]
[Occupation: Sailor lv.1 (100/100)+]
[Occupational attribute bonus: damage +1, protection +1]
[Kung Fu: You Shui Gong]
" It’s finally full!” Looking at the familiar “+” sign, Su Ye looked excited.
In a month, Su Ye finally filled up the experience points of [Seaman lv.1]!
Slower than he thought.
But there is no way, the opportunity to deal with the demon fish does not come every day.
In this month, the [Flying Snake] only caught one demon fish.
"One of the crew members was sent away because of this..."
Although he did not participate in the monster hunting, Su Ye was still afraid.
Counting the encounter with the original owner, the "Flying Snake" has lost five crew members in four months since it went to sea this time.
The danger of hunting monsters is evident.
From this perspective, the low frequency of dealing with monster fish may not be a bad thing.
"If we have to hunt monsters every day, even doubling the number of crew members won't be enough..." Su Ye cursed.
In addition to dealing with monster fish, sailors can also gain experience points from daily tasks such as scrubbing the deck, but the amount is very low.
According to Su Ye's observation statistics, these daily tasks can only provide him with 1 to 3 experience points every day.
"Although it is low, it is better than stability and safety." Su Ye comforted himself.
As long as the [Flying Snake] does not sink, routine maintenance must be carried out every day, and a stable amount of experience points can be recorded.
Thousands of thoughts, but in fact it only lasts a moment.
Su Ye gathered his thoughts and clicked the "+" sign next to [Seaman lv.1].
Buzz!
The familiar cool breath poured into his body, strengthening his body.
The writing on the virtual panel was blurry for a moment, then became clear again.
[Occupation: Sailor lv.2 (0/300)]
[Occupational attribute bonus: damage +2, protection +2]
"Death and protection have each increased a little."
Su Ye moved his muscles and felt the strength of the panel. I am quite satisfied with my improved physique.
Now he is only on the second level of Qi Refining, a small shrimp at the bottom of the cultivation world, and is engaged in the dangerous and unpredictable work of hunting monsters.
With the blessing of the attribute panel, I feel a sense of security.
After closing the panel, Su Ye looked as usual and continued to scrub the deck seriously.
As he scrubbed the deck, he thought about what to have for lunch today.
However, at this moment.
Jingle Bell!
The crisp ship bell rings!
Su Ye's expression suddenly condensed!
This sound is...
"The demon fish appears!"
"Assemble on the deck!"
The lookout's voice sounded on the deck!
Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man wearing black clothes and a solemn face walked out of the high-rise cabin and quickly came to the side of the ship's railing.
Su Ye recognized his identity.
This person's name is Luo Jing, he is at the sixth level of Qi refining, he is the first mate on the "Flying Snake", and he is the most powerful person next to the captain!
"It's a long-billed swordfish, and its mouth is a good thing!" Luo Jing looked far into the distance, with a ray of light in his eyes.
"Suspended spirit boats, crew prepare!"
Four small canoe-style spirit boats were hung on the edge of the [Flying Snake] with ropes.
Contrary to what ordinary people think, the huge [Flying Snake] is actually more like a supporting role in the process of hunting monsters.
These small spirit boats are the real source of output!
Like a pack of wolves, hunting huge ocean beasts!
A spiritual boat can carry six people.
At this time, Luo Jing quickly reported twenty-four names.
"...Su Ye...Zhao Li..."
Then, Luo Jing was the first to board the spirit boat!
"The hunting has begun, boys, get on board!"
"Brother Su..." Zhao Li had a look of uneasiness on his dark face.
"Don't panic!" Su Ye took a deep breath and patted his shoulder.
In fact, Zhao Li was not the only one who was panicking?
Born in a peaceful era, even if he had the memory of the original owner, Su Ye was still a little afraid of hunting monsters.
But...
"When you get on the monster hunting ship, you will face it sooner or later. You can't always be lucky and not be called out..."
Moreover, in Su Ye's view, being exempted from the call in the first two times was not entirely due to luck, but to luck. Compensation after the original owner narrowly escaped death last time.
But obviously, this compensation cannot last forever...
"Then come on!"
"What's more, I'm not without support!" Su Ye narrowed his eyes and glanced at the virtual panel.
[Professional attribute bonus: damage +2, protection +2]
...
clatter.
Soon, everyone boarded the ship, and the four small spirit boats were lowered to the sea by ropes.
Everyone rowed the oars and headed towards the figure of the monster fish not far away!
The long-mouthed swordfish, which is more than ten meters long, is purple in color, and its sharp swordfish mouth is like a spear, shining with a fascinating cold light!
When he saw the spirit boat approaching, instead of running away, he raised his fish's mouth, showing his murderous intent!
"What a beast!" Luo Jing sneered and threw the spear in his hand!
laugh!
Blood splashed!
When the long-billed swordfish feels pain, it immediately prepares to dive to temporarily avoid the sharp edge. This is the instinct of fish.
But the monster hunting ship has made this a career, so it has been prepared for it!
"Open the [Reverse Chaos and Confused Heart Formation]!" Luo Jing waved his flag to signal the Flying Snake.
Buzz!
On the Flying Snake, a dazzling magical light appeared, locking the long-mouthed swordfish!
[Reverse Chaos and Confused Heart Formation], a first-level formation.
The only function is to affect the target's perception of a certain orientation.
For example, reverse 'upper' and 'lower'.
For human monks, this simple reversal of orientation will soon realize that something is wrong and break free, or simply reverse the crack.
But the stupid demon fish has absolutely no such intelligence.
I saw the long-billed swordfish desperately trying to dive, but it surfaced instead!
"Attack!" Luo Jing shouted coldly.
Su Ye raised the harpoon and threw it, accurately hitting the body of the long-billed swordfish!
All the crew members were like this. For a moment, scarlet blood flowed and dyed the sea red!
However...
for the huge monster fish, although the injury was serious, it would not be fatal in a short period of time.
On the contrary, the severe pain after the injury made it even more dangerous!
The severely injured long-billed swordfish showed its ferocity and simply gave up diving.
The fish's mouth, as sharp as a spear, was aimed at a spirit boat, and it sprinted towards it at full speed!
And this spirit boat happened to be the one where Su Ye and Zhao Li were!
"Be careful!"
