Shen Yue lay behind the giant crossbow, holding the crossbow body with his left hand, holding the crossbow handle in his right hand, and putting his right index finger on the trigger, turning the crossbow machine, and using the aiming device on the arrow trough to aim at the whale group less than 100 meters.

"Boss, you can't shoot! The Dragon King is angry, no one can afford it! Liao Chun stumbled over, crying and rushing towards Shen Yue, hoping to pull Shen Yue away. Owner, please, the entire fleet of more than 200 people, once something happens, more than 200 families will lose their pillars! ”

Liao Chun's cries and pleadings made Shen Yue want to cry without tears.

Where and where?

If you don't just hunt whales, you have to be associated with the Dragon King.

Shen Qi saw that Liao Chun and his gang were stopping the young master and wanted to pull Liao Chun away, but he didn't expect Liao Chun's hand to hold Shen Yue's arm tightly and not let go, and he almost fell down all of a sudden.

It's a real shame.

Shen Qi couldn't help but be angry, pounced again, grabbed Liao Chun's shirt with one hand, and said sharply: "Old thing, let go quickly, if you get in the way of the young master's affairs again, I want you to look good!" If it weren't for your age, I'd have thrown you into the sea and fed the sharks! ”

"Shut up!" Shen Yue scolded Shen Qi, this kid actually didn't respect the old man.

"Young master, he ......" Shen Qi was puzzled, how could the young master not know the hearts of good people.

"Stand down, it's none of your business!" Shen Yue said coldly.

The young master had an order, but Shen Qi could only let go unwillingly and retreated to the side.

"Old Liao, what kind of dragon son and grandson is that! It's not like no one has killed it before, you know ambergris, right? It was taken from the bellies of these whales. Shen Yue needed to dispel their fears.

In this era, people are more afraid of the unknown than anything.

In the future, they will need to go to sea for whaling, and they can't come in person every time, and there are still a lot of things waiting for him to do.

He simply talked about ambergris.

Ambergris was born from the digestive system of sperm whales.

Shen Yue also knows that ambergris taken from the intestines of sperm whales has no practical value, the real ambergris is that after sperm whales hunt large mollusks, the tough jaws and tongue teeth of mollusks are not digested, and gradually accumulate in the intestines, stimulating the sperm whale intestines to secrete a special waxy substance to wrap the things that are not digested and accumulate in the intestines to form a black solid, and finally vomit or excrete them, becoming the original ambergris.

The finest ambergris is white.

Ambergris soaked in seawater will slowly be floated out by the seawater, and the color will gradually change from black to gray, light gray, and finally white high-grade ambergris.

Shen Yue knew that these people didn't understand, as long as the ambergris was found in the whale's body, there was nothing wrong with his statement.

Who doesn't know ambergris? That's the most expensive cargo.

"Owner, you said that ambergris is from these...... Taken out of the belly of a giant thing? It took Liao Chun a long time to come back to his senses, and when he saw that the whales were getting closer and closer, less than seventy meters away, he asked bitterly.

"Yes! Or will I take the risk of going to sea without preparing the goods? Shen Yue nodded. The value of ambergris, who doesn't know? This thing isn't a dragon's saliva, it's on them......"

Without Shen Yue saying it, Liao Chun understood what he meant.

Going out to sea to hunt whales, for ambergris, anyone can understand.

Ambergris is a top-quality spice and a valuable medicinal herb that costs as much as gold.

The amount of ambergris that appears each year is not very large, but the number of people who need it is very large.

"Boss, is this really true?" Liao Chun still didn't believe it, but let go of his hand.

If ambergris is really taken out of the whale's body, it means that many people hunt and kill whales, otherwise where does so much ambergris come from every year?

The young owner must have known from somewhere that the Shen family was broken, was stripped of his fame and lost his way to become a leader, and was facing the danger of being cut down and eradicated, so he had to use a desperate approach.

"Whether it's true or not, kill a few heads and see how you can see it!" Shen Yue didn't bother to continue explaining.

The ambergris in the sperm whale's body, even if he finds it, may not be able to use it, not to mention that he doesn't even know if the whale group in front of him is a sperm whale.

Liao Chun let go of his hand, and Shen Yue was also relieved.

The other sailors were threatened by the family and didn't dare to make a move, and the people didn't know what to do, Shen Yue was there, even Xu Jiao was murderous, who dared to move?

The boat kept heading in the direction of the whales.

Perhaps the Ming merchant ships have never harmed the whales, and when they see the huge warship, the whales playing are not afraid. Instead of diving to escape, some of them jumped out of the water and smashed their huge bodies into the sea, making a high splash.

"What are you doing? Bring up the arrows from another crossbow! Liao Chun didn't stop it, so Shen Yue ordered Shen Qi, who was in a daze, and the other two family members to wind up the other crossbow as well.

Shen Qi hurriedly followed Shen Yue's example and began to shake the crank used for winding under the crossbow bed, and the other two family members began to put ropes on the crossbow arrows.

The young master usually doesn't pay attention to it, but this matter is naturally reliable.

As the distance narrowed, the sound made by the whales, like the "hum" sound of human sighs or muttering, reached Shen Yue's ears.

It turned out to be a gray whale.

The gray whale is not bad, the body is not small, and there is a lot of subcutaneous fat, and a single whale can make a lot of things that Shen Yue needs.

The warship was still approaching the whale group, and Shen Yue had been choosing a target all the time, and in the end, a gray whale about four feet long at the edge of the whale group was locked on by him as a target.

"For the sake of my own life, I'm sorry, I can only let you contribute yourself, in the future, I will definitely remember you!" Shen Yue took a deep breath.

That's him.

Fifty meters.

Forty meters.

Thirty meters.

The whales still didn't move, and everyone held their breath.

Most people were worried that after Shen Yue shot the crossbow arrow, the whales would crash into the warship wildly, and there was no way at all.

Shen Yue's heart also stopped beating. If a group of whales dives, they will have to wait for an unknown amount of time, or even lose track of the whales.

The whales playing in the distance seemed to notice that the warship was getting closer and closer to them, and the leading whale more than five feet long spewed out a thick column of water, like the sound of a train whistle, making everyone's scalp tingle.

Then the whale's head sank, its tail cocked upward, and it began to dive.

The whales seemed to get a signal, and they also sank rapidly.

"It's now!" Thirty meters away, it was still a little far, and seeing that the target's head began to go down, Shen Yue couldn't wait any longer.

He made a quick decision and did not hesitate to pull the index finger that had been on the trigger.

"Bang!" The thick crossbow string flicked forward sharply at the moment when the trigger was pulled, making a dull sound, and then, with a sharp whistling sound, the twelve-pound crossbow bolt flew towards the target, and the rope behind the crossbow arrow was straightened and released from the rapidly rotating wheel.

Everyone's eyes were on the direction in which the huge arrow was flying.
