Chapter 34: A Lonely Ship on the Sea

Quietly comprehended for a while the eighteen palms and nine styles of descending the dragon: or leaping into the abyss, which contained the realm of martial arts and philosophical rhyme.

Then Sox continued to read the new book "Hokage: I Am the Nine-Tails".

The reading progress of this book is a little slow, because Sox has been hunting monsters in the wild for the past two days, and he really can't spend too much mental energy to speed up the reading progress.

Fortunately, Sox is free now, and it will only take about 3 days to read the latest chapters and open the supporting character skills page in this Naruto fanfiction!

The sea breeze blows, and he gets used to the faint smell of fish outside, and Sox slowly immerses himself in the world of fiction.

......

It's a pity that this is a whaling ship after all!

The noise on the deck outside had barely subsided, and none of the other capable people in the cabin had been quiet......

"Can't you just read a novel in peace like I do?" Sox covered his forehead helplessly.

After watching it for more than ten minutes, Sox couldn't stand the noise around him, so he could only pause.

After a moment's hesitation, he simply put away the novel, went to the lively deck, and happily joined the fishing audience.

At this time, next to the bow of the ship, the old captain of the White Rose was pressing the mascot mermaid statue on the ship with his left hand, and a sharp harpoon in his right hand, staring at the sea with wide eyes.

Next to him were a lot of onlookers of sailors and capable passengers, and Sox was among them.

After a few minutes of silence, suddenly a large black fish with a body length of about three meters jumped up from the water, opened its sharp mouth and bit at a piece of bloody beast meat hanging on the side of the ship.

The old captain laughed wildly, and his muscles shook violently, and the harpoon shot out with a violent breaking sound, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound that pierced the head of the big black fish.

The harpoon pierced the big fish's head and killed him, and the old captain laughed loudly, pulling the big fish up with a rope made of tenacious tendons behind the harpoon.

The passengers and sailors around them applauded.

Sox is also a relish, can hit a high-speed jumping fish in a single blow on a moving ship, this old captain is really old and strong, and his body bones are well maintained.

The gray-bearded captain pulled the fish up and smiled at everyone on deck: "Big guy, a fresh sand tooth fish!" Good thing, its cod liver is delicious! ”

"Tom, Tom!"

Under the sea breeze, a stout sailor with a tall horse walked over with a smile and helped the captain pull the sand tooth fish, which weighed at least several hundred pounds, onto the deck.

The boatswain Tom of the White Rose pulled out a sharp fishing knife and slashed open the fish's belly with great skill, carefully cutting off its liver.

The sand tooth fish is a marine fish endemic to the East China Sea, and although it is not a dimensional monster, it is far more ferocious than ordinary sea creatures.

At the same time, its leather is an excellent leather armor material, and the fins can also be sold at a good price, and the high-end restaurants of Xiangji Island buy tens of thousands of sand tooth fins every year.

But the most delicious and precious thing about the sand tooth fish is its liver.

A few sailors came to him, and they brought a large wooden plate, and Tom cut the liver on the deck.

Then, at the behest of the old captain, it was generously distributed to the surrounding passengers.

Sox borrowed the soy sauce given by the sailors, added a little pungent mustard, and then grabbed a piece of cod liver and stuffed it into his mouth, the tender cod liver almost melted in his mouth, a spicy, fresh and sweet mixed with a faint, indescribable taste of the juice flowed into the stomach, and soon a hot breath spread from the stomach.

"It's fresh and tender enough, and it's much better than the so-called freshly made in the restaurant!" Sox savored the taste of the cod liver in his mouth, and let out a satisfied admiration.

As the White Rose moved deeper and deeper into the sea, the old captain said that he would allow capable and confident passengers to rent harpoons at his own expense and hunt freely on deck.

Moreover, the sea fish that the passengers hunt themselves can be sold directly to the White Rose.

In this way, many of these passengers, who are capable people, want to try it.

Sox was no exception, and he rented a harpoon made of refined iron and wanted to play with a few.

After two failures, Sox quickly found the hang of it.

These ferocious fish of the sea, often greedy and stupid, will jump up as soon as they hang the bait on the side of the boat, exposing their deadly vital points to the sharp harpoon.

If they are in the water, a two- or three-meter-long sand tooth fish can consume a first-order martial arts sect alive, but when they are out of the shelter of the seawater, they are really vulnerable under the sharp harpoon.

The only difficulty is in the timing and force of throwing the harpoon, and it must be fast and ruthless, and there must be no hesitation.

Those who have the ability to get the hang of it will soon have their own gains.

Dozens of medium-sized marine fish were neatly laid out on the deck, and the skin, fins, livers, and teeth of these large creatures were quickly cut off by sailors, most of them used as ingredients in the kitchen, and a few others were placed in the freezer.

Sox kicked the fin that was thrown on the deck and smiled, "In the high-end restaurant of Shangji Island, a fin can be sold by them for 1 gold coin!" It turns out that the price here is dozens of times worse, these damn black-hearted restaurants! ”

The old captain laughed heartily and said to Sox: "High-end restaurants sell the environment and cooking skills, but in fact, freshness is the most delicious factor in this kind of sea fish!" On board my White Rose, have a good meal and you won't regret it! ”

Sox politely thanked him and expressed his anticipation.

....

The White Rose continues to fight through the sea.

Suddenly, the lookout on the mast cried out loudly: "Boat! There's a boat there! ”

After a pause, the lookout shouted as if he had seen a ghost: "A small wooden boat with only one man, hell!" ”

This is not a shallow sea area, and there have been dimensional monsters infested recently, so someone dares to go to sea alone in a small wooden boat?

The sailors and passengers on deck also cried out in surprise.

They had seen a few ships on this route, but they were all medium or large ships without exception.

"Which unlucky pirate was exiled by his own pirate ship?"

The old captain of the White Rose snapped his lips, took a monocular from the hand of the sailor beside him, and said, "Slow down, lean over and see!" If it's an abandoned villain, let him keep drifting; If it's a poor man who has been shipwrecked, then, well, I'll help him generously! ”

Shrugging his shoulders, Sox smiled, "If it's really an unlucky ghost who was shipwrecked on a boat, then I can help him pay for the boat!" ”
