Chapter 414: Crushing Bureau
The Chels, which had been caught in the soul by an arcane missile, struggled for a long time, and finally floated on the surface of the water with its belly facing the sky, and the effect of the spell explosion turned the unlucky Chel's brain into a pulp, and the Chel lost its central control...... Died of suffocation.
The unremarkable arcane missile for the first time had an astonishing effect, and the contrast was as shocking to the sailors as if the water gun had killed the Tyrannosaurus rex.
It's the same with Pike - although he knew that Rod was hanging, he didn't know that he was hanging!
However, in addition to the shock, Pike is also a little sorry - based on his years of experience, the fish is useless.
Rhodes, who was fishing for the first time, did not control the severity of his attack, which made the explosion too violent, and the fish oil glands under the gills of the fish may have been destroyed, and the fish oil and fish blood will immediately become invalid and become waste.
That is, the fish ...... Rod Bai killed.
(Well, you can't blame Rhodes for that, Pike keeps saying how resistant the fish is, and this exaggerated description is entirely from his point of view, and the gap between him and Rhodes ...... It's a bit bigger. )
On the other side, seeing the bloody scene in front of him, Rhodes didn't realize that he was too heavy!
"What, silver pewter heads, wasting my feelings."
After muttering a word, Rhodes silently summoned the mage's hand and pulled over the corpse of the Tur Fish, which had gradually emptied the internal gas and began to sink slowly.
"That-Pike, you're a professional, tell me, what's this thing worth besides fish oil?"
"Well, the skin of the fish is more precious - why don't you just peel the skin off, and by the way, you can deepen your understanding of the structure of the fish......"
"Great idea!"
So, the fishing work was suspended, and Rhodes began his own big business.
Manipulating the mage's hand, Rhodes seemed to have returned to Dalaran's final exam - at that time, the exam topic was rune drawing under the mage's hand, and like his current work, it was very meticulous.
However, unlike the known runes, Rhodes was able to carefully observe and judge the structural characteristics of each part of the fish while using the mage's hand to peel the skin.
Where it's stronger, where it's more vulnerable, where an attack doesn't cause fatal injuries, where an attack is lethal but doesn't destroy the fish oil glands......
Although Packett had patiently taught Rhodes about the fish, it was only after he had done a solo peeling that he had truly mastered the structure of the fish.
"The explosion in the mouth of the fish is correct—the skin of this thing is quite strong."
"You can increase the damage of the explosion once, but reduce the concussion in the way that the parotid tissue fluid of the fish overflows."
"The skull of the fish also explained that the soft tissues at the joints did not seem to be very strong, and it is not known whether it was torn by the explosion or was itself fragile, which has yet to be verified."
“……”
“……”
Rhodes was quick to start and analyze - before the sailors had a meal, the whole fish was skinned and dissected, and then the skin was left to be nitrated, a small amount of meat was used as bait, and the rest was thrown back into the sea.
After this part of the work was completed, the four ships accelerated again.
The Tur Fish has a strong sense of territory, and it is almost impossible to have a second around such a large Turre, so in order to find the next target, Rhodes needs to sail for a while.
……………………
Rhodes soon found his second prey.
Pike repeats his old trick and once again "catches" a piece of treated sea snake meat except for the Chel, which is smaller than the previous one, but still a terrifying behemoth.
It is still the usual posture of the fish, opening its mouth to create a low-pressure whirlpool, causing the boat to lose its balance.
This time, Rod didn't make another mistake.
The arcane missile flew into the mouth of the Chord and exploded with precision - Rhodes controlled the explosion range of the spell, and the Chord immediately lost consciousness, but did not die.
After stunning his target, Rhodes summoned the Mage's Hand.
The power of the mage's hand is directly related to the strength of the caster, so Rod's mage hand can be said to be very powerful, after the poor choir lost consciousness, Rod's mage hand directly opened its gills and took out the glands that secreted fish oil.
After a quick series of operations, Rod gave the fish a treat.
The sailors are already a little numb.
This behemoth, which could not be handled at all in the usual sense, was like a salted fish that had been slaughtered and dried under Rhodes' hands.
This time, Rhodes didn't skin the fish by himself—on the one hand, because his mana was tight now, and he could save it; On the other hand, it is because of ...... It cost money to hire these sailors themselves, and those gold coins can't be wasted!
So, Rod, calmly, like some capital uncle, collapsed on the deck chair, and pulled down the parasol that was spread above his head to block the dazzling sunlight.
Perfect!
