Chapter 209: Spearfish (Part I)

The civilians and militiamen who watched the bustle followed from a distance, but did not dare to come closer.

There are a few dilapidated houses by the river, which seem to have been destroyed by Warcraft spearfish either during the day or at night yesterday, and the water has not completely dried up.

There were a few tattered planks floating on the river, and they were attached to the stakes on the shore with ropes, which were probably the original docks.

The river is a little muddy, but not all the way to the bottom, and you can still see the shadow of the wooden stakes on the pier.

We walked past the wharf, walked past the dilapidated houses, walked a few hundred steps, and the river was calm, except for the sound of waves at the confluence of the two rivers not far away, and the surroundings were quiet.

The Bloodhoof soldiers were armed and ready for battle.

"Look at the ...... that scared them," said Leo, "within five hundred meters, there were no magical beasts at all, and there was not even a small fish in the river!" ”

"What is the current range of movement of the Warcraft Spearfish?" I asked.

"I can't say," said the Centurion, "the day before yesterday it swam to the town of Pami, which is two days away, but it swam back in half a day, and we only learned of it this morning......

"Looks like another wasteful task......" I complained to Leo.

"People are doing you fairly, and you are willing to pick up ......," Leo said, "who can blame you?" ”

"Then again, it's a trick, but it's also an exercise," I said, "and that's what the book says – look at things from a different perspective." ”

"If you have a future, you will think backwards!" Leo said.

"It's as fast in the water as a cheetah...... "and it's quite tough!" said the Ten. ”

"The most important thing now is not to worry about encountering it," I said, "but I'm afraid it won't come!" ”

"That's right," said a few soldiers, "with the strength of Lord Bihong, he can easily kill the Warcraft Spearfish!" ”

"I'm also afraid, afraid that it won't come out if it hides in the water." I say.

"Haha!" Several soldiers chuckled.

"It is of paramount importance to eliminate it as soon as possible," said the Centurion, "and civilians on both sides of the strait cannot wait long......

"Don't worry, I'll solve it as quickly as possible." I say.

"The cowhide is blowing out...... Leo said.

"I said that you earthlings are really strange, it's obvious that humans themselves are talking big things, but I want to say that I am bragging......"

"On the other hand, you say it's okay to blow rhinoceros skins and hippopotamus skins......," Leo said, "and the point is, you're talking big......

"Have you come up with an idea?" I asked.

"Learn the lesson from the previous and kill the demonic beasts the first time we meet, otherwise, they are bent on dodging, and you can't help it." Leo said.

"Then you have to make some effort," I said, "and if it attacks me, you can catch it ashore as much as you can......"

"Okay...... Leo was a little helpless, "you can outwit it, but now you have to fight it." ”

"It's only right to finish early." I say.

"My lord, let's just go all the way to find it, aren't we going to do anything else?" Said the Centurion.

"Didn't you say there was no other way?" I say.

"Actually, we still have some harpoon......s," said the Centurion.

"Have you tried?" I asked.

"We, we are not strong enough," the ten-captain looked ashamed, "but if we give you cover, my lord, you should be more effective with a harpoon than a shield and a hammer." ”

"Well, that's an idea too......" I thought for a moment and said.

"That's right!" Leo suddenly shouted, "Catch it ashore!" ”

"With a fishhook?" I asked, "You just came up with an idea here, and you came up with an idea too?" ”

"The harpoon is too straight, it's safer to replace it with a hook!" Leo said, "Well, at least it's a hook as long as an arm, tied to an iron chain, let's play big!" ”

"Chains? An arm-sized hook? "I don't understand.

"As long as you can hook it, you won't be afraid that it will run away," Leo said, "and I can make a move." ”

"You guys, go get ready for the harpoon!" The Captain of Ten has already begun to command.

"Wait a minute!" I hurriedly said, "Do you have that hook that is as long as an arm?" ”

"Fishhooks?" The Captain of the Ten and the soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then one of the soldiers said, "Lord Bihong, it's not a fish hook that big, it's called an anchor ......."

"Anchor? It should be the smallest kind," said the Centurion, "and the thing is heavy......

"How much does it weigh?" I asked.

"There is almost one man who is ......," said the Ten-Captain.

"That's fine!" I said, "Get one of them, and find a chain, preferably longer, tied to the anchor ......."

"Also, do you want to tie the chain?" The Ten-Captain was even more surprised.

"I'm afraid it's useless with a normal rope, right?" I asked rhetorically.

"Yes to ......," the Captain of Ten muttered, before waving his hand, "don't take the harpoon, go and get ready." ”

Several soldiers immediately set off.

The people who were watching the commotion from a distance saw the soldiers walking towards them, and they all gathered around.

Soon, two soldiers came carrying an anchor about the thickness of my arm, and the other two came with iron chains.

The anchor was rusty, the chains were half-new, and I joined them together, and Leo said, "Do you want some bait or something?" ”

"Is there any bait?" I asked the Ten-Commander.

"Yes!" The ten-captain hurriedly nodded, "Spearfish love to eat meat, and their noses are smart, even sharks don't dare to mess with them, and besides, sharks will go crazy when they smell blood, but spearfish are very calm......"

"Well, it's an optimized combination of marlin and sailfish on the planet...... "Leo said, "and there's a challenge!" ”

Soon, another soldier brought in a lump of fresh meat, which looked like a freshly cut boar leg.

I slipped the boar's leg into the anchor, weighed it, and then untied the black bronze wooden shield and hammer, and gave it to a soldier for safekeeping.

The soldier touched the black copper wood enviously, and then hugged it tightly, reluctant to let go.

I picked up the anchor and threw it straight into the water.

The anchor was vacated into the water, carrying half of the iron chain, and making a "bang, bang, bang".

I stood on the embankment, holding the other end of the chain and began to walk downstream.

Naturally, the Ten-Captain and his party hurriedly prepared their weapons and followed me closely.

Next, all we have to do is wait for the Warcraft Spearfish to take the bait.

To be honest, I didn't have much hope for this stupid solution, but the Captain Ten said, "My lord, this is the only feasible way at the moment, and the swordfish will definitely take the bait!" But if we can't catch it, let's call the priests......"

"This kid doesn't have faith in you......" Leo said.

"Don't worry, as long as it dares to come out, I can clean it up!" I say.

I thought it would take a little more time for this mission, but I didn't expect that Warcraft Spearfish didn't make me wait too long.

After dragging the bait for almost half a circle around Thunder City, the spearfish appeared.

"Well, sure enough, there is still a protagonist aura, and it appeared so soon......" Leo said suddenly.

"What?" I'm coming to the spirit.

"Are you coming?" The Captain of Ten followed and became vigilant.

We looked downstream and saw nothing.

"You feel it?" I asked, somewhat surprised, "At least, within a thousand steps, I can't see...... Could it be that your mind can perceive so far? ”

"Hehe," Leo was a little proud, "just allow you to increase your strength, and don't you want me to improve a little?" ”

"Well, no matter what, your strength is also a part of me," I said, "as long as you don't harm me at the critical moment......

"When have I ever hurt you?" Leo seemed to have been greatly wronged, "How can you say that? ”

"Although we have all reconciled, I suspect that your motive is to fix me." I say.

"Now that they've all been reconciled, why are you still haunted?" Leo said, "Be careful, it's starting to speed up!" ”

"We'll talk about that later!" I cheered up and was on guard.

"Where's the swordfish, my lord?" The ten-captain asked a little panicked.

"It's coming soon!" I clenched the chains in my hands and said.

At this moment, a clear ripple appeared on the surface of the water less than a thousand paces ahead.

The ripples are V-shaped, and the tip city is rapidly approaching us.

The Bloodhoof soldiers saw it this time, too.

"Be careful, prepare for war!" The ten-captain snorted.

The soldiers had already prepared their weapons, and they all slowly bent their waists, ready to attack.

The swordfish is getting faster and faster, and when it is less than 300 paces, it is even so fast that it is frightening, the "V" shaped ripples "whoosh", the waves splash in all directions, and the dorsal fin of the swordfish is hidden under the surface of the water.

This is one, almost the size of a Kodomon!

It's the first time I've seen such a big size.

"Oh, this little physique, it's okay......" said Leo, "enough for a village to eat a few meals!" ”

"Then, catch it first!" I say.

The Spearfish quickly approached us, and the Bloodhoof became more nervous, and the Ten-Captain whispered again, "Ready-"

Several shield-carrying soldiers raised their arms in the air.

However, the swordfish did not jump out of the water.

"If there's meat in the water, who's going to go ashore?" Leo said with a smile.

Then I felt the chain in my hand being pulled by a huge force and falling into the river!

The sailfish bites!
