Chapter Seventy-Three: The Savior of the Deep Sea (5)
Edward looked at the flaming fish below, this group of flaming fish may not have seen such a strange big creature as the giant whale, and after determining that it was not dangerous, they began to breathe fire at close range.
The people on the ship also adjusted the direction, these machines that can shoot out quickly are all made by Edward himself, and the current sailors only use these things, as for the principle of which is not clear.
Before Edward's arrival, the main weapons here were harpoons and clubs, and bows and arrows were scarce.
A modified harpoon with a barb was shot from the launcher, and the tail of the harpoon was attached to a rope, and one end of the rope was tied to a turning wheel.
The one-meter-and-a-half-long harpoon quickly shot into the sea below, and the huddled flame fish had not seen this kind of attack, and when dodging, there was still a flame fish that was pierced into the mouth by the harpoon, this flame fish seemed to want to intimidate the other party by breathing fire, but its flames were not enough to melt the harpoon in an instant, so it was stabbed into the mouth by the harpoon, and then penetrated the tail of the fish.
Out of thousands of fish, the death of one fish still caused panic among the fish, and it was not a lone fish, but a flame fish that was killed in front of their eyes.
Without waiting for the fish to react, the attacks in the bow and stern of the ship continued to fight, each attack always catching a flaming fish in the dense school of fish.
The way the flame fish can deal with this attack is to huddle!
The flame fish distributed around the Whale all gathered at the bow of the ship, and then began to swim around the Whale in circles like a red meteor.
There were not many schools of fish seen from the sea, and Edward saw the flame fish two or three meters below the sea through the sea, and found that some of the flame fish carcasses that had not been pulled up were eaten by some of the smaller flame fish below the school.
The smaller flame fish were supposed to be juveniles, and Edward, unaware of the information about the flame fish, walked over after seeing the flame fish brought up by the harpoon being dragged aside.
Compared to dolphins, the flame fish is more beautiful, with flaming red scales on its body, only a white area is exposed at the belly of the fish, and there are teeth in the mouth, but not sharp teeth, but herbivore-like teeth, and a long pipe-like tongue with a hole in the middle, and a slightly bloated end on the outside.
It's beautiful if you keep your mouth shut.
"Edward, be careful, these fish can breathe fire!" Seeing Edward approaching these still stumbling flame fish, Nashan immediately reminded him, no matter what, this young man is a person who is appreciated by the king.
Edward nodded, then crouched down and touched his hand on the Flame Fish's head.
Through the magic point of the core of the hand, Edward's mental power and magic began to seep into the body of the flame fish, and while making the flame fish lose resistance, he carried out a cycle in its body, and soon learned about the body structure and some behavior patterns of the flame fish.
The flame fish absorbs the gas from the outside world and some substances in the sea, and then transforms it in the body, excretes the waste, and stores the gas that can turn into flames in the body, similar to "phosphorus", these combustible gases that are not classified are squeezed and sprayed out by the special tongue of the flame fish, and the air contact will form a large flame.
The flame is just an ordinary flame, and it is indeed an ordinary flame to Edward, and it is not at the same level as the flame ignited by magic, so Edward did not pay attention to this flame fish.
Edward was able to breathe fire himself, and after possessing the talent for magic, Edward activated the positive five cores, which was also a very simple spell for Edward.
Edward thought for a moment that if he was to chant for a long time using word magic, the flames would be enough to melt the Whale.
Not of much value, that's what Edward said about the Flame Fish, and turned around and walked towards the cabin.
Because there were too many people on the boat, everyone was running around now, and Nashan didn't pay attention to Edward.
Hiding his identity is just an unnecessary form of entertainment for Edward, to relieve the fatigue caused by cultivation and research, and now that he is almost rested, Edward still has a lot of things to deal with, such as sleeping.
More than eight hours of sleep a day was a necessary rest for Edward, and instead of following the world's habit of living an eighty-four hour day, Edward followed his own habit of sleeping eight to twelve hours every twenty-four hours.
"Someone's overboard!
As he entered the cabin, Edward heard a shout, and looked in that direction, and after looking through the crowd and the hull of the ship, he saw a somewhat thin middle-aged man falling into the water.
The middle-aged man was a swimmer, and after falling into the water, he floated against the bottom of the whale and shouted loudly to it.
Edward could sense the panic of the other man, but his gaze shifted to the other side, looking at the flame fish that had stopped swimming since someone fell into the water.
The eyes of the flame fish were not red, but black, and at this time, a pair of black eyes looked at the middle-aged man who fell into the water, and then rushed towards the middle-aged man.
Countless flame fish jumped up from the surface of the sea, and some of them could even slap the flame fish that jumped low after jumping into the air, and then continued to rise until there was no longer any more strength to borrow.
A tall red tower rose above the surface of the sea, and thousands of flame fish rose to a height where they could overlook the Whale in an instant.
The red tower was approaching the man, and it was also approaching the Whale, and if it fell, the tower would inflict massive damage on the humans at the bow of the ship.
"Kill him! Kill him!" Nashan roared, and then directly took a launcher and roared at the middle-aged man who fell into the water: "If you die, we will be safe!"
Edward looked at the red tower that kept changing materials, and the flame fish would quickly jump up and continue to rise after falling into the water, but in Edward's opinion, even if these flame fish could get on the boat, that is, dozens of them, they could not cause much damage to a ship of the size of the giant whale, that is, they would just shake it.
The panic of Nashan and the others was more just the fear of the red tower in front of them, out of fear of unknown creatures, just like the fear of the flame fish for the giant whale.
According to Nashan's description and what is obtained from the body structure of the flame fish, the flame fish is indeed afraid of human blood, because human blood can attract the arrival of manta rays.
After the middle-aged man fell into the water, the flame fish instinctively learned that the creature that fell into the water was a human.
So, humanity must die! )
