Chapter 6: The First Battle of the Fishmen, The Power of Language
The ship's damage was much worse than he had imagined.
Not only have the two masts of the front and rear of the ship been broken in two, but even the sails hanging on them are only a little connected to the ship.
The ship, which was already mostly submerged in the sea, felt as if it had hit a reef head-on, and several large holes were broken in the strings of the ship, and the hull was covered with narrow cracks, which broke directly from the middle of the hull.
Looking at the degree of twisting of the hull, it is estimated that the keel has been broken.
Not to mention repair, it is estimated that it can only be recycled.
Before Ji Chen could be disappointed, there was a sudden strange sound from the broken hull.
Let him be vigilant all at once.
Soon, hideous tentacles stretched out from the swarthy holes, and a pair of red eyes appeared.
"Ding~ You're in combat mode. I judge morale. Allies lead armies with +10 morale. Close to the ocean, morale +3. Quantity suppression, morale +5. Tier suppression, morale +5. Level disadvantage, morale -5. Class Traits: Timid, morale -15. ”
"The morale of our shallow sea fishmen is 53 points, and they have entered an advantageous state."
Ji Chen's face was stunned, and a little joy swelled up in his heart.
Morale is one of the components of Lord of Glory's combat system.
When the morale is 50, it will be in equilibrium, above 50 points will enter the advantageous state, and below 50 points will enter the inferior state, the former will increase the combat effectiveness and fighting will of the class, and the latter will decrease.
For example, if the morale is below 10 points, there will be a rout, and if the morale is higher than 90 points, you will attack frantically regardless of casualties.
Morale is determined by factors such as the quantity, quality, environment, and characteristics of the troops.
However, the cowardly nature of the fish-man directly reduced morale by 15 points, and almost pulled the morale down by 50 points, which is simply thrilling.
When he came back to his senses, the hideous tentacles that stretched out from the hull of the ship had already stretched out, revealing even the monster hiding inside.
Ten half-sized tentacle monsters scrambled to crawl out of the hole.
These monsters have eight hideous, thick tentacles.
There are suction cups on the inside of the tentacles, and there are thin triangular sharp teeth in the suction cups.
The tentacles are connected to a large head in the middle, with a hideous mouthpart in the direction of the head facing downward, and two round eyes growing at the junction between the tentacles and the head.
At this time, as if smelling food, his eyes were round like copper bells, and he crawled out of the hole in the hull one after another.
【Shallow water octopus】

[Do you want to be tied up by Asia too?] 】
It's you! Squidward!
Seeing these ten octopus monsters crawling up, Ji Chen was not only afraid, but also excited.
After being strengthened, the river fishmen are as high as 8 stars of the first order, and they are directly crushed at the level.
In his eyes, these octopuses are food for walking!
"Salted fish, rush me!"
"Eat sizzling octopus tonight!"
"Quack !!"
After receiving the order, the fish people were in high spirits, their eyes were very determined (dead fish eyes), and they rushed forward with excitement (seeing food).
There are almost twice as many of them on the opposite side (to bully less with more), and there is also the great king of salted fish in command (there is someone behind him).
How could you not defeat these ugly octopus monsters?
After Ji Chen shouted, he immediately squatted behind a reef and began to watch the battle from the edge.
Hmph, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.
Leave such a dangerous thing to the fishers.
Boom~
The fish-man and the octopus monster tore together.
The shallow octopus that crawls at the front waves two tentacles and wraps around a fish-man.
They want to use their species' proudest bondage technique to bind these dead salted fish so that they can feast on them.
However, when the tentacles touched the fish-man, they were slipped aside by the slime on its body.
Seeing this scene, the dead fish eyes of the fish-man flashed with pride and arrogance.
This is the great king of salted fish, bestowing upon them a precious liquid that these octopus monsters can destroy?
Eat my salted fish spike!
The fish-man swung his short limbs, picked up the bone spear and stabbed it hard.
Puff~
The sharpened tip of the spear pierced one of the shallow octopus's tentacles without hindrance, piercing through the other side.
The injured shallow octopus struggled frantically, and the other seven tentacles waved in unison, hanging on the fishman's head like face-hugging insects.
The sharp edges of the teeth on the inner suction cups of the tentacles began to wriggle, gnawing at the scales like a grinder, trying to break through the scales and pierce the flesh.
But I don't know why, the sharp teeth that used to be able to easily break through the scale armor of the fish-man can now only grind out shallow holes.
Feeling something sharp about his body, the fish-man became completely angry.
These dead octopuses like to eat them on weekdays, and now they have new hatreds and old hatreds together!
When the shallow water octopus was frantically burrowing, the bone spear in the fishman's hand stabbed upwards and stabbed into the octopus's head.
In an instant, blue blood oozed from the wound.
Puff~
The bone spear was drawn, and blue blood poured out of the wound like water.
A fishy smell permeated the air, and even the sea breeze could not blow it away.
The shallow octopus, whose head had been hit hard, became a little sluggish, and the binding strength was not as strong as before.
The mouthparts shrank and swelled, squirting out a large amount of ink, shooting the fish-man in the face, and splashing to other places, and the scene was messy.
The fatal wound shallow water octopus struggled weakly, and the strength of the tentacle binding gradually decreased, and after being pierced through the head again, it fell to the ground weakly with a bang.
Although the shallow octopus is proficient in eighteen binding techniques, it has no choice but to be able to cause effective damage to the fishmen, and is outnumbered.
Defeat is only a matter of time.
A shallow octopus was besieged by multiple fish-men and fell one after another.
The blue blood stained the reef blue, washed away and lightened by the sea.
It doesn't take a few minutes.
The shallow water octopuses have all turned into dead octopuses, and none of the fish-people have died, and they have raised their bone spears and croaked happily.
"Ding~ The battle is over, and you have achieved a victory full of glory. +20% bonus experience for no deaths. ”
"You have gained 24 XP, current experience [24%/100%]."
"Your class, the Shallow Sea Fishmen, gained 24 XP, current XP [24%/100%]"
After receiving the system prompt, Ji Chen, who was hiding behind the reef and watching the battle, also breathed a sigh of relief, and walked out with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
After unlocking the node, the strength of the enhanced fishman has increased significantly.
This also made Ji Chen more eager for the class technology tree.
With the Class Tech Tree, even a fishman with very low initial strength and potential can grow into a powerful class!
Walk up to the fish-man.
Ji Chen looked appreciative and said loudly to the fish people in an impassioned tone.
"You're doing a great job!"
"Who says fish-people should be hunted by other creatures? Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the fish and people are poor! ”
"I will lead you to become a powerful marine class!"
"Let those species that used to look down on you not be able to climb high!"
Hearing his words, the fishmen became excited, put their bone spears on the ground, and bowed down to him.
The roar of the croaking was endless.
He smiled, but after understanding what the fish-man meant, the corners of his mouth twitched again.
"Long live the great king of salted fish!"
"The king of salted fish is here, and there is a blue sky! The sea is too peaceful! ”
"Ding~ Your speech has greatly encouraged the fish people, and the morale of the next battle will be increased by an additional 15 points."
Yo, how can it have this effect?
Wouldn't it be necessary to have a pre-war and post-war mobilization speech every time, so that the morale of the fish-men's timidity could be offset?
