Chapter 6: Fighting Sea Serpents
Hades bred up his spirits and followed the message to the ship with the current, staring intently at the sea.
I saw that the blue sea suddenly rippled, and the large circle was wrapped in a small circle, and the waves were stirred up by layer, accompanied by a long roar, and a sea snake with a diameter of more than one meter drilled out of the sea.
The body of the sea snake is a color between gray and black, covered in scaly armor, a hideous and ugly snake mouth with sharp fangs, and the turquoise pupils exude a strange red, which is a murderous aura.
The big one, estimated to be 30 meters long, was the one Hades had encountered when he went fishing two days earlier.
The first time they met, he was overly frightened, and he took control of dozens of metal spears and shot them like ballistas.
And this guy was not afraid, and curled up his huge body as a defensive gesture while trying to entangle the hull of the ship, trying to drag the whole boat under the water.
Luckily, its seemingly knotted muscles couldn't stop Hades' onslaught, and a dozen metal spears pierced its body, leaving a dozen wounds, blood splattering everywhere, leaving large swaths of blood along the hull and staining the deck red.
The sea snake screamed and fled to the bottom of the sea in a hurry with a dozen metal spears pierced in half.
From then on, he had a feud with the sea serpent.
Unable to get rid of it at the speed of a sloop, the snake has been following Hades on the bottom of the sea.
Sneak attacks at any time, day and night, as long as there is an opportunity, it will jump up and harass it.
At first, Hades tried to avoid it, but later, as more and more of the ship's metal spears were taken away from them because they pierced the body of the sea serpent, Hades was also annoyed.
You know, it's a metal spear worth 5,000 gold coins!
He worked hard to go to the sea to fish for a few days and saved less than 30,000 yuan, and he had to lose a lot of money in a fight with this guy, how could he be willing if he didn't get back the loss from this guy.
But it is not easy to kill the sea snake, Hades has been meditating hard for the past two days, purchasing equipment with the system, and making sufficient preparations and plans.
Now when he met this sea serpent again, he was not afraid, and even more excited.
I saw the sea serpent open its bloody mouth, revealing its sharp teeth and biting towards the hull of the ship.
Having fought many battles, it also became wiser, knowing that if it wrapped its body around the ship, it would be punctured, so it switched to gnawing at the hull with its teeth, hoping to gradually eat away at the enemy by constantly attrition.
But what it didn't know was that the last thing Hades's ship was afraid of was consumption, and as soon as it bit out a big hole in the ship, he called up the system and consumed three planks to fill the hole, so fast that even the slightly intelligent sea snake was stunned and couldn't figure out the reason.
But Hades was not idle, and so many days of combat experience had made him extremely proficient in manipulating anything on the ship.
He found that there was a limit to the distance he could drive objects, just as the spirit of a ship could not go too far from its main body.
And the limit of this distance is ten meters.
As soon as the metal spear was more than ten meters away from the hull, he lost control of it, just as the humanoid ship spirit would be forcibly recalled after leaving ten meters away.
So he's waiting for his moment.
Seeing that the bite of its teeth did not work against the enemy, the sea serpent changed its strategy and leaped into the water.
Hades didn't know what else it was going to do, but he knew his chance had come when he saw the sea serpent's move.
Seize the moment and stare at the moment when the sea serpent's huge and hideous tail is raised high.
"It's now!"
A harpoon, twice as thick and sharper than a normal metal spear, flew out of the deck and pierced the sea serpent's weakest part, the fishtail, like a bullet.
The big creature let out a miserable howl in pain, roared and rolled twice, and struggled in the water to escape to the bottom of the sea.
But how could Hades let it escape easily.
The metal harpoon that pierced the fish's tail was not simple, it was a sharp weapon that he bought from the system at a high price to deal with sea snakes, and a round hole was drilled in the end of the metal, connecting a rope with high toughness and sturdiness, and the other end was tied to his own boat.
At this time, a boat and a snake were connected together by a rope, although the sea snake was strong, but after a few days of fighting, it was already seriously injured because of the blow from the tail, and it no longer had the strength to drive a ship to the bottom of the sea, so it could only pull the boat to swim frantically on the sea in an attempt to break free from the harpoon and rope.
Hades took advantage of the victory, and without saving any more equipment, all the metal spears on the ship took off in unison, and shot desperately towards the bottom of the water.
Like throwing knives, the spears cut through the sea, leaving deep ravines in the water, and finally all landed on the huge body of the sea serpent, piercing the skin and burrowing into the flesh.
The sea serpent rolled violently in the water, blood gushing out of the wound, staining its body red, and finally, with a violent convulsion, it stopped struggling.
"Whoa! ——! ”
Hades stood on the deck, gasping for air, his face beaming with excitement.
"Did it work?"
This is the first battle in the real sense since he came to this world, and the opponent he faced was still a terrifying sea snake with a diameter of one meter and a length of thirty meters.
With the killing of the sea serpent, the panel of the system's [basic information] once again turned a terrifying blood color, just like the last time he killed the pirate, and a wisp of gray aura in the air seeped into his body, and even he didn't notice it.
The joy of victory constantly stimulated his nerves, but instead of losing his composure, he jumped into the water, took the long knife he had exchanged for 6 figures from the system, swam to its head and stabbed it several times to prevent it from feigning death.
After confirming the death of the sea snake, Hades returned to the ship first, obviously it was a hard fight, but for some reason he didn't feel any fatigue, and even more energy than he was before the battle, he only felt that now there was another sea snake, and he was still able to deal with it.
This anomaly reminded him of his previous encounter with pirates, could it be ......
Hades couldn't wait to open the system, and as expected, the parameter in the upper right corner was no longer displayed as "1".
But......
[Soul: 3]
It's up!
It's really gone up!
As early as the first day when Hades went to sea to fish, he thought about this question, if killing people can accumulate soul points, then can killing other creatures also accumulate them?
But he caught fish several times in a row, except for the state of being refreshed and deaf after catching each fish, the soul number in the upper right corner of the system never moved.
Who would have thought that this sea snake would actually give him two points.
