Chapter 496: The Great Horseshoe Crab Demon (5)
"Elder Hui, several of my subordinates have become local fisherwomen and have infiltrated the city. They reported that the defenders had been greatly weakened. In addition to the consumption with us, there are losses elsewhere. They also assassinated an adjutant general and three adjutants. Hua Ning said, "It stands to reason that soon the defenders will not be able to defend it, and Sea Crab Island will become the world of our alliance." ”
"If you can really get Sea Crab Island, no matter what you bring back to Donghua, it will be a huge fortune. The weapons and equipment of the defenders and their coffers alone are enough to make us a lot of money. Wu Shixin thought of a bright future.
"But, there's one thing. It's ridiculous, I don't believe it, but I'll report it to the elders. Hua Ningyu's round face showed a hint of ridicule, "Before that lieutenant died, it was ridiculous that they actually said that they had received the oracle, the guardian god of Sea Crab Island, the Wujia Divine Man would send divine soldiers to help them." ”
Wu Shixin didn't smile, but the look on his face became more solemn.
Hua Ningyu was stunned.
......
With a huge amount of money, Liang Xiaohuai became active, and soon helped Jin Yan buy a relatively solid boat that was already ownerless, and gathered two fairly complete thick rope barbed fishing nets, four fishermen used to hunt and kill big fish, plus all kinds of ropes. Anyway, these things are also discarded in the ships in the port, so they can be used for a while.
In particular, the four shuttle guns, which were longer than half a boat, and the tips of the guns were sharp fine iron.
Jin Yan and the three of them are preparing to trap and kill the big horseshoe crab demon. To trap a big fish, you need bait. Judging from the current situation, the big horseshoe crab demon likes to eat the flesh and blood of human corpses. But it was certainly impossible for them to trap it with a human corpse, even if it was the corpse of a defender who died under Jin Yan's hands. You can kill them, but you can't leave them without a place to bury, it's inhumane.
Even if all the means are taken, the big horseshoe crab demon can't guarantee that he can eat the flesh and blood of human corpses at all times, with its size and appetite, most of the time, the food should still be the big fish in the sea. When it is hungry, it usually kills the first big fish, and it is a live fish.
For this reason, Jin Yan turned into an ordinary fisherman, spent several days on the seaside, relied on his sensitive hearing to catch the movements of the big fish underwater, listened to the tide of the fish, and finally caught two big fish of fifty or sixty catties, and did not dare to let them die, so he hurriedly put them in the living water tank on the fishing boat and raised them with live water.
Even though the fighting continued in the city, more than 40,000 people still had to live, and the fishing boats did not stop fishing. The people take food as the sky, and ordinary people don't care who fights whom, who wins and who loses, what they care about the most is that they can't go hungry.
In addition, you have to make various preparations for your own going to sea. Food, water, utensils, etc. After making these preparations, Jin Yan untied the cable, jumped on the boat, and prepared to set sail.
Unexpectedly, the wanderer and Liang Xiaohuai brought a lot of supplies, and they also jumped up one after another.
"You ...... this"
"We're going with you!" Liang Xiaohuai finally said firmly, "Since I am sure that it is a big fish and not a monster, then I have a lot of confidence in my heart!" I've hunted a lot of big fish in previous years, whether it's driving a boat or killing fish, I can help you! ”
"I won't say more, I've fought that big guy." The wanderer is concise and to the point.
"Good! That's great! With two more companions, Jin Yan felt more confident in his heart, "In this case, let's have a division of labor first, Brother Liang, you just drive the boat and kill the big horseshoe crab demon, and I will do it." Jin Yan said, "If your life is in danger, you can go first, don't worry about me, and I will do everything I can to help you escape." ”
"You two little friends have such courage, and I am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death." The wanderer said, "When we meet that big guy, we will work together to kill it, even if we die in its mouth, it will be a good thing!" ”
He pointed to a huge burden on his back: "I have caught that fishing net, this time let's see if the big guy can escape from this net!" ”
The three of them put their things together on the boat. Under Liang Xiaohuai's control, the fishing boat slowly sailed out of the port. Since they were all dressed as fishermen, and fishing boats were also fishing boats, they were not hindered by the rest of the fishing boats leaving the fishing port one after another.
The eyes of both sides of the war were focused on the street fighting in the city and the attack and defense of the "Wangfu Stone", and there was no time to care about these fishermen who went to sea to fish.
The weather was not bad on this day, the sun was shining, the sky was cloudless, and the sea was calm.
After sailing three or four miles out of the port, the fishing boat abruptly left the area where the other fishing boats were operating and headed south.
"That ship is crazy, why is it sailing south? Further south, where the big horseshoe crab demon is! The rest of the fishermen were shocked.
"Strange to say, a few people on the boat looked at the ...... of the fishermen, "I don't think I've ever seen them before......"
"It can't be from another world, right?" A fisherman was worried, "The defenders have been catching invaders everywhere these days...... My house has been searched three times......"
Continue sailing south.
Jin Yan took an empty bamboo pole and placed one end in the water and the other end to his ear. His ears are amazing, not only can he hear distant sounds in the air clearly, but also in the water.
Because there are much fewer disturbances in the water than in the air. Moreover, the propagation of sound in the water, much faster and more sensitive.
"Straight ahead, small fish, four."
"South to West, shrimp, a flock."
"West, turtles, one."
"Right front, with fish, three."
"A small group of fish directly below."
"It's a small fish again, a school of fish."
"About six zhang in the lower right part, there are several medium-sized fish, three feet long."
......
Along the way, Jin Yan kept whispering to Liang Xiaohuai about the situation under the sea that he had heard.
The two wanderers were amazed by this, but they had a lot of confidence in this hunting trip.
The fishing boat continued on until it was nearly twenty miles away from the port. They saw an empty ship, very tattered and bloodstained, apparently vandalized.
"This appearance seems to be the masterpiece of the Great Horseshoe Crab Demon." Jin Yan said.
"But here, this is not the territory of the Great Horseshoe Crab Demon." Liang Xiaohuai said.
"Don't be superstitious about Hou Ruzheng's rhetoric!" The wanderer said hatefully, "It's normal for this big horseshoe crab demon to leave his territory to forage for food as he pleases, how can he always be confined to his territory?" ”
"Be careful! I guess the big horseshoe crab is nearby! Jin Yan listened more attentively to the underwater movements, "That's right, in the southeast about ten zhang underwater, there is a big guy who is constantly following us, and it is slowly approaching!" ”
