Chapter 84: The King of Sea Fishing and the "Big Fish"

Anling Island is located in the southeast of the Shuoming Dynasty, unlike other islands between the less than half a day, more than one or two days of sailing time, this island from the nearest Shuoming Dynasty islands have nearly 3 days of voyage, this is also the speed of the steamship, for the sail power of the ship, it is normal to have an extra two or three days.

In order to meet the agreed deadline, the Tide Stream began its voyage as soon as it completed its resupply on Blowing Sand Island.

Two days later, sail into the vast sea between Anrei Island and other surrounding islands.

To some extent, this area can be said to be out of the village, so it is important to make sure that the boats are in good condition.

Fortunately, there is now a professional craftsman on the Tidal Current.

"The equipment in the steam room is in good condition, but some of the parts should be old models...... Captain, did you lower the price of the ship when you bought it before?"

Fu Ju, who had just stepped out of the cabin and onto the deck, took off his gloves, and followed behind him the tan sand iron golem that had already completed most of the time, its weapon part had not yet been assembled, but under Fu Ju's control, some auxiliary work could already be completed.

Su Sheng, Fu Ju's extraordinary ability.

It can actually make her give mechanical life to life in a short period of time through contact!

This ability is simply perverted in Lu Jing's opinion, and he has even thought about what this ability will develop into in the end.

Transformers to get a look?

Because of this, Lu Jing once wanted Fu Ju to rename his ability "Tinder", but the latter decisively refused on the grounds that it was too strange.

"Didn't I have no money at that time, when I first went to sea, I had so much money around me, I wanted to buy this kind of boat, how could I do it without pressing the price, you disposed of all those parts?"

Lu Jing held a deep-sea fish illustrated book stuffed with a pencil in his armpit, carried a special fishing rod bought for 6 silver dollars on his shoulder, and a glass hanging on the buoy behind him, and raised his hand to point to the oil stain on the left side of Fu Ju's face.

"Today, Did You Fish?"

This is the name of the illustrated book, which Lu Jing bought while wandering around the fishing rod shop on Blowing Sand Island, and it contains an illustrated book of various marine fish.

Lately, he has to circle the name of each one he catches.

Today's Lu Jing is still on the road to becoming the king of sea fishing.

"I've replaced them all with new ones, and we've bought a lot of spare parts on Blowing Sand Island, which will come in handy, and I'll check the whale oil engine later and fill up the whale fuel tank by the way. ”

Strictly speaking, Fu Ju doesn't have much research on ships, but her level is there, she can understand many drawings of machinery and equipment as long as she looks at them, and it is not too easy to change some parts or something, and she has even recently begun to study books on ship construction, and plans to send the Tide to the shipyard to change it when she arrives on Anling Island.

Relying on his actions in the recent period, Lu Jing has made a lot of money, and the cash alone has exceeded 60 gold leaves, compared to the 6 gold leaf ships are now a little unworthy of them.

"The enthusiasm is high, yes, to keep it up, but I suggest that you can actually go and help Xu Chu move the utensils for lunch later, he is probably too busy alone, and I have to catch a manatee fish and eat it later." ”

Manatee fish is closer to beef in quality, but it has a seafood flavor in itself, making it a perfect staple for hot pot.

After speaking, Lu Jing turned around, and the glaze, which had been integrated with the colored buoy on the fishing rod, almost hit Fu Ju's head, and the latter glanced at the glaze with four legs kicking around, and reluctantly turned around to find Xu Xu, who was moving the dining table from the cabin.

The kitchen on the Tide is very ordinary, after all, Lu Jing and Xu Chu are actually not very good at cooking, so when the weather is clear, they prefer to eat some meals that do not require much skill and pay more attention to ingredients, such as hot pot, seafood soup, etc., as long as the things are good enough, the taste will not be bad.

Fu Ju can only say ...... Count her in!

There is no way, most of her energy is invested in craftsmanship skills, and her cooking skills are two Lu Jing worse than Xu Zhubi, and she is an apron from the kitchen killer.

It's just that before Fu Ju walked into the kitchen, he heard Lu Jing's shout on the deck again, and hurriedly ran over with Xu Ju who came out of the kitchen.

"Look at the sea over there, is it snowing?"

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Lu Jing pointed to a place about two kilometers away on the sailing route of the Tide and said in a loud voice.

There was a large dark cloud over the area where Lu Jing was pointing, and there was a white expanse below, where it was snowing, and the scale was huge!

"It's not even September now, so how can it snow...... It's a sunny day. ”

Fu Ju looked up at the sun in the sky, not to mention the dark clouds in the sky above the location of the tide, there were not a few white clouds, and there were blue skies.

"The weather on the boundless sea is changeable, not to mention snow, and some islands have four seasons changing in a day, but they are all anomalies in a special environment, and that sea area doesn't look like anything, you wait here, I'll go get a telescope." ”

Xu Chu looked at it for a while, turned his head and ran to the wheelhouse, and after a while, he took three binoculars out.

"It's really snow...... Is it my delusion, why do I feel like the snow clouds are constantly moving towards us, and where is the Tide going?"

Through the telescopic lens, Lu Jing stared at the snowy sea area for a while, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the distance between it and the Tide was constantly being narrowed.

"No, the speed of the Tide is not so fast, it should be that snow cloud leaning towards us, or let's avoid it, otherwise the whole deck will be covered with snowflakes later, and then it will be easy to get water stains everywhere, not to mention lunch, it will take a lot of effort to clean up." ”

"Getting wet on the deck is a trivial matter, this scale is already called a blizzard, the temperature will drop sharply when you get closer, don't forget that it's a sunny day, and the ship's machines are likely to malfunction due to the sudden change in temperature, so you have to avoid it!"

Taking over Xu Ju's words, Fu Ju was obviously concerned about other aspects, and as an expert in machinery, her words immediately made the other two vigilant.

The current position of the Tidestream, once there is a problem, Lu Jing can only choose to return to the rear island to rest, so that the agreement with Gorman will definitely not be completed, regardless of anything else.

This is absolutely not a no-go!

"Change course, go around it. ”

Lu Jing quickly made a decision and ran into the wheelhouse as soon as possible.

The other two also started to act immediately, Xu Chu walked quickly to the mainmast to collect the sails, and Fu Ju climbed down from the control room as soon as possible, turned on the whale oil engines on both sides of the boat, and prepared to force a turn.

The three of them worked together, and the improvement of efficiency was undoubted, and with a muffled sound of "rumbling~", the tide flow successfully completed the turn.

Fortunately, although the snow is extremely large, the scale of the snow cloud is only average, and the distance of about two kilometers is enough for the Tide to complete the avoidance.

Lu Jing was controlling the direction in the wheelhouse, but Fu Ju, who had finished operating the whale oil engine on the deck, suddenly ran over, with a look of surprise on his face

"Captain, there's something under that snowy cloud...... I can't say either, you can see for yourself. ”

"What the hell. ”

With a muttering sentence in his mouth, Lu Jing motioned for Xu Chu, who also walked outside the helm room, to take over for the time being, while he grabbed the telescope and returned to the front of the deck.

At this time, the distance between the Tide and the snow clouds was only less than five hundred meters, and although the evasion was successfully completed, Lu Jing could still clearly feel the cold wind and snow over there and the cold air blowing on his face, not to mention the catastrophic scene in his field of vision, and he couldn't help but be glad that he had just followed Fu Ju's advice.

"Look at the sea in front of you on the left. ”

Fu Ju pointed the direction beside him, and Lu Jing turned the camera and stared there for a while.

As Fu Ju said, Lu Jing soon found that the sea over there was obviously a cut higher than the surrounding area, and at first glance it might be regarded as a wave set off by a strong wind, but the tide did not subside at all, not only that, but even some dark purple things could be faintly seen during it, but because the tide was too urgent, many times it was just a glimpse, and it was difficult to see the whole picture.

Leaning on the side of the boat and trying for a while, Lu Jing turned around and ran to the lookout on the Tide, and climbed up the rope ladder to the heights.

This time, Lu Jing finally saw the scene over there, and the next second he was stunned on the spot.

He could clearly see a large purple-black shadow in the sea below the snow clouds, and it was definitely not a matter of light.

The area it protrudes from the sea alone is tens of square meters, and this may only be a small part of it...... Giant Sea Beasts!

Lu Jing understood at this time that the reason for the snow cloud in front of him was not because of the changeable climate of the Boundless Sea, but because of the giant sea beast below, in other words, the giant sea beast that could create a blizzard of this scale was not an existence that they could compete with at all!

"There is a giant sea beast in front of you, Xu Xu, deflect the direction as much as possible, the farther away from that snow cloud, the better, Fu Ju, immediately turn off the whale oil engine, the noise when it is operating is likely to attract the attention of the other party. ”

Taking out the transonic conch hanging from his waist, Lu Jing was quite anxious to inform the other two people on the boat.

With the shutdown of the machine, the Tide Stream quickly fell silent, undulating in the surging tide, and Lu Jing stared at the area where the snow cloud was located, for fear that the monster would suddenly be in high spirits and come to a "water splash" and directly lift their small boat.

"Captain, did you hear any strange noises?"

After waiting for a while, Fu Ju's voice sounded in the conch of sound.

"Voice?"

Lu Jing put down the binoculars, stayed in the lookout and listened quietly for a while, picked up the conch again and was about to reply, but the next second he heard a strange tone from afar.

Even in the midst of the rapid waves, the sound is still penetrating and difficult to ignore.

Somehow, Lu Jing still vaguely heard panic and grievances in it.
