Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 7: Distress
Although the underwater visibility is not high, the terrain is complex and water and grass are all over it, fish hiding here are difficult to be spotted by predators, but in the micro-recognition of the data-based field of vision, the group of spiked devil fish still have nowhere to hide.
row of rows of data, marked in the field of view, after removing the useless information such as sea temperature, brightness, sea water velocity, etc.
In the data field of view, not only the position of each devil fish is marked, but their outline is projected on the retina.
Without rushing to alarm these big fishes, Ivan quietly returned to the surface. Slowly tread the water under your feet, adjust the position of the raft gently, and move to just above the center of the devil fish school.
took a light breath, pushed four or five big rocks on the raft into the sea, then quickly took out a long thick iron sheet and an iron rod from the backpack, and Ivan followed the rocks. Slide back into the water.
Underwater.
At the moment I entered the water, he held the iron piece in one hand and the iron rod in the other, knocking them together with all his strength. The falling speed of rocks in the water is much slower than in the air, while the propagation speed of sound waves in the water is much faster than in the air.
"Ding Dong, Ding Dong, Ding Dong..."
Almost at the same time, a huge noise and rocks fell on the heads of this group of devil fish.
was shocked by the sudden "attack", coincidentally, the spikes behind the tails of a group of cowardly devil fish instantly turned red, and they shot up high and violently.
After the fins stirred the ocean current and stirred up a large piece of sand on the bottom of the sea, the school of devil fish instantly disappeared without a trace.
Ivan floated on the surface of the sea. After the sand and dust settled down, he dived into the bottom of the sea again. Sure enough, he found three or four red spikes lying quietly on the bottom of the sea. As for the others, I don't know where they were launched.
is done!
Ivan was overjoyed. I was just thinking of giving it a try. I didn't expect this clumsy strategy to really fool them.
started directly, without any accident, harvested two long and two short four red spikes.
As an auxiliary material for the preparation of medicaments, although the amount of this kind of spikes is small, it is irreplaceable. With these gains now, there is no need to consider the issue of out-of-stocks in the next few years.
"Anyway, I went out to the sea. By the way, I collected the other materials needed by the Black Sea Pharmacy. Basically, the raw materials of the Black Sea Pharmacy can be found in the Black Sea waters. I hope I can still gain something today."
Since there was no shop in the morning, Ivan decided to spend it here today. Strive to find all the parts of the medicine formula that are so weird that they are almost impossible to buy in pharmacies.
So Ivan began to repeat the process of diving-watching-returning-changing places-diving again. I have to say that Leopold’s sea area is rich in biological resources. By the afternoon, the six-pointed blue starfish, three unique seaweeds, and black thread sea urchins were all found.
and the last remaining main material is...shark teeth.
Ivan didn’t see it this time. Well, I don’t want to see it in the sea anyway, especially when I was alone on the raft...
Because in Leopold’s sea, sharks are caught by fishing boats from time to time, so just go to the pier and wait. Even if there is no fresh one, you can find it directly at a nearby place where the fish is processed and discarded.
The collection task is almost complete.
It’s just beyond Ivan’s expectation that there were a lot of "unexpected joys" in the process of collecting the raw materials, such as beautiful shells, rusty copper keys from unknown sources, and a small fiery red coral. I even harvested a few pearls that were not very good in appearance.
Although it is not worth much, it gives him a different sense of satisfaction. In his interest, Ivan has already turned the journey of picking herbs into a journey of treasure hunting.
kept searching, unknowingly, Ivan was already far away from the first piece of water, and the color of the sea gradually deepened.
"Huh!"
got out of the water without any gain, and glanced at the slanting sun, Ivan decided to dive for the last time, returning directly regardless of whether he had gained or not.
Year-round exercises in the knight's breathing method have allowed Aiwen to hold his breath underwater for much longer than ordinary people, and the diving depth is much deeper. Allow him to go to places impossible for ordinary fishermen to reach.
deliberately tested his limits, holding a rock, Ivan walked down the ever-extending seabed. It didn't stop until the field of view gradually became restricted, and only when the data field of view was able to barely see things.
Extraordinary power can't allow Ivan to stay underwater for a long time, so he should hurry to search for possible "treasures".
Looking around, even though it is hard to see the sun here, in addition to the reefs and gravel on the seabed, there are still marine fish and crustaceans of various colors and shapes roaming among the reefs. The extraordinary world obviously creates a tenacious life that matches it.
"What is that?"
Soon, under the guidance of the digitized vision, Ivan found a shell in the crack of the reef, a shell larger than a pumpkin.
The shell is covered with various parasites, and it is almost integrated with the reef next to it. If it weren't for the help of the digital vision, Ivan would not be able to find it even if he passed by.
took the dagger tied to the calf in his hand, inserted it through the gap in the shell, and pryed it hard. A soft pearly light flowed out, one, two, three... a large, two small, a total of three large black pearls were picked out by the dagger.
Although Ivan is not familiar with jewelry of this era, he still has basic common sense. Even according to the lowest expected estimate, these three excellent black pearls are worth at least one hundred golden lions.
According to the prices of this period, a six-year-old military horse at its peak is worth only a hundred golden lions. For a knight, a sturdy military horse has more face than owning a mid-to-high-end sedan in his previous life.
Taking the income of ordinary people as an example, an aristocratic attendant who is considered a high-income group, usually one month’s wages, which is three silver bulls, can be converted into a golden lion.
One can imagine what a fortune this is.
Resting on the joy in his heart, Ivan carefully put the harvest into the small waist pocket, throwing away the stone, and then resurfacing.
Some forgetful Aiwen apparently forgot that he was on the bottom of the perilous sea, rather than a well-serviced jewelry store.
's upward momentum was stopped by the sudden tight ankle.
Aiwen thought he was entangled in seaweed, but he tried hard but didn't break free, and he shook his heart.
Gulu, Gulu...
Aiwen looked back, and almost vented the anger in his mouth in amazement.
A huge octopus with a body color like a reddish-brown reef has lurked next to Ivan at some unknown time, and it is a thick arm and foot that is more than three meters in length that entangles his ankle.
Sudden changes, Aiwen did not struggle like ordinary people in vain. The training he received from childhood told him that if he faced an enemy stronger than himself, if he panicked before fighting, the ending would be doomed. This was the case when facing the ferocious bobcat, and it was the same when facing the big octopus today.
The big octopus is obviously impatient. After entangled the prey, the other arms and legs clung to the reef, slowly dragging Ivan down, as if he was going to be dragged into the deep sea to enjoy a big meal immediately after drowning.
At a critical moment, the ways to get out came out of my mind and were quickly rejected.
But no matter how fast the thoughts are in his mind, it is not fast enough to temper a trainee knight who has formed a combat instinct~ IndoMTL.com~ Driven by a strong survival instinct, Ivan did not resist the drag of the big octopus, instead relying on it. The force kicked the reef downward.
Because he knew that he would never be able to get past this cunning predator on the bottom of the sea, and the only way to survive is to kill it! It's just a huge ordinary marine creature, and it's not a ferocious animal. It's not always clear who will die.
Although the big octopus is very smart, I can’t guess what Ivan’s mind is thinking. When he sees him actively swimming over, the remaining tentacles are all opened, just waiting for the prey to be delivered to his mouth, and then feast on it. .
took advantage of the recoil, and Ivan, who was very close to the big octopus, had already seen the terrible beak-like mouthparts in its tentacles. He didn't dare to hesitate anymore, his strong and powerful legs swayed, and his body accelerated again. .
Before the big octopus's open tentacles could react, Ivan had already attached it to its forehead, and looked at each other with the yellow eyes of two fists at close range.
The suction cups on the arms and feet and the pigment patches under the skin are clearly visible.
grinned, the dagger in Aiwen's hand has been sent between the eyes of the big octopus without hesitation, and it is also the location of its nerve center.
嘤——
Regardless of the big octopus dying behind him, constantly waving its tentacles, Ivan rushed towards the water. If he waited another half a minute, he didn't need the big octopus to eat him, he would have to drown on the bottom of the sea.
rushed out of the water and climbed onto the raft. Ivan didn't forget to pack all of his harvest carefully, picking up the oars and fleeing quickly towards the beach.
Ocean is too dangerous for me now, and it's almost fatal to leave the shallow beach a little bit. But Aiwen firmly believes that one day he can conquer this vast black sea and even explore the more magnificent and fantastic scenery in the distance!
