Extraordinary Sailing

Chapter 7 Distress

Although the underwater visibility is not high, the landform is complex and aquatic plants are everywhere, and it is difficult for predators to find fish hiding here, but in the microscopic identification of the digital vision, this group of spiky devil fish still has nowhere to hide.

Rows of data and labels slide across the field of vision, after removing useless information such as seawater temperature, brightness, seawater velocity, etc.

The digital vision not only marked the location of each stingray, but also projected their outlines on the retina.

Without disturbing these big fish rashly, Ivan quietly returned to the water. Slowly step on the water with your feet, adjust the position of the raft gently, and move it directly above the center of the manta ray school.

Taking a light breath, he pushed the four or five large rocks on the raft into the sea, and then quickly took out a long, thick iron piece and an iron rod from his backpack, and Ivan followed the rocks and slid in again. water.

underwater.

The moment Aiwen entered the water, he held the iron sheet in one hand and clenched the iron rod in the other, and beat them together with all his strength. Stones fall much slower in water than in air, and sound waves travel much faster in water than in air.

"jingle, jingle, jingle"

Almost at the same time, a huge noise and stones fell on the heads of this group of devil fish.

Shocked by the sudden "attack", at the same time, a group of cowardly devil fish tail spikes turned red instantly, raised high and shot out violently.

After the fish fins stirred up the sea current and stirred up a large cloud of sand and dust on the bottom of the sea, the school of devil fish disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Aiwen floated on the surface of the sea, and after the sand and dust had completely settled, he dived back into the bottom of the sea. Sure enough, he found three or four red spikes lying quietly on the bottom of the sea. As for the other ones, I don't know where they were launched.

It's done!

Aiwen was overjoyed, originally he just had the idea of ​​giving it a try, but he didn't expect this clumsy strategy to really deceive them.

Do it directly, and harvest two long, two short, and four red spikes without any accidents.

As an auxiliary material for preparing medicines, although the amount of this spike is not much, it is irreplaceable. With these gains now, there will be no need to worry about shortages in the next few years.

"Anyway, I went out to sea once, so let's collect other materials needed for the Black Sea Potion. The raw materials for the Black Sea Potion can basically be found in the waters of the Black Sea. I hope I can gain something today."

Since the store didn't open in the morning, Ai Wen decided to spend it here today. Try to be able to find all the strange and weird parts of the medicine formula that are basically impossible to buy in the pharmacy.

So Aiwen began to repeat the process of diving-waiting-watching-returning-changing places-diving again. It must be said that the sea area of ​​Leopold is rich in biological resources. By the afternoon, hexagonal blue starfish, three kinds of unique seaweeds, and black-lined sea urchins were found one by one.

The last remaining main material is the shark's teeth.

Ivan didn't see it this time, well, I don't want to see it in the sea anyway, especially when I'm alone on a raft

Because in the waters of Leopold, sharks are caught by fishing boats from time to time, so just go to the pier and wait. Even if you don’t have fresh ones, you can find them in the nearby places where the fish are processed and discarded, but the effect is not good.

The collection task is largely completed.

It was just beyond Aiwen's expectation that there were many "surprise surprises" in the process of collecting raw materials, such as beautiful shells, someone's rusted copper key, and a small fiery red coral. Not very good pearls were harvested a few.

Although it was not worth much money, it gave him a different kind of satisfaction. Enthusiastic, Aiwen has already turned the journey of collecting herbs into a journey of treasure hunting.

Constantly searching, unknowingly, Aiwen has moved away from the initial water area, and the color of the sea water has quietly deepened.

"call!"

After getting out of the water without gaining any results, Ai Wen decided to dive for the last time after glancing at the slanting sun, and return directly regardless of whether he got any gains or not.

Years of knightly breathing exercise allowed Aiwen to hold his breath underwater for a much longer time than ordinary people, and his diving depth was much deeper. It allows him to go to places that ordinary fishermen cannot reach.

Determined to test his limits, holding a stone, Aiwen walked all the way down the ever-extending seabed. It wasn't until the field of vision was gradually limited that it was only possible to barely see things by relying on the digital field of vision.

Extraordinary power can't make Aiwen stay at the bottom of the water for a long time, so hurry up to search for possible "treasures".

Looking around, even though the sun is hard to see here, besides the reefs and gravel on the seabed, there are still marine fish and crustaceans of different colors and shapes wandering among the reefs. The otherworldly world has apparently created a tenacious life to match.

"what is that?"

Soon, under the guidance of the digital vision, Aiwen found a shell from the crevice of the reef, a shell bigger 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.

He took the dagger tied to his calf, inserted it through the gap in the shell, and pried it hard. A soft pearly light flowed out, and three large black pearls, one, two, three, one, two, and small, were picked out by the dagger.

Although Aiwen is not very knowledgeable about jewelry in this era, he still has basic common sense. Even according to the lowest estimate, these three black pearls with excellent appearance are worth at least one hundred golden lions.

According to the prices of this period, a six-year-old military horse in its peak condition is worth only a hundred golden lions. A strong military horse is more honorable to a knight than owning a mid-to-high-end car in his previous life.

Taking the income of ordinary people as an example, a noble attendant who is regarded as a high-income group, usually three silver bulls a month's wages can be converted into a golden lion.

It is conceivable what a fortune this is.

Suppressing the joy in his heart, Aiwen carefully put the harvest into the small pocket on his waist, throwing away the stones would resurface the water.

The ecstatic Aiwen obviously forgot that he was in a dangerous seabed, not a well-served jewelry store.

The upward momentum was stopped by the sudden slight tightening of the ankle.

Ai Wen thought he was entangled in seaweed, but he struggled hard but couldn't break free, and his heart skipped a beat.

Gollum, Gollum

Ai Wen looked back, and almost let out all the anger in his mouth in shock.

A huge octopus with a body color like a reddish-brown reef had lurked beside Aiwen at some point, and what wrapped around his ankle was a thick arm and foot more than three meters long.

Sudden changes, Aiwen did not struggle in vain like ordinary people. The training he received since childhood told him that if he panics before fighting an enemy stronger than himself, the end will be doomed. It was the same when facing the ferocious lynx, and it was the same when facing the big octopus today.

The big octopus is obviously impatient. After entangled with the prey, the other arms and legs cling to the reef, and slowly drag Ivan down, as if to drag him to the deep sea to enjoy a big meal immediately after drowning.

At the critical moment, one by one escape method popped up in his mind and was quickly rejected.

But no matter how fast the thoughts in his mind were, it would not be as fast as the body of an apprentice knight who had been tempered and formed a fighting instinct. Driven by a strong survival instinct, Aiwen did not resist the drag of the big octopus, but instead used this force to kick off the reef and recoil downward.

Because he knew that it was impossible for him to outrun this cunning predator at the bottom of the sea, and the only possibility to survive was to kill it! It's just a huge ordinary marine creature, and it's not a ferocious animal, so it's not certain who will win.

Although the big octopus was very smart, it couldn't guess what was going on in Ivan's mind. Seeing him swimming over, the rest of the tentacles opened up, waiting for the prey to be delivered to its mouth by itself, and then feasted on it.

Taking advantage of the recoil, Aiwen, who was very close to the big octopus, had already seen the terrifying beak-like mouthparts in its tentacles. He didn't dare to hesitate any longer. He swung his strong and powerful legs vigorously, and his body accelerated again.

Before the big octopus's outstretched tentacles reacted, Ivan had already stuck to its forehead, looking closely at two fist-sized yellow eyes.

The suckers on the arms and feet and the pigmented patches under the skin are clearly visible.

The corner of his mouth was slightly raised, and the dagger in Aiwen's hand had been sent between the eyes of the big octopus without hesitation, where its nerve center was located.

Oh——

Regardless of the big octopus struggling behind him and waving its tentacles, Aiwen rushed towards the water. If he waited another half a minute, he would have to drown in the bottom of the sea without the need for a big octopus to eat him.

With a bang, he rushed out of the water and climbed onto the raft. Aiwen didn't forget to carefully pack all his gains, picked up the oars and rowed towards the beach as if fleeing.

The ocean is too dangerous for me now, and it is almost fatal to leave the shallow beach even a little bit. But Ivan firmly believes that one day he will be able to conquer this vast Black Sea, and even explore the more magnificent and fantastic scenery in the distance!
