Chapter 84 The Fishing King and the Big Fish

Anling Island is located in the southeast of the Shuo Ming Dynasty. Unlike other islands, which are as long as half a day or as long as one or two days, this vassal island has a nearly 3-day voyage from the nearest island under the Shuo Ming Dynasty. This is still the speed of a steamboat. If it is a sail-powered ship, it is normal to have two or three more days.

In order to catch up with the agreed deadline, Xiliuhao immediately started the voyage after completing the supply on the Shasha Island.

Two days later, you will enter the vast sea between Anling Island and other surrounding islands.

To some extent, this area can be said to be without a village in front and without a shop in the back, so ensuring that the ship is in good condition has become the most important thing.

Fortunately, there is a professional craftsman on Xiliu.

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

Fu Ju, who had just walked onto the deck from the cabin, took off his gloves and followed behind him with half of the tan sand iron golem. His weapon part has not been assembled yet, but under Fu Ju's control, some auxiliary work can be completed.

Su Sheng and Fu Ju's extraordinary abilities.

It can actually allow her to give mechanical vitality in a short time through contact!

This ability seemed to Lu Jing as a pervert. He had even thought about what this ability would eventually develop into.

Let's learn about Transformers?

It is precisely because of this that Lu Jing once wanted Fu Ju to rename his ability to "fire seed", but the latter decisively rejected it on the grounds that it was too strange.

"I didn't have money at that time. When I first went to sea, I only had that little money around me. If I wanted to buy such a boat, how could I not pay the price? Have you dealt with all the parts?"

Lu Jing had a deep-sea fish illustration with a pencil stuffed into his armpit. He carried a special fishing rod that he had bought for 6 silver dollars on his shoulders. There was also a glass hanging on the float behind him. He raised his hand and pointed at the oil stains on Fu Ju's left face.

"Did you catch today?"

This is the name of the picture book. Lu Jing bought it while wandering in the fishing rod shop on Chusha Island. It contains picture book of various sea fish.

Recently, every time he catches a fish, he will circle the name on it.

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

"I replaced them all with new ones. We bought a lot of spare parts on the Blowing Sand Island, which came in handy. I will check the whale oil engine later and fill the whale oil tank inside."

Strictly speaking, Fu Ju doesn't have much research on ships, but her level is there. She can integrate many mechanical equipment drawings with just a look. It's not too easy to change parts and other things. I have even started to study books on ship construction recently, and planned to send Xiliu to the shipyard to make a major change when I arrived at Anling Island.

Relying on recent actions, Lu Jing has made a lot of money, and the cash alone has exceeded 60 gold leaves. Compared with the 6 gold leaves ships, it is not worthy of them now.

"He is very enthusiastic, good, I need to keep it going, but I suggest you can actually help Xu Zhu move the tableware you need for lunch later. He probably won't be able to do it alone, and I have to catch a cowfish quickly and eat it later."

The meat quality of manatee fish is closer to beef, but it has a seafood flavor. The staple food used for hot pot is simply perfect.

After saying that, Lu Jing turned around and Liuli, which had been connected to the colorful float on the fishing rod, almost hit Fu Ju's head. The latter looked at Liuli, who was kicking around with four legs, and had no choice but to turn around to find Xu Zhuo, who was moving out of the dining table from the cabin.

The kitchen on Xiliuhao is very ordinary. After all, Lu Jing and Xu Zhuo are not very good at cooking, so in clear weather they prefer to eat some meals that do not require much technology and pay more attention to ingredients, such as hot pot, seafood soup, etc. As long as the food is good enough, the taste will not be bad.

Fu Ju can only say that... she is the only one!

There is no way, most of her energy is devoted to craftsmanship, and her cooking skills are two inferior to Xu Zhuo, and she is just an apron from the kitchen killer.

But before Fu Ju walked into the kitchen, he heard Lu Jing's shouting on the deck, and hurriedly ran over with Xu Zhuo who came out of the kitchen.

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

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Lu Jing pointed to a place about two kilometers away on the Xiliu navigation route and said loudly.

A large area of ​​dark clouds were accumulated over the area where Lu Jing pointed, and there was a vast white area below. It was snowing there, and it was extremely large in scale!

"It's not even September, why does it snow...it's a sunny day."

Fu Ju looked up at the sun in the sky. Not to mention dark clouds, there were so many white clouds above the Xiliu area, but there were all blue sky.

"The weather on the vast sea is changing. Not to mention snow, some islands change four seasons within a day, but they are all abnormal phenomena in special environments. The sea doesn't look like something. You are waiting here, I'll get a telescope."

Xu Zhuo looked for a while, turned his head and ran to the throne room, and soon took out three telescopes.

"It's indeed snow... is it my illusion? Why do I feel that the snow cloud is constantly leaning towards us, and where is the Xiliu number going?"

Through the telescope, Lu Jing stared at the snowy sea for a while, and the more he looked, the more he felt that the distance between it and Xiliu was constantly being drawn closer.

"No, the speed of Xiliu is not that fast. It should be that snow cloud is leaning towards us. Otherwise, we will avoid it. Otherwise, the entire deck will be covered with snowflakes later, and it will be easy to get water stains everywhere when it melts. Not to mention lunch, it will take a lot of effort to clean it."

"It is a small matter to get wet on the deck. This scale can be called a blizzard. The temperature will drop sharply when approaching. Don't forget that it's a sunny day. The machines on the ship may malfunction due to the drastic changes in temperature. You must avoid it!"

After taking Xu Zhuo's words, Fu Ju was obviously concerned about other aspects. As an expert in machinery, her words immediately made the other two people alert.

When Xiliu No. is in the current position, if something goes wrong, Lu Jing can only choose to return to the island behind for rest. In this way, the agreement with Gorman will definitely not be completed regardless of the others.

This definitely won't work!

“Change the course and bypass it.”

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

The other two also started to act immediately. Xu Zhu quickly walked towards the main mast to retract the sail, and Fu Ju climbed down the control room as soon as possible, opened the whale oil engines on both sides of the ship, and prepared to force the steering.

The three of them divided the work and cooperated, and the efficiency improvement was undoubtedly improved. With a muffled "rumble~" sound, Xiliu completed the turn smoothly.

Fortunately, although the snow is extremely strong, the scale of the snow clouds is only average, with a distance of about two kilometers, which is enough for Xiliu to complete the avoidance.

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

"Captain, there is something under the snow cloud...I can't say it well, you can see it yourself."

"That's a hell."

He murmured, and Lu Jing signaled Xu Zhu, who also walked outside the helm, to take over temporarily, while he grabbed the telescope and returned to the front of the deck.

At this time, the distance between Xiliu and Xueyun was less than 500 meters. Although the avoidance was successfully completed, Lu Jing could still clearly feel the bitter snow and the cold air over there, not to mention the scene in his sight that was a disaster. He couldn't help but feel fortunate to follow Fu Ju's advice just now.

"Look at the sea in front of the left."

Fu Ju pointed the direction next to him, Lu Jing turned the camera and stared at it for a while.

As Fu Ju said, Lu Jing soon discovered that the sea surface there was obviously higher than the surrounding area. At first glance, it might be regarded as a wave caused by the strong wind, but the tide did not fade. Not only that, you could even vaguely see some dark purple things during this period. It was just because the wave was too fast, and it was often just a glance, making it difficult to see the whole picture clearly.

After leaning against the side of the boat for a while, Lu Jing turned around and ran to the lookout on the Xiliu, and climbed up to a high place along the rope ladder.

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

He clearly saw a huge purple-black shadow in the sea water below the snow clouds, which was definitely not a matter of light.

The area it highlights on the sea surface alone is at least dozens of square meters, and this may be just a small part of it...the giant sea beast!

At this time, Lu Jing understood the origin of the snow cloud ahead. It was not because of the changing climate of the vast sea, but because of the giant sea beasts below. In other words, the giant sea beasts that can create such a blizzard are not something they can compete with!

"There is a giant sea beast ahead. Xu Zhuo, deflect as far as possible, the better the snow cloud. Fu Ju, turn off the whale oil engine immediately. The noise during its operation may attract the other party's attention."

Taking out the sound transmission conch hanging around his waist, Lu Jing eagerly notified the other two on the ship.

As the machine was shut down, the Xiliu quickly fell into silence, rising and falling in the surging sea tide. Lu Jing stared at the area where the snow clouds were, for fear that the monster would suddenly be in high spirits, and the last time it "splashed water" was launched, directly slitting their small boat.

"Captain, have you heard any strange sound?"

After waiting for a while, Fu Ju's voice rang out among the conch.

"sound?"

Lu Jing put down his telescope, stayed in the observation deck and listened for a while, picked up the conch again and was about to reply, but the next second he heard a strange tone coming from afar.

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