Chapter 7 Distress

Although the underwater visibility is not high, the terrain is complex and the water plants are scattered, it is difficult for fish to hide here and be hunted However, in the microscopic identification of the data-based vision, the group of spiky manta rays are still invisible.

Lines of data and labels slide through the field of view, after removing the useless information such as seawater temperature, brightness, seawater velocity, etc.

The data field not only marked the position of each devil fish, but also projected their outlines on the retina.

Without rushing to alarm the big fish, Alwin quietly returned to the surface. Slowly tread the water under your feet, adjust the position of the raft gently, and move to the center of the stingrays.

Taking a light breath, he shoved the four or five large rocks on the raft into the sea, and then quickly took out a long thick piece of iron and an iron rod from his backpack. Alwin also Slide back into the water with the rocks.

Underwater.

The moment Alwin entered the water, he held the iron plate in one hand and the iron rod in the other, and used all his strength to knock them together. Stones fall much slower in water than in air, and sound waves travel much faster in water than in air.

“Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong”

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

Frightened by the sudden “attack”, at the same time, the spikes behind the tails of a group of timid devil fish instantly turned red, raised high and shot violently.

After the fins stirred the ocean currents and stirred up a large piece of sand and dust in the seabed, the stingrays were instantly disappeared without a trace.

Alwin floated on the sea surface and dived back into the seabed after the sand and dust had completely settled. Sure enough, he found three or four red spikes lying quietly on the seabed. As for the others, I don’t know where they were launched.

It’s done!

Alwin is overjoyed, originally just holding the idea of giving it a try, the clumsy tactic of didn’t expect really deceived them.

Direct hands, no accidental harvest of two long, two short and four red spikes.

As an auxiliary material for preparing medicines, although the amount of this spike is small, it is irreplaceable. With these gains now, there will be no need to worry about out-of-stock issues in the next few years.

“Anyway, I went out to the sea once, and by the way, I collected other materials needed for the Black Sea Pharmacy. The raw materials for the Black Sea Pharmacy can basically be found in the Black Sea Sea Territory, and I hope I can harvest something today.”

Since the shop didn’t open in the morning, Alwin decided to spend the day here. Try to find all the parts of the medicine formula that are so bizarre that it is almost impossible to buy them in pharmacies.

So Alwin began to repeat the process of diving – watching – returning – changing places – diving again. I have to say that Leopold’s Sea Territory is very rich in biological resources. By the afternoon, hexagonal blue starfish, three unique seaweeds, and black-lined sea urchins were all found one after another.

And the last remaining main material is shark teeth.

Alwin didn’t see it this time, well, I don’t want to see it in the sea anyway, especially when I was alone on a raft

Because in the Sea of Leopold Territory, from time to time sharks are caught by fishing boats, when the time comes go to the pier at High Level. Even if there are no fresh ones, you can find them by going directly to the nearby place where the fish is discarded and discarded, but the effect is less.

The collection task is largely complete.

It was just beyond Alwin’s expectations that there were many “unexpected joys” in the process of collecting raw materials, beautiful shells, rusted copper keys, and a fiery-red tree. The small corals and even pearls that are not very good have been harvested.

Although not worth much, it gave him a different kind of satisfaction. Intrigued, Alwin has turned his herb-collecting trip into a treasure hunt.

Continuously searching, unconsciously, Alwin has been far away from the original water, and the color of the sea has gradually deepened.

“Whoo!”

Crawling out of the water with no gain, and glancing at the slanted sun, Alwin decided to dive one last time, returning directly regardless of whether there was a gain or not.

The exercise of Knight’s Breathing Technique all the year round allows Alwin to hold his breath underwater much longer than the ordinary person, and the diving depth is much deeper. Allows him to go where ordinary fishermen are impossible to reach.

Careful to test his own limits, holding a rock, Alwin made his way down the ever-extending seabed. Until the field of vision is gradually limited, and only relying on the data-based field of vision can barely see the object, then stop.

The extraordinary strength can’t keep Alwin underwater for a long time, take the time to search for possible “treasure”.

As far as the eye can see, even if the sun is hard to see here, in addition to the seabed reefs and gravel, there are still sea fish and crustaceans of different colors and shapes roaming among the reefs. The extraordinary world has obviously created a tough life to match.

“What is that?”

Soon, Alwin, under the guidance of the digital vision, found a shell from the crevice of the reef, one bigger than a pumpkin. large seashells.

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, even if he passed by, Alwin couldn’t find it.

Take the dagger tied to the calf in your hand, insert it through the seam of the shell, and pry it hard. A touch of soft pearl light flowed out, and a total of three black pearls, one, two, three, one large, two small, were picked out by the dagger.

Alwin doesn’t know much about jewelry of this era, but he has some basic common sense. Even with the lowest estimates, these three black pearls of excellent quality are worth at least one hundred Golden Lions.

According to the price of this period, a six-year-old military horse in pinnacle state is worth only one hundred Golden Lions. A sturdy military horse is more valuable to a Knight than owning a mid-to-high-end sedan in a previous life.

Take the income of the ordinary person as an example, a noble servant who is regarded as a high-income group, usually a month’s wages, that is, three silver cows can be converted into a Golden Lion.

As you can imagine, this is a huge fortune.

Holding back the joy in his heart, Alwin carefully put the harvest into a small pocket around his waist, throwing away the stone and then resurfaced.

The somewhat ecstatic Alwin apparently forgot that he was in a seabed with dangerous lurks on every side, not a well-serviced jewelry store.

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

Alwin thought he was entangled by the seaweed, but he struggled, but he didn’t break free, and his heart thumped.

gu lu, gu lu

Alwin looked back, and almost let out the gas in his mouth in shock.

A gigantic octopus with the color of a reddish-brown reef had lurked beside Alwin at some point, and it was a sturdy arm with a length of more than three meters that wrapped around his ankle.

In times of sudden change, Alwin did not struggle in vain like an ordinary person. The training he received from a young age told him that if he panics before a battle against an enemy stronger than himself, the outcome is doomed. This was the case when facing the violent lynx, and it is the same when facing the big octopus today.

The big octopus is obviously impatient. After entangling the prey, the other arms and legs cling to the reef and slowly drag Alwin down, as if to drag him into the deep sea to drown and immediately enjoy a big meal .

In critical moments, one by one the ways to get out popped out of mind and were quickly rejected.

But the thoughts in my head can’t come as fast as thousands hammers, hundred refinements have formed the body of an apprentice Knight with a fighting instinct. Driven by his strong survival instinct, Alwin did not resist the drag of the big octopus, but instead used this force to kick the reef and recoil downward.

Because he knows he can’t outrun this cunning predator in seabed, the only way to survive is to kill it! But it is a huge ordinary sea creature, not a ferocious animal, the one to emerge victorious is not necessarily.

Although the big octopus is very smart, it can’t guess what Alwin is thinking. When he sees him swimming over, the rest of the tentacles are open, just waiting for the prey to bring it to his mouth. , then gorge oneself.

Using strength to recoil, Alwin, who is very close to the big octopus, has seen the terrifying mouthparts like a bird’s beak in its tentacles. He dare not hesitate any more, and his strong and powerful legs swing hard, The body accelerates again.

Before the big octopus’s open tentacles could react, Alwin had taped to its forehead, and met two fist-sized yellow eyes up close.

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

The corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and the dagger in Alwin’s hand had been sent without the slightest hesitation between the big octopus’s eyes, where its nerve center was located.

嘤——

Ignoring the Final Struggle behind him, the big octopus waving its tentacles constantly, Alwin dashed towards the surface of the water. If he waited another half a minute, he would have to drown in the seabed without the big octopus eating him.

Bumping out of the water and climbing onto the raft, Alwin did not forget to pack all his harvests carefully, picked up the oars and rowed towards the beach as fast as he could escape.

The ocean is too dangerous for me now, and the slightest departure from the shallows can be fatal. But Alwin firmly believes that one day he can conquer this vast Black Sea, and even explore the more magnificent and fantastic scenery in the distance!
