Longevity begins with whale hunting

After the sailors agreed, the Qianliu also turned around and followed the black pirate ship in a certain direction.

A few days later.

“That’s where the fish are?”

Bai Xuan stood beside the side of the ship.

Not far away, several black pirate ships were patrolling a sea area, and the skull and crossbones flags on the ships were very conspicuous.

He has an eye for the sea. Judging from the surrounding ocean currents, he is afraid that there is indeed a huge school of fish here, numbering more than hundreds of thousands of kilograms!

"Really a fish?"

Bai Xuan was also a little surprised.

He didn't expect that the gangsters who hired them to come here were actually here to fish. He thought they had some sunken treasures to salvage.

"Yes, this is where the fish are."

Silently, Bai Xuanji appeared beside the ship.

"You will lead the brothers to salvage later. Just be careful, as the thieves may not trust you."

"By the way, tell me to go down. There may be a kind of alien species among the fish, which is extremely strange. If it can be found... Needless to say, that thing can be identified under any circumstances. Please notify me as soon as possible."

"I know."

Bai Xuan said.

It can be seen from Bai Xuanji's words that he may not trust the gangsters, it's just a transaction.

You know, the black thief can give each sailor fifty taels of silver, and there is a full five thousand taels of silver on this ship!

This is not a small amount, and anyone who takes it out will be trembling.

What's more, Bai Xuanji must have received many benefits from it.

In this way, the amount of money the pirates paid was astonishing, and it was difficult to say whether they would abide by the rules and conduct normal transactions.

The Qianliu stopped in this area and began to anchor and salvage.

"There is definitely a huge school of fish here. The net will be too heavy to collect. If we can catch it here, we don't need to continue fishing. We can just go home."

Some sailors marveled.

There is great uncertainty when fishing boats go out to sea. Sometimes there are too few fish to fill the warehouse, so they can only return with half a warehouse of fish.

Therefore, the advantage of whaling is that one large whale can basically meet the storage needs of a ship.

The same goes for such huge fish schools. Once discovered, it is like hunting a big whale. As long as the quality of the fish is high, the boat can make a lot of money.

"It's the silver-scaled hairtail fish!"

"Hiss, it turns out to be a silver-scaled hairtail, starting at 80 cents per pound!"

Sailors are a joy.

The quality of this school of fish is not low. One boat can catch up to 100,000 kilograms of fish. That is the price of 8,000 guan. Compared with fishing on ordinary days, you can earn half more on average!

"Keep fishing."

Bai Xuan commanded many sailors on the boat and set the nets to catch fish.

His eyes are now like lightning, piercing through the sea water, and he can see the movement of fish in the deep sea. Once the snake-bone fish appears, he can immediately locate it.

…

A few days passed.

"It seems the pirates are also very cautious."

Bai Xuan looked at the pirate ship not far away.

These black pirate ships come and go freely, and on average they have to change their guard every once in a while. Apparently there are islands stationed in the nearby waters, some kind of hidden lair.

During this period, the catch has been handed over three times. This is a catch of 24,000 taels, which is an income of more than 20,000 taels of silver, which is more than hunting two large whales.

The black thieves probably changed hands and sold this large batch of catches to other places, but that had nothing to do with the Qianliu.

As for what the gangsters want, the so-called alien existence...

There was none, no one saw it.

During this period, Bai Xuan was not idle. He was vigilant. He still practiced his marksmanship hard every day, but now there was no monster meat supplement. He served as a boatswain on the ship. After all, he had more work as a fisherman. His career as a fisherman progressed by leaps and bounds, and he practiced horizontally. Dao Nian stagnated.

"The everlasting tree!"

Bai Xuan thought silently in his heart, and the bronze Dao tree emerged. In an instant, nine points of Dao thoughts were poured into the branches and leaves of the "trawling net".

In an instant, the muscles all over Bai Xuan's body swelled, and his energy and blood were like a volcano, almost erupting!

Trawl (Dacheng, current progress: 90%)!

"It's still a little short of breaking through to the next level. Sure enough, at this level, it will take ten o'clock to break through to the first level."

Bai Xuan knew it well.

After Dacheng, I am afraid that this skill will reach the perfect level, and it may not be able to improve. This is the top of a skill on the path of fishermen. It is already transcendent, but it has not yet reached a higher level.

Right now.

Suddenly, there was a commotion on the deck.

"Monster fish, it's a demon fish!"

The fishing net broke open, and a huge monster fish with a length of more than three meters fell on the deck. The tentacles in its mouth spread wildly, rolled up a frightened sailor, and was about to stuff it into his mouth!

"not good."

On the other side of the deck, Third Officer Liu Yuezhi was shocked.

He was too far away to catch up, and the sailor was about to be torn apart by the demon fish before his eyes!

Right now.

Bai Xuan held the Cold Iron Speargun from behind. In an instant, he flashed and cut off the tentacles with one swing of the gun. Blood spurted out and the sailor fell to the deck, rolling away and crawling away.

The demon fish roared in pain, and the sound was completely unlike a fish!

laugh!

Before it could move and bite, Bai Xuan's head was pierced with a spear, and with a slight twist, the brains gushed out. The demon fish twitched for a moment and then lost its vitality and stopped moving.

"Push it overboard."

Bai Xuan ordered.

The surrounding sailors were in shock, but at this moment, some people were amazed.

"The bosun is so young that he killed the monster fish with one shot?"

"It turns out that the boatswain's skills are not inferior to others."

"Isn't that spear gun made of cold iron?"

Originally, many sailors had some basic respect for Bai Xuan's identity and strength as a boatswain, and admired his ability to judge ocean currents and fish schools.

But at this moment, Bai Xuan showed his strength slightly, and the situation was different.

Many sailors were more respectful when talking to him, and Gao Hong and the third mate Liu Yuezhi also changed their expressions.

"What a handsome skill... young, but powerful."

Liu Yuezhi attached great importance to it.

The existence of the other party even posed a slight threat to his position as the third mate, but considering the existence of the three brothers of the Bai family, he weighed it in his heart.

I am afraid that Bai Xuan's future is far-reaching, and it is better to build a good relationship. Sometimes, it is better to make friends if you can't target them. Taking a step back will open up a wider world.

At this moment, Bai Xuan naturally felt the attitude of these people.

"Strength is still the best."

Bai Xuan sighed in his heart.

No matter how powerful he was, it couldn't compare to the shock of killing a demon fish with one shot. In the chaotic sea, strength is everything!

...

A few days later.

"What kind of fish is this!"

"Hiss, the net is about to break!"

All the sailors were panicking.

It was common for demon fish to appear in the net, but at this moment, the giant fish in the net was probably even bigger than ordinary demon fish, and extremely powerful. The power burst out, making it impossible for more than a dozen sailors to control the fishing net together, and they were almost broken free!

Critical moment.

Bai Xuan stepped forward, embraced his arms, and his feet were like a tree taking root, exerting his strength!

His ability to drag the net has now reached a level close to perfection, and he can pull up a thousand-jin catch. In addition to practicing martial arts, his arms have a strength of tens of thousands of jin, which no one can match.

Under his power, the fishing net stopped falling and rose up little by little!

"What kind of fish is this?"

After a while, with a loud bang, the fishing net was released, and a giant fish rushed onto the deck, causing everyone's expressions to change!

It was an extremely terrifying giant fish, covered with hard bones all over its body, and its head was like a snake bone, extremely ferocious!

"After searching everywhere for it, it was easy to find!"

Only Bai Xuan's eyes flashed, and his heart was extremely happy!

This was exactly the snake bone fish he was looking for!

This kind of deep-sea alien species is extremely rare. It must be that a large number of fish in the sea attracted this alien species to come and prey on it.

On the deck, the snake bone fish struggled desperately, and a sailor next to it chopped it with a knife, but there was only a clang, and the sword broke directly!

"It is indeed an alien species. I am afraid that this skeleton is almost the same level as my iron bone. Ordinary martial arts can't break it at all."

Bai Xuan's eyes flashed.

He did not step forward, but paused the spear gun in his hand and said loudly: "This kind of deep-sea fish can't live long in the water. Put the net to tie it up and retreat!"

"Yes, boatswain!"

Many sailors responded in unison and retreated one after another. The more the snake bone fish struggled, the tighter it was tied. After a while, this huge snake bone fish became slow to move and gradually lost its vitality.

Swish!

Bai Xuan's figure flashed, and a gun pierced through the gap in the head. The body of the snake bone giant fish stiffened, and then it completely collapsed.

"Okay, now start to divide the catch!"

Bai Xuan ordered.

After Bai Xuan gave the order, many sailors stepped forward. The exoskeleton of the snake bone fish was extremely hard and difficult to split, but even so, there were gaps. After death, the muscles were relaxed and could not lock the bones, so it would still be disassembled bit by bit.

"Just right to divide that piece of tender meat."

Bai Xuan saw it clearly.

The recipes do not record much edible fish meat. Most of the blood and qi of the snake bone fish is used to grow bones, and the remaining blood and flesh essence is only ten pounds.

As expected.

When the abdomen was cut at the end, the bright and crystal tender meat was finally revealed, with blood flowing on it, as if it was still alive!

Bai Xuan was delighted and was about to take the more than ten pounds of fish meat into his own pocket.

Not far away, one of the pirate ships approached quickly.

"Put down the snake bone fish!"

"This kind of exotic fish needs to be handed over to us pirates for inspection. You have no right to take it!"

As the ship approached, dozens of pirates on it wore swords and swords on their waists. Their voices came from afar, and they were aggressive, as if they were supervising the fishermen, and their tone was not open to argument!
