Chapter 55 Casualties and Gains
……
Wang Shouzhe immediately picked up the strong bow and sword, and rushed out quickly.
arrived on the deck.
Wang Dinghai held a fishing and hunting spear with a barbed and rope, and instructed the boatmen to quickly slap the water with a long bamboo pole. The two generals of Wang Zhong and Wang Yong also set strong bows, ready to shoot at any time.
"Shouzhe, you came just right." While Wang Dinghai's expression was solemn, he couldn't contain his joyful expression. "It's a lone East China Sea arrow flag. It should be washed into the fresh water by the tide. It's not too difficult to deal with. Pay attention to it. When the water is on the surface, shoot it at the point with an arrow."
Generally speaking, the difficulty of aquatic beasts is not worse than that of terrestrial beasts. When they are underwater, they are often powerful and fierce, and it is common for them to knock over and shatter ships.
Wang Dinghai has been an "old fisherman" for more than ten years. He naturally has his own way of dealing with fierce aquatic beasts. The sound of bamboo sticks beating on the water surface can disturb the judgment of fierce aquatic beasts. Arouse the anger of the other party.
Except for a few fishes, most fishes, even fierce beasts, are generally inferior in wisdom than terrestrial fierce beasts.
As soon as Wang Dinghai's voice fell, a large spray suddenly exploded four or five feet away from the left side of the ship. An aquatic monster nearly two feet long suddenly jumped out of the water and charged fiercely on the boat.
With Wang Shouzhe’s dynamic vision, it can only be seen that the aquatic beast has a front thorn as long as a sharp sword and a dorsal fin like a triangular flag, which looks a bit like a sailfish on the earth.
But no matter its size or fierceness, it is far from a swordfish.
"Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!"
Three shocking sounds sounded almost at the same time, and the sharp arrows hit the fierce beast one by one. The difference is that the sharp arrow sent by Wang Zhong and Wang Yong nailed three or four inches into its body. But Wang Shouzhe's arrow fell directly by more than a foot.
The difference does not come from the difference in bows and arrows, but the higher quality of the profound energy used by Wang Shouzhe to attach to the arrows.
"A beast, so courageous."
Wang Dinghai was the most ferocious as an old fisherman. His whole body was bulging, and his profound energy exploded to the extreme. The fishing and hunting spear, which was specially used to kill large fishes, suddenly threw out, and with a "poof", it penetrated more than two feet into the side of the beast .
However, at this time, the front stab of the fierce beast stabbed a boatman and fell into the water unabated. At the same time, with a flick of its tail, two boatmen were swept into the water.
"Boom!"
With the sound of huge splashes, the fierce beast led the boatman into the water.
But it is carrying Wang Dinghai’s fishing and hunting short spear, and the tail of the short spear is tied with a special thick rope.
Before it could swim ten feet, the rope was put to the extreme and tightened suddenly, "creaking". This medium-sized merchant ship was pulled aside by it, and the bow was swung over by a strong pulling force.
This is the experience and skill of human beings on the ship to deal with large aquatic beasts. This East China Sea Arrow Flag clearly made a wrong decision. This wrong decision will naturally lead to its loss of life.
The pulling of the fishing and hunting spear and the barbs made it toss in pain, trying to get rid of it desperately, but it couldn’t get out of it.
Then it was greeted by the long-range strikes of Wang Shouzhe and others' strong bows.
Even so, Wang Shouzhe and the others all shot a pot of arrows, and the East Sea Arrow Flag gradually stopped struggling and turned over. All the boatmen joined together and slowly dragged it back.
At this time, the corpse of the boatman who was nailed to death by its front thorn had been thrown away long ago, and was washed away by the tide. Only one of the boatmen who fell into the water was rescued, and the other was probably swept away by the underwater undercurrent and could not be found.
Although it killed a Tier 2 aquatic fierce beast, it filled in with two lives, which cast a haze on Wang Shouzhe's face.
Shipmen’s morale is also very low, after all, those who die are friends who get along with each other day and night.
"Shouzhe, fighting against Tier 2 aquatic fierce beasts is going very well today. This is a big victory." Wang Dinghai came over and patted Wang Shouzhe on the shoulder, and said after a comforting sentence, "Even if the bloodline people and the family will die In battle, it may not be impossible."
Wang Shouzhe understood that although the second-order fierce beasts belong to the same level as the high-level refining realm, the fierce beasts overall are much stronger than the same realm.
And this world is different from the earth after all. Human beings have always competed with fierce beasts for survival. Because humans live on land, terrestrial beasts have long been wiped out in human habitats, and they are relatively safe.
However, no one can predict how many people will die in this kind of clearance and land reclamation.
But there are different situations in the water.
Humans do not live in water. Large rivers like Anjiang have a wilderness source and many tributaries. Some tributaries lead to some uncultivated fierce waters, where is a paradise for aquatic beasts.
It is precisely because of this kind of water system extending in all directions that aquatic beasts are constantly appearing in the category of human habitats. Otherwise, the perennial hunting behavior of humans would have wiped out the aquatic beasts in the habitat.
This East China Sea arrow flag is obviously a fierce beast in the sea. With bad luck, it was washed into the Danshui River by the tide. And it has no experience of dealing with humans. The sea is so wide that there are so many terrifying and ferocious species hidden in it that humans have so far been incomprehensible.
Therefore, marine merchant ships usually have to be not only large, but also very strong, and they have to carry some weapons such as siege equipment. And the city wall on Jinsha Island is naturally not just a decoration to prevent human beings from trespassing...
The fierce beasts in the sea are also not vegetarian.
settled slightly, Wang Shouzhe said: "Sixth Uncle, the compensation that should be caress, the reward that should be rewarded."
"That's natural. It's according to the traditional high standard. The pension for each dead boatman is 30 dry gold, and that is 60 dry gold. I will handle these personally." Wang Dinghai is used to such things, and his emotions are not too much. Big fluctuations, "The remaining 20 boatmen, each of them has a sealing fee and 2 bonuses, which is 40 dry gold, and we need to spend 100 dry gold."
100 dry gold, the expenditure is not small, and the boat workers’ pensions are usually relatively high.
But Wang Shouzhe paid out the money very happily, and directly gave Wang Dinghai 100 dry gold for him to take care of.
When the living boatmen heard that each person had 2 money, they suddenly lost all emotions and their morale rose a lot. Because of the risk of work, the boatman's overall income is not bad, but the net income of 2 dry gold is considered a huge sum of money.
Their emotions were excited, and they helped Wang Zhong and Wang Yong to pull the dead beast onto the deck little by little.
"We have to sail quickly, Wang Zhong and Wang Yong, you drag the prey into the cabin. And speed up the cleaning of the deck. It is not appropriate to stay here." Wang Dinghai immediately issued the next order and explained to Wang Shouzhe, "This piece of water is not It is our family’s hunting waters, but belongs to the Donggang Zuo clan. Leave as soon as possible to avoid extra branches."
There is no doubt that Wang Dinghai is a man who has been on the water for a long time, and his decision is very wise.
More than a quarter of an hour after the boat sailed out, it ran into Zuo’s fishing fleet at a distance. At this time, the tide rose, and it was the best fishing time for this piece of water.
They saw a passing medium-sized merchant ship, and they were busy grabbing prime time to fish, but they had no intention to ask. In Anjiang, it is not uncommon for merchant ships and passenger ships to come and go.
Next, he passed the Zuo family water area without any surprises.
"Congratulations, Patriarch." Wang Zhong and Wang Yong also temporarily dealt with the East China Sea Arrow Banner, and reported happily, "The Arrow Banner is expected to weigh more than 1,000 catties, and if the inedible part is removed, it is at least more than 700. Jin, a lot of money."
The fish meat of Tier 2 Fierce Beasts is several times more expensive than Tier 1 Fierce Beasts~www.novelbuddy.com~ The effect of supplementing vitality and blood will be better. These pure fish parts alone are worth hundreds of dry gold.
The leather of Arrow Banner is also very useful. After being tanned with a special technique, some high-end water support can be made, which can increase the water escape technique and defense of the basalt.
All edible parts, even fish intestines and liver, will be eaten.
The other inedible bone spurs, etc., can be dried and ground into spirit fish bone meal, which can be used to fertilize the spirit field.
In short, such an expensive and rare spirit fish will not be wasted anywhere.
There is also the maw of Lingyu, which is also very expensive. After being dried in the shade, it is the famous Lingyu Maw.
This is the most expensive part of the spirit fish. It can prevent postpartum hemorrhage and warm and moisturize it to replenish vital energy and blood.
Of course, only women of the Xuanwu family's blood will have such precious things to eat when they give birth, and women from ordinary families are not.
"Remember that after the isinglass is processed, it will be noted on the account book when it is placed in the clan bank, and will be used as one of the dowries when my sister gets married." Wang Shouzhe said with a thought.
"That's natural." Wang Zhong promised with a smile, "The fish glue of the red-tailed spirit fish hunted by the first Patriarch also exists, and it must be used as a dowry for Miss Luo Yi."
Wang Luoyi is Wang's auspicious daughter, so naturally there will be the best Lingyu fish maw as a dowry when she gets married.
At the same time, under normal circumstances, Wang Shouzhe does not need to consider this for Liu's daughter.
Because when Liu's aunt married his Wang Shouzhe, high-quality Lingyu fish maw was naturally indispensable for the marriage. That was the maiden's intention for the married daughter and hoped that she would recover health after giving birth.
The customs and traditions of the Xuanwu family have penetrated into every part of life.
