Chapter 24 Fire Fish Storm Attacks

Click, click~
The line began to vibrate.

"Well! Come! Come!."

Hughes was a little excited, his eyes were closed, and his knowledge was fully open. On the bottom of the sea, a flame was 'burning' in the dark deep sea.

A huge black shadow swam past the flame, and suddenly the 'flame' trembled and disappeared.

Just at the moment when the 'flame' disappeared, that is, the moment when the fishing line was tightened.

Hughes opened his eyes suddenly, exerted strength with his hands, and the blue veins clinged to his arms like dragons.

The tight fishing line rattled as it was pulled.

boom!
A fiery red fish with a body length of [-] meters and criss-crossed fangs in its mouth was caught out of the sea by Hughes.

The strange fish was thrown into the air, it opened its mouth wide, and bit towards Hughes's boat, the only small boat on the sea.

clank!

Hughes held the fishing rod in one hand, and quickly pulled out the red sword from behind with his right hand, and the armed color domineeringly wound up.

Slashing twice in the air, the huge slashing lights staggered and flew towards the strange fish in the air, and a huge X-shaped bloodstain exploded on the belly of the strange fish instantly.

The strange fish lost its eyesight, and with a loud plop, it fell to the surface of the sea and lost its life.

The rising waves pushed Hughes' boat away.

Hughes pulled the fishing rod and dragged the strange fish to the side of the boat.

This kind of strange fish with fiery red body and flame-like lines is called fire fish.

Not only because the whole body of this fish is fiery red, but also because the body surface has lines like burning flames.

This fish is especially fond of eating fire, literally eating fire.

In the past, fishermen would burn a wooden boat filled with kerosene on the sea to lure firefish.

Because firefish usually live in the deep sea several kilometers below the seabed.

If the fire burning on the surface of the sea is not strong enough, it will not be able to attract them to the surface at all.

But even if this method is used a hundred times, it may not be successful once, and people have never given up on catching this extremely vicious strange fish.

Not only is the meat of this fish delicious, its blood can even be used as medicine to treat most cold diseases, and the most important thing is their fish bones.

A piece of fishbone the size of a child's finger can be used as fuel, burning for a whole week, and burning will produce a unique fragrance.

It is used for grilling, even without any other seasoning, the food itself will become delicious enough.

And as long as the fish bones are ground into powder and put into the cooking, no matter how ordinary the food is, it will become extremely delicious.

Fish bone itself has no taste, it will not only enhance the deliciousness of the ingredients to the maximum, but also make that deliciousness even higher.

It is the same no matter what kind of cuisine it is, even desserts, it can be called a universal seasoning.

Its value, I do not know how many times more than gold.

Until one day, people discovered a plant on a permafrost plateau with icy cold wind blowing all year round.

This kind of plant lives in the cold and anoxic plateau area, and its shape is burning like a flame. The person who discovered it called this plant as "burning fire grass".

People tried to use this plant to lure fire fish, and found that the effect was not so good.

In the deep sea, burning fireweed can attract firefish dozens or hundreds of kilometers away, and this effect is the same even on the sea surface.

But because of this kind of grass, the living environment is harsh, and it is extremely difficult to pick it, and the quantity is not very large.

Therefore, it is still extremely difficult to catch the fire fish. In addition, given the ferocity of the fire fish, it is impossible to successfully catch it without sufficient strength.

Fortunately, this kind of plant can survive for three months after being picked, otherwise, after being picked, from the ice sheet to the deep sea, most plants would have withered long ago.

The strain in the hands of Hughes was purchased in the last rally.

Hughes took a boning knife from the cabin, cut off a piece of boned fish from the fire fish, inserted two iron chisels, took out the fish bones as fuel, and placed them on the grill.

After a while, the tempting fragrance wafted from the fish, and the bursting fragrance swept the entire sea area like a storm.

No one has ever had the luxury to use such a large fish bone for barbecue.

Gulu Gulu Gulu~~~
Hughes' stomach kept growling, his eyes were fixed on the fish, his feet kept shaking, and the special fragrance spread throughout the boat.

"Wait a little longer, it's not yet the most delicious time, just wait a little longer."

From that book, Hughes knew that the most delicious cooking time for firefish was yet to come.

The sea surface was choppy, and the sea water suddenly surged up violently.

A carnivorous fish with black and blue stripes broke out of the sea, opened a huge mouth bigger than the boat, and rushed towards Hughes' boat to bite.

Zheng!
Seeing no movement from Hughes, the carnivorous fish rushed towards the body of the boat and suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Then it burst into a bloody flower in the air, and the flesh and blood scattered in the sea, and the bloody water was quickly swallowed by the fish that followed.

During the period when Hughes was grilling fish, what happened just now happened more than once or twice.

Excluding the fire fish whose meat was taken away by Hughes, most of the rest were eaten up by all kinds of carnivorous fish that had been rushed here long ago.

Now only part of the fish skeleton remains.

At this moment, the fragrance has become extremely strong, the sea has set off waves, and a large number of carnivorous fish have gathered in the sea, there are even sea kings, and there are also a bunch of sea beasts.

"trouble."

Under the harassment of these sea beasts, Hughes couldn't taste the grilled fish properly, and Hughes held Fei with one hand.

boom!
Powerful coercion erupted from the crimson blade and quickly spread to the depths of the sea.

All kinds of carnivorous fish in the sea stopped their restless bodies in an instant, and their bodies trembled violently.

Then he turned around and swam desperately towards the deep sea. Even though the species usually fight with each other, they can't care about each other at this moment.

They just want to get out of that sea as quickly as possible, as far as possible from the small boat on the sea.

Even a snake can live peacefully with a rat when life is in great danger.

Fei's coercion is different from the general overlord's color. Its coercion contains its own special blood flame effect.

This makes Fei's coercion can cause real damage to objects and creatures, and creatures will instinctively feel fear and flee from Fei.

The movement under the surrounding sea disappeared, and Hughes could finally enjoy the food quietly.

Take off the whole piece of fish, bite it down, the juice overflows, and the rich fragrance fills the mouth.

Even if no seasoning is added, the fishy smell is not left behind under the grilling of the fish bones, and the unique taste stimulates Hughes' taste buds.

The fish goes down the esophagus to the stomach. After daily practice, the slightly tired body is full of strength again, and a warm current flows through the whole body.

"Not bad!"

Hughes was still very surprised that the fire fish had such an effect.

But that's all, compared to its effect, Hughes still prefers its taste.

With these fish bones, there is no need to worry about eating in the future.

After a few mouthfuls, the adult-sized fish disappeared. Hughes crossed his hands and lay on his back on the boat plank.

The sunlight in the sky was not dazzling, and the warm sea breeze blew through Hughes' cherry-colored hair.

Under the blowing of the sea breeze, the boat moved leisurely on the sea.

It can only be said that it is indeed a great route. In the morning, it was still sunny and the sea was rippling with the breeze. In the afternoon, the sky turned dark, with strong winds and uneven waves.

The strong wind mixed with the torrential rain slammed on Hughes' boat, thunder rolled in the air, and golden arcs danced in the clouds.

Hughes drew up the sails, and the boat drifted with the current in the storm, and the hull was tottered by the waves.

Hughes stood at the bow of the boat, letting the heavy rain hit his face, holding the rudder with his hand, always alert to changes in the surrounding sea, too.

Hughes is still confident about whether the ship itself can survive the storm.

All he has to do now is to prevent the boat from being capsized by the waves.

Although even if the boat capsizes, Hughes can turn it back again.

But everything on the boat will also be completely wet, and there are still some very precious things in it, which cannot be wetted.

A wave of more than ten meters high hit Hughes. In this storm, waves of tens of meters high are almost normal.

Swish!
A red light cut out, the waves were cut into pieces, a large piece of sea water hit the ship's plank, the sea water washed the ship's plank, and returned to the sea.

boom! !

The muffled thunder exploded, and a huge golden light descended from the sky and struck Hughes. Facing this great power of nature, Hughes had to take it seriously.

"trouble!"

Hughes knew that even if the lightning couldn't do much damage to him, it wouldn't necessarily do the same to the boat under him.

Hughes held the knife in both hands, his feet were spread apart, his pupils shrank slightly, his arms exerted strength, and the long knife in his hand swung in the air, and an extreme red light greeted the Tianwei.

boom!
The blade light collided with the lightning, exploding a piece of light in the air.

Under this power, the pitch-dark sky was once even opened up, and the sun shone through it, but it was soon swallowed up by the swirling dark clouds.

Golden lightning kept falling on this sea area shrouded in storms.

The waves dragged the boat and galloped through the thunderstorm.

If it wasn't because he was worried that there would be no sails in the future, Hughes didn't even plan to furl the sails. He still wanted to try the feeling of sailing in a storm.

That must be exciting.

After about an hour, the sea became calm, and a few white clouds floated slowly in the blue sky.

The sea area behind Hughes was shrouded in darkness, and Hughes had already left the sea area covered by the storm.

Hughes took out the record pointer, lowered the sails, adjusted the rudder, and moved on.
