There was a sea of fog above the dark sea, and Gungun didn't dare to float too high, for fear of losing Lin Chou accidentally.
However, Lin Chou understood from Gungun's expression that the height of the sea of fog had gradually risen to the twenty heights of Master Gungun, which was a full two hundred meters.
The further we walked, the more we seemed to be heading towards the abyss, and even the surrounding light quickly dimmed.
"Hey, boy."
A voice suddenly floated from the thick fog.
"Fuck, fuck!"
"who?"
"Ahem." The voice was extremely old, revealing indescribable fatigue and sleepiness. "Does an old man who fishes also want to point a murder weapon at me?"
"Oh." Lin Chou quietly took it back and shoveled it, "Sorry."
"Snapped"
"How rude."
There was resistance from the shovel, "Old man, I'm here, where are you shoveling? Are you going to kill an unarmed old man?"
"Sorry, sorry, the fog is too thick, I really can't see where you are."
"Are your ears used to vent your anger? Today's young people are so impetuous!"
Lin Chou walked toward the direction of the old man's voice on the right, tripped under his feet, and heard a splashing sound.
"You just kicked over my dinner."
“…”
"Um, old man, do you know that there is a reef made of sea bluestone near here?"
"Young man, are you talking about the reef four hundred kilometers away from Mingguang and 700 kilometers away from here?"
“…”
"Old man, when I first arrived here, I often got lost, but now, I don't get lost anymore."
"Oh, do you have any clues?"
"That thing is useless in the dark fog."
"The old man is not lost because I am blind now."
Damn it!
"Boy, you are really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, so you dare to rush into the dark sea alone? However, your awakened bloodline skill is quite interesting. It will not sink when you enter the water, which is much better than a weight."
The old man flicked the fishing rod, and there was a snapping sound on the water surface.
"...Aren't you also on the sea?"
"I'm blind, are you blind too? Didn't you see the old man sitting on the shore?"
shore?
"What is this place?"
"Are you stupid, kid? Of course this is an island!"
I...
I really want to give him a shovel!
"Haha, I'm in a good mood today, old man. I'll teach you a way to avoid getting lost on the sea."
"Do you know what water patterns are?"
"have no idea!"
Lin Chou gave a stiff answer.
"You don't seem to understand such esoteric knowledge. I will tell you with mercy, old man, that the sea rises and falls based on the movement of the moon and gravity... Don't ask me what the moon is, I don't know either. Seen it before! Wind, ocean current temperature, gravity, the rotation of the earth and various influences will eventually be reflected on the sea. Waves of large and small sizes will be formed, and the cycle will continue endlessly. These waves are like human palm prints, each one has its own characteristics. The significance may be that it represents the position of fish schools, or it represents the topography of the seabed, or it can even be used to tell from the water patterns within a certain range whether there are tombs of ancient people thousands of years ago before the cataclysm. This knowledge will give you a few decades, I can’t even learn a superficial lesson!”
Damn it, then you still talk about a ball!
"The water patterns are more fickle than a woman's face, but you have to remember, no matter how big the waves are and the water patterns are chaotic, the general direction is always towards the land, which is as obvious as the lice on a bald head! The sea! He is generous and will mark countless huge guiding arrows on the sea to forever point the way home to sailors..."
Blocked by heavy fog, Lin Chou could only vaguely see the shadow of the old man. After all the talk, the old man seemed tired.
"Go away, the old man has spent two pounds of spit... It's unreasonable. You can't even catch a fish in peace... When I was young, I could talk for a whole day and a night without stopping. I'm old. I'm old."
Lin Chou was in a daze and his head was full of waves, so he thanked her and left.
After he left, tornadoes and hurricanes passed by, tearing away a corner of the thick fog.
The old man wore a coarse green shirt and held a willow branch in his hand. With a slight flick, a fat blue and white bass was lifted up from the sea by the willow branch.
He sat on a large raised rock in front of the beach, with only two terrifying black holes in his eyes. He picked up the fish basket and turned around and walked towards the shore.
In the direction that the old man faced, a huge city wall undulated on the sea as far as the eye could see. Endless mist slowly flowed down from behind the high wall like a waterfall, spread out on the sea, and dispersed.
This city wall clearly has obvious traces of artificial construction, but it is so tall and reaches the sky and the earth, almost connecting the sea and the sky. In front of it, Mingguang City looks as small and ignorant as a child standing at the foot of the mountain looking up at the peak.
...
Mingguang, 390 kilometers east of Mingguang, a 10,000-ton seal-class fishing boat was drifting beside a reef above the water. Less than a hundred meters to its side, the billowing thick fog was like a flash flood that had been slowed down dozens of times. Coming slowly, but surely.
"Quick, lift anchor! Black fog is coming!"
"No! There are still two big nets that have not been raised. One more night and they will be torn to pieces by those big guys who move at night."
"Fuck me, hurry up. When the black mist comes, the pointer will immediately stop working, right? Do you want to spend the night on the dark sea?"
"Hurry up!"
"Snapped."
The boatman Fengshuo licked his chapped lips, and swung his special Zhanma sword to chop off the one-meter-long bonito head neatly. Light red blood splashed all over his body. With quick movements, he chopped off the one-meter-long fish. Pushing the body into the ice room, the fish head was thrown casually on the deck.
There are hundreds of such hard workers on the entire fishing boat. Whether it is the plump fish body or the fish head that can only be used to make bone meal, it is not something that a person like him can covet - but in addition to receiving a salary, You can also fill a few buckets of blood water on the deck and steam it with wild vegetables when you get home. It will still make you hungry and ensure your protein intake.
When Fengshuo turned around to drag another bonito over, he found that the place behind him was already empty. Many workers who had finished their work were standing on the deck, admiring the spectacular scene of the thick fog.
This was a rare free time. Fengshuo picked up an old wooden bucket and filled the bucket with the fish blood on his workbench spoon by spoon.
"Boom!!"
A figure as fast as lightning broke through the fog, brought up fog and smoke, and crashed into the left side of the ship.
Lin Chou's head was shaking and dizzy. In front of him was a hundred-meter-long giant ship. He actually knocked out a dent of more than ten centimeters on the left side of the ship.
He squinted his eyes and looked up. Above him, a dark and skinny young man looked at him with wide eyes and fear. He still didn't know that the barrel in his hand had fallen over.
"Hmm, is there an aquamarine reef near here?"
Fengshuo pointed at Lin Chou, "right behind you."
"OK."
"Hey!" Fengshuo hesitated and reminded, "The black fog is coming, you will get lost."
Lin Chou turned around with a smile, touched his pocket, and found that there was nothing in it.
He pierced the sea surface with his shovel, and when he lifted it up again, he suddenly brought out a big fish nearly three meters long and swung it towards the boat.
"Give it to you!"
The big fish flew straight up to the side of the ship, which was nearly twenty meters high, and smashed the almost rotten operating table with a bang.
The hard workers who saw this scene gathered around one after another.
"That man, he can run on the sea!"
"Can you understand the world of Master Evolver?"
"Anchovy, madman, you are rich!"
"Brother Crazy, if you eat meat, you have to share some soup with your brothers, right?"
"Lucky guy!"
At this time, a man wearing a white chief officer's uniform came over and squinted in the direction where Lin Chou disappeared.
"First mate!"
"Hello, sir!"
The first mate said favor and turned to face Fengshuo.
Fengshuo stammered, "Chief, first mate... I will be able to repair the console soon, very soon!"
"May I have your name?"
"Feng, abundant."
"Very good, I still need a deputy by my side. After you go back, you can go to the main station and say something, and you can follow me from now on."
Fengshuo was stunned by the sudden surprise, "But, but why..."
The first mate took off his white gloves and patted the three-meter-long anchovy, "The zero-level low-level mutant anchovy tastes very good... This season is the time of reproduction. In the stomach, It should contain a lot of fish eggs.”
"Then, this, this fish will be given to you..."
The first mate smiled and waved his hand, "How dare I, Nian Yi, cut off my beard from an adult like that? Haha... After you get ashore, you cut off a few kilograms of fish meat and come to my house to drink! I hid a bottle of Qingquanshan, and while I'm at it, Your sister-in-law hasn’t noticed it yet, let’s get rid of it quickly!”
"Before they are completely dead, bleed them, put them into the innermost layer of the icehouse after processing. Only fresh anchovies can be sold at a good price."
"You still don't know the price of this mutated anchovy, right? A sashimi made from such a big guy in Wanghailou will cost hundreds of dollars! If there are fish eggs in your belly, then congratulations, you You can buy a medium-sized yard in Xiacheng District."
Fengshuo opened his mouth wide, "Really, really? You didn't lie to me, did you?"
"Haha, I'm still waiting for the fresh anchovy sashimi. Don't forget my share. The front desk knows my address. I'll ask your sister-in-law to prepare the dishes and wait at home." The first mate waved his hand and turned around to enter the cabin.
In the captain's room, Nian Yi took off his hat and poured himself a glass of water.
"My first mate, why are you doing this? It's no harder to kill a boatman than to kill a flea. Even I feel a little moved when I see an anchovy like that."
The captain stood in front of the glass window and said in a low voice.
Outside the window, the dark and thin boatman kept stroking the body of the fish, and the corners of his mouth almost reached the base of his ears.
"Killing a boatman, all I get is an anchovy, it's just a matter of going to Bafanglou a few more times and calling a few girls. If I keep this boatman, there may be a slight chance of getting the attention of an awakened person. You You mean, my father?"
The captain chuckled and turned around, revealing a bearded face, "My first mate, among my dozen pairs of children, you are my favorite heir."
Nian Yi smiled and said, "So, my father, what are your plans?"
"Plan? There is no plan. After all, the old and immortal person is still alive. Our father and son will be wandering on the sea for a few more years."
Nian Yi had no expression on his face and drank all the water in his glass in one gulp.
Everyone is an anchovy in the sea, and they will be caught in a net at some point. Even if it is a fish in the net, what he wants to do is to be the most valuable one.
