Start with the fisherman

Chapter 52 Blue Fish

"First mate."
The lookout Lao Wang and the helmsman saluted Cao Ze at the same time.

However, Lao Wang did not lower his head like the helmsman, but just nodded slightly, with a bit of pride in his respect.

This is the confidence of being a lookout. He can bring huge value to the Storm. Even Captain Storm will be polite to him.

"Ah."

Cao Ze hummed lightly and didn't care about Lao Wang's arrogance. Capable people are usually like this. As long as they can do things well, it is not unacceptable for them to be a little arrogant.

Seeing Cao Ze like this, Lao Wang felt even more pleased.

However, he also turned his head and looked in the direction Cao Ze said. He was the first to discover the battle between Cao Ze and the envoy of Dragon God Temple that day. He could be arrogant to the strong, but he still had to show due respect.

But soon he frowned.

The sea is very calm today, and there are no clouds in the sky. You can see very far at a glance.

He did not notice anything unusual in the southeast.

According to his experience, there shouldn't be any demon fish there.

The helmsman was also looking over here. Although Cao Ze was the first mate, he, as the helmsman, still trusted the lookout more. The two had worked together many times. Although Lao Wang would miss most of the time, his hit rate was far beyond that of ordinary people, and he was a trustworthy lookout.

"The appearance of the demon fish must be abnormal!"

"The sea there is calm and peaceful, and there are even schools of fish. There is no way there are demon fish."

Lao Wang shook his head. He trusted his own experience.

After saying that, he no longer paid attention to Cao Ze, looked around, and continued with his work.

The helmsman was somewhat surprised at Lao Wang's boldness and was a little worried for him, but when he saw that Cao Ze was not angry, he was slightly relieved.

The sailors who were out searching for the monster fish also returned to the deck at this time. They also heard the conversation between Cao Ze and Lao Wang, and couldn't help but laugh. They admitted that Cao Ze's martial arts skills might be strong, but when it comes to the ability to find monster fish, he'd better step aside.

On the upper deck, Feng Kuang and Tian Haiyi stood side by side, looking towards the observation deck and both smiled.

Both of them were warriors at the Bone Tempering Realm, with sharp five senses. Although they were far away, they could still hear the conversation between the two.

Different professions have different worlds. Even if they are warriors at the Bone Tempering Realm, they are not as good as Lao Wang, a warrior who has just reached the great stage of Skin Grinding, in finding demon fish. This has long been tested by facts.

When they saw Cao Ze, they thought of themselves at that time and naturally smiled knowingly.

Cao Ze was not angry. He activated the sea-watching function and raised his sight again. All objects within a radius of ten miles disappeared, leaving only a phantom wandering in the southeast.

He could be sure that there must be a demon fish there!
After retracting his observation of the sea, Cao Ze suddenly felt dizzy. If it weren't for his strong physique, he would have almost fallen to the ground.

Even though he was holding on to the railing of the observation tower to steady himself, he still felt a throbbing pain in his temple, as if something was trying to drill out from there, and his head was splitting.

Cao Ze smiled bitterly. Although sea viewing was fun, it consumed a lot of his energy. Using sea viewing twice in a row had already drained his spirit.

This also made him even more reluctant to continue adding some sea-viewing skills. Otherwise, the entry-level sea-viewing skills would consume so much energy. If he were to achieve a small level of sea-viewing, he would probably be exhausted and become an idiot.

The lookout, Lao Wang, frowned again. After some investigation, he found that there was no trace of the monster fish nearby.

The first fishing trip in half a month ended in failure for the Storm, which was not a good sign.

"Why not try the southeast?"

Cao Ze rubbed his temples, and after his headache was slightly relieved, he suggested again.

Lao Wang's performance clearly told him that he did not find any trace of the demon fish, which made Cao Ze think more highly of him, because he had just observed the sea and also only found the shadow of the demon fish in the southeast.

This shows that Old Wang is really something.

Lao Wang smiled bitterly. He didn't expect the first mate to be so persistent. In this case, let the young first mate give up. What he hated most was laymen pointing fingers at professionals. He hoped that this failure would make the first mate stop disturbing his work.

"Southeast, ten nautical miles!"

Lao Wang looked at the helmsman.

Hearing this, the helmsman no longer hesitated, turned the rudder and moved forward.

The power of the Kuangfeng is already quite good. The name Kuangfeng is not only named after the captain Feng Kuang's fierce wind sword technique, but also means that it comes and goes as fast as the wind.

Soon, the Tornado stopped at the location designated by Cao Ze.

The sailors lowered the speedboat again and searched everywhere for the traces of the monster fish.

But they were all relaxed and didn't search seriously.

They also saw what happened on the lookout tower and knew that this was just a game played by Lao Wang to satisfy the first mate. There was no way there could be any monster fish nearby.

Lao Wang didn't even look at the sailors' results, and he was already looking around again, looking for any possible traces of the demon fish.

"Blue-striped fish, it's a blue-striped fish!"

However, less than half a quarter of an hour later, there was a sudden commotion on the sea and a sailor exclaimed.

Afterwards, there was no need for them to be told. They had no time to think about why there really was a monster fish here. Some experienced sailors had already jumped into the water with harpoons in hand, while others spread out fishing nets and surrounded the fish from all sides... Having worked together countless times, they had a tacit understanding in their cooperation.

Lao Wang withdrew his searching gaze and looked towards the sea. Although the sailors' performance did not seem fake, he still found it hard to believe.

It was not until about a quarter of an hour later, when the sailors carried the bluefish onto the speedboat, that he had to believe it.

"That shouldn't be the case. There can't be any demon fish here!"

"Could it be that the first mate Wang Hai's ability is better than mine?"

Old Wang looked at the ridiculously young Cao Ze next to him and quickly gave up this guess, "It must be just good luck!"

On the upper deck, Feng Kuang and Tian Haiyi looked at each other with a hint of doubt in their eyes. They didn't believe that this was such luck.

Soon, a big fish about one and a half meters long was lifted onto the deck. The fish was covered with green scales, which looked like cloud patterns, in clusters and without any regularity, but it was pleasing to the eye and quite magical.

This is definitely a bluefin bream!

Also carried up was a burly sailor, whose thigh was a bloody mess with tears and blood flowing.

There were still traces of blood on the fine teeth of the blue-striped fish nearby.

"what happened?"

Boatswain Zhao Meng stepped forward to check the injury and asked in a deep voice.

This blue-striped fish only has the strength of a first-level demon fish, which is equivalent to a warrior who has mastered the skin-polishing technique. So many people hunted it, but someone was injured. This kind of thing should not happen on the experienced ship, the Gale.

"I was a little excited to encounter a demon fish so soon, and I became careless!"

The injured sailor grinned.

His answer was a slap from Zhao Meng.

"Listen to me, if anyone acts recklessly again, don't get on the Tornado with me next time!"

After picking up the injured sailor, Zhao Meng looked at the sailors around him with a stern expression and spoke in a harsh voice.

After saying that, he gave the injured sailor another fierce look. If the other party had not been injured, he would have beaten this guy up.
