Chapter 1638 [Fu Fu’s Bizarre Adventure 30] Fishing in the Sand Sea?
Amid the captain's roar, the fishermen on the deck became busy.
Someone was in charge of operating the rudder of the sailboat, adjusting the course and speed of the fishing boat, someone fired flares to recall all the small sand boats that were scattered out in search of targets, and someone else lifted the covering of the two heavy crossbows at the bow and wound them up with a creaking winch.
Fu Fu's heart beat faster when she saw his nervous and excited look.
But she still didn't quite understand what was going on, and in order to avoid making mistakes and getting into trouble, she pulled at the second prince's clothes.
"Is the sand dragon also the fleet's prey? Isn't it dangerous?"
The second prince waved the harpoon in his hand and howled excitedly like the other harpooners.
Hearing Fu Fu's question, he laughed and replied, "Dangerous? Of course it's dangerous! Sand dragons are much more powerful than sand fish!
An adult sand dragon can be nearly eight meters long. If it is a sand dragon king, its size is comparable to some flying dragons and it can easily overturn a boat!"
"Then then shouldn't we turn around and retreat meow?!" Yupa's voice was trembling, "Why is our boat rushing over there meow?!"
"Withdraw! The money is about to go into your pocket!"
"Hahaha! If you don't have the guts to take a chance, do you want to travel into the sea of sand?"
The harpooners standing with the Second Prince laughed.
"Don't be careless!" The captain yelled at the excited harpooners, and then he personally took action and lowered the balance poles on both sides of the boat together with several other fishermen.
The stabilizing pole will significantly reduce the speed and agility of the sand boat, but it can also greatly improve the stability of the boat.
Some brave harpooners will climb and jump along the connecting piece to the balance pole, which can help them get closer to the sand surface and make it easier to pierce the harpoon into the prey.
Of course, it is also easier to fall into the sea of sand.
"What should I do now?" Fu Fu was a little at a loss.
Someone had explained to her before what to do if she encountered a school of sand fish.
It is nothing more than shooting the arrow connected to the rope to pierce the body of the sand fish and hook it. Then the part of pulling the sand fish onto the boat is the work of the porters and the mechanical winch.
However, no one told her what to do if she encounters a sand dragon!
Do we also shoot arrows to hook them and then pull them onto the boat?
It’s not possible, right?
The largest sand fish are generally only two to three meters long, while the sand dragon is more than twice as long and weighs more than ten times as much.
Just pull it onto the boat?
Don't capsize this Sand Dragon Maru.
Noticing Fu Fu's hesitation, the captain, who had just fixed the balance pole, waved at her vigorously.
Fu Fu quickly ran over with the fish fillet.
The captain said quickly: "Your job will be to stay on the deck. The sand dragon is much more flexible than the sand fish and is also good at jumping. It is very likely to jump onto the deck.
You are responsible for driving them off the ship to prevent them from harming the people on board or damaging the ship, understand?"
Fufu nodded rapidly.
Although she was not very sure as a novice, she still remembered that the sand dragon was classified as a "small monster located in the middle and lower levels of the desert ecology" in the illustration book.
I should be fine, right?
Then she saw from afar a gray-yellow monster with a strange flat triangular head and a body much longer than a small sand boat leaping out of the sand sea.
When it fell back into the sea of sand, it stirred up large sand waves.
Fu Fu: “.”
Nima's almost ten-meter-long small monster? The scribes responsible for compiling the illustrated guide! Let's see what you wrote!
Yucha's legs were shaking.
We agreed to come here to catch sand fish, although sand fish and sand dragon only differ by one character, but suddenly the activity changed from fishing to hunting dragons.
Isn't this increase in danger a bit too much?
But the current situation did not allow them to refuse. Fu Fu swallowed hard, took out the hunting bow behind her, unfolded it, and put on a heavy arrow.
Fish Chop also pulled out his bone cat pick, was silent for two seconds, and then put it back.
"I am a 'pacifist' meow, so I'll leave the fighting to you meow. I'll be in charge of the healing and support work meow!"
Fu Fu's eyes twitched, but she didn't force it. With this guy's fighting level, he would only cause trouble even if they fought side by side.
"Go find Xianglan quickly! If we are attacked soon, I can still take responsibility if I can't defeat it!"
"Leave it to me, meow!"
Fish Chop completed this task which was not dangerous at all happily and got into the cabin in no time.
"I have to discipline this disloyal guy from now on." Fu Fu muttered, turning her gaze towards the direction of the group of sand dragons.
After sailing for a while, the large fishing boat Sand Dragon Maru was already very close to the group of sand dragons, and the small sand boats scattered around also gathered together.
The fleet began to accelerate and rushed towards the group of sand dragons.
The group of sand dragons were obviously a little panicked.
The more than 30-meter-long sand dragon ball is definitely a giant in the sand sea. In the eyes of those sand dragons with not very high IQs, it is quite intimidating.
Perhaps they regarded the fishing fleet as another group of monsters coming to seize their territory.
"Disperse them!" the captain shouted and accelerated the Salon Maru.
The fishermen on the deck were also howling and beating the gongs in their hands with all their might, and the harpooners kept hitting the side of the boat with their iron harpoons.
The harsh and noisy metallic noise even drowned out the howling of the wind and sand. To the sand dragons with sensitive hearing, this was a very terrifying noise.
The fishermen's plan was carried out quite smoothly. A group of four or five sand dragons fled in all directions under the impact of the fishing fleet.
The fishing fleet locked onto one of the fish and sped up to catch up.
Two small, flexible and light sand boats left the queue and approached the selected sand dragon from the left and right sides respectively.
The sand dragon is not a docile herbivorous species like the herbivorous dragon or the Bobo, but a ferocious predatory monster, and of course it will not surrender obediently.
Faced with the surrounding enemies, it jumped up and smashed into one of the small sand boats.
Given its size and power, if it hits a small sand boat, the boat will be destroyed and people will die.
However, the operators of the two small sand boats were well prepared. The moment the sand dragon jumped, they immediately turned sharply to the side and pulled away, leaving the sand dragon empty-handed.
Then, another sand boat accelerated and approached from the side, and the harpooner at the bow threw the harpoon in his hand with force.
The sharp harpoon pierced into the sand dragon's back, and the barb at the tip firmly stuck to the sand dragon's flesh.
Upon seeing this, the operator of the small sand boat immediately adjusted the sail to slow down, and the rope connecting the bow and the harpoon was quickly straightened, dragging the sand boat behind the sand dragon.
The severe pain caused the sand dragon to twist and struggle, but it was unable to escape.
Soon, with the hits of the second and third harpoons, more small sand boats were dragged behind the sand dragon.
Covered in blood, it finally couldn't swim anymore and lay on its side on the sand, gasping for breath.
The fishermen cheered.
Several sturdy harpooners, armed with long-handled harpoons and wearing special sand boots, approached cautiously.
The next steps were relatively simple, but they also did not dare to let their guard down. It was true that the sand dragon was seriously injured, but it was not dead after all.
On the Sand Dragon Maru, the second prince watched all this with envy.
This sand dragon was caught by those small sand boats at great risk. If you try to intervene now, you will be looked down upon.
The wailing and struggling sand dragon looked somewhat miserable, but Fu Fu was not so sympathetic as to feel overwhelmed with sympathy for this guy.
There are so many sand dragons in the sand sea that it has become a disaster. The Rocklak Guild has been carrying out missions to subdue groups of sand dragons. These fishermen have successfully hunted sand dragons and can even ask for a reward from the guild in return.
The other harpooner next to him retracted his envious gaze and said to Fu Fu with a smile: "The sand dragon's body is full of treasures. The skin can be made into high-quality fur goods, and the scales, fins, and teeth are also useful.
Although the meat is not very tasty, the liver is a fantastic delicacy. Keep it fresh and bring it back to Rocklak. There are many merchants willing to pay a high price for it!
But they have to hurry. If they delay too long, the smell of blood will attract other monsters.
The companions of that sand dragon are still nearby, and they might come to take revenge. If another sand dragon king comes, it will be even more troublesome."
"Attention! There are several sand dragons coming at the seven o'clock direction!" The lookout's roar interrupted the harpooner's chatter.
"F*ck! And there's also a particularly large one, the Sand Dragon King?!"
"You crow mouth!"
