There are two sea hunting grounds in Dark Harbor.
One area is within 30 nautical miles of the coastline and is called the inner hunting ground.
A certain area of sea is 30 nautical miles away and within 100 nautical miles, which is called the outer hunting ground.
Undoubtedly, the rewards in the inner hunting grounds are not as good as those in the outer hunting grounds, and the rewards in the outer hunting grounds are not as good as those in free navigation.
Everyone knows this fact.
But there is another fact that must be understood.
That is, only residents of Dark Harbor who have the authority to enter the island area are qualified to go to the outer hunting grounds or sail freely.
The same is true for sea-going ships. They must be registered in the island area before they can enter and exit hunting grounds and have the qualification to sail freely.
It has been more than three months since Tang Ling came to the Port of Darkness. Is he qualified to enter the island area? At least not yet.
But Tang Ling didn't think this was an unfair thing. Instead, he thought it was a rare mercy in Dark Harbor.
Why? Gains and risks coexist, and those who don’t have the strength will die!
Don't underestimate human greed and gambling. If there are no compulsory measures, speculators will emerge in endlessly. With the mortality rate remaining high, Dark Harbor cannot maintain its current prosperity.
After all, talent is the foundation of prosperity.
"Hey, boy, what are you thinking about?" The sea breeze in the early morning is extremely refreshing. The sun has just risen and has not yet emitted the scorching temperature, so the wind has not been contaminated by the scorching heat. On the human body, the slightest coolness is the best enjoyment.
Tang Ling was standing on the deck, one leg on the side of the ship, holding a cigarette and looking at the sea at the moment, looking very much like an old sailor.
"I didn't think about anything. I just thought that people in this era are braver." Tang Ling smiled and generously threw a cigarette to the sailor who greeted him.
Don't underestimate any sailor on the ship. If you don't have the strength of a first-order Purple Moon warrior, you must have two brushes to be qualified to board the ship.
Just like Tang Ling, he went to the black market to register as a mercenary, and then he followed Boss Huang's instructions and went to the Black Market's territory to look for tasks.
He soon discovered that any money-making mission had to do with getting on a ship and going to sea.
Tang Ling went there just for the money, and naturally wanted to take on this kind of mission, but he ran into trouble because he was not a first-order Purple Moon warrior, and the old-fashioned old man who issued the mission didn't give him the mission at all.
But fortunately he is Tang Ling!
Tang Ling had some small achievements in the Port of Darkness and was very popular.
As a result, the manager quickly recognized Tang Ling and gave Tang Ling the mission qualification.
So, getting on board is pretty demanding, isn't it
Tang Ling smoked a cigarette and smiled thinking about this. It seems that reputation is somewhat useful. If you do well on the ship, fifty Black Sea coins a day will not be a problem.
"Of course people in the Ziyue era were brave. How can people not tap into their own potential without going through desperate situations?" Taking Tang Ling's cigarette, the gray-haired old sailor lit it. His expression seemed unconcerned. It was very frivolous, but there was no joke in the tone.
"Is this a desperate situation now?" Tang Ling asked casually.
"Of course not, what kind of desperate situation is this?! But the moment one day comes, it is a desperate situation! The most difficult life after the end of the world is a desperate situation." Two thick smoke dragons came out of the old sailor's nose, and then he opened his mouth He smiled a little wildly: "For the pre-civilized troops, I heard that when the death rate reached a certain level, the entire army collapsed."
"But that's not absolute, but if there is peace for too long, people's hearts will become fearful. Like our ancient ancestors, would they care about the mortality issue just for the sake of stuttering?"
"For example, in the previous civilization, there was a country whose troops collapsed after hundreds of people died. But there was also a big country in difficulty that had just experienced difficulties, but beat the powerful country with flesh and blood, and finally drew a bottom line that could not be crossed. Theirs A troop, facing carpet bombings and enemy charges one after another, insists on defending a hilltop, what is the mortality rate?" The old sailor narrowed his eyes.
Tang Ling glanced at the old sailor's profile. He was talking about pre-civilization things again, mostly about war.
But he never mentioned the war of this era.
So is there no war in this era? have! Wars between major forces, facing various beast tides, insect tides, and wars among underground races are happening every day.
Even if it is a small Safe Zone No. 17, there is still a battlefield hidden behind Hope Cliff.
Tang Ling had reason to believe that this old sailor was a man with a story.
"So, there is nothing brave or not. It is habit and adaptation. Never doubt the adaptability of human beings. Doctors will calm down when they are used to seeing corpses. A soldier will forget that he can survive after three years on the battlefield. Nervousness, the rest is experience. In the Ziyue era, human beings were fighting every day. They had no time to be pretentious, so they could only be so-called brave." The old sailor took another puff of cigarette. His lung capacity was very good, and he drank half of it in two puffs. A cigarette.
"Odeen, have you ever fought in a war?" Tang Ling suddenly asked.
This old sailor's name was Ou Dien, and he was Tang Ling's old partner.
O'Dean looked at Tang Ling and smiled. Tang Ling had asked him this question more than once, but he had dealt with it every time. This time was no exception. He was about to say something.
The captain's voice came from the loudspeaker on the ship: "Guys, a school of fish has appeared. What should we do? No doubt, pick up the tools in your hands and do a good job! Roddy was beaten by the son of a bitch yesterday The most valuable fish were caught by the number, and the largest number of fish were caught by the Sasha Clown. If you don’t give me a big reward today, I swear I will deduct your wages.”
"Son of a bitch!!"
Obviously, this captain has such a rough style. If he doesn't swear or threaten, he will be very uncomfortable.
Tang Ling was used to hearing him curse a few words during the 'morning fish party'.
"It's time to work." O'Dean took the lead and put out the cigarette butt and put it into the small bag on his waist.
It is the piety of sailors and fishermen not to throw any garbage into the sea.
Tang Ling was also convinced. He also put out the cigarette butt and put it into a small bag. It's a way of repaying a favor, right? What humans should learn is to be grateful and cherish.
At this time, O'Dean had chosen a forward position and picked up a huge spear gun in his hand.
There were also three or five spearguns pointed at his feet.
Compared with the elegant spearguns of previous civilizations, this speargun was huge, ten meters long and about one meter thick. The sharp barb in front of the speargun showed its power.
Moreover, the entire main body of the speargun is made of B-grade alloy, which is hard enough to deal with the marine fish that appear in the inner hunting ground. Although it is not completely solid, the weight has reached 500 kilograms, which is impossible for ordinary people in pre-civilized times. Imagine.
After all, the previous civilized heavyweight weightlifting record was only over 200 kilograms. It was difficult to lift this speargun, let alone throw it.
Holding the speargun, Odeon's muscles swelled, giving him a rock-like texture. At this time, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, staring at the sea.
Tang Ling smiled and raised a speargun. Although the sea was still quiet now, schools of fish would appear after a while, and the opportunity was often fleeting.
A 500-kilogram speargun is a bit heavy, but what does it matter to Tang Ling, who can wield a thousand-kilogram sledgehammer? What's more, that was only when he first came to the Port of Darkness, but now Tang Ling has completely comprehended the power of nine cows and two tigers.
In terms of strength, even if it is not as good as the first-order Ziyue warrior, it is not much different.
"Coming!" Suddenly, a sailor standing unwillingly beside Tang Ling and the others shouted wildly. As he shouted wildly, the calm sea surface suddenly became rippled, and a huge fish with a length of more than ten meters emerged from the water. Jumping up, the signal for today’s early hunting in the inner hunting ground started!
Tang Ling saw this scene on the first day he came to the Port of Darkness!
Now, he has had more than half a month of working experience on the ship, and when he saw it again, he was still very excited.
As the sailor shouted, more than a dozen boats appeared, and hundreds of spear guns with chains were thrown out from these boats.
Entering the Purple Moon Era, several so-called 'fish kings' will appear in large fish schools. If you want to catch fish schools, the best way is to control the fish kings. No matter what, you have to control the fish kings. 'Strong Fish'.
If the fish king is controlled, the fish will naturally swim with the fish king. Even if the strong fish is controlled, some fish will swim with it.
Controlling the King of Fishes requires luck, but according to inaccurate experience, it is usually the King of Fishes that jumps out of the water first.
Naturally, no one wanted to miss this opportunity.
Even if according to the constant rules of the inner hunting ground, the first fish to appear are the weakest white-horned beasts, but it is precisely because there are many groups of white-horned beasts in the Dark Port that this hunting ground is formed.
Why? Because of the food chain! White-horned beasts are delicacies for many marine fish. When they appear in groups, they will definitely attract other ferocious predators, and behind the predators there are predators.
It is equivalent to controlling the white-horned beast and controlling a food chain. This is the most enjoyable thing!
Instead, the fish king who formed the white-horned beast was the scene with the most snatches.
It's a pity that the white-horned beast is obviously at the bottom of the food chain, and the fish school is large enough, but their fish king is rare.
It's because they are quite cunning and want to see it only two or three times in a hundred episodes.
People can only regard the one who jumps out of the water first as the king of fish based on experience.
Because of these experiences, Tang Ling was not anxious at all when the white-horned beasts appeared. Instead, he set his sights on the southeast.
"Don't vote?" Compared to Tang Ling's calmness, Ou Dean was a little anxious.
What if it was the King of Fishes who jumped out of the water first? Then they didn't even throw the speargun, wouldn't they regret it to death
"Instead of gambling on luck, it's better to get a guaranteed ticket." There was a smile on Tang Ling's lips.
As soon as he heard Tang Ling's words, O'Dean's heart beat violently.
Why would he, an old sailor, get so close to such a boy? Even became a partner with him
It's because this kid has many magical places and endless methods that others can't imagine. Odeon has personally seen it.
Whenever Tang Ling said he wanted to do something big, and he could achieve it more than five times out of ten, how could Ou Dean not be excited
This success rate is already very high.
"Boy, don't hide your thoughts." O'Dean glanced around and whispered.
"Pay attention to the southeast. I came to the conclusion after observing for two days. Recently, the soul-killing whales have been very active, and the probability of appearing in fishing grounds is more than 90%. Moreover, they usually appear in the southeast. They like to prey on white horns. Beasts, because white-horned beasts like to jump out of the water, they can also." Tang Ling also said in a low voice, it is always not good for the plan to be heard.
"Come on, you don't need to tell me this. Schools of idiot fish like white-horned beasts don't know what to do, they just like to jump out of the water and toss." O'Dean was already excited and his eyes were looking to the southeast.
It is impossible for someone without experience to discover this kind of thing.
It's rare that this guy Tang Ling also observed it, this was their chance! Moreover, this guy's timing for taking action is the most accurate, and he can always observe the most subtle details.
The soul-killing whales in this season are very valuable, and there is even a saying about whale gambling.
Why? The corpse of the soul-killing whale that is pulled up will not be disemboweled first, but will be left to the buyer's bidding.
If the soul-soothing incense is opened in the whale's belly, the bet is up.
If not, it will naturally be a loss, but it is not a pure loss. After all, there are many usable parts of such a large whale carcass.
Of course, only this season's soul-killing whales can bet on it.
This is somewhat similar to the sperm whale of pre-civilization, but the soul-killing whale is not a mutation of a sperm whale. The soul-soothing incense it produces is completely different from the ambergris produced by the mutant sperm whale.
Of course, ambergris is also very precious. After the sperm whale mutated, ambergris also underwent subtle changes.
Tang Ling stared at the southeast while thinking about how he would make a big fortune next if today's hunting was really successful.
Of course, I also remembered the past.
When he first fell into a dream, Kun ordered ambergris and hinted that because of Ziyue, some things were no longer as rare as in pre-civilizations.
It's a pity that I was stupid at that time
Just when Tang Ling thought of this, a water bubble appeared on the sea surface. The water bubble was neither big nor small. With the fish appearing one after another, it was easy to ignore it. But at this time, Tang Ling shouted: "Ou Dean, take action! Southeast direction, XXX coordinates are 270 meters away!”
O'Dean's spirit was shaken, and he suddenly let out a roaring sound. His muscles tightened suddenly, and he threw a speargun in the direction Tang Ling said.
Because of the relationship between weight and speed, a huge whistling sound was heard the moment the speargun was thrown.
At the same time, it also aroused ridicule from several people around him: "Odean, are you practicing your strength in the air?"
O'Dean was too lazy to pay attention. As soon as they finished speaking, a huge water column appeared on the sea.
As usual, the fish king of the white-horned beast is not the one that jumps out of the water first. The sailors on each boat are even busier to control the fish kings and strong fish of various schools of fish.
As a result, the sea surface became turbulent, and the huge ship was also swaying, looking like it was about to capsize at any time.
Tang Ling, however, stood firm. He had even gotten used to the swaying feeling of the sea on the first day and didn't feel any discomfort at all.
It was at this time, when only a few people noticed the water column, that Tang Ling took action.
Compared to the strong man Ou Dean, Tang Ling's strength was much smaller, but that didn't stop him from throwing the speargun heavily towards the target, making a roaring sound.
However, Ou Dien's speargun was thrown out before Tang Ling, and it was still rising, so it was obviously still powerful.
Tang Ling's speargun seemed a little weak.
But no one doubted Tang Ling's speargun throwing ability. At this moment, he picked up another speargun.
The boy's naked upper body does not appear to be so exaggerated, but also emits a sense of power and beauty.
Under the sun, beads of sweat glistened on his muscles. Tang Ling roared and threw the second speargun.
Then the second speargun hit a certain point of the first speargun perfectly, and the power of the first speargun immediately became full.
Tang Ling roared, pulled the chain of the second speargun, dragged the speargun back with one hand, and threw the third speargun with the other hand.
In this way, Tang Ling threw four spearguns in sequence. Except for the first one, the other three were all used to add power to the first speargun. No matter the strength, angle, or timing, they were all perfect and amazing!
This is Tang Ling, this magical boy.
O'Dean felt a little emotional. It was this move that shocked O'Dean in the first place, allowing him to see that he could do things that others could not imagine even if he had little strength.
Odeon was stunned for a moment, but soon his speargun chain felt a strange heaviness.
Odeon raised his head suddenly, and his speargun hit the body of a soul-killing whale!
"I'm hit, damn, I'm hit!" O'Dean quickly tightened the chain of the speargun and began to try to control the soul-killing whale.
No doubt, at times like this, other sailors must help! I hit a soul-killing whale, if it's the King of Fishes
What the hell, it’s the King of Fishes!
When the soul-suppressing whale was pulled, at least five soul-suppressing whales swam over.
There will certainly not be too many whales in the pod, but the value of each one, especially in this season, is simply incomparable.
"Damn, look what we got?" The captain's excited voice came from the loudspeaker.
But at this time, O'Dean's face changed. He was known as a strong man, and there were so many people helping him, but he felt that the spear gun was about to detach. The power of this Soul-Suppressing Whale was too great.
However, at this moment, with a 'pop' sound, Tang Ling's speargun also penetrated into the body of the Soul-Suppressing Whale.
Moreover, the insertion position was very clever, which made the fish king very uncomfortable. If it wanted to break away from Ou Dian's speargun, it should not try to break away from Tang Ling's speargun, because it could not use that force.
"That's great, dear Don! Guys, what are you still doing? As long as we harvest these soul-killing whales today, we will already be the kings. Go and help me, do you hear me? ?Help!" The captain was almost hoarse with excitement.
At this time, all the sailors in charge of spearguns on the whole ship rushed over and divided into two groups to help Ou Dien and Tang Ling control the Fish King.
The fish king who suppresses the soul of the whale! Tang Ling felt that his luck was really good, and it exploded today!
Feeling the huge and irresistible force coming from the chain, Tang Ling almost lost his grip on the chain in his hand and was about to be pulled into the sea.
But soon, there were many helping hands controlling the chains, shouting slogans in order, and began to forcibly control the fish king, leading the fish group to swim towards the best position for them to hunt and close the net.
The beauty of strength is vividly displayed on the ship, with bulging muscles, bulging veins, passionate chants, and beads of sweat under the sun. Even the female sailors have good muscles and huge strength.
Tang Ling loved this feeling of excitement.
"Pull!"
"Hold on!"
A roar like the waves resounded throughout the ship. At this time, the captain had appeared, together with the first mate on the ship, the number one master besides the captain.
"Son of a bitch, there are two ships trying to steal our victory! Are you convinced?" The captain yelled at this time.
"I'm not convinced!" the crew members said in unison.
"Yes, it's impossible! The King of Fishes is in our hands, and their chance of success is as small as a cat's fart! But to be on the safe side, the first mate and I personally lowered the net." The captain roared again, and sure enough, he took the A large net made of precious materials is almost the most precious possession of a fishing boat.
In this era of fishing, not just any fishing net can do the job.
Waves of cheers erupted from the boat, while the boat and the first mate pulled the net, jumped out of the boat, came to the rough sea, stepped directly on the water, and ran towards the location of the fish. past.
"Come on everyone, cooperate with the captain, it depends on whether you can make a lot of money today." The second officer on the ship is in charge of command at the moment, and he must also pay attention to the movements on other ships.
Only Tang Ling was in a relaxed mood at this moment, thinking about the captain's 'cat fart' metaphor, which was a bit funny.
The scene of early hunting is intense, because every day when I come to the inner hunting ground, I don’t see early hunting every time.
The captain lowers the net, which means that things have reached the most critical point. Everyone must cooperate with the captain to control the fish king, um, a soul-killing whale king.
However, there was nothing unexpected. The boat Tang Ling was on was quite powerful. How could he let the cooked duck fly when he controlled the Fish King
In the end, with the cooperation of everyone, this group of Soul-Suppressing Whales successfully captured five Soul-Suppressing Whales, leaving one male, two females, and three small ones, and they were spared.
There are rules when it comes to fishing, you can’t kill them all, and you can’t hunt the larvae! Over the past thousands of years, have humans learned too few lessons through blood and tears? The arrival of the end has made many people increasingly believe that this is retribution!
On the contrary, in some ancient rules, they are much more civilized than pre-civilized people.
"Big harvest!" As soon as the captain got on the boat, he raised one arm, extended his index finger, made a slightly nervous gesture, and then announced the result.
The whole ship cheered.
O'Dean placed his palm heavily on Tang Ling's shoulder, but Tang Ling was very calm.
"The first achievement is undoubtedly our strongman Odeon and the magical boy Tang!" the captain announced loudly.
Everyone was so excited that they threw the two people up.
The captain shouted: "Release all the power and return home! But there are five big guys, our ship has to work hard to pull it!"
