Chapter 487. 487. Ocean: Siege

Everyone looked at the fish demon on the ground and felt a little intrusive, but because of the existence of gloves, they felt a little comforted psychologically.

Coupled with Poirot's promise to add money to them afterwards, they mustered up the courage to lift up the fish demon and the fishing nets, and quickly threw them into the large bucket filled with waterproof paint.

This method was heard by Poirot from a captain from Sea Whale Island.

The reason why the smell of waterproof paint can drive away the fish monster is mainly because there is an ingredient in it that can stun the fish monster.

Therefore, it is better to say 'fear' rather than 'drive away'.

The fish demon dare not touch the waterproof paint, fearing that it will lose consciousness and be slaughtered by others.

The waterproof paint applied to the hull has dried, so it smells, but it is not obvious.

In addition, the fish demon is in the water, and it breathes the oxygen in the water, so this has no effect on their actions.

It would take at least an hour or two for the fish monster to die of hypoxia and lose its attack power through normal means, which is a waste of time.

But if they were thrown into a water-proof paint solution with a higher concentration, they would not die, but would instantly become unconscious and lose consciousness. This efficiency was obviously much faster.

Seeing that the fish demon, which was still full of vitality, disappeared instantly after entering the barrel, everyone was stunned and puzzled, and at the same time excitedly fished the fish demon out of it, and then took out the ' Purple Pearl'.

As the name suggests, purple pearls are about the same size as ordinary pearls, the difference lies in the color.

This is a kind of light purple, looking at the color, it gives people a dark and magnificent strange beauty.

If you can observe through sunlight, you can actually find that the purple pearl is actually somewhat transparent, but it is not very obvious, and you must find it under extremely high brightness.

"It turns out that this is a purple pearl. Apart from the color, it looks no different from ordinary pearls."

"Indeed, I thought the purple pearl would be very big, but I didn't expect it to be so small... Just such a small pearl, can it really be worth thousands of ordinary pearls?"

"Who knows, that's what everyone says anyway."

……

With this quick method, everyone cheered up quickly, fished out all the fish monsters, put them into a large bucket filled with waterproof paint solution to make them faint, and then began to collect pearls.

In just one afternoon, everyone was too busy to eat dinner, and finally counted the number of pearls - a total of 560 three!
If this is an ordinary pearl, then they must have lost blood.

But this is a purple pearl!
A purple pearl worth a thousand!

This is equivalent to just one afternoon, they earned five 10,000+ ordinary pearls! !

After everyone calculated this number, they undoubtedly fell into a state close to madness.

Even Captain Poirot, who had always been calm and self-sufficient, felt that his breathing became a little short, and his complexion began to turn red. He didn't know whether it was excitement or something...

But after all, he can be the captain of a large fleet, and his psychological quality is still very good.

After he calmed down, he vaguely discovered something strange in his heart.

Before he could think too much, a person walked up to him——

"Hey, Poirot, are you unhappy? This is 50!" The person who spoke was the deputy captain of the ship, and also his old partner who had been the captain for more than ten years.

He is the most trusted person and also his indispensable right-hand man.

After seeing him, Poirot felt a little more relaxed, "Of course I'm happy, you know, even if the part allocated to the nobles and crew is excluded, we can still get at least 20."

The vice-captain laughed loudly.

He reached out and patted Poirot on the shoulder. The relationship between the two was as friendly as it had been in the past ten years.

Poirot regarded the abnormality in his heart as the discomfort of seeing the fish monster today, so he quickly put it behind him.

He didn't notice at all what his trusted old partner did when he didn't find out.

……

……

late at night.

Except for the crew who are in charge of steering and guiding the way, and the crew who are on duty to watch the night, everyone is sleeping.

Because of the harvest during the day, tonight is an excellent day for everyone.

Many people even dreamed of those bright purple pearls at night, and they unconsciously showed satisfied smiles on their faces.

'Wow--'

The loud sound of water woke some people up.

When they recalled that they were at sea, these people fell asleep again in a daze...it was just the sound of sea water churning...not surprising...

'Wow--'

There was another sound of waves rolling, but this time the sound would obviously be more violent than the last time.

Just this moment, almost everyone was woken up.

If they hadn't woken up and found themselves lying comfortably in the crew room, they would have wondered if the ship had been submerged by sea water.

Otherwise, why this voice is like a stormy sea, as if it is right next to my ear, again and again...

"what--"

"These—they're crazy—"

Not long after the sound of the tide subsided, everyone heard the exclamation above the deck.

This was evidently the sound of those on the night watch.

Hearing the shouts from the people outside, everyone had a bad feeling inexplicably in their hearts.

Especially when they found that the ship seemed to be shaking faintly, this premonition became even stronger.

As the captain, Poirot, who needed to organize the overall situation, was naturally the first to get up. He rushed to the deck, followed by the ship's lights, and saw a scene that would leave a lifetime of shadows——

Countless fish monsters are densely packed around their boat, a pair of red fish eyes glowing red in the night, looking down from a distance, thousands of fish eyes are staring straight at the direction of the boat... It's only part of it.

Another part of the fish monsters they couldn't see had already sunk into the bottom of the sea, frantically crashing into the ship with their bodies, which is why everyone felt shaking just now.

Although the strength of the collision is not particularly obvious now, after all, a fish monster is only that small in size, even if it is bigger and more powerful than ordinary fish, it is impossible to easily shake a large ship.

Especially with so many things and people on board, the weight is difficult to estimate.

But what if all the fish monsters around join in the collision attack?

Poirot felt that he had encountered the greatest crisis of his captaincy.

Many people woke up, and they all came to the deck to check the situation like Poirot.

Everyone was terrified by this ghost story-like scene, and the timid ones even sat down on the ground, almost fainting directly.

Poirot wanted to faint, but his status did not allow it.

If he also fainted, the ship would really fall under the siege of so many fish monsters.
