Chapter 2253: It's really fragrant

The sky gradually brightened. This was the second day Su Xiao arrived at the Viking Sea, and it was still a cloudy day.

In the captain's cabin of the Doom Ship, Su Xiao looked at the nautical chart on the table. The price of this nautical chart was not cheap, but most of the area was blank, only marking the land where each kingdom was located, as well as famous shipping routes.

A nautical chart containing the entire Viking Sea could perhaps only be possessed by various kingdoms and legendary pirate groups.

So far, among the three legendary pirate groups, Su Xiao had only come into contact with one, which was the Black Sea King. The opponent's pirate group didn't have a name or anything; the title Black Sea King represented a group with 17 large ships and over 5,000 pirates.

Su Xiao didn't plan to contact those three legendary pirate groups for the time being, but if he wanted to find Terror Island, contacting them was the fastest way.

In the cognition of most civilians and pirates, Terror Island didn't exist at all. The only ones who could come into contact with this island were a small number of first-class pirate groups, the three legendary pirate groups, or high-level officials of various kingdoms.

What was on Terror Island was unknown for the time being. Su Xiao's idea was that with a 15-day stay limit, he planned to spend 5 days looking for the Ancient God and the remaining 10 days focusing on the location of Terror Island.

Having the Doom Ship was Su Xiao's advantage, so he had to make good use of this advantage.

Thinking of this, Su Xiao picked up a green fruit on the table. Just as he was about to taste it, a shaking sensation appeared.

Su Xiao walked quickly out of the captain's cabin. On the deck, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu were at the stern of the ship, looking at the sea surface below.

Rumble~

The entire Doom Ship trembled, as if it had been dragged backward by something.

A sea beast was dragging the Doom Ship backward. As for why this happened, it was because Su Xiao had tied an arm-thick cable to the stern of the ship. The other end of the cable was a four-clawed hook nearly a meter wide, with a large piece of fresh meat hanging on it, which had been thrown into the water.

This cable mixed with metal wires alone cost Su Xiao 94 gold coins. It was bought from a pirate group that had just suffered a crushing defeat; otherwise, they would never have sold this cable specifically used for hunting sea beasts.

The Doom Ship needed to devour extraordinary sea beasts to grow. Yesterday, they sailed for nearly an afternoon without encountering any sea beasts, so Su Xiao started fishing for sea beasts. Since the sea beasts wouldn't take the initiative to attack, he would fish for them.

The wooden rope wheel fixed at the stern of the ship rotated rapidly, and some parts even started to smoke. The cable wound on it was quickly dragged into the sea.

Amu stepped forward, grabbed the cable with one hand, and started dragging backward, while Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang rotated the wooden rope wheel to wind up the cable that Amu had pulled back.

This was the way to hunt sea beasts that Su Xiao had learned from the pirates. Even if his strength was strong enough, he wouldn't rashly enter the sea to fight sea beasts in the seawater.

The sea was the home field of sea beasts. Heaven knew what abilities these extraordinary sea beasts had and how strong they were. If he rashly leaped into the sea, he might capsize if he wasn't careful.

So Su Xiao let Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu fish for sea beasts. After the sea beast took the bait, if it didn't approach the Doom Ship, it would sooner or later be worn out by Amu and finally devoured by the Doom Ship. Wrestling with a bull, the sea beast probably hadn't woken up yet.

As for the sea beast swimming to the sea surface to attack the Doom Ship, that would be even better. Su Xiao would slash out a blade glow, and medium-range combat was completely fine.

"Moo!"

Amu roared, holding the cable with both hands, dragging backward with all its might. The cable made the ship's side creak.

After dragging backward for a few meters, the force on Amu's hand loosened, and the cable in its hand was quickly dragged into the sea. After releasing about a dozen meters, it gripped the cable tightly again, repeating the cycle to consume the sea beast's stamina.

At this time, 40 meters under the sea, a huge black shadow was swimming through the sea. A cable bound it, making it unable to swim back to the deep sea.

Through the faint light under the sea, one could see that the sea beast was a giant octopus. Its body was bloated, and those tentacles were over a dozen meters long, with many parasitic shellfish on the suckers.

An undercurrent emerged under the sea. The octopus twisted its huge body, trying to break the cable. Unfortunately, this thing was born for hunting sea beasts. Don't say this was a sea beast that looked like an octopus; even if it had a mouth full of sharp teeth, it couldn't bite through this cable.

The octopus wasn't an intelligent creature, so it only had one thought now: escape.

One hour later.

On the Doom Ship, Amu had been fishing for sea beasts for nearly an hour without even panting. At this time, it was dragging the cable with all its might, wanting to end the battle quickly. The main sail of the Doom Ship had been retracted, and it was being dragged backward.

The muscles on Amu's arms and upper body bulged. After more than ten minutes of dragging, an octopus tentacle broke through the sea surface and wrapped around the Doom Ship, and the ship began to tilt.

This tentacle had just wrapped around the Doom Ship when the following tentacles followed closely, looking like it was going to break the Doom Ship into two and drag it into the sea.

Seeing this, Amu's eyes widened. It threw down the cable in its hand and pressed one hand on the deck.

Crack crack crack~

Cold ice spread, freezing the Doom Ship on the sea surface. The next moment, the ice layer cracked, and the octopus's round head was exposed to the sea surface, its big mouth with layers of sharp teeth roaring.

Su Xiao pulled out the long blade at his waist. The blood energy on his body immediately attracted the octopus. A tentacle slapped toward Su Xiao. That tentacle, nearly a meter thick, could be said to be powerful.

The octopus was very vigilant; after all, it had encountered an "evenly matched" opponent.

Five minutes later.

Sizzle~

A wisp of blue smoke rose from the grill, the charcoal below was red, and tender octopus foot meat was placed on it, the fragrance enticing.

"This is really fragrant."

Bahar swallowed its saliva. Behind it were Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Benny, those two pairs of longing eyes, looking like they were waiting to be fed.

As for Amu, it was too hungry and had already started eating octopus sashimi.

Su Xiao stood in front of the grill. This thing wasn't easy to use. If you didn't grasp the heat, it was easy to burn the octopus feet. After all, it was second-hand goods. Considering that the lame man packed a large pile of daily necessities and sold them for 1 gold coin, there was nothing to pick on about second-hand goods.

A piece of octopus foot cut into four sections was placed on the deck, occupying a considerable area. And under the ship, the octopus cut into two sections was being entangled by large tree root-like tentacles, gradually withering. The Doom Ship was devouring this sea beast.

On the deck, Su Xiao picked up a piece of hot octopus meat and chewed it slowly in his mouth. Although no seasoning was added, as an extraordinary creature, this octopus meat was very chewy. Facts proved that even without any seasoning, as long as the ingredients were fresh enough, the taste wouldn't be bad.

Originally, he wanted to eat octopus meat for lunch, which was much more delicious than dried meat. Unfortunately, it wasn't noon yet, and the octopus whiskers were already smelly, which made Amu very sad, and it kept guarding the stern of the ship, waiting for other sea beasts to take the bait.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang lay lazily on the deck and yawned. The octopus hunted this time was an extraordinary creature, and it was an extraordinary creature from a medium-to-high-tier world. Therefore, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's Advanced Creature (Active x) ability was triggered, and its attributes were slowly improving.

The benefits of hunting sea beasts were improved, not only with the chance to obtain treasure chests and improve the Doom Ship, but more importantly, it could improve Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's attributes and abilities. ===== CHAPTER 2254 =====
