Chapter 23
The Squid Sea Monster, Ye Fan's Preparations
Even more extreme claims are made that a massive change is taking place beneath the ocean, with countless terrifying monsters awakening, and that this storm is merely a harbinger of the end times!
Regarding what had just happened, all sorts of things were said in the regional channel. For a time, everyone was on edge, and panic and anxiety spread in everyone's hearts.
Even though the entire regional channel was so lively right now, Ye Fan himself was completely unaware. He had just finished eating two pieces of treasure fish meat, and his stomach was bulging. The feeling of fullness made him feel extremely satisfied.
To taste such delicious food under such extreme weather conditions is undoubtedly an unforgettable experience in one's life.
Somewhat surprisingly, Ye Fan did not immediately undergo any extraordinary changes after eating the treasure fish meat. He did not know the reason for this and could only wait and see.
[Ding! Gu Lingling has gifted you a barbecue grill blueprint, 4 wood blocks, and 1 bottle of mineral water!]
[Note: Thank you so much for the fish last night, bro. My boat has been sunk and I have no chance of survival. I don't have any supplies right now, so I'm giving them all to you.]
......
Just after Ye Fan sat on the boat for a while, a transaction message suddenly popped up in front of him. Surprisingly, this transaction did not involve trading anything with him; it was just a one-sided gift.
After reading the contents with some skepticism, a hint of helplessness flashed in Ye Fan's eyes.
He vaguely remembered Gu Lingling; he had traded a spring mattress with her last night, and to avoid taking advantage of her, he had given her two sea fish in return.
But what was unexpected was that... before the other ship was sunk, it was still thinking of itself.
I really feel quite emotional.
Although I haven't been in this world for long, I've met quite a few people, including CS players like Fang Hong and people who value relationships like Gu Lingling.
"I can only pray that you'll be alright."
Ye Fan thought for a moment, then sent a thank you message to Gu Lingling in the message box, and didn't say anything else.
First of all, it's impossible that he would turn back to rescue her just because she sent him these supplies, nor would he give her the only waterproof fish skin coat he had on him.
This world is cruel, and even Ye Fan himself has to admit that.
After sending the message, Ye Fan suddenly felt the bottom of the ship tremble, as if it had hit something. At first, he thought it was a reef on the seabed, so he didn't pay any attention to it. But then he realized something was wrong.
The surrounding seawater is being pushed aside, and a huge object is emerging from the sea!
"Holy crap! What the hell is this thing?"
Through the glass of the captain's cabin, Ye Fan saw a huge squid head emerging from the sea ahead. The head was roughly two or three meters wide, and the two large eyeballs were about a meter in diameter!
It appeared so abruptly in front of him, it was incredibly bizarre. This made Ye Fan feel nauseous and his head throb when he first saw the scene. Fortunately, the healing effect of the Ox Horn Gold in his body was still there, and this situation did not last long.
After observing for a few more moments, Ye Fan noticed that his body seemed to have gotten used to it, and the abnormal reactions had lessened considerably.
"Giant squid? No, this thing looks much scarier than a giant squid."
"It looks more like a sea monster!"
Ye Fan stared at the location of the squid sea monster ahead, and a rough information about the creature appeared before his eyes, consisting of only an introduction box.
[Superb Level 3 Sea Monster]
Race: Unknown
[Description: This is an absolute overlord of the Sea of Origin, often emerging to hunt for food during stormy weather.]
.....
After reading the introduction, Ye Fan's doubts about it did not lessen, but rather increased... Is this thing a sea monster? And a Level 3 extraordinary sea monster at that, it's clear... the gap between extraordinary levels is huge.
Comparing the sea monster in front of you with Jana makes it clear that they are not on the same level at all.
If they were to fight, Jana would likely be defeated in the first round and then mercilessly devoured.
Fortunately, the Fisherman is immune to all attacks. Even if the extraordinary level three sea monster in front of it wants to attack it, it can't do anything to it. So there's absolutely no need to worry about its safety.
But as Ye Fan looked at it, he still had a special thought in his mind.
"A level three extraordinary sea monster... If I can defeat it, I'll have all the materials to upgrade the Fisherman's Ship to level three!"
Ye Fan couldn't help but imagine a scenario that almost only happened in a dream: a thunderstorm would strike the squid sea monster in front of him, allowing him to snatch a piece of the spoils...
But after thinking about it, I realized that the possibility was almost zero. After all, how could a thunderstorm in the sky possibly hit the sea monster right in front of you?
This is no longer a fantasy, it's pure delusion!
Reason quickly prevailed again, and Ye Fan opened the regional channel, only to find that the entire channel was already filled with information about this squid sea monster. According to most of the people who had seen it, the sea monster completely ignored the ships.
He did not show any aggression towards the survivors, but he particularly enjoyed hunting fishmen.
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan felt much calmer. As long as he didn't attack the ship, everything would be fine. As long as he didn't provoke it, the other party wouldn't bother him.
"Since it's not very aggressive... perhaps we can give it a try."
Ye Fan thought of the sea urchin bomb he had found in a deep-sea treasure chest. What if he threw it into the belly of a fishman, and then controlled the fishman to be fed to the sea monster...?
So, is it possible to just blow up this sea monster?
The thought popped into his mind again. It's not surprising that Ye Fan kept wanting to try... The materials to upgrade the extraordinary level three ship were right in front of him. If he didn't get them now, who knew if he would have to wait until later to find these materials again.
Instead of trying, why not give it a shot now, even if it fails?
That squid sea monster would never know that it was attacked by itself; it would only choose to take its anger out on the fish-man.
Thinking of this, Ye Fan immediately felt that the plan was feasible. He then took out the merman horn and blew the strange horn sound once again. Not long after, fifteen more mermen appeared around the ship. Judging from their appearance, they were clearly not the same group as the first batch.
Ye Fan didn't dwell on this. He immediately had Jia Na push the sea urchin bombs on the deck into the sea, and then ordered the fishmen to carry the bombs toward the location of the squid sea monster.
