Some students were disappointed:
"Captain, aren't you an old seaman? Why don't you know anything?"
The captain smiled awkwardly:
"Although I have been floating at sea for half my life, this is the first time I have encountered a similar incident.
"The security captain on the ship knows more than me. The countermeasures we are taking now are all based on the suggestion of the security captain. He is a professional and has similar experiences, so I trust his judgment."
Just as he was speaking, the roar of the fish monster and the fierce shouts of the crew members came from the direction of the passage.
Apparently, the fish monster had broken open the hatch and launched an offensive.
Chu Tianxing listened to the shouts of killing coming from the direction of the passage, feeling very strange in his heart.
To say that the fish monsters are hunting for blood, that would be too much for the loss.
Just now on the deck, the fish monsters have lost nearly [-] numbers.
A "caster" was also beheaded by Chu Tianxing in a surprise attack.
In his opinion, even if the number of fish monsters is huge, spellcasters should be extremely precious and rare.
Otherwise, why did only one fish monster with a stick appear after fighting for so long?
Lost nearly [-] ordinary fish monsters, several elite fish monsters, and a spellcaster fish monster, but the result was zero.
Under normal circumstances, any rational creature should retreat in time to stop losses.
After all, there is no shortage of food in the ocean.
Although the fish monster has a ferocious appearance and a cruel temperament, since it knows how to use tools and cast spells, it must be a kind of intelligent creature.
Even if their intelligence is low and inferior to that of humans, since they are intelligent creatures, their behavior should conform to the behavior pattern of intelligent creatures.
Hunting for intelligent creatures must be costly.
If the gain outweighs the loss, let alone intelligent creatures, predators without intelligence will know how to retreat in spite of difficulties.
Even if the flesh and blood of human beings are extraordinarily delicious, and they pay such a high price just for hunting, they still persevere despite huge losses, and continue to attack one after another regardless of the huge disadvantage of the terrain. The behavior of the fish monster cannot be justified.
This is completely an act of endless "war".
Just when Chu Tianxing was wondering.
On the outer deck, another fish monster with dark red scales, wearing a bone crown, and holding a coral staff boarded the deck.
The head of the fish monster's coral staff is inlaid with a white pearl, exuding a chilly air.
Surrounded by several blue-scale elite fish monsters, it stared at the entrance of the cabin passage.
Before the entrance, there were corpses of ordinary fish monsters lying on the ground, piled up to a height of half a person, so that the subsequent fish monsters had to drag the corpses of their companions away before continuing to attack.
But just as the two fish monsters howled and charged forward, two sharp spear heads stabbed out from the opening of the passage, and pierced the hearts of the two fish monsters fiercely.
After that, the two gun heads quickly retracted, and the two fish monsters fell to the ground without saying a word, and blocked the entrance of the passage again.
The newly arrived staff-wielding fish monster looked at the scene coldly, and didn't call for a stop. It watched the fish monster rush forward one after another, blocking the passage again with corpses.
An elite fish monster next to it yelled a few times in a weird hoarse tone.
If you can understand the language of the fish monster, you will know that it is asking the fish monster with the stick:
"Master Priest, the loss is too great, the terrain...is not good, do you want to continue?"
The staff-wielding fish monster said coldly:
"Continue. This is an oracle. Even if the entire tribe is wiped out, the will of God must be fulfilled. And all warriors who fight for God will ascend to the Kingdom of God after death and bathe in the glory of God."
After a pause, it continued:
"Send out warriors to find other entrances. If you can't find them, break through those steel walls."
The elite fish monster hissed:
"Follow the order... the hateful humans... actually use so much iron to build a ship... How can the iron float on the sea? Where did they get so much iron?"
After speaking, I went down to make arrangements.
And the staff-wielding fish monster, after observing for a while, surrounded by several elite fish monsters, slowly approached the entrance of the passage, and at the same time chanted an obscure incantation, secretly brewing a spell.
……
"Can you keep it?"
In the big dining room, hearing the faint and fierce shouts coming from the direction of the passage, some students asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, you will be able to keep it."
The captain said a word of comfort, and said:
"However, we also have to be prepared in case we fall. Everyone is armed first, and beware of accidents."
Immediately commanded the crew and released the weapons and equipment on board.
Daming has very strict controls on weapons.
However, because sea-going ships may encounter unpredictable accidents at sea, they are allowed to carry weapons.
The cruise ship that Chu Tianxing and others were on was equipped with a lot of cold weapons such as knives, axes, guns, sticks, etc., as well as high-quality explosion-proof shields in terms of armor.
But the number is obviously not enough to arm all the students and crew.
So according to the level of martial arts, formal cold weapons were distributed to students and crew members with high martial arts skills.
Others held captured fish monster weapons, as well as simple weapons that were DIYed on-site using various tools and kitchen utensils.
Whether there is a weapon or not is two completely different concepts for a warrior.
Even if a martial artist in the internal strength realm has the power to open monuments and crack stones with his hands and feet, he can break the bones and even shatter the internal organs of ordinary people with a single palm, but it is obviously easier to hold a sharp weapon to cause the same damage.
For a monster with strong scales and a strong physique like the fish monster, if you kill a dozen with your bare hands, it may consume a lot of physical and internal energy, making it difficult to fight for a long time.
But if you hold a sharp weapon, you can kill dozens of them with ease.
Chu Tianxing also got a single knife, which is the famous Xiuchun knife style.
And it is such an ordinary single knife, with its modern craftsmanship and material technology, in ancient times, it is an out-and-out magic weapon.
