The powerful rifle bullet hit the fishman's flank, the hard scales were shattered, and the flesh and blood inside flew out and scattered on the deck.
The night still affected the bodyguard's accuracy. If he hit the head, the monster might fall down on the spot.
"Bang bang——"
The revolvers of Krivis and Klein also fired at the same time, hitting the fishman one bullet after another, causing it to scream like a baby.
After eating a lot of pepper, it was obviously still a little dazed. Its two bulging eyes glanced left and right, not knowing which enemy to deal with first. This gave a few people a chance to reload. After a few seconds of silence, three firearms, two short and one long, continued to roar, and the smell of gunpowder and blood filled the deck.
Seeing the murloc, which could be regarded as Beyonder Creature, crumbling under the orderly attacks of three ambushers, Angel shook his head with half regret and half happiness.
It's a pity that this kind of creature that probably corresponds to one of the materials of some kind of Sequence 9 Potion just fell to ordinary weapons. Fortunately, because I don't have to participate in the battle, Donna and Danton beside me can also enjoy it safely...
Angel's Spirituality suddenly issued a warning, danger is coming from around you!
She suddenly looked behind her, and saw a pair of deformed webbed arms clinging to the railing of the ship not far from her. The next second, the arms that were holding on to the railing were retracted, and a fishman over two meters tall tumbled from the outside of the ship onto the deck.
Seawater and thick mucus dripped under its feet, and the scales on its body shone in the moonlight. Its extremely protruding eyes were fixed on the nearest Danton. The latter's eyes were wide open, looking at this terrifying monster, and he was so frightened that he even forgot to shout.
Bang, bang!
The fishman approached with fast steps, and his flippers made a dull sound on the wooden deck. Angel immediately stretched out his hands, grabbed Donna sister and brother one by one, and pulled them backwards. She used the reaction force to rush forward and faced this monster that was taller than her.
The foul smell of cattle and sheep offal on the deck and the fishy smell of another fishman's blood aroused the monster's ferocity. It looked at Angel, which was approaching quickly, raised its thick arms, and took a picture with strong wind.
As Beyonder Creature, the strength of the fish-man is beyond the comparison of ordinary people, and the thick scales give it extremely strong defense. This simple horizontal sweeping and vertical shooting can fully demonstrate its powerful power, and it is an invincible killing move in the sea.
Unfortunately, it faced Beyonder from Sequence 5.
Angel turned slightly to the side and dodged the murloc's slap, which weighed more than a thousand kilograms. The "Knight Bracelet" in his left hand turned into a slender Bone Sword, which lightly passed by its gills with the speed of the two sides passing by.
The next second, the fish-man with half of his neck cut off jumped forward as if he had been tripped. With a dull sound, he fell on the deck. He slid two meters away before running out of kinetic energy. He dragged a trail of blood and stopped in front of Donna and Danton, who were hugging each other and closing their eyes tightly.
There was a soft sound as if the sword was sheathed, and the Bone Sword in Angel's hand returned to the wrist, turning back into the bone bracelet that looked like a cultural relic unearthed by Bayam. The small amount of blood stained on the sword lost its support and fell to the ground, adding a touch of color to the deck covered with seawater and mucus.
This weapon is so convenient, even the step of wiping blood is saved... Angel thought to himself, looking to the other side of the deck, where a middle-aged man walked out of the shadows. He was wearing a dark red coat and a boat-shaped hat on his head, holding an old single-shot gun, his face full of solemnity.
It was Captain Erlan Cagg who "gave a speech" at noon. Did he see me taking action?
But it's okay to see it, I didn't show any Beyonder Ability, it's just that the weapon thing is hard to explain...
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind. Angel watched Captain Aierlan approaching. The latter forced out a smile and said:
"As a captain, I must guard against all accidents."
He pointed his gun at the fish-man's body, but his eyes remained on Angel.
"As a passenger, I don't want any accidents to happen during the trip."
Angel replied that she was not afraid of the captain, but she really meant what she said.
Aierlan nodded with satisfaction, stepped over the fishman's body, raised his hand and pulled the gun, and pulled the trigger. The huge gun muzzle emitted far more flames than ordinary firearms. Not far away, another fishman who was staggering towards the side of the ship was attacked by several people and fell down at the sound. The two protruding eyeballs were only left with blood holes running through his head.
This gun is so powerful, it can't be the Mystical Item... but it may just be that it has a large caliber and a sufficient amount of powder. After all, it is a single-shot handgun.
Angel looked at the weapon in the captain's hand with some curiosity. At this time, Krivis, Cecil and Klein came from the other side of the deck. Except for Klein who had already noticed the movement here, the other two bodyguards looked at the fish-man corpse lying on the ground in surprise, with blood still coming from his neck.
"This is... how could there be another fish-man..." Krivis first looked at the Donna and Danton siblings. Seeing that they were safe and sound, he nodded to the captain, "Captain Erlan, thank you for your timely help."
"Actually..." Aierlan looked sideways at Angel and saw her shaking her head inconspicuously, and immediately changed her words, "... the sword skills I practiced in the navy are a bit rusty, otherwise I should be able to chop off its head with one knife."
He patted the short knife hanging on his waist and replied with a smile.
"According to the rules of the sea, you can challenge for the spoils first."
Glancing at the corpse of the murloc with a neat blade, apparently killed by a single blow, Krivis put the revolver and dagger back into its sheath and said respectfully.
Looking at the record alone, Captain Erlan also has the right to take away the bulk. What's more, everyone is on his ship now. As soon as the captain, who retired from the navy, shouts, Sailor from the entire ship will come over and throw a few bodyguards into the sea. They have no room for resistance.
"This one belongs to me, and that one belongs to you," Aierlan pointed at the murloc corpses at his feet and further away with his gun, "Also, instead of waiting for two days to land and letting the murloc corpse lose part of its value, why not just sell it to me cheaper, 180 pounds, how about it?"
His eyes swept over the two bodyguards, Klein and Angel, and stayed on the latter two for a long time.
The Beyonder Ingredients on the fishman should be sold for about 200 pounds. Considering the advantage of getting cash directly, this price was obviously beyond Krivis's expectations. He raised his eyebrows and quickly nodded in agreement.
"'Just Erlan', the rumors at sea are indeed good."
The former adventurer murmured, his body relaxing completely.
At this time, Donna, who was frightened by the fishman approaching with its teeth and claws, came closer. Danton squatted down and studied the fishman corpse on the ground curiously, while Donna looked at Angel thoughtfully.
Suddenly, she burst into a bright smile, imitating Angel's movements, and raised her fingers in front of her mouth, indicating that she would abide by the day's agreement and keep her secret.
In the large open space in front of the deck, several crew members laid out fire-proof asbestos blankets, set up a large grill, spread the sliced fish belly meat on the iron rack, lit the charcoal fire and started roasting, while a small oil pan was set next to it, frying a large piece of fish ribs.
The exclusive chef of the first class cabin was called from the warm bed to prepare today's supper for the captain and several passengers who had just participated in the battle. He skillfully mixed the seasonings mixed with pepper, sea salt, fennel and other spices with the sweet and sour lemon juice, and applied it on the surface of the fish. The tangy aroma spread with the sea breeze and spread throughout the entire deck, making Klein and others sitting on the temporary seats swallow their saliva.
"Try these first. The best part of the fish-men. On land, even the nobles don't have the chance to eat such fresh delicacies."
Captain Erlan came over carrying a tray, which contained pieces of tender meat as thin as cicada wings, which he had personally sliced off from the fishman's cheek under his eyes with a knife.
"Eat it raw?"
Donna, who was sitting next to Angel, asked with some confusion.
"It won't be tender until it's roasted."
The captain replied, taking the lead in picking up a piece, throwing it into his mouth, chewing it exaggeratedly a few times, with a satisfied expression on his face.
Seeing him eating like this, several adults reached out and grabbed it from the plate, eating the fish-man's cheek meat raw without any seasoning.
Angel also pinched a piece and put it into her mouth with some hesitation. She was instantly impressed by the silky texture with a light salty taste. She imitated Aierlan and chewed exaggeratedly, but she accidentally swallowed the delicious meat slices and quickly reached out to the tray again.
"Here, give it a try."
She grabbed the second piece of meat, resisted the urge to stuff it into her mouth, and handed it to Donna beside her. The latter closed his eyes tightly, opened his mouth slightly, and wrinkled his face. He caught the piece of meat like a bird waiting for food, chewed slowly, and gradually relaxed his brows.
"It's so delicious! Danton, try it too!"
Several people quickly wiped away the precious cheek meat, and some looked at the grill with unsatisfied thoughts, imagining what kind of delicious food would be next.
Angel left his seat at the look of captain Aierlan and came to a corner away from everyone.
"Here, this is your share, the total is 230 pounds."
Aierlan took out an envelope from the inner pocket of his coat and handed it to Angel.
230 pounds... this includes all possible profits from a fishman's Beyonder Characteristic and other parts containing Spirituality. The fairness or generosity of this "Just Erlan" is because he can't see my strength, so he deliberately shows his kindness to avoid conflict with me?
Angel was convinced and did not refuse. He took the envelope and opened it in front of Aierlan. After counting it carefully, he put it in his pocket.
"Thank you for your generosity, Captain Erlan."
She expressed her heartfelt gratitude for the windfall.
"I hope I can satisfy you, Miss Satchi," the captain also showed a faint smile, "Can I ask about your real destination?"
You guys... it seems that this captain has included Klein, no, Gehrman Sparrow...
Angel looked sideways at the table and chairs next to the barbecue grill. Klein was holding a bottle of golden-red wine and studying it in the moonlight, but his eyes were secretly looking this way.
"It's just a vacation to Bayam, both him and me."
She answered honestly.
"Congratulations on your holiday in advance."
Aierlan nodded without changing his expression.
Then he and Angel returned to the round table in the center of the deck. At this time, the chef also served a large plate of fried fish ribs. They were crispy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside. The heat of the oil and the salty aroma made Angel couldn't help but sniff.
She sat back between Klein and Donna and looked at the filled glass of wine in front of her in surprise. It was the golden red wine that Klein was studying just now.
"Sonia Blood Wine, it tastes very good."
Klein introduced it succinctly.
Looking at Krivis and Cecil who were suppressing laughter on the other side of the table, Angel tilted his head in confusion.
