Chapter 16 Treasure Map
It seems that even without obvious external injuries, the violent impact put considerable pressure on its internal organs.
Yu Wang was already facing away from the water, and when he was hit by the wolf eel, his body floated towards the surface.
The water behind them was churned violently once more, and the wolf eel's massive jaws, carrying a foul stench, were already close in!
In that life-or-death moment, Yu Wang, having precisely calculated the charging time and distance, silently shouted: "Fire!"
call out!
A sound of water breaking came swiftly from above!
Above Yu Wang's head, a highly compressed, pale blue, and solid water arrow-like attack tore through the seawater and slammed into the body of the wolf eel, which was about to bite Yu Wang with its gaping maw!
puff!
A dull, penetrating sound.
The wolf eel's ferocious forward charge suddenly froze! The water jet left a clear, bowl-sized wound on its side!
Dark red blood mixed with fragments of internal organs gushed out from the wound, exploding into a rapidly spreading cloud of blood mist in the clear seawater!
"Gurgle...ho..."
The wolf eel's massive body convulsed and spasmed violently from the intense pain, stirring up the surrounding seawater and making it murky!
It works! But it's not lethal enough!
A cold glint flashed in Yu Wang's eyes, and the crab claw harpoon in his hand shot out like a poisonous dragon emerging from its cave, fiercely stabbing towards the wolf eel's head!
The wolf eel dodged with a flick of its tail, avoiding the attack. The fork tip, amplified by the force of the fish-skin swimsuit, pierced deeply into the muscle between its head and body!
With a "click," the open pliers closed, securing the object further!
"Fire! Second shot!"
The energy core inside the water rocket cannon's base flickered slightly, and the muzzle lit up again, indicating that the second compressed water rocket was rapidly charging!
However, during this recharging interval, the severely injured wolf eel displayed the ferocity of a predator!
It forcefully suppressed the excruciating pain, its yellow eyes instantly locking onto Yu Wang, who was right in front of it. Ignoring the huge wound in its abdomen, it swung its thick body violently and bit down on Yu Wang's head without any regard for the consequences!
As the saying goes, "One pound of fish requires ten pounds of strength!"
In order to avoid being thrown into an unfavorable position under the wolf eel, Yu Wang deliberately let go. Without the support of the harpoon, it was difficult for him to maintain a safe distance from the wolf eel's sharp teeth.
As the wolf eel attacked again, Yu Wang quickly raised his tortoise shell shield to defend himself, leaning his body back as far as he could!
He was about to be bitten—
call out!
The second water arrow, at the critical moment, was fully charged and shot out towards the wolf eel's head!
The wolf eel already knew how powerful the sound was, so it abandoned its attack and twisted its body to dodge the incoming water arrow.
The water jet grazed its dorsal fin, leaving a long, deep gash in its tough skin that exposed bone. Blood gushed out again, but it failed to hit a vital spot!
The wolf eel was enraged by the scratch and pounced again.
Meanwhile, Yu Wang had already taken advantage of the wolf eel's moment of evasion to raise his duck-shell again and block the wolf eel's bite!
[83/100]
[76/100]
[71/100]
……
The tearing was different from the impact; the duck's health dropped drastically, and the rope made of twisted fibers was also cut by the wolf eel's teeth.
Duck B's beady eyes darted around, and seeing the wolf eel's wide-open mouth, it deliberately stuck itself inside!
"I'll fucking choke you to death!"
Crunch—! The wolf eel's sharp teeth were deeply embedded in the turtle shell, but it was unable to bite through this unusually hard "foreign object" for a moment!
"Great opportunity!" Yu Wang roared in his heart. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he quickly rose to the surface, broke through the sea surface, and climbed up to the cockpit of the Little Yellow Duck while panting.
"Third shot! Die!"
Yu Wang roared inwardly, concentrating all his mental energy on controlling the situation.
call out--!!!
The third water arrow came.
This time, the wolf eel could no longer escape. All its attention and strength were focused on getting rid of the duck's genitals in its mouth.
*Pfft!*
The third water jet pierced the wolf eel's head with perfect precision, carrying a powerful impact and penetrating force, cutting through the skull and reaching deep into the brain!
The wolf eel's massive struggle lasted only two or three seconds before it quickly weakened. Finally, it completely lost all life, its yellow pupils dilating.
[Water Arrow Cannon (Lv.1) successfully defeated the 'Night Fang Wolf Eel'!]
[The defeated Coral Overlord 'Night Fang Wolf Eel' has been automatically collected in the Water Rocket Cannon Base Collection Pod. Please retrieve it promptly.]
A concise system prompt appears at the edge of the field of vision.
"it's over."
Yu Wang slowly exhaled the breath he had been holding in his chest, and his violently beating heart gradually calmed down.
He quickly checked the information for the 'Water Arrow Cannon' on the panel to confirm the consumption of pearl coins.
Water Arrow Cannon (Lv.1)
[Installation Location: Bow (Main Gun Position)]
[Energy: 70% (1/1 pearl coins)]
[Mode: Active Mode]
[Attack range: 3 meters around the ship]
The level 1 water cannon has already used up 30% of its energy after firing just three arrows!
It would be a lie for Yu Wang to say he wasn't heartbroken!
Water cannons are powerful, but the energy consumption is practically throwing money away! Who would dare to keep them running all night long?
"No, I need to level up to level 2 quickly! Unlock the energy-saving mode for the water rocket cannon!"
[Prerequisite for upgrading the "Water Arrow Cannon": Own a Tier 2 ship]
"..."
【2级船只升级所需：10空核碎片、600单位塑料、400单位木料、40单位玻璃、20单位橡胶、5单位金属零件】
Tier 2 ships require even more materials! We haven't even seen 10 empty core fragments yet!
Yu Wang got a headache just thinking about those numbers and felt that it was more realistic to work hard to earn pearl coins.
Beneath the surface, the murky blood is slowly spreading and diluting.
The carcass of the night-fanged wolf eel had disappeared. After escaping its predicament, Duck B, carrying a crab claw harpoon that had also lost its attachment, struggled to paddle with its short wings and flat webbed feet, slowly rising to the surface.
With the biggest underwater threat eliminated, Duck A, who had been staying in the cabin the whole time, didn't sit idle either.
After receiving Yu Wang's command, it first performed a few warm-up exercises, such as stretching its wings and twisting its neck, before leaping into the water in a 360-degree turn.
After entering the water, duck A was significantly faster than the clumsy duck B, and quickly dived to the location of the staghorn coral, bringing the silver-edged bronze box to the surface.
Yu Wang watched in amazement. He had only been feeling lazy and had asked Duck A to go into the water to retrieve the box, just to give it a try.
Who would have thought that plastic ducks could actually dive!
Duck B's ability to dive can be explained by the high density of a turtle's shell, but there's no suitable reason for duck A's ability!
Yu Wang quickly came to terms with it, chuckling self-deprecatingly: "In a world where blood moons rise at night, monsters spawn in the sea, humans awaken various talents, and plastic ducks can understand human speech and process transactions, a plastic duck being able to dive doesn't seem like such a big deal, does it?"
His worldview had already been reshaped during the three years he struggled to survive in his previous life, and his threshold for accepting new things was already ridiculously high.
Yu Wang quickly put this surprise behind him and turned his attention to more practical issues: the gains of this operation.
Before long, two ducks, a treasure chest, and an adult human filled the cockpit to the brim, leaving no room for anyone to sit down.
"This is too crowded..." Yu Wang said, somewhat amused and exasperated.
More importantly, the treasure chest hasn't been opened yet.
If a mimic chest were to appear and a fight broke out in this cramped space, it would be a disaster.
"Let's play it safe and go to the bow," Yu Wang decided immediately.
He grabbed the crab claw harpoon that Duck B had just brought back, dragged the silver-edged bronze treasure chest out of the cabin, and climbed onto the huge, round duck head of the "Little Yellow Duck," which occupied almost half the volume of the ship.
The space here is open, so even if something bad happens, there is enough room to maneuver.
He took a deep breath, tapped the box with the tip of his harpoon, then carefully pried open the lid a crack, remaining alert... If nothing was amiss, he opened it completely.
A soft light flashed, revealing the contents of the box.
