Chapter 1641 [Fufu's Bizarre Adventure 33] "Catch"

The crisis facing Sand Ryumaru has been resolved, but the battle is not yet completely over.

The fight between Xianglan and the Sand Dragon King continues.

Although due to factors such as the length of the weapon, it is difficult to quickly eliminate the opponent.

But relying on her agility and combat experience accumulated from countless bloody battles that ordinary people could not imagine, Xianglan easily gained the upper hand.

"Go and take care of the wounded."

As if some shackles had been opened and Fu Fu became bolder, she gave Yu Pa a command, then jumped off the side of the boat alone and headed towards the battle that was still going on not far away.

Yuba seemed very conflicted, his eyes moving back and forth between the wounded man beside him and Fu Fu's receding figure.

Noticing its hesitation, the Second Prince patted the back of its head and said, “The injuries of the wounded are not too serious, we can handle it ourselves.

If you want to help, go now. Don’t be left behind like I was.”

"Meow?"

Yupai tilted his head and looked at the second prince who had a melancholy look on his face.

Then, it put down the huge medicine pot on its back, "This contains gel for treating external injuries, meow. Pour it directly on the wound to stop the bleeding, meow."

After giving a brief instruction, Yupai adjusted his acorn cat armor and chased after him on all fours.

"You must walk lightly and quickly, and never stop."

Fu Fu kept muttering to herself, repeating the things the fishermen had told her to do, as she ran with one foot in the deep water and one foot in the shallow water.

Even if you wear desert boots that increase your ground contact area, it is still very easy to get stuck when walking in this sea of ​​fine sand and quicksand.

No wonder even local hunters are rarely willing to go deep into the core area of ​​this sea of ​​sand.

As she got closer and closer to the target, she didn't know whether it was the vibration caused by her not-so-light steps that stimulated the Sand Dragon King, or for some other reason.

The Sand Dragon King, who was struggling to deal with Xianglan's harassment, suddenly changed direction, jumped into the sand sea, and rushed towards her at an accelerated speed.

Faced with such a change, Xianglan felt helpless.

It could understand Fu Fu and the others' impulse and worry, but to be honest, the opponent was just a Sand Dragon King, and it didn't need help.

Or to put it more bluntly, their presence would only cause trouble.

But who hasn’t come this way?

I watched Fu Fu trying to distance herself from the approaching Sand Dragon King, but her feet were stuck in the fine sand and she couldn't run fast, so she crawled in a miserable state.

Xianglan sighed again and took out a sonic boom bomb from her backpack.

However, just as it pulled the fuse and had no time to throw the sonic boom bomb, another sonic boom bomb landed beside the Sand Dragon King.

The landing point of the sonic boom bomb was not perfect, and it was nearly ten meters away from the target, but the timing was still good. The Sand Dragon King swimming in the sand sea was once again blown out from the bottom of the sand by the high-frequency noise.

It was the fish steak that arrived just in time.

"Beautiful!" Fu Fu cheered.

He drew his bow and arrow and slid in one smooth motion, quickly approaching the Sand Dragon King who was lying and struggling on the ground.

She hasn't learned advanced techniques like Dragon Arrow yet. If she wants to increase the power of her shooting, the most direct way is to get closer to the target.

Xianglan also threw the sonic boom bomb in her hand aside, drew out her cat sword and quickly approached, meowing loudly to remind, "Don't aim at the head, meow!

This guy's skull is hard, but his neck and back are his real weak spots!"

Fu Fu, who had gathered her strength and pulled the bow to its full length and was about to shoot the arrow in her hand, quickly changed direction upon hearing this and shot the arrow into the side of the Sand Dragon King's neck.

Xianglan arrived quickly and wielded the cat sword, aiming at the carotid artery and slashing down with the sword a few times, cutting several wounds that gushed out blood.

About 20 to 30 meters away, Yu Pai, who wanted to help but didn't dare to get too close, jumped in place, "The paralysis trap is ready, meow! The tranquilizer bullets for capture are also ready, meow!

When it's weak, lure it over here, meow, and then come down to give it the finishing blow, meow!"

Seeing his disciple being so cowardly, a vein on Xianglan's forehead jumped up and down, "It's too early to be weak, meow! Come over here and attack together, meow!"

With Xianglan as the main force, this Sand Dragon King naturally couldn't make any waves.

Covered with wounds and suffering from severe blood loss, it became increasingly weak and eventually fell into the paralysis trap set by the fishmonger under the effect of the anesthetic bullet used for capture.

A whole living sand dragon king is naturally of the highest value. The fishermen tied it up tightly with ropes and took a lot of effort to finally lift it onto the deck with a sling.

As for the other sand dragons.

Since the Sand Dragon Ball had no extra load left, the fishermen could only peel off the most valuable ichthyosaur liver, as well as some claws, teeth, skin and other materials, and disperse them on several small sand boats, and only then could they take them all away.

Just a few days after setting sail, the fishing fleet returned with a full load.

As for the original target, sand fish, no one cares about it anymore. In terms of economic value, sand dragon is much higher than sand fish, not to mention that the sand dragon king was successfully captured this time.

In order to keep the ichthyosaur livers as fresh as possible and to reduce the probability of being attacked by other monsters, the captain decided to take turns on duty and return at full speed without stopping.

This meant that the next few days would be hard for everyone, but no one raised any objections.

Look at the boat's full harvest. Even if the cost of repairing the damaged ship and heavy crossbows, as well as the compensation for the wounded are all taken into account, everyone in the fishing fleet can still make a lot of money, and morale is naturally high.

On the way back, the blood on the boat inevitably attracted some wandering monsters, including even a hungry dragon.

Fortunately, with Xianglan's protection and everyone's efforts, the fleet finally got rid of the pursuit. After two days and nights of safe sailing, they finally returned to Lockrak.

When he heard the news that a fishing fleet had wiped out an entire group of sand dragons and captured the Sand Dragon King, President Moustache felt a little confused.

According to the rules of the guild, if a hunter enters the sand sea on his own, kills a group of sand dragons without receiving a commission and without his personal safety being threatened, and then has the audacity to bring the dragons back to sell, he will definitely be charged with "destroying the ecology".

But the situation of fishing fleets is slightly different. The fishing licenses of fishing fleets are issued separately by the union.

From the perspective of the fishing fleet, whether it is sand fish, sand dragon, or the bite fish that are more common in oasis swamps, in theory, they all belong to "fish goods".

As long as you have the ability to catch them, it does not violate local laws. After all, those are not ordinary sea fish, and it is not easy for fishermen to deal with them.

Under normal circumstances, a fishing fleet can be considered to have a full load if it can catch 20 to 30 sand fish at a time. If they are lucky enough to catch one or two sand dragons, it would be a big harvest.

This is the first time I have seen a situation where seven or eight sand dragons were caught in one go, including the Sand Dragon King.

Of course, the guild considered the situation where a fishing fleet would set out with hunters to hunt on a large scale.

For this reason, the Rocklak Guild also has clear regulations that active hunters are not allowed to join fishing activities at will unless there is a special crusade commission.

But this time they found a loophole.

A hunter apprentice who was not even qualified to be an apprentice hunter was obviously not an "active hunter", and a legendary hunting cat did not seem to be an "active hunter".

Therefore, the Sand Dragon King that was captured was not an "illegally captured monster" but a "fish caught by fishermen".

The mustache president rubbed his throbbing forehead and said to the supervisor who came to report the situation: "Forget it this time. Call the heads of each department to hold a meeting later to discuss the revision of the regulations.

Restrict the "active hunting cats" from helping the fishing fleet to catch large quantities of fish. If necessary, they must accept the subjugation mission in advance or apply to the guild for registration."

"Yes."

The lady supervisor in the red bonnet nodded and was about to leave when she was stopped by the mustache-wearing president.

"Wait, the Fanghound has to be included as well."

"Um"

"And there are the strange-faced people."

"it is good"
