Chapter 211 - Fishing

The three of them looked at Lin Xuan, who was standing in front of them happily, and were momentarily speechless. They were truly stunned. To be able to scare off a black-rank sea king with a single punch was really quite impressive.

Now, this formidable newcomer was actually a member of their team. How should they put it? They were a little happy, but also at a loss.

“You, hello. I am the captain of unit eighteen, Li Yunqiang. I am pleased to meet you.”

Li Yunqiang’s originally serious expression couldn’t hold back anymore. He forced out a few traces of a smile and welcomed Lin Xuan’s new arrival.

“How pleased are you?”

“…”

Lin Xuan said cheekily. He directly made Li Yunqiang unable to do anything. How happy was he?

“Hehehe!”

“I’m dying of laughter, hahaha!”

The other two teammates heard Lin Xuan’s question and looked at Li Yunqiang’s confused expression. They immediately laughed out loud. In an instant, the relationship between the four of them became much closer. There was no longer the awkward atmosphere of strangers meeting each other.

“My name is Fu Ziyu. I know some spells and have learned first aid on the battlefield. I can be considered half a healer!”

“Ran Changan, a warrior who is good at using guns!”

“Li Yunqiang, a guardian.”

“Lin Xuan, a strong attacker, a variant of the guardian. My defense is not weak, and my attack is not bad either!”

The three major positioning points were only rough points. For someone like Lin Xuan, who could defend and attack, if he had a positioning point, he would be a strong attacker in a five-man team.

For this temporary five-man team, they were still short of a scout.

“Oh right, our mission today is to hunt a few catties of prey. I brought a gift for the team.”

Lin Xuan asked casually, then pointed at the sea beast that had been dragged over to the side.

“Oh, a green-headed fish. It should weigh about a thousand catties. If we remove the inedible parts like the fish scales, fish bones, and internal organs, the net meat should be around five hundred catties. We have completed one-third of the mission today. Not bad, not bad. It’s a good gift!”

Li Yunqiang’s eyes lit up. After a rough estimation, his face beamed with joy. Previously, due to the lack of manpower, they had not been able to complete the day’s worth of hunting for quite a few days. The portion of residents they were responsible for were barely surviving by relying on the stocks they had saved previously.

Although they did not say anything, it felt like a weight had been lifted off their shoulders. Now that a strong reinforcement had come, they might be able to store more meat.

Without saying anything, Li Yunqiang first placed the sea beast on the conveyor belt and sent it to the underground city. At that time, there would be a special person in charge of cutting and distributing it.

“Let’s go hunt for more!”

Li Yunqiang called out in high spirits. The few of them went to the nearby simple changing room, changed into diving suits, and each took a sharp stone spear… speaking of which, why was the weapon a stone spear? It felt like they had returned to the ancient stone age!

“Lin Xuan, we’re short of everything. Metals are all rare items. However, we have a lot of stones. When we built the underground city, many red stones were dug out. Additionally, these stones are pretty solid. After being polished, we were able to make them into weapons. It’s not bad at all. Let’s make do with it and hunt for food.”

“Oh… Why didn’t you bring weapons from Taixia Country? Our Taixia Country should have a lot of grain and weapons, right?”

Li Yunqiang threw a weird glance at Lin Xuan, Ran Changan explained to Lin Xuan, “It’s not that we don’t want to bring them in, but we can’t. If the original humans could eat high-quality rice, green vegetables, and countless spiritual energy meat every day, yes, indeed, they would have a very good living environment.

“Additionally, we could also carry out a large amount of dungeon strategies to hunt for more food. However, it’s not advisable because it would cause them to lose the motivation to work hard. Now that we outsiders could provide so much food, they would not feel any sense of crisis.

“Only now, when food is scarce, when the sea beasts are in danger, and when the terrifying crisis of imminent destruction is constantly alerting them, will they study hard and improve every day!

“Of course, these are all my personal opinions. I don’t know if it’s true or not.”

Lin Xuan nodded. What he said made sense. At least, he agreed with that theory. Once a person was no longer under pressure, they would become a moldy unmoving person.

“Let’s go. There’s no point in overthinking all this. Leave these matters to the administrative staff to plan. We just need to complete the tasks given to us.”

Fu Ziyu patted Lin Xuan’s shoulder, then leaped into the sea that was filled with waves.

The corner of Lin Xuan’s eyes twitched, and he jumped down as well.

He always thought that he had a fear of the ocean, but now that he was in the sea, he actually felt a sense of comfort. The raindragon bloodline in his body seemed to be cheering and begging to jump in.

Opening his eyes, he saw that the sea was azure blue. Looking into the distance, it gradually became dark. There were many sea beasts swimming around nearby. A swordfish seemed to have noticed Lin Xuan and quickly swam towards him, the sharp thorn on its upper lip fiercely piercing over.

Lin Xuan’s body moved, but he realized that although his feet could not touch the ground, his body still felt nimble. He could borrow strength from every part of his body. When he moved in the sea, his speed was actually a few times faster than the swordfish.

Swimming Dragon Returning to the Sea!

With a quick dodge, a pinch, and a smash, the swordfish had already been captured.

The three people not far away seemed to be stunned by Lin Xuan’s light but heavy movements and techniques. They originally thought that he would not be used to spearfishing since it was his first time going into the sea, but they did not expect that his adaptability to be immaculate.

However, they were soon frightened again because Lin Xuan seemed too comfortable in the sea. It was as if he had lived in the sea for eons. The sea beasts that wandered nearby could not escape his attacks at all.

Carrying seven to eight large sea beasts that weighed hundreds of kilograms, the four of them floated to the surface of the water.

“Lin Xuan, you’re awesome!”

“You’re amazing, I admire you!”

“That was impressive. Today’s catch is more than enough.”

The three of them gave a thumbs up in praise. This was because Lin Xuan’s performance had exceeded their expectations. His swimming speed was faster than those sea beasts that lived in the sea. The strength of his punches did not seem to be affected by the water resistance too much, the sea beasts that used to take a lot of effort to capture were now like fruits that could be casually picked. All he did was reach out and grab one easily.

It was awesome!

“Should we go down for another hunt?”

Ran Changan pinched the sharp stone spear in his hand. His face was full of excitement. The gains they made a few days ago made them feel guilty. Now that they had Lin Xuan as their trump card, they should hurry up and make up for what they lost. After all, Lin Xuan was not a member of the team that will be stationed for a long time. He was only sent on a temporary basis.

Li Yunqiang did not say anything. He only looked at Lin Xuan with anticipation in his eyes just like Fu Ziyu.

“Of course, let’s return with a full load today!”
