Chapter 397

“Wow! The teeth—what size teeth—”

“This is not the time to be admiring! If we don’t do it quickly—”

“Shh. You don’t have to do that, Bobae.”

Bobae was making a fuss as she watched the guy continuously pull his long body out of the sea and into the air, as if it were noodle soup.

“yes?”

Ki-jeong quietly reassured Bo-bae and pointed below.

A pose in which a single rope is tied to the waist, the upper body is completely pulled out, and the muzzle of the Black Bess is lowered.

“When should I shoot to inflict the greatest damage on the target? Where should I aim to kill it with one hit, even though it is so huge?... Those calculations have probably already been done.”

“But—is it that big? Besides, Lee Ha said this is the first monster he’s seen-”

“I can do it.”

The moment Kijeong finished speaking, Lee Ha and Luger’s mouths moved slightly.

A roar loud enough to shake two ships sounded simultaneously from the New Serpent and the Marlin.

Tukwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa」

“This is my brother.”

Compared to Luger, who used skills, Lee Ha did not use multiple bullets. Literally to find the optimal point.

Lee Ha also wanted to improve his specifications before arriving in the New Continent.

Beyond simple stats and skills, you must literally develop your abilities to deal with unknown enemies.

The giant moray eel did not make any sound.

The two sea creatures, which had already jumped up to 8 meters above the sea surface and had more than 140 meters of body under the shattered ice, were turning gray and slowly being sucked back into the sea.

Most of the expedition members were in a different state of shock than when they fought the collared lizards.

The Gold Dragon that launched the ship has long since been forgotten.

About Ram Hwa-jeong, who shocked me even more, and the two musketeers who killed that huge monster with a single blow.

“Phew.... That was a nice play, Mrs. Ram Hwa-jeong! Oh, Mr. Fernand, what level did you say this is?”

“Bah, what you just caught is 247. It usually comes out to 240~250 and-”

“Oh, really? It’s awesome! At this size, with such poor defense, being level 250 is a piece of shit!?”

The giant moray eel was no longer an object of fear for Lee Ha, who had found the point of instant death.

* * *

I’ve caught up to everything I can see over the past few days.

Since its head was large enough to match its size, it was not difficult to hit it under the water.

‘No, I guess my skills have improved again in the meantime.’

The teeth of a moray eel, the size of the body below, were literally right in front of my nose.

Even if he had fired a little later, if the ship had been damaged, he might have been hit as well.

It meant that I had grown once again as a sniper by overcoming that crisis.

“Even though I knew that if you just cut off the head of a fish, it’s one shot... It’s so rare to find a level 250 fish like this.”

[Kyuuu, kyuuu]

“Ah. Should we cut the meat from that corpse and eat it? “I can’t eat raw fish, and I’ve heard of something like moray stew.”

[Kyukyukkyun! Kkyukkyun!]

Flapping, fluttering, fluttering!

Blaugrun circled around Iha’s head as he stood on the watchtower.

The strong reaction that always came out whenever the topic of food was mentioned made Lee Ha quite amused.

“I heard that feeding drastically shortens the growth period, but I don’t know when Mr. Blaugrun will become the best of Juvena. “Will it be possible before we arrive in the New Continent?”

[Kyuu?]

“That’s it, that’s enough. Pretending not to understand again. Let’s go down. Hehe, there are a lot of rare potions available as supplies, so you should use them.”

Even in times like these, Lee Ha’s ability to conserve his wealth was outstanding.

On the 6th day of the voyage to the New Continent, the 8th day when Leeha logged out, and the 10th day of the expedition when we returned, there were no problems other than the sudden appearance of sea creatures.

If you don’t get the direction right, you’ll never be able to catch a ruffed lizard that’s charging at you like a pack of dogs in front of you, or a giant moray eel that’s shooting out from under the sea surface.

Iha had some respect for Fernand, who had already led the NPC fleet against such monsters when he had not even started playing Middle Earth yet.

Meanwhile, the ship continued to move forward, and the distance between the ship and the foreign object in its direction of travel was gradually narrowing.

The identity of the unusual object was finally revealed within the scope, which had been reduced to 1.3 nautical miles and 1.2 nautical miles.

“Eh?! Hey, human! It’s human! “What I discovered a little while ago was a human!”

He was lying down as if he had fainted. It was floating and already looked like a corpse, but it had the shape of a human.

“human?!”

“Are you human? user? No, NPC?”

“No – you can’t – you can’t do that, can you? “It can’t be a Kraven user or an NPC, and it’s even more ridiculous that the bodies of the first expedition members still remain.”

Kraven’s territorial waters were cleared on the first day.

There is no way that a regular user or NPC could bring a ship to this location. As even Fernand was embarrassed, the expedition members had no choice but to have even more doubts.

“Captain Drake! “Shouldn’t we check that?”

“...hmm. “Stop 0.3 nautical miles ahead, disembark the speedboat and check.”

Ay, Ay, Sir!

“I’ll contact Mr. Alexander!”

The two ships, which were moving forward rapidly, folded their sails and began to gradually reduce their speed.

Burke and Alexander also decided that it was necessary to check if it was not a monster.

Fortunately, the sea was calm enough to operate the boat, and pirate users on both ships piloted small boats and approached the floating carcass.

“Is it confirmed?”

Fernand got on the boat and asked Iha next to him.

The identity of the target was determined by alternating between naked eye observation using a scope and an eagle’s eye.

“...Oh my... Ha, well, since it’s Middle Earth, I guess it’s natural in a way-”

“Why? “What is it?”

If the object is about 500 meters ahead, observing it is a piece of cake. You can see it clearly below.

“Humans are humans... but they are not humans.”

“then?”

“Only the upper body is human.”

“yes? “Only the upper body?”

Fernand tilted his head.

However, the following explanation was accurate. The upper body is human. So what about the lower body?

“The lower body is like a fish... yes.”

Even those who spoke were equally embarrassed.

The identity of the thing floating on the sea that caught the ‘eagle’s eye’ was a mermaid.

* * *

“Wow, this is my first time seeing a mermaid.”

“Is he dead?”

“Even though she looks like a masculine type, her facial lines are pretty. “I thought the scales underneath would look kind of creepy, but they fit in much better than I thought.”

“No, but isn’t this breathing underwater? Shouldn’t we throw it back into the sea?”

“Someone get some water in a bowl!”

“Ice-”

“Wow! Ice magic won’t work!”

Even the personnel of the Marlin came rushing over to the New-Serpent.

With them all around, the mermaid was lying on the deck as if she were dead.

“Do you know anything Mr. Fernand?”

“No, no. Mermaid? What a mermaid? The direction must be this way... Why is this like this?”
