“Waaaaa, what a ginormous teeth-”

“This is no time to admire! If we don’t deal with it quickly-”

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

Bobae trembled at the sight as she watched the creature continuously pull its long body from the sea into the air as if it were noodle soup

“What?”

Kijung quietly reassured Bobae and pointed at Leeha.

A rope was tied to his waist, his body completely pulled out, and the muzzle of the Black Bass was pointing down.

“When to shoot to inflict the greatest damage on the target? Where to aim to kill the creature in one shot....? Those calculations have already been completed.”

“But- isn’t it huge? Moreover, Leeha-ssi said he had never seen that monster befor-”

“He can do it.”Updated chapters at novelhall.com

The moment Kijung finished speaking, Luger’s mouth twitched slightly.

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

Baaaaaaaaang——-!

“That’s my Leeha-hyung.”

Compared to Luger, who used a skill, Leeha did not use the Multi-Warhead Shot. He literally found the optimal point.

Before arriving in the New Continent, Leeha also wanted to raise his specs.

Beyond simple stats and skills, he must literally develop his abilities to deal with unknown variables.

The giant moray eel did not make any sound.

With more than 140m of their bodies under the thin ice, which had already risen 8m above sea level, the two sea monsters slowly fell back into the sea, turning gray.

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

The gold dragon that launched the ship had long since been forgotten.

More than Ram Hwajung, who initially shocked them, were the two musketeers who killed the huge monsters in one shot.

“Pheeew....... Nice play, Ram Hwajung-ssi! Ah, Fernand-ssi, what level did you say they are?”

“W-what you just caught is level 247. They are usually between level 240-250-”

“Ah, really? That’s amazing! It’s this big, and with such poor defense, isn’t it a shame that it isn’t level 250?”

The giant moray eel was no longer an object of fear.

They’ve caught sight of it 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 the moray eel, the size of Leeha’s body, were literally right under them.

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

It meant that Leeha had grown once more as a sniper by overcoming that crisis.

“Even though I knew that if you just cut off the head of a fish, it would die... .”

[Kyuuu, kyuu.]

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

[Kyukyukyu! Kyukyu!]

Flap, flap, flap!

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

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

“They said that feeding drastically shortens the growth period, but I don’t know when Blaugrun-ssi will become juvenile. Will it be possible before we arrive in the new continent?”

[Kyuu?]

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

Even at times like these, Leeha’s ability to conserve his wealth was outstanding.

If they didn’t get the direction right, they would never be able to catch the marine lizards that rushed at them like a pack of dogs in front of them or the giant moray eels that leaped out from below the sea surface.

Leeha 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 gradually narrowed.

1.3, 1.2 nautical miles, the identity of the unusual object was finally revealed within the scope..

“Eh?! H-human! It’s a human! What I saw earlier is a human!”

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

“Human?!”

“A human? User? No, npc?”

“No- it can’t be- can it? It can’t be Kraven user or NPC, and it’s even more outrageous that it’s the bodies of the members of the first expedition team.”

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

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

“Captain Drake! Shouldn’t we check?”

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

Ay, Ay, Sir!

“I will contact Alexander-ssi!”

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 the pirate users of both ships steered their ship toward the floating body.

“Is it confirmed?”

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

Leeha determined the identity of the target by alternating between his naked eye using eagle’s eye and scope.

“......Oh my....... S-since this is Middle Earth, I guess it would only be natural-”

“Why? What is it?”

If the object was about 500 meters ahead, observing it was a piece of cake. Leeha clearly saw.

“It’s human...... but not human.”

“Then?”

“Only the upper body is human.”

“Yes? Only the upper body?”

Fernand tilted his head.

However, Leeha’s explanation was accurate. The upper body was human. So what about the lower body?

“The lower body is...... a fish.”

Even Leeha who spoke was equally embarrassed.

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

***

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

“Is it dead?”

“Even though she looks like a masculine type, her facial lines are pretty. I thought the scales on the bottom would look kind of creepy, but they match a lot better than I thought.”

“No, but doesn’t this thing breathe underwater? Shouldn’t we throw it back into the sea?”

“Someone get some water in a bowl!”

“Ice-”

“Waaaah! Ice magic won’t work!”

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

With them surrounding her, the mermaid lay on the deck as if she were dead.

“Fernand-ssi?”

“No. Mermaid? What mermaid? This is definitely the right direction...... why is it like this?”
