"Damn, we should be here already. Where did it go?"
The Gourmet Pirates responsible for the ambush were extremely frustrated. According to the informant, a cruise ship was supposed to pass through this area.
"We must find any trace of him. If the higher-ups find out we let a ship slip through, the punishment will be unimaginable."
These ambushing Gourmet Pirates had no idea that Zhang Wei's ship had already passed long before they arrived and set up their ambush zone!
Gang Tu was truly fast!
On the other side, Gang Tu was conducting the next part of his lesson.
"This thing is called a quick-cast fishing rod, specially designed for sea fishing. The bait is also custom-made by me, packed with technology and potent ingredients. Small fish have never smelled anything like it in their lives, it's incredibly enticing!"
Wu Yong shook his head, "This guy, being a Gourmet Hunter is a waste of his talent. It's hard to imagine that fingers as thick as radishes as his can be so nimble."
During a break in his lecture, Gang Tu approached Wu Yong, "Something is strange."
"What is it?"
"Logically, after driving away hundreds of millions of fishermen, the catch from those fishermen should be able to supply at least two billion people. With such a massive food deficit, the fish in the sea should have multiplied rapidly. But... it seems like there are far fewer than in previous years."
There was indeed something fishy!
"Look what that is!"
The voice was filled with fear.
A disciple with the ability to fly pointed into the distance. On the surface of the sea, a shadow was approaching the ship.
That shadow...
Was too enormous!
Spanning an area of dozens of miles, the ship was like a tiny tadpole in comparison.
Gang Tu burst into laughter.
"Are you an idiot?"
"That is the most precious treasure of Yueyang Bay."
"A shoal of Sausage Sardines!"
A fish shoal?
That's right, vast schools of sardines, when swimming together, form colossal shadows that resemble strangely shaped creatures.
Judging by the appearance, this shoal of Sausage Sardines contained at least over ten billion fish!
"Let's go, we're going underwater to take a look. Today's lesson is diving and fishing!"
Gang Tu called out and, like dumplings, he and his disciples jumped into the water.
"Be careful when you go down. Although Sausage Sardines have no combat power, they attract many predators."
Sausage Sardines inherited the already high protein content of sardines and possessed a large amount of calcium. Furthermore, a layer of casing replaced their scales, making their bodies more agile and their taste even better.
The disciples were generally between levels 10 and 20 and carried a large amount of fishing gear. Although their faces were young and inexperienced, they could handle a school of harmless sardines.
Wu Yong stood on the lookout platform, his gaze fixed on the distance.
Masts!
There were many of them!
"Didn't they say there were no more fishing boats..."
"Did they drive these sardines here?"
Using an ultra-magnifying telescope, Wu Yong finally got a clear view of these ships.
The ship designs were very peculiar, having undergone extensive modifications, making them specialized vessels.
"Looking at the flags, are those Gourmet Pirates?"
"Never heard of them moonlighting as fishermen."
"I don't recognize these ship models, but they are definitely not for fishing. There are no fishing nets, harpoons... no cranes, no storage..."
"They look more like warships, some kind of information relay ships."
At the same moment, the pirate ships, arriving in groups, spotted the cruise ship.
The subordinate leader couldn't help but curse, "I told them to ensure the safety of the fishing grounds and not to be disturbed. How did two morons get through? The defense department should be hung up!"
