Chapter 569: School of Flying Knife Swordfish

On the surface of the ocean, the military boat moved at high-speed and left waves and splashes in its wake.

All the corpses of the sea vultures that a group of sniper players killed in a duel had dropped into the waves. Glowing loot accompanied the corpses.

However, none of the players on the boat would care about the items dropped by the Level 25 monsters.

As such, none of the players noticed the abnormality of the ocean behind them.

The gray seawater that was slightly dyed red by the sea vultures blood suddenly had ripples appearing, and the ripples were a lot stronger than those created by the military boat when it passed by.

At the same time, the tip of a black triangular object had surfaced and moved towards the military boat at high-speed.

“A fin. Is it a type of fish?” Feng Luo thought in his mind.

He thought the situation was way too familiar.

In movies back on Earth, the fins of sharks would most definitely surface first.

However, the creature was not likely to be a shark. The speed of the fish hiding in the gray seawater was just a bit too fast. To be precise, the speed of the creature was so fast that it was shocking.

While the military boat was moving at high-speed, its speed had reached over 40 knots, but even with this condition, the fin was still closing in at high-speed.

When it passed by the corpses of the sea vultures killed earlier floating in the sea, it did not slow down at all.

As the fin passed by the corpses of the sea vultures, the corpses were instantly turned into bits and pieces. In an instant, the sea was dyed red by the fresh blood.

“It is a school of Flying Knife Swordfish with a minimum level of 40. Their average HP is around 3,500. Be careful, they are incredibly fast. They move at more than 100 kilometers per hour!” The tall and slender female Scout shouted.

The rate at which the female Scout received the info was quite startling. She had announced the information before the player from Nine-Star Guild responsible for scouting and intel sharing said anything on the military boat’s channel.

Due to the weather conditions and the gray and murky seawater, it was incredibly difficult to see, not to mention identify the monster. Even Feng Luo was not able to determine what the monster was at that distance.

With those conditions, the female Scout player had announced a string of information and data about the monster that one usually needed the Detection skill for in an instant, even without taking her recon meter out.

By then, Feng Luo was sure that she possessed a special Scouting talent.

[Flying Knife Swordfish. Level 42. Normal. Species code FDJ-08934. HP: 3,670…]

After quickly taking Wings of Death out from his inventory, Feng Luo finally saw the image of the creature moving at high-speed in the sea behind them through the sniping scope.

Underneath the seawater was a small-to-medium sized fish that was about three feet long.

However, while it was not large, it definitely looked quite interesting.

Its entire body was flat, just like a sharp knife moving horizontally in the water.

More precisely, it should be a sharp knife with an arrowhead.

The reason was that at the tip of the fish’s head, there was also a hard-looking spear similar to a swordfish. Moreover, the spear took up one-third of its body length.

“Damn it! It’s actually a school of Flying Knife Swordfish… This is gonna be quite problematic!” A Scout player suddenly said with a worried tone on the military boat’s regional channel.

“Isn’t it just a Level 40 something monster? That’s not much to worry about, right?”

Other players with other professions could not understand the issue since they could not view detailed information.

They were just Level 40 plus monsters; moreover, their HPs were only a little bit over 3,000. For the expert and elite players on the military boat, as long as they did not have to face large sea monsters with the ability to completely capsize their boat, they would have nothing to worry about. These tiny monsters were nothing to them, even if they came in the thousands.

After all, fish were ultimately sea creatures.

Even if they commanded large numbers, they would still be in the water. They could not possibly be much of a threat to the players standing on the deck of the military boat that was over a dozen meters above the seawater.

“That is in terms of normal fish. The Flying Knife Swordfish isn’t your average fish. Aren’t you wondering why the name has the word ‘flying’ in it?” The Scout player said, a little unhappy.

As if trying to prove his words right, the moment he finished speaking, the triangular fin closest to them that was, at that moment, less than 50 meters away from the military boat, suddenly increased the speed in which it moved its tail. The Flying Knife Swordfish leaped from the sea and reached a height of over ten meters.

It flew straight ahead in the air towards the military boat.

“F*ck me! It really is flying in the air. There are actually fish that can fly!”

“That’s so friggin weird…”

The players on the deck had different expressions. Some seemed very surprised while others looked intrigued.

“Flying fish. What a coincidence. It’s our group, in the Gray Water area, and we’ve encountered another type!” Big Pineapple said somewhat excitedly.

The last time Big Pineapple was here was when he and Feng Luo were working on a mission with Red Queen’s group. Back then, they encountered an Elite Grade Stingray that could technically fly in the air thanks to its flat body.

This time, they had encountered another type of “Flying fish.”

Moreover, the players around them this time included all who were around last time.

To be precise, the previous stingray that they encountered could only glide at high-speed in the air due to the force generated upon impact with the ocean surface.

However, the Flying Knife Swordfish this time were really flying in the air.

The reason was due to the fins on the two sides of the Flying Knife Swordfish. They were each one-meter long, and they extended from their upper chest area all the way back to the front of their tails. This made it so that after they leaped into the air, they obtained flying abilities that were similar to seagulls.

This was also obviously the source of the name – Flying Knife Swordfish.

“Bang!”

However, the most surprising thing was the flying speed of the Flying Knife Swordfish.

Thanks to its frightening speed of over a hundred kilometers per hour in the sea as well as the moving fins that continued to help it accelerate in the air, the Flying Knife Swordfish reached a speed similar to a flying bullet. Before the people on the boat could react, the Flying Knife Swordfish had slammed into the alloy cabin wall of the military boat, a spot a few meters underneath Feng Luo’s group.

“Holy shit… this destructive force!” Big Pineapple exclaimed.

The reason was that the “Spear” of the Flying Knife Swordfish that was at least a meter long had fully pierced into the military boat.

While its sword-like body hung in the air, it continued to swing its body about with great force.

The alloy wall of the military boat that could defend against the shootings of an electromagnetic machine gun was punctured. If it had struck a player’s body, wouldn’t a large hole appear instantly?

Most importantly…

“Splash, splash, splash…”

After the Flying Knife Swordfish flew towards and attacked the military boat in a suicide-styled attack, along the ocean surface, many more Flying Knife Swordfish began to swing their tails before jumping from the sea into the air.

In an instant, the military boat was being pursued by a huge school of Flying Knife Swordfish with a gray backs, silver bellies, long spears in front, and pairs of large flapping fins.

The number was so great that it was impossible to measure the number accurately in a short period of time. The number was definitely higher than the number of fins that surfaced earlier.

“It looks like we’re really in big trouble…” Phoenix finally said.

By then, everyone understood what the Scout who spoke in the channel earlier meant.

The number of creatures living in the sea, compared to the number of creatures on land, was on a whole other level.

Normally speaking, how many fish was there in a school of fish?

Going by the lower amount, one would say in the thousands, and if one were to go to the higher estimate, it’d definitely go over 100,000.
