Introduction:

A good creation forged by an Arcanist who moonlighted as a Blacksmith, the magic inscriptions on the inner side of the bow arm ensure that the holder of this longbow will no longer need to worry about a shortage of arrows, focusing instead on the concentration of magic particles in the air.

Note:

"Scrap metal!"

Vengeance Blade Blade, a medical room within the cabin.

Xia Nan contentedly shifted his gaze from the Metal Longbow leaning against the wall.

A very interesting weapon.

Its main feature is the absence of a bowstring, with no need to prepare additional arrows, capable of attacking by concentrating the magic particles in the air.

Even possessing the rare effect of "+10% Magic Penetration."

However, according to the description on the attribute panel, the concentration of magic particles in the air seems to impact the power of the Bow and Arrow itself.

Xia Nan has never been fond of equipment with such strong restrictions, and the interest sparked in him due to the unique appearance of the [Silver Vein Longbow] dissipated considerably.

Of course, a significant part of the reason is that he finally saw the attribute panel of this longbow.

As the time spent in this world grows longer, his use of his Golden Finger has transitioned from initially unfamiliar to increasingly skillful.

Many times, even just passing by an inconspicuous street stall, he has to stand nearby and glance over to see if there are any overlooked items.

Observing the attributes of the adventurers’ weapons and equipment he passes by is a routine.

Earlier, when the Black Tide Hunter Fleet hurried by, Xia Nan noticed the Rangers holding uniquely shaped Metal Longbows, but due to distance restrictions, he couldn’t summon their attribute panels, which left him a bit regretful. Now, he has gotten his wish.

Standing with arms crossed and body slightly leaning against the wall, Xia Nan’s gaze landed on the center of the room.

There, the Vertical Pupil Ranger rescued from the damaged Black Tide Hunter was already treated and lying quietly on the bed.

Breathing steadily, evidently out of danger.

They are all Professional Level adventurers, whose physical fitness far surpasses ordinary humans.

Many injuries, which might be fatal on the spot for ordinary humans, can be endured by adventurers with a bottle of Healing Potion and some bandaging.

"Are you sure it was the Sha Hua Fishman that attacked them?"

Beside him, completely unconcerned about the Ranger lying in the hospital bed, Lorin asked with a cigarette in her mouth.

"Though I don’t know exactly what role they played in it, they’re certainly involved."

Xia Nan handed the blue-green scale he’d found earlier on the Black Tide Hunter to Lorin.

Neither he nor Lorin was unfamiliar with dealing with the Sha Hua Fishman.

Even just a small scale is enough to identify them.

"But I suspect there’s something else that attacked them alongside the Fishmen; otherwise, Black Tide Hunter wouldn’t be in this condition."

The Sha Hua Fishman might be stronger than usual in terms of Strength, but even among the Four armed Elite Guards, they wouldn’t be able to decisively kill a Professional Level Half orc with one hit, ripping them into two parts through brute force.

Not to mention intercepting an entire ship.

No doubt, the enemy that the Black Tide Hunter Fleet faced, besides the Sha Hua Fishman, must be a presence more powerful than them.

"Could it be..." Lorin paused her words, didn’t continue, but Xia Nan already understood what she meant.

She suspects it’s that Shark Beast Monster, which once nearly wiped out the Vengeance Blade Blade and had terrifying Strength.

In response, Xia Nan merely shook his head.

"Most likely, it’s not."

Initially, he too suspected that maybe the Sha Hua Fishmen brought the Shark Beast along to attack the Black Tide Hunter adventurer team.

After all, this monster indeed greatly surpasses the ordinary in terms of Strength and shares an unusual, close relationship with the Fishmen.

But soon, upon careful observation, Xia Nan rejected this assumption.

On one hand, from past experience, although the Sha Hua Fishmen might summon the Shark Beast through a Sacrificial Ceremony, their actual control over this monster is relatively weak.

In past encounters with the presence of the Shark Beast, there were large numbers of Sha Hua Fishmen corpses, indicating they were not under control.

To work in coordination with the Fishmen should be a rather difficult task.

On the other hand, due to the Half orc’s physical wounds and the break on the Black Tide Hunter, Xia Nan didn’t find any biting marks unique to the Shark Beast.

Instead, it was entirely brute force tearing flesh apart, causing the ship’s boards to break.

"We’ll ask her once she wakes up."

Xia Nan glanced towards the Ranger on the bed.

Right now, they’re just guessing, so it’s best for the person who experienced it to explain what exactly happened.

Seeing the condition of her recovery, estimating that she’ll regain consciousness soon. By then, the encounter of the Black Tide Hunter Ship Group will become clear.

"Sigh..."
