Chapter 279: Is Water War Difficult?
Whether it is Gordon's Blue Fire Dragon suit or Hayata's [Hyata] suit, they are not too light equipment.
Coupled with the heavy weapons behind them, the two people sank like weights after falling into the sea.
Fortunately, the water next to the pier was not too deep, about four or five meters at most. With the help of respirators, the two of them gradually regained their composure after flopping twice.
Aziz slid over like a fish and swam half a circle around the two of them.
Since it was difficult to speak underwater, he made a few tactical gestures.
‘Don’t panic, I’ll help you. ’
Gordon and Hayata nodded and stopped moving.
Aziz quickly swam back to the shore, took down the driftwood and lead weights, and hung them on the two of them bit by bit.
With the help of multiple sets of driftwood and a small amount of lead weights, the bodies of the two finally floated. Even without paddling their limbs, they were almost able to float stably in the water.
‘Float. ’ Aziz made another gesture.
Hayata and Gordon tried to row their arms and kick their legs upwards. This time, they easily rose back to the water.

The two took a few long breaths, and the oxygen algae in their lungs and respirators were filled with oxygen again.
Azi’s head also popped up from the water on the side.
He chuckled and said: "This way you will also know how to ventilate. If you feel stuffy in the breathing mask, it means there is not much oxygen. You must ventilate in time, otherwise it will be very dangerous."
“The counterweights are quite complicated, and it’s not convenient to do them by myself. Do I need to prepare these for every water battle?” Gordon asked curiously.
“Not necessarily. Veterans of water warfare generally choose equipment that is lighter and suitable for underwater operations. There are very few people who use heavy armor, so there is less need for counterweights.
The green water dragon suit on my forehead is great. It is light and close-fitting, warm and waterproof, and can swim faster than ordinary equipment! Aziz is obviously very satisfied with his "water ghost suit".
“Isn’t your previous sea dragon suit also heavy armor?” Gordon asked again.
“The sea dragon suit is very special. It looks heavy, but in fact the sea dragon’s carapace is hollow and the design is streamlined. It is surprisingly convenient when moving in the water.”
"I see."
“Let’s continue diving. First try the feeling of moving and dodging in the water, and then pull out your weapon to feel the different resistance from the shore. If there are no major problems, congratulations on your graduation!”
Sounds easy.
The three of them dived underwater again.
With the help of the driftwood on their bodies and the lead weights on their feet, they did not need to spend much thought on adjusting their body posture and swam fast or slowly for a while.
Under Aziz’s demonstration, I learned several techniques to accelerate movement underwater and dodge monster attacks.
Hunters are all guys with excellent motor skills. They master it quickly, and water fighting does not seem to be as complicated as they imagined.
At the moment, let alone hunting high-danger monsters, at least dealing with small monsters like sharks should be no problem?
‘Use weapons. ’
Seeing that Gordon and the others had almost mastered the skills of moving underwater, Aziz made two more gestures.
Gordon raised the Fire Dragon Sword, and Hayata also drew the Flying Dragon Sword.
The latter was easier to say, since the sword was considered a light weapon, so Gordon was a little embarrassed. He was almost dragged down by the sword due to the sudden change in his center of gravity.
Different from being on the ground underwater, you cannot use your feet to stabilize your body. You can only slowly adjust your center of gravity through constant movement of your limbs.
Gordon tried for a long time before he gradually got the hang of it.
He finally understood why everyone said that the spear was the most suitable weapon for water battles - a spear that mainly focuses on stabbing has the least change in the center of gravity, and the effect of water resistance on the power of the attack is also the weakest.
It seems that although water warfare is not complicated, it is definitely not simple.
The martial arts used underwater and those used on the ground are two completely different systems. It is superficially involved. It is certainly not difficult to understand it briefly, but wanting to be good at it is another matter.
On the other side, Pandan, a kitten from the desert, also recovered the instinct engraved deep in her genes under the devilish training of Pig Chop.
Surfacing and diving are smooth, and there is no problem in wielding a cat pick.
I rowed my limbs towards Az, wanting to cause trouble for the latter, but I forgot that this guy was a sea dweller who had been swimming in the sea since he was a child.
Facing Pandan's sudden attack, Aziz easily dodged, and then he grabbed the back of the little guy's neck like a fish, and they soaked at the bottom of the sea for a few minutes with big eyes and small eyes.
It was only when Xianglan struggled frantically and felt like she was about to be suffocated to death that Aziz put her back on the surface to breathe.
After this incident, it never dared to trouble Aziz again.
At least not underwater.
…
After finishing the preliminary water warfare teaching, Gordon and the others went to find the village chief.
After looking at Gordon Hayata's wet hair and armor, as well as the large and small driftwood hanging on the armor, the village chief nodded with satisfaction.
The village chief handed the task document to Gordon.
—
Crunt mission: Shark group on the isolated island (★★★)
Task content: Kill 10 sharks
Remuneration: 5000z
Mission location: Isolated Island
Monsters may appear: dogs, dragons, aquatic beasts, water beasts
Limited time: 7 days
The head of Mojia Village: The sharks in the northern waters of the isolated island have not been cleaned up all year round, and the number has increased to the extent that it affects fishermen’s fishing.
Please also help us to clean up some of it.

"Three stars?" Gordon said in surprise after confirming the task order.
He thought it was a two-star mission at most.
The village chief crossed his arms and said, "Underwater, sharks are still more dangerous than dogs and dragons, and there are also water animals nearby, so be careful."
“I understand, thank you for reminding me.” Gordon accepted the task document.
"It's not noon yet, so there should be enough time. Do you want to set off?" Az asked Gordon.
“How long does it take to get to the hunting ground in the north of the isolated island from here?”
Aziz thought for a while and said: "It will be more troublesome to take the land route. It may take more than half a day to cross the ridge in the center of the island. It will be much faster to take the sea route and sail along the coast, maybe an hour or two."
A family fishing boat is sufficient. Although it is not big, it is not slow and can be sailed by one person. "
“Then let’s set off as soon as possible. If we can’t come back before dark, we’ll rest in the camp for one night and come back tomorrow morning.”
“Okay.”
"OK."
Neither Aziz nor Hayata had any objections.
“Hahaha, young people do what they say, it’s great to be energetic!” the old village chief said with emotion, “Remember to polish the harpoon, the skin of those sharks is very tough.”
“Harpoon?”
“You still need to bring a harpoon?”
Looking at the reactions of Gordon and Hayata, the face of the village chief who was smiling just now turned dark again.
“Pah!” Another slap was slapped on the back of Az’s neck.
“Didn’t I tell you that Gordon and the others were hunting for the skin of the ancient shark? They didn’t even prepare a harpoon. Can the peeled skin be used?!”
Aziz shrank his neck and said with a smile: "I know, just go home and get some, it won't delay your departure."
ˆPs.
I didn’t know at the time that the ancient shark’s skin needed to be beaten with a harpoon. I was so nervous that I found out after checking the guide.
