During the three-day journey, they passed a small city, but the boat did not stop, so Wang'er and the others forced the boat to pass through the city without stopping and followed the boat closely.
After walking for another three days, the boat in front of them slowed down, as if they were waiting for something. Their intuition told Wang'er that they would soon know where those women and girls had disappeared.
To everyone's surprise, on the third night, the building boat did not anchor as before, but started on the night road, going very fast. Wang'er asked the boat to follow closely, and she also asked people to tell them to follow closely.
Pei Qing then prepared for battle.
By the early morning of the next day, the boat's speed had slowed down again.
Wang'er's boat also slowed down.
In fact, they couldn't walk fast because the river was filled with heavy fog, and the boat was stuck in the thick fog. They could only follow the direction of the current and slowly go downwards to avoid losing their way.
Pei Qing was afraid that something might go wrong, so he went to Wang'er's boat.
In his hand, he had a letter from Fei Ge, who was at the helm of the Beggar Clan near the city. "From here, we have already passed Ankang City. If we walk for a few days, the boat will not be able to move because it will reach the waterfall."
Pei Qing showed Wanger a scribbled sketch.
"However, according to the report of the person in charge of the helm, the water in this generation of mountainous areas is like a gourd, that is, after a rapids, it will enter a vast water surface, and there is a small island in the middle of this vast water surface."
Pei Qing pointed to a small island in the center of the gourd, "This island is occupied by monsters, and no one has ever landed on it."
In fact, because there is no way to go down the water area in this area, there are few people there. The map in Pei Qing's hand was pieced together by the Beggar Gang's helmsman who found many old fishermen.
Wang'er nodded and was about to speak when the boat suddenly rocked violently. Huniu and the others stood up instantly. After holding firm, they looked out from the boat window and saw something standing in the mist.
, completely dark.
"Hit the cliff?" Huniu exclaimed.
"I'll go out and take a look,"
Pei Qing left in a gust of wind, and Wang'er and the others rushed out of the cabin and stood on the deck, then they raised their heads.
What Huniu saw just now was not a cliff at all, but something unknown hidden in the fog. They were in strips, about a hundred years old, and they emerged from the water one by one and stretched into the sky. When they were about to be thickened,
When the fog disappeared, these things gathered together above the ship's head and turned into something like a grape trellis, covering the sky.
When these things came out of the water, they created huge waves and rocked the boat, including the building boat in front.
The sailors on the boat that Wang'er and the others were on were already frightened. They huddled in the corner and let the boat drift with the current. They kept mumbling to themselves and praying for the protection of various gods.
Huniu and others also turned pale with fright.
They were used to living freely in the Yancheng area, and there were not many opportunities to actually take action, let alone seeing such a terrifying existence.
"Don't be afraid, hold on tight."
Wang'er made a reassuring gesture, then narrowed his eyes slightly to look at the thing above his head.
"This thing is closing!" Pei Qing said.
Wang'er nodded.
Yes, the thing that closed up like a grape trellis on the head was constantly pressing down, almost coming out of the fog.
"I gonna go see!"
Pei Qing was rising into the sky, and when a gust of wind penetrated into the thick fog, just when his figure was about to disappear, a vine from the "grape trellis" that was suddenly set up struck at Pei Qing with thunderous force.
Pei Qing hurriedly flashed past.
Then a few more "vines" rushed over. Although Pei Qing was superb in Qinggong, Fengxing's Qinggong was originally driven by the wind. Now the wind disturbed these "vines" and Pei Qing's body became erratic.
Like a small boat in the great waves, it is in danger of being capsized at any time.
When the grape trellis above his head was also pushed down, Pei Qing finally couldn't resist and retreated.
"It's a monster."
Pei Qing wiped the water from his face after landing on the deck, "That thing is like a tentacle, smooth and greasy with a fishy smell."
"Look at the building ship!"
Huniu suddenly pointed forward.
Wang'er and the others looked up and saw a thick tentacle stretching out from the water, wrapping tightly around Lou Chuan, twisting Lou Chuan hard, and slowly lifting him out of the water.
"What should I do?" Huniu asked anxiously.
Wang'er shook his head, "Don't worry, the guards on the boat in front are very calm."
She felt that these people had already expected it and had made their own assumptions in their minds, so she didn't feel scared. On the contrary, the women on the boat screamed in fear. Some of them tried to rush out, but they were all held tightly by the guards on the boat.
Locked up in a building boat.
"He's down!" Pei Qing said.
Wang'er raised his head and saw that the "grape vines" formed by the tentacles were pressing down with overwhelming force, and the water waves on both sides were stirred up to a height of more than ten feet.
What's even more frightening is that in an instant, many eyes appeared on the tentacles. After opening, they stared at Wang'er and the others' ship with ghastly eyes, threatening to smash the ship to pieces.
"They're trying to booby-trap you!"
Pei Qing understood, "The Shi family wants to use this monster to kill you."
In this way, the blame will not be placed on the Shi family, but the Shi family will avenge Master Shi Qi and let out a bad breath.
Wanger Lingran is not afraid.
She stood on the bow of the ship in a red dress, with the bells on her wrists ringing crisply on her feet, her white ankles flashing in the wind along with the red dress, and her hair flying in the air, revealing a face of perseverance and confidence.
"Want to kill me, dream."
A slight smile flashed across Wang'er's lips, then she stretched out her bright wrist and flipped her hand.
"Here comes the sword!"
call out!
Whoosh!
The sword that had not been brought out just now penetrated the cabin and flew straight to Wang'er's hand. It spun around in Wang'er's hand and left the scabbard. Then it suddenly radiated bright light and quickly spun around Wang'er, like a thirsty beast.
, in urgent need of blood to quench his thirst.
boom!
The monster's intuition told him that this sword was not easy to mess with, so he speeded up the strangulation, and the "grape vine" suddenly lost control and fell towards Wang'er's boat.
"Sword Rain!"
Wang'er pointed to the "grape vine".
Whoosh!
Countless sword shadows shot out from behind Wang'er, and the sword's edge brought up Wang'er's red clothes and long hair, appearing on the bow of the ship like a fairy.
Whoosh!
The shadow of the sword flashed across like a meteor, dispersing the fog, and the cold eyes on the stinging tentacles closed.
puff!
Puff!
Then, without waiting for the tentacles to respond, the sword shadow pierced the "grape trellis" with holes, turning into fleshy foam, densely packed with blood and water, and fell on the Ningjiang River.
Ouch!
In the distance, there was the sound of a choking throat that was as painful as a giant beast from ancient times.
Then, a huge force stretched out from under the boat and seemed to overturn the boat.
"go!"
Wanger pointed at his hand.
The sword shadow spinning and flying around her, eager to shoot out, immediately screamed happily and sent a stream of sword water under the water. It was extremely violent but fell into the water silently. Then the boat stabilized, and a stream of blood surged up from the water.
Fog and thick ink spread over the water.
Phew!
The sword light that penetrated the water came out of the water from the other side and continued to hover around Wang'er.
And in the distance, another roar of pain echoed in the mountains.
