Zhang Baiqiang looked back and stepped on the big water snake without hesitation, using its strength to jump up.
Almost at the same time, the crossbow made a heart-wrenching crunching sound, and the crossbow arrow flew out, piercing seven inches straight!
I saw that the scales on the big water snake had changed color, but it was too late to avoid it.
Just hearing the painful roar of the big water snake, the crossbow arrow had pierced the scales and penetrated directly into the flesh.
The big water snake frantically opened its mouth to grab the crossbow arrow, but Zhang Baiqiang jumped up and hit the snake directly on the head with the heavy octagonal hammer.
The big water snake's brain was shattered by this blow, and blood flowed out. The huge snake's body was constantly twisting and struggling in the flood.
Zhang Baiqiang burst into laughter, and unexpectedly the snake's tail flew up from the water, sending him flying for more than ten meters.
He fell directly into the water with a pop, but then emerged from the water and swam desperately towards the ship.
I grabbed a cable from the side of the ship and threw it in front of Zhang Baiqiang.
He held the hammer in one hand and the cable with the other, and swam towards the ship quickly. When he looked back, he realized that the surface of the river had turned red, and the smell of blood was unbearable.
The big water snake is dead.
The crossbow arrow was nailed seven inches away, and the snake's head was smashed directly by Zhang Baiqiang.
The scales on his body were curled up by the purple flames of heavenly fire.
Even a real dragon might not be able to withstand this kind of injury.
The boss of the boat shouted in surprise: "Quick! Get the body out!"
This thing is almost turning into a dragon, and there must be elixirs in its body.
I turned around and shouted: "Don't even make a move! Get back!"
"Brother Zhang! Hurry up!"
The dragon fire under the water is still burning, and with the help of the blue flame, I have seen countless earthworm-like insects swimming rapidly in the water.
These insects were densely packed and countless. They first rushed into the area where the snake's blood spread, and then got into the snake carcass.
In an instant, the huge snake corpse began to shrivel up rapidly.
Zhang Baiqiang looked back and his face turned green with fright.
No matter how powerful his octagonal sledgehammer is, he can't kill these densely packed earthworms.
He could only hold on to the cable and swim towards the ship desperately.
The insects seemed to sense that there were still living things in the water, and they chased after Zhang Baiqiang.
But I pulled out the rune sword and slashed it down continuously. I saw purple flames of heavenly fire burning on the surface of the water, and dragon fire burning under the water.
The faint blue and deep purple lights contrasted with each other, and the insects were burned to ashes as soon as they came into contact with the flames.
The remaining insects stopped in a hurry, tentatively approached the flames, and then turned back without hesitation to continue eating the snake carcass.
Taking advantage of this opening, Zhang Baiqiang had already reached under the side of the ship.
He grabbed the rope and jumped up, already standing on the deck.
The boat boss said hurriedly: "Let's go, let's go! That's the Yellow River corpse-eating insect!"
"Gangzi! Sprinkle the exorcism oil into the water!"
At this stall, I didn’t dare to think about the snake corpse anymore. I could only see the motor of the cruise ship humming, its power increased to the extreme, and it was speeding forward against the Yellow River.
Zhang Baiqiang cursed: "Yellow River corpse-eating bugs? What the hell is that?"
The boat boss said quickly: "Those are the insects found only in the coffins in Coffin Gorge! This thing only lives in the water and likes to eat meat."
"Even though he looks like an earthworm, his body is so tough that even if he is cut with a knife, he may not be able to kill him!"
According to the boat boss, the Yellow River corpse-eating bug is a type of Gu. Corpse-eating bugs were first mentioned in the Tang and Song Dynasties.
It's just that if you want to raise corpse-eating bugs, you must live in a place with strong Yin energy. They are more difficult to raise than zombies.
So as time goes by, the corpse-eating insects gradually disappear in Middle-earth.
When the captain of the ship first explored the coffin sinking in Coffin Gorge, he had seen the corpse of a corpse-eating insect, but he never thought that this thing could come back to life.
And there were so many of them right away.
When the ship boss said this, his tone was very sad: "The Age of Dharma Ending is coming, and Yin and Yang are in chaos. It's not uncommon for this thing to come back to life."
"I'm just sorry for this mother river. If the corpse-eating insects multiply and expand here, I don't know how many people will die."
The ship kept moving forward, and the snake carcass behind it gradually disappeared, leaving only a lilac flame still burning.
The purple flame of heavenly fire has extremely strong yang energy, and unless the yang energy dissipates, the flame will not go out.
With this flame, it can also stop the corpse-eating insects from chasing down the river.
The boss of the ship turned around and said, "Thank you both very much."
"Liuzi, bring the underground black crystal!"
A corpse collector trotted over and took out the underground black crystal we used as shipping money.
The boss of the ship said: "If there are not a few people to help, our losses will be huge."
"According to the rules, this shipping fee cannot be collected."
Zhang Baiqiang sneered: "Take it! There is no time to take back what I gave away!"
"It's just underground black crystal, it's not something valuable!"
The ship boss said: "Liu Zi, go and get the third box from my office!"
"These brothers are so cheerful, we who collect corpses can't lose our face!"
Liu Zi hurried back and soon came over carrying another box.
The boss of the ship opened the box and said: "Brothers, although the body fishermen are in a eccentric way, their profession is eccentric, but their hearts are right!"
"Retaliation for enmity and repaying kindness for kindness are the rules of life!"
"The big sea snake is the work of these two brothers. I will give you these two items!"
He opened the box and saw two golden corpse-suppressing charms inside.
Gold is one of the seven treasures of Buddhism, and the gold corpse-suppressing talisman made of gold is said to be able to suppress the corpse king.
Even in the Age of Ending Law, these two golden corpse-suppressing talismans are considered rare items.
The boss of the ship pushed the box forward: "Brothers, this is not a reward, it's just that I want to make friends with you!"
Zhang Baiqiang laughed and said to me: "Brother He, I didn't expect that besides you and Lao Zhang, there are people who look up to me, Zhang Baiqiang!"
"Boss of the ship, we have collected the things!"
"My name is Zhang Baiqiang, from Qingdao!"
The boss of the boat breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Chen Pishui, I basically have the final say in the lower reaches of the Yellow River!"
I was happy when I heard his name, tangerine peel water, and you also have wolfberry tea.
But there is one thing to say, the golden corpse-suppressing talisman is definitely a good thing for a corpse hunter, and he is willing to give it to us, which shows his sincerity.
Moreover, although the person who fished for corpses followed a different path, he was very disciplined and had a good reputation in the circle.
Many friends mean many paths, especially in this messy world.
After this incident, Chen Pishui never called me a deserter again, nor did he treat us as ordinary guests.
Even the treatment has been improved a lot. Ordinary guests have to get into the cabin, but we can walk around the boat at will.
When night fell, Tangerine Pi Shui even treated us to a hot hot pot meal.
To be honest, you can also eat hot pot at this stall, which is really a luxury.
You must know that when floods come, many granaries have been washed away, and the people among the people are even hungry.
It's just that the damn rain never stops, and the whole sky seems to be leaking. The rain is pouring down, and there is no sign of stopping at all.
After killing the big water snake, the subsequent formation became much easier.
The corpse fishermen are familiar with the waterways and are good at water. With them controlling the ship, we basically don't have to worry about it.
Zhang Baiqiang and I were even in the mood to sleep for a while in Chen Pishui's office.
It wasn't until Chen Pishui hurriedly opened the door that we both woke up immediately.
His face was not very good, and his voice was very low, and he said: "You two, something happened up front. I'm a little unsure. Can you come over and take a look?"
I grabbed the rune sword without hesitation and said, "Let's go!"
We are all in the same boat. If Chen Pishui said there is a situation, then there must be a situation.
It was still raining heavily on the deck, but the searchlight overhead was extinguished, leaving only scattered lights around.
I looked around and saw that the floods were still flooding all around me, and it seemed like I couldn't even see the end.
The boss of the ship wiped the rain off his face and said: "Left front! About one kilometer away!"
I looked around and saw that there seemed to be light flickering in the rain curtain. The lights passed one after another, and there were vaguely dark red flames rising up.
Zhang Baiqiang said in surprise: "Is there a boat?"
The ship boss nodded: "The lookout post looked through the telescope and saw a red battle flag in the light. It should be the demon-suppressing soldiers of the Secret Bureau."
"They were on the waterway we must pass through, and they got into trouble with something unknown."
The boat boss said as he handed me a monocular telescope.
I looked carefully, and sure enough I saw a red battle flag in the light. Under the flag, waves were rolling into the sky, fire was shining, and from time to time, demon-suppressing soldiers jumped into the water carrying rune sabers.
I asked; "Is that Coffin Gorge over there?"
The boat boss shook his head: "No! But Brother He, if the coffin in Coffin Gorge is washed out, it will wander around with the current."
"I suspect there may be a coffin from Coffin Gorge that arrived here, and was discovered by the demon-suppressing soldiers from the Middle Earth."
"what to do?"
I said without hesitation: "Come closer! Find a way to help them!"
Although Wei Wuguo and the ruling office are in conflict, I can still understand the big issues of right and wrong.
As long as they are exorcists fighting evil spirits, they are worthy of our help!
What's more, those demon-suppressing soldiers are probably Wei Wuguo's men. I would be uneasy if I didn't help.
The boss of the ship said simply: "No problem!"
If it can help the Secret Bureau, it can be considered an investment for the body collectors.
If one day we are desperate, we can use this matter to negotiate a favor with the Secret Bureau.
The reason why they asked for my opinion was because they were worried that I was a deserter from the Secret Bureau and would not dare to go there.
After getting my opinion, the cruise ship immediately accelerated its speed.
Zhang Baiqiang and I also stood on the deck, staring at the lights and fire ahead.
As the distance gets closer, I can see more and more clearly.
Under the light, there are indeed demon-suppressing soldiers from the Secret Bureau.
But their scene was in chaos, with more than a dozen assault boats in disarray, and the demon-suppressing soldiers fighting on their own.
It seemed that the leader was killed on the spot, so they fell into a brief chaos.
But after watching for a long time, I couldn't see who these demon-suppressing soldiers were fighting.
