Since the boat is here, it means that the people must be nearby. This scene immediately made Long Shaofeng heave a sigh of relief. Although Hu Zhanan said before that the boatman would definitely bring Lan Xiaoke here, he did not see it with his own eyes.
Long Shaofeng was still very worried at that time.
If the boatman hadn't brought Lan Xiaoke here, then Long Shaofeng would have been really desperate! But fortunately, Hu Scumbag Man was right, and the boatman did bring Lan Xiaoke here.
"Little brother, since the boat is here, they won't go far! There are three branches in front. The left one is the only way to the ancient tomb, the middle one is leading to the outside of the mountain, and I don't know the right one.
But since the boatman parked the boat here, it means that he was right by my guess!"
"Trying to get rid of us by taking advantage of several forks! All our food is in his hands, so he can hold on for at least a while. But we have nothing and can't hold them back at all."
"So if we want to save people, we can't wait here all the time for them to come out! Instead, we have to look for them one by one. And there are three branches here. Even if we work separately, there will still be another branch! In that case
, it’s still easy for him to escape.”
"But what I can't figure out is why he would park the boat here? Even if we can't find him in the end, then we can at least control the boat so that he can't escape." Hu Zhannan said slowly.
He explained slowly, and then spoke with some confusion.
"Perhaps this boat is a bait, making us think that as long as we control the boat, he will not be able to escape! But we ignored that he comes here often, so there must be more than one boat! It is very likely that he is hiding here.
A spare boat."
"As long as we don't figure out the fork where he is, he will take the opportunity to escape. In that case, we won't be able to find him even if we search this place all over." After hearing this, Long Shaofeng thought for a moment, and then endured it.
He kept talking.
"You are right. He often does this kind of business. There will definitely be more than one boat! Just like the last crisis in the black fog, if the boat really capsizes! Then he will definitely have people escaping.
Go without worrying about the boat!"
"But on the river with no shore in front and no ground behind, if there is no boat, then even if he escapes from the black fog area, he will die in the end. So he must have a spare boat here! He didn't consider it just now
This is really careless!”
"If that's the case, then we probably have to go and find it alone, and guard here alone! If it's like we guessed, then the ship he left for us will definitely not be usable! This guy is really cunning.
!" Hu Zhaman nodded in agreement, then frowned.
"Then you stay here and I'll go search for you!" After hearing this, Long Shaofeng nodded and then said directly.
"Go ahead and be safe! Don't worry, as long as he dares to come out, I will definitely keep him!" Hearing what Long Shaofeng said, Hu Zhaman didn't argue with Long Shaofeng, so he reminded him.
After hearing this, Long Shaofeng nodded, and then took a few steps forward! This place is about twenty meters away from the ship, and there is no place to stay in the middle, so if you want to get there, you have to get into the water.
But the thing that made Long Shaofeng frown was that he always felt that something was not right about the water here, which made him feel a very unusual aura. This aura made him feel a little depressed, which made Long Shaofeng feel solemn.
Long Shaofeng has always believed in his own feelings. Because in many life-and-death decisions, it was his feelings that allowed him to escape crisis after crisis, otherwise he would probably have died by now.
So this time, Long Shaofeng still believed in his feelings as always. But he was definitely looking for Lan Xiaoke, and the distance of twenty meters had to be passed, so Long Shaofeng felt a little entangled at the moment.
His own feeling clearly showed that there must be something strange in the water, especially when he saw that there seemed to be no flow in this water area, which made Long Shaofeng feel even more solemn!
"Little brother, what's wrong? Is there any problem?" The bearded man next to him saw Long Shaofeng staring at the water and frowning. This made him suddenly confused, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Do you have a knife?" After hearing this, Long Shaofeng hesitated for a moment, and then asked.
"This is the dagger I carry with me, take it and use it!" Hu Zhanan took out a small dagger from his waist and handed it directly to Long Shaofeng.
Seeing this, Long Shaofeng took the dagger! After taking a deep breath, he jumped directly into the water! The moment he first touched the water, all the internal forces in Long Shaofeng's body started to work crazily.
Because the feeling that something was wrong became very strong, which made his whole body tense up, constantly alerting the surrounding water! At the same time, his limbs were also moving crazily, running towards the water as fast as possible.
The direction of the ship.
Although the distance of twenty meters is not long, if it is on land, it will only take a blink of an eye for Long Shaofeng, but in the water it still takes a few seconds. When he was just halfway through the swim, Long Shaofeng immediately
He felt something seemed to be swimming towards him from behind.
Moreover, this thing gave him a very dangerous feeling, which shocked Long Shaofeng. Without any pause, he used all his strength and swam crazily towards the landing point on the opposite side.
Although Long Shaofeng was very fast, the speed of the ghost following behind him seemed to be not weak either. He could clearly feel the water flow behind him fluctuating, which made him a little panicked.
Just when he was still two meters away from the shore, Long Shaofeng suddenly kicked off his legs and grabbed the shore with both hands! Using both arms, Long Shaofeng jumped up from the water with his whole body, and then turned over
On land!
At the same time, Long Shaofeng saw with his own eyes a large black thing silently retreating in the water less than two meters away from him. Seeing this scene, Long Shaofeng breathed a heavy sigh of relief, but
The heartbeat still hasn't calmed down.
Although he didn't know what kind of monster that big black thing was, according to his feeling, it was definitely a very difficult big guy! He was just a little bit away from coming into contact with this big guy.
, which made Long Shaofeng feel extremely thrilling.
"The water is very dangerous, don't go into the water!" After calming down for a while, Long Shaofeng directly warned the bearded man.
"What is that?" He didn't need Long Shaofeng to remind him. He had also seen the scene just now, so he asked Long Shaofeng with a solemn face.
"Have you never experienced this place before?" Seeing that the scumbag man didn't seem to know anything about it, Long Shaofeng suddenly felt strange, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Some people have passed by, but they passed by here directly by boat and did not enter the water, so they did not find anything in the water. But the black thing just now should be a big guy
! It seems that the boatman parked the boat here on purpose, and then lured us into taking the bait!" Hu Scumbag nodded, and then said solemnly.
"You stay safe here, I'll go in and take a look first!" After hearing this, Long Shaofeng also frowned deeply. He hesitated slightly, and then said directly.
After saying that, Long Shaofeng stood up and walked slowly to the boat with a dagger! He briefly checked the condition of the boat and found that there was no problem, which made Long Shaofeng feel slightly relieved.
It seems that the boatman really thought that they couldn't cross the twenty-meter distance, so he even skipped the step of destroying the boat! But that's good, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to go!
The boat is parked at the land fork on the left. He can walk directly along the land to this fork! But if there is no boat for the other two forks, he can only swim across.
But after just experiencing the thrilling scene in the water, to be honest, Long Shaofeng didn't even dare to go into the water! So the boat stopped here, which really saved Long Shaofeng a lot of effort.
Since the boatman could pass through unharmed, it means that as long as there is a boat, the big guys in the water will not attack the boat. However, this is just Long Shaofeng's guess. As for whether it is what he guessed, he has no idea.
I'm sure.
But having a boat is at least better than not having one. He is really afraid of going into the water now! When he thinks of big guys attacking people in the water, even if he is a cultivator, he is panicking. How can he dare to go into the water again unless he has to!
But now that time has been delayed for so long, he doesn't know what Lan Xiaoke's situation is now, so he is very worried. Since there is no problem with the ship, Long Shaofeng is relieved!
Without hesitation, Long Shaofeng walked along the land and walked into a fork on the left! The boat stopped so obviously, so the man was probably hiding in the fork on the left.
However, this is only the most direct and obvious possibility. As for whether the boatman was in this fork, Long Shaofeng was not sure at all.
If he really has a backup boat here, the boatman can use the other boat to hide in other forks, and the original boat can be used as a bait to make them choose a wrong direction.
Although this guess is very possible, Long Shaofeng does not want to ignore any possibility! Many times, the easiest place to ignore is the best place to hide people.
Long Shaofeng didn't dare to make such a small mistake. Especially since Lan Xiaoke was still in his hands, Long Shaofeng had to search for it more carefully. Anyway, there was a scumbag man guarding him, even if he left.
If he went in the wrong direction, he would at least have logistical support.
The river in the mountain is not very wide, only four or five meters wide! So even if the boatman runs out in the end, the scumbag man is absolutely sure to stop them!
After all, these few meters of distance can be easily jumped by a cultivator. The boatman is not as strong as the scumbag man, so as long as he is stopped by the scumbag man, there will be no surprise!
As soon as he walked into the fork on the left, Long Shaofeng felt that it was even quieter than outside. It was no longer normal to be quiet! Feeling that there was no movement around him, Long Shaofeng held the dagger in his hand and became alert.
.
After a general observation, the road was very long, and there was no hiding place nearby. This made Long Shaofeng frown. If the boatman wanted to escape, he probably wouldn't hide too far!
But now he didn't see any figures. It seemed that they were not hiding in this fork. Although there was a guess, Long Shaofeng did not look back immediately, but continued to walk forward for a while!
