Chapter 224: Hesitation
While Daoist Li was talking, the Tang * army, who had arrested people, had already returned one after another, putting all those tourists on the deck, and someone shouted with a crying voice: "Wang Huan, we trust you so much, why do you want to harm us?"
I said coldly: "I'm saving your lives, if you don't believe it, you can jump right now, I don't need to explain so much to you." ”
Those people were too frightened by me to speak, but Ruan Dalong said: "Don't be afraid, everyone, we have reached an agreement with the people on the ship, and they can help us tide over the difficulties." ”
Someone's eyes suddenly lit up: "You have reached an agreement, then let the ship go out on our behalf!
"Yes, yes...... Hurry up and get us out. Someone responded: "Wang Huan, I know you are a good person, as long as I send you out, how much money do you want, and how much will we give you?"
I couldn't help frowning, and many people gathered around me and said good things to me: "Wang Huan! You young man is benevolent, you can't just take us away like this! if something happens to you, you won't be happy to go, will you?"
I said in a deep voice, "This ship can't get out." ”
I'm telling the truth, although I don't know if this ship can leave the island, but one thing is clear to me, that is, the initiative to control the warship is in the hands of Daoist Li, and he will never agree to sail the ship. If, I forcibly turn my face with Daoist Li now, even if I can fight my way out of the encirclement, these people will all be killed.
Besides, there is another ghost ship nearby, and it is another matter whether that ship will let us out or not, and once the two ships fight, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose.
I don't need to mention this kind of request to Daoist Li at all.
As soon as my words came out, someone suddenly became anxious: "What do you say? What do you mean you can't get out? I think you have other plans, right?"
A woman pointed at me with a forked finger and shouted: "Wang Huan, what do you want, you say, you want money, real estate, car, as long as we can take it out, all of it will be given to you, don't mother-in-law." ”
I looked at the woman with cold eyes: "I'll say it one last time, this ship can't get out." ”
The person closest to me yelled angrily: "What is the meaning of not being able to get out, I think it will definitely work, you are ......"
I couldn't hold back my anger anymore and raised my hand and slapped him, the man was slapped a few times and fell to the ground, who knows, he fell out of his courage this time: "Wang Huan, what kind of ability do you have to beat me, you have the ability, you fight with them?" No wonder, Xue Yulu They said that you are a demon ......?"
I immediately became angry: "Tie them all up." ”
With a slight wave of his hand, Tang *jun on the boat stepped forward one after another to tie up the people one by one.
I said coldly, "Whoever says something crooked, I'll throw him down." If you want to live, shut it all up. ”
The peach demon originally wanted to come up to stop it, but was blocked by Ruan Dalong, I deliberately pretended not to see the peach demon's actions, and turned to the bow of the boat with Daoist Li.
Daoist Li smiled faintly and said, "How is it? I'm not wrong, right? This is the human heart!"
Although I was furious, I also knew that their reaction was human, who would easily put their lives in the hands of a stranger? Who would be completely at the mercy of a stranger in a life-and-death situation?
If I were a police officer, or a soldier, they might still believe me because of who I am. But I've been notorious for colluding with the Devil, and they'll never believe me anything. Even if I say it, they'll think I have something else in mind. It's better to tie them up and save them directly.
When I was looking into the distance with a gloomy face, Daoist Li had already spoken: "Look at that mountain beam like a dam over there, as long as we go up, it will be the second layer of the island, and even I don't know what is on it!"
"Can the boat go straight over the mountain beam?" I looked at the slowly rising water, "According to common sense, even if the tide rises, it can't rise so high, right?"
Daoist Li shook his head and said, "It was really impossible before, probably hundreds of years ago, right? Not long after the demon who was chased by the Qing soldiers came to the island, there was a sudden shock on this island. After that, the water would pass through the first layer of the island every once in a while, and after about ten days and a half months, it would return to its original position again. ”
"At that time, there were a lot of danding that tumbled down the mountain like rolling stones, but we never saw anyone fall down. ”
I looked at Daoist Li: "Why did that ghost ship kill people?"
"The owner of that ship didn't think quite the same way as I did. Li explained: "I want people to successfully go to the island to find the antidote. However, the Qing soldiers and Jinyiwei felt that they should leave all the people under the island and not let people go to the island in order to prevent a tragedy like ours from happening again. ”
While the two of us were talking, I suddenly felt that the warship under my feet seemed to have been hit by something from the bottom up, and it suddenly shook upward: "What's the matter?"
"Dragon-eating grass is here, all of us are ready to fight. As soon as Daoist Li gave the order, all the Tang * troops immediately stood on both sides of the ship with weapons in hand.
Daoist Li said in a deep voice: "The grassland that stopped you is the dragon-eating grass, as long as it is flesh and blood, no matter what it is, it will be devoured. Let's prepare to kill people and sacrifice to the sea!While the dragon-eating grass devours the corpse, we may still have a chance to rush up the cliff, otherwise we will ......."
"Shut up for me!" Ruan Dalong roared angrily: "I don't believe it, we can't fight a few grasses." ”
Daoist Li shook his head and said, "Then wait and see!"
As soon as Daoist Li finished speaking, I felt that the warship had stopped in place, and the rustling sound like a poisonous snake crossing the grass suddenly rose around the warship. I turned my eyes to the side of the ship, and like a green veil of grass, the blades of grass were lifted into the air close to the hull, until it exceeded half a meter of the bow of the ship, and then it fell from the air like flowing water, clinging to the side of the ship, and spreading towards the deck.
Tang *jun, who was holding a long knife, turned around to block in front of us, swung his knife and slashed towards the blades of grass, and between the pieces of green grass falling with the blade, the dragon-eating grass rushed from the gap in the human wall to the crowd behind Tang *jun.
I swung my knife and swept away the blades of grass that were approaching me, turned my head and shouted, "Take them out of the cabin." ”
All the Tang * troops were defending against dragon-eating grass, and no one could get off the boat with those who were tied all over, so I swept away the approaching blades of grass, quickly rushed to the crowd and cut the ropes on two of them with a few knives, and then pulled out a dagger and threw it on the ground: "Take the rescue, take all the people under the cabin." ”
I didn't care about the situation of those people, turned around and rushed in the direction of the human wall: "Daochang Li, hurry up and give the order to sail." ”
Daoist Li also shouted: "I have already given the order, but the dragon-eating grass is tied to the bottom of the ship, and the sergeants below will have to wait for a while to clean the cabin......"
Daoist Li waved his long sword and said, "There are too many dragon-eating grasses in front, and this distance is not easy to pass." ”
"It's not good, it's going to be ......" I was talking when I heard a sound of footsteps behind me, I thought it was someone Tang * army coming to reinforce, I didn't think about turning back, but a few seconds later, that person was close to me.
"Wang Huan, be careful......"
"Die for me!"
Two voices sounded behind me at the same time, and I subconsciously turned to one side, and the other party's blade slashed directly under my ribs, although it did not hurt my muscles and bones, but it made a cut in my clothes.
I grabbed the man's wrist and lifted him up in front of me: "Why did you kill me?"
The man who was once slapped by me roared angrily: "If you don't let me live, I'll let you die first!"
"You die first!" I raised my hand and threw the man into the dragon-eating grass, which was still spreading, instantly surrounded the man, and surrounded him in a few seconds, and the blades of grass that were soft as yarn just now became as sharp as a knife in just an instant, and pierced into the opponent's body mercilessly.
Daoist Li said in a deep voice: "Ignition!"
A few Tang soldiers quickly moved out of the corner of the deck, I don't know what they used to refine the grease and poured it on the man, someone took the torch that had been prepared a long time ago and lit the grease.
The dragon-eating grass attached to that person's body was like a poisonous snake burned by fire, screaming and writhing desperately in the firelight, but it refused to let go of its prey in its hands.
Daoist Li ordered again: "Pout the people down." ”
Four Tang * soldiers armed with spears stepped up, stretched the tip of the spear obliquely under the man, and at the same time used force to lift the man horizontally into the air, and the four people did not wait for the corpse to land at the same time, and used the gun as a stick to draw it towards the corpse, and the corpse in the air was immediately whipped out of the boat, and the dragon-eating grass rolled on the corpse also fell to the bottom of the boat.
I looked at Daoist Li coldly: "You did it on purpose?"
"Poor Dao just makes you see the facts......"
Before Daoist Li finished speaking, the hull of the battleship suddenly leaned back, and I stumbled two steps to stabilize my figure.
When I turned my head, my heart sank suddenly.
One side of the warship was untied, but the other side was still under the control of the dragon-eating grass, and the warship not only could not move forward, but even the dragon-eating grass on the other side suddenly shifted backwards.
Daoist Li roared angrily: "Hurry up, carry people to the sea, hurry up and ......"
"No!" Peach Demon and Ruan Dalong stood in front of the crowd together: "Who dares to come!"
"Wang Huan!" Daoist Li said in a deep voice: "My collaborator is you, what do you say?"
What to do?
I'm also thinking about what to do.
Now it's safest to throw out a random person and fight off the dragon-eating grass like just now. However, let me kill innocents indiscriminately, but I can't get over the hurdle in my heart.
Moreover, as soon as this opening is opened, we can no longer contain it - we are still a few hundred meters away from the finish line, and it won't take a few minutes for the dragon-eating grass to digest a person, and what if we are dragged down by the dragon-eating grass?
I clenched the long knife and looked at the crowd, and the peach demon had already shouted: "Wang Huan, don't forget, you are a god probe." ”
