Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Showdown
Under the towering "Cloud Cliff", the sea under the steep cliff is deep and gloomy due to the obstruction of the mountain. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Vertex Novel is the fastest to update
The sun hung in the sky, and under the illumination of the hot light, the "general", Hong Yanwu, and Chen Liquan, all wearing only a pair of swimming trunks at this time, stood on a flat boulder on the coast.
They each hold a handful of seawater in their hands, wash their hair and face first, and then pat them on their chests, belly, and knees, so that these key parts have a process of adaptation.
Yes, they are preparing for the launch. This is a well-known experience of "sea bumpers", if you don't pre-cool your head, you will suddenly get faint when you plunge into the sea. If you don't pre-cool your abdomen, you will have premature convulsions all over your body under cold water.
As for the "Old Knife Fish" and "Little Baizi", as well as the seven "sea encounters" under the "General", they all stood behind them and watched.
No one said a word, their expressions were all frozen, and they lost the heat that they were getting closer and closer just now, but there was a kind of indifference and ferocity between them.
The reason for this is not difficult to explain, naturally because the conditions for Hong Yanwu and the "general" to join forces have not been negotiated.
In fact, the "arrogance" that Hong Yanwu showed just now simply made all the "sea bumpers" feel incredibly ridiculous.
Because this kid not only claimed to be able to multiply everyone's income several times, but also said that he wanted to intervene in the price of sea cucumbers in Bincheng. He even put forward an unbelievable distribution condition on this ground, saying that not only should he hold all the leadership, but also that one of them would have a monopoly of forty percent of the profits.
In the eyes of the "general", this is too insincere. He felt that even if Hong Yanwu was not crazy, he could be regarded as blowing cowhide into the sky!
The price of sea cucumbers has always been set by the state, so how can an individual have the power to intervene in this matter? He has "touched" the sea for more than 10 years, and he has never seen any change in the official price of sea cucumbers.
It's the same with private sales, there are too many "sea cucumbers", but there are not many people who can afford sea cucumbers. How can you intervene?
Besides, in order to be the leader of the "sea bumpers", you must first know where there are crabs and where there are shrimps! You must also be able to observe the sky, be able to calculate the tide, know the sea conditions under the coast well, and have in your mind the terrain and landforms where the sea treasures grow and inhabit, and be able to take the big guys to fish out the thick goods!
These skills, in addition to himself, can also be mentioned as "old knife fish". But the "old saury" is already old, and there is no way to take people to work underwater anymore. Just because the two of them have just come out of the water, how many times have they been in the water? Even if they have some diving skills, they are not qualified to lead him!
This is really a daydream!
It's also in vain to waste one of his kindnesses, it's not worth refuting at all!
So he didn't talk nonsense at that time, and just pulled his face down. He told Hong Yanwu that even if he was "hot face and cold ass", he didn't mention the matter of joining the gang.
Who knew that Hong Yanwu sighed, pretending to show a look of pity, and then actually said, "You are the eldest brother, and you have been leading these brothers to survive, and they all rely on you." I thought you would think about them, but I didn't expect you to be like those officials, reluctant to let go of the seal in your hand. Forget it, anyway, I don't want to be Lin Chong, and I will be angry under Wang Lun......"
This sentence greatly hurt the self-esteem of the "general", because it is tantamount to saying that he is a selfish ghost who is jealous of his talents.
He has never cared about money, but he attaches great importance to his reputation! He has never treated his brothers badly, so how can he bear this infamy in vain? So he was really angry at that time, and he couldn't help but "fight" with Hong Yanwu.
The brothers under the "general" were naturally also indignant, especially the impulsive bald heads, who immediately got involved. For this reason, the situation almost got out of control.
Fortunately, Hong Yanwu maintained full restraint this time, and the "old swordfish" and the "three fighters" persuaded each other separately, and finally maintained the contradiction to the level of verbal disputes.
However, "don't steam steamed buns, fight for a breath", and "general" in order to protect his reputation, he proposed a new bet to Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan.
He said that he would use the diving depth to determine which side of the final power belonged to in the way of "sea bumpers".
The specific condition is that if Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan win, the "generals" will accept the conditions they just said in their entirety, and if they lose, they will have to promise to completely obey the leadership of the "generals," and in terms of the distribution of benefits, each of them can only take half of the harvest as the price of the losers.
To tell the truth, this method is actually quite fair to Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, because this method is only better than the ability to dive, and it will not involve the experience and skills of taking seafood. Therefore, it can also be seen from this that the "general" is indeed above board, and he has not thought of taking advantage of Hong Yanwu.
It should be said that this is exactly what Hong Yanwu wants, and it is also the purpose of his agitation method, so this kid didn't say a word, and agreed to it, and then there was this competition.
"I didn't expect that we would still be right! Let me see the ability of your barefoot 'old foreigner' today! Let's see if it's me, 'Wang Lun', who is powerful, or you, 'Lin Chong', who is a fool!"
Before entering the water, Chong Hong Yanwu, the "general" who was the first to prepare, spoke, obviously still worried about his words.
Unexpectedly, Hong Yanwu smiled, at this time he seemed very sincere, and he no longer had the intention of being vindictive.
"'General', I actually respect you. If you can invite us to join us today, you will save us enough face. If you don't appreciate it, it's not my person. But then again, I didn't give you this face, it's not that I don't know what to do. The main reason is that I really want to borrow you and your brother to do something big, so I want to fight with you. I just said that you are Wang Lun, and that is also to make this bet with you, don't you mind. Seriously, if you really compare the characters of the Water Margin, I think you are quite like the 'Tota Heavenly King' Chao Gai, and your brothers are also like the "Ruan Clan Three Heroes" ......"
The "general" was stunned when he heard this, and he still didn't know whether Hong Yanwu's face changed back and forth. And although he was much more comfortable with the compliment in his heart, on the other hand, he also heard the other meaning of his words, so he snorted again.
"You're pretty confident, as if you've won. I'll admit that I'm not necessarily your opponent when it comes to hands-on. But I also have to tell you, it's another thing under the sea, under twenty meters, one meter is not the same as one meter, don't be reluctant if you can't bear it later, be careful to take regret medicine!"
But Hong Yanwu was unmoved, still smiling. "The sea is high! I would like to have a game with you, and I would like to be pressed into a photo!"
"Okay, no matter who loses, just admit it!"
At this point, the "general" had nothing more to say and took the lead in plunging into the sea.
After him, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan glanced at each other, and at the same time said "go to the sea", and then they also followed the arrow into the sea.
Soon, the three figures quickly entered the sapphire-deep, turbulent sea in the distance.
At this time, in the sound of the waves, only the people on the shore were still standing under the sun, ignoring the heat, watching their whereabouts with their eyes intended.
"Little Baizi" suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but ask "Old Knife Fish".
"Old man, didn't you say that you have to be at the bottom of the dry tide to go to the sea, aren't they a little dangerous......"
Unexpectedly, the bald head of the bystander smiled contemptuously when he heard it. actually grabbed in front of the "old knife fish" and said sarcastically, "I dare to go to the sea when the tide recedes, which is still a 'sea bumper', it can only be a dog jumper." ”
This sentence squeezed the "little Baizi" on the spot. Let him think hatefully in his heart, wait a while for Hong Ye to win, see which of us is a dog jumper! When the time comes, I have to ask you personally, if we are a dog jumper, what is your "general", and what are you kids......
Not to mention, Ah Q's spiritual ** method is quite curative, just thinking like this, he quickly calmed down again.
Back to the sea.
In order to measure the depth of the seabed. The Admiral went into the water with a "professional tool" that could measure the depth of the water.
It is a 40-meter-long coiled rope tied to a large weighing stone at the lower end, starting from the bottom to the top of the 10 meters, a red cloth strip is tied every two meters, and the upper end of the rope is tied to the net drifter, which can be gradually lowered around the wire plate during the measurement, so that you can try to get the exact number of meters.
The "general" led Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan until they swam to the sea more than 100 meters away from the beach before stopping. Then he slowly lowered the rope pendant and measured the depth of the water here to nearly 20 meters.
This is actually beyond the limit of the ordinary "sea bumper", even the "three gangsters" can't go down to such deep water, and it is also because Hong Yanwu and they have the achievements of "Lao Yanger" that the "general" will set such a high starting point at the beginning.
At this point, everyone understands that it's time to practice. After a few minutes, they each surfaced to gasp, each holding either a sea cucumber or a scallop in their hands, which was the "proof" of success to the bottom of the sea.
Seeing that Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan had successfully passed the test, the "general" couldn't help nodding secretly, feeling that they really had some ability. It's just that Hong Yanwu revealed that he didn't care, but at the same time made him a little unhappy.
He was still angry in his heart, and he didn't want to see this kid's spirit! So he deliberately pretended not to care, and led the way again, swimming fifty meters away.
This time, the water has reached 26 meters, which has basically reached the peak of the "old saury" in its prime
All three of them dived again, and when they reached the bottom of the sea, everyone could feel the pressure obviously, the diving goggles were clasped tightly on their faces, and the glass mirror squeaked.
Hong Yanwu, in particular, clearly found that this feeling was very similar to the last time he found the "scallop wall", with nosebleeds, so the depth should be about the same.
It's a pity that this seabed is mostly muddy and sandy, and occasionally a few small reefs are seen, which looks barren and a little desolate. So when they surfaced, the three of them didn't get anything, but each picked up a stone in their hands, or grabbed a handful of sand, and they all gasped for breath for a long time.
However, it should be noted that this time Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan passed the test again, but the "general" was completely shaken. Because even he felt struggling here. Now he was extremely sure that the two men in front of him were real opponents who rarely met.
With more attention than he had ever felt before, he gritted his teeth and swam deeper into the sea.
In the third measurement, the water depth had reached 32 meters. This water is definitely deep enough, and under this pressure, even the "general" will panic. If he had gone to touch the sea by himself in the past, he would never have reached such a depth, because it was not worth the sin, and he was prone to "diving disease".
But today is not as usual, for the sake of honor and for the sake of fighting for morale, the three of them have been completely energetic, so far, everyone is how deep you dive, I can go down, and no one will drop the chain and say soft words.
If he wants to save his luck and want to keep his spare strength, I am afraid that his physical strength will be too much at that time, and it will be doubly difficult even if he thinks so deeply. So he had no choice but to go all out and win with his extreme limitations.
This time, the three of them dived for nearly five minutes, and countless pearl-like bubbles appeared on the water. Until the bubbles got bigger and bigger, and with a "whoosh" sound, Hong Yanwu rushed out of the water first.
At this time, I saw him gasping for breath quickly, and his whole body was already red from the cold, but unfortunately there was nothing in his hands, and it was clear that he had failed.
The second one to emerge was the "General", as soon as he found out that Hong Yanwu didn't get anything, he immediately showed a Dead Sea red shell to show off his might. Panting for breath, he burst out laughing uncontrollably. This sense of accomplishment in defeating a strong enemy is simply incomparable!
But unfortunately, he was still a little early in his joy. Because after Chen Liquan came out later, he also had a conch shell in his hand.
This kind of result was never expected by the "general". He couldn't believe that anyone could reach the depth he had always been proud of. That made him fly away from the victory he thought he had already had.
In this way, the cheerfulness and self-confidence just now quickly turned into an unspeakable frustration, which made the "general" feel extremely unhappy!
So he glanced at Chen Liquan coldly, then gritted his teeth again and marched deeper. By the time he had measured the depth of the water with a rope, he had reached thirty-seven meters that he had never tried before.
The world here is mine, what the fuck are you afraid of!
The current "general" is facing the most difficult situation, he knows that he can't do it without desperately, so he mustered up courage with anger, scolded in his heart, and tried his best to plunge underwater!
However, to his deep regret, this time when he exerted all his strength, in the darkness, when one hand just touched the bottom of the sea, the breath holding of super energy under the water reached the limit.
He couldn't help but feel the air in his body, uncontrollably squeezing out of his mouth, nose, and even eyes. My ears hurt too much!
This made him unable to hold on any longer, unable to even grab a handful of mud and sand, and could only rush out of the water like a rocket. The huge inertia even pushed the diving goggles on his face at once.
And the only ability he had was to gasp for breath in three mouthfuls, and even spit out a mouthful of bloodshot saliva. Needless to say, it was the pressure that caused the capillaries to rupture and ooze blood.
It's just a failure!
But fortunately, he still has a glimmer of hope at present, that is, pinning his hopes on Chen Liquan to fail like him.
But it's a pity that the "general" didn't even have time to calm down and suck, and reality gave him a taste of failure. Chen Liquan, who was a minute behind him before returning to the water, was holding a big "swan egg" (jargon, big clam) in his hand.
"General" was shocked...... He actually lost!
And just when he was in extreme depression, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan said something lightly, but it made him listen to the conversation that almost wanted to vomit blood.
"Izumiko, you're amazing. Diving so deep that you've never had a nosebleed? It seems that there is still a lot of potential to dig up......"
"It's just useless to go deeper. Not to mention that the water mirror will break, and it's too dark under the water to see anything at all, and I searched for a long time to touch such a thing......" (To be continued. )
