105: Shipwreck
It is only natural that the dolls made of yellow clay will melt if they are drenched in water. But the Hundred Flowers Thief is a flesh-and-blood person after all, how could he suddenly melt?
Because of a puddle of yellow water, everyone could see it clearly under the light of the fire. A puddle of yellow water began to spread from the deck as if it were alive, quickly engulfing the corpse of the Hundred Flower Thieves. Under the corrosive effect of this yellow water, the corpse began to melt continuously. And the melted flesh and blood turned into yellow water again, and then continued to spread in all directions.
On the deck, there was a terrible battle just now. The remains of those living corpses were scattered everywhere. The stench and poisonous blood flowing in the living corpse even more converged into a stream on the deck, and you could step on a puddle by walking two steps casually.
In such an environment, that strange yellow water is like a fish in water, flowing everywhere unscrupulously, absorbing all those poisonous blood and the remains of living corpses, and then transforming into more yellow water, corroding and dissolving more flesh and blood.
But in the blink of an eye, the pungent sour smell was everywhere on the deck, and even the eyes began to ache faintly. Such a scene is simply bizarre and shocking.
Le Dashao's eyes straightened, and he shouted in a trembling voice: "God! What the hell is this yellow water? It actually melts when it sees blood? It's really terrifying!"
Hu Yuji suddenly exclaimed, "I know where this yellow water comes from." Look, that cutlassy!"
Everyone looked over in response, only to see that the scimitar in Xi Yinchun's hand just now landed right next to the corpse of the Hundred Flowers Thief. When the scimitar landed, the tip of the knife was downward, and it happened to be on the corpse of the Hundred Flower Thief, cutting a wound. The powder that had been sprinkled on the blade must have been poured into the wound at that time.
"Powder! It's the powder!"
Everyone spoke in unison and blurted out exclamations. His eyes also fell on the small porcelain vase that Xi Yinchun was holding in his hand. Xi Yinchun didn't say a word, and quickly stuffed the bottle tightly. Shocked: "It turned out to be corpse powder." Unexpectedly, this thing has not been completely lost. ”
Cheng Li asked, "What is corpse powder?"
Xi Yinchun sighed: "Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, there were five top masters in the rivers and lakes, occupying the five directions of the southeast, northwest, and middle respectively. The people in the martial arts also call them the five legends.
The master in the West is not only profound, but also proficient in poison. He made a poison called corpse powder. As soon as this poison powder touches a drop of blood, the blood turns into yellow water. The flesh and blood rotted and turned into yellow water again.
And so on and on, more and more. It's like a little spark, which can burn all the hundreds of thousands of catties of grain in the granary into fly ashes, which is the most powerful.
However, after hundreds of years, this kind of thing has long been lost. I haven't seen it either, but there is such a thing recorded in the classics of Xiuchun Building. ”
Cheng Li asked, "Can yellow water only corrode flesh and blood corpses?" Or can even wood and stone corrode?"
Xi Yinchun looked around and said with a wry smile: "Whether it can corrode the stone or not, I don't know." But this yellow water can corrode wood, I can be sure of that. ”
The crowd was shocked again. Immediately, he found that the yellow water on the deck flowed freely, and finally merged into a small lake. A large cloud of smoke rose from the surface of the lake, and the sour smell became stronger, making people feel sick.
Although the wood of the deck was strong, it could not withstand the corrosion of the poisonous yellow water, and it was corroded into a large pit. Suddenly, I only heard a loud sound of "bang~". The large swath of the deck was completely shattered, and along with the large pool of yellow water, it fell to the lower floor.
Hu Yuji's face was extremely ugly, and she stomped her feet and said, "Oops! If this continues, my ship will have to be destroyed. ”
In fact, the ship is so big, even if the yellow water is powerful. But if you really want to destroy the whole ship, it will not be possible to do it in a short time. But looking at the speed of the yellow water's corrosion, it must be at most half an hour later, and it will reach the bottom of the ship. When the bottom of the ship is destroyed, the sea water rushes in, and the ship will not be able to sink if it wants to.
In this vast sea, once you lose the support of your ships, no matter how good your water is, you will still die. Suddenly, almost everyone present was speechless. Obviously, there are six gods and no masters, and every inch is in chaos.
The only one who hasn't lost his cool is Cheng Li. He immediately made a decision and shouted, "Put down the lifeboat immediately, let's go." ”
Everyone was at a loss, and when they heard Cheng Li's order, they woke up like a dream, and hurriedly put the two life-saving boats down to the sea. I didn't even have time to pack my belongings, so I hurriedly left the ship and got into a lifeboat.
It is said to be a lifeboat, but in fact, it can seat at least 20 people. Leng Yuxiang led more than a dozen female soldiers to sit on one of them. Hu Yuji and some other female soldiers, as well as Cheng Li, Xi Yinchun, Le Dashao and the man in black, sat on another boat. They took up the oars and rowed together. After a while, it was already far away from the sea ship.
The sea stretches as far as the eye can see. Even if it's a distance of ten or twenty miles. In the darkness of the night, everyone could still see the brightly lit sea ship very clearly. I saw that the ship of the sea first had a very obvious tilt. Immediately after, the stern was below, the bow was up, and the whole ship was completely "standing".
But the keel of the ship, obviously, could not withstand this pressure. Finally, with a loud "click~", the entire sea ship broke in half. A huge whirlpool appeared in the water, whirling and pulling the two broken boats down to the bottom of the sea.
After half an hour, the whirlpool disappeared and the sea returned to calm. The ships of the sea have completely disappeared. It's as if it never existed.
This kind of scene, except to see it with one's own eyes, I am afraid that no one can imagine it. And sitting in the lifeboat, watching the ship sink quickly. This kind of mood is also something that you will never be able to experience unless you are in the situation.
After a long time, Xi Yinchun woke up like a dream. He sighed and said, "Such a spectacle is really rare in my life. It's a pity that if the price of watching it once is to lose your own life, then the price is too great. ”
Cheng Li said lightly: "At least, we are not dead yet." If you want to give up, you can jump on your own, I promise I won't pull you. ”
Xi Yinchun smiled bitterly: "Yes, yes, I shouldn't have said such frustrating words, I was wrong, I apologize, that's all right, right?"
Cheng Li pondered for a long time and asked Hu Yuji, "Which direction is the Sea Pinjin Grotto?"
Hu Yuji was stunned, and subconsciously pointed to the northeast: "It's over there." ”
Cheng Li nodded, without saying a word, picked up the oars, and rowed hard to the northeast.
Xi Yinchun also understood. He couldn't help but praise: "Good idea." We've been out at sea for so long, and now we're only going back, we can't do it. However, if you paddle in the direction of the Golden Cave at sea, it is possible to reach your destination before you run out of energy. This is our only chance of life. ”
Hu Yuji also came back to her senses, and said with her head bowed: "In the northeast, there are many uninhabited islands. Even if we can't get to the Golden Cave, as long as we run into these small islands, we will be saved. ”
Hope is at hand, and it's no longer just a dead end. Suddenly, the people on the two dinghies were in high spirits. Without saying a word, everyone immediately picked up the oars and rowed in the northeast direction together.
