Volume 1 Liao Zhai Lost Pearls Chapter 32 Dadu River Monster (3)
The third horse ran over and grabbed the boatman's collar and shouted: "Tian Laohan, if you take our money, even if you use the oars, you must row us to a safe place, otherwise we will throw you into this river to feed the fish!" ”
Although the words were aggressive, but looking at the posture of the ants on a hot pot, they were already panicked.
As soon as Ma Laosan's words fell, suddenly, a water monster with a sharp mouth and a long neck suddenly poked out of the water, stretched out the long neck, and before Ma Laosan could react, he had pierced Ma Laosan's left chest with his sharp mouth, and took his heart out alive, and then returned to the water with Ma Laosan's body.
"Yokai...... Monsters eat people! ”
"Who's going to save us?"
Witnessing Ma Laosan's terrifying death, everyone was already screaming in fright and making a mess.
And one of them should be Ma Laosan's elder brother, who watched the two arguing before, but also watched it as fun, and sat there without making a sound, and then shouted heartbreakingly: "Third brother-"
"Sure enough, it came to the heart!" Pu Zixuan said to Chen Shuqing.
For a while, both of them understood that this monster sensed that there was a purification messenger on the ship, but for a while they couldn't tell which of the more than ten people on the ship was it, so they first stunned everyone, weakened the opponent's combat effectiveness, and then launched an indiscriminate attack. The third horse was closest to the bow of the boat, and he happened to block the boatman with his body, so he became the first victim.
Pu Zixuan suddenly felt extremely guilty, although Ma Laosan spoke more arrogantly, it was not a big crime, an innocent life died because of him, and he had to stand up to resolve this dilemma.
The water monster didn't eat the heart of the purification messenger, and jumped out of the water again, standing on the bow of the boat, and then Pu Zixuan saw its full picture clearly: a pointed beak and a long neck, sharp limbs, long fins on its back, and no scales on its body, it couldn't say that it looked like some known underwater creature, but it was the size of a bear.
Everyone was afraid of death and retreated to the other side of the boat, leaving only Pu Zixuan and Chen Shuqing to confront the monsters in the cabin.
Although the water monster was huge, it was not as heavy as everyone combined, and for a while, one end of the crowd was obviously overweight, and the hull of the ship tilted down to that end.
Someone shouted, "The boat is going to capsize, don't fucking huddle in a heap, who's going to go to that side?" ”
Someone else shouted, "Go to you!" I haven't fucking lived enough! ”
Looking at the panicked crowd, Pu Zixuan was determined to fight the monster, so he asked Chen Shuqing: "What is the name of this monster?" What is the department? ”
Chen Shuqing said: "Like humans, there are also ordinary humans and purification messengers, this is an ordinary monster, there is no department, let alone a name, my strength can completely deal with it, but if I transform, it will only cause a bigger riot, this time, I will leave it to you." ”
Pu Zixuan asked, "But, if I summon a spirit body, will those ordinary people be able to see it?" If you can see it, won't it also cause a riot? ”
Chen Shuqing was stunned: "Yes, whether ordinary people can see the power of purification, I have never experienced it, I don't know." After speaking, she handed Pu Zixuan a pair of oars, "Otherwise, you pretend to attack the monster with the oar, but in fact, you use the power of purification to quickly solve it." ”
Pu Zixuan thought that it was also a solution, so he began to exert his luck, who knew that the water monster was not a brainless person, knowing that it was unpredictable to fight head-on with the purification messenger, so he jumped up, and then fell heavily, and the end of the crowd quickly sank and rose like a lever, bouncing everyone up, and about half of them fell into the river in terror.
Pu Zixuan and Chen Shuqing were in the middle of the boat, naturally they would not fall into the water, but they saw that everyone in the water was also in a mess, some grabbed the side of the boat and wanted to re-board the boat, and some simply swam to the riverbank.
The monster in the water obviously had a greater advantage in the water, and it plunged into the water one by one, and swam swiftly towards the people who had fallen into the water, this time targeting the old boatman.
"I can't let people make senseless sacrifices for me anymore!" At the moment when the water monster approached the boatman, Pu Zixuan summoned the spirit body, grabbed the long neck of the water monster, and pressed it to the side of the boat. The water monster instantly understood that this person was a purification messenger, and without saying anything, he stretched out its neck and attacked Pu Zixuan's heart.
At the last moment, Pu Zixuan's other spirit turned into a claw that pressed the head of the water monster on the deck, and at the same time, holding the oar and hitting the monster's head continuously, he deliberately cursed in his mouth: "Kill you!" Shoot you! ”
Before Pu Zixuan could break its head with an oar, its spirit had already broken the neck of the water monster, and the monster's neck and mouth were bleeding sky-blue blood, and after a few convulsions, it was no longer breathing.
Pu Zixuan kicked the body of the water monster into the river again, and the bulky body quickly sank into the deep river and disappeared.
When everyone saw that the danger had turned into safety, they pulled me and I pulled you, and pulled the people who had fallen into the water back to the boat and sat down. For a while, they were all full of praise for Pu Zixuan's killing of the water monster, and they all expressed their gratitude for his life-saving grace.
It seems that ordinary people can't see the power of magic and purification, and they wouldn't have thought that it was precisely because of the existence of this "benefactor" that they would encounter this unwarranted disaster today!
Pu Zixuan was extremely guilty but couldn't tell the truth, so he had to silently accept their thanks.
Only Ma Laosan's brother was an exception, he grabbed the boatman's arm and shouted, "If you hadn't argued with my brother, my brother wouldn't have been killed by that monster as a meat shield for you!" You'll have to pay me a hundred taels of silver, or I'll fucking be done with you!" ”
The boatman replied: "Ma Er, don't say that I don't have so much money, even if I do, why am I wrong?" Your brother died asking for trouble, it's none of my business! ”
Ma Lao Er threatened: "Okay, Tian Laohan, you have a fucking kind!" In the past, for the sake of everyone being a villager, we will hide your son's affairs for you, from now on, we will see! After saying that, he jumped into the river and swam in the direction of the county seat.
The boatman's face changed drastically, and he shouted in horror: "Ma Er, what do you want to do?" You give me back! ”
Ma Lao Er didn't look back and just swam away, and the boatman kept shouting: "Ma Lao Er, you come back, don't go to the official, please, please ......."
The passengers just wanted to get to the island as soon as possible, and they didn't want to stay in this dangerous place, so they didn't care about anything else, and they urged one after another.
"Forget it, we all know that you're right, it's the third horse's own problem, let's go."
"It's just, what are we doing here? Wait for the next youkai? ”
"Tian Laohan, let's take me to the island quickly!"
"Alas, what kind of sin has I suffered in my life!" The boatman shook his head and sighed helplessly, and went back to hold the boat. The artemisia was gone, but fortunately there were four pairs of oars on board, and the boatman and the other three paddled slowly with the oars, and when the sun set, they finally arrived at Fengzhou Island on the opposite side.
