At the critical moment, Sister Bailing still had a way, so she took out a stack of white paper from the embroidery bag, and in our puzzled eyes, the white paper was quickly folded into a small paper figure three inches high.

The others were still full of doubts, but the Taoist priest and I understood a little, paper man, could it be that Sister Bailing plans to be a puppet?

The art of puppets, I saw it as early as when I was in Aji Village, the corpse mover of the Shangli people used a paper puppet to help me once, and later in my hometown, the third uncle also used a stand-in paper puppet in order to blend into the village controlled by the Heavenly Witch Sect, and the uncle also relied on the puppet body to infiltrate the Heavenly Witch Sect, Sister Bailing would this, it is not unusual.

It's just that I don't know much about this thing, and I don't know what Sister Bailing's intention is to sacrifice it at this moment, could it be that she plans to let the paper puppet explore the way?

Just in doubt, the paper figure had been completely formed in Sister Bailing's hands, and then, Sister Bailing took out another hair out of nowhere and wrapped it around the little paper man's feet, while chanting some strange spells, while dripping a black liquid with a faint fishy smell on the paper man's eyebrows.

In an instant, the paper figure stood up from the deck, as if it had come to life, and then staggered up from the ship and slowly floated out.

This magical scene stunned everyone, especially Xiu Ling, who had never been exposed to these things, and her small mouth was so open that she could stuff an egg.

Looking at the paper figure that floated to the waterway on the right, the Taoist priest sighed, and his face showed a sudden look: "Oh, so that's the case, the puppet spirit is traced, why didn't I think of it?" Hey, you are worthy of being the closed disciple of the first person in the Southern Xinjiang Witch Gu, Sister Bailing, you are really amazing! ”

The Taoist priest admired and patted Sister Bailing's ass, I was very curious, so I asked the Taoist priest what the puppet spirit trace in his mouth was?

The Taoist priest glared at me and said that the puppet spirit tracing is not a thing, but a secret art, and there are all inheritances of witchcraft and Taoism, but the methods are different. Let's take the paper puppet made by Sister Bailing just now, the paper puppet is just a kind of soul control technique, but with that hair, supplemented by a secret spell, the paper man can reproduce the traces left by the hair owner here not long ago.

In other words, Sister Bailing is planning to let the paper man reappear which path the hair owner took not long ago, and as for that hair, it should be the third uncle's.

The Taoist priest has always liked to exaggerate and brag, and he can't believe his words, so I asked Sister Bailing if it was what the Taoist priest said.

Sister Bailing didn't answer, just looked at me with a light smile, and the answer was already obvious.

I sighed, and suddenly there was some complaint in my heart, thinking to myself, why didn't my grandmother teach me these powerful things at all? The third uncle and Sister Bailing can do it, and even the uncle seems to know a lot, but I don't know anything alone, which is too unfair.

Complaining is complaining, and I also know that grandma did this entirely for my own good, but I have already come into contact with these strange forces, and atheism has been broken, so I don't want to hide this from me now, right? When this happens, I must go back to my hometown and let my grandmother teach me some things, so that I can save my life at a critical moment, right?

In the middle of my cranky thoughts, the paper man had completely flown into the river on the far right, according to the Taoist priest's explanation, the third uncle should have walked on this side.

Although Xiu Ling still didn't believe it, seeing that we had already made up our minds to enter the river on the right, she had to control the boat and sail into the rightmost river channel according to our request.

There is a paper puppet in front of us to guide the way, we just need to follow closely, but because the speed of the paper figure is not very fast, so the speed of the boat also slows down, leisurely swimming, just like the old ox and broken cart in the mountains when I was a child, sitting and sitting, people began to get sleepy.

Fortunately, we all have the little insects given by Sister Bailing in our mouths, and the chill is emitted from time to time, swimming all over the limbs and hundreds of remains, but it is not really sleepy, but this state of being sleepy for a while and awake for a while is really tormenting.

I don't know how long it took, but I was dozing off the side of the boat when I suddenly felt a slight crash from the deck below the fart-thigh.

It wasn't loud, but since I was sitting on the deck, the vibrations were clear in my head, and it was a time of nervousness, so I immediately woke up from my sleep.

I subconsciously looked at the deck next to me, and I didn't notice anything unusual, the boat was still moving slowly, and it didn't look like it had hit something.

Wondering in my heart, I looked at the doctors and Taoist priests who were also on the deck, and wanted to ask them if they had noticed anything strange just now, but before I could ask, just looking at their expressions, I knew that I didn't feel wrong, because their faces were also full of doubts.

We exchanged glances, each leaning out in one direction to observe the situation in the water.

I was on the left side of the ship, near the cabin, and the doctor was on my side, but he was near the stern. As soon as I poked my head out, I felt as if a dark shadow flashed under the water, and I couldn't see what it was because it was so fast, but my eyelids couldn't help but jump wildly.

Although it was only a blink of an eye, the size of that shadow was really a little bad!

I wasn't sure if I was dazzled, so in order not to cause panic, I pressed the fear in my heart and didn't say it immediately, but in the next second, the boat under our feet suddenly had a huge earthquake, as if it had suddenly suffered a huge impact, and the entire hull was knocked sideways and stuck on the roots of the ancient trees on both sides of the river.

We were caught off guard by this sudden shock, and we were not at all prepared as we crouched on the side of the ship to check the underwater situation, and at the same time that the hull of the ship was swerved, I was thrown off the deck, and only two hands were still holding on to the side of the ship, and the place below the knee was completely submerged in the water.

As the old saying goes, blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not one-sided, I didn't believe much in this before, but today, I believe it. Just when I was thrown out of the deck and the boat was stuck in the river, the Taoist priest on the deck suddenly exclaimed: "Immeasurable, you great-master, be careful in the water, there are big guys!" ”

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the boat stuck in the river shook again, and the violent shaking made my hands numb, and the hand that held the deck almost came loose.

I was horrified, and hurriedly shouted for help, and when I heard the cry for help, the two people on deck seemed to notice my condition, and the doctor, who was closest to me, rushed over and grabbed my hand, trying to pull me up, but at this moment, the hull of the ship was hit again, this time the movement was even greater, and the whole boat was lifted out of the water several inches.

The doctor's whole body was on my hands, and my feet were unsteady, and my body suddenly stumbled forward, almost tumbling into the water.

Fortunately, the Taoist priest on the deck arrived in time to hug him, he did not fall into the water, but my situation is not so optimistic, originally I hung on the outside of the ship, has fallen the boat a little tilted, at this time the doctor Taoist priest in order to save me, also gathered on this side of the ship, the weight of the three of us plus the other side of the violent impact-impact, has made the ship not far from capsizing, I am more than half of my body submerged in the water, the situation is extremely critical.

Seeing that the boat was about to capsize, I hurriedly shouted at the two of them: "Leave me alone, go back quickly, the boat is going to capsize!" ”

In a panic, the Taoist priest cursed, let go of the doctor, and crawled back to the other side.

By this time, the doctor had stabilized his body, but the impact on the other side of the hull was still continuing, the hull was jolting, and his body could not bear the strength, and he could only hold me and prevent me from falling into the water, but he could not pull me up.

It's not a way to keep consuming like this, and if it goes on like this, the ship will not capsize, but it will be crushed, and the doctor hurriedly shouted to the Taoist priest: "Quick, quickly see what is doing wrong!" ”

It is not necessary to be reminded by the doctor, the Taoist priest has already done this, but the boat is shaking badly, and the water surface is not calm, he has not seen what is under the water for a long time, and he is so anxious that he scolds: "Dog-day, this place can't see through the light, and the water is shaking so badly, the Taoist can't see clearly!" ”

At this time, the girls in the cabin also stumbled out, and when they saw the situation on my side, they all wanted to come and help. The doctor hurriedly stopped them and told them not to come again, otherwise the boat would capsize, and if they wanted to help, they should help the Taoist priest deal with the monsters in the water.

When the doctor talked about the monster, I suddenly remembered the black shadow I had just seen, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, if it was really that shadow, we would be in trouble, the shape of that thing is very similar to a crocodile!

I don't know if there are crocodiles in the 100,000 mountains, but the silhouette I just saw is indeed very similar to the crocodile, and it is a little bigger than me, how can there be such a big fish in an ordinary river?

Thinking that maybe it was a huge crocodile underwater, I suddenly felt a chill rise from the part of my body soaked in the water, and I couldn't care about anything, and struggled desperately to climb up.

Strange as I was, as I struggled to climb the boat, the shaking of the hull suddenly stopped, and it seemed as if the monster that had hit the hull on the other side had given up the hard bone and had left.

Without the impact of the monster, the boat no longer rocked as violently as it had just been, and the doctor struggled to pull me up.

I had just left the water when I was happy, but I saw the doctor's face change suddenly, and from the picture reflected on his glasses, I saw a bloody mouth rushing out of the water under my feet.

I only felt a numb scalp, and I felt a sigh in my heart, knowing that I was going to be unlucky, but at this time I was being dragged in mid-air by the doctor, and my body couldn't make any dodge reactions, so I could only wait for the huge bite under the water to come up.

At the last moment, a huge black shadow suddenly burst out from behind the doctor, and the black shadow jumped out of the deck with strange speed, and fell into the water with me, and at this angle, it must have collided with the huge mouth of the blood basin in the water.

It wasn't until the shadow fell completely that I saw that it was the third child.

The third child stepped forward to buy me time, and the doctor took the opportunity to pull me up to the deck with a hard pull.

When I got back on deck, I almost collapsed, and I was indescribably scared at the thought of the bloody mouth under the water.

"The third, how is the third?" I reflexively threw myself to the side of the boat, wanting to see if the third child was okay, but when I looked down, I could only see two black shadows tangled together underwater, and the fight was inseparable.

I looked anxious and wanted to help, but I couldn't do anything but stare dryly from the deck.

The two shadows under the water quickly disappeared from our field of vision, and we didn't know whether we hid under the boat or went deeper underwater, but soon, blood began to appear in the water, and the color of the water was also dyed red, and at a glance, there was an indescribable hideous feeling.

As the saying goes, a strong dragon can't suppress the head snake, although the third child is brave, but after all, this is someone's territory, and it is still fighting in the water, will the third ......

The appearance of blood and water made our hearts lift, and we were all a little worried about the safety of the big black dog, but at this time, whether it was the big black dog or the monster in the water, there was no trace, but the color of the water was even more red.

Just as we were all holding our breath and staring intently at the movement of the water, suddenly there was a splash on the other side of the boat.

We hurriedly leaned over to take a look, and suddenly our hearts became excited, only to see that it was the third child who made a splash on the water.

The third child struggled to swim towards the side of the boat, looking a little struggling, and there was a black tail in his mouth, and behind that tail was a behemoth that sank in the water, and the blood in the water flowed from the monster.

The Taoist priest laughed happily when he saw this, and said Good dog, what a good dog!

The third child quickly swam to the side of the boat, and the Taoist priest turned over and entered the water, tied the monster's body with a rope, and cooperated with the people on the deck, and it took a lot of effort to drag the monster to the boat, and in the process of dragging, the boat almost overturned.

On deck, we were all gathered together, and in fact I could see it for what it really was when I dragged it aboard.

The monster that almost knocked our ship over was a huge lizard, with strong limbs and a flat head, which looked a little like the head brother, more than two meters long, covered with fine black scales, glowing with a ghostly light, and felt like steel, I am afraid that even a bullet could not hurt it, I really can't imagine how the third child killed him.

The monitor lizard is larger than us, and when we turned it over, we found that its belly was not protected by black scales, showing a pink-tender red color, and it was the third child who bit through the belly of the monitor lizard to make it lose blood fatally.

I sighed in my heart, this is the first time I've seen such a big lizard, look at this guy's head, I'm afraid it's not the first time to attack a boat, maybe the wreckage of the boat we saw by the river pond is this thing.

Lin Qiao'er was very interested in the monitor lizard, and reached out to pull the monitor lizard's head, I felt inappropriate in my heart, and I was faintly uneasy, and I was trying to keep her away from the monitor lizard, but the monitor lizard's head that didn't want to die suddenly moved, and its flat head was split into two halves in an instant, forming two heads, and the head that could still move opened its bloody mouth and bit Lin Qiao'er's hand violently.
