Regardless of whether the county order will investigate the cause of the old fisherman's death, Lin Changsheng knows in his heart that the old fisherman must have died at the hands of the Xingluo faction.
The town is a must for the Star Luo faction to enter and exit, and the town must not only be the old fisherman and the mayor, but also many ordinary residents and some businessmen, maybe an inconspicuous one on the side of the road is the eyeliner of the Star Luo faction.
Lin Changsheng prepared everything he could, erected a few railings on the side of the ship, and then renovated it, and then equipped Mu Jiu with wrist arrows, brought a repeating crossbow, put a shield on the ship, brought twelve guards, and they set off in three boats.
Lin Changsheng took Mu Jiu on the boat in the middle, Ming Yi and Ming Er opened the way at the front, and Mu Xuan and Xiaomi protected the rear.
There were four guards in each boat, two rowing, and two guards.
The sun has been hovering high in the sky, not only the sun, but also the lightning, two huge goshawks hovering in the sky, not making a sound and chirping, resounding in the sky.
The blue sky and the clear blue water are connected in a line, the sea and the sky are the same, the wooden boats are swaying, blowing the sea breeze, and the mood that should be relaxed is extremely tense.
I was always thinking about my grandfather, and when I thought that I was likely to meet my grandfather soon, Mu Jiu couldn't calm down, sitting on the wooden boat, and kept talking to divert his attention, "Changsheng, grandpa will be very safe, right?" ”
Lin Changsheng knew what Mu Jiu was nervous about, and gently patted her back and comforted her, "Well, grandpa has always been healthy, you don't have to worry, grandpa has a great role, and the people from the Star Luo Sect won't hurt him for the time being." ”
"No, I don't know the bottom of my heart, if grandpa doesn't obey his fate, they will definitely be bad for grandpa!" Mu Jiu's palms were all covered with fine sweat, holding Lin Changsheng's hand, "Changsheng, I'm so scared." ”
"Don't be afraid."
Lin Changsheng hugged Mu Jiu into his arms, he understood her very well, which was equivalent to a kind of homesickness.
Just then, the sun flew low and threw a dead pigeon on the wooden boat.
The pigeon's death was very tragic, and he was torn in the back with a sharp claw by the sun, and died on the spot.
Lin Changsheng took off the letter tied to the pigeon's leg, opened it, and scribbled three words: Departure.
There was a lot of eyeliner, and I was targeted before I set off.
Lin Changsheng whistled and threw the carrier pigeon up casually, throwing it high.
The sun swept low again, grabbed the pigeon, landed on the side of the wooden boat, and began to bite at the pigeon's flesh.
The picture is a bit brutal, but this is just the way the goshawk eats, and everyone is used to it. It may be related to the mood, Mu Jiu feels a little uncomfortable today.
Lin Changsheng was keenly aware of Mu Jiu's abnormality, and hugged her to change directions, "It's okay, don't think about it, you have to calm down, grandpa is still waiting for us to rescue him and take him home." ”
Mu Jiu knew all this, but today it was like hitting an evil spirit, and she just couldn't calm down.
Lin Changsheng stopped telling her those truths, patted her back quietly, rhythmically, and one by one, humming a melody that he heard from nowhere.
Mu Jiu had never heard him sing, listening to his clumsy low voice, the indescribable anxiety in his heart slowly subsided, took a deep breath, and slowly calmed down.
The scorching sun had already flown into the blue sky, and from time to time there were a few high-pitched chirps, and the boat was moving forward at a uniform speed with the efforts of Ming Yi and Ming Er.
I don't know how long it took, Mu Jiu's eyes lit up, and not far away was the mushroom-shaped big stone that the old fisherman said!
Beyond the mushroom-shaped big stone, the sea not far away is really foggy, vast, the sky and water seem to suddenly disappear here, only a piece of chaos remains, driving into the fog area, it is like entering an unknown world, strange and mysterious.
Lin Changsheng hugged Mu Jiu tightly and listened to all directions.
The guards were all familiar with the nature of the water, rowing at a uniform speed, bowing their heads to carefully distinguish the current, and after a while, they really found a sea surface where the current was different from the rest of the water.
I rowed along the current, and after about ten meters, there was a sound of paddling around me, which was smooth and fast.
Sea snake!
Mu Jiu didn't care about being nervous at this time, and reflexively took out the special sulfur and handed it to Lin Changsheng.
Lin Changsheng distributed it to the other two boats, and then quickly sprinkled it on the side of the boat, only to do this, the wooden boat was surrounded by sea snakes, black and pressed, some tried to get close to the wooden boat, and they were so smoked by the special sulfur that they didn't dare to step forward, so they walked around the wooden boat, looking for opportunities.
Lin Changsheng didn't give them a chance, and swung his sword to cut off the snake's head.
The smell of blood spreads here, staining the nearby sea red.
Lin Changsheng is not worried about attracting sharks, this is the area of Snake Island, even if there are sharks, they are raised by the people of Snake Island, and if the sea snakes are not killed, sharks will appear.
His only fear was that the shark would overturn the wooden boat when it came, in case Jiu'er fell overboard......
Therefore, Lin Changsheng listened to the surrounding movements more carefully, even if the sharks came, he would kill all the sharks as soon as possible!
Mu Xuan and the others were idle, helping Lin Changsheng kill the sea snake together.
If you don't kill them, maybe they will come back on the way back, so it's better to do it once and for all.
Everyone worked together and soon walked more than ten meters.
The current began to get rapid, and some small whirlpools began to appear.
"Be careful, there may be reefs underwater." Lin Changsheng said, the hull in front of him jolted, and it really touched a small reef.
Fortunately, the guards worked hard, controlled the wooden boat in time, and began to move forward steadily.
The whirlpools on the water surface began to increase, and some of the whirlpools could even reach about two meters in diameter.
Everyone became more careful, Mu Jiu abandoned all distractions and dealt with the sea snake wholeheartedly.
Her kung fu is already weak, and she can't help them with anything, at least not to hold them back.
As if thinking of something, Mu Jiu took out a small bamboo tube from his pocket and poured out a silver needle.
Lin Changsheng hurriedly stopped Mu Jiu's movements, "I'll come." ”
Without waiting for Mu Jiu to react, Lin Changsheng snatched the silver needle in Mu Jiu's hand and flew on the head of one of the sea snakes.
Mu Jiu stared at the sea snake with bated breath, this is a poison she developed using the green snake venom obtained from Thundercloud Mountain, it is very contagious like a plague, if it succeeds, this sea snake will bite other sea snakes, causing more sea snakes to be poisoned and go crazy, tearing other sea snakes.
But she had only tested on venomous snakes, never on sea snakes, and if she succeeded, the journey would have gone much smoother.
After a while, the first poisoned sea snake began to bite the next sea snake without warning.
Mu Jiu's eyes lit up, and he was half the battle.
Lin Changsheng smiled and glanced at Mu Jiu dotingly, the little woman really dared to think that using snake venom to make snake poison was amazing!
It's his woman!
He had to protect every detail of her!
Thinking like this, Lin Changsheng looked at the side of the ship, and several sea snakes were biting together.
However, the experiment was not very successful, and after several sea snake bites, the toxicity became weaker, and the previous effect was lost.
"I'm sorry." Mu Jiudao was already thinking about changing several poisons next time.
"What stupid things to say, you're already very powerful." Lin Changsheng stood up, waved his long sword, and slashed several sea snakes on the side of the boat.
There were fewer and fewer sea snakes, more and more whirlpools, and the wooden boats could no longer pass through the current, so the guards had to row the wooden boats to the edge of the current.
But they unexpectedly lost their way, and finally found the surface of the water against the current, and they came to a place full of whirlpools again.
Lin Changsheng remembered the words of the old fishermen, only by following this countercurrent could they reach Snake Island, and this time, they did not dare to go anywhere else.
"Jiu'er, you remember, you can't let go of the rope at any time." Lin Changsheng took out a soft rope to tie him and Mu Jiu together, and there were three meters in the middle of the soft rope to facilitate his movement.
"Don't worry, I'll protect myself." Mu Jiudao was a little guilty, the emotion just now was out of control, which made Lin Changsheng worried.
Taking a deep breath and raising his head again, the light in Mu Jiu's eyes gradually became colder, and the aura of the whole person also changed, the former was still a docile little daughter, and the next second she was like an invincible queen, not afraid of heaven and earth.
Seeing this, Lin Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Our three boats are tied together, and everyone rows together to pass over that small whirlpool." ”
It was only like this, and a dozen or so big men moved in unison, first tying the bow and stern together, and then rowing together, crossing one of the small whirlpools.
At this moment, the sound of "whooshing ......" pierced the air, and the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Here it comes!
"The rower just controls the boat and the direction, and we'll take care of the rest."
More than a dozen big men quickly raised the shield together, leaving a small hole on the side of the shield, which was inserted into the transformed railing just to form a layer of hard shield cabin, blocking the top of the wooden boat, and only needed to swing the sword to block the arrows flying from all directions.
The broken arrow fell into the water and accidentally landed on the reef, revealing only the tail of the arrow.
"Immortality!" Mu Jiu is overjoyed, this is a blessing in disguise!
If the opponent shoots a steady stream of arrows, the arrows fall on the shield with a clanging sound, and then fall into the hand to mark the location of the reef, except for the location of the reef and the whirlpool, it is safe.
The rowing guards' eyes lit up.
The fog was misty, and the line of sight was only a short distance, and the guards slowly rowed, and they could still free up their hands to block the arrows flying next to them.
In this way, he actually went forward for more than ten meters.
The surroundings are still foggy, and you can't see far, but the other party no longer releases arrows.
They began to speed forward, and after a while, a wave came and nearly overturned the ship in front.
Fortunately, the three boats were tied together, and the two boats behind held the front boat, and after shaking violently, the three boats returned to stability.
But once again, arrows came from all directions, as dense as raindrops, covering the hazy sky, and the black curtain seemed to fall from the sky and cover them.
Jingle Bell –
The arrow smashed into the shield with a piercing sound, and Mu Jiu only felt that his eardrum was about to burst......
