Chapter 33: The Terrible Water Ghost
The boat walked for a while, and a few people looked back to see that there was no boat chasing after them, and then they breathed a sigh of relief, Zhu Jiu took the oars, looked at Lan Jiuming and said: "I have been here in Naguze for a long time, and I have seen many big people, but I have never met someone like you with such means!" ”
"The arch is vast, and there are countless sects, my skill is nothing!" Lan Jiuming said lightly, he said to Zhu Jiu: "When we are sent ashore, will you still stay here?" ”
Lan Jiu's meaning was very clear, there were too many things happening tonight, and the slightest carelessness would cost Zhu Jiu his life.
"Originally, I planned to leave here far away, but tonight's battle helped me, and Wang Shun's death has a reasonable explanation, I don't think I have to leave!"
Lan Jiuming nodded and stopped talking. A few people had just experienced a small-scale battle, Wei Xiaofeng seemed extremely excited, he had the blood of the Wei family in his bones, thinking about entering the southern theater of war, the dream of armor and cross-sword war was just around the corner, that kind of natural fighting spirit was completely awakened by the scene just now, his face was slightly red, and he breathed in a big gulp, as if he was about to enter the battle after getting off the ship.
Wei Xiaoyue knew her brother's thoughts, she didn't know whether to be happy or sad, she stayed away from the battle just now, the surroundings were very quiet at the moment, only the sound of the slow flow of water, the breeze blowing, feeling a little tired, she looked at Lan Jiuming, still not shocked, there was no panic on that face, only calm, what was he thinking at this time? If we really return to Luo Xing Palace as we wish, is Brother Ming going to leave?
Wei Xiaoyue felt that she was in a trance, so she quickly calmed down, stretched her waist, and asked, "How far is it from Luoxia Island?" ”
"It's almost there!" Zhu Jiu paddled, his eyes glanced to the side, it didn't matter, he almost scared Zhu Jiu's soul out, only to see that from the reeds on the right side, a distorted face was staring at him!
"Ahh Zhu Jiu suddenly sat down on the boat, and his mouth was speechless, "That'...... It ...... "Lan Jiuming and the three of them also saw it, even Wei Xiaofeng, a person who is not afraid of heaven and earth, is a little frightened, this face looks twice as big as normal, pale skin is covered with blisters, bulging eyes, pus and blood, and terrifying.
At first, Lan Jiuming and the others felt that this was not a living thing, otherwise how could they approach quietly without noticing? But it didn't take long for them to notice that their eyes were turning and swimming in the direction of the boat.
"What is this?" Wei Xiaofeng looked at this giant with some disgust.
Lan Jiuming hadn't seen it before, he said cautiously and softly: "This thing should have more than one head, it follows us, most likely it's not a good thing, be careful!" ”
As he was talking, the 'head' exposed the upper half of his body, and Lan Jiuming could see clearly that this monster was covered in black hair, his limbs were shriveled, and his lower body was stepping on water.
"Brother Ming, what do you see in its arms?" After Wei Xiaoyue said this, they found out that this 'head' was holding a package in his hand, and since it had been in the reeds, they couldn't see exactly what it was holding.
"It's so close, I still don't feel its breath, what the hell is it?" Wei Xiaofeng was really a little flustered, since he practiced, as long as there are living creatures between heaven and earth, whether it is a human being or livestock, they all have their own qi, which can be perceived, it is nothing more than strength or weakness; A person with a high cultivation can feel the breath of the other party from a long distance, even if the breath is weak, the distance is close enough, and the time is long enough, but this monster can't detect the breath at all, as if it is a dead person. But it was still obviously active, and it looked energetic, if it was attacked by it, there would be no time to defend, which made Wei Xiaofeng very uneasy!
"I don't feel the breath of it either!" Lan Jiuming's face was serious, and he watched this monster closely!
Wei Xiaoyue was a little surprised, "Even Brother Ming didn't feel it, it seems that this time there is a big trouble!" ”
Everyone held their breath and waited to make a move. Zhu Jiuzhan held the oar tremblingly, hiding in the corner, and suddenly felt a hand pressed on his left shoulder, suddenly felt like a needle prick, he "oops", instinctively stretched out his right hand to touch, but grabbed a blank, he looked down and saw that his left arm was gone!
A piercing pain surged up, Zhu Jiu looked at his shoulder in horror, and then broke down and screamed! Lan Jiuming hurriedly stepped forward to seal his acupoint, just stopped the bleeding, and when he raised his eyes, he suddenly saw a black shadow behind Zhu Jiu, Lan Jiuming didn't have time to take a closer look, he pulled out the flame knife and looked at the black shadow and slashed over, the black shadow jumped backwards quickly, and jumped into the water with Zhu Jiu's scream, Lan Jiuming looked at Zhu Jiu again, and his entire back had been lifted, revealing his internal organs!
This bloody scene frightened Wei Xiaoyue, and even Wei Xiaofeng was terrified when he looked at it. Lan Jiuming frowned, staring at the place where the black shadow was like water, he saw clearly this time, a huge head, holding Zhu Jiu's back in his hand, stepping on the water and looking at Lan Jiuming!
"This isn't the one from just now!" Although the appearance looked the same, Lan Jiuming saw the difference in an instant, and he secretly screamed, "It's broken!" He turned around quickly, and at the same time raised his right palm and quickly pushed towards Wei Xiaoyue, shouting: "Get down!" ”
Wei Xiaoyue was smart and smart, and she had already understood between the calcium carbide firelight, she immediately lowered her body and lay down, and as soon as her body leaned down, she felt a swift palm wind blowing against her back, only to hear a muffled sound, and the 'head' behind her had been hit by the palm wind, flew out several meters away, fell into the reeds, and disappeared.
"It's so hanging just now!" Wei Xiaoyue was already oozing a layer of sweat on her forehead, and she looked at Lan Jiuming gratefully.
At this time, Zhu Jiu hadn't lost his breath, but the horror and pain made his whole face distort, and he stared at his eyes hard, his eyeballs were almost popping out, Lan Jiuming couldn't bear him to suffer, and hit his Baihui acupoint with his true qi in the air, Zhu Jiu slowly closed his eyes. Wei Xiaofeng felt very uncomfortable in his heart, although he was greedy for money, he was an innocent person after all, if he hadn't insisted on going on the boat overnight, Zhu Jiu would not have suffered this catastrophe.
"Xiaofeng, don't be stunned!" Lan Jiuming hurriedly reminded him that the danger was still there!
The three of them were backed together, ready to face the impending attack at any time, and the monster came and went without breath, making them very uncomfortable. It was unusually quiet, and the moonlight poured down, as if the water had frozen, without a sound.
"Why didn't this thing move at all when it jumped out of the water?" Wei Xiaoyue asked strangely.
"There is a living creature without breath in this world, and the means are so cruel, what a terrible thing!" Wei Xiaofeng was a little timid, he was not afraid of a righteous and bright battle, even if the other party was much more powerful, he would not back down, but in the face of an unsuspecting opponent, he always felt that he would suddenly stab him in the back, and Zhu Jiu's tragic situation was shocking, he was really a little panicked.
Wei Xiaoyue said, "Brother Ming, how did you predict that monster's silent attack?" ”
"I don't have any such a situation by feeling, it's just the instinctive reaction of the muscles in my body at that moment." Lan Jiuming's face was serious, he seemed to have thought of something, paused for a moment, and continued: "It's that our facial features are too sharp, and our cultivation has always been in Qi cultivation, even if it is a cultivation like the Imperial Corpse Technique, it is also to borrow Qi to the dead, so when we encounter an opponent who has no breath, we have almost no ability to fight back!" ”
Lan Jiuming closed his eyes after speaking, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Xiaoyue Xiaofeng, give up your facial features, use your heart to sense your opponent, and release your body's instinctive reactions, this is a rare opportunity to practice!" ”
Wei Xiaoyue and Wei Xiaofeng looked dazed, the opponent had no breath, and could only rely on his eyes to find out, and closing his eyes wouldn't make him more dangerous? Sensing the opponent with his heart, Wei Xiaofeng felt a little ridiculous, he tried to close his eyes, his heart was even more flustered, he hurriedly opened his eyes, and the Yiquan Gong in his hand was held tighter! Wei Xiaoyue also tried it, but it didn't work, but she understood the realm that Lan Jiuming said, and admired him from the bottom of her heart, he could be so calm in danger, and what was even more valuable was that he actually regarded this unknown risk as a kind of cultivation, such a person is really one in a million!
"They're coming!" As Lan Jiuming spoke, he threw out the green dragon whip into the water next to him, and the water surface stirred, and in an instant, a monster was pulled out of the water. Lan Jiuming closed his eyes, picked up the flame knife and slashed it from the bottom up, and the sword qi cut off that monster as a waist! Lan Jiuming's hand movements did not stop, he continued to wave the green dragon whip, sweeping sideways to the reeds on the left, that large area of reeds was swept away by Qi Gen, at this time a giant was revealed, the eyes on his head had been injured by the green dragon whip, the monster covered his eyes, and the diving was gone.
"They won't come again!" Lan Jiuming opened his eyes, put away his weapons, turned his head and said to the two: "They are very smart, one is underwater and ready to attack the bottom of the boat, and the other is taking advantage of our unpreparedness to attack from a distance, now one is dead and one is injured, we are not in danger for the time being!" ”
Wei Xiaofeng praised again and again, "Brother Ming killed such a difficult opponent with his eyes closed, the clinic is amazing!" ”
"They don't have any means themselves, it's just that sneak attacks are difficult to prevent, if they see through it, they can easily solve it!"
"What's next?" Wei Xiaoyue looked at Zhu Jiu's corpse with some sadness.
Lan Jiuming sighed: "We have been walking for so long, we should not be far from Luoxia Island, and we should be able to reach the rest of the road on foot, just let him and this ship stay here, Naguze is his best destination!" ”
The three of them found sulfur, kerosene and other combustibles from the cabin, smeared the hull, Zhu Jiu put it in the middle of the cabin, Wei Xiaoyue helped him clean up the blood stains on his body, covered it with felt cloth, and after everything was cleaned up, Lan Jiuming lit the fishing boat, and the three of them flew and stood on the reeds, watching the fishing boat be burned out and finally sink into the water, and then ran to Luoxia Island.
